Apple tv under multiple account, same computer

I have the apple TV connected under my account log in. My daughter purchased a movie under her account log in. How do i get the movie (from her account log in) to the apple TV (under my account log in)?
Same idea applies to the photos in iphoto under different log in accounts.
THank you!
intel based iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

An Apple TV cannot sync to a sleeping or shutoff computer; the computer must be on and iTunes must be running. In the case of two accounts on the same computer, I've not seen whether that will work or not, but if it can, it would have to be using Fast User Switching and iTunes would have to be running in her account.
You might instead just want to copy the movie from her iTunes library to yours (copy it first to a shared location like the Shared folder in the Users folder, then just drag it into the iTunes window under your account) and then authenticate your iTunes to her iTunes Store account. Then you don't have to worry about syncing or sharing with multiple accounts on the same system.

How can a digital copy be used in a household with multiple apple ids, synced on the same computer? I want to put a digital copy on my device, and on my wife's device.
Please help.

you're welcome.
actually, unless you take an extra step, the first opened swf will close. if you want the 2nd to close, the initial receiving lc will send a message to sender that causes the sender to close.

Can I have iTunes 11 and 10 on separate accounts , same computer?

Can I have iTunes 11 and 10 on separate accounts , same computer?

Thank you Niel
I have 11 on my SnowLeopard macbook and 10 on my newer 10.7.5 iMac.
I've been comparing them and fiding lots of faults with 11 but I thought if possible I might give 11 another chance on a newer system but I guess not

Multiple iPods, same computer....HELP

I know this question has probably been answered, but I have tried other things and nothing works.
I have Windows XP, and I have my own account on it and my own iPod(4th gen, click wheel) and my sister has her own account and her own mini iPod. Our music is shared in the shared music folder on the computer.
Problem is, how do we use multiple iPods on the same computer. I am having trouble because whenever I/we plug in our iPod to the computer, it does not load to iTunes and instead just shows up as something in the E drive. How can I make it recognize each iPod individually without hassle?
Also, is there a way to not have everyone log out to update my iPod? I get a prompt that says everyone must log out before accessing iTunes. Any help would be great...thanks!

There are basically two methods for managing multiple iPods on one computer. See here:
Method 1 - Create different Windows users accounts for each iPod on this computer.
Method 2 - Create a playlist in iTunes for each iPod.
To make Method 2 work, connect one of your iPods, and click on it in the left-source panel.
Under the "Music" tab, and set your option for a specific playlist(s) under the "Sync Music" option.
Do the same with your other iPod; not connected at the same time as the other one, though.
For more details on this matter, check out Apple's Support article about it:
How to manage multiple iPods using one computer
I hope that helps you.

Why is apple Tv showing multiple copies same library

I use Apple TV a lot but recently multiple libraries of the same account are showing when I go to my computer's tab in Apple TV. There is only one account configured on Apple TV but multiple copies of the same library are shown on screen, Library of My Name is listed at least 10 times and when I try to connect it sometimes won't work, telling me I have to activate home sharing in iTunes, when it is working, it looks to me it takes more time than the time I was used to wait for before all this happened.
A reboot of Apple TV gets rid of almost all the listings but 2 or 3, again of the same account. My computer is an iMac 27, running Yosemite, iTunes and Apple TV are both up to date.

I'm not 100% sure of the ins and outs, but it's some sort of known issue between Yosemite, Airport and wifi. All you can do is wait for a fix and keep restarting your equipment as and when needed, unless you have the ability to connect your Mac via ethernet.

How do you transfer songs to second iTunes user account; same computer

How do I transfer songs from one user account to another user account on the same computer?
I've given my son his own account on our second computer. Prior to this, he shared his sister's iTunes account, using a playlist to populate his ipod. Now that he has his own account, he wants to transfer his music to his own account. Is it possible to do this quickly? I've been able to copy some actual song files from the first iTunes library and physically move them to the new account using a flash drive, but this is cumbersome. Any better options? Thanks.

Sounds like a good plan. What folder/files do I move...the entire 'iTunes Media' folder? ...and how do I point to it...through the advanced preferenced feature?
It would be the folder you have selected as your Library folder. Usually Mac HD/Users/[User]/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
See below:
Select Mac HD/Users/Shared/Music - CREATE IT if need be
Move your iTunes folder to the new Music folder. You'll probably have to "re import" the Library in iTunes. (Clear the old library first)
But ionce it;s in the Shared Music folder, EVERY account on the comp can access those files for their own library (whichever songs THEY want) and you onle need ONE copy of everything.
Each user can only access or modify THEIR OWN library while logged on so it prevents someone erasing another's library, because the iTunes Library file is in a locked folder when others are logged in.

Multiple accounts, one computer

We have several family members using itunes, with several different ipods. We would all like to purchase tunes from the itunes store with independent sources - credit cards, gift cards etc. When a gift card is enabled, it remains active until fully used.
How do we either create several accounts on one computer or allow the switching between payment methods or alternatively, more than one itunes account on the same computer???

