Can I use two Windows User Accounts simultaneously?

Hi
I use my pc for two businesses. Presently I have two user accounts that I have to switch bewteen by logging off each time - disconnecting my broadband.
Is it possible to run the two accounts simultaneously?

Hi Grant,
You can use the Windows shortcut to have two or more user account active at the same time. The short cut for this is to press and hold the 'Windows' key on your keyboard and also press the 'L' key. This will then cause the Windows log-on screen to be displayed but without logging off the first user account.
regards,

    1. Give her a separate user account on your computer. If you have a backup copy of the library, you can restore it.
    2. If you encounter a 90-day waiting period, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll remove it.

  • Sharing one "Email account" between two Windows "user account" in a "Global Inbox"

    Context: Two "windows user accounts" on a Windows XP PC, having the same email address. The "Local folder" is placed on a "All users" directory and acounts settings specify a POP server with a retention period of 30 days.
    Problem: When User B ask for reception of messages, he received all messages already read by user B. (this probably due to separate popstate.dat).
    On a previous PC two years ago, we do not had this dupplicate reading.
    If you have a solution, could you also cover the Windows 7 case.

    I strongly suggest you get the whole profile in the same folder hierarchy before you even consider moving to windows 7.
    Windows XP has Program File
    Windows 7 has Program Files and Program Files (X86) your executable goes in the x86 one.
    XP has applications data
    Windows 7 has appdata
    In windows XP Thunderbird's profile is in application data in windows 7 it is in appdata/roaming
    If you open explorer the old locations appear to be there, but they will not work to locate Thunderbird's disparate parts of it's profile
    And so the list goes on. Hence none of the locations you know will probably exist under windows 7 so if parts of the profile are pointing to locations that have changed, only grief awaits you.

    Can I use two Apple ID account in one device. Are there irregularities

    You can use one ID for iTunes/iTunes Match, and another for iCloud, without any problems. You can add a secondary iCloud account in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, contacts and Calendars. Its data will appear alongside the main iCloud account though you cannot use PhotoStream with it.

  • Can I use the same user accounts for both Lion & SL?

    I have one Mac that I can upgrade to Lion but it is the one that the entire family uses every day (I only can use it (and administer it) on weekends), so I have to make sure that there are no problems and no issues so my plan is to:
    Move all of the users accounts to a different drive.
    Configure 10.6.8 (SL) to use the user accounts on the different drive.
    Back up SL to a bootable drive.
    Repartition the Mac for a SL & Lion partition.
    Reconstitute SL on both partitions.
    Upgrade one SL partition to Lion.
    I should now have a partition for SL and Lion that both use the same users accounts so when I (and then my family) are comfortable with Lion, the switch will be transparent.
    Any problems that I am unaware of (and how to remediate it)?
    TIA.

    There are a few discussions here on the topic that I was planning to employ:
    Moving Home folder to different HDD From Mac OSX Snow Leopard via Terminal?
    Moving some Users to different volume
    How do you move a user account to a different drive?
    Another way of doing it is to move the directory, and then alter the user's home directory using the NetInfo utility (Tiger) or Directory Utility (Leopard). In both, you can change the user's home directory from the command line in Terminal.app like so:
    $ sudo dscl . -create /Users/user NFSHomeDirectory /Volumes/volname+/+user
    In the SL System Preferences -> Accounts one can select a user's account, right click and choose Advance Options presents the screen below. This is how I intend to point each OS to the same user account on an external HDD.
    Does that answer your question?
    TIA.

    Can i use two internet bank acounts on my ipad

    I use several bank accounts on my iPad. If there are apps for your particular banks it makes to pretty easy to do. It just depends on what you want to do and if the apps will do what you want them to do.
    If you strictly using a browser, as long as the banks have a mobile site, you should be fine.

  • How Can I Login To Multiple User Accounts Simultaneously

    I am using an Intel iMac (2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) with 1GB of memory and 10.4.11. I have Fast User Switching enabled. I restart the Mac every morning. Then I login to a second user account. While at work, I access these accounts via VNC.
    Sometimes I forget to login to the second user account. I do it from work via VNC, which sometimes causes complications.
    Does OSX support simultaneous multiple user account login? If not, is there a work-around solution such as an AppleScript? This would provide a time savings to me, as well as a convenience if I forgot to login to the second user account before leaving home.
    Thank you.
    Kurt R. Todoroff

