Can I have multiple user settings for one user?

In one user account I would like to save and access mutlipe users settings at the click of a button. Can this be done?

Hello Jake,
from the Appple menu you can change the location - the location describes your network settings, if you have wlan, ethernet, vpn etc, but unfortunately not the things you want to configure.
If you want to set up your desktops and your Dock with different working sets depending on your task, then you need to create different accounts, one for a new user "Jake The Writer" and one for a new user "Jake the Graphics Designer". This you can do from the "System Preferences" -> "Users and Groups". To add an account click the padlock in the lower left corner, then the "+" and define the user name etc.
If you click on "login options" you can set "show fast user switching". Then you can switch between your accounts from the main menu bar by clicking on the user icon in the upper right corner (right beside the spotlight searchfield).
For each new user you can set up the Dock and the items on the Desktop, when you login as that user.
However, seperate user accounts try to protect your data by sharing and permission settings. So you would not be able to access the data in your separate home folders when logged in from a different account. If you want to use these approach you should store your documents in the Shared folder and not in your home folder.
Best Regards
Léonie

HT204053 can I have multiple icloud accounts for one apple id?

I have multiple people in my family using our original apple id . As they have gotten iphones, macbooks, etc they register there devices under our originale apple id. over the holidays when my youngest child got her ipod touch and registered it for icloud, two of the children now are seeing each others texts? Is there a way to use the same apple id for the family and have seperate icloud accounts for each person or should we have a seperate apple id for each person?

Yes but the issue with receiving each other's text messages is not being caused by sharing the same iCloud account. To fix this, each person needs to be using a separate Apple ID for iMessage on their devices. (Note: you can continue to use the same iTunes account on all your devices but each person should use a different ID for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime). There are a couple of things you need to do to sort all this out.
First decide who will be keeping the current ID for all services. On the device(s) belonging to the other people in your family, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in with a saparate ID for each person. After doing so you will no longer be getting each other's messages on your devices.
Next, to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
For iCloud, to avoid having merged data by syncing with the same iCloud account you will need to migrate each person to their own iCloud account. To do this, first decide who will be keeping the current account. On the other devices go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from the device, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the current account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My [iDevice]. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID on the device(s) belonging to each person. Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data in your iCloud accounts you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

Can I have multiple incoming servers for one email address on mail?

I am currently trying to connect my school email address to my Mail app on my Mac.
Unfortunately, it seems that when connected to the school network, I can't access the Microsoft Exchange Web sever, whether through any web browser or Apple Mail, but I can at home.
I have found the mail servers from the Outlook settings at school, so if I change the settings from the Exchange Web server (mail.xxx.co.uk) to the networked mail server (xxx-exchange.domain.local), I can access the emails through the school network, but when I come home, I then have to change the servers back, and then Mail tries synchronising and I seem to lose emails off my Mac, but they are still on the server.
Is there any way of setting up the account on Mail so I can access the emails from either server address, depending on my location, without having to do it manually?
Thanks in advance

I have 2 email accounts that come to my mac mail box. Can I set a Smart folder that all of one of the account emails will go and then set another Smart folder for the other email account?
you can but there is no need to do it. click on the little triangle next to your inbox. it will expand and show the inboxes for each of your accounts.
If so, can someone tell me how to set it up?

Can I have multiple volume levels in one track?

I have a track composed of audio from a cassette recorder of a now deceased relative's voice.
Since the cassette was turned on and off during recording, the recordings are at different volumes.
I have been able to import the cassette into a GarageBand project, and delete dead space, but now I find that the volume is not consistent.
Any way to remedy that? I am wondering if I need to chop it up and make more than one track, and adjust the volume on each track? Will this work as long as the tracks don't overlap?
And then do I send the finished product to iTunes in order to be able to use it in an iMovie?
Or can I drag it right from GarageBand to iMovie?
Many thanks, I'm a very new GarageBand user.

HT4436 can I have multiple icloud accounts on one device

can I have multiple icoud accounts on one device (ipad)?

Are you sure only primary account can use Find my iPhone?
I added a secondary account to my daughters iphone and was able to use it for Find my iPhone.
It warns you that the Find my iphone service will be disabled on the other icloud account.
I think this is a good change so I can use a single account to track all the devices.
Looks like only photostream and documents/data are tied to the primary account.

Actually it isn't Alt-Tab on OS X, it's Command-Tab to use the Application Switcher.
Also, Control+ left/right arrow key will switch spaces if that's what's desired.

Can Exchange have 2 different mailboxes for same user

hey guys,
I need to know whether Exchange 2010/2013 can have two mailboxes for the same user e.g.
1st mailbox is configured to send and receive emails for: xxxxpride.co.ke and
2nd mailbox is configured to send and receive emails for: xxxxsolutions.co.ke
is this possible? if not how should i go about this scenario?
will it mean I have to run two different exchange and AD servers which will have a different public IP?

No you can not have 2 mailbox for one user. Because, mailbox is associated with AD account and you need authentication to send emails.
In this case you can do following
1. Create a different user account with 2nd email address and Forward that 2nd email to first one. So User is reading 2 email in one mailbox. TO send email from 2nd mailbox assign the send as permission to first account.
2. Add the Alias email address in your first mailbox. (By doing so) User will recieve the emails for both address but cant send from 2nd email address.
You can have multiple domains configured to recive and send emails in one exchange server.Yes certainly
we can create multiple recipient for multiple domains.. Under authoritative domains section of hub transport. External Relay and Internal relay and authoritative domains can be created. you can create email address policies for each domain as well. See the
link below to understand more.

