How can i set up multiple user accounts for my new ipad mini?

How can i set up multiple user accounts for my new ipad mini?

The iPad mini is basically a one user device. There are no Accounts. You can set up restrictions so that only you can do certain things.

Can you set up multiple user accounts on one laptop?

can you set up multiple user accounts on one laptop?

Of course.
And instructions can depend on which OS X is installed.
For v10.7 Lion > OS X Lion: Create a new user account
For v10.8 Mountain Lion > OS X Mountain Lion: Create a new user account
When you post for help, please state which OS X is installed.

How Can I Login To Multiple User Accounts Simultaneously

I am using an Intel iMac (2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) with 1GB of memory and 10.4.11. I have Fast User Switching enabled. I restart the Mac every morning. Then I login to a second user account. While at work, I access these accounts via VNC.
Sometimes I forget to login to the second user account. I do it from work via VNC, which sometimes causes complications.
Does OSX support simultaneous multiple user account login? If not, is there a work-around solution such as an AppleScript? This would provide a time savings to me, as well as a convenience if I forgot to login to the second user account before leaving home.
Thank you.

Seems to me, in another discussion, the simple Fast User Switching does not
do much really fast or automatically; there are a few faster steps than having
to log into each and every account change (even when FUS is enabled) so
this later development sounds a little more automatic, esp over a distance.
Is there a third party app or valid script that an do the multiple logins automatic
after the first-run; so passwords need not be re-entered, and the screen can just
switch over "fast" to another open account window, ready to go to work in there?
{And not just a keyboard shortcut to save a few little steps, overall.}
Whichever way the road turns...
Good luck & happy computing!

Can you now have multiple Itunes accounts sharing content on one computer?

Hi - I was trying to find this information on line but cannot.
The last "big" Itunes update (11.2?) prevented multiple Itunes accounts from sharing content on one computer. Well, you can, but with consequences. For example, my husband purchased a movie rental with his Itunes account on our computer when he logged on to Itunes, but then I could not download any Itunes content for 30 days when I logged on to my account. I no longer purchase any content from Apple because of this. I was hoping this feature has been discontinued – it prevents households from purchasing Itunes. We never pirate or steal any content at all. In fact, this feature forces us out of the Itunes universe to purchase movie rentals and music elsewhere.
Not just trying to complain, really. Legitimately want to find out if this rights policy still exists before we both try to rent or purchase anything from Itunes.
Thanks.

"Won't it present problems if the daughter needs to reauthorize the computer for her own use before 90 days,"
No. The 90 day limit ONLY applies to redownloading purchases from iTunes..
So if she were to redownload purchases from the father's account then she'd have to wait 90 days to redownload form her own account. and the computer can be authorized for multiple iTunes account (pretty sure it's 5) . You don't need to later reauthorize for first account if you authorize for a different account.
More discussion on 90 day wait period - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6094005 - disable automatic downloads so message doesn't appear when using multiple accounts.
Most people don't see the "re"

Can one mac have multiple iCloud accounts?

Hi, we have a family Mac, and everyone uses one Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes except for me. I want to get my Pages documents to sync with my phone iPad and the family mac, but the others in my family still need to use their iCloud account too.

You can create separate user accounts and sign into your respective iCloud accounts within your user account.

Can I Do This - Multiple User Accounts, Same Apple Account?

I'm wondering if I can do this - I just got a new pc for my wife and kids, each of whom have an ipod. They have been sharing a username and Apple.com account (the xxxx@yyyy id) on the old pc, each synching their ipods with no problems.
On the new PC, which is Vista64 based, they will have their own user account. Can they still use the same Apple account, and share the same songs/Itunes library or will there be problems?
If problems, any suggestions for my setup?
Thanks in advance.

That shouldn't be a problem at all, Bruce. Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for the general strategy and post back for any further details you may need.

Create his own user account on your computer and add/create his iCloud account there.

Can I still have multiple Facebook accounts available with ios 6?

Guys,
Since upgrading to ios 6 there seems to be no function for easily accessing multiple accounts on our iPad, am I missing something?
Jon

FaceBook integration appears to be limited to a single account. However, there is no reason you can't access multiple accounts by signing in manually.

Multiple user account on a iPad

Is it possible or is it a futur feature to have multiple user account on a iPad?
I know Apple Configurator can make multiple user on a device but it's not built in iOS and you have to plug the iPad to reset the iPad.
Thanks.

It's not possible at the moment, an iPad is basically a single user device with one set of apps and content : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
These are user-to-user forums, whether it will be possible in the future nobody on here will know.

Problem with iTunes and multiple user accounts in Windows

I am running iTunes on a PC (Windows XP) and have multiple user accounts. When I switch between user accounts and try to open iTunes, I get a message that tells me I can't open the program because another user is using it. Is it really true that I can only have iTunes open in one user account at a time on a PC with multiple user accounts ?!? If not, what am I doing wrong?

You are right, can only have one open. You have to log out of a user before logging in to another user to use iTunes. Do not use the fast user switching ability of Windows.

Having multiple user accounts and using apple tv mirroring breaks and also compromises privacy?

I've got a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac from Feb 2012 and the newest Apple TV 2 that I bough t a few months ago (June 2012 I think).
On my iMac I set up a second user account besides my primary account to allow my ladyfriend to use Apple TV mirroring to watch movies from my user account's Public folder. It worked for a short time and then (now I wonder if this was when 10.8.1 was released) it ceased to work.
Here's what happens now:
1. I log in as the TVwatching account (leaving my primary account logged in)
2. In the TVwatching account I switch on Apple TV mirroring and the result is (on the mirrored screen, not the iMac) an alternating glitchy green screen with bits of the TVwatching account's desktop and then bits of my primary account's desktop flashing in the background
3. I turn off mirroring
4. I log back in as my primary account (leaving TVwatching user logged in) and turn on mirroring and the mirrored display looks just fine
5. I turn off mirroring
6. Log back into the TVwatching account (leaving the primary user logged in) and this time, when I turn on mirroring, it's clearly viewing my primary user's account --- HELLO PRIVACY BREACH!!! Also, no green screen and no flip-flop flashing of the two user's desktops.
When I log out my primary user and just log into TVwatching account it works as expected but I would think I should be able to have multiple user account support since I leave my computer (and my primary account) on all the time.
One thing I will try is the newly released 10.8.2 update (installing as I write this) and I'll see if I can still reproduce.

I should add that I did a system restore of the Apple TV this evening too and was still able to reproduce, as well as the firmware update that was available. As far as I can tell, the Apple TV is up to date on the latest everything.

Mac OS X maintenance scripts and multiple user accounts

Hi everyone
Just wondering how the default maintenance scripts scheduled to run in the early morning works with multiple user accounts. Our Macs at home all have multiple user accounts (one for each of us) and I'm wondering whether the scripts work their magic across all accounts (assuming the computer itself is switched on AND not asleep).
Also, is the behaviour the same regardless of Mac OS X version? More specifically we're using snow leopard, lion, mountain lion, and maybe shortly mavericks.
Thanks!
Joe.

The maintenance scripts run by periodic perform system tasks. They do nothing in a user's account (unless you modify the scripts or create your own). They are primarily designed for long lived systems (servers). There isn't any magic nor would a normal mac users find any differences whether they ran or not.
In all the operating system versions that you mention, the scripts will run when the computer wakes, assuming that the computer was turned on before the prescribe times.
