ITunes for multiple accounts for Windows XP

I am the admin on my PC with Windows XP. I have iTunes installed under my account. I just got my wife an Nano. Can I install another iTunes under her account, move the music to a shared folder, and have both iTunes use that shared library? If not, can you please share the best approach. Thank you.

Can I install another iTunes under her account, move the music to a shared folder, and have both iTunes use that shared library? If not, can you please share the best approach.
you shouldn't have to install itunes in her account. she should have it already in her account if it has been installed on yours.
these documents step you through the procedures for what you want to do:

but if you're planning on a multi-account approach, also see:

ITunes has multiple accounts for me

When I first got an OS X Mac, in 2002, my AppleId was xyz. Somewhere along the line, Apple gave me a new id of [email protected] Now iTunes thinks I'm two people, xyz and [email protected]
Late OCT2013, my 2009 MBP crashed (logic board + disk). I bought a new MBP. iTunes on the new MBP asked me to re-authorize [email protected] Then it said I had used 4 of 5 computer authorizations. But it kept asking me to authorize myself. Puzzled, I looked up old passwords. Then I remembered that in 2002 (before @mac.com) I had just been xyz. I entered xyz's password. It said I had used 5 of 5 computer authorizations. Honestly, I have 1 computer, not 5. Maybe I've had 4-5 since 2002.
I have no idea which music/apps I purchased as xyz, and which as [email protected] I guess everything since @mac.com came out (whenever that was) should be [email protected] But really I want to merge the two AppleIds, xyz and [email protected], and any purchases I have made with them. There are both me. Frankly, I would prefer to be just xyz, since as Apple fads, @mac.com came and went, and then @me.com came and went.
Is there a way to unify xyz and [email protected] to just xyz? I gather from reading the forums that I can de-authorize everything, and then re-authorize xyz and [email protected] separately again, which would lead me to have 2 "computers" authorized when I just have 1 computer. I hope in the process I would not lose things that I paid for.

Hi again,
just an update on my problem and one that others may be experiencing too, after backing up and restoring my iPod to default settings, which invariably formats it. the files are located in the "iPod_control" in the music folder, and are labelled F00 through to F49.
moving these files back across to the iPod is a painstaking but worthy task, i had to go into each of the 50 folders and highlight all files (labelled randomly like "GHTY, KJUI, KKIH" etc, they all have 4 letters in caps and drag these across into the music folder of the iPod in iTunes.
time consuming process but easy once you know what you are doing, i hope this helps others like it has helped me.

I need to back up my imac running Tiger (no time machine) so that we can upgrade OS. It is set up for multiple accounts. How do I capture all files in each account using newly purchased USB external hard drive?

GR and GR Non Val indicator in R/3 PO for multiple account assigned SC's

Hi,
We are on SRM 3.0(EBP 4.0) and R/3 4.7.
We have implemented the BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK badi for setting or clearing the GR and IR indicators under certian conditions.
But for Multiple account assigned SC's we get an error message "06181 With non-valuated GR, please also enter GR i ndicator ".
We have tried implementing note# 872000, but this has not solved the issue.
The PO's get created only if we force the GR indicator when transferring the data into R/3.
It seems clear that while creating the PO the system is encountering the GR Non Val indicator but not the GR indicator, so its throwing the error message (we get the same error message when we create the PO from R/3 with GRnon val indicator checked and GR ind unchecked).
The proposed solution is that in the same BADI, along with clearing the GR indicator, we will also clear the GR non val indicator.
This can solve the issue if the indicators are transferred as it is from EBP.
But can anyone tell me if these indicators are also checked/changed in any FM/program in R/3 before the PO is created?
Is there any customizing setting which is affecting this particular behaviour?
Regards,
Srivatsan

Hi Srivatsan ?
In ECC, you have a configuration point :
Materials Management->Account Assignment->Maintain Account Assignment Categories
Here you can untick the indicator you want by account assignment category;
Kind regards,
Yann

Copy function for multiple account assingment (cost distribution)

Hello,
We are using multiple account assignment to enter different asset no for each quantity in same line item. Other fields like G/L account remains same.. Is it possinble to copy the value from one asset to all the assets in same line item. The function of copy in clip and inset from clipboard works only for different items not for multiple account assignments...
In R/3 there is function to copy and paste in case of multiple account assignment but could not find the same in SRM.
Any solution????
We are in SRM 4.0...
Amit

Hello,
During PO replication from SRM to R/3, customizing from OME9 is not read and "Partial invoice indicator" is always defaulted to "1" when item has a multiple account assignment.
This behaviour can be overwritten by implementing:
- either BBP_PO_INBOUND_BADI for method BBP_MAP_BEFORE_BAPI,
- or BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI for method BBP_B46B_PO_OUTBOUND.
So, no need to take care of OME9 customizing.
Regards.
Laurent.

