Apple/Imac virgin How do I set up different users

New to Apple community and trying to set up different account/users for my imac

System preferences -> Users & Groups -> Click the + in the Bottom left corner ( You may need to unlcok the padlock beneath to make changes, it will unlock with your user password) Then set up a new account. If you click on Login Options also you can change automatic login for yourself so your Mac does not automatically login.

Can I present a keynote presentation using airplay and Apple TV? How do I set up airplay ?

Hi Andy,
You can do this reasonably easily.
First up you need to think about how you are going to drive the TV- Your iMac could do it, but a laptop would be easier if you can access one.
Second you need to look at the screen inputs. If it is a flat screen TV it is likely to have at least a VGA connection which you should have a connector to 'out of the box' and it will work much like connecting your mac to a projector would.
If not you'll probably need a connector for your mac that outputs composite (a single RCA connector) or S-Video to connect. You'll need to do this connection and find out the resolution the display supports before the big day (I live in a country with PAL which typically is 720x576). Make the Keynote presso the same resolution and you should be all good. A test drive is essential!
Here's a typical adapter from the Apple Store

Just as a thought- you could just burn a DVD with the images- it's pretty simple to set up (with transitions) a photo library in iDVD, though a little more tricky if you need the images to appear at certain times.

You would need to go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap her ID, sign out, then sign back in with your ID. However, if she has turned on automatic downloads, download previous purchases or signed into an iTunes Match account using her current ID, she would have to wait 90 days from when she first did this to change to another ID. She can, of course, sync your music to her device using iTunes without changing her ID association.

I have multiple devices$ users on my apple account. How do I set up icloud so that we can have our own emails?

iCloud isn't designed for multiple users. Everyone involved should have their own separate iCloud account, which means they need a separate Apple ID to create it: and each should be using a separate user account on the Mac to sign into their iCloud account.

Hi Sunny C,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The "From" field should be showing by default, but you can check or change your settings for Mail with the instructions below:

In the Composing pane, you can set the email account that you want to send new messages from.
Also, check the View command on the Menu bar. View > Message Attributes should have a checkmark beside the "From" field.

Now my family has 3 iPads ,all with the same Apple ID . How do I set up each iPad with its own info?

Now my family has 3 iPads, all with the same Apple ID. How do I set them up with their own info.

Hello marie196,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You do not necessarily need to restore the device to factory settings, but rather sign out of the four services that utilize your Apple ID: iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and iTunes & App Stores. Once signed out, you can sign in with a new Apple ID. For more information, see the following article:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services

Additional Information: You may encounter an error regarding a 90-day limit. For information on this, see the following article:

Thanks,

My daughter currently uses my apple ID. How do I set her up her own account but keep the music we have purchased

My daughter currently uses my Apple ID. How do I set her up her own ID but retain the music she has purchased?

You cannot associate previous purchases with a new ID.
A specific answer as to how to otherwise share media will depend upon your computer setup, about which we currently have no idea. Do you have more than one, at they networked, does she use the media on an i-device?

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.

Create separate user accounts for each use. Use Accounts preferences or Users & Groups preferences depending on which version of OS X you are using.

How do I set two different beat measures in the same project, e.g. 2/4 and 3/4?

you can't, GB is restricted to a single time signature per project
however, the time sig is really more cosmetic, it doesn't affect the way the project plays back, so you could set the project to 2/4 when working on the 2/4 parts, and 3/4 when working on the 3/4 parts

How can I set a specific user log on neme to a specific machine

Greeting,
I have a question :
How can I set a specific user log on name to a specific machine.
e.g.
Only User.A can log on to PC.A and the other can not.
Base On :
Windows Server 2003
Active Directory Version : 5.2.3790.1812

Technically we're both right. This depends on what scenario you're setting this up.
1) If you want to say only this person can log on to this machine, and it's not an enterprise solution (meaning you have a handful of computers you want restricted, not all computers) then do something like Yan Li has recommended. However, I
do not recommend using any DENY LOCAL LOGON user rights. In this case, you would have to deny everyone except 'User A' and your Administrators. If you put a user in ALLOW LOCAL LOGON and DENY LOCAL LOGON, then DENY wins and no one logs in. Instead,
you should remove all the settings from ALLOW LOCAL LOGON and add only User A and administrators.
2) If this is an enterprise solution, use the LOG ON TO option I mentioned before. Managing user right assignments per machine is very difficult and isn't a practical way to do it on a large scale. If every user in your domain is assigned a computer
that they can use, only that user can use that machine and that machine will effectively only allow that user. For this to work, EVERY user must be restricted to a workstation, if no setting is present, then that user can log on anywhere. This
is my preferred solution still.
Like I said, it depends on your situation to which route is better. I hope this helps and is clear and easy to understand.
- If you have my posts to be helpful, or the answer, please mark them appropriately. Thank you.
