| | Vista, iTunes, and multiple users? I am setting up a Vista machine for a family of four, each one has iphones and/or ipods. Each one has their own login. I set up itunes for user 1 fine, BUT, it looks like when user 2 logs in and launches itunes, it is trying to access user 1's music folder and gives an error. Can someone confirm what is happening, and can itunes handle this multiple user setup? Thank you. |

| | Re: Vista, iTunes, and multiple users? Yes, I have done extensive searches on this, there's info on how to do multiple users w/ one library and one user w/ multiple libraries, but not how to do multiple users each with their own library "Eric" wrote: Quote: > > "dlw" <dlw@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:802C138F-0C59-4AC2-B345-7ED6C30033EB@xxxxxx Quote: > >I am setting up a Vista machine for a family of four, each one has iphones > > and/or ipods.

| | Re: Vista, iTunes, and multiple users? Did you click the link I provided? It mentions 3 methods. The first method to try says have each user set it up under their own Windows login. The second method says set it up with one library using a different playlist for each device. The third method says how to set up new libraries. If you're saying your PC is confusing method one with method three, that you set up multiple user logins and properly created multiple libraries, but each login wants to reference the same library, you might want to stick with the shared library using multiple playlists method or you should look for additional information on that problem from Apple.

I've had some programs do that, most just install for all users, can't remember what iTunes did. |