The easiest way to manage this all may be to have individual Windows accounts for everyone. That way every family member will have his or her own iTunes library, iTunes Store account, etc.
If for some reason you all need to share a Windows account, then you can have up to five different iTunes Store accounts on your computer at a time. Each family member will have to log into his or her Store account using the Log In button at the upper-right of the iTunes Store window to make a purchase, and then log out when he or she is done purchasing. Each account will have it's own payment method (credit card, gift certificate, allowance, etc.) and will not impact the other accounts.

Is it possible to have two apple loans under one account?

So back in June my mum took up apple finance so I could get a macbook and pay her each month (I was under 18 at the time and have no credit history) and that went through within a minute no issues..
Now I face another issue, I want the new iphone 5s but still within my current iphone 5 contract I can't get out of but that aside my question is:
Is it possible to have two apple loans under one bank account? (the iphone one being much smaller than the existing mac loan)
If not, I'll simply have to save up £700.
Thanks~

Hi babowa,
The reference to two Apple loans led me to believe it was two Apple finance deals in conjunction with, for example, a Barclays Bank tie-up as we appear to have here in the UK. As you suggest, the payment is a matter between the poster and his mom, but I think that behind all this is the question of whether the poster's mom can have two separate accounts in this way. Which of course, she can.

I think you are using the same Composition Class on both project. On the properties tab, you can change this number (e.g.: EDGE-1637270).

Multiple accounts, multiple devices, same computer

I am so confused I don't even know how to ask this question. Please bear with me.
My wife and i have an iMac OS X. She has an iPhone, iTouch, and MacBook. I have an iPod Classic and iTouch. Her MacBook is her home computer for devices. The iMac is my home computer for my devices.
She redeemed a gift card into her iTunes account and bought an app from the Store. She did this on the iMac. The problem? She can't synch the app from the iMac to her iPhone. On her MacBook, she can sign into her iTunes account, see the app she purchased in her account history, but there is no icon for the app and cannot synch it to her iPhone.
Surely she hasn't wasted the purchase of an app. How do we synch the app to her iPhone? Can you only use a device on one computer? We are at a loss, please help the noob.

Multiple separate Itunes accounts same computer

I have an iTunes account for myself, connected to my computer. I sync both my iPhone and iPad to it.
My daughter got a new iPad for Christmas, with her OWN iTunes account. I don't want to mix the different devices.
How can I keep the 2 separate? The new iPad doesn't even attempt to sync... and only shows my apps, not hers.
I did sign out of my iTunes account, and logged in with her account information... but nothing changed on the library or anything.

Give her her own account on the computer, and let her have her own library. That is the best and least confusing way to keep things separate.
In Windows, Start > Control Panel > Add or remove user accounts.

HT204053 can you have 2 apple ids under one account

Our family has several apple devices. Our phones and computers use icloud to coordinate calendars. However we do not want to receive each others imessages and such. With several iphones on imessage and icloud and under the same id this has recently become an issue. How do we stop it from happening but stay coordinated with itunes and calendars?

Each user should have their own Apple ID for an icloud account. You can defined shared calendars that all family members can access and edit.

How do I create subfolders UNDER multiple accounts in Mail, similar to Outlook?

I am trying to move from Outlook 2011 MAC to Apple Mail. I understand how to drag my folders (mbox) but I have 3 mail accounts in Outlook and want to create these same accounts in Mail...followed by the specific folders under each mail account.
Mail doesn't seem to allow me to simply drag a subfolder under a particular account. I'm on the latest version of Mountain Lion, as an FYI.
Can someone help me because there has to be a way to keep things organized by email account and respective subfolder.
Thanks,
Harlan

Multiple libraries, same computer

Hey all!
I've been trying to organize my music quite a few days now. The good thing is I've figured out how i want things to be. Too bad iTunes doesn't seem to get it. Or maybe am I missing something?
I have a Macbook computer which is getting it's hard drive pretty full. Because I use it both at home and at work, I travel with it a lot which means, I can't fill it with music. I do have some music on it (podcasts for example), but most of my music is on external hard drive and I'd like to keep it that way.
The way I'm thinking, is there a way to let iTunes use multiple libraries at the same time? For example I have my external HDD library available next to the one on my internal hard drive? Kinda like when iTunes finds shared music on computers on the network?
That way I could differentiate two libraries yet having them both available without using option-key to launch and select libraries (thats kinda lame).
Hope you guys and gals get my point

Share photos across multiple accounts same machine--issues

Dear All,
I recently created a disk image as per the following article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US, section
Alternatively, move the iPhoto library to a disk image
Subsequently I copied the iphoto library to this disk.
Now when I connect with one user, I see all the pictures OK, no problem. I log out (or even restart the computer) and connect with a different user (yes, I made sure the permissions are set read/write for these two users). With this new user, every time I open the library from that shared drive I get an error (something about the library is locked asking me to restart the computer); when I do I get the same. Then I open iPhoto with "option"+"command" and choose rebuild database (after tryiong repair unsusccessfully). The stupid thing keeps munching and munching for hours at in (library has 80 GB) and in the end it screws up all my events and put pictures (not sure they are ALL there) in a stupid event called "recovered photos".
I have tried everything I could, I don't know what to do anymore. Please help (yes, I ran disk utility verify disk and verify permissions, all seems to be just fine).
THANKS!

The message that I get when trying to open the library from the other user account is:
Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable
Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
