HT204053 Multiple accounts are a headache!!

I have two issues,
1. I have two accounts or apple IDs if you will. One was set up by me and the other was a mobileme account which became an apple ID when mobileme converted into iCloud. I want to deactivate one account, the one that was previously mobileme. How do I go about doing that?
2. I had my credit card linked to my iTunes and iCloud account, not sure which it is but point being I used to make all apple ID related purchases using this card. I un-linked it from the account for a short period because I was not to sure if I wanted to continue using this card for any further purchases. Now when I want to use the same card for purchases, it rejects the card number and says use a different credit card. I am not going to change my card because of an apple account. I have so many other things that this card is linked to. How do I get this card to work again. I reckon apple has barred the card for some odd reason. I would like to get in touch with someone from Apple via mail, however the I can't find the right link or mailing address to mail at.
Can someone help me out with at least a mailing address where I can get in touch with an apple representative?
Look forward to hearing from someone soon.
Regards,
Asad Ajmal

Products that you buy on the iTunes store are linked to your Apple ID/iTunes account, not your credit card. You should be able to change cards without any problems. If you change to a different Apple ID for iTunes purchases, then you'll lose everything you bought under the old ID. FYI, you can use one Apple ID for iTunes (I suggest using the account that you purchased most products under) and a different Apple ID for iCloud.
Not sure why it rejects your credit card.

File sharing and multiple accounts

I set up all the Macs on the network with one admin account and one user account (for daily use). This causes a couple of issues:
- How can I access files from one account in another account on the same Mac? I just get folders with the sign and no option to authenticate or log in.
- When I connect to a remote computer, I have to choose one of the account (or it will connect to one automatically, if I set it to be remembered). But I sometimes want to log into account and sometimes the other. Is there a way to connect to both accounts at once?

Can you explain a little more what that command does? I've seen variations of it on various sites, but I like to know what I'm doing.
It removes all ACLs from the user "standard"''s home folder, and all enclosed files/folders inside of it. It will fix the problem where nothing can be deleted because it all has the deny delete ACL attached to it.
Start over by explaining what your main objective is and I'll see if I can help.
As I mentioned in #1, I sometimes need to access files on remote computers or created by other users on the same computer.
Accessing files from other users on the same computer is harder. You suggest logging in as the 2nd user, moving the file to a shared folder, switch back to 1st user, do what you need to the file, switch back to the 2nd user, put the file beck where it belongs, switch to 1st user and resume work. I'd like something a bit faster.
OK, I see. What you need to do is shake the idea of keeping shared files inside a user's home folder. Home folders are for keeping your files away from other users. If you want to share some files, with other users able to edit them, don't keep them inside anyone's home folder. Keeping them inside the /Users/Shared folder will allow other users read-only access to them.
If you want to have a truly shared folder, where all files inside are automatically made writable by other users, the easiest way to do that is to store them on an external hard drive, with its ownership set to be ignored. But there is a way to keep them on the hard drive. It requires some set-up with Terminal commands. Post back if you want to know more details.
I think if I encounter a folder with access denied, I should be able to click on it, enter user/password, and be able to access its content.
Finder unfortunately doesn't allow for that, unless you are logged in as the root user. But if you keep shared files in shared areas instead of inside user home folders then you shouldn't run into this problem.
One more question - the multiple accounts - are they for different users? Or just for you? I ask because you seem to be wanting to log in to the admin account and then access the files in a non-admin account. If both accounts are yours then it raises the question of why you are logged in to the admin account in the first place. Admin and even root tasks can be done from non-admin accounts, by authenticating with the admin username and password when prompted. So it is rarely if ever required to actually log in to the admin account. I almost never log in to mine.

1) I have multiple accounts at the iTunes store and none are now associated with my purchases...I think because passwords have been associated with various id’s and I can’t log in and access those purchases. I want to get back to being able to use one id and password and be able to access those purchases.
2) When I upgraded my iPhone 3gs, to the latest version 5.0.1 (9A405), is when I noticed that i couldn’t update my applications. There are two names/accounts on the phone and prior to the update there was just the one. I have tried entering every conceivable password that I have ever used and get the incorrect password error every time. The apps on the iPhone are apparently associated with several/different accounts. I just want to get everything back to the way it was. One id and one password with purchases associated with just one account that can be updated on my computer as well as my iPhone.

