In my household we have multiple users with different apple id's on one computer. Can we just change the login to sync our devices to the computer?

We have multiple apple id's for each member of the family and we all use one computer. Will this cause problems when we all want to sync to the computer, after we authorize each apple id to the computer?

Each user should have a separate user account on the computer. That will result in each user having a unique iTunes library and as long as each person logs into the computer with their own account, it will avoid unintentional cross synching and deletion of data.

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

    When I tried, it said I had to have 10.6 or later............how do I get there?

    No. You need to phone the online Apple Store and order Mac OS X 10.6 on DVD.

    Whatsapp uses your mobile phone number, not your Apple ID. So you can use it on 3 phones, but each phone will be a different "person" on whatsapp's network.

  • How do you update software when there are multiple users with different (unknown) apple ID's?

    We are a college with different users borrowing 'loaner' Macbooks.
    several users with different ID's have installed software that is now tied to that Machines serial number, and cannot be updated or removed apparently. We are trying to update iPhoto for use with iBook author, but it was installed by an unknown user and cannot be removed.

    The only practical solution is to wipe and re-provision the units when they're returned.

  • Can Apple TV play content purchased with two different Apple IDs (but on one computer)?

    I have one iMac with content in my iTunes from two different Apple IDs. All of this content is perfectly accessible on my computer. Before I ran the most recent software upgrade on my Apple TV 2, I was able to access all of this content (from both Apple IDs) through Home Sharing. Now it shows me all of the content, but skips over any of the songs that were purchased with one of the Apple IDs. It doesn't show an error message--it just won't play the songs. Is there any way around this? I haven't seen a thread that directly relates to this--most threads I have seen discuss two separate computers, each with different Apple IDs. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I've tried everything..unplugging and re-setting the Apple TV, restoring to factory settings and starting over...nothing seems to work. I'm not sure why the software upgrade would have affected it, but that's what triggered this problem. It doesn't seem right that if it's accessible on my computer and it's all music purchased by me, that it's not all accessible on my Apple TV!

  • Multiple users with different Ipods on same computer

    My household has one general computer that is used by myself and my two teenage daughters. We don't use separate logins because it is used mostly to just go online, check our email, and use Itunes along with updating our Ipods. This works fine for us except that we have different Ipods. My girls have the Ipod Mini's and I have the Ipod (with video screen).
    My question is this: Can one computer (running WinXPProSp2)authorize two different Ipods under the same user name? Also, can two (or three) different Ipods be "authorized" on the same computer?

    Yes, your not really authorizing ipods, you just authorize a PC to play songs you buy from iTUnes. Once its authorized all ipods can play the song that connect to it.
    You can separate the music that is loaded to each iPod (Like your music only added to your ipod and your girls ipods only updating there music to there ipods) By creating your own playlist and setting the ipod to update them. This is covered more here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432

  • How do I set up multiple users with different configurations

    I have a Mac Pro that is shared by multiple users. Some edit using Avid Media Composer 6.0, and some edit using Final Cut Pro 7. Our client monitor is connected using a Matrox MX02 Mini. When I install the latest drivers for the Matrox MX02, I can use the client monitor with Media Composer, but not Final Cut Pro 7. When I back-rev the drivers to support Final Cut Pro 7, I can't use the MX02 in Media Composer.
    Is there a way to set up two users -- one for Avid editing and one for Final Cut editing -- that will each load different sets of drivers?
    Thanks!

    Not in one boot system. The only way I can think of doing what you want is to dual-boot - ie, either partition a single drive with two volumes, one for each configuration, or, if you can, use separate physical drives. The Matrox drivers are loaded at the system level, not the user level.
    If you have a spare drive, you would just clone your system across using Carbon Copy Cloner / SuperDuper, then boot to the second system and adjust the drivers as necessary.

  • PDF for multiple users with different values

    I have Enterprise EchoSign and FormsCentral.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Thanks for asking, but FormsCentral currently does not support this.

  • I have multiple computers with different itunes libraries, I dont want lion to share these libraries

    I am upgrading to lion,
    I have multiple laptops and ipads, however I want to keep my itune music libraries separate.

    Yes.  By enabling iTunes Match on each computer, each library will be scanned and the Songs will be Matched or Uploaded to the cloud.

  • Multiple User with different Password

    Hii
    I am looking for a router which has the best range and allow multiple users to connect to the router using their own different passwords, and further it may allow the admin to manage the Bandwidth and data of each user.

    Hi, dxtariq. What I know is that Linksys routers can allow you to create three (3) different passwords. This is applicable if the wireless router you have is a dual band. This means, you can create each 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz wireless name and password plus there's an additional connection to the guest. You can create a different password for your guest access.  To learn more about Linksys you may also visit their site: support.linksys.com

  • Can the RV180W have multiple SSIDs with different security configurations?

    I am trying to configure the RV180W with a guest network and regular wireless network. The regular wireless network is just a bridge to the wired network, using WPA2-Pers for authentication. I built and enabled another wireless SSID, using a different VLAN and no authentication. I can get both SSIDs to function at the same time if I turn off security. Once I turn on Security, the regular one no longer functions.

    It is actually all in the manual:
    SEE: PDF MANUAL
    Page 63 of PDF and onwards
    Do note that you need to assign multiple VLAN per SSID. Check the manual it is there :D
    and based on the manual you need to enable multiple VLAN support: See page 34 of the manual: Configuring Virtual LAN (VLAN) Membership

  • Loading Apps and PDFs to multiple iPads with different Apple IDs

    Hello,
    We are deploying 200+ iPads to our business and we are configuring each of the devices individually on-sight. We have received each employee's Apple ID and password for these corporate devices.
    We want to load 7 free apps to each iPad and a variety of PDFs to iBooks before we deploy the devices. We have experimented with Apple Configurator for the Apps and iTunes for the PDFs and run into a few problems.
    Apps:
    When we loaded these 7 free apps using Apple Configurator from a Macbook Pro to an iPad with a different Apple ID, we had no problem. The iPad user was able to download other apps using their own Apple ID without any issues. The problem came when we tried to update these originally loaded apps. When the user is prompted to update, the Macbook Pro user's Apple ID showed up with the update and there was no way to get around that even though the device was logged into the iPad owner's Apple ID in the settings.
    Is there a way to push multiple apps from one device to another without have two different Apple IDs sitting on the one device?
    PDFs:
    A similar problem happened with iTunes and iBooks. When we pushed PDFs from the Macbook owner's iTunes to the iPad, there was no problem. When the iPad user tried to upload some of her own PDFs from her Apple ID in iTunes, the originally loaded PDFs were wiped.
    Is there a way for both sets of PDFs to stay on the device in iBooks without either getting wiped?

    I don't really have any solutions other than uploading the files to cloud storage such as drop box, google, or skydrive and then sharing them to all the users.
