HT4914 90 day lockout on match - two users, one desktop, now what?

My husband and I both subscribed to match separately - orginally he was using a PC laptop, while I was using the Mac desktop...then he tried to phase out the laptop, and now I'm locked out of match because of his log on. How do we solve this?

I don't use Home Sharing but it sounds like what you are running up against is the re-authorization wait period:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
You probably used the computer for one of the specific service mentioned, such as re-downloading something, and now need to change the association to Home Share with the other computer. There's a 90 day wait period before changing association. There's no official explanation as to this wait period but you can see it might have its origins in deterring rapid sequential music sharing between friends. One way to avoid this in future is to make sure you have a back up of all media you buy from Apple so you do not have to re-download anything. As for right now, you can transfer media using a flash drive and just not use Home Sharing for 90 days.

I have set up two users, one for myself and one for children. The computer automatically logs in for the children with no password required. When the children go to spotlight and type in a search criteria all of my files show up. How do I prevent this?

Log in to your account, and move all your files to your home folder. No other users should be able to access them there and they won't show up with a Spotlight search.
Make sure your kids' account(s) do not have admin privileges.

How do I switch users on wifi sync for example my Mac has two users one apples MacBook pro the other is my name I want to switch from apples MacBook pro to my name how is this done?

Try connecting the iPad to the computer that you do not want to WiFi sync with and uncheck the WiFi sync option in iTunes. Then click on Apply. Reboot the iPad and see if that does the trick.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Have two users one is a test one is mine all the sudden mine lost the applications folder and now when i open my user it opens but wont respond to anything and i have to power it down and restart any clues

I have two users one is mine, one is a test i set up with apple care. Everything was working fine then i lost my applications folder icon on my user. I have been using the Finder to open applications, now when i open my user the mouse travels but i'm not able to get a respond from anything ,it's almost like its frozen. I have power off and restart and use the test user. Anyone have a clue or any ideas?

You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive.
You can also boot into Safe mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
   1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
   2. Press the power button.
   3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
      Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
   4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
Please post back with results,
To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

Itunes Match: Two users on one computer.

My wife and I share one computer. We switch between users. I set up my itunes match under my user name, then I swtiched to her user and
tried to set up ITM. no go I get this message
Any advice?
Cheers

You can only associate each computer (not account on the computer) to one apple id. This is a restriction of match and automatic downloads from iTunes. See the iTunes terms and conditions and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.
I haven't tested it yet but I think if you have two user accounts on a machine and each has a different apple id, one of the accounts will have to login to match with the Apple ID that was authorized on the machine. I think if they do that, the user's iTunes library will be matched and combined with the library of the other user''s appleid only up in the cloud. You may or may not want that behavior. Also, I think if the user switches back to their AppleID, as long as they kept copies of their music locally that music though also in the cloud would still be accessible since it is on the disk. But anything showing with the cloud download icon (ie: stored only in the cloud) would disappear from the library until they login to match again since that music is not on the disk. The relogin to match will go thru steps 1..3 but much faster on each relogin and all music in match would show up again. I think the user can go purchase music on their id, login to match on the match id, and iTunes will auto match those purchases since they are added to the physical library.
Note, this is speculation on my part based on the fact that I was able to logout of my match ID and login to another ID to updated some aps from the app store. What happened was all my cloud music disappeared, local music stayed that was also present on the disk ws still there. I downloaded some apps, logged out, and logged back in with my iTunes match apple id and everything came back.
I would caution not to do this on an iOS device. On there, if the music is not in the cloud library when logging in and out of match across id's, it may be deleted. Also, the relogin on the iOS device, for me at least with 13,000+ songs, takes 20 minutes on an iPhone 4S.

One Macbook, two users, one email account

Is there anyway for two users who share use of a single macbook (two user accounts) to share a single email account using mail?
Conceptually, I imagine that this could be achieved by locating the mailboxes/folders in the public folder accessible by both users.
How do I change the settings within Mail to "point" to this folder?

Just some more notes for setting up the same mailaddress on two accounts:
1. If you use POP3 leave messages on the server - otherwise emails received by account A won't appear in account B. On the other hand, leaving mail on server may lead to overquota. If both accounts check on a regular basis, leave them on the server for e.g. 7 days.
2. I would prefer using IMAP, if supported by your mail provider. That way all folders and mails are stored serverside, and the displayed content will be the same for both accounts.