Multiple controlling area with same chart account

Hi Experts,
can we consolidate multiple controlling area with same chart account in SAP BI?
for example, if in R3 I have 4 Controlling Areas with the same chart of accounts, I can get an standard BW reports summarizing them.

Hi
Chart of accounts i.e. 0CHRT_ACCTS is an attribute of Controlling area. This means each Controlling area will have it's own chart of accounts. This chart of accounts could be similar in terms of content values. So it is possible to consolidate and produce a report which provides a summary of the chart of accounts.
Cheers

The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts.

The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts. I previously was able to select between my Microsoft Exchange Contacts (work account) and iCloud (personal), but both those options are now gone. I tried turning contacts for both off and on and rebooting, but it didn't help. Any ideas?

Just a guess but if the exchange account is from your employer, your employer may have installed a security profile to your device preventing you from adding or editing contacts in the exchange account by removing the Default Account setting. You would need to check with your employer's IT department to confirm this. You could also test this by adding a Gmail account and turning on contacts syncing with Gmail to see if the setting reappears.

What are the options to use itunes with multiple accounts on one computer

I am totally confused; apple phone support seems to have no clue at least the person I spoke to. I want to get two iTunes accounts on one computer, one exists already. I am not sure what apple allows in this case. I was told at a apple store that if you create another PC profile you should be able to get the second iTunes account on the same computer with the new windows profile. There seems to be no info on the discussions board to this issue.
I do not want to share an account and have a second library I think it would be too confusing for the other person. Is this possible?

You can purchase music using multiple accounts within the same Windows profile & using the same iTunes library. I think when you log into the store it remembers the last account name used, but provided you don't let it remember your password then you have the opportunity to enter the correct details for each purchase.
If you're going to place these purchases on your respective iPod's the following may help.
*How to use multiple iPods with one computer*
The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
e.g.
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

HT204053 How can I contact you by email. My and my mothers accounts are mixed.

I just purchased my mother an ipad generation 1 for her 91st Birthday on Jan 18. I set hers up giving her own ID and personal information for her own account. But I had to connect to my wifi since we do not have a modem for her. I recently downloaded a Bingo Bash application and it came up in my name with my payment information? How could this happen? And tonight when I tried to use my ipad 3rd generation, the I D information is mixed up. How do I get my personal information off her account and her information off mine? I gave her her own email and ID-. This should not have happened? I am totally un-savvy with electronics so please explain this simply in laymens terms so I can try to correct this problem and make sure our accounts are separate and not merged together. She wants to learn to do her banking online and I would hate to think what could happen with her very confidential information. If you prefer calling me to help unravel this situation, you may reach me (Sandra Moon) . My mother is Louise Hargis but she cannot hear well over the telephone and I will have help her anyway since she does not have her ipad and has no idea how to use it. I am her spokesperson and can help get my account and mothers corrected so they will not be confused in the future.
I appreciate your allowing me to bring my concerns and I look forward to your assistance. I will not be at home tomorrow, Friday, Jan 11 th, as I have a doctors appointment that will take a couple hours. I should be back by 5:30 and the entire weekend. I have a cell phone but it does not accept text messaging. So you may reach me my email or my home phone.