Can i have multiple email address for icloud

can i have multiple email acounts on my new imac if so how do i do that

You can have more than one mail account. To add more, you can do it in two places:
1. Open System Preferences > Internet Accounts, and press the + button.
2. Open Mail and go to Mail menu (on the menu bar) > Add Account.
Respecting to iCloud, you can have more than one mail address if you upgraded from MobileMe or if you used iCloud before the iOS 6 launch. In both cases, you will have a @me.com and a @icloud.com address

Can I have multiple stream types in one object?

For my final project in my data commucnications class I'm writing a client/server socket application that will allow multiple clients to play TicTacToe simultaneously against the game on the server. The teacher is a C/C++ jock, and knows very little Java. We're free to choose any language that will do sockets, and I love Java and don't love C++.
I've built the GUI, and got it to the point that I can reliably connect multiple clients on different machines in the school lab to the Server object, which accepts the new sockets and creates a new thread of ServerGame to do the playing in response to the client's moves. A mousePressed() detects clicks in the grid, and modifies a string to contain the status of the game. I've used a BufferedReader and PrintWriter combination on both sides, to send the GameString back and forth, starting with "---------", then the client makes a move and it changes to "X--------" and the PrintWriter sends it over and the ServerGame makes a move to "X---O----" and send it back, etc, etc. You get the idea. I have a ways to go with the implementation of strategy stuff for the ServerGame's moves, but I like it so far. But now I realize it would be really cool to add to it.
What I want to do, since there can be multiple players, is have a way that it can be like a TicTacToe club. At any one time, it would be nice to be able to know who else is playing and what their won/loss record is. I plan a Player object, with String name, int wins, losses, ties, gets and sets. With Textfields and a Sign In button I should be able to send the Player name to the Server, which can look up the name in a Vector of Player objects , find the one that matches, and sends the Player object for that name over to the Client, and also provide it to the ServerGame. Each player's won/loss record will be updated as the play continues, and the record will be "stored" in the Server's vector when he "logs off". Updates shouldn't be too hard to manage.
So, with that as the description, here's the question -- most streams don't handle Objects. I see that ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream do. So -- am I headed for trouble in using multiple stream objects in an application? I suppose I could just use the object streams and let them send out a serialized String. In other words, I want to add this to my program, but I don't want to lose too much time finding out for myself if it works one way or the other. I already have working code for the String. Without giving too much away, can anyone give me some general guidance here?

Anyway, here's the present roadblock that's eating into the time I have left. I've spent many happy hours looking for what I'm missing here, and I'm stumped, real-time.
I found it was no problem to just send everything over and back with ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream. From the client I send a String with the state of the game, and can break it down and code for decisions in the server as to a response and send the new String back to the client. I now have a Player class with Strings name and password, ints wins, losses, ties. I have a sign-in in the client GUI and old "members" of the club are welcomed and matched with their Player object stored in a Vector, and new members are welcomed and added to the Vector. My idea is to make the Vector static so the clients can have access to the Vector through their individual threads of the Game in the server. That way I should be able to make it so that any one player can have in his client window a TextArea listing who's playing right now, with their won-loss record, and have it updated, real-time.
The problem is that in my test-program for the concept, I can get a Player object to go back and forth, I can make changes in it and send it back and have it display properly at either end after a change. What I'm aiming at in the end is the ability to pass a copy of the Vector object from the server to the client, for updating the status of everyone else playing, and when there's a win or loss in an individual client, it should be able to tell its own server thread and through that update the Vector for all to access. Sounds OK to me, but what's happening is that the Vector that goes into the pipe at the server is not the same as the Vector that comes out the pipe into the client. I've tried all the tricks I can think of using console System.out.println()'s, and it's really weird.
I build a dummy Vector in the constructor with 4 Players. I can send a message to the server that removes elementAt(0), and tell it to list the contents of the Vector there, and sure enough the first element is gone, and the console shows a printout of the contents of all the remaining Player objects and their members. But when I writeObject() back to the client, the whole Vector arrives at the client end. Even after I've removed all the Player elements one by one, I receive the full original Vector in the client. I put it into a local Vector cast from the readObject() method. I believe that should live only as long as the method. I even tried putting clear() at the end of the method, so there wouldn't be anything lingering the next time I call the method that gets the Vector from the server.
What seems the biggest clue is that now I've set up another method and a button for it, that gets the elementAt(0) from the server Vector, changes the name and sends it back. Again, after the regular call to get the Vector sent over, it shows in the server console that one element has been removed. And one by one the element sent over from (0) is the one that was bumped down to fill the space from removeElementAt(). But in the client, the console shows 4 objects in the Vector, and one by one, starting at (0), the Player whose name was changed fills in right up to the top of the Vector.
So something is persisting, and I just can't find it.
The code is hundres of lines, so I hesitate to send it in here. I just hope this somewhat lengthy description tips off someone who might know where to look.
Thanks a lot

Can I have multiple Apple IDs on one email address?

How do I register for and Apple ID for my husband's ipad when I am using the family email for my own Apple ID?

An email account can only have one Inbox, and each email account can only be on one iTunes account. I don't use Virgin Media, but some providers allow you to have sub accounts under the main account, or can you create a second Virgin Media account to use on a second iTunes accout ? You can also create free email accound via, for example, http://hotmail.com and http://gmail.com
But you can use the same iTunes account on more than iPad - all content that you buy/download from the iTunes store is tied to the iTunes account that downloads it, so if you want to have the same apps, music, films etc on both then continuing to have just the one account may be preferable.

Can I have multiple clouds connected to one id?

I have 5 phones and several iPads connected to one id and sharing one cloud. We share music and contacts however, when one phone rings, all phones ring. When one of us is texting, we all can see who is being texted but can't read the text. Is there anyway to unlink the phones AND still share music on this id?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can all share an ID for iTunes, but all have your own ID for iCloud.
