Multiple users/iTunes, one computer/account

We currently have one computer and 3 separate iTunes libraries running off of a single account. We want to transfer 2 of the 3 libraries to 2 descrete computers, but are afraid that "authorizing" a new computer to allow syncing with the single account will disallow continued use of that account on the original machine.
We suspect that 2 new accounts will need to be set up, but wonder how to perserve the libraries while transferring 2 of them to the new computers and retain the original account for the original computer. Thanks.

Hudgie's advice is correct. But if you want more detailled instructions read this Apple document:

  • ITunes library synchronization across multiple users on one computer

    I've got a PC running MS XP/Home, with a separate user account for each family member. I also repointed all the iTunes library file pointers to the SAME file on the "D" hard drive (taking all that pressure off the "C" drive, which is filling up!)--so each iTunes incarnation for each user points to the same (master) file.
    But when I download music from the Music Store into the library from my user account, it doesn't show up in the iTunes library listing when my daughter logs in using her account--and she can't download it to her iPod.
    Why? I bought it for her; why should she have to download it? It's all on one computer!
    Is it that iTunes really can't handle multiple users on one computer??????? I don't get it...this isn't any copyright or license issue.
    I'd appreciate any tips to get the iTunes on one user's account to "restudy" the library to see if it's been changed by another user. We're all one family on our one computer!

  • How to use Keychain for multiple users on one computer?

    I have a new Macbook Pro with Yosemite.  I just moved over from PC for my work computer and the Keychain thing is killing me!  I am a social media consultant so I manage multiple accounts for multiple clients.  I need a way to log in and out as them on many different platforms.  The reality is that I am the only user but I log in and out of different things as if this was a public computer with multiple users. 
    PC allowed me a drop-down option with each login.  For example the email box could be clicked and then I could select the client email that I needed to fill in.  The password would then auto-populate.  Is there any setting I can change to make this happen on a Macbook? I have been logging in, deleting the info in Keychain, then logging in for the next client, delete...etc.
    Most password managers don't work because of this same problem.  Please don't recommend a password manager app unless it can handle logging in and out of (for example)10 different LinkedIn profiles.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  • Cisco AnyConnect Multiple Users on One Computer

                       Hello All,
    I work for County Government and we are attempting to swtich from the Cisco VPN Client to the AnyConnect Client. It seems to work great when you have a single user assigned to a pc, however, it is a different story when you have multiple users assigned to one machine. Basically we do not know who will be logging into a machine during a certain day so we could have 5-6 users needing one pc and all of them being able to use the AnyConnect when they log in with their own Windows credentials. I understand there is an .XML file out there with some information that is needed but is there a way to modify it and place in each user's profile so that it will work for all of them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    By default, a locally logged-in user can establish a VPN connection only when no other local user is logged in. The VPN connection is terminated when the user logs out, and additional local logons during a VPN connection result in the connection being torn down. Remote logons and logoffs during a VPN connection are unrestricted.
    With this feature, AnyConnect disconnects the VPN connection when the user who established the VPN connection logs off. If the connection is established by a remote user, and that remote user logs off, the VPN connection is terminated.
    You can use the following settings for Windows Logon Enforcement:
    •Single Local Logon—Allows only one local user to be logged on during the entire VPN connection. With this setting, a local user can establish a VPN connection while one or more remote users are logged on to the client PC, but if the VPN connection is configured for all-or-nothing tunneling, then the remote logon is disconnected because of the resulting modifications of the client PC routing table for the VPN connection. If the VPN connection is configured for split-tunneling, the remote logon might or might not be disconnected, depending on the routing configuration for the VPN connection. The SingleLocalLogin setting has no effect on remote user logons from the enterprise network over the VPN connection.
    •SingleLogon—Allows only one user to be logged on during the entire VPN connection. If more than one user is logged on, either locally or remotely, when the VPN connection is being established, the connection is not allowed. If a second user logs on, either locally or remotely, during the VPN connection, the VPN connection is terminated.

  • Multiple Users on One Computer

    I have 1 computer, 1 Itunes library, and now 2 Ipods. I have separate accounts defined in Windows for two users, but both Ipods are syncing to the 1 iTunes library. Now that I have 2 Windows accounts, how do I create two separate iTunes libraries that and syncing them separatly to 2 different Ipods?

    Your iPod will update from wherever a particular iTunes Library is getting it's music. When you log into your wife's account are are you seeing the songs in her library? If you have music in your wife's library it should just be a case of logging in to her user account and connecting the iPod. If her iPod was previously connected to your library and is in auto-sync mode you will get a message that the iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc. Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will replace whatever is on it with whatever is in the new library. One thing to be aware of when using two Windows accounts is that iTunes won't support that function so if you are using it you need to switch it off, you can read more here: iPod for Windows: Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported

  • Multiple users on one apple account.  How can I see which devices were used to purchase apps?

