ITunes status and AIM users

Hi all!
I'm admittedly not a "seasoned" iChat user (I've used AIM, AOL and ADIUM until recently), so I hope this question isn't something I overlooked.
About 90% of my AIM friends use the AIM (or AOL) client--and of those, the majority are on the PC. When I'm speaking to them via iChat, everything runs smoothly--but I was wondering 2 things:
1) Can those users see my "current iTunes track" status? Is there a simple way to make this happen?
2) on that same note, is there a way to use my current iTunes track as an AWAY message that auto-replies to those AIM users when I am away?
Again, forgive me if this has been asked before, I have been searching the forums, but didn't see my exact question as it related to the current (4.0) version of iChat.
Thanks in advance, everyone

Ha! Thanks, Atomic--however my AIM friends never seem to see it I don't know what the problem is.
Oh and about the 'away message' thing: I see your point... I thought it might be a cool idea to have that display when I'm away from AIM, not necessarily away from my computer physically. (I know a users who set their away message to the iTunes status since they have iTunes constantly running in the background).
Anyhow, I'm still a bit puzzled why many users can't see my iTunes status... I guess maybe it's a "version" problem.

If you do not lock that folder immediately after deleting all the contents, it will simply populate again (Resume - a "feature" in Lion). You do that by doing a Get Info (highlight folder and press Command + I keys), unlock the lock at the bottom, enter your admin password, then check the box to lock the folder. lock the lock and you're done.
Yes, that is correct. The alternative is to quit all applications prior to logging out. Lion will then have a chance to remove the saved states.

And, for the OP:
It has also been a regular feature of Mac OS to automatically open any window that was open at shutdown. To avoit that behavior, simply close any Finder windows and properly quit applications by closing their window and using Command + Q (or File >Quit).
This was true only for the Finder. Prior to Lion, no other apps would launch unless they were included in the Login Items for the account. And the OS would not restore windows for other apps.
A very small number of apps (TextWrangler is an example) implemented this capability prior to Lion. They could restore previously opened windows. But that is an application feature, and can be controlled by the application's preferences. Lion implements it at the system level, and users have virtually no control on a per application basis.

Hi,
As you mentioned there are 2 status can be maintained for documents like Equipment Master, Notification, Maintenance Order & other important business documents.
In case, client feels that system status is not enough to capture the details of the object, then user status can be used.
System statuses will be updated automatically based on business transactions which will be done on SAP.
For example, once the equipment is created, System status would CRTD (Created). If you install the same to some superior equipment or FL, then status would be INST (Installed).
If you keeping that equipment in Spare, then for that, you have to maintain separate User Status like AVLB (Available in Stock / Spare) so that through IH08, by using User status, you can the report which is available as spare.
These user status as per the name, should be updated by the user manually.

ITunes Match and additional users

I have a 15" Late 2008 MacBook Pro with 8 Gig of RAM and a 256 SSD. I am running 10.8.2 and iTunes 10.7 (21). I subscribed to iTunes Match shortly after it was introduced.
About a week or two ago I discovered a serious problem with my iTunes songs. Any songs that are in iCloud and matched will no longer play. If I try to play them iTunes just skips them. It I try to download a song I receive an error message that says
"This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 72 days."
After a delay of a few seconds a second error screen appears which says "There was a problem downloading" + song. Error 11111.
Oddly enough, I created a different user on this computer 18 days ago. It is my wife. I imagine the error happened then.
I do not have all of my songs downloaded. When I purchased iTunes Match, I did so in part to preserve space on my SSD and for the convenience of having everything stored in the cloud.
I would very very much appreciate any assistance you may be able to provide me.

I checked and I didn't enable iTunes Match on the other computer.
I sent an email to Apple's iTunes team and I got a reply that this was a known issue and they are working on it. Pretty frustrating. I have not had such good luck with iTunes Match.

Isight cam for MSN and AIM users (on Windows)

I'm having trouble set my isight for Windows users. My friend was using Trillion. Will that work or should she be using AIM proper.
I also downloaded MSN messenger for Mac, and I'd like to use the isight cam to talk to people on that. How do I go about setting that up? I hear it's kinda hairy.

Hi Christow!
You mention that you are having problems connecting to your windows friends. I assume you are able to connect with mac users with no problem. Here's is a nice overview to have your windows friends review so you can connect with them: http://www.mvldesign.com/videoconferencetutorial.html
As far as MSN for the mac, it doesn't support video at this time, you may want to consider using aMSN which can be found at: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/

Help with icloud and multiple users in iTunes

Our family music is under my iTunes/apple id. My mother, husband and I all synch to iTunes on one computer. Can we set up multiple icloud accounts for synching our contacts separately?

