Multiple Users on One PC

Hello and thanks in advance for the help.
I am new to itunes and the ipod. My wife has had an ipod for over a year and I finally decided to get one too.
We both share the same computer, but I do not want to share music with her or her with me.
What is the easiest way that we can use the same computer, but not share music. I created a login for myself at the istore, but I do not think that helps at all since her music and libraries still show up when I login.

See my answer to advilmonkey on the following link. It should solve the problem.

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 can I have multiple users on one apple id?

How can I have multiple users on one apple ID?
ie: I have my apple ID with my own credit, how can I set up credit for my son under the same apple ID, so that he can still access the same apps I've already downloaded and paid for?

I've been trying to figure out a clean way to do this too. I think you may need more than one Apple ID – one that is shared and used to purchase "sharable" items and then "individual" Apple IDs for you and your son. That's the idea that I'm pursuing for the moment.
It seems that there must be a way to do this, App Store purchases for the Mac are licensed across multiple machines. iPhone app purchases have "all your devices" licensing. Makes me think that Apple has a process in mind for sharing an account (or associating a device with multiple accounts).
Other things I've learned:
- Apparently you can't merge Apple ID accounts. I asked about this once at an Apple Store and was told that there was no way to do it.
- If you share an Apple ID the Messages app behaves in a somewhat surprising manner. It must use your Apple ID to decide where messages should be sent because all users get all messages. This can make it very hard to organize a surprise party :-)

Can you have multiple users on one apple Id and utilize iCloud?

My family shares an apple Id and we each have multiple Apple devices. When we use iCloud we "cross pollinate" each others devices with contacts, calendar events, etc. is it possible to manage multiple users on one apple Id with iCloud activated or are separate ID's required?

iCloud isn't designed as a multi-user service. Either you all have the same ID, and all your data is available to everyone, or you all have separate IDs and keep your data separate. You can share calendars, so that for example you could all have your own calendars but have one which is common to everyone:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479
If you want to share contacts you will have to do it manually. If you want to do file transfer you will have to find a third-party alternative.

I interpreted his post to mean that he meant multiple human users, not multiple devices. Hopefully, he'll clarify.

Can you have multiple users for one account?

Can you have multiple users for one account? if so how do you set it up.
We are using it for our department and it would be great to see who created what form instead of it being all one name.

Each person should have their own account. You can easily share the forms with other people in your department. You will be able to see who the author of the form is.

Allowing multiple users on one Skype ID

I was wondering if allowing multiple users online one Skype ID is possible, I currently run a small business, where the majority of the customers use skype just for text chatting, not the call features.
I was looking to hire employees, but use the same skype thats associated with my current reputation. It also helps when I get return customers, since it'll be available to all workers.
The last 2 times I tried setting this up, my skype got locked, and I wouldn't be able to afford for it to get locked.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about the feasibility of this.

Being doing this idea for years and really was hoping for more development.
Bottomline when a call comes in and either I answer the call or let my staff answer the call. Then later i can see what happened.
Unfortunity each new call is not populating outlook with an automactic new record so notes could be made.
Currently we name the client with notes on back end eg: John Smith ..wants to buy main street call back asap.
This is crazy way to make notes on incoming calls but there no was to conert to a task or an appointment.... One day .....i can only dream.

Adding multiple users into one security group at one shot

Hi,
Is there any way we can add multiple users into one security group at one shot into PWA.
For example: I want 100 create 100 users in EPM and Providing them with custom define Team defined permissions and can I add Time sheet Manager as well while creating bulk user through resource template in Project server 2010.
Thanks,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
In order to add users in a security group, you can open the group, select all the appropriate resources (pressing CTRL key) and add them to the group. There is no other easy way. Otherwise a powershell script could do the job.
For the timesheet manager, if all the 100 resources have the same timesheet manager, you can go to the resource center, select the resources (sorting by resource ID will give you together the latest resources added), bulk edit the resources and select the
timesheet manager for the selected resources.
Hope this helps,

Multiple users sharing one itunes library

i have multiple users on my mac, but i'd like us all to be able to access the same itunes library. when i go to itunes prefs on one of the other users accounts and redirect their music library to my folder, it says it is doing it, but itunes still goes to their own music folder instead of mine. i can share my library with the sharing pref, but while they can now listen to my music, they still can't use it in imovie. is there any easy way around this problem??
thanks for your help.