Reporting for multiple Accounts by Partner dimension for multiple Entities

Hi all,
I have a report in Reporting Studio which uses a Sum column formula to add data for all the members selected in a prompt for the Entity dimension (which is in the columns of the report).
In the rows I have 2 dimensions, Partner and Account. I have the report set up to display the children of Partner and multiple accounts for each Partner. The issue I am having is that I would need to actually calculate one of the account totals (it is a Yield account) since summing the yields for partners is not valid.
I can't just pull out and calculate the Yield accounts though because the accounts need to be listed by Partner.
Is there a way to group two rows so that I can pull out and calculate the Yield account but still display the accounts by Partner?
So I was thinking:
Partner A Account 1, Account 2
Partner A Yield
Partner B Account 1, Account 2
Partner B Yield
I can't hardcode this as there are hundreds of Partners. If there is a way to set up auto-calculate to Average only the Yield accounts, that would work as well in theory.
Any help would be appreciated. If any clarification is needed just let me know.
Thanks.

Hi Mehmet,
There are too many possible department combinations to actually create member formulas for each one.
The formula for Yield is Revenue/Units. So an example would be $100,000 revenue divided across 1,000,000 units gives a Yield of 0.10.
The more I think about this problem, the more I realize that this may not possible. If a manual calculation is required I would need to have it so that I'm able to match up the children of Revenue with the children of Units in order to calculate the various Yields. From my experience this isn't possible. I am staying away from hard-coding in the report as it would create issues down the road.
If there is some way to utilize auto-calculation that may be the only solution.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated though.
Thanks.

GR/IR Rounding Logic for Multiple Account Assignment

We have activated business function LOG_MM_MAA_1 (EHP4 release 604), GR valuated. When choosing Distribution on quantity basis and distribute partial inv proportionally, the MIGO postings are different from the MIRO postings. For example, we have a quantity of 12 that we allocate to two different cost centers 33.3 / 66.7 %. We receive a partial qty of 5. MIGO distributes the quantity 1.665 / 3.335, respectively. However, MIRO distributes the quantity 1.666 / 3.333 respectively. Since MIRO is supposed to accept the MIGO quantities and amounts, why is the percentage allocation different? Is there a way to make the percentages equal for MIGO / MIRO? Modification of the percentage field (VPROZ) in the PO to more than 1 decimal is not an option.
Example
    PO (quantity-based distribution, partial inv is proportional: Receive partial Qty 5 of total 12
                         Net Value            Qty              Percen           MIGO           MIRO
    Item:            9,600.00 USD    12.000 pc     100.00       4,340.00      4,340.00
    Account 1: 3,200.00 USD      4.000 pc        33.3         1,446.67      1,446.96
    Account 2: 6,400.00 USD      8.000 pc        66.7         2,893.33      2,893.04
The small difference of $0.29 for this example is inconsequential, but for larger quantieis it will have a greater impact on the account allocation.

U set or U dont set system will flag the GR non valuated once u assign multiple account assignment.
But SAP is coming up with GR valuated for Multiple account assignment in enhancement package 4.

One iTunes library for multiple accounts, iPhones, laptops and PCs.

First off, I'll apologize up front for asking a question that has probably been asked a million times. I've searched the intarwebs and these forums but I've seen so many different answers and read so many different threads pertaining to my question that I think I've over-informed myself to the point of confusion.
OK, for the longest time I've had one iTunes library running on one Windows PC in my house. I used that for updating all our iPods. That was fine for the last however-many-years we've had iPods.
We just picked-up a couple iPhones last night.
All I want to do is move the iTunes library to our NAS so that we can both access the library from any laptop or PC in order to update the music on our iPhones using our different accounts.
Is there a definitive way to do this, or do I have to follow one of these sideways, shady and round-about ways to get this done.
Having to run upstairs to the PC seems to be completely needless with all this technology we have!
Any help would be appreciated.

