How can two users of one computer keep their bookmarks separate on Mozilla?

My computer has User A and User B. User A has dozens of bookmarks all neatly organized in categories. User B would like to have his bookmarks on this computer, too, but doesn't want them to get mixed up with User A's bookmarks. What can we do with User B's bookmarks to keep them separate from User A's?

You will need an external drive that is formatted as MAC OS EXTENDED (journaled).
Move the Project, Events, and any photos and music to the external drive by following the instructions in this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
Be sure to use CONSOLIDATE MEDIA to get the photos and music. Then plug this drive into your computer and you will be able to edit.

I tried to set up two users on one computer, now I can't make iTunes match work for either.

Lots of people seem to be having multiples user problems on iTunes, but I can't find a solution to mine so please help.
I got a new iMac. Switched it on. Connected to iTunes Match - all fine and dandy.
After a couple of weeks I decided I should follow Apple's advice and set up a separate user account on the imac for my wife. I connected to iTunes match using her user name and down loaded a bunch of her favourite music.
Naive fool that I was, I didn't realise I had fallen into Apple's moronic multi-user trap. Only one user on one computer can use it???? Why???
I thought that it was me being stupid so I switched everything off - including iTunes Match. Now nothing works.
If I log on with my iTunes ID and try to switch on iTunes Match it asks me if I want to add this computer, and then gives me the "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID - you can't use it for 90 days" message.
If I use my wife's iTunes ID, it asks her if she would like to subscribe for £21.99 a year.
The exact same thing happens whether I sign into the computer itself with my account or hers.
This is awe inspringly annoying. Please tell me how to fix this.
thanks.

At this time there is no "solution." You'll simply have to wait the 90 days to re-enable iTunes Match.
For now here is my suggestion. In your User Account, in OS X, sign out of whatever iTunes Store account you are signed in with. Then sign in with your store account and leave it at that. Now sign out of your OS X User Account, sign into your wife's OS X User Account and sign into the iTunes Store with her Apple ID (if necessary sign out of the account first).
Now, you can go back to your OS X User Account and attempt to enable iTunes Match. You will probably get the "wait 90 days" message. If so leave it, mark your calendar, and wait for the 90 days to expire. You can try contacting iTunes Store support at <https://expresslane.apple.com> if you wish, but I really do not know how useful that will be.
Incidentally, you get the message to pay for the service when trying to enable it on your wife's Apple ID because the service has not been purchased using that Apple ID. iTunes Match is designed to be a single-user service that is never signed out of and is associated with one, and only one, Apple ID and a regional store.

Sharing photo's, two users on one computer

Hi,
I have two user's on my computer, both with different log on's etc. How can another user look at my photo's that are currently in aperture with out having to move folders around. Is there an easier way then just making multiple copies and saving them else where?
Can this also be done with iTunes so that we can share music without having to make duplicates?
Thanks.

You could probably move your Aperture library to a location outside your home folder, where the second user could open the library. You'd need to be careful about permissions, and I'm not 100% sure how it would work.
For iTunes, sure you can do it. Often it's easiest to just put the songs in a shared location, and have both people maintain their own iTunes libraries (thus playlists and playcounts aren't shared, but the song files themselves are). You can also share the library file, but it's more difficult.
Not too tough to do, but I don't feel like typing it up and helping with troubleshooting (especially in an Aperture forum)... do a Google search; it's been documented fairly extensively out there and I'm sure MacUpdate also has tools to help with this.

How can different user on one PC use all programs

I have two user on one PC and it should be possible that all user can use all programms.
Is it possible?
What do I have to do?