Yes, that's the usual advice - everyone use the one itunes account and each user has his/her own icloud account.

Method of fetching Account status and user locked date in Portal.

Hi,
Can anyone suggest me the method name in UME API in Sap Ep for fetching User Account Status and Last User Locked Date. Or suggest a related code for it.
user database is LDAP.
Thanks

Hi Abhai,
The class (actually Interface) you're looking for is IUserAccount. You can get this from the IUser by using the method getUserAccounts().
The IUserAccount provides all sort of methods like lockDate(), isLocked(), getLockReason().

IO system status and user status

Hi all,
Could you please tell me where the link between IO sys and user status.
Thank you.

Hi
System status and User status:
System Status
o        The system sets a system status informing the user that the system has executed a certain business transaction for an object.
o        You can only influence this status by executing a business transaction that changes the system status.
o        If you release an internal order, the system automatically sets the Released system status.
User Status
o        You can set a user status in addition to the existing system status.
o        You specify the user status in a status profile, which you create for each order type in Customizing.
o        You can specify and activate any number of user statuses.
o        In a production order you can simultaneously
The system status and the user status influence the business transactions in the same way.
The status profile allows you to:
o        Define the user status and document its functions with a corresponding long text.
o        Assign a status number that specifies the order in which the system reaches the user statuses.
o        Define an initial status, which is then automatically set when an object is created.
o        Determine that a user status is automatically set when you execute a business transaction.
o        Permit or forbid specified transactions, if a status is active.

Sharing an iTunes library with another user

My wife and I both got iPad2's recently. I would like to add some of my photos from iphoto and some of my music from iTunes to her iPad.
I have one iTunes account. I have built it over the years and it recognizes my iPhone and my iPad.
Can she sync content (photos, music, movies) from my iTunes account on to her iPad?
I am really confused about how iTunes deals with multiple users on the same iTunes library.
Hopefully this is enough information for someone to give me an iTunes 101 lesson on multiple users (with different Apple ID's) and sharing of one iTunes library, and syncing photos, movies, etc.... with each user's devices.
Both my wife and I are in the cloud, but we really haven't done anything for her to access content in the cloud. I am fully set up for the cloud with my iMac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV2.
Appreciate any help offered or references to help me understand the link between one iTunes library and multiple users.

how to share music between different accounts on a single computer

Question re. sharing iTunes library with other user accounts

I have seen this document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
I want to share one library with four users on my account. I'd like for any music purchased or ripped to this computer to end up in User 1's iTunes library, and for Users 2, 3 and 4 to have access to User 1s library just as User 1 does.
When I follow the directions for "Listening to another account's music files" in the above referenced document, it tells me to navigate to User 1's library through the dialog box that pops up after User 2 clicks "Add to LIbrary".
The problem is, when User 2 is doing that, and User 1 has put the iTunes library in ~user1/public, as the directions suggest, that dialog box won't allow user 2 to access User 1's Public folder.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance...
Chris

Another long description in store here...
iTunes has two main elements. One is the library.itl database file. When you open iTunes it is this that you see. It contains what music is in a library, playlists, date added, playcount, etc. It is this that is really the library. The other element are the media files. When you tell iTunes to play a track it checks in its library file which music file is associated with that track and goes and plays it.
Now you say, "for Users 2, 3 and 4 to have access to User 1s library just as User 1 does." Do you really want User 4 to be able to go and delete or rename tracks, or change the playlists? This can be done if you really want it. Or do you want each person to keep their own library [file] and share media? Even that has disadvantages as a person might still be able to rename a file or even delete it for all. At least everybody would have their own playlists, ratings, etc, though a person could delete a file and then it would appear as a broken link for others. To be honest, iTunes isn't great for sharing.

Can I house 2 iTunes libraries and sync 2 iPods on the same PC

not sure if this can be done. I have one ipod/itues on my pc. just bought my daughter an ipod and I'm not sure how to get hers to sync/load. When I plug hers in it opens my iPod library?
Any instructions would be helpful.
dell Windows XP

When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and or user account or
b) Creating multiple user accounts.
Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
Sharing a Library and/or User Account
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:
Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:

Sharing an iTunes Library across multiple user account and a network.

