IPhone sim swap between different accounts

Is it possible to do the sim swap upgrade across 2 different AT&T accounts? For example, taking the sim card from my personal iPhone 5S and putting into a work-provided iPhone 6? Both are under contract. I use my personal line for business while the work phone collects dust in a drawer. Obviously, I would rather use the iPhone 6.
I know this works with the iPhones in my AT&T Family Share plan, but could not find any indication this would work with iPhones on different accounts.

I'm by no means an expert, but my understanding is that your account info (phone number at least, which is linked to account info externally) is on the SIM card. Therefore the account changes with the SIM card, from phone to phone.
Others more knowledgable may correct me...

HT1203 iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer - I tried to use the instructions to configure 2 different windows users sharing the same iTunes library. I could not get this to work per the instructions.

I tried to configure 2 windows users accounts using a single library per the instructions in HT1203. My iTunes library is on an external drive. I cannot get this to work. Any suggestions?

To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.

There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

How to share music between different accounts on a single computer

I am trying to share music on my Mac between two different iTunes accounts. Can this be done?

Sharing music between different accounts - is this how it works?

The way iTunes shares music between different users seems a bit poor.
I have two user accounts set up on the same PC, with music files accessed by each from the same folder (as described here: How To Share Music Between Different Accounts On A Single Computer).
My main issues are:
1) I have to manually add new music added by the other user instead of it just appearing in iTunes.
2) iTunes doesn't recognise if a music file is already in the joint library, so we end up with two copies of things (particularly tiresome for podcasts).
Am I doing something wrong - maybe there is an easy way around this?
... or do the people at Apple need to do a bit of work here?

By default, any new file or folder created is set to be read+write for the creator, and read-only for everyone else. The file creator can grant write access to other users by changing the permissions on a folder and its contents, as Neil suggests. But you'll have to repeat that process every time a new file is added.
Fortunately, there is a way to automatically grant read+write access to all files created or copied to the folder. First go to System Preferences -> Accounts. Click the + button under the users list. Then, make a new group; calling it "sharegroup" or something similar. Add the users you want to the group.
Then put all the files you want to share into a commonly-accessible folder, such as a subfolder in /Users/Shared.
Then log in to an admin account and open Terminal. Paste in the following two lines:
sudo chmod -R +a "sharegroup allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
Press return, then drag the folder into the Terminal window, and press return again. Enter admin password when prompted and press return. That should do it. Everything there now should be fully writable by all users in sharegroup. New files that are *created in* or *copied to* the folder will be the same way.
Files that you *move in* from a different location on the same hard drive won't be, though. So make sure you copy previously existing files into the sharefolder instead of moving them (hold down option key while dragging to copy) so that they get the custom permissions applied.

Sharing music between different accounts on a single computer

I have read the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203 , but I'm still having a problem.
Scenario: Two Ipods, one PC (WinXP), one big music library, originally created and stored directly in C:\My Music, which is accessible to all users of the PC. From my non-admin account, I add folders and files to my itunes library, modify songs and artwork, no problem. Now my son has an iPod, and I would like to be able to share out portions of the C:\My Music library with him. It kind of works. He adds files and folders to his library, on his account, in his itunes. The music is there, but it is somehow protected. No artwork, in fact I get the "artwork is not modifiable" message. Nor can he modify any info in the songs. In a few cases, the artwork comes with the songs, but mostly not. In either case, no info in the songs are modifiable. Neither of our Windows XP user accounts are admin, but why does my account seem to "own" the songs? He's not going to be happy without any artwork in his library or on his ipod.
Any ideas? Thanks!

It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.

