HT1277 Two separate log ins?

Can two people log in separately to an iPad so that they cannot see each other's email, etc?

No.
You could however use a web based mail service and access mail via the web browser, making sure to logout before passing the iPad to the next person.

How can I set up my Mac Pro so that my wife and I can use our separate iTunes accounts? I keep getting an error message that the computer is already associated with an Apple ID even though the two accounts are associated with separate log ins!

I'm getting very confused with setting up multiple user accounts on my Mac Pro for my wife and I. We each have a separate iTunes account, and we want to keep our music libraries seaprate. I've set up two user accounts on the Mac Pro and I have my iTunes authorised and logged into my user account on my user account. Under my wifes user account (i.e. a separate log in on the computer) I'm trying to set up her iTunes account, but I can't download or play anything from the cloud - it just says "This computer is already associated with another iTunes Account" and tells me that if I 'transfer' then I won't be able to use the other one for 90 days! This is really annoying as my wife can't access music she has purchased on her iTunes account on the home machine. We're not trying to do anything dodgy, just access our music on our own accounts on separate log ins on the same machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

Why can't we just have separate log ins and be done with this nonsense?

As the topic says...
This common login is supposed to be one reason why Adobe can't implement NNTP. But what function does it serve? I've commented in another thread, and below is more or less, what i said there...
That, i think, was the most assinine idea anyone ever came up with. I see no reason for not having separate log ins for store and forums / downloads. In fact, i can't think of one good reason to combine the two.
If i were a user of the Adobe store, i would definitely prefer to have a separate login and password for that area. I think most people would. I see a lot of aliases in the forums. In the store, you'd want to use your real name for tax and audit purposes. Moreover, what's to stop people creating two identities anyway? So, the whole purpose of a common id is meaningless.
Am sure, that even at this stage, it wouldn't be too difficult to separate the two. For instance, whenever i open the forums i see a welcome at the top of the screen. Right above 'Home'. Yet, i still have to login to the forums... what give? Idiotic.
Adding to the above, doing away with this single log in would also mean an end to this frustration of suddenly getting logged off, randomly staying logged in, etc., etc.

It reduces the number of accounts people have to remember. I am very
glad I do not have to have separate accounts for the Adobe site, the
WebX forums, the Fusetalk forums, the Acrobat.com site, the
Photoshop.com site, the trainers portal, the Community portal, the
Partner portal etc.
I remember the days those were all different accounts and I am glad they
are gone. I can't wait until the prerelease site and the EDS site are
fixed to work with the Adobe ID as well.
In my reply to Kaguyen, I wrote:
I agree that having a single loging procedure for all the forums was logic and necessary. However, I still completely fail to understand the logic behind tying the Adobe Store and the Forums login procedures. By its very nature, the former needs strong security measures that are not only unnecessary, but also completely absurd in a public forum. I gladly accept being logged out of my bank account and of the Adobe Store after a fixed period of inactivity. However, I see no reason for, and strongly object to, being logged out of any public forum after any period of time.
I would very much prefer remembering separate login data for each than been constantly logged out of the forums. Even more so as the login procedures currently in use were not tested properly before being implemented, and logouts occur unpredictably, including many cases where the user is active. Following your logic, why not have just one username and password for everything, including bank accounts, large stores such as Amazon, taxing purposes, etc?
But separating them just isn't going to happen. And you know it isn't,
because it isn't a technical decision but a policy choice. So I would
very much appreciate if you stopped whining and detracting attention
from issues that do stand a chance of changing.

Now this is really a gem. I do hope you are not a member of the Adobe higher quarters, and that you are not officially speaking for Adobe, because a company that isn't able to recognize and correct a bad policy decision is doomed. Also, I hope you are willing to explain to us mere mortals which of the very many issues people are (in your words) whining about do stand a chance, however slight, of changing.

Legato - creating two separate logs

Hi,
We are using Legato Networker with Oracle (running on Solaris). I need to find a way to generate TWO separate reports. One for archive logs backups and the other for the actual database backups.
I am using the NSR_RMAN_ARGUMENTS within /usr/sbin/nsrnmo_<ORACLE_SID> file which refers to a file that will store the rman report. However, when archivelogs backup occurs it will overwrite the last database backup. What I need is two report files - one for database and the other for archivelogs.
Is there a way to create two separate reports?
Many thanks

Hi,
It might be that you have to run two jobs, one to back the database and the other to backup the archives.