After reading this and several other related threads, I am becoming thoroughly confused about all of this. I have a situation similar to the one that pokerpal described in the post dated January 7 at 8:06 pm, except that the music files on my system are located on an external hard drive. Everything else is pretty much the same though - I am the admin user (and the main iTunes user and maintainer) and my girlfriend is a standard user who has no music in her own iTunes library. She can see and listen to and make playlists from and sync her iPod with the music in this library from her account, and I can do the same thing, independent of her, from my account. And if I make a change to information within a song, she doesn't see it, and vice versa, and I understand that. What I don't understand is why when I add a song or an album to the music files by importing a CD or downloading something from the iTunes Music Store, she has no way of knowing that unless I tell her, and then she can add it to her library by using the "Add to Library" function. Is there no way of automatically updating her library files to add the new song(s)? We have almost 15,000 songs and videos in that library, and I don't even want to think about what might have to happen if the answer to my question is "no." Interestingly enough, if I put an update to a Word document in the same exact location (on the hard drive), we can update that and pass it back and forth all day - why is that such a difficult task for iTunes to accomplish?
Sorry I went on so long, but this has been building up for some time, and none of the solutions I've read about here have really been of any help, so I'm a bit frustrated and, as I said at the beginning, confused.

Setting up a shared library for multiple accounts on the same machine

I am in idiot. I can't figure it out. This is exactly what I did.
1 - I set up multiple accounts on the computer. 1 for me and another for my wife.
2 - I loaded all the music into my account's public folder.
3 - I set the default folder in both hers and mine iTunes for this Public folder
4 - I then opened iTunes in my account and none of the songs were showing up so I dragged the folder into iTunes and it did its business. Now my account is all set.
Here are my questions:
A - Do I need to drag the folder into my wife's account iTunes as well?
B - If either of us add music when logged in, will it automatically update in the other iTunes interface or is there something specific that needs to (manually) be done?

Doing it the way you did, you each have your own iTunes library file and are using the same iTunes music folder.
Changes by one will not be seen by the other and any new music added by one will have to be added to the library by the other.
Also, if one deletes music, it will be in teh library for the other but it will not be playable because the other person deleted it in the iTunes music folder.
Launch iTunes, then immediately press and hold Option, then select *Create new library*.
Create one in Users/Shared.
Quit iTunes.
Move all your music into the new /Users/Shared/iTunes/iTunes music folder.
Login to your Wife's computer account.
Move all her music into the new /Users/Shared/iTunes/iTunes music folder.
On her account, launch iTunes, then immediately press and hold Option, then select *Choose existing library*.
Select the _iTunes library file_ in /Users/Shared/iTunes.
In iTunes, File -> Add to library and select the iTunes music folder in /Users/Shared/iTunes.
All the music will be there.
Quit iTunes and log out of her account and back into your account and launch iTunes normally.
All music will be there.
You should go to /Users/Shared/iTunes folder and right click - get info, click *Ownership & Permissions*. Set *You can* to *Read & Write* and set Others to *Read & Write*.
Click *Apply to enclosed items*.
Any changes (new/deleted music, ratings, playlists, etc.) by one will be seen by the other sionce you are using the same iTunes library file.
Only one person can have iTunes open at a time. If you use Fast User switching, one will need to quit iTunes before the other can use it.

Installing a LOB App for Multiple Accounts On The Same Surface Device

Hi,
When installing apps to iOS & Android there is no concept of a local user account, and an app can only be installed once. For Windows devices, a single device can have multiple accounts. Those accounts can be local or domain and have administrator privileges
or not.
We are planning to use the Device Enrollment Manager concept in Intune to enroll approximately 200 non-domain joined devices. Each device will have two local accounts - one in English and one in French. We have a LOB Windows App that works in both
languages. We do not want the local accounts with the App to have administrative permission.
It seems you need local administrator permission to enroll the device. If I then install the app from this account, it works. However, I need the app installed on the local English and local French account.
When I log locally into the device using a standard account and log into the Company Portal, it shows the app as installed. It is not, however, installed for that user and is not accessible. Note that I'm using the same Intune account. It is only available
to the local administrator account. The only option I have is 'Re-Install'. When I select that, nothing happens - it is stuck in the "Installing..." state.
If I only enroll the device using the local administrator account and then log into the local standard account to install the app, it doesn't show as installed. When I choose to install it, it gets stuck on Installing.
I'm missing something here...
Is it possible to install an App from Intune more than once on a Surface device? Do the Intune accounts need to be unique per-install? Is it possible to install the app without local administrator permission?
Thank you!
-jd

An update. If I:
Enroll a Windows Surface using a local admin account
Request to install an app from a local standard account it appears stuck on Installing...
Log back in as the local admin account and wait, the app appears.
Questions:
Can the same app be installed into multiple local accounts on the same device? It doesn't look like it.
Is the local account used when the device is enrolled the only local account that will install Intune apps?

HT5312 Can I use the same rescue email for multiple accounts?

I have multiple accounts and would like to use the same rescue email address. I've already verified the first account, but when I try to add another account a message says it's already verified for another Apple id.

I haven't tried it, but the message that you are getting implies that you can't. The rescue email address that I have on one account is the same as the primary email address that I have on another account - that's an alternative.
