Multiple accounts, multiple devices, same computer

I am so confused I don't even know how to ask this question. Please bear with me.
My wife and i have an iMac OS X. She has an iPhone, iTouch, and MacBook. I have an iPod Classic and iTouch. Her MacBook is her home computer for devices. The iMac is my home computer for my devices.
She redeemed a gift card into her iTunes account and bought an app from the Store. She did this on the iMac. The problem? She can't synch the app from the iMac to her iPhone. On her MacBook, she can sign into her iTunes account, see the app she purchased in her account history, but there is no icon for the app and cannot synch it to her iPhone.
Surely she hasn't wasted the purchase of an app. How do we synch the app to her iPhone? Can you only use a device on one computer? We are at a loss, please help the noob.

See if anything here helps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

How do I have multiple accounts on the same computer

how do I have multiple accounts on the same computer? The idea of ", hold down the option (on a Mac)/ shift (on a PC) key each time you start iTunes" does not seem to work for me. Thanks.

Create multiple Windows User Profile with each managing his own iTunes account and library.
To create a user account on Windows 7:
To open User Accounts, click the Start button , click Control Panel, under 'User Accounts and Family Safety', select Add or Remove User Accounts.
Click Create a new account.
Type the name you want to give the user account, click an account type(make sure to give Administrator), and then click Create Account.

Share and Synch Calendar across multiple accounts on the same computer?

ICAL on same Mac but all 4 users want to share and update the calendar (s) (Multiple calendars) How can this be done.
Basically I want to replace the beaten up ole torn paper calendar in teh kitchen that we all write on and share? If I can do this I can publish it and we can all access it regardless of where we are.
thanks in advance for the help.

I'm no expert in this department, but I believe that your question was the reason Apple started the 'Group' calendar. Check this page out:

Perhaps your answer lies within.

Can I use home share across multiple accounts on the same computer?

we all use one computer and have one music library in a public folder. Can we use home share so that when one of us makes a purchase (and adds it to our library) others can easily see it and have the option to add it to their library too (without duplicating the file)?

Based on my HAZY memory of a previous question like this, what you would need to do is...
Log out of one Cloud account (MAY need to restart your computer, not sure of this... hazy memory) then log in to your OTHER Cloud account

Multiple iTunes Accounts on the Same Computer

iTunes states that you can have multiple iTunes accounts on the same computer. But when I attempt to put in a new user account (for my wife so she can have her own music library) my own iTunes account pops up when I go to load iTunes while in her user account. And if I create any account that is NOT an 'Admistrator' account iTunes refuses to install itself as the "user does not have the privileges - consult your Administrator". So I am lost as to what I need to do to create separate iTunes accounts where each person has their own iTunes library and thus their own music. Perplexed...

Synchronizing multiple user accounts on the same computer

We bought a .mac family pack. Synchronizing 3 computers works great. But we cannot synchronize our 5 family member's multiple user accounts on the brand new iMac G5. Can it be true that synchronizing does not work between different user accounts on the same computer? To be able to do this was the prime motivator to buy a .mac family pack. Please someone tell us that we are doing something wrong!?
Cheers, Leo

Leo,
I seem to be having better luck with what I think you are trying to do. Let me describe my situation.
I have accounts for my wife and I and each of our children on each of our several Macs.
For my wife's accounts (on each of the Macs) and my account (on each of the Macs) I enabled syncing via the preference pane. I did not sync the mail accounts (she has different e-mail accounts) but we did sync the addresses, bookmarks and such. We did not sync the calendars since we each "subscribe" to each others calendar.
On each machine and across the machines our "sync'd" information appears properly synchronized.
Now, here is one difference, I do NOT have a family pack. I only have my single .Mac account and I use that one account as the .Mac account for my wife and I. Now that I think about it, that would seem to be the big difference.
Might I suggest that you go into your wife's account and change her .Mac information to be YOUR information and see if it synchorizes.
Regards,
Tom

Multiple Users Syncing on Same Computer

Is it possible to allow multiple users to sync their Palm Pilots to their individual oracle calendar account on the same computer? I have fifteen palms syncing on the my computer and I want each of them to connect to a different oracle calendar username.
Thanks

Hi,
if you really want to be sure, that there is no confusion when synchronizing the iPad or your 4G you should create a second iTunes library. Just hold down the Shift button when opening iTunes. You'll be asked if you want to create a new library, or open an existing one.
This way you can switch between the libraries and no one of your data will be loaded on the iPad or vice-versa.
It shouldn't be a problem if the iPad is not synced with iTunes for 3-4 months.

I have multiple libraries on the SAME computer.

I have multiple libraries on the SAME computer. How can I share these libraries? I do not see the SHARED tab when i open iTunes. Where is this tab?

home sharing works between two or more computers on the same LAN.
if you're talking about libraries on multiple user accounts on the same computer, peruse how to share music between different accounts on a single computer.
if you mean you're working with multiple libraries on the same user account, check out PowerTunes or iTunes Library Manager.

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!

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.

TS2972 I have multiple libraries on the "same computer" with two different desktops, can't I share between two libraries on the same computer?

I'm trying to use home sharing to share content between libraries so some of the combined content in a given library, can be synced to an ipad. Instad of having mulitple computers, i have multiple libraries on the same computer using two desktops. How do I share within the same computer?

iTunes must be running for home sharing to work. There is no way to have home sharing running simultaniously for two users on the same computer.
Simply add the media files using File > Add File/Folder option in iTunes.

Multiple accounts on the same resource

Experts,
I am trying to create multiple accounts for the same IDM user.
I have written a workflow which calls the subprocess to create multiple accounts. In the orignal workflow I pass the IDM accountId and the target system accountid in the Iterate loop.

When i run this in the IDM I can see all the entries but only first one is actually created on the target resource. When I open the user object in IDM and hit Save button IDM creates the accounts on the target system.
I have already tried by using the refresh view just before the checkin view action but no luck..
Any help for solving this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply... in my case this would be done by the active synch process so no GUI form is required. I will be getting a list of application ID for the user by LDAP AS. One i get it i will have to parse it and get the list of application user id. I am passing those ID;s to a workflow where I am forming the resource name as you mentioned
for example:
If i get user1#user2#user3 from AS i am separating them based on # using split and getting 3 different user id;s
now i am forming a string with the resource name and passing it to the sub process in which i am checking out the user object, setting the user attributes and checking in the new view.
user1#LDAP
user2#LDAP|1
user3#LDAP|2
Problem ; When i run this user1 is getting created in LDAP but user2 and user3 are not. There entry is getting created in IDM.
When I open the IDM object I get a yellow triangle (warning) and if I open the user object and hit save button IDM creates the user account on the LDAP.
any help for further solving this problem would be appreciated.

Multiple accounts on the same resource in Oracle Waveset 8.1.1 patch 5

Hi IDM Experts!
I've customized my userforms in order to create multiple accounts on the same resource using the syntax accounts[<resourceName>|n].<attribute> like the documentation suggests. That worked fine using Sun Identity Manager 8.1.
However, I've not been able to create new multiple accounts after I upgraded to Oracle Waveset 8.1.1 patch 5.
Is there anything else that I have to take into account for this new version? Is that a bug?
Thanks in advance for your help!

How do I create a 2nd iTunes account on the same computer?

I have an iPhone tied to one computer. I have a second iPhone that I need to use the same computer to be able to back it's data up. Do I need to create a 2nd iTunes account on the same computer? If so, how do i do this? Thanks.

No, creating a 2nd iTunes account is not necessary.

How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account on the same computer?

How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account to the same computer?

I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them. I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory. I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods. [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.