IMessage two users, one account

Hi,
I have had an iTunes account for a while now. Lots of music and so forth. My wife recently purchased an iPhone so now we have two users on the same account. Everything's fine except for iMessages. We are both receiving each others IMessages. Can I fix this without having to create two accounts? We want to continue to share contacts, apps, music etc.
Many thanks

Thanks Penguin.
Will try when I'm home in a few days.
Cheers.

Two Users one MacBook, and a huge Itunes Duplicate Library

Hello People,
I´m wondering if anybody knows a better way to make two user share the same itunes library without duplicate it... ´couse My Wife and I become to a point where we decided to have diferent account session... but the topic about the shared content it´s drive me crazy! I Got a MacBook, with very limited H.D space...
Thks for your time!

Two users, one AppleTV. Please help.

I'm thinking about getting an AppleTV for THE device to play back our media. So this would mean our movies, music and maybe occasionally pictures. There are two users in my household: me and my wife. We have one computer, A MacBook Pro (although the wife might get a laptop of her own sometime in the future). I also have a Mac Mini that I have been planning to turn in to a server.
Now, both me and my wife have our own iTunes-libraries on the MBP. How could we make that content available to the AppleTV? There are few options:
a) We stream the content from the laptop. Easy solution, but I do not want this. I want to be able to access the content all the time, even if the laptop is sleeping. Also, I would like to move the iTunes-library off the laptop in order to save HD-space.
b) We sync the content from the laptop. Easy, but the problem is that only one user can sync. So if I synced my content to AppleTV, my wife could not sync her content, so we are back at option A, which is not suitable.
c) We combine the two libraries in to one, copy them to the server that runs iTunes, and we stream the content from there to the laptop and to the AppleTV (or we could sync it to the AppleTV as well). The library could be split in to playlists that would list each users songs for example, so my wifes Harry Belafonte-songs don't get mixed up with my Manowar-songs . Now, this sounds like the best solution. But how could I or my wife add content? The laptop would be used to buy music from iTunes, as well as ripping CD and DVD's, and that content needs to be added to the iTunes-library that is running on the server. How to do that?
d) We combine the iTunes-libraries in to one (with playlists separating the songs according to the user) and put it on a network-volume on the server. Now, this seems like a good solution as well, but... If my wife ever gets a computer of her own (instead of we using one shared computer), what would happen if she decided to access that content on her computer while I was accessing it on mine? Of course I could just wirelessly share the library with her computer, but then she couldn't add her purchased songs to the common library, and they therefore wouldn't be playable on the AppleTV.
I don't think my situation is that uncommon, so I would be interested in knowing how to solve it.

This actually seems like a viable solution. If my wife buys or rips some music, I don't have urgent need to listen to it, and if I do, I can always import the songs to my library. And I'm quite certain that my wife is not interested in my content, but if she is, I could always teach her how to import my content to her library.
One loose end that remains is that how we will get that various content to the AppleTV. Of course, I could manually sync the content to it. But if my wife buys content, how could she make it available to AppleTV? While streaming would work, I don't like the idea of AppleTV being dependant on the laptop in order to work properly. What would happen is that she buys content, I then add that content to my iTunes-library from where I then sync it to AppleTV. Or she streams her library to AppleTV, but she couldn't access that content if the laptop was sleeping.
I asked this same question in another Mac-forum and I received a suggestion where the server would stream the content. Adding purchased content to the server-iTunes would be handled by a Folder Action that would automatically import any added file to that folder to the iTunes-library. So if my wife bought a song, she would then copy that song to certain network-folder, where it would be automatically imported to the server-iTunes for streaming. And same thing would happen in my case. We could still have separate libraries for each user, for iPod-syncing and so forth. So it would basically be a three-way iTunes-setup, with three different iTunes's (mine, wifes and the server-iTunes) using same folder and files, but each having separate libraries. My wife's library would contain just her content, my library would contain just my content, and the server-iTunes would contain all content that would then be streamed to AppleTV.
Does any of this make any sense :)?

Two users, one computer, can we share?

