How do you establish multiple users and accounts with TM?

I"ve had great success with TM. I have a Macbook Pro and an iMAC which are working well with TM, but recntly bought my wife a Macbook and want to also connect it to TM.
How do you establish unique logins from each MAC to TM so users only have access to their data? I can setup my new Macbook with TM but it appears to only take the user/password that I have already established; can I have more than one user/password established on TM or do all users have to share the same account?

How do you setup a user mobile account, with the home directory stored locally and not synced to the server?

I want to be able to setup a user mobile account, with the home directory stored locally and not synced to the server. What is the best way to do this? I am running Server 10.6 with 10.6 clients. Open Directory will be used to authenticate and manage preferences. Also, this one account will be used simultaneosly in a computer lab setting, so files will be stored locally in the client, hence the need to NOT sync to the server. Any Ideas?

How do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

how do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

I have multiple IDs and use the single computer sharing itunes. By 'sharing' I mean we open the pc, open itunes and log in with our individual ID as required.
While Im logged in I plug in my device. I transfer my purchases from my device as per the file menu (not the check for auto downloads). I move them as required to whichever playlist I like.
Then when my son wants to use itunes or update his device, he logs in, plugs in his device, transfers purchases from his device, puts whatever music he wants into his playlist and/or drags direct to the device regardless of who purchased it and then syncs.
Im not sure how it works associating the pc with only one ID or all that other business- I know I don't fiddle with any of that.

How do you manage multiple users, iTunes and icloud

I haven't figured this out yet. I have an iTunes account, two daughters who buy most of the music on it but we all share the account. We all have Macbooks and iPhone 4 or 4S. I don't want to download their music and they don't want to download mine. How do we blend iTunes, iCloud and our phones and Macs without so much cross-pollination? I already have music in my library that has been downloaded since I got my new iPhone and activated iCloud and it's music they purchased.

How do you setup multiple users with multiple devices on itunes?

I'm trying to find the easiest solution to our family music situation. 4 users, 4 devices (ipods, ipad, imac, pc laptops), and 4 different musical song interests. I'm sure there are millions of households that have the same exact situation. I want to be able to pull up only my musical library, not my kid's music, and then easily synch it to my ipod. Everyone in the family wants to do this same thing. I have spent alot of time trying to search the forums/internet and there does not seem to be one "most popular" solution. I did setup iCloud for each family member using a different Apple ID than my main Apple ID, and I'm happy that ALL the music shows up on my ipad. But between iCloud, MobileMe, Home Sharing it all gets very confusing. Some say to setup multiple computer login accounts, and others say to setup 1 playlist for each family member and synch from that playlist.
I would think 1 itunes account allows you to easily share a purchased song with 4 users, instead of buying songs twice.
So here are a few of my questions-
1-Is it best to have only 1 itunes account and then synch all devices off of 1 main computer?
2-Or since we each have iCloud accounts, will they be able to synch their ipods from their own pc laptop?
3-And when they synch, what is the easiest way to exclude other users music in itunes? (other than unchecking hundreds of artists)
4-Or setup 4 separate computer login accounts on the imac and then keep 1 itunes account? If so, how does this work when they open itunes?
Again, I'm hoping for a straightforward simple solution. I don't want to move & create libraries, download 3rd party software, etc. etc. Please reply if you found something that works for your family. Thanks in advance.

turingtest, I do have a couple questions.
Number one, does everyone in your family only sych their ipods from only 1 computer? If everyone only uses itunes from 1 computer I can see how that will work. But what if kids want to use itunes for windows? Will "Home Sharing" allow all their music purchased on the MAC, to be also displayed on their itunes for windows laptop? I noticed you have PCs and also an ipad. How do you manage your family's music on these devices?
Also, how did you first get everyone's music library into their own library? Drag & drop? Is the "grouping field" you mentioned under "view", then "view options"? What does this do?
Thanks.
Sorry I missed your post earlier. Normally I follow up on any replies. This one must have fallen off the page on a busy day.
As my kids have left home I have created for them a complete clone of the familiy library, then deleted the tracks from it they don't want. Over time their libraries will divirge, but if needs be they can still update their devices using the library at home. Handy when eldest's kit was stolen.
Grouping is just another property, useful because it isn't generally overwritten by other software but is stored in the tags, so preserved when you copy files from one place to another. You can make the column visible and edit for multiple tracks in Get Info. Some software calls the same field "mood" or "sub-genre". iTunes has a specialist purpose for it generally used with classical music, but it doesn't seem to work very well for that and I don't use it that way.

