2 Ipods - 1 Computer - Names and Accounts ?

I have an ipod that I had an Itunes account with and have had no problems.
My son just received an ipod. He had hooked his Ipod into the computer using my itunes account. All the songs I had -got into his ipod. He then proceeded to download more songs off of Itunes. But then I had problems when I plugged mine in. So I think he would need his own account.
I've been looking through the forums and realized he just has to sign in on his user screenname. Makes sense. So we did and got an account set up.
However, when I plugged his ipod in it showed up using my name? Also it says that his Ipod is synced with a different users library (which would be mine). It says it will have to erase everything in his Ipod.
I know if I erase everything then he starts using his account it would work. However, how do I get the songs that he downloaded on my user name to his user name?? Also if we go ahead and erase his Ipod and plug it in will his username be correct or will it still be under my name??
If someone has a idea or solution please let me know. I'm not really great with computers so If I could get step by step directions I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks

I have the same probelem you listed, though I have 3 i-pods.
Were you able to have problem solved? If you did, could you pass it along? I am going nuts over the fact that we all like similar music, but don't want all of each others libraries.
Your help is most appreciated.

What's the difference between "Full Name" and "Account Name"

Just re-install a new OS X Lion. On the "Create Your Computer Account" screen, what's the difference between "Full Name" and "Account Name"?

Your computer name by default would be "John David Appleseed's Macbook Pro"
But you can always change that in System Preferences->Sharing
And yes, the first account you set up will be an administrator.

SharePoint 2010 Web Analytics showing user Display Name and Account Name from the same user

Hi!
Since July, 16th 2012 the Web Analytics Daily Unique Visitors reports started to show almost the double of visitors we used to have on our Web Application. Here are some of the data (I intentionally deleted the weekend data):
10/7/2012 2.497
11/7/2012 2.723
12/7/2012 2.722
13/7/2012 2.699
16/7/2012 5.055
17/7/2012 4.963
18/7/2012 4.954
19/7/2012 4.998
20/7/2012 4.965
23/7/2012 5.117
24/7/2012 5.012
25/7/2012 5.071
As you may notice the data jumped from around 2.700 unique visitors to around 5.000 unique visitors. As the number of permissioned users remains constant it is pretty odd. I also checked the Number of Page Views report and see no change on its behavior.
The number of page views remained constant.
So I went to look the Top Visitors report and understand why the visitors number almost doubled. The analytics started to count the users Display Name and Account name as two different visitors with a different number of page views. Let me show you an example
from yesterday (July, 25th) Top Visitors report:
#    Visitor                  Page Views   %
1   Cinthia XXXXXXXXXX    359      0,55%
5   Giselle XXXXXXXXXX     143        0,22%
7    Aline XXXXXXXXXX       138        0,21%
15 nt\cmazevedo              111        0,17%
60 nt\gbsantana                 69        0,11%
73 nt\aglsiqueira                 65      0,10%
"Cinthia" and the account "nt\cmazevedo" are the same person. The same is applied to "Giselle" / "nt\gbsantana" and "Aline" / "nt\aglsiqueira".
As I stated this is an example from July, 25th. If I checked the same report from a period before July, 16th I can only see the users Display Name as "Visitors". No account name is displayed or counted as a different visitor.
About the environment:
We have two SharePoint 2010 farms: a "corporate" and a "enterprise". The corporate farm contains four web servers and a central administration servers with publishing services. The enterprise farm contains two servers running User Profile Services, Search
Services and some others. Our main version is the SP1 with June/2011 Cumulative Update with a few more hotfixes applied.
This behavior on analytics is affecting all web applications (we have more than 20) installed on this farm and my company Support team said that no change were made on SharePoint on the weekend the problem started.
Does anyone have any tip about what is going on?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, Manas!
First of all thanks for your interest on this issue but I don't think it is related to the User Profile or the Active Directory.
I checked both records and there was no change on the Display Names. All the users have "full names" as display names (first + middle + last name) and not logins as SharePoint is displaying on this report.
But I did a test yesterday and checked the results today confirming that just the access been made using a specific server are causing this. Explaining it better:
I have four web servers on my farm named from P01 to P04. Then I created this test script:
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P01.
Step 2: Access site "A"
Step 3: Access site "B"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P02.
Step 2: Access site "C"
Step 3: Access site "D"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P03.
Step 2: Access site "E"
Step 3: Access site "F"
Step 4: Close the browser.
Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P04.
Step 2: Access site "G"
Step 3: Access site "H"
Step 4: Close the browser.
I asked three users to execute that script. The results: All access to the sites "C" and "D" were registered on Web Analytics with the user account name such as "nt\cmazevedo". All the other sites registered the user Display Name correctly such as "Cinthia
XXXXXXXXXX".
With this test we could isolate the problem just on the server P02. It doesn't occur on the others. Now my support team is trying to find any configuration difference between this server and the other three that could point for the root cause.
I am also looking for some information regarding the service responsible for this task ("transform the account name into a display name") to understand why it doesn't work on one server and works on the others.
Thanks!

