Is having two admin accounts on an iMac like having two separate computers?

I mean, for example, do you need to run items like Lion Cache Cleaner for each account?

FWIW, I do none of that stuff, preferring to let the OS do its own cleanup. See:

  • My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac.  We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes.  How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

    My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac.  We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes.  How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

    If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
    If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

  • I have two separate iTunes libraries on two separate Computers. I need to consolidate them so I can play them on a brand new computer. How do I do this so I can play them off an External Hard Drive on my brand new computer?

    Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
    At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

  • HT1918 My husband and I share an iTunes account but we would like to have separate accounts.  How do we set that up?

    My husband and I currently share an iTunes account but we would like to have separate accounts. How do we do this?

    you would have to create a new appleid for one of you in itunes or at appleid.apple.com since you cant split up an account
    you can't move purchases from one to another but you can always keep that account for the store and just use the new one for icloud facetime etc

  • HT5177 How can two people edit the same FCPX file? One company, so both people/computers share the same license. Example: I work on revision A and my boss takes it and makes revision B and gives it back to me using two separate computers.

    Have the project, events and media on one drive which is common to both macs.
    You can download FCP X to both macs using the same Apple ID that it was purchased with.

  • Is it possible to use Time Machine with an external hard drive for two separate computers?

    I'm looking to purchase an external hard drive to use as with time machine as a backup for two separate computers.  I'm not sure if I should buy 2 EHDs and dedicate one to each computer, or if Time Machine has the capacity to back up both computers separately.  Anyone have any experience with this?
    Thanks!

    You can make two partitions on a single drive and dedicate one to each computer.
    The pic is of a single external usb drive with three partitions( a Time Machine and two image backups) for two computers

    Can I use two separate computers with the same adobe ID.  I want to update my kobo from either unit

    I doubt it is possible to run two instances of iTunes on the computer at the same time.  To do so would require two users to be signed in and running iTunes under each user.
    The better solution would be to either clean up and merge the two libraries or have iTunes running on a second computer.

  • Can two user accounts of one computer use two different Mac ID accounts?  I'd like to keep separate accounts for movies, music etc.

    I have a Mac Air running 10.8.5, with two users on it.  I'd like to keep separate Apple store accounts accounts for the two users, as we have separate music, movies, books etc.  To date, we've had separate computers, but now will share the one computer.  But when the second account is signed in and we try to sign in to the I-tunes store, or authorise the computer with the second account, the response is "the I-Tunes store is not available" or "we cannot fulfil your request at this time".  Togetherness is nice, but I'd prefer to have some privacy.

    Hi Harrike2000,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re running into an iTunes Store connection issue in one of the user accounts on your MacBook Air, and you want to know if the issue is related to using multiple Apple IDs or user accounts.
    You can use multiple user accounts and Apple IDs with one computer, see this article for more information:

  • Repeated 0X800CCC7D errors on Two Separate Computers using Outlook 2002 & 2003

    We are having the same problem as many have reported on this website:  Error 0X800CCC7D
    My wife and I have two independent computers operating on a NEW Verizon Wireless Gateway, one connected directly and one using the Wi-Fi. using Outlook my computer using 2003, wife's 2002.
    Both computers are experiencing outgoing messages hanging up in our Outboxes.
    Neither computer has any problem receiving messages.
    This has been going on since roughly October 1, 2013.
    My computer will usually send the messages if I close Outlook 2003 then reopen it.  This work around has worked for my wife's computer using 2002 for several weeks but now that doesn't work nor re-starting the computer.  The messages are just common, couple paragraph messages with no attachments.  This happens with both New messages and Replies to messages received.
    Both computers have been checked, rechecked, and rechecked several times and all the settings are correct according to Verizon's latest setup instructions using:
    pop.verizon.net; 995; smtp.verizon.net;465; same Verizon Online user name and Password we have always had and SSL is checked.
    No other changes to our systems have been made.
    This is costing both of productive time and according to this Forum MANY users have been affected with this same problem.
    We are using AVG Anti-virus protection and both computers have been scanned several times by AVG, Skybot Search and Destroy, Malwarebytes and CCleaner with no found problems.  The Registry has been scanned on both computers with CCleaner and all problems have been fixed.
    There have been NO CHANGES in each of these computers along with other users experiencing the same issuses so I believe this is a Verizon problem.
    I might add that this is the slowest website I have been on in years.
    Please advise.

    I just got off the phone with Verizon, the tech took control of my computer and checked all the settings and reset my password and Outlook still would not send messages and they collect in my Outbox.
    The only way we could get Outlook to send was by Disabling AVG and that fix worked for both computers.
    I thought the problem was over, but no sooner I get off the phone with Verizon I have the exact same symptoms.
    I have already checked my AVG settings and it was already set to no scan outgoing emails so I don't think that is the problem.
    Verizon is quick to blame the malfunction on some other source.
    When I go to Tools>E-mail accounts>view or change existing email accounts>change>Test Account Settings the test email goes through on both computers.
    I have updated Windows and AVG with no joy.  Virus scan pick up nothing.  Registry cleanup does not help.
    Right now, the only way I can get messages to send on both computers is to close Outlook and re-open, then they send.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Can two users on two separate computers share their screens?

    I often conduct training sessions and demos in a conference room with a large monitor mounted on the wall. I often have remote participants, so I use Lync or Live Meeting, along with a dial-in number for the audio.
    Lately I've been wanting to share not just my screen, but also another participant's screen, so I can demonstrate what's happening at both my end and at the participant's end.
    This is not the same thing as sharing two monitors connected to the same computer. This is sharing two separate monitors connected to two different computers, both of them using Lync.
    Is this possible? If so, how?

    Lync will use the MCU fro your conference. You will be able to show both screens but not at the same time.
    You can only show a screen from one presenter at the same time and you have to switch to the other presenter.

  • After downloading 24.5.0 I get frequent "stalling" and hanging of Thunderbird, on two separate computers with McAfee

    While reading mail that has already downloaded, Thunderbird seems to stall when selecting a new message, and I get a message from Windows at the top of the screen telling me that Thunderbird is not responding. If I wait a couple minutes this clears up and I can click on the next message. I can work normally for a while, then it will hang a few times, then it clears up for a while. Windows 7, 64-bit. Happens on two different computers with different apps running, different anti-virus packages, probably not all the settings are identical.

    First, thanks for offering to help.
    Anti-Virus Related Issues
    1. McAfee AntiVirus Plus doesn't create an extension called McAfee Anti-Spam Thunderbird Extension in Tools | Addons | Extensions as noted in the web article. Nothing there. It does create two other plugins in Tools | Addons | Plugins. One is called McAfee Security Center and the other is called McAfee Virtual Technician. Disabling either had no impact upon mail performance. Yes, I closed the application and restarted it after turning the plugins off to be sure that they weren't still running.
    2. Disabling attachment scanning didn't seem to have any impact, but I may have to wait until I get some significant attachments to tell for sure on that.
    Routine Sysadmin Chores:
    1. Yes, using POP. One computer does not remove mail from the server, the other does, daily. There is no significant build up of old mail on the server. Also, nothing changed in this regard from before installing 24.5.0.
    2. I do archive mail, but mostly I clean out the folders. There is not a big accumulation of email in folders, particularly on the machine running McAfee. Regardless, this hasn't changed since I installed 24.5.0.
    3. I empty junk and spam folders several times a day on whichever computer is being used, and compact regularly. There is no build up in those folders.
    On the bright side, both systems seem to be doing better with mail this morning, before doing anything at all to try and fix the problem. I am going to let this sit for a few days and see how it performs.
