2 ipods, 1 machine, 2 user accounts. Can I LOCK each ipod to a user?

I've got an iPod classic, my GF has the nano. We both have separate user accounts on the same machine. The problem I'm running into is sometimes she has itunes open in her account in the background. I log into my account and plug in my ipod and it mounts to her account and my itunes tell me another user account is using my ipod. I can't sync until I open up her account and close itunes, and then reconnect the ipod. Sometime it happens the other way, she can't access her ipod if my itunes is open in the background because it opens up in my account. Is there a way to lock each ipod to each use so this wont happen? It's a pain to have to open the other account to shut itunes down.

I have the same problem except 3 nanos and 3 user accounts. It's a real pain because I never know witch account to look in.

If my husband and I both have iphone 5's with seperate icloud accounts can we track each other using find my iphone?

Sure, all you need is Find My iPhone app. When using it, just sign in using your husband's ID, not yours. You'll be able to track his device. I do that with my wife when she's on a long trip.

We have 6 ipods and 1 iphone in our house. We have different itunes accounts. We use one computer. How can we share each others music? I moved everybodies itunes media folder to the public folder but when I open itunes I only see that accounts music.

We share 1 computer but we have different user accounts on the computer.

Adding media directly to the media folder does not make it appear in the library. iTunes doesn't really 'look' at that folder except to go to specific files when you call upon them from a library. You have to drag new content to each user's library, that is assuming each user has their own library.

ITunes accounts can be accessed under one User but not a second User.

Hi
I'm having problems setting up iTunes on a new PC I've recently purchased. On my old PC - (Vista), myself (David) and my wife (Chris) had different Windows Users accounts, both with separate iTunes accounts which we could access with no problems.
On my new Pc (Windows 7) I have downloaded iTunes and can access my iTunes account with my ID and password when the PC is logged in as 'David' as the User, as can my wife BUT when the PC the PC is logged in as my wife as the User 'Chris' neither of us can access our iTunes account with our relative ID and passwords. We get the message.. "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.".
I have seen this sentence on Google and on various forums including this one but cannot find a solution which fits my problem which is our iTunes accounts can be accessed when the PC is logged in under one User but not a second User.
Has anyone have ideas to attempt to resolve this issue?
Thank you

Yes
Put all the music on one computer, make sure it is authorized for all accounts, sync.

If I have an ipod touch and an itunes account, can i get a shuffle and transfer songs i have onto it?

If I have a Mac computer and have an itunes account, can I download songs onto an iPod shuffle if I already have an iPod touch? If so, how do I do that? I'd like to get an iPod shuffle for when I work out. Thanks for your help!

Yes.
Connect the shuffle to your Mac, launch iTunes.
From the iTunes menu bar click File > Sync iPod
If the music stored on the iPod touch you will need to transfer iTunes purchases to the Mac first then sync the shuffle.

Automatic downloads only works with one Mac user account, can I get help?

I have three user accounts on my iMac, and I set up iTunes Automatic downloading on my iTunes account on my iMac user account. Then I went to set up my brothers iTunes automatic download on his iMac user account but it said the computer was already in use, and gave me options like transfer or cancel. Just to clarify this was an attempt with one iMac two user accounts and two separate iTunes accounts.

It appears we are all having the same issue, and for themost part talking about the same thing, but to reiterate:
1) One (1) computer, to help distinguish the devices letscall it an iMac
2) Two (2) or more distinct User ID’s on said iMac with fullAdmin permissions
3) Each distinct User ID on the iMac has a distinct Apple IDwith an associated iTunes and iCloud account
4) For every User ID / Apple ID there is a separate personwith their own iDevice
5) None of the iTunes accounts, iDevices or Apple ID’s arecross sync’d
5) (a) Forexample, Person 1 does not share apps, etc. with Person 2’s iTunes account. Weare assuming everyone distinct Apple ID / iDevice buys its own App’s, musicetc.
6) Only one (1) of the iMac User ID’s and that User ID’sassociated iTunes and iCloud account can have auto-download and iCloud servicesactivated at any one time.
6) (a) Just to be redundantly clear,that means that every other User ID / iTunes – iCloud ID/ iDevice CANNOTauto-download or sync to iCloud
Somewhat reformed PC guy here (wife is a life long Macuser), but all I can say is are you (*&^%$%^&* kidding me?
If I wanted these problems, and didn’t care about aestheticsor battery life, I would have stuck with Win-crap / Android for 50% or less ofthe cost.
Besides my preference for the Win-Devil UI (I know, I know…)I cannot believe after spending more than $4,500 on iFleecing this summer I amstill having issues like this (Mac Air, iMac, iPhone 4- two and the buy-out oftwo cell contracts).
Granted, when I plug something in, it works… the way Stevethinks I should want it to function.
In the hopes of avoiding some iFlogging by my fellow usershere, I concede the superiority, in every conceivable way, of all of thehardware and even like the MS Office suite in Mac better (at least not less). Ihave no intention of going back to the Win-Devil (don’t even run an emulator oneither computer), but this is a Windows-like screw-up.

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:

Login failed for user 'MgmtSvc-AdminAPI' because the account is currently locked out.

We are getting the following error on our SMA web service machine in the mgmtsvc-adminapi log file.   Im guessing I could have also posted this in the WAP forum.     Any ideas on what would cause this?
Also, we noticed the connection strings in the adminapi site are encrypted as well so not sure what the credentials are that WAP adminapi is using.

Just had this error happen again.   THis is the account that microsoft configured during the WAP portal install.   The connection strings in the web.config for the adminapi site is encrypted so you cant see the credentials.
The WAP install didnt create local computer user but does create SQL Auth user with the name of MgmtSvc-AdminAPI

I can't login because my account has been locked

Good morning! I used my account more than 3 years.And i have lots of apps and musics on my account I'm of your company I have iPhone iPad and iPod. And today, i can't sign in to my account. When i sign in to my account, I have message: "you can not login because your account has been locked" Why i can't connect my account? I have just back to my home durning the vacation. And my friend used my computer.My apple ID:**************@gmail.com
please help me as soon as you can thank you so much

For info we are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iOS device by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support and see if they can/will unlock it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
