Only one account per mac

Originally, i'd used my intel macmini with my music match login and everything worked fine.
Then i created a new user for my wife and her different music match login on the macmini.
Finally, I have tried to setup my 2011, 15" MacPro laptop to be my main mac with my music match but it refuses to scan new music rips on this laptop.
When I changed the macmini to my wife's different music match account, I'd gotten some weird dialog saysing something like, You can only use one computer for your main music match and if you change you will not be able to use it for 90 days. This didn't make sense, then but now it does!
How can I fix this? We have paid for two different accounts but only one (my wife's) now accepts any non-iTunes store music!
I still have my thousand CDs if I have to re-rip all of my music but obviously, I don't want to if I don't have to.
Am I SOL because I gave her my old MacMini???
Is there some way I can deactivate MY account on her MacMini WITHOUT deactivating her account on that mac, as well? I don't want to make things worse!
Do I have to delete the thousand album CDs and re-rip all of it, again?
Somebody, please help!!!
This is a real problem for our Family Pack MobileMe to iCloud transition! It just doesn't seem to work!

joeatch2,
Sync the iTunes Store content from your work machine to your iPod or iPhone.
Authorize the home machine for your account. Connect the iPod or iPhone and go to the File menu and choose "Transfer purchases from "iPod or iPhone's name""
Sync the home content to the iPod or iPhone.
Authorize the work computer for the home account. Connect the iPod or iPhone and go to the File menu and choose "Transfer purchases from "iPod or iPhone's name""
Hope this helps,

  • I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. It is correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac.

    I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. They are both correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac. i use mac mail and it is my companies server. I took my computer and iPhone to the Apple store...4 hours later they said that couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.  Any suggestions???? I am also not able to log into the C-Panel...

    Same here! Happened yesterday to me on New iPad and iPhone 4S. On iPad I managed to correct it by removing the account and activating it again as an Exchange account...I have mail and calendar OK!
    On the iPhone nothing seems to  work!
    Facts:
    1. everything worked perfectly for years!
    2. I have the 2-step authentication deactivated  on my google account so it cannot be this one.
    3. On desktop everything works just fine, on iPad everything is OK with Exchange account added (after Google removed support for Exchange account access I CAN ONLY HAVE ONE DEVICE with Google Exchange account, so doing the same on the iPhone does not work!)
    4. Tried to remove and add the account again - no results.
    5. Tried to remove and add as Google, as Exchange, as Other account - I get calendar but no mail!!!
    6. Tried to reboot between remove/add accounts - no results.
    7. Tried to ("reset settings") reset the device - no results.
    8. Tried to add as POP account and I it worked - I get mail but I do not need POP as I am using zounds of mail with labels and need to be working on an IMAP account
    9. To make things even more complicated...I have another account which works perfectly!!!!!
    Anyone out there having a clue?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • Can see only one photo per page. How to revert to multiple images per page?

    First noticed on my iMac and now on my Macbook (10.4.9)--I'm no longer seeing a month's worth of photos on a single page. Only one photo per page, sometimes with miniature ones in the top border. I thought it was simply an inadvertent click on by part and easily corrected. But all attempts on both computers and reading of Help index haven't led to restoration of an entire page of photos and elimination of the annoyance. I'm wondering now if something I downloaded might have altered iPhoto program itself, making it impossible to view large numbers of photos at the same time. Any suggestions appreciated.

    Cap,
    This view, with the one photo big and the thumbnail strip across the top, is what happens when you double-click a photo with "Edit in: Main Window" set in the Preferences. There should be a button visible that says either Done or Return, to exit edit mode and return you to the library. If you still see only one photo, use the size slider in the lower right corner to reduce the photo size and get more thumbnails on the page.
    If, for some reason, you can't exit the edit mode, you may have a corrupt preference file. Quit iPhoto. Use the Finder to navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist and move that file to the Trash. Launch iPhoto, and you should be returned to the main viewing mode. You'll have to go in the Preferences and reset them to your liking.
    Regards.

  • Can I switch between Illustrator and Photoshop? (I am subscribing to only one product per month)

    Can I switch between Illustrator and Photoshop? (I am subscribing to only one product per month)

    Absolutely. Just change the sim card and the APN details in the settings. You can do this either manually if you know them or just sync with iTunes after changing the sim and the details will sync. Once you have done it once for each network the device seems to remember the details.

  • I write a mail and send it but when there is only one word per line. What do I wrong?

    Did you check the HTML code of that message to see if tags like "span" or "p" or "div" were added or other CSS code to limit the width?

  • Filtered the data to get only one data per day

    Hi,
    From the excel file below I have Power (from Hg Lamp) vs date.
    I would like to filtered the data to have only one data per day. So when there are many data for one day, I want the data with Max Power (and delete the others).
    In the test vi below I filtered data by compared the data 1 by 1. So I reduced the number of data but I still have date with many data.
    I would like to count the number of data per days and keep the data with max power, but I don't know how to do it.
    If you have any ideas...
    Thanks

  • I want to bcc myself when sending mail from one account but not another. When I check "automatically bcc myself", it bcc's me from both accounts.  Can I set this to work with only one account?

    I have two mail accounts on my Mac.  I want one account to bcc me when I send emails from that account.  I checked "automatically bcc myself" under mail>preferences>composing, but both accounts bcc me when sending mail.  Can I set this to only bcc myself from one specific email account? Thanks.