I wrote a simple shell script that executes each time a user logs in (well, actually, each time I log in, coz' it's not really applicable to other users). It syncs my work and home addressbooks and iCal calendars to one another.
I named it "sync". Then I read somewhere that if you wanted to make it double-clickable (to launch it from the Finder), I appended a ".command" filename extension (so it's now named "sync.command"). I also did a chmod 755 to that file so that it had execute privileges. Depending on whether you give each user their own copy of this thing, or keep a single copy in, say, the /Users/Shared directory, you may have to play around with chmod. Whatever, just so long as the user that has just logged in has execute permissions to the file, and to the entire path to the file, you should be good.
Then, in SysPrefs > Accounts > Login Items, I added that "sync.command" file to the list. So, really the only difference is I'm not wrapping mine inside an Automator script like you are.
I had tried adding it to ~/Library/LaunchAgents and make a launchd plist for it, that would kick it off at login. But I didn't get that to work. Don't know why. But just adding the double-clickable executable unix script to the Login Items list did the trick. Whether the plist has to hang out there with it, I don't know. I still have it there, though, in case I ever get motivated to figure out what's wrong with my launchd plist file. So, if just adding it to the Login Items list doesn't do it for you, you could try making a (functional?) launchd plist for it and plopping them both in ~/Library/LaunchAgents, too. That's how I am now, and, like I said, it launches at user login as that user's process (not as a root process like the above referenced article said how login hooks worked -- although, you may want it to run as root since you want this to work with multiple users...in which case, you might want to listen to Cole and not me...).

HT1203 Multiple users on one account

I have one account, and I want to be able to have multiple users with access to the library, but I don't want everything to sync. How can I do this?

Plug in a device, select it in iTunes, click the tabs acoss top and select what you want to sync.
Do this for each device.

How do I have multiple users on one itunes?

I have one computer and 3 ipods. I pay for all the downloads on my childrens ipods, but I am having difficulty on connecting and using all 3 ipods. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do this?

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:
Using Windows XP User Accounts

Re: Multiple users on one home computer wanting to...

Can a windows PC (Windows 7) be set up such that each User Account has its own (automatic) log in to Skype where ONLY that User's Skype details are visible, including their Contact List and settings, no-one elses?

Hello Cosiena,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways to manage multiple iPods with one computer. For more information on these different methods and how to accomplish each, see this Apple support document.

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.
You can get more information from followng link:-

Can you tell that I'm frustrated by a lack of documentation; I risk losing your kind support in my early
foray into Apex (help a drowning man please :-)
Thanks again in advance
Mungo :-)Its important to remember that Apex is nothing other than a framework for creating HTML and running web pages. So what used to be triggers are now standard javascript events. Although you will find help on the forum for javascript and maybe some in the documentation, javascript events are standard and not proprietary like Forms triggers were. Its frustrating, but there are a TON of resources (google) on the basics of javascript. For instance instead of when-validate-trigger, you'll probably look at the onblur event to trigger a piece of javascript code to run your validation. You can use onfocus which would be sort of like when-new-item-instance in Forms-speak.

Sharing photos between multiple users on one Mac

I'm trying to figure out how to easily share photos imported in by one user to other users in my family on my mac. I'm assuming we don't have to import them multiple times. It seems cumbersome to this new mac user to share them. I find the issue with iTunes. Any help?

HI Darien,
Here are all the links I have for the different kinds of sharing:
SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
-both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
-both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
-Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.
Sharing links from Apple....
Sharing your photos between computers
About shared photos
Turning off photo sharing
Looking for shared photos
SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
You can try one of these three methods:
1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
4- I have also read about ShareAlike
There is no other info on the site about how it works.
I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

Assigning multiple users to one action dynamically using Webdynpro

Hi Experts,
In my scenario we need to send a request to list of people dynamically .
How can we pass list of people through context parameter in the block.
I am passing the value through context but only first user in the list getting task in UWL.
It will be very useful if anyone providing any document regarding this.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi Pratik,
I need some help regarding the Parallel dynamic block
In process structure as follows.
Process:
Sequential Block:
->Action1:
DDPTSStatus(0..n)
ReqSequence(0..n)
ListofStakeHoldersforApproval(0..n)
Action2:
DDPTSStatus(0..n)
ReqSequence(0..n)
ListofStakeHoldersforApproval(0..n)
PDB Block:

Sequential Block:
->Action4:
DDPTSStatus(0..n)
ReqSequence(0..n)
ListofStakeHoldersforApproval(0..n)
I have done parameter grouping for PDB Multiline input (nodes) with Output of Action2 nodes at process level.
While i am trying to initiate action for Multiple users it is getting tasks in all users who are initiated but if one person performs the task action remaining users wont get the task and it will show No activity Present.
I think when i am Passing the values from Action2 output to PDB Action Input the problem is.
I am pasting the code which i wrote complete method of Action2 CO setting values for Multiline Input please correct me if i am wrong
IGPStructure output = executionContext.getOutputStructure();
for(int i=0;i<2;i++)
{ IGPStructure struct_ddptsStatus_out =
output.addStructure("DDPTSStatus");
// Set the values of the output parameters
/////////////development comments/////////////////
struct_ddptsStatus_out.setAttributeValue(
"Status",
wdContext
.nodeVn_DDPTSStatus()
.getCurrentElement()
.getAttributeValue(
"va_status")); }
executionContext.setResultState("Success");
executionContext.processingComplete();
Please tell me whether this code is correct.