Error code -42408. I downloaded a newer version of iTunes, 10.7. Now it will not let me purchase anything. How do I fix? I have edited and revised all my names and account settings, checked payment. Quit, restarted. Help

I downloaded a newer version of iTunes, 10.7. Now it will not let me purchase anything. I get an error code -42408. What does this mean and how do I fix? I have edited and revised all my names and account settings, checked payment. Quit, restarted. Help please, I'm going crazy without my iTunes. I'm on a MacBook Pro.

Found this item it may help
OK, I have fixed it here. Here's what I did:
quit iTunes
trashed ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
started iTunes, and authorised my account
Worked straight away after that !

Computer Name and Sleep

I have been able to let my iMac go to sleep in recent days, but it causes a new problem: Duplicate network name. There are no other computers on the network with the same name. There is a G4 Cube running 10.4 (which has never had this problem) and a Time Capsule. Right now its at -3 and presumably will increment to -4 the next time I wake it from sleep. How do I fix this?

I tried changing the computer name, and this resulted in the issue becoming intermittant. Not sure what to make of this, but ultimately I get the same error using different computer names.

SIU - Apply Computer Name and Local Hostname settings from a file

I am setting up a workflow to image corporate computers and wanting to know how the "Apply Computer Name and Local Hostname settings from a file" works in the Apply System Configuration Settings task.
We bind the computer to AD and OD and we have a specific naming convention for certain departments and trying to automate the entire imaging process.
Would this be something that can be done with SIU?

Well, maybe there's a bug in the latest version (10.5.3) of SIU as this is not what is happening.
It doesn't seem to matter what I specify for the name parameters I end up with a Bonjour name of ".local".
I put in a line of the form <Mac Address><TAB>tom<TAB>dick<TAB>harry into the text file used by the Apply System Configuration Settings Action.
and end up with hostname = tom, Computer Name = dick and Bonjour Name = .local
I'm building the NetInstall image on a new iMac running 10.5.3 booted out of a second partition and create the image from the main boot partition (also 10.5.3). I then copy the image to my server (10.5.3) and make a second iMac boot up from the NetInstall image.
For what it is worth the Workflow Actions I am using are:
Define Image Source
+ NetInstall
Source: Macintosh HD
Filter Clients by MAC Address
+ Allow
<List of MAC Addresses>
Enable Automated Installation
+ On Volume Named: Macintosh HD
+ Erase before installing
+ Primary Language: English
Apply System Configuration Settings
+ Apply Computer Name and Local Hostname settings from a file: <FILE>
Add Packages and Post-Install Scripts
+ Shell Script [Doesn't work - we're discussing in it in another thread]
Create Image
In: Public
Named: NetInstall Classroom
Volume Name: Classroom iMacs

Computer Name and Flurry only available Screen Savers

I've lost all the built in Apple Screen Savers except for Computer Name and Flurry. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I fix it? I looked in Computer > System > Library > Screen Savers and saw all of them there, but when I open up my System Prefs, they aren't listed. I tried repairing permissions but that didn't work. Any ideas?
Also, I have an iSight camera, and PhotoBooth is telling me my card isn't compatible, even though I used it one time when I first installed Leopard. Any clues on that one? I'm thinking this has something to do with one of the recent updates.

OK, so after not getting anywhere (not to mention growing tired of too much desktop) I disconnected my secondary monitor that was hooked via a VGA to DVI connector to my ATI X1900 XT card, and now all the screen savers are back. Looks like it just didn't like having the connector.