Two different log ins/accts

I guess I created an account in the past (never bought bought a subscription or added credit). Friday, I set up a new one & bought a US unlimited subscription. When I log into skype I log in using the new account & it shows that I have a subscription with unlimited minutes. When I click to call it brings up the old account (which does not have any subscription). I have deleted the program, deleted cookies... re installed & still it tries to connect to make calls through the old account (even when signed in under the new account name). How do I fix this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

with the other account loaded, click menu Skype >> Sign Out (or File >> Sign Out in mac). The login window will appear where you can enter the username and password of the account you want to use.

Authorize mulitiple log ins --1 computer

if i authorize a computer under my itunes account will it work for all users on that machine? My kids have different log ins on the same computer. But we all use my account

Ok thank you. So itunes needs to be open for both people at the same time in order to share? I used to use homeshare when i was in a flatshare and could access libraries even if my flatmates were not in and their computers turned off so was hoping that it would also work on separate log-ins.
And given the above out only option would be for me to import the songs i want into my library using the source folder as the same that he stores his music in on the hard-drive?

How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

Load the library which doesn't contain the songs and drag them into the open iTunes application window. If you need to move them between different computer user accounts, put them into /Users/Shared/.

Why can't two different users use Itunes on the same computer with different log ins

They can, but not at the same time.
If one user left iTunes running, and another user tries to use iTunes from a different Windows user ID, that second user will get an error message. If they really want to use iTunes, they either have to beg the first user to log in and close iTunes, or else they have to restart the computer.
If you are asking the technical reason why, it is something about context switching.

Mountain Lion has created new user log-ins and moved old Users to a separate folder

Mountain Lion has created new user log-ins and moved old Users to a separate folder.
The new users are set-up as "standard" and the old ones were "Administrators"
All files are missing, i.e. no desktop files etc. But they are located in a folder called "Users 1" which is a new folder.
Can anyone help?

Here is perhaps the solution :
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1191262
follow the "Ratatapa's" instructions.
1/ boot on Recovery part (command R)
2/ find "terminal" in disk utilities
and write "resetpassword" for root. Enter a new password for the root user.
3/ reboot as root user (or when your are login, log out and typing to open a other user "root")
in the "system pref" panel, open "users and groups" and then create new user with the same name, same password.. normally it must be asking you about "You are already an account with the same name" say yes. And it's done.
4/ Log out. re-log as the normal user. desactivated the root user.

Can a mac mini be set up to run two separate users at the same time?

I work for a middle school and we need to purchase 20 computers that will just be used to run internet apps. Though we have all Macs, we don't have a big budget and for this one use only, we are condsidering purchasing inexpensive HP all-in-ones for about $450 each. However, I was wondering if a Mac Mini can be first set up with 2 partitions, install the OS on both partitions, then run two different users, with two separate monitors and keyboards, at the same time? This way, instead of purchasing 20 Windows computers, we could purchase 10 Mac Mini's (and displays) and save money, and still be supporting just one OS throughout the campus.

If you setup a server, as in the Mac OS X Server Installation, pages 23ff show configurations, you can have multiple users, but they must all have computers. Some installations can be done with dumb terminals but that is not what you seem to want. Unix machines do have a multiple simultaneous user capability but you still have to have a computer for each user, again, not what you seem to want to do. Right now there are two other users logged in on my Sun workstation on the desk behind me...they are logged in because I permit them to do so.
And last night for an experiment I connected my iMac and MBP by ethernet wire, logged in on the iMac, then logged in on the MBP and from there on the iMac...but I set up the network to permit that and then disabled it again. You can create security holes doing things like this.
As dwb points out switching from Apple to PC equipment is a false economy that lures in administrators. In our county school system we had a superintendent who hired a good friend...who had PC-industry ties. Decided to remove all Apple equipment from the elementary schools and switch to PCs. It wasn't long before they ended up going on a 4-year cycle of "refreshing" the equipment, i.e., completely replacing all hardware in every school on a four year cycle. Since my wife was a Media Specialist, aka librarian, and responsible for technology in her school, every four years she had to develop a complete school map of where each teacher wanted the computers in their classrooms, complicated by where the technicians predetermined the locations of the network wire drops, of course. then teachers get shuffled over the summer and all the plans are for naught.
Anyway, there really isn't a solution to your problem except to buy a large number of computers and let each student use one and have them networked to a server, print server, printers, etc. This is not inexpensive and cutting corners will only cause headaches for you.