    It does not make sense that your ssh does not have a dash capital Y (-Y) option. It is in "man ssh", and my 10.6.6 has the -Y option, and I've had a -Y option since at least Tiger (10.4) days.
    My ssh is in /usr/bin/ssh
    I'm not very good at X11 issues, so I'm just throwing ideas out there.
    Does your broken account have a $HOME/.ssh/config file, and if so, what is in it?
    Does the broken account have any $HOME/.x* or $HOME/.X* files that X11 might be reading to configure your X11 behavior differently from the new test account?
    $HOME/.Xauthority
    $HOME/.Xdefaults-<hostname>
    $HOME/.Xresources
    $HOME/.ICEauthority
    $HOME/.keymap.km
    The above are a few names I found looking through "man X"
    While I'm thinking about it, I assume that when going to the server, you are using the exact same user account on the server, so that you have a constant at least at that end.
    Have you tried trashing your
    $HOME/Library/Preferences/org.x.X11.plist
    file, to see if that is affecting the broken account?
    Again, I am just throwing out ideas to see if anything sticks.

  • Finder flashes and disappears at top.  Computer dead on only one account.

    My iMac G4 (800 mhz) running the latest update/version of Tiger is suddenly acting up on one account only. On other accounts, no problem. On the problem account, the finder bar appears and disappears about every second. I can start to open applications (Word, Safari, etc.), but they close before fully opening. No recent changes to the computer and only safe internet surfing (to the best of my knowledge).
    My 12-year-old son's homework program is on the account in turmoil. Help, please! Thank you...

    If you don't mind using the Terminal you can get into any account using super user commands. The slickest, and most dangerous way, is to kill Finder and relaunch it as root. The safest way is to launch Terminal from /Applications/Utilities. Next you want to go into the other user's Prefs folder, so type this and hit the Return key:
    sudo -s
    give your admin password, which is not echoed to the screen, and hit the Return key again. Your regular user name will be changed to root. You can now do whatever you please. Navigate to the other account's Prefs folder:
    cd /Users/otheraccount/Library/Preferences
    hit the Return key, then type ls and hit Return to see a list of all the Preferences. Here's a sample of me accessing that folder in my test account (short name is revelator) and asking for a list of the files:
    Tiger:~ francine$ sudo -s
    Tiger:~ root# cd /Users/revelator/Library/Preferences
    Tiger:/Users/revelator/Library/Preferences root# ls
    From the list of files you can then copy of the name of what you want to remove and paste it in the remove command or type it:
    Tiger:/Users/revelator/Library/Preferences root# rm com.apple.finder.plist
    After you finish removing the files type
    exit
    and hit Return.

  • Permit only one access per user on guest portal Cisco ISE

    Hi,
    Could you please help me to figure it out if it´s possible to create a guest account on cisco ISE which permit only one concurrent access?
    We don't want to have multiple devices registering with the same account, just one different account for each device.
    Thanks,

    Hi Gino,
    You  can restrict guests to having only one device connected to the network  at a time. When guests attempt to connect with a second device, the  currently-connected device is automatically disconnected from the  network.
    This is a global setting affecting all Guest portals.
    Step 1 Choose Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings > Guest > Portal Policy.
    Step 2 Check the Allow only one guest session per user option.
    Step 3 Click Save.

  • HT1203 Two iTunes libraries, only one account!

    My iTunes library on my PC is somehow different from my MAC library. How can this happen with only one iTunes account? How can I merge them?

    1. The contents of the library are stored on the computers and are separate from what's recorded as associated with your Apple ID on Apple's servers.
    2. Move the song files from one computer to the other.

  • Gmail accounts added to iphone. only one account will work.

    I have a new iphone5. I have 2 gmail accounts. I can only add one account but it will not accept my other account either by itself or with the other account. the second account that won't be accepted is protected by the google verification code. Any ideas?

    Have you visited Google's website regarding how to create and access a 2nd Gmail account with an iOS device that is protected by the Google verification code?

  • IPod skipping iTMS songs - but only one account

    Hi,
    I'm not sure what my iPod is exactly. It's a 40GB mono screen iPod, about five years old. I thought that made it a 'classic' but perhaps not... anyway.
    Since I updated iTunes last, the update deauthorised my accounts on my MacBook. One of these was my current account and I've got that up and running again fine. The second one was an old account from when I was on AOL which the nice Apple people kindly helped me convert into an Apple ID account and that, too, is now running again on my MacBook.
    The weird thing is that that account won't play on my iPod. It just skips through all those songs.
    It will however play them if I connect my iPod to my MacBook and play through the MacBook speakers. I've tried authorising it but it says my accounts are already authorised and anyway, I don't think that's quite how you do it on an iPod.
    I'm sure it's something fairly simple but it's getting frustrating now.
    I have tried doing a hard reset on the iPod, holding down Menu and the centre button but it still skips through songs on this one account.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Roaming: Heck! I think you are right. I'm not at home right now to check so I think I can check on that only through itunes. But, as I now recall, this happened to me before. These are all Christmas songs and I set them to skip after Christmas so "by artist" they are not included. The 158 are tracks added since last year and I forgot to set. Ugh!
    Thanks for the tip and I'll update tonight once I confirm.