Difficulty changing computer name and domain name

I have a working Xserve with the latest Snow Leopard Server and am having difficulty reconfiguring it from its keyboard.
I would like to edit the computer name and domain name and maintain all other server settings. I would prefer to do this off-line. However Server Admin appears not to work off-line and any attempt to change computer name or domain name removes all server settings from view including the serial number. I can recover everything by reinstating computer name etc and restarting on-line.
Is the serial number tied to the computer name and/or domain name?
Is there any way to retain my existing server settings for a different domain?
Is there any way to progress any of this off-line?

This has now been resolved. This note is to assist others who have the same problem.
1 - I had been changing the computer name in the place I had always done it - System Preferences/Sharing. This confused Server Admin. Reverting to the original name and changing computer name and location within Server Admin resolved the issue. That is System Preferences/Sharing is updated by Server Admin but not vice versa.
2 - Playing with these things can corrupt Server Admin plist resulting in a restarted Server Admin not seeing the edited server even with the server otherwise fully functioning. Trashing Server Admin plist resolved this for me without loss of server settings.
3 - Having set it up off-line I experienced difficulty as soon as I went on-line. This was resolved by changing the server from 'local' to its full domain name. I have no explanation for this as the same settings had previously worked with 'local'.
4 - Server Admin can take a long time to find settings and occasionally failed to do so until after a restart.
The result can be seen here: http://links.open.ac.uk/ - Since Apache refuse to provide hit counter support (there are several public posts of mine on the subject) I use JavaScript to retrieve the count from an old QPQ server running on a G3 with OS 9.

Yosemite profile manager shortening computer names and serials

If I prepare a placeholder in Yosemite profile manager, it shortens computer names and serials.
I've added and removed the placeholder and the names and serials are getting smaller, to a point they are only one letter long now.
Somehow, it suspect may be linked to the form fill feature but even if I try to type all, the placeholder names and serials shorten every time.
Ever seen or solved that?
François.

I cleared Safari Form Filling in Safari > Preferences > Auto Fill > Other Forms, selected example.com, clear button and closed preferences.
I went back to profile Manager, create the place holder again and all is good now.

When I use migration assistant it won't let me use my account name that I'm signed in with. It requires me to select a different user name and then creates a separate account where my files live. Why can't I select the user name and account name I have?

I'm trying to migrate my music and pictures over to my new iMac. When I use the migration assistant it connects to my PC fine but it won't let me use the account name and username that I have created as the admin. It requires me to create a new user account - so then I have two separate accounts to log in to which i don't want. How do I get it to let me use the current account that I have to move my files to?
Thanks!

Migration Assistant creates a new account and migrates all the information you have requested to that new account. There is no way around that. However once migrated you can move the data to the account you want to. Here are some instructions for doing so:

Computer name and local hostname not recognized at startup

I've been having trouble syncing with .mac lately. (This isn't syncing question.) Looking at my console and system logs, it would appear that my computer and network connection have a problem right from the start (except that I can connect to the Internet and can send and receive mail no problem). But I think the logs below indicate that there's some disconnect because later on, when I try to sync or do something with iDisk, "Failed to register NSConnection" and SFIDiskMirrorCopyPair returned NULL" appear in the console log. Here's some of what the logs showed. I was wondering if anyone out there can make heads or tails out of it. Wondering if I'll have to blow it up and do an archive and install.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks, Bill

Thank you for helping me. My computer is very old and it gets a lot of non-taxing use, like email and word processing. I'm trying to get another year out of it before I replace it. I first had to reset the PRAM because I had full-on freeze a couple of months ago. I couldn't get the computer to respond at all. Apple Support helped. They had me reset the PRAM, but the reason I've been resetting it now and again is that it seemed to fix a problem I was having with audio. When I am using Skype, Facetime or Gchat there was a crackling sound so loud, I'd have to hang up. Resetting the PRAM seemed to take care of this. I read around a little on the Internet. There was some suggestion that maybe my logic board is failing, at which point I would really have to replace my computer. But I was hoping for some pointers about this keyboard. I spent a couple of days reading and didn't find anyone having quite my problem. I guess it wouldn't really be such a problem if I didn't have this audio problem as well.

How to get back my workspace name and account?

I cannot recall workspace name and user account information when loging in to the apex.How to find back these information? Please give your hand. thanks.

1. Please tell us your first name.
2. Go to the login page of the Application Express host where you created an account. See the Tasks region in the upper-right section of the page. Click the Find My Workspace link. Complete and submit the form. Wait for an email. If you don't know the email address you used, telephone or email the administrator of the Application Express service where you created the account.
