Another user is using iPod Software.....

I'm trying to get more songs on my iPod and when I connect it and iTunes starts running a note pops up and says:
"Another user on this computer is using the iPod Software, so iTunes is unable to communicate with this iPod. Please ask the other user to log out." I checked and nobody else on the computer is using iTunes. Does anybody know what I am supposed to do or what this means? I cannot get anything about/on my iPod on iTunes... please help

Try restarting your computer.
This is NOT the kind of help that I find valuable. Restarting the machine is the
last thing I want to do! Is this a bug in the iTunes? Is it a sequence problem? i.e. should you plug in iPod, then start iTunes? Somebody has to have a better answer.

Ipod says another ipod user is using the software

I am trying to charge/import, but the message says another user is using the ipod software. I am the only ipod in my home that even uses the software. How can it be confused? What can I do?

try the following:
Close iTunes.
Open the Task Manager.
Select the Processes tab.
Find "iPodService.exe" and click it, then click the End Process button to close it.
Do the same for "iTunesHelper.exe".
Close the Task Manager.
Start iTunes

Can't connect to my itunes because the message states that another user is using my itunes when thi is not true.

I can not connect to my itunes account because the message states that another user in using the account and this is not true.

After a visit to the apple store, they were able to get through my pass code but unfortunately I found out that is was a problem with the logic board. Since Apple only wants to sell and not fix, I was able to locate an iphone repair near me that deals with logic boards and they are currently working on it right now. i should be getting it back soon. Im not sure if the problem you are experiencing is the same as i went through but it does sound like it may be also a hardware issue and would suggest searching online for an iphone repair place that can diagnose what exactly is wrong. Hope this helps.

Itunes says Another user is using the ipod software

When I connect my iPod which has only been owned for a week to my PC, it says that another user on the computer is connected to the Ipod software. This is incorrect. I have reset the IPod, but still cannot make the iPod talk to the PC. Help!!!

As Peeble said, Thomas & Ronnie, this sounds like "fast user switching" is enabled in XP. iTunes & fast user do not get along. See the following link for troubleshooting instructions.

How do I allow another user to use office for mac

I installed Office 365 while I was the only user but now I have added another user but they cannot access office, how do I give them permission?

Hi,
I have tried to recreate this myself, and your right even after changing ownerships and movie the iPhoto library to the public folder ( Harddrive/Users/Sharing) the second account is still not allowed to access the library. This is strange behaviour because moving the iTunes Music Library to Sharing does allow all users to access the library.
All I can suggest is that you deselect the option in iPhoto preferences (Advanced) to "copy files to iPhoto library" then store your photos in a folder that resides in the Harddrive/Users/Sharing folder - then your wife can use the import command to add them to her copy of iPhoto (she should also deselect the copy to library option)

How can I remove an account and apps from another user from my Ipod. My nephew used to live with me and everytime I sync my Ipod his stuff is added to mine. I have no way to contact him for his password.

I need to know how to remove an iTunes account associated with my computer. My nephew used to live with me but has moved out. Everytime I sync my iPod touch his stuff is added to my device. I have no way to contact him to get his password. How can I make this go away. He listened to music that is very offensive to me and I dont want it in my library or playlists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Shelly

You can use computer iTunes to help.
Connect your iPod Touch to Computer's iTunes
In iTunes, select your iPod Touch under DEVICES (left pane).
On right pane select Music at the top.
Now you can de-select the music/playlist or anything you don't want and click Sync button bottom right.
You can do the above for Apps, Books, etc.
You can of course, de-authorize the computer in iTunes menu Store.
Note: That will make everything using his AppleID inaccessible.

Error: Another User is using Itunes please ask them to log off.

I get this message, so none of my songs are on my ipod. I am positive that no other user on my computer is using Itunes. PLEASE HELP!

You obviousley have multiple accounts on your computer. One of these accounts is using iTunes. Check to see through task manager (CTRLALTDEL) That there isn't 2 iTunes tasks running. If so then end one of them.

