Multiple Account Mgmt question

I am having some difficulty mastering the Owner/Permissions account managment features. Probably user error but.. I have set up 3 separate accounts for kids in the house- all on one iMac. They are "managed" accounts with I think "simple finder" capability. 1. I can not seem to assign screensavers individually as I cant access that task when logged into kid's account and I dont see the ability to do that for all the accounts when logged into primary account (I did figure out how to set background pictures for each) 2. Kids app icons dont show up on dashboard bar- only in an unamed (and unnameable) folder on the bar and finally 3. Is there any way I can attempt to do all this admin stuff w/o having to log in/out constantly??
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you,
bjonline

Hi there
When logged into your kids account click on the finder menu and there should be an option to go to full finder (provided simple finder is on). You will be prompted for your admin password. Once entered you should be able to change the accounts as you please. When you are finished click on the finder menu again and there should be an option to return to simple finder.
Hope this helps

  • Multiple Account email question

    I have a question regarding email. I have a primary account (eg. [email protected]) and set up an alias for my child to use (eg. [email protected]). Little johnny has is own 'account' on my iMac. When we log in to his account and launch Mac Mail it asks for password- I enter my primary password for the [email protected] account but that doesnt work. I thought the alias was a good way for parental control and intro to Mail to a youngster. Is this not the correct (or best) way? Do I need to purchase an entire new .mac account??
    Tks for tips,

  • Hard Question:   Item-Based Approval for Multiple Account Assignment?

    Hi Vadim and community,
    Possibly.. this is my hardest question for you.
    We need to implement Item-Based Workflow Approval.  The CC Owner should approve only the items assigned to his/her CC.    We'll do this reading R3(CO) data.
    Thats not the problem.
    The problem is:  I need to use Multiple Account Assignment.  I'll distribute one time in 3 o more CC.   Is it possible to have an CC-Based Workflow Approval ?   I mean, The CC owner should approve partly the item assigned to his/her CC.
    Anybody knows something ?
    Thanks for your reply !!! =)
    Regards,
    Diego

    Hi Diego,
    In my understanding you want to define one or several level of approval depending on the CC assignement on each item.
    lets take an example:
    CC1 owner approver1, CC2 owner approver2 and CC3 approver3
    For a SC:
    -Item 1: 20% on CC1, and 80% on CC2
    -Item 2: 20% on CC1, and 60% on CC2, and 20% on CC3
    Then in the item level BADI, you'll define:
    -Item1:
    Level1 ==> approver1
    Level2 ==> approver2
    -Item2:
    Level1 ==> approver1
    Level2 ==> approver2
    Level3 ==> approver3
    I had this requirement on a project, and the hard part was not the BADI implementation, but the CC owner link with the SRM users (cause all approvers have to be declared on the SRM, and integrated in the SRM org plan).
    Regards.

    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.

  • Sharing one iTunes library across multiple accounts on the same Mac

    Hello, I've poked around at some of the posts dealing with sharing one iTunes music library across multiple accounts on the same Mac but it seems like this can only be done if the libary is moved to a shared folder. I realize this can be done but I was trying to share it the way it is described in a post on Apple support (See link below.). That post seemed to imply that you don't have to move the library from its original location (owned by account A, e.g.), rather just make a couple preference changes in the accounts, use fast user switching and voila. That doesn't seem to work. So my question is this: Is the only way to share one iTunes music library across multiple accounts on the same Mac to move it to a shared folder? I'm running 10.4.8 on an Intel iMac. Thanks in advance!
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195

    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.

  • How can i create multiple accounts but use the same itunes?

    how can i create multiple accounts but use the same itunes?

    Hi iCloud is Making Me Go Crazy,
    You will need to create a new Apple ID for your GameCenter and iCloud services.  You can continue to use the current Apple ID you share with your Mom for access to iTunes Store purchases if you wish.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • .Mac multiple accounts password failures?

