One phone, sync photos to one Mac user account, iTunes to another?
My laptop has two User accounts, one for me and one for my wife. My wife's iPhone syncs with the iTunes on my user account. However, she would like her iPhone's photos to sync to the iPhoto on her user account.
Is there a way to do this? If we connect her iPhone while her user account is open, it wants to erase all of her iTunes music.
Just use My Photo Stream in iPhoto to sync the photos from her iPhone to iPhoto.

Im trying to sync photos from my mac to my iPod nano 3rd generation, and an error keeps coming up that says "format could not be converted". How do I fix this?
Hi newipoduser,
Here are some possible solutions:
Do you use musicmatch jukebox on your computer? If you do, you have to go into task manager on windows and end process mim.exe. It interferes with disconnecting ext devices
Empty your "trash/recycle bin."
If that doesn't work, try quitting all your programs, especially music-type programs, basically things that look for mp3's etc.
if that doesn't work, "log off" then "log on" and that should refresh/purge your OS system.
Finally, you can restart your computer.
Hope one of these helps!
Cheers,

I have recently bought a second I phone4 and have the same apple ID on both of them, strangely I noticed the messages sent from one phone appearing the other one along with any pictures I sent from one of my Iphones. Is it possible to see the same msgs.
You need to setup different Receive At addresses for iMessage.
If you don't want the same pics on each, turn off PhotoStream.

I deleted a large number of contacts on one iphone when i got a new one. icloud must have automatically synced to the old one, then synced my new one to that, thus deleting many contacts. can i restore them? can i retrieve a snapshot of my icloud as it existed yesterday?
When a device that is connected to an icloud account has it's contacts deleted, the same contacts at icloud.com are also deleted and then the changes propagate to other computers and devices also connected to the same icloud account. In other words, the contacts are deleted everywhere. Also, any iOS backup to icloud does not include contacts or any of the other Apple data, like calendars, reminders, etc. The only way you can get that data back is if it was on a computer which has been frequently backed up. You restore the data from the backup. (This reference to "backup" is a local backup, it has nothing to do with icloud.)

Store access problems with different Mac user accounts
Hi,
My daughters account cannot connect to the iTunes store ONLY when she is logged into her user account on our iMac.
When logged into my user account she is able to connect to the store.
I can connect to the store if I log into my iTunes account when I am logged in her iMac user account.
Hope you are still with me!
I am running Mac OS X 10.5.2 & iTunes 7.6.2 (9)
The computers firewall settings are 'allow all incoming connections'.
There have been no changes to our netgear router.
As stated there is no ISP issue here as she can connect on other Mac user accounts and I can connect on her Mac user account.
I have deleted her .com.apple.iTunes.secure.plist
The error message -50 takes about 5 minutes to arrive after the 'accessing iTunes store' eventually stops. We have also had error -4 on one occasion.
It is possible to view her account details but when clicking on the iTunes store icon in iTunes it doesn't connect to the store.
I have deleted the existing iTunes file and downloaded a new iTunes file. I have changed the purchasing from shopping cart to one click in iTunes Preferences.
And I have emailed apple. Their reply hasn't been of help as yet.
Hopefully someone will have some ideas as to what to do next!
Regards, JonI've had another reply back from Apple which I am posting should anyone else have similar problems. Sadly it is a very disappointing and I think rather strange response.
+I understand that you are still unable to sign into your accouint on your other computer. I sincerely apologize for any frustration this may have caused you and I would be happy to assist you today.+
+I have looked further into this issue and your issue seems to be caused by a technical issue, which is out of my scope of support. The iTunes Customer Support answers questions about iTunes Store billing and accounts, downloading purchases from the iTunes Store, and iTunes Store content.+
+However, Apple also offers support for the .Mac services. Please visit the .Mac Support website to review the information provided or submit a question to the .Mac Support team:+
+http://www.apple.com/support/dotmac+
+In the future, if you need assistance with the iTunes Store, please don't hesitate to contact us again. I hope that you continue to enjoy using the iTunes Store. Thank you for being a loyal iTunes customer.+
Sincerely,
So my question is Who answers technical iTunes support from Apple?
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple - their design, the fact my computer does 'just work' and the way I now listen to music. Just a bit surprised by that reply.
Anyway fortunately I solved my problem and I hope this thread helps anyone else.

I cant sync photos on my iphone5c to my itunes library

Correct.
Photos are not in iTunes library.
iTunes simply sync photos from folder or albums to the iPhone.
You use Windows system software to import them from iPhone to computer.

