Problems with multiple users in XP

Problem: Using Windows XP...Previously had two separate ITunes for 2 different users with different music, etc. Only 1 Ipod (a nano) was used. Just upgraded ITunes to 7.0.2 and added a new Ipod (a mini)to the computer under the administrator account. The update went well but ITunes consolidated both sets of songs into one user. If I open it under one account it works fine. When I try to open ITunes under the other user, instead of opening it tries to reinstall ITunes and then gives me an error because that user does not have administrative privileges. Nothing I've tried seems to work. Help!

Unfortunately, PSA SE [the free version] has this limitation as the catalogue is fixed and located some where in the Docs&Settings area for the current user. The paid-for version [PSA 2] and its successors [PSE 3/4] are much more flexible.

  • Ethernet Problem with Multiple users on same Mac

    Hi, sorry i advance for my english. I am writing from italy.
    I have an imAc with 2 users profiles on it. one profile is administratoe, and the oter a standard user.
    I also have a time capsule configured to connect to my network with the ethernet cable. the cable is plugged in the wan pot, the configuration is "bridged" and i use as a router a linksys wifi router.
    well. suppsung that i am logging in with one of my users and access to time capsule wirelessly, it shows me the disk content.
    i then swith to the other user without logging off the first one and then access time capsule where i see the same folfder and i can access it. so everything works fine.
    in the case i connect my mac with ethernet (disabling airort) to my linksys router, ifuser 1mounts time capsule, user 2 can't access it if user 1 does not unmount.
    why so?
    i need to switch from user 1 to user 2 without logging off, and i don't understand why it works wirless and not with ethernet..

    In fact, all my page beans are in REQUEST scope...
    The only bean in Application scope is the standard applicationBean created by Creator itself.
    We use one Bean in session scope which contains another class.
    I will try to explain our common process:
    - when logging into the app, the session Bean stores user data (rights for using app,...);
    - when navigating in the app, the user can search data, modify them and create one (if he has the right to do it);
    - to define the screen, we use a lot the beforeRenderResponse();
    - when viewing a data, the user can choose to modify it, so depending on the action, the page is in "CONSULT" mode or "MODIFY" mode. In the second one, he can display new gridPanel (as a subform) to populate datatable.
    The problem is obvious while using this grid: my grid can disappear if someone else has validated his form before me and if my page goes trough the beforeRender of my page.
    It is not really clear. If needed, i can give access to our application to show the problem (and msn adress too to talk about it).
    Thank you

  • Urgent - problem with multiple users on same page

    Hi all,
    I have got an big problem with my app:
    when several users are using the same page, the action launched by USER_A affects the page displayed and used for USER_B.
    If there is only one user using the page, there is no problem at all.
    The webapp is deployed on Tomcat or JBoss and the problem remains the same on both.
    Thank you for your help.

  • CS2 Problems with multiple user accounts on 1 machine

    I have been having this problem since I first installed CS2 in my Mac lab. I have 8 G5's and I have loaded the exact same software (all licensed of course) on all 8 machines, in the same order. The problem occurs when trying to use CS2 in a second user account on the machines.
    All software works fine for the original admin account. Then when I try to open and use in a second account I get crashes and errors, nothing consistent. AND some computers work just fine. HUH? I have called Apple and they suggested repairing permissions, that doesn't work.
    I have tried uninstall and reinstall. I have tried making the second user an admin user. I have tried 2nd and 3rd users. I have tried a total system reinstall. I have tried changing the order in which I install. I have tried installing both before and after creation of the second account.
    It doesn't seem to matter. On some machines it works, on others it doesn't. The only account the software will work in is the original user account.
    The reason this matters is it is a student lab. I have implemented a server and students can't use the software through their server accounts either. Currently the server is a 40lb paperweight until this problem is fixed.
    Any clue?
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    This has to do with permissions in the non admin accounts. A solution was posted a while back you could do a search or somebody will pop in with the solution soon.

