"cannot update ipod because another user on your computer is logged in"

Does anyone have any idea why I get this message since no other user is logged in our has access to my computer? I've gotten this message before and eventually it goes away.
I've shutdown, restarted the computer, reopened, changed usb ports on and on. Have I mentioned how sorry I am that I bought an Apple device!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have fast user switching enbaled? If so disable it, that can be the cause of the problem.

  • Another user of your computer is currently using this connection. This user must disconnect before you can log on.

    Hello
    I have a single computer that is going to be shared between 5 people. In an effort to save time. I wanted the users to have a single shared LOCAL login to the computer.
    Then each user could pull up an RDS session through RDWEB on our 2012 r2 RDS farm.
    However, when I attempt to log in more than one user through RDWEB I receive:
    Another user of your computer is currently using this connection. This user must disconnect before you can log on.
    I have done some research on this, and followed this advice, and did the following steps on all my RDS session host and broker servers
    Enable Multiple RDP Sessions
       -  Log into the server using Remote Desktop.
       - Open the start screen (press the Windows key) and type gpedit.msc and open it
       - Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections.
       - Set Restrict Remote Desktop Services user to a single Remote Desktop Services session to Disabled.
       - Double click Limit number of connections and set the RD Maximum Connections allowed to 999999.
    However, it did not solve the problem. Anyone have suggestions?

    Hi Michael,
    In addition you can try below registry setting for multiple remote session.
    HKEY_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
    fSingleSessionPerUser     REG_DWORD     0x00000000
    Note: By default the registry value is set to 1, but you need to change to 0.
    Also if you are making connection through gateway then recheck whether the setting is enabled on gateway side for multiple session.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • How Do You Transfer an iTunes Library to Another User on your Computer??

    I am trying to transfer my iTunes library to another user on my computer so that I won't have to download all over again the dozens of CDs that I have already downloaded onto my computer. It is for someone else in my family who just got their own iPod. I have WindowsXP. Does anyone know how to do this?

  • What does it mean when you have a window saying there is another user and your computer has been renamed

    When i opened my computer this morning, a window was there saying that there was a second user using my computer and had changed the name ... what does the mean?

    ok, thanks Grant Bennet-Alder ..  so this could have been my phone or my ipad I assume.
    even though i have not seen this before, and had had all three for a couple of years now . but, maybe if I understand this right, my iphone could have been using wifi instead of cellular? 
    Is this what you mean?
    again, thank you so much.

  • Cannot update ipod because it contains files in use by another application!

    I recently upgraded from a powerbook g4 to an imac 20" C2D. Ever since I put my 5th gen ipod onto it it will give me that error every time i connect it or try to update it. I've tried restoring it and that doesn't fix it.
    anyone seen this issue or have a solution?
    Thanks a ton!

    If you're talking about when syncing your iPod (as opposed to actually trying to update its software), then I've been getting this, or a similar message, sporadically ever since (I think) updating to iTunes 7, however it doesn't actually seem to stop songs (or photos) being copied across correctly, as far as I can tell - is your iPod actually not syncing correctly ?
    Sometimes I get the message immediately the iPod mounts, and sometimes when it appears to have finished syncing, and it doesn't always occur. I've wondered whether it's actually being produced outside of iTunes by a Finder transaction for instance (my iPod is set for file usage as well), since as I say, I don't think I've ever noticed it not actually syncing as expected.
    It's irritating though; and clearly a bug. Can't pin the circumstances down enough to be able to even think about a solution, and up until spotting your post hadn't bothered to raise the issue anywhere. But as I say, the message I'm getting isn't actually interfering with my iPod use.

  • Cannot update iPod because I don't have permission

    I can download updates to iTunes on my computer, but when I attempt to download updates to my iPod as prompted iTunes tells me I do not have permission to access the requested resource. I am signed into iTunes, so why will it not give me access to the resources and what do I need to do to correct it.

    Yes, I am the administrator on this computer. I have tried this with all of my security software disabled and my popup blocker turned off (if that makes any difference!) Thanks.

  • TS1368 Cannot connect to/open application to ITune.  Message states "because another user has it open.  Ask them to quit and retry."  However, there is no other user.  Help!

    Cannot connect to/open application to ITune.  Messages states that it cannot open "because another user has it open.  Ask them to quite and retry."  However there is no other user???  Thanks for any help.

    You Windows must have different user profile where iTunes is open in that profile.  Switch windows user and close the iTunes, then return to your own user profile to open again.

    I'm getting this message "The iPod “Sage’s iPod Touch” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. " But cannot update iTunes because my OS is 10.5.8.  How do I use my iPod with my iTunes?

    But im not sure if that applies to your problem, you can check it out though.
    Have you gotten any of your songs from limewire? I've seen some posts on another website about this error maybe having something to do with songs from limewire.

  • Message "another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on" appears every time a new user logs in... Bad problem

    I have just deployed an image to over 500 workstations, and they are all deep frozen using deepfreeze.
    When users are logging in, and open Firefox they are getting the message "another program on your computer would like to modify firefox with the following add-on:" Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.2
    Yes I know u can do a one-time click and allow, but we have potentially 50,000+ students logging into these PCs and it is unacceptable that they are greeted with this message rather than the Homepage.
    This is very dissapointing, as we upgraded to the latest version of firefox in preperation for rollout, and then added some software like adobe.
    The profile is kept in the default user, so everytime a user logs in, they will get prompted with the message, and this will always happen because we use deepfreeze.
    I need a FIX ASAP from mozilla on how to disable this pop-up via Group Policy...
    Not at all happy,
    Sharpy

    Hi,
    One way you could try is to install Firefox on a fresh PC/image which has the same Adobe software versions installed as the clients. You may also have to install the same extensions as well as software for any additional plugins as on the clients. Start Firefox and make sure everything is okay. After that you can copy and overwrite the '''extensions.ini''', '''extensions.sqlite''' and '''pluginreg.dat''' files and probably the '''extensions''' folder and any supporting files of the extensions from this fresh profile, onto a client profile after temporarily disabling/unfreezing Deep Freeze. If everything is okay you can then push the changes onto the other clients via a logon/startup script after temporarily disabling Deep Freeze and then re-enable Deep Freeze.

  • Fast user switching and "ipod is in use by another user on this computer"

    Is there any way to suppress the "ipod is in use by another user on this computer" message that appears when you use fast user switching.
    my wife and I share a mac pro and when flipping between sessions, this message gets to be a bit annoying. i.e. if her itouch is plugged in and she is managing it through her library, if I fast user switch to my session, I get the warning dialog (ok to clear) I mention above. This is kind of annoying now, since I understand I won't be able to manage that ipod from my itunes session.
    is there anyway to suppress this behavior?

    Hi again,
    Glad to hear you got all your music files back into your library.
    I've seen this iPod error before, but I don't know why it occurs. In my experience, restarting the computer solves the problem.
    Cheers,
    Sara.
