How do I set up itunes for a user account on my windows machine so that it starts?

Hi,
My laptop was recently fitted with Windows Enterprise Edition.  I have a regular user account, and also a local administrator account.  I can get iTunes to run on my windows machine as an administrator, but not as a user.  All my calendar entries and contacts are in my user account, and I want to be able to start iTunes in that account.  What settings do I need to change?
Thanks,
Euan

Hi Diesel,
Many thanks for your reply. I have been doing that, but running it as an administrator means that my calendar info is not synced. I get a blank calendar on my iPad.  I need to be able to set it up so that users can run it in their own accounts. There must be a way to do this?
Kind regards,
Euan

  • How do i enable office applications for all user accounts on the same machine?

    Hi All,
    I just purchased a new MBA and Office Hame & Business. Coming from the windows world I thought that one installation of office should be available to all accounts that I set up on the same machine.  I set-up the user accounts then installed office 2011 for MAC and tried to access office from my daughters account -> can not locate office?  Does MS expect that you need to purchase a separate copy of office for each user on the same machine??  I also don't want to waste precious harddrive space in the MBA to have separate copies of the same application installed.
    Any help would be appreciated....
    Andrew

    One install allows all your users to use Office.  All your users have access to the Applications folder where the office apps are installed.  Do you see the office folder from your daughters account in applications?

  • How do I set up iTunes for multiple Windows identities?

    We are a family of 5, all with separate Windows XP identities on the same PC.  Each has an iPod, and several of us have additional devices (iPhone, iPad, iTouch, iMac).  Everyone has their own email addresses.  But right now, every device is using a single instance of iTunes, and they are all using my email address. With stuff being shared with iCloud, I am thinking that now is the time to segregate everyone into their own iTunes accounts.
    How do I accomplish this, in such a way that all our tunes and apps can still be shared?  It is as easy as setting up iTunes on each person's Windows identity and then linking that new instance of iTunes to the folders where the music and apps are?
    Asking before I do this because I really don't want to screw this up.  Thanks to all - in advance - for you help and suggestions.

  • I am so completely confused with how to best set up iTunes for family use

    Okay, I'm literally going crazy trying to get my Apple "ecosystem" set up. First, I'll try and explain my setup and then what I'm hoping to accomplish.
    My setup:
    1) Mac Mini - this is where my "master" iTunes library resides. iTunes Store is logged in with our single Apple ID that we use for all iTunes & App Store purchases. This Mac Mini also is where we store all of our photos within iPhoto.
    2) My wife and I each have an iPhone which is set up for wireless syncing to iTunes.
    3) My wife and I each have MacBook Pros.
    Here's what's working:
    1) Sharing all of the iTunes music and iPhoto pictures to my AppleTV (3rd generation) - This is working as expected.
    Here's what's I want to accomplish:
    1) We would like to be able to make purchases from the iTunes or App Store from either our Mac Mini, iPhones or MacBook Pros using our single Apple ID and have these purchases be available to all of our devices including the iPhones, MacBook Pros, Mac Mini and AppleTV.
    Ultimately, all of our purchases should physically reside on our Mac Mini where we sync the songs & apps we want to our iPhones wirelessly. What I'm finding out, is that purchases made on our iPhones and MacBooks will not download to the Mac Mini iTunes library. iTunes on the Mac Mini shows the purchases but when I try and download them I get a message that says "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID". I figured since iTunes on the Mac Mini is logged in with the single Apple ID I would be all set. What does this message mean?
    I'm sure to have some follow-up questions but I'm hoping to get this process started with this one first. Thanks for any help or advice you can provide.

    Maybe this will help:

  • How do you set default programs for all users when deploying Windows 8.1?

    I have my Windows 8.1 image set up the way I want including the start screen, theme, etc. But how can I set the default programs for all users. Most of out computers are non-touch and I want the desktop apps (e.g. Windows Photo Viewer), not the store apps
    to be the default for opening pictures, videos, etc. Can that be done?

    Great question, this has been bugging me too!
    So, I did some research by using "Set Default Programs" app in Windows 8. Then I ran the super ProcMon.exe tool from Sysinternals.com <Thanks Mark!>
    After filtering out the junk, I could see some *interesting* writes to the registry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\UserChoice]
    "Hash"="57y87/ogggU="
    "ProgId"="PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Jpeg"
    But the "Hash" part had me concerned. I did some internet searching for the hash, and came across a post and a pointer to a blog with some answers.  This is both good news and bad.
    Background:
    One of the problems with Windows XP is that any program can come in and party on the entire system. No, I don't want you to put a shortcut on the desktop, install a crappy IE Toolbar, and change the default file association for *.jpg files to your app, I
    just wanted to play a stupid game. Since Windows 7, Microsoft has been attempting to block that functionality from the stupid applications, and give them back to the user. Take note of the last line in the ITaskbarList3 interface:
       Applications cannot programmatically pin themselves to the taskbar. That functionality is reserved strictly for the user.
    Of course that sucks for us IT Pros who may wish to create *default* working environments for corporate images, but there are some tricks we can do.
    Solution:
    This blog appears to have the answer:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/mrmlcgn/archive/2013/02/26/windows-8-associate-a-file-type-or-protocol-with-a-specific-app-using-a-gpo-e-g-default-mail-client-for-mailto-protocol.aspx
    New for Windows 8 is a dism command: /Get-DefaultAppAssociations that allows you to export a control case from a known good computer. Microsoft the supports importing the exported xml file via GPO. For example, before I changed the file association, .AVI
    was pointing to the Modern App, after the change the /export-DefaultAppAssociations shows change to the new app:
    From:
    <Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="AppXhjhjmgrfm2d7rd026az898dy2p1pcsyt" ApplicationName="Video" />
    To:
    <Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="VLC.avi" ApplicationName="VLC media player" />
    I am still doing some investigation to see if a GPO is required, or if you can inject the association into a local user account. Also, if you do have some Modern Windows 8 Touch Tablets, it would recomend keeping most of the Modern App defaults in place,
    perhaps seperate GPO's for Desktops/Laptops vs Tablets?