Sharing an iTunes Music Library across multiple user accounts.
Hello Everybody!
Firstly, this was designed to be run in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. It will not work with earlier versions of Mac OS X! Sorry.
Here's a handy tip for keeping your hard drive neat and tidy, it also saves space, what in effect will be done is an iTunes music library will be shared amongst multiple users on the same machine. There are advantages and disadvantages to using this method.
• Firstly I think it might be worthwhile to state the advantages and disadvantages to using this approach.
The advantages include:
- Space will be saved, as no duplicate files will occur.
- The administrator will be able to have complete control over the content of the iTunes library, this may be useful for restricting the content of the Library; particularly for example if computer is being used at and education institution, business or any other sort of institution where things such as explicit content would be less favorable.
- The machine will not be slowed by the fact that every user has lots of files.
The disadvantages to this system include.
- The fact that the account storing the music will have to be logged in, and iTunes will have to be active in that account.
- If the account housing the music is not active then nobody can use the iTunes library.
- There is a certain degree of risk present when an administrator account must be continually active.
- Fast User Switching must be enabled.
Overview:
A central account controls all music on the machine/network, this is achieved by storing iTunes files in a public location as opposed to in the user's directory. In effect the system will give all users across the machine/network access to the same music/files without the possibility of files 'doubling up' because two different users like the same types of music. This approach saves valuable disk space in this regard and may therefore prove to be useful in some situations.
This is a hearty process to undertake, so only follow this tutorial if you're willing to go all the way to the end of it.
Process:
Step 1:
Firstly, we need to organize the host library, I tidied mine up, removing excess playlists, random files, things like that. this will make thing a bit easier in the later stages of this process.
Once the library is tidied up, move the entire "iTunes" folder from your Home directory to the "//localhost" directory (The Macintosh HD) and ensure that files are on the same level as the "Applications", "Users", "Library" and "System" directories; this will ensure that the files in the library are available to all users on the machine (this also works for networks)
Optionally you can set the ownership of the folder to the 'administrator' account (the user who will be hosting the library.), you may also like to set the permissions of 'you can' to "Read & Write" (assuming that you are doing this through the user who will host the library); secondly you should set the "Owner" to the administrator who will be hosting the library and set their "access" to "Read & Write" (this will ensure that the administrator has full access to the folder). The final part of this step involves setting access for the "Others" tab to "Read Only" this will ensure that the other users can view but not modify the contents on the folder.
Overview:
So far we have done the following steps:
1. Organized the host library.
2. Placed the iTunes directory into a 'public' directory so that other users may use it. (this step is essential if you plan on sharing the library across multiple accounts on the same machine. NOTE: this step is only necessary if you are wanting to share you library across multiple accounts on the same machine, if you simply want to share the music across a network, use the iTunes sharing facility.
3. set ownership and permissions for the iTunes music folder.
Step 2:
Currently the administrator is the only user who can use this library, however we will address this soon. In this step we will enable iTunes music sharing in the administrator's account, this will enable other users to access the files in the library.
If you are not logged in as the administrator, do so; secondly, open iTunes and select "Preferences" from the "iTunes" menu, now click the "Sharing" tab, if "share my library on my local network" is not checked, the radio buttons below this will now become active, you may choose to share the entire libraries contents, or share only selected content.
Sharing only selected content may be useful if their is explicit content in the library and minors use the network or machine that the library is connected to.
If you have selected "share entire library" go to Step 3, if you have selected share "share selected playlists" read on.
After clicking "share selected playlists" you must then select the playlists that you intend to share across your accounts and network. Once you have finished selecting the playlists, click "OK" to save the settings.
Overview:
In this step we:
1. Enabled iTunes sharing in the administrator's account, now, users on the local network may access the iTunes library, however, users on the same machine may not.
Step 3:
Now we will enable users on the same machine to access the library on the machine. This is achieved by logging in as each user, opening iTunes, opening iTunes preferences, and clicking "look for shared music". now all users on the machine may also access the library that the administrator controls.
This in effect will mean that the user will not need to use their user library, it will be provided to them via a pseudo network connection.
As a secondary measure, I have chosen to write a generic login script that will move any content from the user's "Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" directory to the trash and then empties the user's trash.
This is done through the use of an Automator Application: this application does the following actions.
1. Uses the "Finder" action "Get Specified Finder Items"
1a. The user's "~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" folder
2. Uses the "Finder" action "Get Folder Contents"
3. Uses the "Finder" action "Move to Trash"
4. Uses the "Automator" action "Run AppleScript"
4a. with the following:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
empty trash
end tell
return input
end run
IMPORTANT: Once the script is adapted to the user account it must be set as a login item. in order to keep the script out of the way i have placed it in the user's "Library" directory, in "Application Support" under "iTunes".
Overview:
Here we:
1. Enabled iTunes sharing in the user accounts on the host machine, in effect allowing all users of the machine to view a single iTunes library.
2. (Optional) I have created a login application that will remove any content that has been added to user iTunes libraries, this in effect stops other users of the machine from adding music and files to iTunes.
Step 4:
If it is not already enabled, open system preferences and enable Fast User Switching in Accounts Options.
Summary:
We have shared a single iTunes library across multiple user account, while still allowing for network sharing. This method is designed to save space on machines, particularly those with smaller hard drives.
I hope that this hint proves to be helpful and I hope everybody will give me feedback on my process.
regards,
Pete.

