2 accounts 1 computer

So i have i phone + imac and my girlfriend has ipad 2 and we live together......i upgraded our software and our calenders n all that ish got mixed up n now we are confused cuz nothings how it was, i ended up just takin everything off so its all blank. any solutions or help with 2 accounts 1 computer or icloud i dono its confusing

Two people, one computer and different iOS devices are a little confusing. Assuming you want some things to remain separate - you want your calendar, she wants hers or the music should be separate etc - then create two accounts on the computer: one for you and one for her. She does her stuff on her account, including syncing the iPad. You do your stuff on your account including syncing the iPhone.
If the two of you share your music this gets a bit more complex and we can deal with it in a different message.

  • How do I remove Safari from just one account on a multi-account computer?

    I'm not new to macs, but I am new to multiple accounts on one computer, so forgive me if this is a real obvious question:
    I have two accounts, A & B. I want to have Safari on account A, but not on account B. However, when I trash Safari on account B, it is also removed from account A. So the question: How to I get rid of Safari on account B and keep it on account A?

    If you just have the two accounts, you can move Safari into the account you want to have access. Of course, if the other account has administrator access, there isn't much you can do to prevent them from making a copy or moving it back. Any user with administrator access can get root permissions to do just about anything, so trying to implement some kind of restrictions isn't really going to work - what exactly is it you are you trying to do?

  • How do you share same info on multiple account computer

    Excuse what may be a simple or obvious question, but I'm new to this particular environment...
    We're moving info from an older G4 computer to a new MacPro.
    On the older G4 computer, we had just one account which all users accessed -- it was a very simple work setup. On the newer MacPro, all users will have their own account.
    There is still certain info/data that all users will need to access, such as Address Book info, iPhoto photos, and iTune songs.
    1. After we set up the separate user accounts, what is the best way to set up the MacPro so that all users can access the same iTunes, iPhoto, Address Book, etc. data?
    2. For other files that an individual may be working on -- such as Word, inDesign, Excel, etc. -- how can one user best access another user's file.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Re: Sharing iPhoto...
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • Mobile Accounts:  Computer or User?

    I finally figured out how to set up my DNS/LDAPv3/server on my LAN.  But, playing around with setting up Users and Computers is still confusing.  I had unsucessfully set up a mobile account (multiple times), with a user directory (by accident), but was not sucessful in getting them to sync.  My scenario is this:  I have (1) MBP that I have an existing user account (my account) which also  happens to be the administrator account.  My goal is the get my home folder in my MBP to sync to the server I set up.  Eventually, I'll set up another laptop so I can use either and use the same home folder, or just log in as that user (myself) on the server directly.  So, a few specific questions so I can get started...
    1.  Using Workgroup Manager, should I be setting up a new "User" or new "Computer" on the server?
    2.  When I set up either for experimental purposes, Under Accounts>Basic, there is no Home Directory.  When I click the Home, then click + to add one, I don't know what I'm supposed to type (i.e.,  Mac OS X Server/Share Point URL, Path to Home Folder, or Full Path).  Ideally, it would be nice to have my network home folder of my PHD on my external RAID, but anywhere would work for the time being. 
    3.  Can this be done for an existing user on my MBP, or is this only for new users or computers?  Should I reinstall the SL client on my MBP and dedicate the Administrator as just that, then create a new user on the server and clone my existing home folder to it (with my applications and preferences on my MBP or course)?
    I've read through the user manual a few times.  But, I just don't have enough server knowledge to pick up on whatever Apple is explaining.

    From what I have done and learned with Mobile Users, these are few tips;
    First, you need to have a Mobile User in your server so you an sync it. You can not sync the user from your MBP just like that, the User needs to exist on the server to be able to get synced.
    Second, you need to create Sharepoints with AFP or witch ever service you wish to use, (I recommend AFP for mac user homes), Add AFP service in Server Admin and open it, create folder somewhere what you wish to use for sharing the data ( in the raid drive perhaps), and then click Share, and select use for User home folders. When you do this, this sharepoint will show in Workgroup Manager in User / Home tab, and you can just click it from there, and hit Create Home Now, then remember to Save.
    I believe there is a way you can transfer your user and home folder&files to your server, I remember reading about that somewhere in here, but I dont have spesific instructions for you I'm afraid. You need to search this forum.
    Hope this gives you some direction

  • Transferring money(balance) from one account/computer to another

    I have purchased itunes cards and applied the money to my account, on different computers. Thus, I have a balance in one computer as well as another.
    Is there a means to lump all of this money/balance into one computer, so that I need not use the other computer to purchase?

