Can I setup multiple user login accounts?

1. Like a normal macbook computer, can I setup multiple user account with password?
2. If it's single user only, can I setup password on an ipad? thanks

You cannot setup multiple user accounts like on a computer. You can set up a passcode to lock the device. Settings>General>Passcode Lock.

  • How do you setup multiple users with multiple devices on itunes?

    I'm trying to find the easiest solution to our family music situation.  4 users, 4 devices (ipods, ipad, imac, pc laptops), and 4 different musical song interests.  I'm sure there are millions of households that have the same exact situation.  I want to be able to pull up only my musical library, not my kid's music, and then easily synch it to my ipod.  Everyone in the family wants to do this same thing.  I have spent alot of time trying to search the forums/internet and there does not seem to be one "most popular" solution.  I did setup iCloud for each family member using a different Apple ID than my main Apple ID, and I'm happy that ALL the music shows up on my ipad.  But between iCloud, MobileMe, Home Sharing it all gets very confusing.  Some say to setup multiple computer login accounts, and others say to setup 1 playlist for each family member and synch from that playlist.
    I would think 1 itunes account allows you to easily share a purchased song with 4 users, instead of buying songs twice.
    So here are a few of my questions-
    1-Is it best to have only 1 itunes account and then synch all devices off of 1 main computer? 
    2-Or since we each have iCloud accounts, will they be able to synch their ipods from their own pc laptop?
    3-And when they synch, what is the easiest way to exclude other users music in itunes? (other than unchecking hundreds of artists)
    4-Or setup 4 separate computer login accounts on the imac and then keep 1 itunes account?  If so, how does this work when they open itunes?
    Again, I'm hoping for a straightforward simple solution.  I don't want to move & create libraries, download 3rd party software, etc. etc.  Please reply if you found something that works for your family.  Thanks in advance.

    turingtest, I do have a couple questions. 
    Number one, does everyone in your family only sych their ipods from only 1 computer?  If everyone only uses itunes from 1 computer I can see how that will work.  But what if kids want to use itunes for windows?  Will "Home Sharing" allow all their music purchased on the MAC, to be also displayed on their itunes for windows laptop?  I noticed you have PCs and also an ipad.  How do you manage your family's music on these devices?
    Also, how did you first get everyone's music library into their own library?  Drag & drop?  Is the "grouping field" you mentioned under "view", then "view options"?  What does this do? 
    Thanks.
    Sorry I missed your post earlier. Normally I follow up on any replies. This one must have fallen off the page on a busy day.
    As my kids have left home I have created for them a complete clone of the familiy library, then deleted the tracks from it they don't want. Over time their libraries will divirge, but if needs be they can still update their devices using the library at home. Handy when eldest's kit was stolen.
    Grouping is just another property, useful because it isn't generally overwritten by other software but is stored in the tags, so preserved when you copy files from one place to another. You can make the column visible and edit for multiple tracks in Get Info. Some software calls the same field "mood" or "sub-genre". iTunes has a specialist purpose for it generally used with classical music, but it doesn't seem to work very well for that and I don't use it that way.

    I interpreted his post to mean that he meant multiple human users, not multiple devices.  Hopefully, he'll clarify.

  • Can you have multiple users for one account?

    Can you have multiple users for one account? if so how do you set it up.
    We are using it for our department and it would be great to see who created what form instead of it being all one name.

    Each person should have their own account. You can easily share the forms with other people in your department. You will be able to see who the author of the form is.

  • HT4847 Can I have multiple users's family devices backed up to the cloud e.g. 2 iPhones and 2 iPads under the same iTunes account

    Just got a second iPad for the home.
    Can I have multiple users's family devices backed up to the cloud e.g. 2 iPhones and 2 iPads under the same iTunes account?

    Yes, but it's not usually recommended to share an iCloud account within a family.  If you do, any data you sync with iCloud will be merged and you, for example, will end up with each other's contacts and calendars on your devices.  Also, any action taken on one device (such as adding or deleting a contact) will be replicated on the other devices.  You will also all be sharing the same 5GB of free storage for all your data and device backups.
    Normally it's best to use separate iCloud accounts for each person's devices.  This will keep your data separated, and allow each person to have their own free 5GB of storage.  You can continue to share the same iTunes ID within the family; the ID you use for iCloud does not need to be the same as the one your use for iTunes purchasing.  (Each person should also use a separate ID on their devices for iMessage and FaceTime to avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.)

  • How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)?

