Mulitple accounts on one computer

i have two ipods on one computer and i can use the same i tunes for both but i dont want to sync the info together

I have both iPod Nano and iPod Touch and only use 1 account and iTunes for both no problem. When you plug in your iPod a different picture and the model and serial number of the iPod that you've plugged in will come up in Summary and all depending on what's on either iPod whether it be 2 or more as far as content (i.e. songs, videos, podcasts, etc, etc) will all be independent from each other. If you prefer a different arrangement of songs all depending on your iPod don't auto-sync but use manually sync if you want to differ the selection from iPod to IPod. The way I want my iPods is to have all the same stuff on both.

Not sure what you mean.
An account is a user name and password.
Sign into whichever account you want to use for purchasing.
Authorize the computer for both account to listen to the content.

Since the Mail.app preference file (along with all other application preference files for a user account) is stored in that user's Home folder/directory, I don't believe this is possible.

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.

I have 3 i phones. Can I have multiple accounts on one computer where it keeps the contacta and calendar for each?

I have 3 i phones. Can I have multiple accounts on one computer where it keeps the contacta and calendar for each?

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 I authorize multiple accounts on one computer?

Can I authorize multiple accounts on one computer?

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.

Two accounts on one computer but only one itunes works

I used the directions for creating two user accounts on one computer when my son got a new itouch. I have an itunes account for my iphone. I then created a new user account and downloaded itunes to second account for son's itouch. I can't access itunes store from the new user account. My account for an iphone will access itunes store. When I click itunes store, the loading signal comes up at the top of the page as if loading but it never loads.
I have tried reinstalling? Updating quicktime.
Any idea what may be stopping the access? I use firefox as the default for my account but have not loaded it onto the new account.... could that be a problem?
What's wrong?

Possibly it registered incorrectly once (who knows why), and now it thinks that is the right way. From what I understand all of the correct songs are still on your iPod though. In iTunes, single click on the incorrectly named iPod, then click again (kinda a delayed double click), then rename the iPod. From what I picked out of your post, they are both the same kind of iPod with the same amount of memory. If that's not the case, post back.
As for the songs skipping...

Sharing Libraries across accounts on one computer

I'd like to know an easy method to share iPhoto libraries across accounts on one computer. It looks like iPhoto is more or less ignoring this topic. I have searched the web for tips, found some, yet the instructions are complicated and what seemed to be the best one didn't work. Anyone in this forum that can help me?

haha, brian has a hidden message in there.
Anyway, here all the links I have for sharing. The last link for using ACLs is the one I think you are thinking of.
SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
-both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
-both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
-Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.

videoDVD is a delivery format, normally end of the of the road...
but, you can convert dvds into something editable, you need 3rd party tools, your options are, in recommended order:
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

Hi theirmimi,
Go to Manage your Apple ID (on a computer) and sign in with your Apple ID. Then you can edit the email information on your account:

Can you have two iTunes accounts on one computer?

Just bought a MacBook Air which I'm sharing with my husband. Is it possible to have two active iTunes accounts on one computer? We both have very different tastes in music and we have our own iPhones that we'd like to update differently. Would be great to have the option to separate our accounts.

Yes you can... and it's not that hard
