Buying Music for Other Users

My husband will be out of the country over the next year and I would like to purchase songs for him to surprise him while he's gone. How do I send my purchases to his iTunes?

Purchases of music can be easily transferred from one iTunes library to another, so you can buy tracks via your iTunes Store account and then get them into your husband's iTunes library. How you can do this will depend on your setup and situation. Is he using a separate computer and going to be taking that with him, so you want to load the tracks onto it before he leaves? If that is the case, take a look here:
iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
Once you have the tracks on some removable medium, you can mount that on his computer and then just drag the content to the iTunes window. Make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced preferences before you do.
If you don't have access to his computer, you can gift the tracks to him and he can download them himself using his own iTunes Store account:

If neither option covers the situation, please post back and let us know and I'm sure someone can help further.
Regards.

How do I distribute the apps I buy on the cloud for other users.

How do I distribute the apps I buy on the cloud for other users?

Hi mlabomb1,
You will not be able to distribute the apps, if you have bought Creative cloud on 1 e-mail address then the owner of that ID will be able to use all the apps on his machine.
If you want 4-5 users to use different application then have them buy separate Creative cloud on their respective Adobe ID's. If they have already bought it then ask them to sign in to https://creative.adobe.com/products and start downloading apps.
Thanks!

Purchase iCloud storage for other users

Can I buy iCloud storage for other users?
Thank you.

To the best of my knowledge, purchased storage stays with Apple id it is purchased to. To the best of my knowledge, it is unlike itunes store, and is not obligated to comply with local laws/regulations for downloads.
I wish sometimes that people like you could create tips on do's and don'ts internationally, since we are all a bit shortsighted when it comes to Non our country situation. Unfortunately that tip here will die in the dark.
BTW, I think your switching store may backfire for you, but I am sure you were informed of that on the phone.
Question:
Is it possible to pay in EU for iCloud accounts valid in China (RMB) and in the US (USD)
They do not care( they will charge in acceptable units and card will take care of exchange rate), as long as card is accepted by corresponding store ( it is if it is on your file, and if not on file -you will find out as soon as you try to put it on it )
As in the end they will end up back in the EU.
What happens if you extend the storage in 1 country and then move to another country with a different currency and extend it again?
I think I already answered that one.

Buying music from other stores besides the U.S. one

i want to know how can i buy music from other stores around the world like from japan for instance i know i have a U.S. account but is there away i can buy music from those stores with my account????

This has been covered here many times already, but once again: Apple has no choice in the matter. It's due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders. From This Business of Music (10th Edition) (by M. William Krasilovsky and Sydney Shemel) (and thanks to the Mimico Kid for the reference) :
The difficulty of establishing workable business models for digital files (...) extends to where they are sold and where they are played. This is the issue of territoriality, and it is an illustration of how the Internet makes it necessary to reexamine basic assumptions that have been taken for granted (...).
(....) In the music business the primary problem is that copyrights are national and therefore specific rights are tied to national laws and the interpretations of national courts.
(.... T)hough we can one day hope to see the development of common standards with respect to copyright, the fact that the music business is building upon a history of nation-specific contractual relationships means that the goal of universal international standards is not, for the forseeable future, a practical one.
(...) Adding to the difficulty (...) the copyrights themselves may have been assigned to different companies in different territories. The best hope for a cleaner start and a simpler future is worldwide recognition that digital uses are in fact - and should be in law - totally new.
The content owners don't like cross-border sales of CDs either, but there's nothing they can do to stop such sales. They can, though, and do stop cross-border download sales, since if the download stores refuse, the rights holders won't license the tracks to that store.
So unless and until the record companies, et. al, all get together and agree to allow download stores to sell cross-border, there's absolutely nothing Apple or any other download store can do.

3 user profiles on mac book pro. cant see one account in time machine - has it backed up? and for other users ''no permission'' to open folders - i just want to know that stuff IS backed up (before attempting upgrade to lion)

We have 3 user profiles on mac book pro. want to upgrade to lion but want to be sure that all users are backed up to ext hard drive via Time Machine. When I go into Time Machine - I cant find anywhere my user account (1 of the 3) - loads of photos and documents. For other user accounts - if i go to open a folder i cant ''no permission'' is the message. All I want to be sure of is that there is a back up and for these 2 reasons I am far from sure.

Be sure they're not excluded in Time Machine Preferences > Options.
Also, if iPhoto is open while a backup is running, Time Machine may not be able to back up the changes in the iPhoto Library. It will "catch up" the next time, if it can.
For other user accounts - if i go to open a folder i cant ''no permission'' is the message. All I want to be sure of is that there is a back up and for these 2 reasons I am far from sure.
That's correct; one user, even an Admin user, doesn't normally have access to another user's files. You should see the same behavior if you try to look at their data on your Mac.
Log on as the other users (or have them do it) to see their backups.

Can I share some, not all music, with other users on same iMac?

Hi,
I want to be able to share some musice with other users on the same iMac?
Is it possible to do without having to share everything?
Thanks, Crankyhead.

Create a playlist containing the music you want to share. Then select Preferences in iTunes and from there select the Sharing tab. Turn on "Share my library on my local network" then click on "Share selected playlists" and click on the playlist(s) you want to share.

