Method One

If you share your computer with other people, you can maintain separate user accounts for each person who uses the computer. This is useful especially if each user has different tastes in music or other media; users can maintain separate, personalized iTunes libraries and can customize their devices' sync settings accordingly.

Mac OS X users:

Learn how to set up additional user accounts.

Windows users:

Look in your computer's Help documentation to learn how to set up additional user accounts. To locate this information:

1. Click the Start Menu, and then click Help or Help and Support.
2. Enter "new user" in the Search field.
3. Press Return.

If you create multiple user accounts on one computer but want the same media to be available in iTunes for all users, see iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer.

Method Two

You may use multiple devices on a computer without the need to create multiple user accounts. To do this, you can set iTunes to update each device with only certain playlists. This method allows you to put all your music on, say, your iPod and keep your iPod shuffle updated with only your workout music. Here's how to do this with iTunes:

1. Create new iTunes playlists that contain all the music that you want to sync to each device.
2. Learn how to sync your device.

Note: iTunes for Windows does not support syncing multiple iPod devices at the same time.

Method Three

Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note: It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not just make a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open, quit it.

1. Mac users: Hold down the Option key while you open iTunes.
   Windows users: Hold down the Shift key while you open iTunes.
2. In the dialog that appears, click Create Library.
3. Name and save the alternate library file. iTunes opens with your brand new library file.
4. Open iTunes Preferences. Choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows).
5. Click the Advanced tab.
6. Deselect the "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" checkbox if it is already selected and click OK. This will prevent iTunes from creating duplicates of your existing media files in the new library folder.
   
7. Add the specific media files you want on your device to iTunes either by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows).
8. Once you have the iTunes Library just how you want it, connect and sync your device.
9. Once the sync is complete, quit iTunes.
10. Mac users: Hold down the Option key while you open iTunes.
    Windows users: Hold down the Shift key while you open iTunes.
11. Click Choose library.
12. Choose your original iTunes Library and click Choose (Mac Users) or Open (Windows Users). You can now switch back and forth between the different libraries for different devices.

This software updates OS X Server v2.0, v2.1, v2.1.1, or v2.2 to v2.2.1. It is recommended for all OS X Server users. For information about the security content of this update, please visit this website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222.

How to install

OS X Server v2.2.1 is available from the Mac App Store. It will appear in the Updates pane if you have OS X Server (Mountain Lion) v2.0, v2.1, v2.1.1, or v2.2 installed. Click the UPDATE button to install.

During the installation you may see the message "Server app replacement detected." This is a normal part of the update process. All Server settings and data will be preserved during the update.

After installation is complete, open Server app in order to complete the setup of all previously configured services.

What's included?

Some of the improvements included in this update are:

Caching service

• Introduces a new feature called the Caching service, which speeds up the download of software distributed by Apple through the Mac App Store. It caches both software updates and purchased apps from the Mac App Store. For more information about the Caching service, choose Server Help in the Help menu.

Server app

• Includes a centralized Certificate management interface.
• Addresses a setup issue related to an SSL error.
• Includes additional fixes for upgrading from Lion Server.
• Addresses an issue in which attempting to change the blacklist server used by the Mail service might not work.
• Includes general enhancements.

Adaptive Firewall

• Addresses an issue that caused an exception to be raised when using the hb_summary tool.

Calendar service

• Addresses an issue in which Calendar invitations were always sent in English.
• Includes general enhancements.

Mail service

• Addresses an issue in which freshclam and clamav do not provide logs about upgraded systems.
• Resolves an issue in which the quota hard limit was not being respected.
• Addresses an issue in which certain settings weren’t maintained when upgrading from a previous version of OS X Server.

Contacts service

• Corrects an issue in which under certain circumstances, the service would not start when using a non-default location for the data store.
• Adds the ability to search for records containing non-English characters.

Messages service

• Resolves an issue where under certain circumstances, the service would not start when using a non-default location for the data store.

Profile Manager

• Adds the ability to use Active Directory groups with Profile Manager.
• Adds the ability to delete apps uploaded to Profile Manager.
• Includes performance and other general enhancements.

Time Machine

• Allows monitoring of which computers have backed up, when they last backed up, and the size of the backup.

You can specify advanced configuration settings for the Caching service with the command line or by editing /Library/Server/Caching/Config/Config.plist. The keys and description of values are listed below.

Note: Settings in the Config.plist file not outlined below should not be changed.

The ListenRanges key

The ListenRanges key can be used to specify preferred Caching servers in advanced network topologies where multiple Caching servers are used behind the same public IP address. For example:

• caching1.example.com uses the ListenRanges key to specify a range of 10.0.0.1 through 10.0.0.254 and 10.1.0.1 through 10.1.0.254.
• caching2.example.com uses the ListenRanges key to specify a range of 10.1.0.1 through 10.1.0.39 (note the overlap with caching1's second range).
• If a client whose IP address is 10.0.0.10 requests an asset, it will be directed to caching1.
• If a client whose IP address is 10.1.0.10 requests an asset, it will be directed to either caching1 or caching2. The server will be chosen randomly.
• If a client whose IP address is 10.2.0.10 requests an asset, it will be directed to either caching1 or caching2. The server will be chosen randomly.
• If caching1 is shut down or loses power but caching2 remains available, all clients will be directed to caching2.

Setting values for a key

To set a key with a simple value, you can use the serveradmin(8) command. For example, to set the Interface key to en1, you would execute this command as an administrator:

sudo serveradmin settings caching:Interface = en1

The ListenRanges key has a complex value, making it easier to edit /Library/Server/Caching/Config/Config.plist in order to set it. If you edit this file manually, be sure to first stop the Caching service and quit Server app. Once you've finished editing the file, set the user and group ownership to _assetcache prior to starting the Caching service with this command:

sudo chown _assetcache:_assetcache /Library/Server/Caching/Config/Config.plist

Below is an example Config.plist file.