how to share music between different accounts on a single computer

Why is iTunes so frustrating and un-user friendly?

Hi all,
I switched from an android phone and table to the iPad and iPhone about 6 months ago and cannot believe how much easier to use they are. I've not had one single issue with Apple's hardware and honestly don't think I could live without my iPad, it's my TV, my library, my stereo, my PC. I use it for absolutely everything.
However, iTunes for Windows is one of the worst pieces of software I have ever used. I have a 2.6ghz laptop with 8gb of ram running Windows 7. iTunes is constantly hanging up my system, crashing to the desktop, taking hours to do a simple sync and tonight I have encountered an issue where iTunes is refusing to import the mp3s I have asked it to.
I have booked a call for tomorrow morning regarding the latter issue, but I really just want to know why iTunes isn't as good as their hardware. It really ruins my user experience with my Apple products. How can they get their hardware so right and their software so wrong? The maddening thing is that unless I jailbreak my products I have absolutely no choice but to use iTunes to get content onto my devices.
I've done a Google search on iTunes problems and there literally thousands and thousands of people who have been experiencing these issues year after year. Funnily enough it appears to be Windows users that suffer the most, iTunes seems to run as you would expect it to on Macs.
I'm so frustrated that if my play around with my friends new Google Nexus tablet goes well at the weekend I may sell my iPad and iPhone and return to android, that is of course if the Nexus can do what my iPad can do, and do it well.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to make iTunes work better or have any insight into the reason why Apple does not seem to be listening to the thousands of people complaining about the iTunes software? Any input would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
A very frustrated and disappointed iPad lover!

I totally agree. I have been an avid apple user, iPhones, iPad, iTouch, iMac and apple tv... until I get to try Samsung Note 4 and was surprised how easy to configure everything. Apple keeps on changing the set up for itunes in so many ways that busy people really don't have time to sit down and learn with it. My last iPad 4th Generation will be the last for this and will jump into Android. There are more problems that I don't have time to elaborate but if people will see the difference, they will surely give up Apple and jump into Android. The hardware quality of apple and the battery life has been noticeably diminishing. The issue on Audiobooks purchased has remained one of the problems for apple users. You can't just download the audiobooks you already purchased easily each time there is an update on the OS. I have done my research and I see a lot of people facing problems with this. If you want apple.. you should have the time to sit down and update always the software, learn the new things that keeps on changing for the better but most often conflicts with other applications that they need to ask you to download again the newest firmware and so on until you realize the gadget that is supposed to give you convenience and comfort is now taking so much of your time and will be part of your routine. On the other side, Android is not restricted... it is merely like an external gadget attached to your computer. And that makes a huge difference. I hope Apple will hear this and make iTunes not a requirement to transfer files from computer to your gadget. TIME is valuable to us as well, what is comfort and convenience if you spend most of your time attached to your gadget just because you need to keep up with it. A quarterly update or twice a year update with a specified date should be an answer to this... We should be in control of our gadgets and not be controlled by it. Apple is in control of the user... while Android users are not enslave with the gadget but controls on how we want to use them. Huge difference on that perspective.

Hello RumDog,
I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
Where are my iTunes files located?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
You can then:
Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."

Problem with iTunes and multiple user accounts in Windows

I am running iTunes on a PC (Windows XP) and have multiple user accounts. When I switch between user accounts and try to open iTunes, I get a message that tells me I can't open the program because another user is using it. Is it really true that I can only have iTunes open in one user account at a time on a PC with multiple user accounts ?!? If not, what am I doing wrong?

You are right, can only have one open. You have to log out of a user before logging in to another user to use iTunes. Do not use the fast user switching ability of Windows.