Sync photos from two separate iCloud accounts
How do I sync photos from two separate iCloud accounts onto my PC?
Howdy Springcheer,
While this is not syncing per se, I'm wondering if iCloud Photo Sharing will do what you need to get photos from two separate iCloud accounts to your PC.

Please read the article. It may work for you.
Take care,

Syncing multiple devices, user accounts, iTunes accounts one computer
I have a question that I can't find a clear answer.
I previous had one iPod touch and one iPad that I synched with my iTunes library. No problem. But now the wife has finally purchased a verizon iPhone and I want to be able to use my vast app collection for her phone.
Scenario is we each have separate user accounts (so we can maintain our own calendars and contacts, ect.). We each have our own ITunes accounts and our own iTunes libraries by default. She will not be purchasing much on her account though.
How do I, without creating a can of worms, create one library to sync to so I can put apps and music on her phone without erasing any of her separate information. I have read a lot on the subject and there does not seem to be a clear answer anywhere. Yes, I have read ht1495 but that does not seem to be exactly on point
Basically, I have 3 devices, 2 user accounts and 2 iTunes accounts but one computer only. I want to be able to have all iTunes stuff available on both user accounts and be able to have both people be able to read and write to the same library. I am sure there are plenty of people running into this issue with more and more people getting iPhones with verizon. It seems that it is easier to do with multiple computers than one computer.
So, I am looking for help or advice on the easiest way to accomplish this task.
IMac Mac OS X (10.6.6)The easiest way to accomplish want you want is to transfer what content you want to the separate iTunes library under each user account. To transfer content from your library to your wife's library so that she can use it on her phone, do this:
1. Launch iTunes under your wife's login.
2. Sign her out of iTunes & then you sign in.
3. iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Disable auto-sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected.
4. Connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC!
5. Store>Authorize this Computer(only have to do this once).
6. File Transfer Purchases(all of the purchased content on your phone will be transferred to your wife's library).
7. When complete, eject your phone, sign out of iTunes, sign your wife back in.
You can now sync whatever content you want to your wife's phone. Just remember, all updates to apps obtained using your account must be done while signed in using your account: sign wife out, you sign in, update apps, you sign out, sign wife in, sync her phone.
This way you can share content(permitted under the EUSLA) and still maintain your separate logins. Do the same under your login if you want to share content from your wife's library.
Just load whatever content you want to share on each others phones, transfer the content, then delete it from the respective phone if you don't want to keep it there. -
ICal One-Way Sync? (iPhone to Mac)
So, the other day my mother accidentally erased all of her events in iCal on her Mac. She still had them all on her iPhone, so she tried to sync it with her Mac to undo the deletions. But it did the opposite; all of her events were lost on her phone. Luckily, I was able to restore her back-up onto her iPhone. So I need to know if there is a way to sync the events (one-way) from the phone onto the Mac.
Thanks!Thanks, Allan.
I am not sure if I will follow your advice, however. While you're probably right and it should be a true sync, what I was trying to say was that in my case (and apparently Berit's as well) it simply isn't.
Which means that apart from the fact that we will probably have to clean out our adress books and calendars again after a reset and sync. I've done that three times already and believe me, it's a major pain. Plus, there is also a chance it won't work afterwards.
I was actually hoping for there to be some workaround solution like a one-way sync. And I'm not happy with Apple's tendency to prevent such workarounds wherever they can. I understand they want to profit from their awesome products but wherever anything doesn't work they're starting to lose their user friendliness along the way. Which still, to me, is their selling point number one, notwithstanding the really great design.
Honestly, I'm not sure what to do right now.
But thanks again for your time. I'll keep posting what happens.
Best,

