ITunes User Profile (WinXP) ??

Hi all,
Does anyone know whether there is a kind of a User Profile for iTunes on Windows XP (multi-user configuration). User Profile: something in registry or Local Settings/Application settings or whatever?
Is it possible to delete/refresh it and how?
Problem: iTunes behaves different for different users on our family PC. Details in previous post:

Thanks in advance,
Hans Troost

Hi Katrina,
Thanks for your reply. Tried it, even removed it from all accounts (kept a copy of course for safety), but it did not help. I still get the message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Visual playback may not operate properly." and indeed: for my wife's accout it doesn't work: no sound. My account does (and doesn't give this message).
Also tried with removing the iTunes folder in the same location. Didn't help either. I'm completely lost....
thanks for trying to solve my problem...
Hans

  • How do my GF and I share our iTunes library across our user profiles?

    I'm sure this question has been asked a million times but here goes.
    My GF and I both have a user profile on our Mac Mini. She is just now setting up her new iPhone and wants to be able to get music on it and such from her own profile.
    All of the iTunes (and iPhoto) media sits on an external 2TB hard drive. I can see everything free and clear in my profile. When I log into her profile she's got nothing in her music library. How can we get her to be able to access the same library? Also, is there a way to ensure that if she were to add new music to her folder that I would see it in mine?
    Your big brains appreciated on this. I'm sure there's a simple solution, no?

    perhaps the following kb article will help:

  • ITunes 12.1.2.7 works for one user profile and not another on the same PC

    When using iTunes 12.1.2.27 with my user profile in Windows 7, it will run for about a minute before I get the message that iTunes has crashed and that Windows is searching for a solution.  It never finds one, and the problem persists.  I've tried doing a restart of the computer and uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.  Nothing works.
    However, my wife has a separate user profile on the same computer.  The same installation of iTunes that crashes with me works as it should when she uses it with her profile.  What's going on, and how do I fix it?

  • Why can i not use 1 macbook with 2 user profiles and 2 iTunes match accounts

    Hi All,
    It seems to me like a bizzare occurance that the Mac O/S caters for mulitple user profiles on one machine and iTunes allows for mulitple users to have seperate libraries on one machine but I cannot use one Mac for itunes Match.
    My wife and I share the same mac, we have an iTunes account each and seperate music libraries but I cannot use her iTunes match as it will lock me out for 90 days on my iTunes match.
    This is crazy? am i missing something.
    Many thanks

  • Sharing Music files on the same Mac among user profiles

    How can I share music among user profiles on the same Mac? I have an itunes account for me but I don't want my kids to have one yet. So, I want to download music but then share some music files for their itunes on their profile. The Home sharing feature only discusses sharing among different computers on the same network.

  • Upgraded my HD and now 99% of my apps wont open in one user profile

    I upgraded my HD yesterday. I cloned my current hard drive using CCC. When I login under my profile 99% of my apps wont open. The ones that do are iTunes, MS Office 2008, & Toast 9 but none of the rest will including all apple iLife programs. However; when my wife logs in under her profile all the apps open fine. I have repaired all permissions but they still wont open in my profile? Any ideas? If I create a new user profile and move all my personal files, music, pictures into the new profile will that work? I am assuming it would since everything opens for my wife. I hope there is a quick fix but I guess creating a new profile would be easier than reinstalling the OS.

    this is very strange. cloning with CCCloner shouldn't affect anything. I suspect you had some problems in your home directory to begin with. Given this I would migrate to a new user. the easiest is to delete your current user and save the home directory as a .dmg (you'll be given that option). then mount that dmg when logged in as a new user as copy what you need there. use [this post|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6185507] as a guide.

  • Hi, I have a Mac Book pro but my user profile is corrupt. I want to delete the profile but transfer all my documents to a new profile

    Hi
    I have a Mac Book Pro
    My Mac Account/User Profile is playing up with some programs (they fail to open etc)
    I've created a new profile and all work OK
    I need to remove my old profile but still access my Itunes and documents etc

    How old is the MacBook Pro?  AirPlay is only supported on 2011 and newer models, due to the requirements it has in hardware for graphics acceleration.

  • User Profile Service failed to logon

    I have Windows 7 on my laptop. I went to log on as usual and when I typed in my password and hit enter it would not work and a message appeared saying: User Profile Service failed to log on. 
    I went to Microsoft support and found an article with suggested solutions for this problem. I followed the first solution, started my computer in safe mode, backed up my registry on a USB, and made changes to file names by renaming them in the registry editor. 
    After making these changes I restarted my computer and it would let me log on. All my files on my desktop seemed to be there but all of the program I have installed asked me to re-register them which I did not feel like doing at the moment. So I shut down
    my laptop and decided to do it later. 
    When I restarted my laptop I was able to log on but when it loaded my desktop is a blank blue screen and the only items left are the recycling bin and my Itunes. It will not let me access any programs, my documents, my computer, the control panel - nothing.
    It says  I do not have permission to access. 
    When I try to load the backup registry I saved on my USB it says that the backup was unsuccessful and it will not load. 
    Not really sure what to do at this point, have I lost everything on my computer or is this fixable?
    Thanks.