    Seems to me, in another discussion, the simple Fast User Switching does not
    do much really fast or automatically; there are a few faster steps than having
    to log into each and every account change (even when FUS is enabled) so
    this later development sounds a little more automatic, esp over a distance.
    Is there a third party app or valid script that an do the multiple logins automatic
    after the first-run; so passwords need not be re-entered, and the screen can just
    switch over "fast" to another open account window, ready to go to work in there?
    {And not just a keyboard shortcut to save a few little steps, overall.}
    Whichever way the road turns...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can you use two different iTunes accounts in Apple TV

    My wife and I have our own iTunes accounts which we use on our separate iPhones, but on the same Macbook. Can we use these separate accounts on Apple TV. Not at the same time of course.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    How do you run your two separate accounts.
    If they are part of the same library then you can access content from both iTunes accounts at the same time.
    If they are different libraries in the same user account and you switch them then you can access content from whichever library is active at the time.
    If you have two user accounts you can access both libraries at the same time providing both user accounts are running and iTunes is open in each (this option is mac only)

  • Can I use two different iTunes accounts on one computer without using Family sharing

    So my wife made the mistake of logging into her iTunes account on my computer to purchase some music and she also (without knowing what she was doing) turned on family sharing at some point.
    This is irritating for multiple reasons:
    Now I have hundreds of artists added to my iTunes match, all of who I care nothing about and don't want the clutter in my artist list, but I can't figure out how to permanently delete them off of my account. Also, now if I login to my account on iTunes I can't play any of my music for 90 days.
    Is there ANY way for me to re-organize my music, delete her junk, and get myself back to where I can play my purchased music on my iTunes account? Any time I try to organize or delete her music it shows back up next time I open it.
    I almost feel like I need to download all of my music off of the cloud, delete my iTunes account, and then open another one AFTER organizing my music while offline and then enable match again. Everything is so cluttered and frustrating. Looking for some advice.

    1. Give her a separate user account on your computer. If you have a backup copy of the library, you can restore it.
    2. If you encounter a 90-day waiting period, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll remove it.

  • Can I use two different iTunes accounts for one iPhone?

    I have a UK iTunes account but am currently living in Qatar and for banking reasons wish to make purchases using a Qatar credit card only.  For some idiotic reason Apple will not allow me to do this.  If I have to open a new account to use my Qatar credit card can I sync music purchased to my iPhone without it deleting my music from my UK iTunes account when I sync?  I've no faith at all in iTunes and don't know why they always seem to make it difficult to just spend my money with them.
    Any help gratefully received.
    Many thanks

    Im pretty sure you can have more than one itunes account on your iPhone, might have to sign out of one in order to use the other(for downloading app or music probably). Although if you only mean to transfer your purchases from one account to another then I wouldn't have an answer, but most likely you can sync what you have on you're pc to you're iPhone since it has already synced with that computer previously.
    Hope this somehow helps

    I have several Apple products and long ago set up two separate Apple accounts by accident.  Now I want to merge the two into one, but be sure not to loose any pictures, etc. that may be stored with one or the other.  Is there a way to do this?

  • Can i use two icloud email accounts in outlook2007

    My wife an I both have icloud email addresses which we would like to be able to send/ receive in Outlook 2007 (as well as on our iPhones).
    I have been using my own icloud email on Outlook 2007 without any problem but since she got her own iPhone and icloud account/ email address I have been unable to find a way to add hers to Outlook. Is this not possible or can somebocy tell me how to do it please?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Absolutely. Although you can only have one primary iCloud account, you'll need to add secondary accounts from system preferences > mail, contacts & calendars.

  • How can I use two analog output channels simultaneously?

    I am using PCI6110 DAQ card. I want to run two separate VIs on one computer. Each VI output a waveform to one analog output channel. How can I do this simultaneously without interfering each other?
    Thanks

    Hi Stephen,
    This can NOT be done with two seperate VI's.
    The issue is in the hardware/driver.
    Your hardware has a clock that controls how fast updates to the AO occur. That clock can only have one value at a time. I will let your contemplate the complications that come up with two different clock settings being active at the same time (see below).
    So how do you work around this complication?
    You will have to develop a single VI that OWNs both output channels. That VI will have to accept start,stop,configure, etc commands from the two clients (what you will have to convert your existing VI's into). If you decide to place a restriction on the services you provide to the clients along the line of "only one sample rate at a time" you will be making your li
    fe much easier.
    If I was contracted by a customer to do what you have asked, I would try to combine the two existing VI's into one or simply buy a second 6110 and avoid all of the hassles. Both of these approaches would end up saving the customer money in the long run while freeing them of any restrictions that where established in order to develop the "server".
    I hope this helps,