Automatic downloads only works with one Mac user account, can I get help?
I have three user accounts on my iMac, and I set up iTunes Automatic downloading on my iTunes account on my iMac user account. Then I went to set up my brothers iTunes automatic download on his iMac user account but it said the computer was already in use, and gave me options like transfer or cancel. Just to clarify this was an attempt with one iMac two user accounts and two separate iTunes accounts.
It appears we are all having the same issue, and for themost part talking about the same thing, but to reiterate:
1) One (1) computer, to help distinguish the devices letscall it an iMac
2) Two (2) or more distinct User ID’s on said iMac with fullAdmin permissions
3) Each distinct User ID on the iMac has a distinct Apple IDwith an associated iTunes and iCloud account
4) For every User ID / Apple ID there is a separate personwith their own iDevice
5) None of the iTunes accounts, iDevices or Apple ID’s arecross sync’d
5) (a) Forexample, Person 1 does not share apps, etc. with Person 2’s iTunes account. Weare assuming everyone distinct Apple ID / iDevice buys its own App’s, musicetc.
6) Only one (1) of the iMac User ID’s and that User ID’sassociated iTunes and iCloud account can have auto-download and iCloud servicesactivated at any one time.
6) (a) Just to be redundantly clear,that means that every other User ID / iTunes – iCloud ID/ iDevice CANNOTauto-download or sync to iCloud
Somewhat reformed PC guy here (wife is a life long Macuser), but all I can say is are you (*&^%$%^&* kidding me?
If I wanted these problems, and didn’t care about aestheticsor battery life, I would have stuck with Win-crap / Android for 50% or less ofthe cost.
Besides my preference for the Win-Devil UI (I know, I know…)I cannot believe after spending more than $4,500 on iFleecing this summer I amstill having issues like this (Mac Air, iMac, iPhone 4- two and the buy-out oftwo cell contracts).
Granted, when I plug something in, it works… the way Stevethinks I should want it to function.
In the hopes of avoiding some iFlogging by my fellow usershere, I concede the superiority, in every conceivable way, of all of thehardware and even like the MS Office suite in Mac better (at least not less). Ihave no intention of going back to the Win-Devil (don’t even run an emulator oneither computer), but this is a Windows-like screw-up. -

All Creative Cloud & programs on one Mac user account
Hey,
I'm wanting to make an account on my mac only for design work, I'm hoping you can give me some advice on the best way to make it and set it all up. I don't want any of the programs on the other account I want my normal user completely separate from my design user. I've given it a try, currently the creative could icon is at the top of both accounts and the programs are across both accounts too. Any advice would be really appreciated.
ThanksOdds are that the permissions are locked for certain folders associated with the user account under which Premiere crashes. This is typically the result of migrating user accounts when upgrading OS X.
Here's a blog post on the issue: fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications | After Effects region of interest -
Problem while syncing photo to iPhone and iPad. ITunes 10.3.1 mac
It never happened before but just happened today with iTune 10.3.1 mac. I am using it on 10.6.8.
Between last time and now, I did update some mac 10.6.8. and today some java for mac os. After syncing photo to iPad today, I noticed some photos are incomplete. Half of the photo is white. Some with complete photo but incomplete thumbnail. It happened to 30-40 photos out of 1200+. I deleted ipod photo cache and resync the photo but it happened mostly to the same photos that had problem with slight variations. I tried the same with my iPhone and had the same problem. I tried 3-4 times and the problems remained. So I can only suspect that something went wrong while iTune optimizes photos.
The only way to solve this for now is to remove the problematic photos and resync them one photo at a time. Anyone noticed similar problem please give me some advice.I have the same issue and tried all of the following without success (hoping to save others the hassle):
Rebooted phone
Restored phone and imported backup
Restored phone with no backup and imported photos
Moved photo folder elsewhere on machine and tried to sync it
Tried variety of folders with different images from different devices
Restarted Mac
Repaired permissions on mac
Ran Disk Utility and repaired hard drive, found a few issues
Deleted iTunes Cache
Deleted iTunes related plists
Deleted iPod cache each time
Ran TouchCopy and deleted the photo plists forcing the phone to rebuild the database
Turned syncing of photos off and on again
Ran all weekly/monthly cron jobs
New iphone 4 at Apple Store still repro'd
And so on . . .
Other notes:
Synced to iPod Touch I have and the same photos synced just fine
Restored phone as new and synced on another computer the same folder of photos that I copied over to it and it worked, but it is my husbands computer that I don't keep my photos on/use for syncing normally
Imported the same folder to iPhoto without copying the photos and it works, but I don't want to use iPhoto so not an option for me. Or using a different computer also worked, but not an option.
I went to the genius bar as well after trying all of the above and they had no idea and had not seen this. It appears to be more of a computerissue than an iphone 4 issue though. I say this since putting the same files on another computer (my husbands) synced fine to the phone. They replaced my iphone 4 and the issue STILL repro'd with nothing else on the phone with my computer.
Config:
MacBook Pro purchased December 2010, 10.6.8, latest software updates installed, iPhone 4 latest updates installed

A colleague has all his Mac photos showing up on his iPhone, even though the "Sync with iPhoto" tickbox is unticked when he syncs it with iTunes. He has PhotoStream turned off. What else is possible to clear the photos off his iPhone please?
Have him try putting the checkmark back in front of "Sync Photos From" on the Photos page of iTunes and change the selection of photos to be synced so that only one or two new photos is selected (and none of the existing ones) and then sync. If that removes the existing ones, then remove the checkmark and sync again.
