HT1386 synced with a another user account

When I tried to re-sync my iPhone 4S in iTunes and I click the boxes to sync contacts and calendar I get a message saying that this is synced with a another user account.  I only know about one account I have which I used to sync this up before any help please

This issue has been around for literally years and apple unfortunately seems to be doing nothing about it. The only way to solve it is literally to back up all of the information on your iphone. Wipe it and start again. If anyone at apple would like to give us a better way to do it please do!

  • ITunes settings reset with every new version, and I get: "...the information on the iphone is synced with another user account"

    Windows 7 64-bit with MS Outlook 2010. I've seen this now probably 10 times. When I first installed iTunes, I selected:
    Preferences -> Devices -> "Prevent iPhonse, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically".
    and on my iPhone, I selected:
    Info -> Sync Contacts with: Outlook.
    Info -> Sync Calendars with: Outlook
    Info -> Other -> Sync notes with: Outlook
    This works great, and the settings stick.  As soon as apple releases any new version (even minor) of iTunes and I install, I immediately receive: "...the information on the iphone is synced with another user account", and have to merge my calendar and contacts, but then once I get into iTunes, I find that ALL of the above settings (prevent syncing, sync calendar, contacts, notes) get reset and are turned off! I am running as a user account with Admin privaleges, but I don't right-click -> "Run as administrator" when I perform the iTunes update.
    To reiterate, once I change the settings back, things work normally until the next iTunes update at which it gives me that sync error, and resets my sync options.
    Any idea? Thanks!

    Is someone else using the PC and iTunes?
    Create another user for the PC with your name, and try syncing that way.
    This way it wont conflic with the other user.

  • Synced to another user account??

    After updating iTunes I get an error message when trying to sync my iPod Touch to my PC (Outlook).   It says I'm synced to another user account and asks if I want to merge or replace info.  I'm afraid to do either - not sure if I will lose all my info or duplicate all of it!
    After searching the forums, I can't find any official response from Apple to many similar questions over the years.

    Not sure what you are expecting.  Apple already gave you the official response.  Here it is again:

  • Aperture 3 - share library with another user account?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to share the aperture library with my wife (another user account on the same computer).
    I started to give her permissions to the file in <My User>/Pictures/Aperture Library. but it kept having permissions issues. So i changed the library to /Users/Shared and gave both of our users full read write permissions... but i keep having the same permissions error.
    I know that we can't both access the lib at the same time but even though, accessing the same library would be a major breakthrough for us.
    What am i doing wrong??
    Please help

    This is what I did, and I did not get permission errors.
    1. Use Aperture 3.02 to create a new aperture library in the Shared Folder. I called it *Aperture Share.aplibrary*.
    2. I added a few pictures just for fun.
    3. Quit Aperture.
    4. Go to the Finder and set File Privileges to Everyone Read/Write on the *Aperture Share.aplibrary* file.
    5. Using Fast User Switching, switch to another user.
    6. Open Aperture 3.02.
    7. Switch to Library... >>Other/New...>>Other Library...>> . Navigate and select the *Aperture Share.aplibrary*.
    That worked for me without permission problems.
    Another question. Are all your pictures stored in an Aperture Library? If you have any pictures that are just referenced in the Aperture Library, this would most likely lead to permission errors.

    I understand this product comes with 2 licences but am hoping to retain the extra for another pc.

  • Failing to create an email with outlook interop when outlook has been opened by another user account

    Hello
    I have an addin that customizes the excel ribbon. I added a button so that when the user clicks it, a new outlook message windows pops up with some default information on the email body, CCs, etc.
    The problem is that if outlook is already running and it's running under another user account different from the one that was used to open excel (e.g. after opening excel i open outlook with shift + right click and then "Run As..."); i get an exception upon
    instantiating the outlook interop object:
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application();
    The exception message reads:
    Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80080005 Server execution failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080005 (CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE)).
    What can i do to prevent this issue from happening?
    Thanks

    In that situation I would test first for an existing Outlook process running and hook into it if it is running. If it's not running then I'd use new to create an Outlook session. There can only be one Outlook session running
    at a time.
    This sort of code will do the trick for you I think:
    System.Diagnostics.Process[] processes = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("OUTLOOK");
    int collCount = processes.Length;
    if (collCount != 0)
    // Outlook already running, hook into the Outlook instance
    outlookApp = Marshal.GetActiveObject("Outlook.Application")
    as Outlook.Application;
    An else there would create a new Outlook.Application object.

  • Can I share apps with another user account on our mac even though its a different apple ID?

