IPhone sync contact book location auto switching between users

On a PC. Using iTunes 7.4.1. One user account on computer, two users sharing, each with own iPhone. I sync my contacts with windows address book. other user with yahoo account. groovy. But, when I log out and the other user plugs in, iTunes has decided to auto-switch settings so new user syncs via windows address book instead of yahoo settings. Second user's music playlist sync stays intact, as does their custom photo folder. It just seems to think we should share our contacts.
Very communist in basic philosophy, if you ask me. Has anyone ever heard of this sloppy glitch and if there is some duct tape fix for it? Already ruining my iPhone experience.
Thanks!

Who's threadjacking? I was just trying to relate that there are other issues with the current setup, and that it sounds like this is not an ActiveSync issue. How is ActiveSync even involved in the OP statement? He's on direct Exchange Server connection.... It sounds like the OP didn't have an issue before going to 5.x, and now does, and he isn't the only one. You people on this forum are getting mean and knowitally....I haven't been on here much in quite a while, and I come back to look around and try and help because of the recent issues I've seen, and you all talk down your noses at me.....Not very professional if you ask me...OP, if local syncing through iTunes is a good workaround for you, I'd do that, but I would also go to the apple feedback page and submit something on this issue. I submitted one for my issue all ready....Threadjacking....ha. You folks need to take a chill pill and play nice... We're all here to help each other out....That's all I was trying to do. Perhaps I can get a bit wordy  sometimes...but really..

  • Forced to Close all open applications when switching between users.

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13 inch, and have 2 accounts set up on the computer.
    When switching between users on the computer, I am always forced to close all open applications on the current user, in order to switch to another user.
    I was wondering if there was ANY way to keep the pages (specifically Safari) open when switching to another user, so that I can go back to them when I log back in to the other account.
    thanks for the help!

    Enjoy!

  • When switching between user accounts, the background desktop picture disappears and goes to just a blue background. Whats up with that?

    All fixed! It was TeamViewer that was causing the problem.

  • Switch between user accounts - graphics

    How do I set up Snow Leopard so that when I switch between user accounts the screen gives the appearance of swiveling on an axis?

    That is strange, I never noticed before, but I just tested a few scenarios, it looks like it only rotates on the first login of another user... OR... after another user logs out and you choose another logged in one.

  • Auto switch between two networks in one location

    I have two wireless basestations in my home. They run on 802.11g, but have different network names and passwords. If I have the names and passwords stored in Keychain, is there anyway to have the computer automatically switch between the networks with the best signal?
    Also, is there a utility that can automatically switch between connection methods based on which one has the fastest speed (i.e. an ethernet and wifi card, maybe one is faster than the other sometimes)?

    I never realized that. Why is that?
    A base station acting as a relay or remote must handle the traffic wirelessly 2 times.
    The relay (or remote) base station must listen for the data from the main base station.
    The relay (or remote) base station must then transmit the data to the client.
    This means that wireless network can only handle half the data.
    Every time you add a WDS relay or remote the available bandwidth gets cut again.
    Do you think you're approach is always better?
    Connecting them via Ethernet will result in the full wireless bandwidth being available.

  • Iphone syncs contacts from PC

    At the ATT web site their info states the new Iphone will sync your contacts from your PC. I have Palm Desktop and my contacts are in Palm Desktop. Would some of you please comment. Thanks

    On a Mac, the iPhone syncs with Apple's Address Book application for contact information, and with iCal for calendar events. You can also sync with Entourage 2004 or 2008, but it is Entourage that is being synced with Apple's Address Book and with iCal - the iPhone does not sync directly with Entourage on a Mac.
    That being said, the iPhone does not support syncing with Palm Desktop, but you can sync Palm Desktop with the Address Book and with iCal on your Mac.
    You can do this with the iSync application on your Mac, where you can enable Palm OS syncing.

  • Contacts app extremely slow switching between groups

    After upgrading to Mavericks, my Contacts app is extremely slow loading contacts when switching between groups. Clicking on a group causes the beach ball to appear, and only after several about 10 seconds does the contacts in that group load. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

    I had the same issue as you did -- for a few weeks now I've been suffering through agonizingly slow Contacts performance.
    The way I resolved it was:
    1) Quit Contacts
    2) Go to system preferences and go into iCloud, then uncheck contacts -- choosing to delete from mac.
    3) Go into system preferences and to Internet Accounts and again uncheck contacts under any of the accounts it's enabled on (gmail, yahoo, etc).
    4) Go to your user's library folder (easiest way is to open a finder window, hold down the option key on the keyboard and from the Go menu, select Library).
    5) Delete anything referring to Address book or com.apple.address book....   -- check these folders in particular:
         - Address Book
         - Application Support
         - Caches
         - Preferences
    6) Restart your computer
    7) Go back into System preferences and enable contacts from wherever you want (iCloud, etc.)
    8) If it's not quite enabling (appears to enable, but checkbox doesn't show), then do one more restart of the computer.
    9) Now open Contacts and allow it to sync

  • Safari auto switches between windows, makes the front window inactive...