<Personal Information Edited by Host>

You are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user forum and Apple does not read or respond to these posts. I've asked the forum hosts to edit out your personal information for your own security.
As far as your question, if you are saying that you are getting each other's merged data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) on your devices then you must have set up both devices with the same iCloud account and ID (in Settings>iCloud). When you do this, any data you sync with your shared iCloud account is merged, and the merged data appears on all devices sharing the account.
To fix this, one of you needs to migrate your data to a new, separate account, then your have to manually delete the other person's data from each of your accounts. To do this, first decide which device will be changing accounts. On that device, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from the iPad, not from iCloud. The iPad that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPad. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data in the two accounts you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately, then manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
As far as the app you downloaded, when you purchased the app it will display what ever Apple ID you have in Settings>iTunes & App Stores on your device. (This is in Settings>Store in iOS 5.) If you are sharing the same ID there and wish to change this, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores (or Settings>Store in iOS 5), tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.
If you want to contact Apple support for help with all this you can do so by going here: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ and set up a call with them. If your device was purchased new less than 90 days again this will be free. If over that their will be a charge (unless you purchase AppleCare+).

Multiple accounts on one computer

How to set up multiple accounts in itunes

This is from the link John Galt gave:
"If you share your computer with other people, you can maintain separate user accounts for each person who uses the computer. This is useful especially if each user has different tastes in music or other media; users can maintain separate, personalized iTunes libraries and can customize their devices' sync settings accordingly."
Which only works if all user accounts use the SAME iTunes account. This is not what the original question was. I have 2 iTunes accounts and 1 Mac. I have 2 user accounts setup and each account uses a seperate iTunes account. The problem is since they introduced this ridiculous 90 day rule when switching iTunes accounts this no longer works. I was happily using my current acount and when I switched to the older account to download my old movies I bought on it I got hit with the "you have to wait 90 days before switching iTunes accounts" when I tried to go back to my original account.
This has broken and ruined what used to be a great system. Let me explain:
Back in 2000 when you bought a DVD you could take this DVD with you to your friends house and pop it in their player and enjoy the movie.
Fast forward to future where no-one wants shiny disc or any other physical medium you go to your friends place and log into your account and watch the movie that way. Simple easy... till the 90 day rule.
I fully understand the logic behind it (protecting their IP), but it breaks the system for legit users. Copyright has always stood in the way of progress. There isn't a single copyright protection on shiny disc that has not been broken. All that engineering effort, time and money and you can download a free app to break it.
You cannot stop piracy, just like you cannot stop thieves. You can however try and catch them AFTER the act and punish them. This 90 day rule is like not allowing you to walk into the same store more than once in 3 months in case you might have stolen something the first time you where there. It's a stupid way to prevent something that is un-preventable.
There are many ways to get around the 90 day rule for people that do want to pirate someone elses library, but it does completely block someone who is just trying to use his own purchased media in a legit way. Stupid...
I am now forced to own 2 seperate computers just to access my 2 iTunes accounts.

Sharing one iTunes library across multiple accounts on the same Mac

Hello, I've poked around at some of the posts dealing with sharing one iTunes music library across multiple accounts on the same Mac but it seems like this can only be done if the libary is moved to a shared folder. I realize this can be done but I was trying to share it the way it is described in a post on Apple support (See link below.). That post seemed to imply that you don't have to move the library from its original location (owned by account A, e.g.), rather just make a couple preference changes in the accounts, use fast user switching and voila. That doesn't seem to work. So my question is this: Is the only way to share one iTunes music library across multiple accounts on the same Mac to move it to a shared folder? I'm running 10.4.8 on an Intel iMac. Thanks in advance!
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195

After reading this and several other related threads, I am becoming thoroughly confused about all of this. I have a situation similar to the one that pokerpal described in the post dated January 7 at 8:06 pm, except that the music files on my system are located on an external hard drive. Everything else is pretty much the same though - I am the admin user (and the main iTunes user and maintainer) and my girlfriend is a standard user who has no music in her own iTunes library. She can see and listen to and make playlists from and sync her iPod with the music in this library from her account, and I can do the same thing, independent of her, from my account. And if I make a change to information within a song, she doesn't see it, and vice versa, and I understand that. What I don't understand is why when I add a song or an album to the music files by importing a CD or downloading something from the iTunes Music Store, she has no way of knowing that unless I tell her, and then she can add it to her library by using the "Add to Library" function. Is there no way of automatically updating her library files to add the new song(s)? We have almost 15,000 songs and videos in that library, and I don't even want to think about what might have to happen if the answer to my question is "no." Interestingly enough, if I put an update to a Word document in the same exact location (on the hard drive), we can update that and pass it back and forth all day - why is that such a difficult task for iTunes to accomplish?
Sorry I went on so long, but this has been building up for some time, and none of the solutions I've read about here have really been of any help, so I'm a bit frustrated and, as I said at the beginning, confused.

