    How to use multiple iDevices with one computer

     

    As you'll see, there is no reason to create seperate libraries.

    You can open iTunes while holding the Option Key and "Create new library." You can then name them accordingly. You will need to go to iTunes presences > advanced and uncheck copy files to iTunes library and afterwards drag the iTunes media folder back into the newly created iTunes library.

     

    After all new libraries are created, and the content added to it, you will be able to open iTunes while holding the Option Key down and "Choose Library" and swap between the separate libraries.

     

    A better way maybe to create each user their own account with their own libraries. Either way would work.

    Hope that helps!
