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.

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!

    The iPad mini is basically a one user device. There are no Accounts. You can set up restrictions so that only you can do certain things.

    Of course.
    And instructions can depend on which OS X is installed.
    For v10.7 Lion > OS X Lion: Create a new user account

    i use migrate assistant to move files from my old pc to the new Mac , but it creates the user account. How can i delete the unwanted user account.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    That's the classic behaviour after using Migration Assistant and that's normal.
    To transfer the data from the new user account to your old user account, you can follow some steps. Here is all the information you need to do this > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472

  • Login with Multiple User Accounts From One Machine

    We have users with multiple accounts (Admin and Standard) in our organization and we want them to be able to launch RemoteApps from RDWeb using both accounts at the same time (from a single workstation).  For example we would want their standard account
    to launch the RemoteApp HEAT and their admin account to launch the RemoteApp Exchange Management Console.  Is this possible?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not talking about concurrent sessions for a single user - I'm talking about multiple user accounts being used from an individual machine at the same time.  The situation would be as follows:
    I log on to the computer with my normal user account (lets call it NZiehnert)
    I launch an application from the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections shortcut in my start menu, which launches the application as NZiehnert
    I launch the RDWeb access portal and log on using a different account (lets call it NZiehnert.admin)
    I attempt to launch the same application from step 2 (or another application that runs from the same server) and instead of launching as NZiehnert.admin the application runs as NZiehnert
    Basically, we have administrative tools that we wish to put into our remote environment, but we also have tools that are used by the same users normal accounts.  So we need a way for those users to be able to access the applications as a different user
    - at one point I was able to generate this dialog, but I'm not sure how to recreate it:

  • How can I find my other user account migrated from another mac?

    I used time machine to backup all the data from my macbook and then I used the migration assistant on my imac and transfer those data to the imac.
    Everything was successful and after that. I can see the new user account under my hard drive > User folder but I dont have privilege to open the file.
    And on the other hand, I got no way to login that user ID.
    How can I fix that?
    thanks

    what do you mean? do you mean the migrated user doesn't show up at the login window? or that the password doesn't work?
    How can I fix that?

  • How can a family with multiple existing accounts use Home Sharing?

    I'd like to use the new Home Sharing feature, but it appears to be restricted to families in which all of the family members share a single user account.
    We already have separate accounts for each family member. Is there some way for us to use Home Sharing without abandoning most of our existing accounts, along with all of the purchases made by those accounts? I don't think anyone in this situation would be willing to do that.

    Eh. I am not too sure since I have not messed with it much but I do have a great deal of experience with multiple accounts. Each computer can be authorized for multiple accounts. As can iPods. iPods can sync songs/videos/apps from multiple accounts as long as the computer is authorized with them. What I have set up here, is I buy my stuff I want, my parents buy what they want and so do my brothers. When my bro gets something I want I just move it to my computer. That way all our accounts are separate, but if there is something I want I can get it. Also, since the music no longer has DRM, it won't matter. It will play on any computer. What you should see is if you can just do the shared library with multiple accounts. Then if you don't have videos or such, you can get apps or music. Hope this helps!

  • How can I retrieve my old user account?

    Hi,
    I migrated my old iMac to my new 27" iMac and did it wirelessly via the internet and it took ages. Apple support told me to do it this way because my old iMac is 400 Firewire and my new one only has 800 Firewire and I only had a 400 Firewire cord.
    I was told to choose the no I don't want to migrate when I went through registering my computer. I then got it set up with internet and then went into Migration Assistant. I told the woman I spoke too that it was going to create a problem with my old user account and she said I could just delete it.
    Here is my dilemma. My old user account is called Pink Tuley (which has all my information, documents etc. on it), I created a new account called Tuley and you guessed it it's a shell with nothing there. All my stuff in on Pink Tuley and when I go to MacintoshHD users and locate my Pink Tuley folder there are a bunch of folders that I can't open (they have that red circle with a white bar in the middle of them). How do I make Pink Tuley my main account or get all the Pink Tuley stuff onto my new Tuley account? I hope there is a way to figure this out.

    Niel,
    Thanks that was easy. Now can I go and delete the new user account I created when I first registered this computer? I have a few user accounts from my old machine I don't use, can I delete those also or is it best to leave them alone?

  • How to restrict login for multiple users having same Role

    Our Web Application is deployed on Tomcat 5.5
    The requirement is ?
    There are roles in application like "operator", "admin"?
    There are multiple users created for each of the above role.
    When one user of "operator" role is logged in, then
    It should not allow to login for another user of "operator" role.
    Also, if user did not log out & application gets close, then
    It should not allow to login for another user of "operator" role.
    Also, it should not allow to login for multiple requests of same user
    (using another browser instance...)
    Is it possible using session object?
    But, using session object, it will create separate objects for different users,
    So here I will not be able to restrict session object creation rolewise.
    Also, how to retrieve these multiple session objects created for different users on server?
    If anyone is having the solution please reply as soon as possible,
    Thank you.

    To tell you the truth, this is a stupid requirement. It must be an extremely fragile application.
    In any case, you will have to write your stuff for that. Probably a filter that on login, logout, and session expiration checks, makes, or removes entries in a DB (using a synchronized resource to prevent race conditions) or possibly even simply in an application context object.

  • Can I Do This - Multiple User Accounts, Same Apple Account?

    I'm wondering if I can do this - I just got a new pc for my wife and kids, each of whom have an ipod. They have been sharing a username and Apple.com account (the xxxx@yyyy id) on the old pc, each synching their ipods with no problems.
    On the new PC, which is Vista64 based, they will have their own user account. Can they still use the same Apple account, and share the same songs/Itunes library or will there be problems?
    If problems, any suggestions for my setup?
    Thanks in advance.

    That shouldn't be a problem at all, Bruce. Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for the general strategy and post back for any further details you may need.

  • How can I set up multiple email accounts in one folder in Thunderbird?

    Hello; first time poster here.
    I own a business that has several email accounts. I am trying to create a folder (titled my business name), then set up all of the email accounts for my business so they all are in that one folder. I have tried for two days to figure this out and can't seem to do it.
    I have been using Outlook, but it has too many whistles and bells and is way to slow, so I thought I'd give TB a try.
    Can anyone explain IF this is possible, and if so, how can I do it?
    Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
