    Unfortunately you can't do the logical and convenient thing of authorizing a computer with multiple Adobe IDs that are active simultaneously.
    You can authorize accounts from different vendors; one account per vendor.
    If you have multiple operating system users set up on the computer,  you can register different OS users as different Adobe Account users.

    My daughter and I both have iphones. I created an account (not separate itunes) for her on my computer so she could sync her phone/itunes but not have it interfere with mine since we have WAY different taste in music. Creating a different computer profile should work if you have separate itunes accounts, too.
    If you all use the same itunes account, you can turn on Home Sharing. That way you can all download the same content without having to pay for it again. Not sure how or if that works with separate itunes accounts.
    Hope that helps!

  • Can there by multiple accounts under one id?  I just loaded a $25 gift card and it showed up in my balance.  My daughter, under the same id had $12.0 left from a previous gift card.  Now only the $12.01 shows up and the $25 is nowhere to be found?

    Can there be multiple accounts under one apple id?  My daughter and wife apparently share an id between my daughter's ipod and my wife's ipad.  My daughter has what she believes is her $12.01 left from a gift card.  My wife loaded a $25 gift card recently (I saw the $25 balance in her account when she was done) and after a password change, now all that shows up is the $12.01?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Can I access music from multiple accounts on one cpu?

    Can I access music from multiple accounts on one cpu

    Here's one option: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12366
    But frankly you'd be better off creating unique user accounts on the computer and having seperate iTunes libraries for each user as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495

  • I can't log into my mobile me account from my lap top.  Is it because of my operating system?  I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8?

    I can't log into my mobile me account from my lap top.  Is it because of my operating system?  I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8? Every time I try to enter my data in on the control panel I get an error that says; "Your MobileMe member name or password may be invalid. Please enter a different name or password."  I know the name and password is correct because I can log in via the Web.

    Apple discontinued it on June 30, 2012. Many of its services are now provided by iCloud; anything which connects specifically to MobileMe won't work.

    Moved iTunes library from one lap top to another, and some audiobooks were lost!

    Sorry to hear that.
    Do you have a question?
    Copy the audiobooks from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.

  • Managing Multiple iPods on One Computer

    Can I manage three iPods on one computer? One is an iPod Mini and two are Fifth Generation 80 GB iPods, so I need to be able to have at least two different music libraries due to memory space. (Three would be preferable.) Does anyone know if this is possible? Thank you!
    Dell Desktop   Windows XP  

    If you are adding a second or more iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update all songs and playlists, selected playlists only or you can manage it manually.
    If 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.
    b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
    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
    Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page:
    Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
    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 if you need it. You can read about Windows user accounts here:
    Using Windows XP User Accounts

  • What are the options to use itunes with multiple accounts on one computer

    I am totally confused; apple phone support seems to have no clue at least the person I spoke to. I want to get two iTunes accounts on one computer, one exists already. I am not sure what apple allows in this case. I was told at a apple store that if you create another PC profile you should be able to get the second iTunes account on the same computer with the new windows profile. There seems to be no info on the discussions board to this issue.
    I do not want to share an account and have a second library I think it would be too confusing for the other person. Is this possible?

    You can purchase music using multiple accounts within the same Windows profile & using the same iTunes library. I think when you log into the store it remembers the last account name used, but provided you don't let it remember your password then you have the opportunity to enter the correct details for each purchase.
    If you're going to place these purchases on your respective iPod's the following may help.
    *How to use multiple iPods with one computer*
    The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
    e.g.
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

  • Managing multiple iPods from one computer

    The existing posts re: managing multiple iPods/iTunes accounts from one computer don't seem to address my question. I have been sharing my iPod with the family, and want to get my son his own for his birthday. Can I manage both iPods from the same computer? Does the iTunes software have the ability to "recognize" which iPod unit is attached? I'm dying to get his music out of my iPod ...