Can i use ichat between two separate macs on the same mobile me account?

Can i use ichat over two separate macs on the same mobile me account?
I have an imac at home and may be getting a macbook for work. Can i use my mobile me account to chat between the two macs or would i need a mobile me account per mac??

Hi,
No.
You need two names that can login into AIM.
In iChat you can use the Get an iChat Account which shows after you use the Plus Button in Accounts.
This will give you a free @mac.com Name
AIM Names are also free.

How do I set up two accounts with two separate mail applications?

My wife and I have two separate email accounts. At home she gets her mail on her computer and mine on my computer. While traveling I would like to be able to allow her to get her email on my laptop. I set up the 2nd account and activated it but her email comes in mixed with mine. How can I set up a separate mail program for her account?
Thanks in Advance,
Jim Conrad

Hello Jim.
As already provided, open Inbox to reveal the Inbox for each account. Selecting an account's Inbox mailbox reveals messages received by that account only in the message list. Selecting Inbox reveals a "blended" Inbox mailbox for all accounts.
The same applies to Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk in the mailboxes drawer.
If you want these accounts to be truly separate, create a login account on your iBook for your wife - with or without admin privileges. Your wife can create her email account only in Mail under her login account and you can delete her account from Mail under your login account.
This way, each others' email accounts are kept completely separate along with all other data in each other's Home folder/directory. OS X was designed for multiple users in this way.
You can enable Fast User Switching which makes the process of switching between multiple login accounts a fast and easy process.
There are some families with 4 or more family members that use a single Mac in this way. Each login account can have their own Desktop background and settings, etc., etc. so when logging in to their account the Mac seems like it is theirs only.
This link focuses on setting up separate user login accounts for kids but the effect is the same.

Can I use one Adobe ID for two separate CC Teams?

I recently got a new job, and am still doing freelance work for my past employer, who will continue to keep me as a seat in their CC membership (CC for Teams).
At my new job, they are in the process of switching over to CC. Will I have to obtain another adobe ID to be a member of their team membership, or can I use the same one that I use for my previous job?
Also, will I then have two separate Cloud folders? How will this affect desktop sync? Will I have to log in and out using the CC app?
Any and all insight into this area would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes.
Cheers,

My wife and I both have iPads and two separate iTunes accounts, and do NOT want to share apps

My wife and I share one MacBook. We both each have an iPad and we each have our own indvidual iTunes accounts. That is we have two separate individual iPads and two separate iTunes accounts. I do not want her apps on my iPad, and she does not want my apps on her iPad.
When my wife tries to update her apps on her iPad, it shows my user ID and requests my password. It does not even give her an option to put in her own iTunes account ID and password. This happens even though she is clearly logged in on her iPad under Settings --> Store with her own iTunes account, and have the same setup on my iPad (my own user ID and password for my iTunes account). I do not have this problem on my iPad.
How do we keep our apps separate? This is very annoying!
Thanks!

There's info here on setting up separate libraries and user accounts. You won't have to reload (or re-import) all the music, just copy it.
The reason I suggest separate accounts on the Mac is because if you have the two libraries under the same user account, iTunes will also open the last library that was open in that account, and you'll always have to be mindful of which library that is. If you open iTunes and find it's not your library, you'll have quit, relaunch holding the option key and select the other library.
No, you won't have to log in and out of the Mac. (If I'm understanding your question here.) Multiple accounts can be logged in at the same time. And with fast user switching, you can toggle between user accounts.
I'll admit that maintaining the two libraries gets a little tricky, because if you share all the same music, you'll have to add it to one and update the other. (That won't happen automatically.) But I think Home Sharing makes this much easier to do.
Hope that helps!