  • How do I set Premiere preferences for all users - University lab machine?

    I am setting up an editing suite for our University which has a "per machine" Creative Cloud licence. It is a PC installation. This machine will be used by a class of students who will log in with their own credentials. I need to set the preferences for Premiere (video output, workspace layout, default drives etc) so that it will be the same for all users logging in since we want a consistent setup for teaching purposes and dont want to have to help each student set up so that it shows correctly on the monitors. Is there a way of saving this setting as the default for every user?
    The most important one is the preferences - Playback in order to set up the second monitor.

  • How can I share my iTunes library between user accounts in iTunes 11

    Since upgrading my iTunes library to Version 11 I can no longer share the library between user accounts on the same Mac.
    The 2nd user is asked to create oir use an iTunes library, but when it is pointed to the Media folder it cannot share it.
    Previously in iTunes 10 it all worked fine.

  • How To Change Default Expiration Date for Portal User in Linux and Windows?

    Hello,
    I have a couple of environments I recently installed:
    1. Oracle Application Server 10 Release 2 (10.1.2) SEOne on Windows
    2. Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) Enterprise Edition on Linux
    I heard the portal and orcladmin user passwords will expire in about 60 days. I want to prevent this from happening. How can I set the expiration date to never expire for both these users? Or at least give me some warning?
    I heard that you can do this through the Oracle Directory Manager. However, I am unsure as which server to enter on the field. I've used the following:
    <servername>.hostname.com/389
    <DBname>.hostname.com/389
    They say 389 is the default port. Since I did not really
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    You have the answer in yours hands:
    Search for "60 days" in the forum
    How can I enfore Password Expiry Without Lockout?
    for instance.
    For the servername, it's the name of your server and the port is depending of your platform (have a look to $ORACLE_HOME_INFRA/install/portlist.ini) and

  • How can I change Aperture permissions for new user account

    I migrated my old user account (Ezra) to my new Mac mini from my old MBP laptop, but it would not allow me to keep the same name, (Ezra) so I picked a new one (Karyn). The problem is that now I can't access any of my other Aperture Libraries on my external storage array (Drobo) due to permissions errors. What is the best course of action to get back to working with Aperture? Is there a way to change an existing user account name to match what it used to be? I want the (Ezra) account from the Mac mini to eventually migrate to a freshly purchased Macbook Air later, then I could delete it from the Mac mini to rid the problem of duplicate user account names.

    Sounds like when you installed the new system you created a user account on it and then used migration assistant to copy over the files from the old system,. IS this correct?
    If so you will have other problems down the road with other applications also. The best thing to so if you still have the old system and have not done to much work on the new system  is to redo the install and use setup assistant. This way your old account will be brought over to the new system and you will not have permissions problems.
    You can try one thing. Do a Get Info on the Drobo Drive and see if at the bottom of the Info window you see this:
    If that is there for the drive (and I don;t know if the Drobo will have this option) you can select the box and you might be able to get at your libraries.
    As I wrote however, even of you fix this problem there is a good chance you will run into others later on.

  • HT5622 how do i set a password for a game account

    being asked to set a game account password...how do i do that

    Hi Dennis,
    The password (to protected unauthorized access) to your wireless network is set on your wireless router. Typically most routers come with a setup wizard, either that involves running an installation sequence (via CD/DVD) or by connecting to the router via a web-based control panel and configuring the router that way. In addition to setting a password to access the network you'll also want to set a username/password for accessing the router to perform administrative tasks.
    You'll want to consult the manufacturer of your router for additional setup assistance, or the manual/quick start guide that came with the product.

  • How to restrict External Drive access in other user accounts

    I just purchased an external HD and moved my iTunes and iPhoto libraries to it. No problem there.
    My Mac mini has four user accounts and I'd like to set the permissions on the external HD so that only I can write to it from my account. I'm attempting to do this through 'Get Info' on the external drive, then setting Sharing & Permissions to 'Read and Write' for myself and 'Read only' for the other three accounts. But it seems that when I set one of these it gets set for all four accounts.
    Am I doing something wrong trying to set the permissions this way, or, is there a better way to do it?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    I didn't realize you could set the privileges for other user accounts in the 'Get Info' box from my account. I added the names of the other three accounts and set them to 'Read Only' but I am still able to delete files from the drive when I'm logged into those accounts.
    What I'm trying to do is set it up so that either (1) they can't accidentally delete files from the external disk or (2) they can't even see the disk at all from those accounts. I would have thought that 'Read Only' would not allow them to delete files, but with the privilege set to 'Read Only' I'm still able to delete files from the disk.
    Maybe I'm missing a step? Or maybe there's another way to do it?
    Thanks,
    Andy