    I share my apple account with my three children.  Inappropriate apps were purchased.  Everyone denied making the purchase.  Is there anyway I can find out which device made these purchases?

    If only one of them purchased the app(s), wouldn't it only be on that one device (plus the computer's iTunes library if you have automatic downloads turned on)?

  • Sharing IPhoto among multiple users on ONE computer. Question about article

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304890
    Does anyone have an idea why the article doesn't mention using users/shared instead of creating a separate partition. It seems much easier, though from some of the other posts it looks like Permissions on users/shared may not work properly.
    This seems awfully complicated for the machine that advertises itself as easy to use. It was much easier to share files on Windows.

    I have followed the famous Apple article and have created a disk image with permissions ignored and the iphoto library in it. But in order to have the other user access the disk image, I have put it in the users/shared folder. As a result, when trying to access the library from the other user account, it says that I do not have enough rights to access the library. Any thoughts ?
    Thank you.

  • How do you limit TOC navigation for multiple users on one computer?

    If you have 5 Adobe Captivate 5.5. Projects linked together to play consecutively how can you set up a TOC so that each new user starts from the beginning  and can only go back to slides that the new user has viewed?  We have  the TOC set to Enable Navigation, Navigate Visited Slides Only, and View Status Flag. This is a required training video that will be taken by many users.  We need them to be able to go back to the sections that they already viewed but not be able to see the sections that others have already watched.  In other words, we don't want them to be able to advance ahead to the sections that the previous test takers have viewed.
    Message was edited by: DOLOnlineTrainers
    Problems:
    •     Remove the TOC and they have no navigation abilities to see something they may have missed
    •     Keep it in and the viewer can advance to parts they have not viewed as the previous user set the ability
    •     Put a back button in and they can only go back one at a time and have no ability to get back to where they were if they keep hitting back other than watch over
    •     Tried the clear button in TOC under status flag which clears the status flags yet it only works on one section at a time and does not clear all linked projects
    •     Is there something we are missing? Tried reading blogs and really can’t pinpoint problem

    To get each user to have a different experience when viewing the content, you need to have some way for each user to be uniquely identified, otherwise the browser has no way of knowing that THIS is not the same person that was looking at the content an hour ago.  The way this is normally achieved is by getting users to log in as a different profile. 
    There's no EASY way I can think of to achieve what you want WITHOUT users having different profiles.  You would need to get some custom HTML programming done by someone that basically mimicked separate browser sessions under the same login.  It's theoretically possible, but I've never been required to do anything like this.

  • How do I backup/restore multiple IPhone on one computer

    Hi everyone
    Need some help here. I work as a helpdesk and recently most of the IPhones are now due for upgrade. What is the best way to backup the data from old Iphone and restore to new Iphone for multiple users on one computer?  Basically everyone expects to hand me their old phone and new phone, and when they get the new phone back, the new phone will have the same data as it was on the old one. 
    I have done backup/restore just for myself before. Is there a easier way to do for multiple users on the same computer?
    Any input will be appreciated
    Thanks
    Charlie

    First of all, thanks for quick reply.
    How about backup to icloud and then restore from icloud?  I did not bring it up because I do not want the backup/restore to cripple to network.
    I would normally ask the users to take their old phone and new phone to AT&T store or Apple store to get it done. But as I work in corp office, and all I dealt with are the CEO, CFO, etc. They want the upgrade process done and without them getting involved (I try to keep it that way to make them happy).
    any thoughts?

  • HT202213 I have 3 users on one computer with 3 unique user accounts.  Each have unique ITunes accounts.  How do we share our music libraries using home sharing?

    I have 3 users on one computer with 3 unique user accounts.  Each of us have separate and unique ITunes accounts.  How do we share our music libraries using Home Sharing?  Everything that I can find talks about sharing between networked computers, but this is all on the same computer.  I just want to share between ITunes accounts.  Thanks!

    Hi b noir, I also have two users on one pc with two different iTunes libraries.  But I also want to put them onto an external hard drive so that I can free up some memory on the pc.  So I figure I need to consolidate the two users iTunes libraries first before moving to hard drive?  But not quite sure how to do that on the iTunes 11?  Thanking you in advance!!

  • Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

    Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

    Like most applications you only need to install it once for it to be available to all users. (That said it is possible to install an application and only make it available to the current user, but that's rarely needed.)