Add shared calendar to another users account using powershell

Hi,
I am trying to add a calendar to another using account using powershell as it will be easier to make a script than logging in to each user and adding the calendar. Has anyone done this before or know how to do it.
Thanks

Are you asking about Outlook or about Exchange?
In Exchange you can likely do this via EWS.
Here is how to do this in Access but has to be done under user account:\

Under EWS it is similar but can be done by impersonation.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Labview reconfigutres itself when another user accout used

We have a system that runs TestStand 3.1 which calls LabVIEW vi.
We installed everything under the administrator password and everything
works fine there. These are both base run time
installations. We are ready to release to production except when
we run the application under another, non-administrative account, a
dialog box about LabVIEW configuring its run time engine pops up.
This may or may not be related to a problem where the remote execution
activex settings go hosed.
Does this sort of thing sound familiar to anybody?
thanks,
Chas

Recently, I had a similar experience when upgrading from LV7 to LV7.1.
My application was programmed in LV7, with the corresponding executable generated by LV7 application builder.
With only LV7 installed on the PC (Windows 2000), the .exe file would run fine from both administrator and user accounts.
Installed LV7.1 on this PC (in addition to LV7) and got message (1) every time I try to run my application as a regular user.
(Translated "Windows is configuring NI LabView 7.1. Please wait")
At this point, the installation/configuring routine seems to hang, the progress bar does not change at all. The Cancel Button won´t work either.
By terminating the "msi23.tmp" process using the task manager, the installation window is closed - however, it reappears some secons later and seems to hang again, this time in a "msi36.tmp" task. See screenshot (2) below. This could go on forever.
I could live with the fact that my LV7 applications do not work any longer - but to make things worse, this problem affects all LV7.1 .exes that I create, too. To run all executables as an adminstrator is a bad solution. Giving full access to c:\winnt and c:\program files\national instruments to every user did not help (this would not be my preferred solution either).
Any ideas as to what could cause the problem?

Multiple user accounts, multiple Ipods, One computer, One Itunes library

Here's my problem, I have my main music library on my Mac Mini (Intel 1.5 solo) its too big to fit on the hard drive with everything else, so I added a Mini pal drive. This has my music, photos and all the other junk I cant fit on the mini's hard drive. I want to create multiple accounts so my kids can each have their own, but we all have Ipods that we want connected to our own accounts. I want to keep all the music in one library, and share it accross all the accounts. I dont want to have to log on when my kids want a song from my library. Itunes dosent seam to like the library being on the seperate drive. Mabe I am just dooing something wrong.
Ps: I'm running Itunes 7.3 on all my machines

Apple really doesn't quite do multi-user well yet, at least as far as the iPod goes (IMHO.)
We've taken your approach. 3 users with iTunes for each pointing to a single library on an external storage device. That way there's no problem with having to go to other libraries to import (and not question about 'copying files'... big waste of space.)
Our problem is having multiple iPods plugged into the same machine. I'm about to buy one of the new models for wife and daughter, but I'm not sure how we all can be plugged in (as I'm sure will happen.)
Right now, when I plug in just my own Nano, it appears in iTunes for each of the other users. In fact I sometimes can't even eject because iTunes for another user thinks the iPod its attached to it.
To expand this thread, anyone have pointers on use of multiple iPods on the same machine with multiple users? The existing links to Apple support articles are not relevant.

Permission to end process of another user in task manager

Hi there,
I have Software Restriction Policy enabled, UAC is on computers and current user is not a local admin.
Is there a way to grant a user security right to terminate process started by another user? Using GPO.
Currently when user tries to terminate a task using cmd command: taskkill /F /IM "process", gets "Access Denied" if that process has been started by another user.
I tried Computer Configuration->Policies->Windows Settings->Security Settings->File System, gave domain users full access to the file that is being launched by another user but that did not do anything.
Thanks

I am not a VB expert but this code may give a view:
Const strComputer = "."
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim objWMIService, colProcessList
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name = 'Process.exe'")
For Each objProcess in colProcessList
WshShell.Exec "PSKill " & objProcess.ProcessId
Next
Taking a look at following links might be helpful:
VBScript Kill Process
How to terminate process using VBScript
Have a visit on the first example of page 133 in this book. For specific user you must handle it with
GetOwner attribute.
End
process for specific user