    You get one d/l from the iTS - from there you will have to do the transfer via the offered options.
    As long as the other computer is authorized then it will play the content.

  • After updated to latest Firefox, uninstalling sync and resyncing through my account, computer will not bring up tabs from synced computer.

    I have followed all the steps to update to the latest version of Firefox, uninstall the old sync (which never worked anyway) and create a Firefox account to install the new sync. The Firefox sync tab shows computers as synced, but even after restarting the computer, it does not bring up browser tabs from the other computer. Both have all boxes checked on sync.
    One computer has XP, my laptop has Win7.

  • Original itunes account computer crashed

    My main computer (laptop) completely crashed/just flashed it self off and died. This was the computer that had my original itunes acct on it.
    Since then I have not been able to upload any of my new music to my iPhone 5.  It has the old stuff but will not upload or transfer anything new from itunes.  I have itunes on another laptop and a desktop, is this not possible to do once the original computer has died??

    If for some reason you have failed to do the basics and maintain a backup copy of your computer - not good - then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countires:

  • Managing multiple itunes accounts on a single computer

    I have an iPod and an iPad that use a single iTunes account on a certain PC. I have a second iPod that I have setup on a second computer which also has its own separate iTunes account (because at the time I didn't understand you can manage multiple devices from a single account/computer). This second iPod has iPod apps I have purchased from my second iTunes account. I would like to change this and manage my second iPod from my main computer (so everything lives in one place). When I hooked the second iPod up to my main computer I picked the option to "transfer purchases to this computer". It acted like it was doing it, but I noticed nothing transferred. I unplugged the device and plugged it back in, and a dialogue box told me this iPod contained 33 applications that were NOT authorized to play on this computer and would not transfer them. It said I needed to authorize the computer to do that. My PC is already authorized with my main account and I don't want to mess that up. Can I authorize my computer for my second itunes account and have it authorized for both? Am I allowed to take apps I've purchased for the ipod that is on account 1 and install any of those apps on the ipod that is associated with account 2? I've purchased all these apps, I just did not understand from the get go that there was no need for me to setup 2 completely different itunes accounts. The second iPod I am going to give to my young daughter as a toy, but I absolutely don't want to mess up my iPad and first iPod as I use them for work on a daily basis. Any help would be appreciated.

    +Can I authorize my computer for my second itunes account and have it authorized for both?+
    Yes. Sign out of the itunes store under the first account, then _sign back in_ with 2nd.
    +I just did not understand from the get go that there was no need for me to setup 2 completely different itunes accounts.+
    Don't worry, lots of people made this same mistake. It will be kind of a hassle remembering to authorize both accounts in the future, but it's manageable. You know that license agreement that comes up after an itunes update? I think you'll have to go in under both accounts and agree to it from now on.

  • Bookmarks Safari on a computer more than one account

    My computer has always been a one account-computer. Recently I added a new account. When I open Safari from this new account and I want to add or remove a bookmark it always says (in Dutch): there's a problem with saving the bookmarks. On the original account ( which was the only one for a long time) there is no problem with the bookmarks. Can anybody help me out?

    Hi,
    It sounds like some of the Safari preferences in that account have become corruot somehow. If you have never used Safari in the secondary account, try trashing the following files/folder in that account:
    /Users/SecondaryAccount/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    /Users/SecondaryAccount/Library/Safari/

  • Workgroup Manager - Computer accounts

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how in Workgroup Manager it find computers so that they can be added to computer groups? When I'm in Accounts --> Computer groups --> select a computer group --> Members --> Click "..." --> It displays a list of computers within my network but some would not show up.
    I'm trying to understand if Workgroup Manager uses Bonjour or IP protocols to find and list computers.
    I have forward and reverse lookup with dynamic updates working properly on a separate FreeBSD server but Workgroup Manager just shows a limited list of computers to add to computer groups.
    Can anyone help?

    I haven't looked into this very much, but it's always seemed to me that it was using Bonjour.