    Hi Julianne_27_Chambers,
    Have you got other administrator accounts in this machine ?
    According to your description,it seems that the present user account profile has corrupted .
    We can create a new administrator account and then login with it .Then we can refer to the following link to fix the corrupted user profile .

  • Shared applications among user profiles?

    My wife and I have separate user profiles for our home computer. When I upload photos she can not access them from iPhoto unless she is logged in to my profile. The same is true for me if she uploads photos.
    Is there a way for us to have a universal or shared applications (at this time, specifically iPhoto) across multiple profiles?

    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. The problem here is that OS X works very hard to keep your data safe and secure from the other users. You're trying to beat what's built in to the system. So, to beat the system
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.
    In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
    Lastly: This method seems a little clunky at first, but works very well. Most importantly, it uses the System to do the job for you.
    Create a new Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
    Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
    This means that both users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
    If you want to add photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose.
    To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
    Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.
    No partitioning, no permissions issues. Uses no extra disk space. What's not to like?
    Regards

  • Photoshop CS6 won't do anything, but works on a different user profile

    Hello I am receiving the error ‘photoshop could not complete your request because of a programme error’ message any time I try and do anything in photoshop, I can’t open, edit, change any settings or access any menu in photoshop without this error, rendering it, currently, a useless waste of money.
    I am running CS6 on a mac running Mountain lion 10.8.3 everything is up to date, both operating system and photoshop. I have tried deleting prefs, plist files, adobe cleaner and re-installation, all several times and I still have the same problem. I also cannot find any log files, or access anything through help>system information.
    It does work under a new user profile, but I'm not too happy about that as a work around
    I get an error message in the console which says
    5/05/2013 19:26:06.000 kernel[0]: proc 4823: load code signature error 2 for file "CS6ServiceManager"

    I am experiencing the same problem with my iPod classic 120GB. When I Connect it to my computer for the first time since I started it, it works fine. The iPod is recognized by the computer and iTunes. When I eject the iPod thru the iTunes interface and reconnect it again (without rebooting my computer) the computer freezes. When I start iTunes again, nothing happens until I remove the iPod from the computer (it is stil displaying 'connected'). Removing the iPod unfreezes the computer. I think it is a software problem but I can't find a solution on the internet for such a problem.
    Can someone help?

  • Unable to access time machine backups after creating new user profile

    Hi,
    I had visited the Genius Bar with some problems with iTunes not opening. The Genius had indicated that I likely had some corrupt files and that the easiest fix would be to create a new user profile... So we did...
    After transferring all my data over to the new profile and setting everything back up as I like I deleted the old (presumably corrupt) user profile. To my dismay I no longer have access to any of my time machine backups that were created prior to setting up my new user profile... They appear to still all be there. However, I am unable to select any of the dates prior to the new user profile's creation and the deletion of the old profile...
    Please help...
    Thank in advance,
    Des

    That's correct. What you see in Time Machine's "Star Wars" display depends on what you have the Finder window set to. While looking at the new profile, you can't see any backups that were done before it existed.
    You're right, they're still there, for now, but are grayed-out in the timeline at the right, because what's in the Finder window wasn't backed-up then.
    If you select your internal HD or Computer Name in the sidebar, you'll be able to see those backups.
    But since they're for a different user, you won't be able to view inside that home folder or restore from it -- one user, even an Admin user, doesn't normally have access to a different user's data.
    It's doubtful, but you might be able to create a new user with exactly the same name as the one you deleted, log on to it, and see if the old backups appear.

  • Multiple users/profiles, one library?

    Until recnetly, my daughter had the only ipod in the family and was the only itunes user. Now the whole family has an ipod. We all have seperate Windows profiles (one for Mom, Dad, daughter, etc.) but want to use one library to store all of our music and control ipod content with playlists. How can we do that? Sharing only seems to work between computers - not user profiles.
    Nano and Shuffle   Windows XP  

    I happened on to this Windows discussion by mistake, but did have the same problem with my Mac... don't know if the solution for the Mac is at all transferable to PC or not, but...
    I found my "iTunes Music" folder... in Mac it's in the "music" section of the HD window.
    I then moved this folder (containing the music, etc. I want as the main library) to the "shared" folder in the "users" folder in the HD.
    I then went to "Preferences>General>iTunes Music folder location" in iTunes and selected "Change" and then found the new location of iTunes Music folder I just moved.
    I then went to my wife's profile on our Mac, and repeated the location change in her iTunes preferences.
    I then went to File>Add to Library in iTunes and selected the above folderand iTunes imported everything (that had been in my iTunes) into her iTunes.
    Don't know if PC is this user-friendly (probably not)... but perhaps this can lead you somewhere.