Hello and thanks for any help. We got a new computer for Christmas that has two user "accounts" on it. My husband loaded iTunes into "his" side with no problem. I have iTunes, but can't get any of the music to show up on it, even though the computer shows that the files are being shared between the two users. I can add music to it with no issue, but can't access what was already in the library. It seems silly to load all the music in twice, but I will if I have no other option. Any ideas? Thanks.

1 Quit iTunes.
2 Drag your entire iTunes folder from /My Documents/My Music/ to a Shared directory.
3 Log out.
1 Log in on your other account(s).
2 Start iTunes and immediately press an hold the Shift key.
3 iTunes will ask to Create new library or Choose existing library. Select Choose existing library.
4 Select the iTunes library file in the iTunes folder in /Users/Shared.
5 Now go to File -> Add Folder to library and select the iTunes music folder located in /My Documents/My Music/iTunes.
6 - iTunes will add all the music in from this account to the main iTunes music folder/library.
7 Delete the iTunes folder in /My Documents/My Music/.
8 Restart iTunes normally (don't hold Shift). Everything should be there.
9 Quit iTunes and log out of the account.
10 Do the above steps for all users. Don't do the first 1-3 steps. Start at the second series.
Log into your account, start iTunes normally and all music should be there.
Whenever any of you do anything in iTunes, it will be seen by all since you are using one and the same iTunes library file.
Create a "main" playlist for each user with their own music. Create a smart playlist and set it to Playlist is not the playlist you created above. Select this and it will show you everything NOT in your playlist. Do the same for the others. This will help when adding only the music you want your own playlist.
Note that iTunes can only be opened by one user at a time.

One Mac, Two Users, One shared Aperture Library

Hello
I recently bought a new DSLR camera. As the camera is much more advanced comapred to my former one I also wanted to improve my editing capabilties by switching from iPhoto to Aperture.
I (USER 1) started Aperture, created a new library in the same directory my iPhoto library is stored in, chose "Import -> iPhoto library -> keep files in the original location"...a couple of hours later the library was indexed and usable.
Now I wanted to take the next step. To optimize disk storage and to avoid duplicates the iPhoto library was used by two users, the imports, edits... one user made were available to the other user (on the same Mac) and vice versa. The idea was to do the same under Aperture. So USER 1 assigned "read & write" rights on my library file to USER 2 as well (as I said, file is stored in the same location as the iPhoto library where 2 users, 1 library already worked). I signed in as USER 2, started Aperture and first had to create a new library file. Then I changed the library file to USER 1's (shared) library. This worked in prnciple, however "Projects", "Faces"... were not displayed. Aperture showed as many blank fields as USER 1's library contains pictures. Some pictures were displayed after a couple of minutes but the system didn't appear as if it would also try to make the remaining pictures available. So I checked access rights on the library file again (USER 2 had all rights required), closed Aperture on USER 2, reopened Aperture under USER 2 and got the message, that access rights are not sufficient to access the library file of USER 1.
What am I doing wrong? Could it be that what is possible under iPhoto (2 users, 1 Mac, 1 shared library file) is not possible under Aperture?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Update:
I installed Windows via Bootcamp, added a second partition to the system. It worked, Windows took ages to download all the required updates but anyway, it worked. So I started up again with OS X Lion, now splitting my OS X partition into two (than had 2 OS X and 1 Windows partition) and adding all my iTunes content to the second. Then I created a new Apperture libary on that second partition, imported all the projects into it and, hey, it worked as well, no files showed "unsupported file format" anymore. So I thought I was through it all...but only until I tried to start from the Windows partition again, it didn't work. Under OS X I could see the Windows partition and all it's content, however the Bootmanager didn't provide the option to startup with Windows. So I had to clean the second OS X partition again, deleting the Bootcamp partition and then doing all the painfull Windows installation again. Now I'm at the point where I have 1 Mac OS X Lion partiton and a Bootcamp partition containing Windows 7...
Now my question: Could it be, that Bootcamp 4 under OS X lion can not run Windows on another partition than the second one? In other words: If I now split my OS X partition into two to have all the iTunes and Apperture content on this second partition, will the third partition (Bootcamp) again not work anylonger? The Bootcamp help is not very precise in this point, it only talks about the installation process of Windows 7 that is only running when there is only one OS X partition, it does not at all say that - after installing Windows on the Bootcamp partition - the OS X partition must not be changed to prevent Windows from "dying". Does anyone out there have any experience on this, what will happen if I now split my OS X partiton into two with the second partition only containing iTunes and Apperture content and "ignore ownership" enabled? WIll Windows die again or did I do something wrong with my first try?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Two MacBooks, Two Users, One MobileMe Family account