  • Problems associating device to Apple ID/user account on my mac

    Hiya,
    I'm trying to help a friend out by backing up her devices (iPad and iPhone) to my computer so I can update the OS on both.
    I had previously sync'd her iPad to my iTunes to back it up, but I then figured afterward it'd be better to create a new user account for her on my computer and sync everything that way, just to ensure that everything is in its right place. The problem that I've come up with is that the iTunes on her user account on my computer doesn't show her device. When I tried to deactivate the device on my user account on the computer, it talked about wiping the iPad which I absolutely do not want to do until I'm assured that it's all backed up first to her user account on my computer. She's had a friend previously who tried to back up her devices and lost everything, so I'm being extra careful to not fall down that path.
    I looked at other posts on the Apple support website — stuff about deactivating devices/accounts and all that — but they didn't mention anything about separate accounts on the same computer. I looked at my iTunes Store > Account > Manage Devices and it doesn't list her device, so I'm not sure why it's not letting me disassociate her iPad from my iTunes with the wiping condition. I figured it'd be something to do with sharing a device on multiple Apple IDs, but as far as I'm aware, I've only authorised my computer (or perhaps my Apple ID) permission to sync her device's contents to iTunes. I had hoped that a new user account would get around this as I'm now using her user account with her Apple ID, however no dice. The other annoyance is that she has no music, TV, movies, or books purchased on her Apple ID, only a few apps.
    So now I've some how gotten to the point in which I have "transferred" her iPad to iTunes on her user account/Apple ID on my computer and it's got some 90-day timer thing — I have no idea what the **** that's there for since it hasn't been linked to my Apple ID (that I know of), just only authorised on my account/computer.
    It's quite confusing and rather daunting. I feel I'm faced with a precarious situation: wipe her iPad and hope that the back-up on my account's iTunes will work correctly; or wait 90 days (why?) to then be able to properly sync her iPad to my computer, by that time I will have left France and can't help her then.
    If anyone could please shed some light on my dark position, I would be rather grateful!

    It might be too late in terms of time and what has happened with the 90 day lockout problem, but you should be able to create another user account for her on your computer so she can have her own iTunes library. This provide some insight as to how you can do that.
    How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer
    The 90 day lockout occurs when you associate an iOS device with another Apple ID when you download a past purchase using the second ID. This is Apple's way of preventing users's from downloading each other's paid content for free. There is absolutely no way to overcome the 90 day lockout. You just have to wait it out before the device can be associated with another Apple ID.
    This is a great user tip that explains how to transfer the contents of an iOS device into a new iTunes library to create a new syncing library for a user. It might prove to be helpful to you.

  • Same Account on Multiple Macs?

    I am setting up a new Mac Mini to be used primarily as the "accounting computer". But it will also serve as a backup computer for the 3 users on my main Mac Pro when multiple users want on at the same time. So how do I handle the set-up of the new Mini? Should I create 3 identical users, with their same login names & passwords, on the 2nd Mac? i.e. So when I need to get on to check email, but my main puter is in use by another user, I can jump on the Mini & have updated access to my email??? Secondly, how do I keep Mail, Calendar, etc in sync on both machines?

    My best suggestion would be to set your people up on one of the computers and have then share their home directories with password protection. You may want to do this on whichever system has more hard drive space. Then set them up again on the alternate system and make sure that they can connect to the main system to access their home directories. If you can train and/or convince your users to keep all of their files on the home directory space that resides on the main system, it could work.
    This is more along the lines of what I had in mind. The use on the alt computer will only be to do a quick email check... I am in the process of setting all email accounts up as IMAPs... or internet surfing, etc. Any tasks that involve files from the main box will have to be accessed through sharing, then saved back to their account on that main puter... and this will be on occasion at most. And now that I've said all this, I can think of several instances where I've needed to interrupt someone because I needed to check my calendar... have yet to use iSync - does something like this allow me to sync my iCal to another computer?
    So how should I handle the users on the 2nd Mac? Should I set up all the accounts there too... even if it might be for occasional use? And if I'm setting up individual accts, can I set up accts with the same login names & PW's on multiple Macs that are networked, without issue?
    It just dawned on me that if someone is surfing the internet on the alt box, they might need their favs over there... although I'm the only user w/an extensive favs list. Truth be told, my network is a home business network. So far, the only other users on the main Mac are my kids... the network serves for home biz/personal tasks. One of my kids is a college student who uses the computer for all basic tasks plus web design & Photoshopping. Point is, I'm just looking for the best, simple solution.

  • Can I move a purchase from one library to another as long as it's the same account?

    Can I move a purchase from one library to another as long as it's the same account?

    Yes. Just copy the purchase to the user account/computer and drag it into the iTunes window or use the Add to Library command. If iTunes isn't authorized to the iTunes Store account the purchase was made through, you'll just have to authorize that system.

    hello, firefox 29 and upwards is using a different sync system which isn't compatible with accounts set-up in older versions.
    in this case you'd probably have to use a workaround and download the prior firefox 28 version, disable automatic updating for the moment (in options > advanced > update), link it to the old sync account (with username, password & recovery key) and upgrade after you have successfully restored your data this way...
