Multiple disconnected users on the same laptop

Has any open come across the following requirement? I have a customer that is interested in 'sharing' laptops with multiple offline users with the ability to sync. Can we have multiple disconnected users on the same laptop? If so what would be the options? The challenge is how to manage multiple extracts on one MWC installation. I suspect that 'OOTB', we only support one extract per machine/installation of the MWC. We may be able to support multiples, but it would take some config/customization.

Multiple profiles/users on the same device

Hi there,
I know that iOS is a single user environment.
But, I am currently working in an enterprise environment and I was wondering if it was possible to have several profiles on the same device, maybe using certificates or so?
Thanks for your help
Cheers,
Pierre.

It would seem that unlike previous iOS devices the iPad and possibly AppleTV call for the ability to enable multiple profiles/users on the same device.
I would suggest that if this capability is not on the roadmap for iOS by now then there is a least one place where alternatives to the iPad will have a major advantage.
The thought they I would have to buy multiple iPads one for myself, my wife and my child because of a software constraint is untenable from a ecological standpoint (all these devices end up as landfill) let alone the economic one.
Also as I use the iPad I see it's potential to become as important computing platform to me as my laptop eventually surpassing it. In this light I can't see how it could remain just a personal device.

HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

Multiple itune users on the same computer

Is it possible to have two seperate itunes running on the same computer? My husband and I share a computer and both have ipods. We both have different tastes in music so we would like to be able to access our own itunes instead of having to share a library with all the music together.
He currently has itunes set up with all his music on the computer at home. I have been running my itunes at work and would like to be able to bring my stuff home. Is this possible?

When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically three ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library
b) Creating Multiple Libraries in a single user account
c) Creating multiple user accounts.
Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
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): iPod - Syncing Music
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: Adding songs to iPod shuffle - Windows
Multiple Libraries
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. You can read about Windows user accounts here:

Multiple runtime users for the same runtime

Hi,
Is there any GUI method to create multiple runtime users to access the same runtime repository ? Currently, we are running this script:
=============
grant WB_U_UII_OWB_REP9204 to &&rep_user;
grant WB_R_UII_OWB_REP9204 to &&rep_user;
grant WB_D_UII_OWB_REP9204 to &&rep_user;
grant WB_A_UII_OWB_REP9204 to &&rep_user;
==============
Is this the correct way of doing it ?
Thanks and regards,
Biswa.

Biswa,
No way to do this in UI other than the first time the runtime repository is created by the Runtime Assistant. However, as you correctly point out, granting the following 4 roles to any user is all it takes: WB_RT_X, where RT is the name of your Runtime Repository and X is A, D, R or U:
- The User role (U) gives select access to the public views in the runtime repository.
- The Developer role (D) gives execute access to the PL/SQL packages in the runtime repository required to perform deployment operations.
- The Runtime role (R) gives execute access to the PL/SQL packages in the runtime repository required to perform execution operations.
- The Admin role (A) gives execute access to the PL/SQL packages in the runtime repository required to perform administrative operations.
So you actually have some flexibility as to what exactly you want to allow the user to do.

How can multiple Mac users have the same iTunes?

I have a MacBook, and my wife and I have separate accounts on it. It's easier that way for separate Facebook accounts, email, etc. However, it's complicated when it comes to iTunes and applications. We both want to use the same iTunes library. We have iTunes Match, but I'd rather not re-download my entire library when it's already on my computer just so we both have access to it. I tried following the directions at this article, but it didn't work. So, how can both my wife and I, from different accounts on the same Mac (and using the same Apple ID) access the same iTunes library and have any changes reflected on both accounts?

Obviously, if you just need to copy those iTunes folders, you don't need the ability to write; just the ability to read, which you already have.
Besides, the /Users/Shared folder is indeed an excellent location for a shared iTunes library; I hadn't yet considered that. Ignore all the above instructions. First, make sure your two iTunes libraries are in sync. Use an external hard drive (or mess with permissions) to do what copying you need to. Then go into iTunes and iTunes>Preferences...>Advanced and change the iTunes Media folder location to /Users/Shared. All of your iTunes content should be copied (or moved) into /Users/Shared.
After that, do the same thing in the other account, and both your iTunes libraries will now be pointed to the same location.