How iTunes works managing multiple iPhones and iTunes with same account

My wife and I each have our own computers using the same iTunes and Amazon account. I want to know how the download rules work...
For apps
For music
For books
I know that Kindle books appear on both.
I know that you can share music between 5 (?) different devices. Can't remember how that is done right now...
It appears that an app bought on one computer or iPhone must be paid for again on the other. True?
Where is the best place on the Apple site to see answers to these types of questions?

Your iTunes account can be authorised on up to 5 computers at any one time (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420). You can also use home sharing so as to share your content between computers or to listen/watch content on your iOS devices : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 (you can also copy music between computers via home sharing)
As long as you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy/download them then you don't have to pay to re-download (or download on different computers/devices) past purchases of apps or ibooks (or music if you are in the USA) as long as they are still available in the store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
You can also manually copy music/apps/ibooks/films/tv shows between computers and then do File > Add File To Library (or Add Fold) in iTunes so as to add them.

How do I add multiple Game Center accounts with one Apple ID and one device(I phone 4s)

I Need help adding more then one Game Center account to my iphone and I don't want to make a new Apple ID please help and thanks to all who answer.

After 2 hours worth of searching with no answer, I decided to run a test and it worked. This is what I did to have multiple Game Center IDs on iOS7. (People responding may have over looked this detail because they assumed it was obvious, but it wasn't)
Answer: you MUST have multiple Apple ID accounts, however, you use the main one to log in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE.
1. I deleted the Alternate Email Address associated with my account
2. I created an entire new Apple ID with this email address
3. I login in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE with my original Apple ID (credit card on file)
4. I login to Game Center, iCloud, etc... with my kid's NEW Apple ID
So purchasing still goes under our shared account and game center, iCloud, etc... go under my kid's Apple ID.
^ ^ ^ ^ This is the simple straight forward answer I was looking for ^ ^ ^ ^

How do you match the audio and text with the typer writer effect in Final Cut Pro?

I am making a video and I want to sync up the text with the audio using the typer writer effect. For example I want when the music makes a bing noise I want a letter to pop up. How do you set the exact time for each letter that comes up instead of just choosing the duration.
Thank you!!!!
Virginia

The most common cause is user error in understanding how these things are recorded in the acquisition system. You've got to first determine in it's easily solved by properly transcoding or if you're actually just seeing a display lag. Mismatched sync is based on different timebase scales so the offset gets worse the longer a clip plays.
The most common solution is to unlink the components, time them precisely to the frame, and change the speed of one component to match precisely the length of the other. It's easy and usually results in a slight pitch change that is indiscernible.
But you want to figure out the cause, not just he solution, so you can fix it in production instead of in post.

HT2534 How do you create an apple ID account with no credit card. HELP!!!

There is no 'none' button for selecting a method payment when creating an apple ID account. HELP!!!

Did you follow, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from when creating the account ? I've just tried those instructions and got the 'none' option on a new account
You could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you review that account without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
If not, and if you don't want to enter credit card details (you should be able to remove them after entering them) then you will need to create a new account, using the instructions on the HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

How do you stop multiple users executing the same calc script at the same time?

We have an issue when users uplaod a spreadsheet and then run a calc script. at one time we have multiple exectuions of the script running.
This slows up the system and we have to go cancel all the executions and run it again.
Can we stop this and put them on a queue, so only one execution of the calc happens at one time. Or stop multiple executions getting submitted at all.

