Can you set up multiple users on a MBP?

I just got my first MBP. I set it up and signed in with my Apple ID info.
Is there a way to set up another user so my wife can sign in web she uses the computer?
Thanks!

When you do this, you might want to be aware of how to "fast user switch" between accounts so that either of you can take over the Mac without having the other person log out. Note that the currently active username is at the right of the menu bar. Click that and you get a menu so you can switch to any other account on the Mac. Other accounts that were running continue to run in the background.
If your wife was using the Mac and you fast-user-switched into your own account, when you're done you have two choices. If you want to stay logged in but not have your account in front when your wife returns to the Mac, choose Login Window from that account menu. That will hide your account but leave it running, while letting her log back into hers. If you are completely done, click the Apple menu and choose Log Out, which will exit your account into the login window so your wife can still get back into her account that's still running in the background.

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.
If you aren't sure, click About this Mac from your Apple menu 

How do you set up multiple users? Netscape use to let me choose which profile to start. Can I do this with Firefox and can I have email linked to each individual user/login? How?

Netscape use to let me choose and create new profiles. after clicking on the icon for netscape i was prompted for which user profile i wanted. can i do this with firefox? also, each user profile was linked with its respective email account. can i do this through firefox as well? I need help. i have tried setting up firefox before and since i couldn't accomplish this i had given up but netscape is so old and most sites cause it to crash, i need a solution. i have 2 main profiles and 2 different email addresses. any advice or help, even not firefox related would be great

Firefox doesn't have the same type of interface for the Profile Manager that Netscape did. You might want to look at SeaMonkey ''(which uses the same Mozilla Gecko code as Firefox has)''.

Can I set up multiple users for garageband?

I have been asked to take over creating the podcast for my church. Under preferences for Garageband I had "My Info" in place for my personal podcasts I did, so that the information weas already in place when I export to iTunes.
Will I have to update this with the church's information every week, then set it back to my info when I create a new person podcast? Maybe there is a better (more efficient) way to get the information in for both podcasts?

To have separate accounts for each client would be by far the simplest solution, but if you do not want to have too many accounts, how about creating an Automator Service to set the info for each of your clients? Then you can set the tags after exporting the podcast to iTunes from the "Services" menu in the iTunes menu.
A sample Automator service might look like this:
Launch Automator.
Select to create a new service.
Set it to receive text in iTunes.
Type iTunes into the search field.
Drag an "Get selected iTunes items" action to the workflow. Set this action to "Get selected tracks"
Drag an "Set Info of iTunes Song" action to the workflow. Enter the details of your client.
Save the service. This will install it in your library.
To use the service, select a podcast in iTunes and press the "Run" button in your service or call it from the "iTunes > Services" menu. Running the service will write the info to your podcast. Define one service for each of your clients.

Can I Set Up Multiple MacBook User Profiles Without Compromising Security?

I backed my computer up and errased everything because I always have young kids on my computer. I have many Music Projects recoded in Pro Tools & Logic that were being messed with so I took them off.
I want to make it where I can back up my content to a seperate profile that is locked with a security password, and have another user profile without a password that the kids can use without compromizing my projects. I am not sure if this is possible?
I know how to set up multiple User Profiles but I am not sure how to (if I even can) have separate content guarded by lock and key?

If you make their account either managed or standard then they won't be able affect your personal user account which should be admin. Only admin accounts can control other users.

Public variables can be shared by multiple users?

I have public static variables in some of my classes...think that there are 2 pages...
page1:sets that public variable..
page2:reads that public variable...
so the 2. person can read 1. person's variable by directly calling the second page or he gets null,error etc:?
its important for the security!generally are the values are session protected?or user must handle this security by coding correctly...
thank you

Actually, neither your question nor your English are
particularly clear.
However, if you're asking what I think you're asking,
then, yes, the variable can be seen by multiple
"users." I put that in quotes because there really
isn't a concept of "users" or "people" here unless
you build in such a layer. It's really requests that
we're talking about.
Servlets should not usually have member variables.
The reason is that usually only one instance of your
Servlet implementation exists, and it processes all
requests for that servlet. This is more a data
validity issue than a security one. Security comes in
at the layer where you build it (or use a 3rd party
library), but a side effect of this can be compromisd
security. The access levels--public, private, etc.
are NOT intended for security purposes, however.
Now, if that servlet's doGet(), doPost(), service(),
or whater methods create instances of some
other class, then, no, other requests cannot
see those objects, as long as the references to them
stay local to the servlet's methods, and don't get
put into the servlets member variables or an
application context.thank you this is what i exactly wanted to learn...i have also tested it with my test codes and same things seen parallel to your explanations...

I'm assuming you have the lastet OSX version 10.9 "Mavericks." Here are some useful links from Apple I think will help:

I suspect you have a newer iMac than the pre-2006 models this forum covers (the forum labels are unbelieveably vague). If you can confirm that yours is newer than 2005, I can ask the Hosts to move you the the forum for current iMacs, which gets many more views.

Can you hook up multiple pairs of wireless headphones to the MDR-DS6500 base unit

Do I need an AirPort to attach to each set of speakers that I want to connect, or is there another kind of receiver I can hook up to the speakers that do not have any kind of WiFi or Bluetooth configuration?
You basically have two choices: 1) Place an AirPort Express base station at each of the speaker locations, or 2) Use an AirPlay-Ready receiver that offers whole-home audio support. The latter would require that all speakers be connected back to the receiver.
Also, if I am planning to set up the airplay by using the extended network configuration, then the Wifi base station does not need to be an AirPort station? I have Fios and had trouble last time I tried to hook up an AirPort in place of the router that they provided.
The AirPlay networking protocol requires either a wireless or wired connection between the AirPlay server (typically iTunes) and the AirPlay speaker (AirPort Express, Apple TV, or an AirPlay-Ready receiver or speaker). AirPlay will traverse over an extended Wi-Fi network regardless of which manufacturer hardware is used.