    How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)? Currently each of us has our own iTunes account, so I've made an "all office" Apple ID. However, I can't seem to get two different accounts (my personal and the office) to work on my machine. Even when I login as "the office", my personal library is still showing. Additionally, when I try to setup with a first-time use in iTunes, I get an error that I don't meet the minimum age requirement - no matter what birthdate I enter!

    The library exists regardless of which user is logged in.
    The only way around that is to create different user accounts on the computer.
    There is no way to have 20 unique iTunes users access a shared iTunes under a single login on the computer.

  • How can I have multiple users on one apple id?

    How can I have multiple users on one apple ID?
    ie: I have my apple ID with my own credit, how can I set up credit for my son under the same apple ID, so that he can still access the same apps I've already downloaded and paid for?

    I've been trying to figure out a clean way to do this too. I think you may need more than one Apple ID – one that is shared and used to purchase "sharable" items and then "individual" Apple IDs for you and your son. That's the idea that I'm pursuing for the moment.
    It seems that there must be a way to do this, App Store purchases for the Mac are licensed across multiple machines. iPhone app purchases have "all your devices" licensing. Makes me think that Apple has a process in mind for sharing an account (or associating a device with multiple accounts).
    Other things I've learned:
    - Apparently you can't merge Apple ID accounts. I asked about this once at an Apple Store and was told that there was no way to do it.
    - If you share an Apple ID the Messages app behaves in a somewhat surprising manner. It must use your Apple ID to decide where messages should be sent because all users get all messages. This can make it very hard to organize a surprise party :-)

  • How do I setup multiple users to use one source but manage playlists separately?  For example, play counts are specific to each user.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Here adding to the words of “Tim”, a forwarder is a DNS server on a network used to forward DNS queries for external DNS names to DNS servers outside of that network. You can also forward queries according to specific domain names using conditional forwarders.
    A DNS server on a network is designated as a forwarder by having the other DNS servers in the network forward the queries they cannot resolve locally to that DNS server. You can refer information regarding forwarders and how to configure from beneath link.

  • Can i have multiple apple id accounts on my imac?

    Can i have multiple apple ID accounts on my iMac??

    I have added a separate user account for each Apple ID, but the iMac decides to update software, it won't let you if it was downloaded under the other apple ID.
    We are a business, we set up the macs for our faculty and staff, we install some basic stuff such as Microsoft Remote Desktop. iMac want's to update this but won't let the user (who has admin provleges) because it was installed throught he other account.

  • Is it possible to setup multiple users with the exact same calendar?

    I am trying to setup exchange with 3 users where each user sees exactly the same calendar all precisely in sync. I don't need the users to have their own calendar. Sharing a calendar from 1 user to the others does not work for me because I need it to be
    in sync with all the users' mobile devices as well as outlook.
    Thanks

    Hi dneray,
    Base on my knowledge, it is impossible to setup multiple users with the exact same calendar.
    However, as a workaround, you can try to set up a shared mailbox within these users as a shared calendar for them to share.
    Best regards,

  • Can I allow multiple users on a blog?

    I would like to have remote users who can update and add pages to a blog in iweb.  Is this possible?

    You can't have multiple users manage an iWeb blog.  That's because you need the domain file that's in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to be able to do that.  That would mean all of them would have to have access to the same file and all be running on Macs with the same version of iWeb.
    I suggest you create your blog on one of the online blogging sites, embed it into your iWeb page like in this demo page, Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page, and then give those you want to have access the username and password for managing the blog.  This way you can update the blog from any computer anywhere and from many mobile devices.

  • How can  I  restrain the user login portal once, in the same time ???

    Hi
    I need to restrain the user can't repeat to login portal ....
    to reduce portal loading
    How can I restrain the user login portal once, in the same time???
    Which attributs in Identity Manager or amconsole I can do it to restrain the user ??
    tks

    Does your portal support anonymous access? If so, make sure you are using the authlessanonymous mode. This mode only creates one session that is shared for all anonymous users. This is much more efficient than anonymous access, which creates a session for each anonymous user.
    I have no other recommendation for limiting users to a single login. In general, web applications do not behave like this. What if a user closes their browser without logging out? Does the user have to wait until the session times out in order to log back in again?
    The same thing is true for users that are mobile. If a user leaves their office without logging out and then attempts to log in with a laptop in the conference room, then access will be denied in your implementation. Users do not expect this type of limitation being built into the system.
    If you are having problems scaling, then you need to look at your architecture and perhaps add some more resources. Also, make sure you are making efficient use of the authlessanonymous access mode as stated above.
