Possible to merge separate Windows user account libraries into one?

Friend of mine has a work laptop with separate Windows accts on it - one for work, one personal. She has purchased music *with the same iTunes account*, but some songs are in the work account, some in the personal. Is it possible to rebuild the library in one account or the other to include the songs purchased on the other account? If so, how? Thanks

One method is if she has an iPod, she can plug the iPod into either library and iTunes will find the purchased tracks and ask if you want to transfer them into the current library.
Without an iPod, the files themselves can be copied out of either account's iTunes Music folder structure onto CDRs, USB thumb drive, or since it is on the same computer to a common shared folder. You can then add them to the other account's library. Since they are both authorized to the same account, they should play fine.

Combining libraries from multiple Windows User Accounts

I've had a look through several pages in this section of the forum but couldn't find a direct answer to my question...so here goes:
We have a small network of three Win XP PCs and a Buffalo NAS drive. The main house PC has three Windows user accounts: Mum, Dad & Son. Each user account has an iTunes account of its own, so three iTunes IDs and three iTunes libraries.
What we would now like to do is bring the three libraries together in to a central library that will live on the NAS drive.
The central library will be accessed by some Sonos streaming music players. I've set up MS SyncToy to copy new music files over from each of the source libraries, but I'm not sure about handling the album artwork.
Is there a better way of combining three libraries so that the albums and artwork stay together?
Any help on this would be appreciated :-)

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Or is there another forum here or elsewhere on the web where I might get a response?

2 Windows User Accounts, 2 iTunes Libraries

I have iTunes set up on one of the user accounts, but when I logged into the other Windows user account and bought music, I could not sync it to my iPod.
Is there any way to transfer those songs to the other library, or am I gonna have to shell out another 10 bucks for songs I already bought? Any help would be killer.

Hi, Super Jakelio!
Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it answers your question.

Sharing one "Email account" between two Windows "user account" in a "Global Inbox"

Context: Two "windows user accounts" on a Windows XP PC, having the same email address. The "Local folder" is placed on a "All users" directory and acounts settings specify a POP server with a retention period of 30 days.
Problem: When User B ask for reception of messages, he received all messages already read by user B. (this probably due to separate popstate.dat).
On a previous PC two years ago, we do not had this dupplicate reading.
If you have a solution, could you also cover the Windows 7 case.

I strongly suggest you get the whole profile in the same folder hierarchy before you even consider moving to windows 7.
Windows XP has Program File
Windows 7 has Program Files and Program Files (X86) your executable goes in the x86 one.
XP has applications data
Windows 7 has appdata
In windows XP Thunderbird's profile is in application data in windows 7 it is in appdata/roaming
If you open explorer the old locations appear to be there, but they will not work to locate Thunderbird's disparate parts of it's profile
And so the list goes on. Hence none of the locations you know will probably exist under windows 7 so if parts of the profile are pointing to locations that have changed, only grief awaits you.

Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.
Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?
Thanks!

What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

Windows 8.1 Mail app and Exchange 2010 EAS partnership - "Make Windows user account an Administrator" to meet security requirements?

As the title says, I have a new Windows 8.1 based device which I'm trying to connect to my Exchange 2010 box (SP3 Update Rollup 2). I currently have my iphone set up as an EAS client with no problems. I have an EAS policy on my mailbox
with the following settings surrounding passwords :
Require Password, Require Encryption, Allow Simple Password, Time without user input - 10 minutes. Allow non-provisional devices is also checked.
The Windows 8.1 device has Bitlocker enabled, which meets the encryption requirement - I know this because the 1st time I tried this it moaned about Bitlocker needing to be enabled to meet requirements, though at that time the local user account on the Windows
8.1 device was an admin level account so it never mentioned this issue, it worked normally.
Now, while using a std user account on the Windows 8.1 device and trying to connect up via EAS, it complains that my local windows user account must be an ADMIN level account to meet the security requirements...?
Anyone encountered this?

Did anyone solve this problem? I'm also struggling with this issue.
this is still a problem. I'm just hitting it now and it's not doing much for management's love of Microsoft devices.
Evidently, it has to be an admin to set the policies on the device to match the policies on the EAS. And once set, a user can be changed back.
But this is seriously not cool. Don't the "app" folks and the enterprise folks talk to each other?

Thanks for sharing this but you are talking always about Toshiba passwordthis is wrong and I think this could be a little confusing this is a workaround for windows user account password.
As far as I know there are no password set by Toshiba.
The user can set the windows user account password if necessary so this workaround describes how to delete a Windows user account password which is common for all computers with preinstalled Windows OS.
However, thanks for posting ;)

How do I maintain a single iTunes library for two separate iMac user accounts?

How do I maintain a single iTunes library for two separate iMac user accounts?...without having to manually do something every download?

Pardon me, I am brand new at using an iMac. I understand the concept but I don't know exactly how to "move" the library. I found a shared folder under users on the hard drive. If I move it, won't I have to redirect each iTunes user to the new shared location?
If I point iTunes to anything other than the music folder under that user name, it shows as a "shared library". Preferences still shows it as that users library, regardless of where the advanced gear button says it is pointing to.
Am I asking for too much to have each user control the exact same music files, apps and playlists? I just want the two different itunes sessions to mirror each other without any frequent updating or copying.
We use the same id for itunes music and apps so we could just sync all devices under one iMac user id and not use it under hers.

Hi, I have the following info that may be helpful. If it isn't then I certainly would call Microsoft or visit Microsoft.com and look for the Win 7 mobile phone info and or forum.
You can also call your carrier, which should have info on whether Flash Player is available for it.

Sharing site definitions across windows user accounts

Hello,
I'm trying to find out if there is a way to share the site definitions in dreamweaver across two different Windows user accounts. So that if one windows user makes changes to the site definition, the changes will be reflected in the other user's site definitions as well.
Thanks,
Ryan

Site definitions are usually user specific and you would normally export/import them between computers or user accounts.
What kind of repeated tweaks do you envision to the site definitions?

Which is better having many Window User Accounts for the same person, so to have many Firefoxes or have many Firefoxes under one Windows Account User?

Right now I have around 6 Window User Accounts (just for me on one computer) because I did not know that I could put more then one Firefox per account. I have to leave the tabs up when I close Firefox because if I just bookmark them I wont finish my work I was doing with those sites. Now that I know how to put multiple Firefoxes under one user account. Which would make my computer fast or does it not matter, if I put all my Firefoxes on one Window user account or have 6 Window user accounts, each with their own Firefox?
-Thanks

It is more work to switch to another Windows account then to open another Firefox instance with another profile.
If you only use the other windows accounts for using Firefox that way and not for other purposes then there is nothing against switching to only one Windows account to make it easier to manage things as backing up your personal data or copying your data between the other profiles.
So it is up to you if you want to switch to only one Windows account.