IPhone Mail Sending from Different Accounts

I have taken a look and cannot see anything on this topic - but I am having trouble with my iPhone sending emails from different accounts.
I have 5 IMAP accounts setup for different emails. When I go to send from one account, it seems to send from my GMail account (which is first in my email list), this is also true for when I reply or forward emails from any of the 4 other accounts.
I thought this might be due to the default mail option in the settings, so I changed this to another account but it was still all sending from my GMail account. When I turned the GMail account off - all accounts worked fine independently.
Has anyone experienced this and know if its a setting somewhere? or a problem in general?
Many thanks

I am not sure - but I have had to disable the GMail for now so that I can send and forward from my other accounts. Its rather annoying that its defaulting to sending from the GMail account.
Do you think deleting the account and then re-adding it will make any difference?

How to swap between iTunes accounts

I have 2 iTunes accounts on the one computer. How do I easily swap between the accounts? The only way I have been able to do it is by deauthorising the computer for one of the accounts? Suggestions

Both accounts can be authorised on the same iTunes at the same time. You can swap between them if you want to make purchases with the other account by logging out of the current account (Store > Sign Out) and then logging in with the second account (Store > Sign In) - only one account can be signed in at a time.

Is there a way to be able to Edit pictures between different accounts on the same Mac?

Is there a way to be able to Edit pictures between different accounts on the same Mac?

What does 'edit pictures between different accounts' mean?
You can edit photos in each account. You can share the Library so the same library is available in all accounts. But I'm not sure what you're asking for.

Swapping between different logical views

I am designing an applet that has several logical views, such as Login, Registration, Waiting Area, and Game. I am very new to applets and Swing, and I can't figure out how to have each of these designed separately and then swap between them. Ideally, this is what I would like:
1) Each view can be designed separately using NetBeans IDE, preferably in different classes for neatness.
2) When certain conditions are met (such as successful login), then all content in the applet window will be removed and replaced with that of a new view.
I attempted to use setContentPane to achieve this, but it doesn't seem to repaint correctly except when called initially. Otherwise, the setting the content pane and calling repaint will pain the screen blank. If you resize the window (only possible via applet viewers, not via web page applet) then the content displays properly. It seems like I need to somehow force the applet to repaint, but neither the repaint method nor manually modifying items, such as changing text on the new screen via setText, will not force it to display.
When I used setContentPane(myLoginGUI.getContentPane) in an event-dispatching thread during init, it correctly displays the login page.
Here's some of the code I was using, involving classes Client, LoginGUI, and RegisterGUI, which all extend japplet:
    //in Client.java:
    //called during init from an event dispatching thread
    //also called in RegisterGUI from button handler for goBackToLogin button
    public void createLoginGUI(){
        myLoginGUI = new LoginGUI();
        this.setContentPane(myLoginGUI.getContentPane());
        repaint();
    //called when user clicks register button from login page. button handler
    //is in LoginGUI
    public void createRegisterGUI() {
        myRegisterGUI = new RegisterGUI();
        this.setContentPane(myRegisterGUI.getContentPane());
        repaint();
    }Thanks for reading this and any insights you may have.

The easiest way is to use a CardLayout:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/card.html
In general, whenever you add or remove a compnent from a Container you need to validate(), or if its a Swing compnent, revalidate() the container. So you could try to validate() the frame before the repaint.

Transfering between different account names from OSX 10.5 to OSX10.6

Hi,
Is it possible to transfer all the settings, documents etc, between two different account names on OSX 10.6 ? I have set up some accounts on some staff laptops, and some of them will wish to transfer their data from their old Mac to their new Mac.
Some users account names will differ betwwen OSX 10.5 and OSX 10.6
I know this is possible with Windows 7 having just done it...Is it possible with OSX 10.6?

Hi,
Thanks I'll try your suggestion.
With regard to your comment on the staightjacket... I think you'll also find that most IT Managers would disagree and suggest that a uniform setup is best, especially for users logging into a network.
I understand that some people want to be different, and whilst I agree that some difference is a requirement ofusing a computer, the basics should remain the same, such as the users login name. We allow staff the freedom to do what they wish outside these boundaries, which is alot better that some Colleges I have see, who tie the laptop down making it impossible to even install a application.
I do appreciate your comments. They are food for thought, and I will see if we are able to assist the staff the way you have suggested. Thanks again.

