Multiple Guest Accounts using different system languages

Hello there,
I have an old G3 iMac that i want to set up in my guest room. As some of my friends are japanese and some are german i would like to prepare one guest account using german system language und one using japanese.
Is that even possible, or can i only use one system language (i.e. language used in Menu Bar and Finder ect.) for all accounts?
OS would be Tiger.
Thanks!

Hi GoldyPPC, und ein herzliches Willkommen zu den Foren!
Yep, I just did it, made two new Accounts, in each one went to System Preferences>International>Language tab, dragged German to the top in one, then the Formats tab to set Currency, Date/Time & such, after logging oit and back in to the first one, everything... Finder, Safari, Desktop, Dock, all was in German, repeated on second one for Japanese!

Multiple Guest Accounts / Behind-the-scenes Login

How would we go about logging a visitor in as a specific user behind-the-scenes (without them even seeing the Login Screen)? This question is driven from a requirement where we need to display a replica of the subportal branding at the guest view level. (Needs to go on the wish list for sure: Redirecting to a subportal and/or subportal guest accounts.) For example, if I created a [subportalname] Guest user for a subportal and wanted to automatically log a visitor in as that user, how would I trigger that process? Login PEI doesn't help me - none of those events seem to fire until the user is presented with the Login screen and manually clicks Log In - Looking at the Interpreter class right now, where we see the Guest login functionality (DoGuestLogin, etc.). How might we pass around a username and password and trigger an automatic login attempt with that data? We're basically looking for a work-around for multiple guest accounts - 1 per subportal - so that branding can appear right up front before a user actually logs in. We will have a parameter somewhere to branch out which subportal guest user to log the visitor in as. We've gone down a couple of different routes with no luck.
Again, due to a tight timeframe, we need details - like, "Create a custom activity space replacing the Interpreter class, edit [blah] function and use [blah] function to pass in your hardcoded username and password. Rebuild [blah] and deploy [blah] dlls to [blah] directories."

It turns out this is pretty complicated due to the internals of how user sessions get initialized. I've managed to get a test working where it logs you in as a guest in a different sub-portal. I can give you some rough information now.
You will need a Login PEI, and a custom Space and IloginControl/IHTTPControl. Obviously, you will need to edit the Login PEI xml file and the CustomActivitySpaces.xml file to get your customizations deployed.
The OnAfterLogin() method of the ILoginActions PEI should look something like this:
publicRedirect OnAfterLogin(Object _oUserSession, ApplicationData arg1)
IPTSession ptSession = (IPTSession) _oUserSession;
if(ptSession.GetSessionInfo().GetCurrentUserID() == PT_INTRINSICS.PT_USER_GUEST)
if(PTDebug.IsInfoTracingEnabled(Component.Portal_Browsing))
PTDebug.Trace(Component.Portal_UI_Infrastructure, TraceType.Info,
"Guest user login redirecting to guestloginspace to go to non-standard guest user.");
Redirect guestRedirect = newRedirect();
guestRedirect.SetLinkCreateNewSpace(GuestLoginSpace.STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME, null);
guestRedirect.SetControl(GuestLoginSpace.STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME);
returnguestRedirect;
returnnull;
and the LoginControl that I mentioned earlier is a bit more complicated than I implied. It also needs to be an IHTTPControl for login purposes. The custom space is very simple, so I will skip it. Here's the full class code for the custom guest login control:
publicclassGuestLoginControl implementsILoginControl, IHTTPControl
publicstaticfinalString STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME = "GuestLogin";

Multiple Email Accounts using MS Mail

I want to setup multiple email accounts using MS mail. My already has an account, but I want to add an account for my son. I've added the account on verizon and in MS mail. However, I want to have completly separate accounts so that when my son opens his email he only see his email and when my wife opens her email, she only sees her email. Right now, when MS mail is opened both their emails come up and when they send an email, they must select which email account they are sending from.
Does anyone know how to do this?

One option would be to not use MS Mail (I assume you really mean Windows Live Mail?). You could create accounts for them and have them just use the Web mail interface to get to their mail.
Another option would be to give each person their own "user account" on your machine instead of all logging into the computer as the same userid. If you do this, any mail settings will remain with the individual account.

How to separate joint Apple ID's account using different mails and passwords

Hello ROOOS,
When you speak of a joint Apple ID account it seems you mean a shared Apple ID.
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
Can I share my Apple ID with someone else?
You shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people. Each person should have their own Apple ID.
To eliminate the share one will keep it and the others will create their own Apple IDs.

New feature request: Having the possibility to use different keyboard language on multiple monitors.

