How do I set up 3 separate users in itunes?

I have three separate iTunes accounts but when I log into iTunes it only shows the music for one account under all three. I need to know how to separate the profiles for these accounts.

You need to either download the content to the single iTunes library or launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose a different one; iTunes libraries are separate from iTunes Store accounts. Note that if you do this from the iTunes Store instead of importing already-downloaded content, you may encounter a 90-day waiting period.

How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone? Can this be done?

How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone (with separate info on each of course) ? Can this be done? A little step by step would be greatly appreciated; just short step by step though, I can follow fairly well.
Kindest Regards,
Phil T.

You would each need to use your own user account on the Mac, you can do this at system preferences > users & groups.

HT5620 How can I set up two separate accounts on one iPad?

How can I set up two separate accounts on one shared iPad?

The iPad is meant to be a single user device.
It is possible to use multiple ID's on an iOS device, but when you switch ID's and download content with another ID, you associate the device with that ID for 90 days and lock yourself out of the other ID for that 90 day period.
So while it is possible, it's not advisable.

HT1349 How do I set up a separate icloud account? Both my wife and I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad, but only one Mac. We are tired of our "stuff" getting mixed up together when we sync.

How do I set up a separate icloud account? Both my wife and I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad (1 and 3), but only one Mac. We are tired of our "stuff" getting mixed up together when we sync. Thanks much

You don't need separate iCloud accounts if you want to simply sync unique content to each device using iTunes. I have three iDevices using one ID and one iTunes library and each device has it's own content on it. You need to set up the sync configuration for each device. This is what I recommend.
First turn off auto sync in iTunes. Launch iTunes on the Mac and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
Connect one of your devices to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the device name on the left side under the devices heading.
Click on a tab in iTunes - Apps for instance.
Click on the Apps that you want to sync to that device.
Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked.
Follow the same procedure for all of the other tabs in iTunes ..... Music, Photos, Movies and so on.
After you have finished making all of your selections, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
When you are done, eject the first device and do the same thing with the other device. iTunes will now remember the sync configuration on each device.
You can change that configuration any time that you like by following the steps outlined above.
If you want to continue to auto sync, turn it back on in the iTunes preferences as described above.

How do I set up an additional user on my MacBook Pro?

How do I set up an additional user on my MacBook Pro?

Go to System Preferences>Users and Groups. Then click on the lock (if it's locked), to unlock the pane. You will have to put in your password. Then click on the + to add an account. Add a password, and give it privileges. You can make an admin account (not recommended if you're letting a stranger or a kid use your computer, but that's your choice). Hope this helps.

Quit iTunes.
Sign into another user account.
Hold Option, launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
Do this for all users.
NOTE: You must quit iTunes when switching users as the library can only be opened by one user at a time.

How can I set up a 2nd user on mac pro

want a family member to be able to log in on my desktop mac without access to my applications. How can I set up 2nd user?

System Preferences > Accounts > ...
Click on the lock in the bottom left and enter your Admin Username and password.
Click on the Plus [+] button under the left column.
Create a new user, generally NOT [ ] allow user to administer this computer.
This user is completely separate, can have their own email, their own desktop, and cannot mess up your settings on shared Applications or email. They WILL have access to Applications in /Applications, but not the ones in /Users/<yourname>/applications.
If you need additional restrictions, use Parental Controls.

How can i set up two different users on Ipad mail

I would like to set up two separate email accounts on the new Ipad Air. Two people will be using the Ipad for their internet connections. They have no other computer. I have one Yahoo! mail account completed and have the Yahoo mail app installed but this app is awful for a beginner to use. I would like to have both access their mail under the mail icon on home page.

You can configure as many email accounts as you want on the native Mail App however, you cannot separate them or log out of them so one user will be able to see mail from the other user's account.
I would suggest you look for a 3rd Party Mail account that can do this for you, as the Native one is simply not designed for multiple users.
Alternatively you could simply put a link to Yahoo's webmail page on the Home Screen and have them log in to that when they need to.

How can I set up an email user as "send-only" (no mailbox for receiving)?

Can anyone tell me how I can set up an email account that can send emails but not receive emails.
Our Web application has been using a generic email address "[email protected]" in all of our PHP Web applications as the sending email account. I have this user set up in WORKGROUP ADMIN as a proper account. However the account gets tons of SPAM emails and is constantly filling up.
Also, all of the email accounts require SMTP authentication to send emails.
Is there any way to identify an account as a send only account so we can generate emails from our Web applications that cannot be replied to?
Thanks for the help
-- Jon

Doing so will cause issues. If you send out mail which to an outside server appears to be non existent, mail may be rejected and you may even be blacklisted.
You can remove the account from WGM and add a role account as an alias send to /dev/null. This will look to the outside world like an existing address, but simply be discarded on your system. You should however include a working address in your mailings for people to be able to respond.
Assuming you use local domains, edit /etc/postfix/aliases and add:
noreply: /dev/null
(you can change noreply with the sender used in your PHP apps, but I'd probably change the PHP apps to use noreply as this signals to people receiving your mails that this address is unattended).
When done, issue:
sudo postalias /etc/postfix/aliases
sudo newaliases
sudo postfix reload

HT1351 I have a new iPod Touch......I was able to successfully set up a new account, but I want it to be separate from the 800 songs I already have in my iTunes library. How do I set up a separate library on the same computer?

I have a new iPod touch; I have an iTunes library of music for an older iPod shuffle.

How do i set up a separate itunes library for my wife so her synch doesn't pick up my library

I want to set up a separate library so that my wife's ipod doesn't try to synch with my existing library. Can it be done or is it possible to install two versions of itunes on the same PC?

hi gray001,
to have separated Libraries from iTunes for your wife and you, i would recommend that you create a new second windows user account
thats the easiest way to avoid mix up of itunes content
if you create a second windows user account - itunes is already installed and only needs to be configured for your wife

My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account, but would like to have separate apps on our phones. How can I set up a separate account for her?

My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account for both our iPhones, but she wants separate apps from mine. How can I set up a second account in her name, delete the apps on her phone and start from scratch with just the apps she wants on her phone?

If you have the old phone, connect it to iTunes, right click on the device, and choose transfer purchases. If you no longer have the old phone, I don't believe there is a way to recover them, as they were on your original device.

New iMac 21.5". How can I set up a new user account with access to all the files of the original user account?

Running Mavericks on a 2013 iMac 21.5". I want to set up a second user account with different settings that meet the requirements of specific software. I need the files to be accessible by both users. I have made both the main and secondary accounts administrators. I have also enabled file sharing for both. Neither account can see the other's files in Finder.
How can I make all files accessible to both accounts? I read that administrator accounts automatically can see all files on the computer, but it is not working out that way. I have restarted the computer, to no avail.