Sharing photos between different accounts on a single comp

I wish to not only share my photos with my wife's account on my computer, but let her import photos, etc. With iTunes, I was able to move the music folder to the /users/shared directory and then change the folder location preference in iTunes.
iPhoto, however, does not have this preference allowed. How can I give a different account on my Mac full capability with my iPhoto library? I am running iPhoto 4 on OS 10.3.9
Thanks,
Adam

Adam,
iPhoto was not designed to be a multi-user application. While you can let other accounts view your photo collection by sharing, it gets messy when more than one owner has add and delete capabilities.
Having said that, you could probably do a similar thing with the iPhoto Library folder as what you've described with iTunes. Refer to the iPhoto Help topic "Moving the iPhoto Library to a new location".

Sync ical between different account holders on same imac g5

g'day.
I want to be able to sync the events of my ical with my wife who uses a different account on our imac. apple tells me you can't do this. any suggestions greatly appreciated.
thanks.

adam,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
(I always wanted to be able to say that to a newcomer but somebody always beat me to it.
The answer to your question depends on how you define "sync".
I have been using a very unique (at least to me) solution for the past 8 months or so involving PHP iCalendar, and publish and subscribe within ical.
I have 9 icals (3 from weather updates at www.project24.info , 1 each for my wife and I at home and at work, and one for birthdays) all sync'd to ical on 3 macs and a windows PC. On my G5 I have 2 other users on the G5 all syncing to the same directory, and using the grouping feature in ical 2.0 all their icals apear as one in ical. Each person who publishes to the directory also can subscribe to the ical of their choice if I allow them, and they can change their info as they wish when they wish.
Also using the group feature my wife (on her iMac g) and I sync our events, each with a writeable calendar that is grouped across the network. We see each others to do lists and events in the same calendar, and can change each other's input as necessary. When we have conflicts we either agree in person or change the times using invitations if I'm out of town or just talk it out . Crazy but it has worked well for us.
On my laptop when I travel I can make a change in ical, and it updates over the internet to the house, updating all icals in the home as they are refreshed from the phpicalendar directory.
Also, I have complete access to all the calendars over the internet for read only viewing when I am not at my PC or Mac but can get to a connection.
All this and I do NOT use a webdav server or .mac
This took me a lot of planning last year, and I was worried when I switched to Tiger and upgraded to ical 2.0 from 1.5, but believe it or not it made my implementatiion even slicker because of the groups feature that finally makes the calendars appear sync'd ( easier demonstrated than described)
Hope this is helpful to you.

Swap between different languages Nokia 6700s

I bought a new Nokia 6700s which is pretty good, useful and more nice new features
But some drawbacks still there and one of them as following:
When I am typing a new message in multi-language, and need to swap between them I have to follow these steps:
- Press * button
- Go to “Input options”
- Choose “Writing language”
- Go to “Primary writing language”
- Select the desired language
So as you can see, its long story and boring.
My inquiry is “is there easy way of swapping between languages easier than this??”
I am using always multi-languages and need anyone to help if possible
Thanks in Advance

Any advice

Backing up old iPhone and syncing with new iPhone 5 on a different account.

I recently purchased a new iPhone 5 on a straight talk account. I had an iPhone 4 on Verizon prior to now. My daughter and I have been sharing an iTunes account but this has caused us several problems receiving each other's texts and pictures and misc info. I signed up with a new iTunes account in an effort to avoid any future problems but I think I have created new problems. I have been trying to back up my old iPhone to the iTunes account and then sync it with the new phone. I was able to get my apps and music to appear on the new phone but my contacts and pictures didn't sync. I went into the iTunes program and marked the different things I wanted to sync. Still didn't work. Every time I run a sync with the new phone it acts like its a brand new phone and starts back at the programming stage with language and country option and then tells me to plug it into iTunes. Then the same process is repeated with the same result. Help. I just want to get my info off my old phone to my new phone and have a separate account from her. Also, I have an iMac and iPad. Please advise!

Please help somebody!!
