HT204266 Two users of itunes with different types of apps.

There are two users of itunes on my computer with completely different styles of music and apps.  My problem is when they sync, everything goes on each others ipod, which creates a big problem.  I can not figure out how to keep the apps separate.  With the music, I check and uncheck everything, since there are hundreds of songs, It is a big pain.  Is there an easier way?

  • Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts on the same computer?

    What do I do to REMOVE an old AIM account and replace it with a new account in IChat?
    Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts in the same computer?
    (Actually, two people share a laptop, but one of us cannot use her AIM account cuz mine is in iChat already... And, when traveling, I have the computer - and I would like to use iChat on the computer...)

    In iChat 4 you can have more than one AIM Valid name logged in at once.
    AIM valid = AIM, @mac.com or a MobileMe name.
    What you are then stuck with is that iChat is linked to one Buddy Picture and The one Mac User Account's Address Book which may or may not have Full Names, emails details, or a Nickname in iChat 4 linked to the Screen Names.
    Whilst it does let you both log in whilst using one Mac User Account there are drawbacks about who uses the keyboard and reading meesages from the other persons Buddies.

  • Wifi sync 2 iPhones in one iTunes with different Apple-ID's.

    Wifi sync 2 iPhones in one iTunes with different Apple-ID's. My Phone will show up in iTunes, my wife's wont. After plugging my wife's phone into my Win 8.1 pc and check Sync over wifi, I hit the eject button, could this be the reason? Or might it be the different Apple-ID's? If the answer is the first, is there any way tohave iTunes forgetmy wife's phone so I can addit from scratch?

    Ello,
    I know this, but thats in the past now sadly. The question is: Why wont my wife's iPhone show up in iTunes via wifi?
    Is it because I pushed the eject button? And if so, is there any way I can make iTunes forget my wife's iPhone and *** it from scratch again?
    Or is it because the phones uses different Apple-ID's?

    As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • Sharing itunes with different user accounts

    I just got Windows Vista. I have the latest version of Itunes. I'm trying to set it up so that my wife and I can share songs with different user accounts in Windows. I followed all the instructions. I moved the iTunes music folder to a public folder. But everytime I log off my account and return, itunes can't find the song files. Any suggestions?

    They can be transferred to another iTunes library but not another iTunes account.
    Just copy them.

  • Problems working with different types of aggregation in two facts table

    Hello every Body!! Greetings from Brazil..
    At fisrt I'd like to say that I've tried to find some thead with the same problem, but I've foud no answere. That is why I'm typing this new post.
    Here we go ...
    I've a Fact table with one metric and two degenerate dimensions..
    For exemple:
    Invoice_number
    Puschase_Date
    Purchase_Value$
    When I model it at Business Model Mapping, I used the Aggregation's type below:
    Invoice_number - None
    Puschase_Date - None
    Purchase_Value - Sum
    So far it works fine at Answeres area.. Since I use only values from this Fact..
    But... if I try to join values from two different Facts Table (both of them sharing the same Dimensions) and the Second Fact has an aggregated value, it does'nt work... I get 'null' as values (metrics) of the second Fact Table...
    I think that it is caused because I'm working whith different types of aggregation, but I don't know the solution.
    By the wat, the second Fact I've told has only one metric, aggregated whith 'SUM'.
    Is there a solution? Any hint?
    Tks.

    int x = (int)(7 + 3.0 / 4.0 * 2); //the variable will do the math bracket first. then the va type will still be an int because int was never changed.
    Following the standard order of operations, 3.0/4.0 will result in a double, then 2 will be converted to a double before being multiplied to the result, then 7 is converted to a double before being added to the result, and then the (int) cast will force a conversion
    back to an int.
    Console.WriteLine((1 + 1) / 2 * 3); // 1 + 1 will be done first then 1 / 2 then * by 3
    Correct.
    I THINK THATS ALL WRONG ^ =/ like the comments
    Why?

  • Sharing a NAS drive between 2 PCs running itunes with different accounts....

    I have 2 Windows 7 PC's with different iTunes accounts, both accessing the same NAS drive for their save location.
    2 Questions:
    - 1 - How do I stop them from reverting back their default save loaction ( from "z:/itunes/itunesmedia" to "c:/user/music/itunes/itunesmedia" ) ??
    - 2 - when one account buys music and save it to the NAS location, will the other itunes account be able to see it straight away, and if not, how do i make it so it does??
    Any help is good help
    Thanks

    All itunes is running 10.something....
    All Pc's autherised to play the other accounts music etc......

