IPhone oddly associates itself with other user's iTunes accounts

Hello everyone,
I have been having a strange problem. Most times that I use someone else's wireless network for Internet access and that person also has an iTunes account, my iPhone will automatically associate with that user's iTunes account. Usually, if I restart the phone, it reassociates with my iTunes account, but this time it is stuck on my friend's account. I never manually entered his account information.
As a result, I cannot download any new apps or update existing apps, as the iPhone asks for my friend's password when I try to download from the App Store.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
You'll need to sync the iPhone with a computer that is signed into the iTunes Store with your AppleID.

  • How do I stop sharing mail with other users on my computer

    How do I stop sharing mail with other users on my Macbook pro?

    You may have to set up different user accounts in the computer if you wish to
    continue sharing the computer among other people, and only use the Mail app.
    Otherwise, if you use a webmail such as yahoo, gmail, or other, just use a browser
    and login each time; then there is no saving of your email to the computer as such.
    I've never used an email client software, nor had an ISP based email account. So
    my numerous computers have never downloaded email into software. No loss.
    But the answers do include setting up extra user accounts, not admin level, so the
    other users do not mess with the operating system; a standard account or just a
    guest account to use a browser to access web-based login email accounts, works.
    There are third-party email client for OS X, some are free applications, others are
    part of a larger browser product, such as SeaMonkey, & other Mozilla derivatives.
    They provide an email segment or client aspect; unlike Firefox that's a browser.
    Setup information should be within the Help viewer in the computer itself. Or by a
    simple search online, including the OS X version and any email client software
    your computer may have installed. Some browser software includes email client.
    Also there are several ways to go in this matter. I don't see questions, only answers.
    To learn how the Mail application works, if you want to import everyone's mail, then
    figure how to set up user accounts in the OS X. Or use web-mail & login by browser.
    Hopefully you can find the best solution for the unasked question.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Hello i payed a Iphone4s and i will registried of my account i can,t do this he says the iphone is registy of a other user but i can ussing i cloud and ican found my iphone but the old owner has this remove from his i,cloud

    Hello i payed a Iphone4s and i will registried of my account i can,t do this he says the iphone is registy of a other user but i can ussing i cloud and ican found my iphone but the old owner has this remove from his i,cloud
    but she by this iphone from a other owner and sche has no contact to the owner
    sory my englisch are not perfeckt

    There is a possibility that you've bought a stolen iphone which has an iClould lock on it. The only way to remove an iCloud lock is to contact the previous owner of your phone and inform him of your problem. But you dont know who the previous owner is hence you cant unlock your phone. Do a fresh restore with itunes by connecting your iphone to your pc, opening up itunes and clicking restore. I'm not sure if that'll help, but it's worth a try. Hope I helped. Cheers

  • Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?

    Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?

    No. iCloud provides no equivalent of the iDisk; it's designed for syncing calendars, email, bookmarks, contacts, photos a iWork (only, so far) documents between your Mac(s) and iPhone/iPod/iPad. The data is not accessible to anyone else.
    For file storage and sharing you will need a third-party solution - this page examines some options:

  • HT2515 Does iChat work with other users that are on other types of smartphones?  or only Mac phones and Mac mail, contacts, etc?

    Does iChat work with other users that are on other types of smartphones?  or only Mac iPhones and iMac Mail, Contacts, etc?

    Hi,
    The Messages Beta will Send iMessage to iPhones (Messages replaces iChat)
    iChat can SMS to phones
    It needs the computer to be listed as if it in the United States and contacting a Phone that is on a Carrier in the United States that is accepting SMS forwarding from AIM
    You list the Buddy as AIM and then +plus their number as in +123456789
    The computer can be made to "think" it is in the United States in System Preferences > International (or Text a Language in Lion) then Formats tab.
    The Phone has to be a US phone with all the trimmings about AIM's SMS forwarding.

  • Does home sharing allow me to share my iTunes library with other users on the same imac

    Does home sharing allow me to share my iTunes library with other users on the same imac? 

    Apparently so (as long as each user operates out of a different Mac User account).
    After setting up home sharing in the various different user accounts on the Mac, you need to have iTunes open in the account that you want to Home Share from.
    Now use fast User Switching to get into the account that you want to Home Share to. Launch iTunes in there. The library in the other account should appear as shared for you.

  • How to share administrator iPhoto library with other users on same iMac?

    How to share administrator iPhoto library with other users on same iMac?

    This is the part I'm referring to:
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    The library stays in the Pictures folder for this.

  • How do i share my itunes library with other users on the same mac

    I'm trying to share my itunes library with other users on the same mac.  I have tried moving my library to a public folder but when the other user logs in they can't see it in the public folder?

    Presuming you moved the entire iTunes folder to the shared folder the other users need to start their iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and select the iTunes Library.itl file in the shared folder.  Only once should be necessary.  Note that any changes anybody makes will be seen by everybody, so you have to trust each other a lot.
    If all you moved are media files each user will have to add those files to their iTunes library.