Mac OS X is inherently a Multi-User system, even if you were to create only one User account on it.
Mac OS X maintains completely separate System Files, protected from most arbitrary access, and Applications and Utilities are stored there to be used by all users.
Changeable information, including Preferences that seem to be system-wide, are actually stored in User directories under:
/Users/your username/
To have multiple Users run the same programs with different settings, you must do the following:
• Nothing.
Your Mac is already set up to do exactly that.
EDIT: Allan Eckert types faster than I do, and brings up an important point.
The Applications included with Mac OS X and installed automatically are placed in:
/Applications and
/Applications/Utilities
and are available to all Users.
If you Install an Application in a User directory, it will only be available to that user.
So don't do that!
Install Applications in the standard places, which WILL require that you provide an Administrator Username and Password.

Can 2 users on one computer share 1 itunes music folder?

There must be a way to do this, I just can't seem to find the answer.
The reason I need to do this is my ancient PowerBook only recognizes my new iPhone on one userid, not the one where all my music is loaded.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

If you put the library on a shared folder it should work fine. However you will want to make it so only one user is accessing the library at a time to avoid corruption (two users trying to write to the same database files).
You can copy the entire iTunes folder to the shared directory, then use this method to open it from that location...

Itunes Match: Two users on one computer.

My wife and I share one computer. We switch between users. I set up my itunes match under my user name, then I swtiched to her user and
tried to set up ITM. no go I get this message
Any advice?
Cheers

You can only associate each computer (not account on the computer) to one apple id. This is a restriction of match and automatic downloads from iTunes. See the iTunes terms and conditions and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.
I haven't tested it yet but I think if you have two user accounts on a machine and each has a different apple id, one of the accounts will have to login to match with the Apple ID that was authorized on the machine. I think if they do that, the user's iTunes library will be matched and combined with the library of the other user''s appleid only up in the cloud. You may or may not want that behavior. Also, I think if the user switches back to their AppleID, as long as they kept copies of their music locally that music though also in the cloud would still be accessible since it is on the disk. But anything showing with the cloud download icon (ie: stored only in the cloud) would disappear from the library until they login to match again since that music is not on the disk. The relogin to match will go thru steps 1..3 but much faster on each relogin and all music in match would show up again. I think the user can go purchase music on their id, login to match on the match id, and iTunes will auto match those purchases since they are added to the physical library.
Note, this is speculation on my part based on the fact that I was able to logout of my match ID and login to another ID to updated some aps from the app store. What happened was all my cloud music disappeared, local music stayed that was also present on the disk ws still there. I downloaded some apps, logged out, and logged back in with my iTunes match apple id and everything came back.
I would caution not to do this on an iOS device. On there, if the music is not in the cloud library when logging in and out of match across id's, it may be deleted. Also, the relogin on the iOS device, for me at least with 13,000+ songs, takes 20 minutes on an iPhone 4S.

Using two users on one computer

Hi,
I have had only one user on my powerbook since I bought it 4-5 years ago. I recently added a second user to my computer as a way to solve a problem I had with safari taking ages to load. It solved my safari problems but I have a few questions.
When I first logged into the second account, I noticed that things like my iTunes library was not there. I sorted that out just fine, but I noticed that the files in my movies and documents folders were also not there (about 60GB and 5GB for 65GB total). When I logged back into my old user account all the files were present. I copied the 65GB of data to my external drive, and logged into the second new user account.
One problem - when I look at the finder of both user accounts it shows I have 10GB space left on my internal drive. With all the files missing from my movies and documents folders, shouldn't I have 75GB free? Right now, I have copied my documents back from my external drive to the internal drive for the second new user, but I have no space for the movies files.
Now that I have the second user account setup and my safari is working fine, I would like to use only the new second account exclusively from now on - I just need a way to get the movies sorted out.
Thanks for any assistance.
Tim

Well if you use the Finder Go menu to Computer, a window opens up double click on your boot drive and then on Users folder, open the other user folder and open Public and drop your files into DropBox
When you do this it will copy them and change the permissions and user assigned to it, so log into the other user and place them into your respective normal folders.
Once you have all your files over and don't need the old user, use System Preferences > Accounts to delete it if you wish, however it's good two Admin accounts on the machine in case something bad happens in the other. Some people for security reasons on use a Standard account for most uses and a emergency Admin account.
One can still do most Admin things in Standard user.