You could use EXCLUSIVECALC to stop more than one calc running at the same time, although this will apply to all applications on your server. And it doesn't just stop the same calc being launched twice. Easier than the alternatives I can think of though, if it works for you.

How do you allow multiple users share a common folder that is on the doc?

I'm coming from many years as an OS 8.6 user. My family expects me to wade though all of the documentation and figure out how to make using the computer easy. One feature they liked was the way I set up the Apple Menu so that only the programs were listed. The categories were Applications, Diversions, Internet, and Utilities. This masked all of the other stuff that may have been associated with a program from them.
I would like to do the same in OS X (10.4.7). So, in /users/shared I created a folder named of all things "Apple Menu". In this folder I've created new folders for Applications, Diversions, Internet, and Utilities. Into these folders I placed aliases to the various programs. I then took this folder and dragged it to the Doc. On my Doc, with I control click the "Apple Menu" folder, I see my folder names with drop downs listing all of the aliases just like in OS 8.6. Unfortunately, on the other user accounts after dragging the folder /users/shared/apple menu to the Doc, they can only see aliases to files that came with the system. They can not see any of the new files that I've added. How do I set this up so that I maintain one folder of the aliases to various programs and yet every account can see all of these aliases?
I don't want the Doc cluttered with applications that are not used all of the time. At the same time I don't want to have to navigate to some sub-directory and scan a list of files looking for the application everytime I want to run it. The rest of my family members would go nuts. As a matter of fact, I think I would also. I liked the Apple Menu in OS 8.6. I think this Doc folder thing might just work, if I can get past this security/permissions issue.
Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the suggestions offered so far, but they don't get to the root of the issue. I only want to maintain one, and only one, "Apple Menu" folder. I'm not looking to restrict user access. I'm trying to streamline user access for those who are not comfortable navigating down 2 or 3 or more levels of directories looking for the "applications". As Administrator I do this at the time an application is installed and place an alias to the application in the appropriate "Apple Menu" folder so that my family members can quickly and easily access it.
I built the "Apple Menu" folder and placed it in /user/shared. I also built all of the aliases to the applications and placed them in the appropriate sub folder of "Apple Menu". I've chosen, "Applications", "Diversions", "Internet", and "Utilities" as the sub folders.
Some of the aliases, while logged into a non-administrator account do not show up in the "Apple Menu" while others do. For example TextEdit appears while TextWrangler, which I installed does not. I thought that only programs that I installed are not showing up, but this is not true. I installed Reunion and this program is visible from the non-administrator accounts. Yet I can navigate to the item not appearing in the "Apple Menu" and launch it.
The top folder's owner is myself, the group is "wheel" and it has read permission, and everyone has read permission. I've made myself and the other users members of the group wheel. And I've propogated these values down the folder hierarchy starting at "Apple Menu". I would like to know why this isn't working?
Though Classic Apple Menu and XMenu sound like good alternatives in each case I would be responsible for setting these applications up in each environment. I only want to do this set up once as administrator and know that all of system's users have access to this information from the Dock.
Is there some kind of installation step missing that is not permitting these aliases from being seen by all of the system's users?
Again, thanks for the advice,
Joe

How do you use multiple apple id's with messages beta?

With the wife and myself each having our own apple Id's for imessage because of multiple iphones/ipads, how do we make messages beta on the mac work for us? I tried logging in as me when I installed it and it works just fine with me messaging her and her back to me but how do I log out from me and log in as her if she were the one sitting at the mac? I don't see anything that lets me do that.

hmm, that's a trick one! what I would do is go to Messages>preferences>accounts and then select imessages and then select account details and then sign out. Then your wife will need to sign in with her apple id.
hope this helps!!
let me know if that works because I've never actually tried it.
simply adding both of your accounts to be reached at will prove to be faulty because when you reply you can only reply with the one email address. And even if you switch caller id's it probably still won't work. So I think my method would be the easiest way to do that at this time.
