How to manage two users?

I would like help with a very basic question. We have a MacPro, a new iMac, and a MacBook, each of which has a user account for myself and for my wife. I am considering buying an iPad to use when we travel instead of the MacBook. I understand that with an iPad one cannot establish two or more user accounts as can be done on a computer. However, is there a reasonably convenient way for two people to share an iPad? Specifically, could each access their iCloud based accounts for contacts and calendars? I use .Mac mail, but my wife uses Hotmail, so there is not a problem there. Bookmarks would probably also be a problem. On the computers I use Safari and my wife uses Firefox, but I understand that Firefox will not run on an iPad. Traveling with two iPads would defeat my goal of lighter; in that case I may as well stick with the MacBook. Any clarifications of how an iPad would or would not work for us will be greatly appreciated.

Hi bobio,
Your understanding is correct. Only one iCloud account can be on the iPad at any given time. And the only way to change to another one would be to delete the one that was there initially, so really not something you'd want to do.
You are also correct about the browser - Firefox does not have a browser version that will run on an IOS device - so no Firefox on the iPad.
Like the iPhone, the iPad is not a multi-user device. So maybe you will need to stick with the Mac.
One suggestion, however, if you are looking for lighter - not sure what type of Mac you have, but if you do not have the Macbook Air, I would say you might want to look into an 11" version of the Air. It is small, light, and very portable....
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

How to manage multiple users/devices/Apple IDs on a single computer

I got my 8 year old an iPad mini for Christmas and I'm about to set it up but I need some advice on using multiple IDs on one computer. I have an iPhone 4s. I assume I will need another Apple ID for the iPad mini so she can use Facetime. How do you manage two devices with different IDs on one computer? Will my movies and music be available for the iPad mini ID? What happens when I plug the iPad into my computer? Do my iPhone apps on my account disappear? Do I need to log out of my iTunes store account? Is their a danger in mixing the two accounts? I was told to be careful if you plug another iPhone into your computer because it can wipe your phone and replace it with another users info if you don't log out/in correctly. It's very confusing so if anyone could give me some advice on how to set this up and manage two IDs and devices on one computer it would be helpful. Thanks:)

This should be of some help.
How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer
Your daughter is too young to have an Apple ID because the minimum age is 13 years old. You can use her email address for FaceTime and Messages. You add the address as the contact address when you activate both of those apps. But both apps will still have to be tied to your Apple ID.
I was managing 5 different devices with one iTunes library and all devices had their own unique content on them. It is not that difficult to manage.
there is lots and lots of information out there on how to do this. Check some of these out for more information.

How to manage two viewstacks with one linkbar?

hello all,
I currently am creating my website utilizing flex and have come across a roadblock. I need a single linkbar to manage two viewstacks but cannot figure out how to do this so far. i have tried using both id's in the dataProvider but the only one it manages is the last input. please advise how to do this or another way in which i can accomplish what i am trying to do.
for your information: one viewstack will be for the pages of the site and the other will be for banners on each page. I cannot put the banners in the viewstack because they will be larger than the pages
here is some of the code:
<mx:LinkBar x="10" y="116" dataProvider="{body, ads}" fontSize="18" height="29">
</mx:LinkBar>
when i run the application i do not receive any errors however the only viewstack that changes is the ads or vice versa if i have body last.

Sure, user a Timer:

How to manage two sites from iWeb

Hi all
I've built two different sites with iWeb, my personal site which goes to my .mac server and publishes there, no problem. I now have built another site for my girlfiends family business, and theirs will go to a differente host and server.
The problem I have is that I have both sites now open, each with their own individual pages, etc (they both appear on the left column as headers), but I can't seem to isolate them for publishing purposes. In other words, I'd like to publish my site to .mac, and my girlfriends site to my hard drive for eventual upload to their server.
When I go to publish, whether I select .mac or my hard drive (publish to another folder) it selects both sites at the same time, I.e. I can't publich them individually.
The problem is that I end up with a copy of my personal webpage files on my hard drive, and a copy of their webpage files on my .mac!
A further problem I see is that this publishing process creates just one index.html file, for both pages. So how can I use this html file to point it to their domain??
Appreciate the help, thanks
J

J:
To add another method to the mix here's how I manage multiple sites. Although they all go to my .Mac account this method can let me post any of them to any other server as I see fit.
One way to handle multiple sites is to use iWebSites. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files. If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want to where I want.

How to manage two skype numbers on one account?

I'm considering getting a second number to use for work. I understand that's easy. What I can't find in help is how to manage each separately.
I see one post saying that Skype hasn't added a way to tell which number is being called. Has that changed?
The other question is: Can I set one to go to vmail automatically while the other receives calls? For instance, after hours I want to "turn off" the business number and leave the home number accepting calls. Is that possible?

Unfortunately, Skype Numbers do not work as you describe.
While we are allowed to start up to ten (10) Skype Number subscriptions per Skype account, being affiliated with the same account, will behave as if all ten numbers are actually only one number. What to do?
ithinktfiam wrote:

Create a new Skype account to use for Skype Number intended for business use, and use another Skype Number as a personal or home account. Nothing changes as far as the cost of the Skype Numbers is concerned, however what changes by using each Skype Number on a different Skype Account is that you can control each number separately.
All that said, unfortunately Skype's mobile platforms do not support being logged in to two Skype accounts simultaneously. The Windows Desktop platform does, however doing the same on a Mac is not supported, and the work-around is messy at best.
Not so sure I helped much, here!

How to turn two users into one?