  • Question re. sharing iTunes library with other user accounts

    I have seen this document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
    I want to share one library with four users on my account.  I'd like for any music purchased or ripped to this computer to end up in User 1's iTunes library, and for Users 2, 3 and 4 to have access to User 1s library just as User 1 does.
    When I follow the directions for "Listening to another account's music files" in the above referenced document, it tells me to navigate to User 1's library through the dialog box that pops up after User 2 clicks "Add to LIbrary". 
    The problem is, when User 2 is doing that, and User 1 has put the iTunes library in ~user1/public, as the directions suggest, that dialog box won't allow user 2 to access User 1's Public folder.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks in advance...
    Chris

    Another long description in store here...
    iTunes has two main elements. One is the library.itl database file.  When you open iTunes it is this that you see. It contains what music is in a library, playlists, date added, playcount, etc.  It is this that is really the library.  The other element are the media files. When you tell iTunes to play a track it checks in its library file which music file is associated with that track and goes and plays it.
    Now you say, "for Users 2, 3 and 4 to have access to User 1s library just as User 1 does."  Do you really want User 4 to be able to go and delete or rename tracks, or change the playlists? This can be done if you really want it.  Or do you want each person to keep their own library [file] and share media?  Even that has disadvantages as a person might still be able to rename a file or even delete it for all.  At least everybody would have their own playlists, ratings, etc, though a person could delete a file and then it would appear as a broken link for others.  To be honest, iTunes isn't great for sharing.

  • Can I share some, not all music, with other users on same iMac?

    Hi,
    I want to be able to share some musice with other users on the same iMac?
    Is it possible to do without having to share everything?
    Thanks, Crankyhead.

    Create a playlist containing the music you want to share. Then select Preferences in iTunes and from there select the Sharing tab. Turn on "Share my library on my local network" then click on "Share selected playlists" and click on the playlist(s) you want to share.

  • Share itunes with other users, windows 8

    I have just bought a new PC running windows 8. For each member of my family I have set up individual user accounts. I have then installed iTunes and attempted to follow the instructions located at iTunes: How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer - Apple Support to ensure that we can all access my centrally stored iTunes media/libraries. I have followed the instructions to the letter but it does NOT WORK on Windows 8. It may have worked on other versions, but not windows 8. Please, do not respond with the above link - it's already driven me crazy that this is the only result google turns up.
    In iTunes, I have used 'edit preferences' to select the public music - 'iTunes media' folder on all accounts, and keep checking the actual public folder (C - Users - Public - Public Music - ITunes - ITunes Media) to make sure all the data is there. Indeed it is there. But for each other user, iTunes won't display any of the songs in my library, or any of the playlists.
    I have even tried holding shift, opening iTunes and then selecting the central library. This just results in the music all being displayed, but iTunes displaying the message that it can't find any of the songs.(I have over 30,000...).
    I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes several times, and have deleted and reinstalled the iTunes data - music. libraries etc (currently backed up on an external HDD) several times. I can get iTunes to work on my account only (administrator) - but whenever I try to set up other users to access the public content, iTunes won't cooperate.
    As far as I can tell, with Windows 8, there is NO WAY TO SHARE YOUR ITUNES LIBRARIES WITH OTHER USER ACCOUNTS. I have read all the previous threads on this topic, have googled everything, and have looked on youtube
    Apple - this not good enough.

    Was it these directions?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
    Did you read the line at the bottom?
    +When another user of the computer has imported new music from CD, repeat steps 6 through 8 to add the music to your library+ .
    You need to drag the public folder over into those user's itunes window.
    Alternatively, itunes menu > file > add folder to library
    When you download or rip new CDs, each user has to add it manually to their library list.
    Or use something like itunes folder watch.
    When you changed the other users itunes preferences, that will affect FUTURE additions. Now you are in the future and they need to add those songs to their itunes database list.
    With itunes 9 you might have success putting new music in this *Automatically Add to itunes* folder

  • How do I sink calendars with other users on the same computer

    How do I sink calender info with other users on the same computer?

    Hi there,
    First..I am new to this forum and find the information provided to be very helpful... I had followed the iTunes link above to enable sharing between users in the same computer but it appears to be working on partially. What setup am I looking for ?
    1. We have an iMac (Snow Leopard) with 1 Adult ID and 2 children IDs
    2. The iTunes music folder is stored in a Shared public folder where the Adult ID has read/write access and the 2 kids with read-only access (so that they don't accidently delete songs...:-)
    3. The iTunes on the Adult ID has the access to purchase songs. The kids have no acccess to buy songs
    4. All songs, podcasts to be visible to all users
    What has happened ?
    1. I am able to make the base of songs visible to all users
    2. However when a song is purchased by the adult account ..it is not visible to the kids account ..:-{
    3. The same thing occurs when a song is imported from a CD
    4. When a new playlist is created by the Adult account it is not visible to the kids account ..:-(
    How can I make changes made by the Adult be made visible to the kids without having the need to constant add music files or libraries for each kid..?
    Thanks in advance..