Can multiple XP users access the same iTunes library?

Because I'm having a REALLY hard time getting that to work at all. I've moved my entire iTunes folder into 'Shared Documents' so that all users should be able to access it and changed the option in iTunes Preferences to the correct 'all users' path, but iTunes still tries to find the info in 'my' (sal's) documents instead of 'all.'
Anyone figure this out, or does it somehow break the EULA and isn't supported? The wife and I just want to use the same library since we're on one computer. Seems silly to not allow a user with admin rights to allow other users access.
Thanks,
Sal

Sal,
As this article in the Apple Knowledge Base explains the trick is to move the iTunes Music folder, not the entire iTunes folder, to "a publicly accessible location" and I believe they mean to suggest C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music as a good place.
It is important that the iTunes Library files remain in Sal's Documents and Sal's Wife's Documents.

Multiple iPod Users on the same computer & Music Sharing

Looking for some help...1 computer, 4 individual users. I originally purchased my iPod, ran the iTunes software of have a substantial library.

How do I manage multiple iTunes users on the same PC?

Hi- I'm new to iPod and iTunes. We have 3 iPod's in our house but only 1 PC. How can I set up iTunes so we can all manager our music separately? Thank you!!

I manage three iPods too--mine (a mom of 50+ years old); a son 22 years old; and a daughter 14 years old. Obviously we must all have very different tastes in music!
You're right we do! But we all share one library--because we like all of our music to be in one place. So all of our iPods are set to MANUALLY update. Then we create playlists that we want to add to our device. This has worked well for over two years now. I have no other advice!

There are multiple users with the same display name

Hi,
We have a user and when she get an item assigned to her she sees the following alert:
"There are multiple users with the same display name USERNAME and at least one of them does not have read permissions to some of the files"
Now I looked in the database and when I run the following query with the username:
SELECT
[ProviderDisplayName]
,[DisplayName]
,[HasDisplayName]
,[Domain]
,[AccountName]
,[UniqueUserId]
,[LastSync]
FROM [Tfs_Configuration].[dbo].[tbl_Identity] where displayname like '%USERNAME%'
Then I get 2 same usernames back, How can I get rid of one of them ? When I access TFS trough the portal I only find 1 occurence of this user.
We use VS2013 and TFS2013 update 4
Best regards

Hi DSW,
Thanks for your post.
In your query result, please check if these two users have the same Account Name. if they are two different Account Name in result, it indicate there’s two users have the same display name in your AD, please check that two users’ information in
your AD. We suggest change one user’s display name in AD.

Can multiple roles be assigned to users of the same PC?

Hi,
I'm using Contribute 3, and am set up as the administrator of a web site.
I've created a new role for other users, and want to test the new role and its related permissions.
But when I open the connection key attachment on my PC, it automatically picks up the administrator role when Contribute opens.
Does anybody know whether it's possible to have multiple Contribute roles in use for the same web site, on the same PC, preferably password protected?
Thanks in anticipation,
Andrew

That makes sense, thanks Krishna.
Do you mind if I ask another question?
I've provided Contribute users with the facility to create new pages
based on a standard Dreamweaver template.
In the future, if the template changes, I'll download the user-created
pages from the server, but is it possible to automatically reflect
template changes in these pages - as with the automatic update
indicator available when creating template-based pages in Dreamweaver.
Thanks again,
Andrew
Quoting Krishna Prasad B V <[email protected]>:
Hi Andrew,
If users have different user accounts in the same machine,
then, this
would work fine. So, you can log out of the machine, log in as
another user, and
launch Contribute and create connection to a website as a different role. The
other users in the same machine who are using Contribute will not be
affected by
this.

Importing Photos and Music from Multiple users on the same Mac

I am the same person with multiple users on one iMac. I need to have the same pics and music files on all of the user names on the one computer.
I have the family pack MobileMe plan.
Where are the files located for the photos and music in iTunes?
I would like to import them from one user to another user on the same computer.
Thank you

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
If you Import the files from one User to another then you will use double the disk space on your HD as you will have multiple copies of everything. Why not simply share the files between accounts?
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
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.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) 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.
Regards
TD
