Authorize mulitiple log ins --1 computer

if i authorize a computer under my itunes account will it work for all users on that machine?  My kids have different log ins on the same computer.  But we all use my account

Ok thank you. So itunes needs to be open for both people at the same time in order to share? I used to use homeshare when i was in a flatshare and could access libraries even if my flatmates were not in and their computers turned off so was hoping that it would also work on separate log-ins.
And given the above out only option would be for me to import the songs i want into my library using the source folder as the same that he stores his music in on the hard-drive?

  • How can I set up my Mac Pro so that my wife and I can use our separate iTunes accounts? I keep getting an error message that the computer is already associated with an Apple ID even though the two accounts are associated with separate log ins!

    I'm getting very confused with setting up multiple user accounts on my Mac Pro for my wife and I. We each have a separate iTunes account, and we want to keep our music libraries seaprate. I've set up two user accounts on the Mac Pro and I have my iTunes authorised and logged into my user account on my user account. Under my wifes user account (i.e. a separate log in on the computer) I'm trying to set up her iTunes account, but I can't download or play anything from the cloud - it just says "This computer is already associated with another iTunes Account" and tells me that if I 'transfer' then I won't be able to use the other one for 90 days! This is really annoying as my wife can't access music she has purchased on her iTunes account on the home machine. We're not trying to do anything dodgy, just access our music on our own accounts on separate log ins on the same machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

  • How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

    How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

    Load the library which doesn't contain the songs and drag them into the open iTunes application window. If you need to move them between different computer user accounts, put them into /Users/Shared/.

  • Why can't two different users use Itunes on the same computer with different log ins

    They can, but not at the same time.
    If one user left iTunes running, and another user tries to use iTunes from a different Windows user ID, that second user will get an error message.  If they really want to use iTunes, they either have to beg the first user to log in and close iTunes, or else they have to restart the computer.
    If you are asking the technical reason why, it is something about context switching.

  • Can several members of a household use the same library with different log ins

    Once you have downloaded the latest version of iTunes to a computer, can different members of the same family use the same library but with different log ins or do you need different computers?

    exactly:) you first gotta transfer the apps from your devices by connecting them and going to file and "transfer purchases" and it should bring the apps over
    PS: do make sure that the computer is authorized for all of the purchases do this
    -go to store at the very top of the page (usually up there with file,edit,view,and controls)
    -choose authorize this computer
    -enter the email address and password associated with the purchases you are transferring and hit authorize!!
    -quick transfer and done, you guys can share whatver you transfer to the library
    hope this helps:)

  • I successfully transferred my itunes to another PC, when I click on most (not all) songs, it tells me to authorize the computer, I authorize it, it says this computer is already authorized, but when i click on a song, it tells me to authorize again. help

    I successfully transferred my itunes to another PC, when I click on most (not all) songs, it tells me to authorize the computer, I authorize it, it says this computer is already authorized, but when i click on a song, it tells me to authorize again. help

    Are the songs authorised to the same account? 
    Often people change their e-mail address over time, and also decide to set up new iTunes account names using that e-mail.  You can (and should) continue to use an old e-mail address as your account name.  Then you don't run into the issue of having different songs authorised to different accounts.
    To check the authorised account for the song, click "Get info" on the song name in iTunes.  It will show the account name in the Summary panel.
    If you have set up multiple accounts, log into each one, and burn the songs to CD as audio tracks (i.e. like a normal CD, not a data CD).  You can then re-import the files into iTunes without the authorisation embedded into the song.

  • Everytime I log onto my computer I get an urgent message from FireFox. Details below.

    Everyday for 3 days now when I log on my computer I get a message that says: "It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for firefox as soon as possible."
    It then says "View more information about this update" It will not allow me to view more information(clicking on underlined blue colored line) and I've tried to apply the update and it will not load. The green line just goes back and forth until I finally just shut the loading page down. When I do try to load it by hitting the "Next" button it says connecting to something like trying to connect to upload program now.
    Now I'm questioning if this is spam or if there is some reason my computer will not load this update. As I said before it does not say what the update is...that makes me a little nervous now that my computer has refused to allow it to update twice.
    I tried to copy the page to send to you and it will not allow me to copy it.

    That could be the update to Firefox 10.0.2; you currently have Firefox 10.0.1.
    To update you can click on the Firefox menu: ''Firefox button (or File button) > Help > About Firefox > Check for Updates''. After the update is downloaded, you must restart Firefox for the update to be applied.

