I-Mac & I-pod Touch Question

Orange_King

A colleague has recommended an I-Mac to me due to the safety aspects and it running alongside other devices already in the house such as the Touch.

Can anyone advise if the I-Mac can accommodate 2 different I-tunes accounts and 2 I-pod Touch devices as there has always been a conflict on our PC when the kids have tried logging into their accounts?

Maybe they have just not set things up properly on the PC?

to be honest I do not use a mac so not totally sure, however I was under the understanding that itunes is the same on either mac or windows so you would probably hit the same problems you have now

and if your only other reason for getting a mac is security i think you would be being charged a very high price for this privilege.

iI you set up the iTunes accounts on separate user accounts on either a Mac or PC then there should be no difference.

You can either a) setup two user accounts with two different itunes libareys or b) setup one user account and every time you open itunes hold down the option key and select which itunes liberay you want. (pants spelling)

I do not know about macs. But on a PC you certainly can have that. I have 2 devices (well mine and my wife's), with two itunes libraries and 2 itunes accounts

On a PC, you hold down the shift key when you double click itunes to run. Keep the shift held until you get a little window asking if you want to choose a different library or set a new one up. Just select new and take it from there

Them, when you want to swap just holdShift doulble click itunes, and change then. They are both totaly seperate accounts

Hopefully you can adapt that to a mac