    Husband and I have just bought a new Mac to share, but we've both got iphones and itunes of our own.  I thought the best way to deal with this would be to have a user account each on the new Mac with our own iTunes, but this obviously means that each user account has a different apple ID associated with it.  I've just bought Pages, Numbers and Keynote on my user account, is it going to be possible to share these apps with my husbands user account.
    I've got a harrible feeling that I should have created a joint user account and apple ID, and I've just wasted the best part of £40...please tell me theres a way to fix this!!
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can, but you will have to update the applications from the user account with the Apple ID you used to purchase those apps. There isn't any other problem, but it may be illegal (but I think it's legal if you run them on the same Mac)

  • Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

    can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

    Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone.  The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
    To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On.  This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.

  • How do I transfer files to another user account?

    As you can tell from the thread title I'm completely new to all things Mac.  Please forgive my ignorance and this long winded post.
    So I setup my new 27"  iMac, installed Lion 10.7.? and applied all the updates (to 10.7.4).  Then I installed MS Office 2011 for Mac and downloaded all the updates for it. All went well and was refreshingly simple.  I did all of this thinking that I would need Office installed to make the migration from my PC's Outlook files to work properly.  Then i ran the migration assistant and it worked just as advertised.  Little did I know that it was creating another user account and it's folders to put the files into.  I know, read before jumping into things!  Well all of my files are in the new account that the migration assistant created and all appears well in that regard.  The only glitch is the emails all went into the Mac client, but they are there, my accounts are up and running and looks like it did what it's supposed to do.
    What I need to do is copy or move everything on the new user account over to the original account I setup.  What would be the best route to take?  I transferred about 125 gig of data in total.  I'm thinking that a fresh install and starting over is the route to go, but it's my understanding that a clean install isn't real easy on Lion and above.
    I can already tell that when I get everything situated that I'm really gonna be cussing myself for not going to Mac 5 years ago when I started to.  The graphics on this new iMac is amazing!
    So what are my options?  Figure out a clean install?  Or move/copy the folders and nuke the 2nd account?

    You can reinstall Lion by starting up in Disk Recovery mode. Hold command-R during startup. You will need a fast internet connectiona as a re-download of Lion is required.
    Once you have re-installed Lion, you can proceed to migrate your PC data using Setup Assistant.
    Moving and copying your files will require an external drive with permissions ignored (that is the default for OSX).

  • How to copy information from a user account's Security tab of Active Directory User and Computer Security tab to another user account?

    Hi, I'm using vs2012
    Grammatically, by C# code, I need to copy a user account's Security (from ADUC Security tab) and apply it to a new user account I created by code.  My application creates new AD accounts when needed.  I need to duplicate/copy attribute from another
    user account that we use as a base template.  I can copy most other attributes through property["xxxxx"] but how do I copy all that permission access information under the ADUC Security tab?
    How can I do that?  Thank you.
    Thank you

  • Help.  Cannot create another user account

    I am trying to add another user account but systems preferences will hang whenever I choose Accounts. It works fine otherwise (any other selections can be made with no problems). When I press accounts it will say loading accounts but never go anywhere from there....

    then something is wrong with the accounts pref pane itself.
    it's located in /system /library/preferencePanes.
    try reinstalling it from the SL install dvd using Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
    then reinstall 10.6.2 combo update. see if it works after that.

  • Opening File in Another User Account

    Greetings:
    I am using iWeb to post audio/video to a church's website. The church has their own .Mac account, and used to upload from their own system. After taking over this duty, I got a copy of their domain file, created a new username on my MBP using their .Mac account info, and started uploading from my system. It has been working fine...
    I'm wondering if there is a way to do this from my username, without having to create another username, and without having it publish based on my .Mac account info? When I open iWeb on my username, my .Mac info appears at the bottom of the screen. If I drop their domain file in my username folder, will it publish to their site, or will it default to my .Mac account info?...
    I hope this makes sense...
    Blessings,
    Craig

    Craig:
    Logging into the church account and then syncing will not update your own accounts info. Your best bet is to create another user account on your Mac just for your church account. Copy the domain file from your primary account to the other account and put it in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for that account. When you open iWeb it will open that domain file. You can then delete all but the church's site from the domain file. Log into the church's MMe account you you can publish directly to their iDisk.
    To make changing accounts on your Mac easier setup fast user switching in the System/Accounts preference pane:
    Click to view full size
    To summarize: you account for your web site; the second user account for the church's web site.

  • I only have one iTunes account.  The other day I made the mistake of downloading purchased songs and movies logged on another user account (Administrator) on the same computer.  How do I consolidate all my purchases in my preferred user account?

    I only have one iTunes account.  The other day I made the mistake of downloading purchased songs and movies logged on another user account (Administrator) on the same computer.  How do I consolidate all my purchases in my preferred user account?

    copy the songs that you downloaded as admin and put it somewhere you can access it from you're preferred account (usb stick / cd / shared folder / external hard drive) log into with you preferred user account and drag and drop the files on top of the itunes icon and they will be imported.
    if you have a second computer you could use home sharing to move the music from admin itunes to the second computer and from the second computer to the preferred itununes
    ps you can only connect 5 computers to you're itunes account so don't forget to de-autorise when you no-longer wand it.