  • Constant Log Ins

    Constant Log Ins
    I bought a 17" MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.1 last week. In all the other Mac computers I've had, I only needed to log in once to web sites that require user names and passwords, like Netflix, and check the box that said something like "Remember Me." The next time I opened the computer, I would go directly to the home page without having to log in. With this new computer, I need to log in to all of these sites every time I start the computer. I've searched the System Preferences for some adjustment that would not make this necessary but have found nothing applicable. Have I perhaps missed something?

    Hi,
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Preferences and select the AutoFill tab.
    Where you see: Usernames and Passwords. Make sure that box is checked. The next time you visit a site that requires the login information you will be asked to save it. Click Yes. That username and password will be saved to the Mac OS X Keychain Access application. (Applications / Utilities).

  • Can I authorize multiple accounts on one computer?

    Can I authorize multiple accounts on one computer?

    Unfortunately you can't do the logical and convenient thing of authorizing a computer with multiple Adobe IDs that are active simultaneously.
    You can authorize accounts from different vendors; one account per vendor.
    If you have multiple operating system users set up on the computer,  you can register different OS users as different Adobe Account users.

  • Why can't we just have separate log ins and be done with this nonsense?

    As the topic says...
    This common login is supposed to be one reason why Adobe can't implement NNTP. But what function does it serve? I've commented in another thread, and below is more or less, what i said there...
    That, i think, was the most assinine idea anyone ever came up with. I see no reason for not having separate log ins for store and forums / downloads. In fact, i can't think of one good reason to combine the two.
    If i were a user of the Adobe store, i would definitely prefer to have a separate login and password for that area. I think most people would. I see a lot of aliases in the forums. In the store, you'd want to use your real name for tax and audit purposes. Moreover, what's to stop people creating two identities anyway? So, the whole purpose of a common id is meaningless.
    Am sure, that even at this stage, it wouldn't be too difficult to separate the two. For instance, whenever i open the forums i see a welcome at the top of the screen. Right above 'Home'. Yet, i still have to login to the forums... what give? Idiotic.
    Adding to the above, doing away with this single log in would also mean an end to this frustration of suddenly getting logged off, randomly staying logged in, etc., etc.

    It reduces the number of accounts people have to remember. I am very
    glad I do not have to have separate accounts for the Adobe site, the
    WebX forums, the Fusetalk forums, the Acrobat.com site, the
    Photoshop.com site, the trainers portal, the Community portal, the
    Partner portal etc.
    I remember the days those were all different accounts and I am glad they
    are gone. I can't wait until the prerelease site and the EDS site are
    fixed to work with the Adobe ID as well.
    In my reply to Kaguyen, I wrote:
    I agree that having a single loging procedure for all the forums was logic and necessary. However, I still completely fail to understand the logic behind tying the Adobe Store and the Forums login procedures. By its very nature, the former needs strong security measures that are not only unnecessary, but also completely absurd in a public forum. I gladly accept being logged out of my bank account and of the  Adobe Store after a fixed period of inactivity. However, I see no reason for, and strongly object to, being logged out of any public forum after any period of time.
    I would very much prefer remembering separate login data for each than been constantly logged out of the forums. Even more so as the login procedures currently in use were not tested properly before being implemented, and logouts occur unpredictably, including many cases where the user is active. Following your logic, why not have just one username and password for everything, including bank accounts, large stores such as Amazon, taxing purposes, etc?
    But separating them just isn't going to happen. And you know it isn't,
    because it isn't a technical decision but a policy choice. So I would
    very much appreciate if you stopped whining and detracting attention
    from issues that do stand a chance of changing.
    Jochem
    Now this is really a gem. I do hope you are not a member of the Adobe higher quarters, and that you are not officially speaking for Adobe, because a company that isn't able to recognize and correct a bad policy decision is doomed. Also, I hope you are willing to explain to us mere mortals which of the very many issues people are (in your words) whining about do stand a chance, however slight, of changing.

  • I cant conect to the Apps Store...I restored my settings and verified my account and password (I can log on any computer) just not my IPad.

    I restored my settings and verified my account and password (I can log on any computer) just not my IPad.
    When I touch on the App Store icon on the Home Screen the updates screen pops up with new updates. I touch on the update all, the Apple ID Password window pops up, when I enter my password (which works on my home computer) I get a pop up message that states "Cannot connect to iTunes Store OK
    I had no troubles until my daughter got a IPod and I set up a iTunes account off the home computer for her (she has her own sign on). I have reset the passwords and the restored the IPad. Any help would be appreciated.