How do I use multiple accounts on the same Mac with Apple TV2?

I have home sharing turned on in two separate accounts on a single MacPro. When I am logged into both accounts, I can see both accounts' iTunes Libraries available in the AppleTV2. However, when I try to open each account iTunes Library in the AppleTV2, only one account will open (whichever one I logged into first). (In other words, I log into Account1 then open iTunes with Home Sharing On, then log into Account2 (while Account1 is still logged on), open iTunes with Home Sharing On. AppleTV2 shows Account1 Library and Account2 Library under Computers, but will only load Account1 Library. Account2 Library will just cause AppleTV2 to search for the Library then give an error.) How come AppleTV2 can see both Libraries but will only open one Library? How can I fix this?
Thanks,
zpockets

Thank you for replying. Both of the accounts are Admin accounts. The Libraries are kept in the user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on each account. However, I do use multiple iTunes Libraries on my Account1. One of the Libraries I use in Account1 is on a separate internal HD. However, the other Libraries I use in Account1 are stored in user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on the main HD (which hosts both Account1 and Account2). It doesn't seem to matter whether I am using an iTunes Library on an external drive or the main drive in Account1, I still get the same problem: only account1 library will load. AppleTV sees that the Account2 Library is there, but it won't load it.

Can there be multiple accounts on one id?

can there be multiple accounts on one id?

Unfortunately you can't do the logical and convenient thing of authorizing a computer with multiple Adobe IDs that are active simultaneously.
You can authorize accounts from different vendors; one account per vendor.
If you have multiple operating system users set up on the computer, you can register different OS users as different Adobe Account users.

Down payment with multiple account assignment PO

Dear Experts,
While posting down payment request through transaction F -47 with
reference to purchase order we are getting below given error.
In that purchase order we have given
multiple account assignment i.e. multiple cost centers (e.g. Cost center A 50% cost center B 10% Cost Center C 40% i.e. distribution by %)
but
system is flagging message
Item 00010 of purch. document 4500024875 contains no suitable account
assignment
Message no. ME717
What will be the possible cause?
regards,
Abhijit

Hi,
In the request f-27 tr.code give the purchase order which item you want to give ie., for above said example 10 is a line item of 4500024875 - purchase order and beside you have to mention
10(lineitem) 4500024875 (purchase order) 2009 (year)
and system will take that request against the above purchase order.

GR and GR Non Val indicator in R/3 PO for multiple account assigned SC's

Hi,
We are on SRM 3.0(EBP 4.0) and R/3 4.7.
We have implemented the BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK badi for setting or clearing the GR and IR indicators under certian conditions.
But for Multiple account assigned SC's we get an error message "06181 With non-valuated GR, please also enter GR i ndicator ".
We have tried implementing note# 872000, but this has not solved the issue.
The PO's get created only if we force the GR indicator when transferring the data into R/3.
It seems clear that while creating the PO the system is encountering the GR Non Val indicator but not the GR indicator, so its throwing the error message (we get the same error message when we create the PO from R/3 with GRnon val indicator checked and GR ind unchecked).
The proposed solution is that in the same BADI, along with clearing the GR indicator, we will also clear the GR non val indicator.
This can solve the issue if the indicators are transferred as it is from EBP.
But can anyone tell me if these indicators are also checked/changed in any FM/program in R/3 before the PO is created?
Is there any customizing setting which is affecting this particular behaviour?
Regards,
Srivatsan

Hi Srivatsan ?
In ECC, you have a configuration point :
Materials Management->Account Assignment->Maintain Account Assignment Categories
Here you can untick the indicator you want by account assignment category;
Kind regards,
