Copying Accounts to multiple iMacs possible?

I preside over our computer lab at my school which has 14 iMacs and 12 Gateways. Do I have to program the accounts individually on each iMac or can I do one and copy the preferences to the others? Each one has 3 accounts with Admin, Student , and Digital Photo and it takes a long time to do each one.
Thanks!

You might try copying it to Users/Shared. That way it is available to everyone on the machine and you only have to copy it once to each computer. What kind of a folder is it? Some apps (like Word) have template folders that all users get when they load the app, so you could just copy your items to that folder, depending on what kind of file it is.

  • Is it possible to have 2 iCloud accounts on 1 iMac?

    I share an iMac with my husband, and we each have iPhones and an iPad. We have individual iCloud accounts and I wish to now purchase more storage to back up our endless photos, but on my account. I can't seem to work out how to create 2 iCloud accounts on the iMac because he already has his set up as the default one on it.  If I go to sign out it starts asking about deleting content etc, is it not possible to simply add another account and then switch users within iCloud?  Or would I need to set up a new profile on the computer so we each have one, and then could I create a new iCloud account on that profile for me?  However, all my photos and documents are under his profile.  I'm confused!  Doesn't take much….. Thank you for any help you can give.

    You must create separate user accounts on the computer. One for you and one for your husband. Each of you should use your individual Apple IDs and each account so you will each have completely separate iTunes Libraries. Note that in so doing one of you will not be able to use any purchased items bought using the other's Apple ID. These items will need to be re-purchased under you own Apple ID.
    In order for this to work you each log onto the computer with your own user account. To make things easier you can enable Fast User Switching in order not to have to always log out and log in.
    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • Sync with multiple iCloud accounts one on iMac

    We have one iMac in the house, and have recently gotten 2 iPad's.
    We want to be able to sync documents from the iPads to the iMac to work on, but want to have separate iPad accounts. Do we have to setup different user logons on the iMac, or can the iMac sync with two separate iClouds at once?

    We do want to completely share music, is it possible to keep just one music account? And ideally we only want to pay for apps once, so would both like to be able to download whatever apps we wanted.
    If i setup multiple accounts on the iMac, is it possible to share files between accounts without having to logout?

  • Is it possible to associate two iTunes accounts with 1 iMac?

    My wife and I both share an iMac but have seperate user accounts. Each account is linked to different iCloud accounts. I recently purchased a few songs on my iPhone and was wanting to download them to our shared iMac but was unable to as my account was not associated with the iMac. We purchased the iMac a couple weeks ago and I didn't have any problems downloading from the iCloud then. Friday my wife associated her account with the iMac and disabled mine. Now iTunes says I have to wait 86 days until I can download my previously purchased items.
    Any way that both can be associated with the same mac to allow past purchases to be downloaded?
    Thanks

    Is it possible to get an answer to a question around here? At least respond that, "We don't know and we'll get back to you."

  • Using Facetime with multiple accounts on one imac

    At first I tried to connect on facetime from my imac account to my MBP computer but was unsuccessful because I suspect I was using the same email for both.
    Then I activated facetime on the imac for my wife who has an account on the imac and then tried from the MBP to connect to her account on the imac and am unable to do so. I can use her account on the imac to connect to my mbp.
    Has anyone else been able to make such a connection. It would seem to me that it does not matter which account on the imac one is using.
    Thanks,

    I have made successful FaceTime connections both to and from every possible combination of my iPod touch, Mac Pro, and MacBook Pro.
    In order to connect FaceTime between different devices, each device must have a unique identity.
    For Macs and iPods touch, these identities must be unique Apple iDs. If you have done this and can connect in one direction but not the other, check the typing carefully. One of the devices may have an error in the correct contact info.

  • Multiple "libraries" possible?

    Pardon me if this is a dumb question...but..
    My GF has an Ipod Nano, and a library with her songs in it. Now I want to get a Nano as well, and keep my own list or library of songs, completely separate from hers, that I can transfer onto my iPod Nano, using the same account. Is this possible with iTunes? How would I do this, if so, step by step?
    Derek

    Just use different playlists to update each nano.

    Then to update the iPods,
    To automatically update your iPod, iPod nano, or iPod mini with only selected playlists, first connect your iPod to your computer. When it appears in the Source list, choose Edit > Preferences and click the iPod tab.

  • Multiple iMacs, multiple family members -- so common, yet so hard?

    I have a media-loving family of four. We're an Apple family. One shuffle, two touches, two iPhones (coming Friday), three AppleTVs, and two iMacs. We love them all.
    I HATE the pain it seems to be to keep my media in synch, however.
    It's not so hard keeping my account in synch with the AppleTVs and my Touch. Where I get into trouble is in wanting to allow my family members to leverage MY library as a basis for theirs. Moving and copying music and movies from my library to my daughter's, for example, just seems a lot harder than it should be. As does keeping my library on my upstairs iMac in synch with my downstairs iMac.
    I've been unsuccessful in attempts to use iTunes Ranger.
    What's the best way to move between accounts on an iMac?
    And, is there an easy way to keep two iMac iTunes libraries in synch?
    Also -- can anyone point me to some really good documentation that explains the finer points of media storage on a Mac. Everything Apple provides (unless I am missing the secret detailed manual with all of the crazy tips) seems so high level...
    Many thanks in advance. Appreciate the support.

    Also, latest news shows that Android only made $22million in revenues last year, and spend $20 billion acquiring Motorola.  So I don't see Andriod being able to do much in the year 2012 to ramp things up to compete against Windows Phone 7/Nokia and Apple. What news are you reading? Android is not a company but a phone operating system. GOOGLE acquired Motorola, not Android. GOOGLE's 2011 revenues were 37.9 billion, NOT 22 million. Google acquired Motorola for 12.5 billion, NOT 20 billion.
    Also, here's another suggestion... Do like AT&T has done and give users a early termination fee to get out of there contracts.  I believe they charge $35 dollars or something higher if your not satisified and want to terminate your contract early.
    Since you don't want to support or offer any more Windows Phone 7, why keep us as unhappy customers.  Give us an option to pay a early termination fee and leave!!! Again, where are you getting this information? The AT&T ETF is $325 less $10 for each month of your contract which has been completed. It is NOT $35. Verizon has a similar, although slightly higher ETF of $350 less $10 for each month of your contract which has been completed.
    Yes, we can hear you, but you are not making any sense!

    I have two separate itune accounts under two different email accounts and would like to combine them under one account.  Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?

    If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
    Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
    That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

    I am a teacher and I have multiple iMac's in my room and I need to be able to purchase apps one time and have them on all my computers.  Is this possible?  I know that I can do it with multiple iPad's but can I do with iMac's?

    Yes logon to each computers itunes and away you go.
    To redownload on each itunes got to the itunes store, select Purhased from the quick links section and navigate to what you want to redownload.
    If you want to do it for apps that run on the Macs not on the iPad you need to login to the Mac AppStore and login with the same apple id and download apps that work on macs

  • One account on multiple devices

    Hello,
    I'm trying to figure out how to get one account on multiple devices. I know that a personal iTunes account is allowed on at least five devices but I'm trying to get one business account on say "100 devices" is this possible?
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hi rRamiro,
    You are correct that with personal Apple IDs you can download apps on 10 devices (up to 5 computers and the rest on iOS devices). The only way to use a single Apple ID on say 100 devices is through the use of Apple Configurator. (click the link and scroll down to the section for Apple Configurator to learn more)
    If you are an educational institution or business you will want to enroll in Apple's Volume Purchase Program (VPP) which allows a single Apple ID to purchase multiple licenses of an app. Most developers will offer a 50% discount on their app when 20 or more VPP licenses are purchased in a single transaction.
    With Apple Configurator you can distribute the VPP codes to your fleet of iPads. Apple Configurator uses a single Apple ID to install apps on your iPads. Configurator will also allow you to install free apps on multiple iPads using a single Apple ID.
    Hope this answers your question!

  • Create user accounts on multiple networked computers

    I have a computer lab of 21 identical systems:  20 student computers and 1 instructor computer.  All are running Win 7 (32 bit).  They are connected via a simple Windows network.  I have 50 users, and I was wondering if I could simultaneously
    create local standard user accounts for each of them on all of my computers.  I know this is possible if I am running Windows Server, but I am not.  Will I be able to accomplish this using Windows 7 (Ultimate)?  Doing this one-by-one will be
    quite tedious, and probably not feasible given the allocated resources).  I am a novice, so perhaps I have omitted some key information.
    Thanks in advance.

  • 1 Source Account to Multiple HFM Accounts?

    Is it possible to map a single source account to multiple hfm accounts in FDM?
    Currently, I have a 1 for 1 mapping.

    Hi Kelly,
    Thank you for the response. I found what I was looking for in an answer from Oracle:
    Use Logic Accounts
    What you will need to do is use Logic Accounts inside of FDM. Logic Accounts are ways to duplicate records in the trial balance. This way they can be adjusted (possibly for a 40/60 split for example) and pushed via mapping into the appropriate accounts.
    Logic is applied at import and before mapping and is subject to normal FDM procedures. This means that if you push two different values into the same Logic Account, they will be 'summed,' and if you forget to create map entries for your Logic Accounts they will fail validation.
    The best suggestion I have is for you to also look into the FDM Administrators guide. Available from the Web interface via the 'Help' menu. This will provide examples as well as a more descriptive answer.
    Please let me know if you have any further questions