    Hi all,
    I'm having a really annoying problem with Safari...
    When I'm browsing quite often the front window kind of deselects itself, say for instance I have a couple of browser windows open and the downloads window, it will automatically bring the downloads window to the front! Meaning I then have to click on the browser window to make it active so I can then continue whatever I am doing... I am not pressing any key commands for this to happen (I know cmd and ~ (tilde) does this as I use it often to switch between windows). It just does it off it's own back, it's like someone else is controlling the window...
    Funnily enough, it's just happened then again! when i'm typing this message, it brought the downloads window to the front and then this one back to the front, in the space of a second or so...
    Thanks in anticipation as this is one **** of an annoying problem!

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try maintenance...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
    And make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
    If you still have problems with Safari, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

  • M45 S359 laptop auto switch between ethernet and wireless

    Had a HDD failure, replaced the HDD and rebuilt system.  Everything is working with the exception of autoswitching the connecting to the internet.  The machine used to auto switch to wireless if the ethernet cable was removed and connect via wireless or vise versa.  I now have to manually switch to the connection, do a repair before it will connect.  Once the repair is done, the connection is solid. It is probably a simple?? configuration somewhere, but I do not know where.   Need some guidance,  Tx..

  • Fast switch between users

    I wonder why it is not possible to swtich between users witout entering a password. I have a test user and often have to switch between my account and that of the test user. Now, if there were a way to exchange certificates like in SSH the switching would be possible without tedious entering of passwords. Has nobody thought about that?

    Here is another way to approach the problem.  Instead of Fast User Switching, use Screen Sharing.  But I did have to play some tricks to get the Screen Sharing client to allow me to access a testaccount on the same Mac.
    System Preferences -> Sharing -> Screen Sharing.  Enable AND Allow the testaccount to use Screen Sharing.
    System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Login.  Enable AND Allow the testaccount to be accessed via ssh.
    Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal (this is where I play a trick on Screen Sharing)
    ssh -L 59222:localhost:5900 localhost
    You are using ssh to create a tunnel that will trick Screen Sharing into thinking it is NOT connecting to itself.  When ssh prompts for a password, it expects your own password.
    Finder -> Go -> Connect to server... -> vnc://testaccount@localhost:59222
    You will be prompted for the 2nd account's password.
    You will then be asked to "Share Display" or "Log In".  Choose "Log In" and a new Fast User Session will be started, and you will have access to it via Screen Sharing.
    No need to actually Fast User Switch, Just use the Screen Sharing session to access your testaccount's session.
    You can also attach a Screen Sharing session after having started the testaccount via Fast User Switching.
    The 2 key items above (besides making sure System Preferences is setup correctly) 1) creating an ssh tunnel to trick Screen Sharing, 2) using the vnc://testaccount@localhost:59222 from Finder -> Go -> Connect to server.
    Bonus points.  From "Another" Terminal session (NOT the one running ssh), you can start Screen Sharing WITHOUT using the Finder via 'open' command:
    open vnc://testaccount@localhost:59222
    The -L 59222:localhost:5900 syntax has rules.  The 5900 is the Screen Sharing server port number (aka the VNC server port number).  The 59222 is a number I picked out of the air.  It is less then 65535 and larger than the low numbered well known port numbers, so it is not going to interfere.  The 59222 is the port number you tell Screen Sharing, via the Finder or 'open' command, where Screen Sharing can find the Screen Sharing server it is suppose to use.

  • Switching between user groups

    Hello,
    Is it possible to switch between two portals without having a user to log
    out of the portal after the user selects a group portal when a user belongs
    to two groups? How can I go about that?
    I am thinking of creating a link webflow item to start, then retrieve the
    groups the user belongs to other than the groups of the portal currently
    logged in. Then switch to the other portal, preferrably without having to
    re-authenticate the user.
    Thank you,
    Makoto

    Yes the 2 portals are of the same web app and a domain. In fact they are the
    same portal app, just showing different content depending on the group user
    belong to.
    Thanks!

    Are the 2 portals part of the same webapp? Same domain? etc.. this willhelp determine different SSO mechanisms.

  • Switching Between User Accounts

    Hey everyone, I have a question regarding Fast User Switching. I've noticed that every now and then, randomly, if I switch between someone's account to mine, the display profile (the display's color) will switch from Color LCD to some other color profile. Does anyone know why this happens?
    Thanks.

    Does this article contain anything useful?

  • IPhone syncing with new located Songs

    Well all my songs are in a new location, and the songs on my iphone the songs where synced off the old location so will they be replaced if I sync now?

    Let me see if I understand what you are saying. You have moved the location of your iTunes library? Is it on the same computer that you have been syncing with in the past? If so, then it shouldn't be a problem. Even if it was to replace the music, it would replace it with what is currently on there.