My wife and I both have MacBooks (different ones). We have a MobileMe Family account. Each laptop uses are unique MobileMe names, address books, calendars, etc... (i.e. I have an account, she has a MobileMe account). We both also have our own iPhone linked to these accounts respectively.
We also have a 'joint' MobileMe account (email and calendar only). This same joint account is the iTunes account for both of us.
We are still on MobileMe. I see lots of people having problems.
One problem I anticipate we will have is: How will iCloud know how to sync our accounts between hers, mine, and ours? There apparently is only one setting: ON and OFF.
We want our individual MobileMe accounts syncing email and calendars from our MacBooks and iPhones -- but our Joint account (iTunes, email, calendar) syncing to us both.
Is this going to be a mess on iCloud?
Thanks for any tips on how to better prepare for the conversion.

Roger,
Thanks for the reply.
I think I understand what you are saying.
I am wondering why the iCloud would be device-dependent. For instance, we have in our home two MacBooks, two iPhones, one iPad, one AppleTV. So, somewhat preciently knowing we'd eventually have more Apple devices, our main account (esp for iTunes) is our joint account. Joint email, calendar, and iTunes/iBooks content. Works great.
So, if we had a family with children with their own accounts, would it then not be possible for each person to have their own accounts and iCloud syncing off of, say, one home computer?
I recall in Steve Jobs's presentation that they 'demoted' the computer to just a device served by iCloud (much like the iPhone, iPad, etc... So, if an iPad can have multiple MobileMe accounts, as a MacBook may, why couldn't iCloud sync them all?
Thanks for the instruction -- just trying to figure out how to get things set up when we go to iCloud (we haven't turned it on yet for this reason).
I see in the discussions forums loads of issues from people switching over.
Maybe the right way to do it is each MacBook retains their accounts. Same with the iPhones. But turn off the other, shared accounts. Turn on iCloud...let it see everything, get synced: Computer A with iPhone A with iCloud Account A (email and contacts only). And Computer B with iPhone B with iCloud Account B (email and contacts only). Then add in the shared iCloud Account (email/calendar/iTunes only).
Thoughts?

User forgot passcode, now what?

OK, it probably sounds like a stupid question, but I think it is a catch 22. Using Profile Manager, I manage 30 or so iPads for our enterprise. The SSID/Network info is delivered to each device via profiles, so the end user never knows the network setup. All is great. We also require a passcode from the user, that changes every 90 days.
Problem: User forgets passcode. OK, sounds easy enough, just go to the MacMini and clear the passcode on the device via Profile Manager...oh wait, how will the iPad ever authenticate/connect to the network, if it never officially gets past the passcode screen? User needs to input passcode to connect to the Wi-Fi....Wi-Fi cannot connect until user logs in,....can't be done.
Am I missing something here? The 'Clear Passcode' option in Profile Manager sounds great, until you can't get any Wi-Fi connection on the affected device, so that the push from the Profile Manager actually happens...

I can't remember if it's the PM or the clients that periodily poll the to see if there have been any profile changes
This happens without user invervation screen locked or not rather like how you can receive notifications with the screen locked
Touching the screen should wake up network regardless of lock
If needed restarting the device would also kick the network connection into life
The biggest problem I've come across is users treating IOS devices like MacBooks and turning them off
So push settings are not getting to the devices I've had to do a bit of user re-education.
What I have is several wireless ssid's one of which I use for enrollment and trouble shooting
My ssid's are pushed out with auto join enabled different groups have access to different WLAN ssid's
What I've observed with IOS is it will automatically join the last auto join wireless it finds
So if I'm having a problem with a device I start up my enroll WLAN it will auto join it
I do what I need to do and shutdown enroll WLAN the device will again auto join the WLAN that's still on
Eg staff
I use apple configurator to install my enroll wireless, trust cert, auto enroll Profiles on my devices
Turn on enroll wlan Enroll the devices
profile manager to push mail,group WLAN, VPN etc out
Shut enroll WLAN down - devices auto join correct WLAN
Any other changes pushed out as needed over whatever WLAN the device is connected to