    I have been looking for help on a password trouble I experienced starting Wednesday night.
    I have a new .Mac account for my university teaching in addition to my personal .Mac account. Following methods in this forum, I have been using iWebSites to manage multiple sites on both .Mac accounts, using the .Mac Preference Panel trick, switching from one account to another when needed.
    After I used Backup Wednesday evening of all my iWeb sites to my personal .Mac account, I cannot switch back to my university .Mac account.
    It is password failure.
    In addition, when I bought the new account last week, I deliberately entered a false day and month of birth. I usually just use Jan. 1 for that kind of thing, but not always. The password help for .Mac accounts requires either access to the email account in question OR a "secret question" and answer, which I know, but only if you authenicate the day and month of birth in the account. I cannot remember the phony day and month I entered last week!
    So I am slightly hosed.
    I have tried most of the tactics in the earlier thread,
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=949682&tstart=0
    but to no avail.
    Also, I have a trouble report through the .Mac support site, but have not talked directly to a human being about it.
    Advice welcome.

    I used an alternate route to
    (a) speak to a person at Apple
    (b) about .Mac account re-set.
    I went through the customer service branch on the 800 MY APPLE line, and then selected help with a previous purchase. This got me to a person. Then I used my invoice info to autheticate my request, and they pushed my help request over to the .Mac Help Guy through their internal network. Bingo.
    One of the other Apple phone line people said that the .Mac Help Guy really is one guy running four computers! I do not want to believe that but who knows!

  • Invoice transport costs with multiple account assignment

    Hello Gurus,
    My problem is the following:
    1) I create two sales orders with the same forwarding agent "A"
    2) I create the two deliveries with the forwarding agent "A"
    3) I create a transport for those two deliveries and the same forwarding agent A
    4) I create the shipment cost for that transport.
    So now we have the situation:
    2 orders --> 2 deliveries --> 1 transport --> 1 shipment cost
    when i go to transaction MIRO and I enter the delivery note number I get one line item with the total transport cost.
    If I click on the option "Multiple account assignment" I get a breakdown of all the amounts but I can not see which costs refers to which delivery.
    My question is: Is there any way I can link the amount to the delivery number or at least to identify which cost is linked to which delivery number?
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Miguel

  • Undeleting a PO line item with multiple account assignment and PO history

    I  am getting error message
    PO history already exists (Multiple account assignment not possible)
        Message no. MEPO841
    When attempting to undelete a purchase order line item that has GR (nonvaluated) and Invoice postings.
    Sequence of events.
    PO line item was created with mutlitple account assignments ( 50/50 distribution) and GR nonval flags on.
    Invoice Posted (blocked for payment)
    GR done
    PO line item marked for deletion.
    Now getting MEPO841 when attempting to undelete.
    Tried to Reverse GR and cancel material docuement - unable to do so - message no selectable items in PO
      (even with check zero indicator )

    Hello Dan ,
    Error message MEPO 841 is only issued if you have Multiple account assignment function (MAA) activated. Multiple account assignment function is a new business function developed in Release 604.
    If you have MAA active, you are not allowed to change a single account assigned PO which has GR posted to a multiple accounts assigned PO. If this is tried , MEPO 841 will stop you from doing this change.
    If you want to have your old functionality in the lower release, you should switch off the business function LOG_MM_MAA_1 ( MM Multiple Account Assignment )  in Release 604.
    Please switch the business function LOG_MM_MAA_1 off in test environment  and test the problem again in a productive system.
    I hope this information has been helpful in solving your problem. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
    Thank you.
    Best Regards,

  • OIM 11g r2 disabling multiple account provisioning

    Hello all,
    I have a question, in oim 10g and 11g, on resource object there was a "allow multiple" checkbox.
    So you could configure your resource if you want to prevent it from multiple provisioning.
    But in 11gr2 I cannot see that checkbox.
    How can i configure my resource as it is going to disable multiple account provisioning?

    Is there anyone who can help?

  • Release strategy -multiple account assignment

    Hi,
    I have PO release strategy based on account assignment(one of the criteria). AAC used is P,Q, and N . Couple of questions -
    1) I do not want to allow multiple account assignment in PO.
    2) KNTTP is not available in CEKKO communication structure. I had to bring it through a user exit. Because of this looks like multiple account assignment still triggers release.

    Hi
    The thing you need to get considered is does the PO release at header level or at item level .You can create a class for account assignment category and assign the charecterestic properly created with the tab basic data properly filled for value assignment and assign the values for the AAC .

    No; a Skype Number subscription is attached to the account under which the subscription was started.

    Unfortunately, Call Transfer is a feature which Skype no longer offers.  The only alternative would be to activate call forwarding.