    Can I manage both iPods from the same computer?
    Yes.
    I'm dying to get his music out of my iPod ...
    Create new playlist and put the music you want in it.
    Open iTunes prefs -> iPod and select Automatically update only selected playlists and pick this new playlist.

    How to set up multiple accounts in itunes

    This is from the link John Galt gave:
    "If you share your computer with other people, you can maintain separate user accounts for each person who uses the computer. This is useful especially if each user has different tastes in music or other media; users can maintain separate, personalized iTunes libraries and can customize their devices' sync settings accordingly."
    Which only works if all user accounts use the SAME iTunes account. This is not what the original question was. I have 2 iTunes accounts and 1 Mac. I have 2 user accounts setup and each account uses a seperate iTunes account. The problem is since they introduced this ridiculous 90 day rule when switching iTunes accounts this no longer works. I was happily using my current acount and when I switched to the older account to download my old movies I bought on it I got hit with the "you have to wait 90 days before switching iTunes accounts" when I tried to go back to my original account.
    This has broken and ruined what used to be a great system. Let me explain:
    Back in 2000 when you bought a DVD you could take this DVD with you to your friends house and pop it in their player and enjoy the movie.
    Fast forward to future where no-one wants shiny disc or any other physical medium you go to your friends place and log into your account and watch the movie that way. Simple easy... till the 90 day rule.
    I fully understand the logic behind it (protecting their IP), but it breaks the system for legit users. Copyright has always stood in the way of progress. There isn't a single copyright protection on shiny disc that has not been broken. All that engineering effort, time and money and you can download a free app to break it.
    You cannot stop piracy, just like you cannot stop thieves. You can however try and catch them AFTER the act and punish them. This 90 day rule is like not allowing you to walk into the same store more than once in 3 months in case you might have stolen something the first time you where there. It's a stupid way to prevent something that is un-preventable.
    There are many ways to get around the 90 day rule for people that do want to pirate someone elses library, but it does completely block someone who is just trying to use his own purchased media in a legit way. Stupid...
    I am now forced to own 2 seperate computers just to access my 2 iTunes accounts.

  • Multiple Accounts on One Email ID

    hello skypers, 
    I have recently tried to recover my password and was asked for my email address which i gave, and shortly received an email for reset token, as got redirected to the password change page, they said there are multiple accounts register on my Email ID, and when i checked the skype names registered on my ID, there are 5 skype names amoung which only one is actually mine.
    Point is how 5 accounts possibly got registered on my email address when i have not received any authentication email for those. And somehow if all those accounts have been registered how can I get rid of those fake accounts which are ofcourse not mine?
    help!

    Hi, ZohaibSyed, and welcome to the Community,
    Please contact Skype customer service for assistance in unlinking these unwanted accounts from your registered e-mail address.  In theory, you could also change the passwords for these rogue accounts, take control of them, and then file a request with Skype Customer Service that the accounts be removed/deleted.
    Regards,

  • Managing multiple accounts

    I am about to need a second iTunes account for my work. What info do I really need to know about managing 2 accounts? RE: using both accounts on 1 computer (does it affect either library?)? authorizing my coworkers' computers? do I need a separate iPod for the 2nd account? Any info from a "whiz" would be appreciated!!

    Welcome to AD!
    My advice is to NOT make a 2nd account. It seems to cause nothing but problems for those who have multiple iTS accounts. You can never combine accounts later - each purchase has the account info embedded into it.
    Whyever would you authorize your coworker's PCs?

  • Multiple accounts on one computer - one or multiple licenses?

    I have one simple question about the limitations of the Adobe Muse (and other) product. I do understand that I can install it on two computers and use both but not at the same time. Fine. However, On one of my machines I have different accounts for different purposes. Still, it is only me that is using them. Does the activation in each account on the same machine (I'm talking about Apple here) count towards these two installations or not. In other words, can I enable an Adobe Muse license on e.g. two accounts on one machine and still have it installed and active on my laptop?

    Means the licensing is not computer based as stated but based on a individual account on a computer.