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this?

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this? I have 4 blocks of Single Choice fields in order for the summary page to give me each day in the final report. But, I need the user to be able to make a selection of any day and time and that apointment to no longer be available to future users when they log in. Plus, when the user clicks on the time, they are unable to change their mind and choose another time.

I'm afraid not. It's not rocket science but you need to do some coding.
You'll need to find a script (php) and save it to your local site folder. Then reference the script in your form's action attribute like so.
<form action="path/form-to-email-script.php" >
The input fields in your HTML form need to exactly match the script variables.
I'm assuming you're hosted on a Linux server which uses PHP code. Linux servers are also case sensitive, so upper case names are not the same as lower case names. It's usually best to use all lower case names in your form and script to avoid confusion.

Playing music for others online

I am interested in playing music for others in a chat out of itunes or something of that nature and was wondering how i set up the sound to play directly through the soundcard to increase the sound quality. I have an idea how this is done for pc's but cannot fugure it out for mac. Basically i dont want it to play the music through my interenal speakers and then be picked up by the internal mic and retransmitted. There has to be a simple way to do this. ANy help? I am just using the internal stuff, no fancy speakers or anything. Also any free apps or programs that i can get to play around with sound as well?

Thanks Wrathius . I know what Teamspeak is all about just that I haven't use it before.

Mac is freezing no programs running yet no trouble for other user

My mac keeps freezing yet no trouble for other user. No program's run without 5 mins of coloured wheel rotating. Also time machine not operating properly as computer is not recognising it. Apple support centre not much help as it took them 10 mins just to get my details straight! Anyone with similar problem and successful solution?
Thanks.

Tried Mac HD utility first aid but advised it can't repair disk.
It's possible you have directory damage. You will need to get that repaired asap by using/purchasing a stronger 3rd party utility. The more you use the computer, the worse it will get.
Utilities are best run from the CDs to avoid system interference & false readings/reports. You must use the versions that are compatible w/your OS system & keep the utilities updated to avoid damaging/harming/trashing your system. You need to make your own decision on which to purchase. Read up on them on their websites because each do something a little different.

IBot user not receiving dashboard alert/email not the case for other users

Hi,
I have a user who can create iBots and is able to deliver them to other users. However the user themselves cannot receive any iBot alerts on the dashboard or via email, even for iBots that they create themselves.
I've checked their account setting and their email is configured, they are part of the correct user groups etc. This user has never been able to receive any iBot alerts or any iBot content.
Can you let me know what else I can check as iBots are working for other users?
Regards,
AT

Thanks Jay,
They are part of the same group (in fact thety are part more groups as well) as other users for whom alerts and iBots work. They have the relevant priviliges under Delivers, their email is correct.
They have access to the relevant Subject Area as it is ther user themselves who create the report and try to send it out using and iBot, other users receive the report apart from themselves. They themselves don't receive any alerts or emails.
Rregards,

Message no visibility for other users

Since I started working with Message Beta my account visibility for other users is offline.
With 'the old' iChat my online status was visible to other users.
With Message however non of my chatfriends can see that i'm online even if my status shows online and visible in Message.
The only thing other friends see is that i'm offline!
Who knows the answere?

Hi,
If you have multiple accounts/Buddy lists go to the Messages Menu > Preferences > General Section and use the item to unlink the Buddy Lists
Now check each one and also the setting to make them all the same.
If that does not work try Deleting the Account and then re-adding it/them

SubArea not visible for other users in ESS

Hi All,
I have created a new subarea (having few services) and assigned it to a Benefits and payments Area.
Now the issue is its only displaying to Administrator Role not for other users.
if iam giving SAP_ALL to other user then we are able to see this.
Please let me know if iam missing anything .
Thanks,
Santosh

to the role assigned to the user, you need to select end user visible in the role.
note Number              939412
ssign the following permissions to an End user.
   o Goto Content Administrator ->Portal content ->Content Provided by
      SAP ->End User Content -> Employee Self Service
   o Right click on Employee Self Service. select open-> Permissions
   o Assign read authorization to default user group "everyone".
   o Check the 'EndUser' checkbox
   o Save the Assigned permissions
   o Goto System administration -> Permissions.
                                                                Page 2
   o Goto Portal content ->Content Provided by SAP ->srvconfig
   o Assign read authorization to default user group "everyone".
   o Check the 'EndUser' checkbox
   o Save the Assigned permissions.

I want to secure my email account for other users of the i-pad. Is this possible?

I want to secure my e-mail account for other users of the i-pad....
Is this possible???

no.
The only way is if you use a webmail app - not the included e-mail app - so you can password protect it online.
The iPad is meant to be a single user device so it has no protocols to partition off any part of it (beyond what restrictions allow)

Setup iPad for other user when iCloud pw is unknown.

I'm a tech director for a school district with ~450 iPads. Often, I get students or staff who move out and leave their iPads logged into iCloud as themselves. I need to get these iPads setup for other users. How can I setup an iPad if the previous user is long gone?
Nobody is going to give me their Apple ID password and I wouldn't expect them to. Recovery mode lets me wipe it but I still need to enter the previous user's Apple ID and pw to proceed.
I don't use Configurator; I prefer iTunes.

Might be some help on this link, but you may need the password.
