Itunes constantly trying to open in logged in users accounts on Vista

My new computer is constantly trying to open itunes in all logged in users accounts. Once it opens in one of the accounts it will continually make an error noise everytime it tries to open again because it obviously can only open in one account so the other accounts are getting the "unable to load.." message. When the logged in users go back into their account it will have what seems like 50 of the error messages. It is even trying to open in the users account that does not have an itunes account. This is very annoying. Please help! Thanks

If it is a new computer and you haven't installed anything except firefox, maybe there was something preinstalled on it. IIRC some Roxio software can be configured so that it starts up iTunes at system start for example.
One way to investigate this is to do a selective start up using MSConfig. Start off with just the essential items and the iTunes related programs as in this article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292?viewlocale=en_US
If the problem disappears with the selective startup, start adding stuff back a few items at a time until the problem comes back.
It's a bit of a sledge hammer to crack a nut I am afraid, but it should allow you to identify the problem.

Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.

Thanks!

What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

I cannot log into user account with old password after using migration assistant.

I used Migration Assistant to move only my Settings and Users from my Power PC (User name RLE 5) to my Mac Pro. Because of what I have read in these forums I did not migrate applications or and files/folders. I will do that manually. After migrating I tried logging in to my user account RLE 5 on my Mac Pro, but it is telling me I am using the wrong password. I used the same password I used on my Power PC, but with no luck. On my Mac Pro I went into System Preferences>Accounts>RLE 5 account and changed the password. I then rebooted and tried again. No luck.
Can somebody help me with this problem?
Thank you.

What you propose would not solve the problem I am having. I must not have been clear about it. So I will elaborate.
I have a Power PC with 10.5.8. The admin user account name is RLE 5. I need a password to log into my root user account on my Power PC.
Then I bought a used Mac Pro with a clean install of 10.7.5 and no password set up yet for my admin user account. The admin user account name is Mac Pro. When I turn on the computer it opens to my admin user account where I have access to everything.
I used Migrations Assistant to move my Settings and Users from my Power PC to my Mac Pro. That seemed to to successfully.
So I now have four users on my Mac Pro: RLE 5 (the admin user from my Power PC with the password), Mac Pro (my admin user which does not require a password), and two guest user accounts.
I turn on my Mac Pro and it opens to my Mac Pro admin user account. I don't need to sign in. No problem.
I log out of Mac Pro. On my screen are the four user accounts. I click on RLE 5 (which was my admin user account on my Power PC that I migrated over to my Mac Pro) to log into that account and it asks me for a password. I type in the password I used for my Power PC. It keeps telling me it is the incorrect password.
I cannot log into my user account RLE 5 on the Mac Pro. I am being told I have the incorrect password. I've gone to System Preferences>Accounts and changed the password. It doesn't make a difference.
Also I cannot log into the Guest User account that migrated from the Power PC to the Mac Pro for the same reason. I have also tried to change the password for that Guest User account also but with no luck.
Another interesting thing has happened. I decided to give my Mac Pro admin user account a password by going to System Preferences>Accounts. But when I do a test to sign into my admin user account Mac Pro it tells me it is the wrong password. Luckily I can reboot the computer and it opens to my Mac Pro user without asking for a password. But if I log out of Mac Pro and try to then sign back in with the password it tells me it is the incorrect password.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

How can I get Win 10 to open to my prefered user account?

How can I get Win 10 to open to my prefered user account? It insists on going to my Administrative account.

Hi,
We could click the Back button beside the account Picture, then the screen would list the account available on this PC:
After that, we could choose the account we want to use.
Another way is to enable this policy:
Interactive logon: Do not display last user name
If this policy is enabled, the full name of the last user to successfully log on is not displayed on the Secure Desktop, nor is the user’s logon tile displayed;
If this policy is disabled, the full name of the last user to log on is displayed, and the user’s logon tile is displayed.
Press Win +X, then open the Run box, type Gpedit.msc, when opening the Local Group Policy Editor, navigate to the following path:
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options
On the right pane, find the above policy and then enable it.
More information about that policy, please see:
Interactive logon: Do not display last user name

I'm trying to log onto app store, but I keep getting a message that my device or computer is unable to be verify. How do I verify it. However, when I use itunes, I have no problems in logging onto my account with the same apple ID

I'm trying to log onto app store, but I keep getting a message the my device or computer is unable to be verified. How do I verify it when the app store will not allow me to log onto the account even when I use my Apple ID, which works with no problem on itunes. What is up and how do I correct it now!

Check your mac's Serial Number.
Some people have problems with missing serial numbers on their Macs and that's the message you get when this happens.
Click on the Apple at the top left of the screen, open "About this Mac" and click on "More Info". You should see a list with information about your Macbook Air. Check that on the Serial Number field you have your Mac's Serial. If you have "SystemSerial#" written instead then that's your problem.
You can re-enter your serial number if you have a USB CD drive, it's not very straightforward but I can walk you through it if you need it.

TS1969 What if I want iTunes to run from the other user's account, but I want to work in my account for a while, without interupting what is playing? When I switch to my account, how can I STOP iTunes FROM TRYING TO OPEN on my side?

We like listening to music playing from wife's user account.
I want to do some work from my account.
I don't want iTunes to open on my user account.
It keeps trying to, giving me the alert beep and the "Cannot Open iTunes" alert.
How do I make it stop trying to automatically open on one account when it is already playing on the other account?
Again, I want to keep listening to what is playing through my wife's account, therefore I don't want it to open or try to open on my account.
Thanks for any guidance.

