HT4314 Can someone elaborate on if w have multiple people using the same account. I cannot log in to my gamecenter account. How do I get into mine and not my brothers

My two brothers and I share a apple account (as is reccomended by apple). I updated m iPod touch to ios 5.1.1. When I came back I had been logged out of my gamecenter account. This is no problem but when I went to log in. I couldn't get into my account. I kept logging in to my brother gamecenter account. I have a lot of time invested into some of the games and I'd really like to play them but cant without a gamecenter account. If someone would help it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tracy,
I don't suspect Malware yet, Id guess Disk corruption or failing Hard Drive with Files not found.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

HT204053 Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices?

Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices? I just set up my IPhone 4S (first time user) using the same Apple ID as my daughters and now we receive each others texts, do I need to set up my own Apple ID account?

Yes, you can. In fact it's recommended that you use different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. You can still share the same ID for iTunes without any issues.
You are getting each other's text messages because you're using the same ID for iMessage. To fix this, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with a different ID. To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

HT4436 Can I have multiple devices using the same iCloud account?

We want to use "Find my iPhone" in iCloud to keep track of all of our corporate-owned devices so we use the same iCloud account on all devices. If we enable iCloud backup, will that cause problems? Will the latest backup be the one that gets picked up if we need to do an iCloud restore?

Go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then if you're using iOS 7 enter the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted. This only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud. The other device won't be effected by this. Also, when you delete the account you will be prompted about whether or not to keep a copy of the iCloud data on the device or delete it. Finally, if you want to keep any of the photo stream photos on the device, save them to the camera roll before deleting the account.

HT1311 can you see which device bought something on iTunes where you have multiple devices on the same iTunes account?

is there any way to find out which device dowloaded apps when you have multiple devices using the same itunes account?

The purchase information does not include the device used, but does include the Apple ID used for the purchase.
Apps downloaded on one device with the same Apple ID can be downloaded on another device with that Apple ID.

What is the best way to have multiple devices on the same account so we can still share the same library. Right now I have 7 and I believe it's causing them to malfunction.

I have multiple devices on the same itunes library and they all starting to have the same issues. Not recognizing numbers previously stored, not sending/receiving tests. Do I need to get everyone separate itunes accounts?

What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network?
One iTunes library per person. One iTunes account per person.
If people wish to share songs, they can make copies.
When the inevitable day comes when the kids get older, you will not have to come back here and post asking how all that stuff can get separated!

Can you have multiple databases on the same LUN in Exchange 2010?

I'm sure you can but is it possible with exchange 2010 to have multiple databases on the same LUN. We currently have 8 DB's all writing to their own DB drive and separate log drive so 16 drives in total. I need to spin a new DB up this week and
wanted to double check this is possible. I've looked online and cant find anything that I've seen before that says this is possible.
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, multiple databases could be placed on the same LUN, but it's not recommended.
If you have 2 drives fail at the same time (it happens more than you think), then losing 100% of your DBs is a lot worse than losing one of them or some of them depending on where the failures are.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

Hope this helps!

TS2972 I have multiple libraries on the "same computer" with two different desktops, can't I share between two libraries on the same computer?

I'm trying to use home sharing to share content between libraries so some of the combined content in a given library, can be synced to an ipad. Instad of having mulitple computers, i have multiple libraries on the same computer using two desktops. How do I share within the same computer?

iTunes must be running for home sharing to work. There is no way to have home sharing running simultaniously for two users on the same computer.
Simply add the media files using File > Add File/Folder option in iTunes.

Hi, I have apple account/password on laptop but can't use the same ID etc on new Ipad. On my account it says ID is only for 1 system. I really want only one ID for both Ipad and laptop. Thanks

It seems that you have used the AppleIDs to "Purchase" your devices, which marries the two for all time and eternity.

Is there a problem?

Its not possible for the same development object. Only 1 person can access an object at a time and if mutiple users modify an object new TASKs are created under the same TRANSPORT.
Only after releasing the tr you can create a new tr on the same object.

I have three iPhones using the same iTunes account, can we set something so that we are not all getting everyones txt messages to all phones?

Settings > Messages > Receive At...
Any iPhone that lists the same email will receive the same texts. This has to be changed in order to stop receiving on all devices.

HT1766 can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

Hi sandexpress,
As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
GB

I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends. She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it

I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends. She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it. Really need some help. Shouldnt her apps and details be saved online in the itunes store? Even her apps wont appear

If you create an Apple ID for your daughter, signing out of the existing Apple ID with the iTunes & App Store on her iPhone will not change anything on your iPhone.
All apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
If she starts using her Apple ID to download apps, when there is an app update for an app on her iPhone that was downloaded with the current shared Apple ID, she will need to use that Apple ID and password to download the app updates.

You can't use the same certificate more than once.

HT1904 my husband an I both have IPods we use the same apple ID for iTunes I would like for him to have his own. I set it up but his purchases is still going under my account. How do I get it to go under his account?

My husband and I use the same itunes account and ID. I set up a new account in his name with a new ID but his purchases still come under my account. On his ipod I still see my username not his. How can I change it?

You shouldn't be using the same account on phone iphones. Have him setup his own and make sure his iCloud is logged in with that one

ITunes 11... I have multiple artists with the same album name... how do i have them show up as separate albums?

I have itunes 11 with iTunes Match on 2 Macs and 2 ios devices... I know it all has bugs... but I have been ok.
I am wondering how to show my library in the column browser view when I have multiple albums with the same names? I have noticed on my ipod in my car that an album titled "Christmas" plays and includes 2 different albums titled christmas... and in itunes it lists them both when not in the artwork view... (I primarily use the column browser to navigate my library.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this/knows how to fix.
Thanks!

Various workarounds I can think of which basically involve playing around with tags. See which meets your needs or come up with others:
Give the albums slightly different names. For example, "Greatest Hits" [ABBA]"
Do the same but do it in the sort album field.
Add a bogus disc number to different albums. It may string them together still but at least they will be slightly grouped.