I would love to see a new feature to allow the use of different keyboard language on multiple monitors with the same desktop mac.
Ex.: On dual monitor desktop, use english keyboard on the left screen and french keyboard on the right screen.
So I wouldn't have to switch keyboard language all the time!
Thanks.

You're not speaking to Apple here only other users like yourself.
Your request should be directed to Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback

How do I set up a guest account using the AirPort Express 2nd Generation?

I Just purchased a new 2nd Generation AirPort Express. The features list and the set-up guide says that I should be able to set up a guest account, but nowhere have I found how to do this. I am running AirPort Utility 5.6 on my MacBook Air under Lion and I even get a message that I should not make updates using version 5.6 because it is not the appropriate version for the 2nd generation AirPort Express. Software Update says there's nothing new for me. When I search the Apple support site there is not even a version of AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Lion though there is one for Snow Leopard. Even when I installed that version on my Mac Mini running Snow Leopard, I could see no way to create a guest account.
I came across a YouTube video describing a demonstrating how to set up the guest account on Time Capsule and the AirPort Exteme. There it's quite obvious because in the General section there is a tab for setting up the guest account. There is no such tab in either version 5.6 of the AirPort Utility I'm running under Lion or version 5.6.1 running under Snow Leopard.
What am I missing?
-Bill

Apple assumes that you are connecting the AirPort Express to a simple modem....not a modem/router or gateway type of device......that provides both modem and router functions in one enclosure.
If you have the AirPort Express connected to a gateway device, the Express is detecting that another router is present on the network, so the Express operates in Bridge Mode to prevent the conflicts that would normally occur when two routers are on the same network.
Open AirPort Utility 5.6, select the AirPort Express and click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
If the Connection Sharing setting is currently configured to "Off (Bridge Mode)", the Guest Network cannot be enabled with the type of "modem" that you have without breaking some basic networking rules.

Some font options not using default system language in font menus

Font options for Helvetica and Helvetica Neue (e.g. bold, italic, light, etc.) do not use the default system language (English) in the system wide font panel, or in font options within individual applications. Any suggestions as to how to correct this?

Could you provide a screen shot of what you are seeing, either here or by email (tom at bluesky dot org)?

Is it possible to give multiple users the same email account using different individual user ids/passwords (iMS 5.1)?

Hence, a manager could let one or more assistants access the manager's email. Also one could set up a group email account and multiple users with different id/passwords could process/manage the account.

Yes, look in the admin guide for the shared folders section. This in essence allows you to delegate permissions of individual mail folders to other users.
The functionality is being enhanced for iMS 5.2 due out shortly according to iPlanet.

How to make Weather use my system language

Hi all,
My situation is kind of uncommon, but I would like to try to post here to see if anyone happens to know a solution. If I should not post this question (which is about sync between iPhone and Macbook) here, please let me know.
Background:
iPhone 6 plus (language is Chinese)
Macbook Pro (language is English)
The problem:
If I add a new city in Weather on my iPhone in Chinese ( I had to add it using Chinese, btw), it shows as it is on my Mac. See picture below.
I also noticed that I can add that city again on my Mac again, in English of course. See picture below.
This happens in the other direction too. Adding a city on my mac in English, then it shows in English on my iPhone, and I can still add a Chinese version of that city.
This is weird to me, because usually this should be designed as the same model with two different views (same thing in different languages), not two separated models.
Please let me know if you know how Weather syncs data and/or how to solve this issue.
=== more: ===
The behavior becomes even weirder if I add a city in one language on one device and then add the same city in another language on another device. Take the capital of France for example, I added '巴黎' (Paris in Chinese) on my iPhone (and it is synced to Mac), then I added 'Paris' on my Mac. To my surprise, the second entry shows as '巴黎' on my iPhone, not as 'Paris' (I now have two exactly same entries on my iPhone).
And after I add another city on my iPhone, the second capital-of-France entry on my Mac becomes '巴黎' too. ( I think this is normal, as things are synced to another device when updated on one device).
notes:
- This also happens on the other direction.
- This is not happening every time. Sometimes this bug shows up, sometimes not.
- I found this behavior long ago. I'm pretty sure this is not only for the latest versions of iOS and Mac OS.

Move the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> to the root of the other drive. Press and hold down shift as you launch iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl where X:\ is the drive letter.
You should also consider making a backup of your library to an external drive.
iTunes will still want to store iOS backup data on the system drive unless you use the following process to relocate it.
Moving the iOS device backup location
Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
To move the current backup folder from C: to X: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "X:\Backup"
Where <User> is your Windows user name.
To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "X:\Backup"
If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "X:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

How can a family with multiple existing accounts use Home Sharing?