    You can manually add the music files on the external drive to your powerbook's itunes by using File->Add to library but that won't bring over playlists, ratings or playcounts.
    This "metadata" is in a file called "iTunes Library" on your desktop in Music/iTunes. To bring over that "metadata" you can try this:
    1) Close iTunes on both machines.
    2) Copy the "iTunes Library" from the desktop and put in in the same place on the powerbook.
    3) Now open iTunes on the powerbook.
    This will definitely work if the external drive is attached directly to the powerbook. I haven't tried your type of scenario, where you will access the external drive through the network to get to the desktop and then the external drive. But I think I've seen other here say this works.
    If it doesn't work, ie it put exclamation marks next to tracks to indicate it can't find htem, then go into the preferences (Advanced, general) and set the music folder location to the external drive (through the network, through the desktop). This should make it find the music.
    You'll also want to make sure "Copy files to the music folder" is ON so that any music you add through the powerbook is copied to the external drive. (If that's what you want. You may chose not to do this, to have some music stay on the local harddrive so you have acess to it when you're not at home).

  • Two users for iTunes

    My wife owns an iPod nano and has iTunes loaded on out laptop. We each have our own login for the laptop. I am now interested in purchasing an iPod and want to use the iTunes on the laptop but I do not want here music. Does iTunes create different accounts for us so we do not share the same music lists or is this done by having separate logins for the Windows XP. I have noticed that a couple of times I have logged in and purchased music through iTunes and it is not visible to her when she logs in. Thanks to anyone who can answer this for.

    There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library and user account.
    b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
    Sharing a Library
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page:
    Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists

  • HT5622 can you still share music on itunes with different apple id?  My daughters and I share the same itunes account but . . noticed this is not a good idea.  Both our contacts get merged.  sometimes my pictures end up on their phone!

    Is there a way to share the itunes music with different people in your household without having to share the phone contacts?  Do I need to have a different apple id?

    It's ok to share the same AppleID for iTunes.  Use Separate ID's for iCloud, iMessage, and Facetime.

  • A second user called root with different UID after install

    After installing Mavericks, I noticed that sudo didn't work properly. I investigated it for a while and then noticed that sudo was running as a user called 'root' but with different uid (217, not 0). Now, is it possible that Mavericks installation has created this second root user incorrectly? Or should I fear that my laptop was compromised before, attacker had somehow been able to create a second root user, and OS upgrade just exposed the problem. 
    I was able to circumvent the problem by renaming the second 'root' user with dscl, but I still would like to understand the root cause (pun intended) of the problem.

    ~/Library is probably the one you don't want to move back because it may bring the issues back along with it.
    All your own data you can drag & drop. You can drag the contents of any folder Movies, Music, Pictures, Documents (or as much as you want).
    Rather than try to replace the Library you can take ~/Library/Application Support, Mail, Safari and any other folders you need.
    To access your hidden ~/Library folder go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library".
    Then you can drag it to the Sidebar for easy access.

    What's your lookout version on two computers? You need first to make two lookouts run, and then try to networking them. For example, if you run lookout 6.2 on windows 98, I'm not sure if it will work.

  • Playing iTunes with different user accounts in the same computer

    I just created another user account in my computer running windows XP, but when I try to open itunes in the new user account it ask me to close the other itunes that is running in the administrator account or vice versa, Why I can't run both itunes at the same time if both are in the same pc? I already checked in the preference panel the option for share my library music in both itunes just in case if that is the problem but still asking me the same. Am I doing something wrong?

    iTUnes, in basic terms, does not play nice with the "Fast user switching" feature in windows turned on. THis feature (If memory serves me right) is automaticly turned on in windows when you create another user account. to turn it off, goto control panel>user accounts>change the way users log on and off.

  • Two users on itunes = trouble for me

    Hi,
    I use itunes no problem, my son wants his own ipod BUT he files musics sooo differently than me, he changes names, titles, etc. I don't know why...but I want to know can he have a seperate itunes software & retitle it (itunes.son) so that his way of storing music doesn't interfere with my traditional way of storing it in itunes?

    Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
    It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:
    Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:
