  • Can two people with their own iPhones use the same computer and iTunes?

    Can two people with their own iPhones use the same computer and iTunes?

    Yes. My wife and I each have our own Apple ID and used the same computer to sync our phones with iTunes. The best way to do this is set up separate user accounts on the computer. If you are logged in to your account on the computer and your wife wants to sync here phone, you would log out and she would log in. These keeps all your stuff separate and avoids a ton of confusion.

  • Can I set up my wife's iPhone C with her own iCloud but share my Apple ID account?

    I have had my Apple Id for quite sometime now and have lots of music and apps for my Apple devices. I FINALLY convinced my wife to get an Apple phone as well when we just upgraded our services.
    Is it possible for me to set her phone up with her own iCloud account (so we don't get each others texts, photos, ect) but still share my Apple ID so she can have access to our apps and music? Also I need to set her up on a PC of her own for backups and syncing.
    If this is possible, what is the best way to proceed?
    Thanks for any help at all

    If you still have this question, the answer is yes.  You can set up a separate iCloud account for her by going to Settings>iCloud on her phone and signing in with a separate Apple ID.  You can do this and still share the same ID for your iTunes account (in Settings>iTunes & App Store).  The ID you use for iCloud does not need to be the same as the ID you use for other services.  Also, to avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls, make sure she signs into these services with her new iCloud ID (in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime).
    In iTunes on her PC, authorize her computer for your shared iTunes account by opening iTunes and going to Store>Authorize This Computer and signing in with the ID.  Then you should be all set.

  • How can each user maintain their sound volume setting?

    In Snow Leopard and recent updates to Leopard, when a user sets the sound volume, it also affects the setting for other users.
    It used to be that when switching back to another user, the sound level was put back to how that user left it.
    How can this behaviour be restored?

    If the installations were registered, then Adobe may be able to help. However, as far as I know there is no way to get the number from the current installation. This has been asked many times before and that is the answer I have seen.

  • How can each child have their own ipod touch and share my current library yet have their own sign in??

    I recently purchased and ipod touch for each of my children. I logged onto itunes set up my son's and now when I tested and he sends me a message from his ipod to my iphone it comes through with my name? I understand I used my apple ID but how can I share my library of music with them, but when they use their devices their names will appear and not mine.
    Maybe I am missing something here but I could really use some help. I have 1 more to set up.

    After hours of research and trial I think I can help you.  You need to get each of your kids an email address (I use zoobuh) and then set them up with an Apple ID.  Once they have an apple ID you will go into Settings.  For Messages and FaceTime you will need to change the ID to their instead of yours.....  I think I had to turn them "off" and then back on again.
    Hope this helps!

  • I am running 4 ipod classica through one computer and one itunes account/profile.  The ipods belong to me, husband and 2 kids.  How can the kids now get their own accounts but keep the stuff I have already downloaded for them?  They have their own laptops

    I am currently running 4 ipod classics through my own account/profile on itunes.  They belong to me, my husband and 2 kids. 
    The kids are getting older now and have their own laptops.  I would like them to have their own itunes accounts as they will be away from home much of the time and will want to make their own puchases. 
    How can I set them up so that they are independent from my account, but not lose the content that I have downloaded for them over the years?  (A lot of content).

    You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that.  Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card.  Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account. 
    Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud.  Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account.  To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.

  • When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

    When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account? 

    Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:

  • I look after multiple ipads each with their own itunes account. How can I manage them all from one computer.

    I am looking after 20 ipads each with their own itunes account.  Am I able to have more than one itunes account on my computer so that I can sync these ipads when necessary.  We don't always buy our songs on itunes. Sometimes we buy the cds and download them onto itunes so i need to attach them to the computer to sync the songs.  I will need to do this all on my one computer.  Can this be done.  If not, what do you do in this instance.

    Best way to do it is to create a user for each iTunes account.

  • HT1660 I have two iTunes libraries on two different pc's (one windows and one Mac).  Can I consolidate these on an external hard drive?

    I have two iTunes libraries on two different pc's (one windows and one Mac).  Can I consolidate these on an external hard drive?

    I'm sorry I just saw the last post. I had two users on my hard drive, one for me and one for my daughter, but I am not sure what you mean by partioning my external????? I have heard the term before, but don't know how to do it. I am having serious crashing issues with this computer and believe I really need to do a clean install. I just want to make sure everything for both ipods is safe (is???? I think so, everything is......I hate when the English language does this to me!)

  • I can't update iWeb. Error message:  "The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges." I had received a response that gave me the "best" FTP, it was one that gave each iweb user their own support person. Need info again

    I keep getting an error message, sometimes the beginning part changes but it always ends with the quote above. I haven't had the time to work ont his in a few weeks, but weeks ago I got a response that indicated the "best" FTP to use, because they give each iweb user their own support person with whom the user can speal everytime, instead of getting as new person each call/email.
    I am currently with 1&1.co.uk, which was recomnmended to me by a friend who is much more website intelligent than me: he designs websites for a living. They may very well be very good for someone who knows what they are doing, but they are not so good for me or for Apple users. Since I am paying every month for not being able to get updates published, I would be willing to pay for an FTP which would give me, a novice, resal Apple support. I also do not want to have to completely redesign my website or loose my website address, so I want to transfer the whole critter to a new FTP.
    Thanks

  • Help!  i have one apple id but 2 game center accounts.......each mini has their own but now they seem to obtain the same game center id......help!

    i have one apple id.
    i have 2 mini ipads with different game center id's but same apple id...
    each ipad has their own email address setup, even though they can see all 3 email address...
    why does the game center id no longer keep its own game center id?

    Hi Jamesdwills,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
    Check out this information from the iPad User Guide.  Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

    Game Center settings
    Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
    Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
    Allow invites
    Let nearby players find you
    Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
    Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
    Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
    Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.

  • Can we split accounts so each person can spend their own money, but still share the same librar

    right now we have one itunes library, one apple id and 2 devices. so when we put an itunes card on the account, it is a race for who can use up the $ first.  We are adding a 3rd device.   I want to split the accounts so each person can spend their own money, but i still want them to share the same library(the library is in a shared area on the computer)
    we have been thinking about just setting up a new apple id for the new device.  i am worried that when we sync, that it will wipe out all the existing stuff.
    Thanks for your help.

    You can create as many individual user accounts on a Mac as you like. Then, any one or more of those users can remotely log in from another Mac and use that Mac as their own, simultaneously. Each account will remain separate from all others.
    However, since each user needs to have a Mac to do that, I'm not sure how you could effectively double the number of users as you describe.

  • Gave grandkids Ipads for Christmas.  I need to sync each to my Mac with their own Itune accounts.  I do have them on my computer with their own login.  What is the best way to sync their Ipads?

    I need to sync each of my grandkids IPads to my Mac with their own Itune accounts.  Each grandkid does have a login on my computer that I control.  On their IPads they each set up a ITune account.  What is the best way to sync their Ipads?  Is there something I need to make sure is turned on in their accounts on my computer?

    Hi Jodel,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your grandkids each have a user account on your Mac, you can use the steps in this article to set up syncing with each user account and iPad:

  • HR data entry folks can maintain their own records

    HR data entry folks can maintain their own records.  This was discovered recently during a security review.  This is a huge segregation of duties and SOX issue.  How can we restrict the access of HR data entry clerks so that they can't maintain their own records?

    Hi,
    Structural authorization need not be present in your system for using object P_PERNR, auth object P_PERNR works with simple position based security(personnel number has to be assigned to each user and PA infotypes restricted via object P_ORGIN) as well. P_PERNR restricts access to infotypes/subtypes maintained for one's own personnel number.
    The object field PSIGN is used to restrict this access. PSIGN= I means one would have access to certain infotypes and their subtypes( specified in INFTY and SUBTY fields of the object) for own personnel number and PSIGN= E means no access to those infotypes and subtypes for self. Also, PSIGN= * is equivalent to value I.
    You can activate this object via OOAC/ table T77S0 as specified in above post.
    Hope this clarifies.

    Unfortunately, at the moment you cannot create two user profiles on one iOS device.