Two users on one Computer. Need help.

I use Windows Xp and I have two different users on the same computer so we can download different songs to two different ipods. The problem I'm having is when I connect the ipod it says
" Another user on this computer is using the itunes software. So itunes is unable to communicate with this ipod. Please ask the other user to log out."
I have shut the other itunes down and even logged off and it still says this. Please Help. Thanks.

How can two users share the same iTunes library in 10.7

I am running Lion 10.7 and there are two users on the iMac.
I would like full read/write access to our share music from either user account.
Currently I have the iTunes Media folder in users/shared and on my account it looks like a regular iTunes and in my preferences I have ticked the 'share' box, but on my wifes account she can see the shared library but the only view available is a simple list.

Try putting it on a removable drive, like a flash drive.

Sharing files between two users on one computer

I have two user accounts on my Macbook so that I can use two different .Mac accounts. I want to be able to access files from both users accounts. Is there a way to do this without having to copy files into the "Public" or "Shared" folders?

You could create a new folder at the root "/" level. Put the file in there. More than likely each of you will have to modify permissions after editing the file.
OR you could put the file on an external drive.

How do I share software between two users on one computer?

I find that I need to use my husbands computer often and there is software loaded to his user name that I'd like to access. How doI do that? or do I need to set the computer up differently?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Most applications are saved in /Applications, so you can access to them with a different user account. However, in some computers, there's a ~/Applications folder inside the user folder, and in this case, applications stored in this folder can only be used with this user.
To use an application stored in your husband's user, ask him to move the application to /Applications. It may not work for all applications

How can two computers in one room have different wireless strength?

I have a Time Capsule that is a few years old. I also have a MacMini that is about 5 years old. I moved the Mac Mini from one side of the room to another in front of the window. When the Mac Mini was in its old space the wireless strength showed all the bars. Now that it is in the new area it shows 2 to 3 bars. What makes it even stranger is if I am using my Macbook Pro at the same time the other computer is on even in another room it has the wireless strength showing all the bars. How is this possible? Why is this happening? What could be causing this problem? Help!!

There are 3 antennas on the old TC.. around the 3 sides.. none in the front where the ports are.. Wireless is highly affected by location and how many antennas it directly sees.. if there is any material in the way of direct line between the two.. any metal wlll reflect signal.. that includes the metal frame inside the TC and the metal parts inside the mac mini.. so small orientation changes hugely affect wireless. !!
And water like dampness in bricks.. or even including the meat popsicles hitting the keyboard, sitting between the TC and the client computer will absorb the wifi. You are after all 50-70% water.. all wifi takes place in direct line.. get into the line and your body will be the barrier. The antenna in the Mac Mini are also located somewhere probably around the sides.. make sure you align them so a person can see from one to the other and orientate it so the antennas (hidden) can see each other.. plastic is invisible to them. With nothing in the way.
Laptops have better spaced and superior type antennas.. and probably a totally different wireless card.
It will also depend on the band it uses. A 5year old mini .. is that G or N wireless?? If N wireless then it is probably single band ie 2.4ghz.
The laptop if recent may use either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
So you see there are many factors.

How can two users have separate libraries in iTunes?

I have a library in iTunes for my 20 GB iPod, and now someone else in the house has an iPod shuffle. How is the shuffle installed into iTunes without overriding my library? Will it become obvious when the shuffle software is downloaded? Will I be forced to upgrade to the current version of iTunes (I've been avoiding that because when I previously upgraded I had endless problems with iTunes until the next version came out)? Thanks for any help!!
spurvis

Two iPods can update from the same library if you choose. The shuffle has two fill options, autofill which adds a random selection of songs or manual and you drag what you want to it. You can continue to manage your other iPod whatever way you want to. You can also create a separate User account for each person on your PC. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses. The iPod shuffle 2nd generation requires iTunes 7 so if you are still on 6 you'll need to update.