I'd like to use the new Home Sharing feature, but it appears to be restricted to families in which all of the family members share a single user account.
We already have separate accounts for each family member. Is there some way for us to use Home Sharing without abandoning most of our existing accounts, along with all of the purchases made by those accounts? I don't think anyone in this situation would be willing to do that.

Eh. I am not too sure since I have not messed with it much but I do have a great deal of experience with multiple accounts. Each computer can be authorized for multiple accounts. As can iPods. iPods can sync songs/videos/apps from multiple accounts as long as the computer is authorized with them. What I have set up here, is I buy my stuff I want, my parents buy what they want and so do my brothers. When my bro gets something I want I just move it to my computer. That way all our accounts are separate, but if there is something I want I can get it. Also, since the music no longer has DRM, it won't matter. It will play on any computer. What you should see is if you can just do the shared library with multiple accounts. Then if you don't have videos or such, you can get apps or music. Hope this helps!

Multiple Windows accounts using a single Library

I have not found a way to solve this problem but I am convinced that it is my lack of Windows expertise, so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I am talking about the iTunes Library and NOT Music Folder.
I have two login accounts in my WinXP environment. I want both of these accounts to have not just access, but full control over iTunes - add music, create and delete playlists, etc. In effect, I want iTunes to see both accounts as if they were one user. There is no issue with simultaneous access and conflicts because the machine is not configured to allow fast user switching(and it can't be - our IT dept won't allow). This also prevents using any sort of solution which uses iTunes music "sharing".
I had no problem locating the iTunes Music Folder in common space so both accounts can access the actual music, but for now, I've had to copy the iTunes Libray.itl (and the XML lib file) into the second user account's Docs and settings\account\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ path. Then I try remember which was changed last and manually sync - painful and error prone.
I tried copying the iTunes folder and library files to common access space (all users), and then creating shortcuts, renaming the shortcuts to the actual files names (dropping "shortcut to"), and putting the shortcuts in the locations where iTunes expects to find the "real" files. This is how I got it to work on the Mac - with aliases - but I guess that aliases and shortcuts don't exactly behave the same.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks - TK

Best way to manage multiple iTunes accounts (from different countries)

Ok, wasn't sure if this was the best community to ask this question, but here goes.
My wife and I have two iTunes accounts, one originally from the United States, the other originally from Australia. Over the years content has been purchased using both accounts.
We currently reside in Australia and primarily view our content on Apple TV. So far we’ve had no problems logging into either account and accessing all our content.
Now, I have a fear (perhaps an irrational one) that if we choose to permanently reside in one country (Australia, the US, somewhere else) that at some point Apple may cancel/restrict one of these accounts. Since there is no way for me to merge all our purchased digital content into the one digital library, we’re now wondering the best way to manage this?
I see there is a new "family sharing" feature soon to be launched, so that may be half the solution (assuming it will work with family members in different continents). If so, the other half of the question is, will we be able to still purchase content on both accounts? While in Australia since April we have rented movies on both accounts, but have only purchased movies etc on the Australian account (we can still do this on the US account, but we haven't risked it in case it gets cancelled because Apple decides we're no longer in the US - in other words, we don't want to spend $$$ on movies we may not be able to access in future).
What do others think? What is the best way for us to manage our scenario? Or am I worried about nothing and we can continue purchasing content on either account without fear of “losing” it later?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I did try and ring Apple, but the guy refused to give me advice until I provided my details and I did't want to do that at this stage.
Thanks everyone for your help!
MM

You may lose the ability to purchase content from the USA, but any content you've already bought will remain accessible. Back everything up.

Multiple VI's using different digital lines in one VI.

I have created multiple vi's, each of which require either reading or wroting to a different digital line on the CB-68LP board. I need to put them all in one individual vi so that I can see everything on the front panel. When I have tried this the vi seems to send a confused signal and operate things which it shouldn't.
Is it even possible to try and do what I am doing? If not, any ideas what I can do? Thanks.

Multiple VIs are usually the better approach. What I would suggest is parallel loops. These are loops which do not have any data dependency on each other. One handles the User Interface - the front panel where you "see everything." Another which reads and writes from/to the digital lines. Maybe even a third which processes the data. Exchange data among the loops with queues or functional globals.
Keep a record of the state of all the digital lines. When something is to be written to certain lines, use either a Write Line.VI ( I don't recall the exact name) or use AND and OR functions with masks to protect the states of line you do not want to change.
BTW, the CB-68LP is merely a connection interface, not the digital I/O baord itself.