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

HT203175 itunes constantly tries to access itunes store.

When I start up Itunes, it constantly tries to access itunes store.
I've cleared cache, reinstalled itunes, de-authorised and authorised to no avail.

I am having similar issues since I downloaded the newest version of itunes. On random songs from my library (mostly purchased through itunes) I am asked to authorize the playing of the song!! What the ****, obviously I want to play the song or I wouldn't have clicked on it! I payed for this music and I should be able to listen to it when and how I want, with or without an internet connection.
Someone please help me! I have never had any problems with itunes before, but this one is going to make me crazy!

In trying to share music with multiple user accounts on one comp, I quit itunes, located my itunes media folder, moved it to a publicly accessible location. Problem is it didn't work and now I can't get it all back to the way it was.

In trying to share music with multiple users on one computer, I followed the directions on "iTunes:How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203). I did something wrong because i lost iTunes
Tried to put files back, but it is not the same. Plugged in my ipod and it is not recognizing my computer.
Can someone tell me where iTunes should be, and what sub files should be included with it. Thanks!

If you are seeing the "Connect to iTunes" logo, then your device is in Recovery Mode, and you will need to restore it:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Remote control kicks you out when trying to change the logged in user by clicking on the red N

I'm running Zen 6.5 with the latest updates and the latest agents... I can
successfully remote control a workstation through ConsoleOne but I have 2
issues:
1. If I'm in the middle of a remote session and I right click on the red
N icon and change the user, it kicks me out and says "operation is
currently disabled for the logged in user".
2. Whenever I log in it changes the desktop background to blank (it's
actually a blue background) and it doesn't change it back after I close
the remote session. If I physically go that workstation and logout and
log back in, it still keeps that same blue background.

Can't log into User Account after disrupting external hard drive

I keep my account (Admin) on an external hard drive due to the large volume of data. I mistakenly pulled out the USB cable to the drive while trying to resolve another issue. Subsequently, it appeared a lot of my data was missing. I restarted the computer and couldn't log into my user account. It seems pulling the USB cable to the external drive corrupted something. I verified both disks (internal & external) and all was OK. I ran Disk Permissions and tried to repair. The resultant information is attached at the bottom of this message.
I can access my data on the hard drive from my laptop over the network. I just can't get into my user account directly. Any ideas on how I can address this issue?

There may have been another solution to this problem but I went the route of creating another user name and migrated the data over to that name. Thank you!

Login to Jabber Client (Windows/Mac) with current logged in user account.

We are deploying Jabber Client for Windows and will eventually be deploying for Macintosh. I have no problem building the thinapp deployment package for the Jabber client. However, when the thinapp is ran, it always shows the account that was used to initially login to the client and setup the server connection.
Is there a way for the client to use the current logged in user in the sign in field? I am trying to automate or SSO the process of logging into Jabber.
Any and all ideas, tips, and/or tricks are greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Wes

This is nothing to do with the TC. This is your user issues on the Mac.
I would do a major fix on the computer.. copy your user files to another location.. create a new administrator account.. login with the new admin account and delete the old one. Delete all the files associated with that account, so you are effectively starting with a clean Mac.
I have just sold off a couple of computers and that is how I prepared it for the next person.. it seemed to work easily and removed all my stuff from the computer whilst still giving them full admin access.
Please I am far from expert in doing this kind of stuff in OSX so just look up deleting original user accounts in whatever OS you run.

Can not open my ebooks another user account

For several months I read my purchased e-books (epub) on ADE. Now I have authorized my computer for the first time.
That worked out well everything. Now I tried an e-book on my computer (Mac) to open it and get the message:
"The document has been licensed for a different user account"
How can this be and how can I read the e-book again?
I've even tried to deauthorize ADE but it had not helped.
What can I do?

"Error opening Movie" in another user account

Hi ... whilst trying to get my qtime audio to work I tried playing a perfectly good .mov (ie it plays in my account) in my wife's user account and it won't even open ... any advice please .... regards Roger

During a senior moment I posted this question twice ... in the other thread it was solved by 'Ben' ... it was a permissions thing.

Opening File in Another User Account

Greetings:
I am using iWeb to post audio/video to a church's website. The church has their own .Mac account, and used to upload from their own system. After taking over this duty, I got a copy of their domain file, created a new username on my MBP using their .Mac account info, and started uploading from my system. It has been working fine...
I'm wondering if there is a way to do this from my username, without having to create another username, and without having it publish based on my .Mac account info? When I open iWeb on my username, my .Mac info appears at the bottom of the screen. If I drop their domain file in my username folder, will it publish to their site, or will it default to my .Mac account info?...
I hope this makes sense...
Blessings,
Craig

Craig:
Logging into the church account and then syncing will not update your own accounts info. Your best bet is to create another user account on your Mac just for your church account. Copy the domain file from your primary account to the other account and put it in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for that account. When you open iWeb it will open that domain file. You can then delete all but the church's site from the domain file. Log into the church's MMe account you you can publish directly to their iDisk.
To make changing accounts on your Mac easier setup fast user switching in the System/Accounts preference pane:
Click to view full size
To summarize: you account for your web site; the second user account for the church's web site.