Hey there!
As I selled my MBP last month I copied all its datas to my iMac via migration assistant and created a new user for it. So I have now two accounts with different photos, documents etc.
My problem now is how to turn these two users into one?
I want all my photos appear in Aperture of my first user, I want all my documents appear in "Documents" of the first user and so on..
Is it able? If yes, how could I realize it?
Thanks for your support!
René
PS: 2 Users on iMac -> 1 User on iMac.

Thanks for your help at first.
But you usually can't "merge" two "normal" user accounts successfully. If both accounts have data for the same application, it will be very difficult or impossible to merge them by copying files & folders.
I cannot merge them.. So there is the question how to copy all medias from Aperture to my other Aperture medias?
Can I export my whole medias and import in at the other users Aperture? And how? #
Edit: I dont want to have two different libraries at all.. I want them to be together in just one..

How to merge two user accounts?

I have two user accounts I would like to merge into one. What would be the easiest way to go about doing this? I am mostly concerned about moving files, including preferences files, handling the mail accounts and browers bookmarks shouldn't be too troublesome for me.
Thanks

My favourite way to move files from Account A to Account B:
1) Log in to the A account.
2) Locate all the files you want to move. Move them to /Users/A/Public. Note: Don't move any System-created top-level folders, like Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies, etc. Just move their contents.
3) Log in to the B account.
4) Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public. Drag the files to the Desktop. This will make new copies of them that will have the correct permissions for User B.
5) Put the new copies of the files away in the appropriate places in B's home folder.
6) Delete the A user account if it is no longer needed.
Doing it this way will ensure that there are no permissions headaches with the files after they are moved.
Also, make sure that you BACK UP all of your data before starting.

There's no simple way to merge two accounts. What you can do is log into the account that you want to move (and, presumably, delete) and put all of the data into the Shared folder. Then log into the account that you want to keep and put all the documents, music, etc., from the 'old' account into the keeper account/ Log back into the old account and make sure that all your data is gone, then log back into the keeper account and delete the old account.
It's pretty simple, really, if you just use the Shared folder to move documents.

How to manage two internal hard drives

I just got my new iMac 27" with two internal hard drives (256gb SSD and 1Tb). When I migrated from my old computer it moved everything to the SSD drive. Are there some instructions somewhere to manage this and move things to the proper drive and have the info show up in my PLACES section in finder?

When you get the 27"iMac with the SSD, OS X comes installed on the SSD; so the migration assistant would naturally move applications to the SSD, including the contents of your user folder.
If you want to copy or move files/folders to the 1TB SATA drive you can do this any time in the Finder. Just don't move the +/Applications, /Library, /System+ or /Users folders
Can't tell from your post what you want showing in Places, but you can put any folder in the Places section of the Finder - just drag the folder there and it will show up in Places. The items in Places are just references - you can add or delete them at any time; it doesn't affect the actual location of the folder(s).

How to Merge two user accounts(duplicate accounts) in SharePoint 2013?

Hello,
There are 2-3 user accounts with the same name. I want to merge those accounts in one account with only one name. How to do it in SharePoint 2013? Is there any PowerShell command or script to do that?
Please Guide.
chirag

Hi chirag,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to merge the user accounts which have duplicated names in SharePoint 2013.
Were there duplicated user accounts in Active Directory?
If not, the user may had two accounts in AD and one of the accounts that doesn't exist anymore is still used in SharePoint.
Please check if there is any permission assignment to this user, remove all their assignments and add them again only for the valid account.
Here is a similar issue for you to take a look:

How to Manage Multiple Users' Playlists

Hi - Can someone tell me the best way to manage playlists from more than one user on a single computer running Windows XP. In my case, I have four people in my house using a single computer. Each person has their own iPod and there own iTunes library. I would like to be able to download my own library plus one other person's music library (not all four) onto my iPod. I figured out a way to do this some time ago but it seemed clunky and I almost lost alot of music. Can someone explain the "right" way to do this? Thanks...

You are doing what I do at home. My music is stored on a network drive though.
This is one of the recommended methods for people to manage different iPods. The most important consideration now is whether you are using users accounts or if everyone is running as admin. Also, where the files are store matters. If you are using default location the it will be /user/My Documents/My Music/iTunes.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432
As long as a user can access files in the other users' folder then all you have to do is use the add file or add folder function to add the files to your own library.

How to manage two quantity of two unit in process order?

Hi Guys
In our plant, we have actived the catch weight management. For products A, we have set the standard conversion relation as follow: 1 EA (basic of unit)= 2.5 KG (production unit).
But when I create the process order for products A, I only can input the quantity of production unit(1000KG) and the quantity of basic of unit cannot be inputted. It will be calculate by standard conversion relation. Now I want to create the process order by using two quantity of two unit(1100KG 400EA). Because we want to see the production plan by using two unit.
Is there some method to do it?

Hi,
maintain the unit of conversion in Units of conversion in Material master in addition data..from PC to CAR..here base UOM is PC. CAR alternate UOM.
Now in material master in work scheduling view maintain CAR as production Unit as shown below..
Now when u create process order you will get like this..
Thanks

How to combine two user prompts into 1 single prompt from two Webi Queries

Hi All,
I developed a single webi report from two different queries on top of 2 BW OLAP universe .
Here I have one user input prompt for each query so I want to combine them into one single user input promt which should pass the user input value to both the Webi queries feeding data to the single webi report.
I found that the webi doc has auto checked merge dimensions enabled but it is not providing combined resluts from both the queries .
Any inputs are greatlt appreciated.
Thanks

Stratos
Firstly ,I appreciate your responses for my two questions.
Both the prompts I am using are from the masterdata and they are similar.data types.I think the transactional data is not available in BW for one of the prompt ,hence I am not getting consistent data.
Anyway will do further investigation in finding similarities and let you know.
Thanks a lot