  • Problem with multiple users sharing a single library

    We have a family iMac. I am the only one with Admin privileges. I want to share my iTunes music folder with the other users so we don't end up replicating all the MP3 files. I put the music folder in my Public directory and the other users can see it fine. However, when my daughter bought a song from the iTunes store, we got a "insufficient privileges" error message. I checked and confirmed that she has Read/Write access to my public folder, and to the iTunes Music folder under it - I even tried "Applying to All Enclosed Items". It appears that despite this, she is blcoked from creating a new file or directory in my Public folder. When I changed the setting on her iTunes to point to a directory in her User space, the iTunes purchase went through fine. But now her library is split between what's in my Public folder and what's in her Music/iTunes folder.
    Is there a way to fix this so we can continue to use a single shared location for all MPS files? Someone suggested that I use my Shared folder instead; I don't know if that's a better or worse option.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    can you share across two computers and both access the same iTunes library and listen to music from that library at the same time?

  • In trying to share music with multiple user accounts on one comp, I quit itunes, located my itunes media folder, moved it to a publicly accessible location. Problem is it didn't work and now I can't get it all back to the way it was.

    In trying to share music with multiple users on one computer, I followed the directions on "iTunes:How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203). I did something wrong because i lost iTunes
    Tried to put files back, but it is not the same. Plugged in my ipod and it is not recognizing my computer.
    Can someone tell me where iTunes should be, and what sub files should be included with it. Thanks!

    If you are seeing the "Connect to iTunes" logo, then your device is in Recovery Mode, and you will need to restore it:

  • Sharing iTunes on a single computer with multiple users

    Greetings,
    I have been troubleshooting a problem sharing iTunes on a single computer with multiple users that cropped up a few weeks ago and have not had very good luck.
    Several months ago I successfully set up my wife’s G4 Laptop (PowerPC processor) so that we could share iTunes on that computer. I had just gotten her an “My Book” external hard drive (Western Digital). The iTunes Library will go on this new unit because the internal drive was running out of room. I successfully set the privileges, moved the entire library onto a “Share” directory and everything worked fine.
    In this way, when I got a new CD I could add it to iTunes (under my login, administrator privileges) and she could access it (under her login) to listen to while working on the computer or using her iPod. This arrangement went well for quite awhile.
    About a month and a half ago, when I tried to launch iTunes from my login I received this message:
    “The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.”
    I think the permissions must have changed when there was an update because my wife is pretty careful about what she does on her computer. Updates were the only thing I could think of that had changed since I had set her computer up. I also noticed that some of the iTunes defaults were different from the last time I had used it to add a CD.
    So, I did some reading and went back through the motions of trying to set it up again. I re-formatted the My Book hard drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) added the files back to the external, reset permissions on the external hard drive. (Owners: System, Access: read and write - Group: wheel, Access: read and write – Others: read and write).
    When I now launch iTunes under my login I get this message:
    “The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.”
    What gives? I am the original owner and have always had top-level privileges.
    Can someone point me to any articles or clues as to how I need to set-up iTunes on a single computer to be shared by more than one user? Also, I am considering upgrading to the newer system in a few weeks, so if a solution for OS X 10.5 is available, that would work too.
    Tim

    Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.

  • Multiple Macs with multiple user accounts

    I have a Mac computer connected to airport and use Time Machine for backups. This works well.
    I have now purchased a second Mac and would like to include this second Mac so that I can move between Macs and work. There does not appear to be any mechanism to allow this.

    After searching the web and the discussion here, here's my minimal impact solution for multiple Macs with multiple users in a household:
    1) Set up Mac1 for myself only
    2) Set up Mac2 for the wife and kid
    3) Set up each Mac to backup to the Airport base station using Time Machine (this would create two separate backups on the Airport base station's drive, which from what I've read has its own problems)
    4) On Mac1 setup "empty user accounts" for the wife and kid. These will not have any files in them - just an access mechanism. If they want to access their files, they can use Time Machine's "The Browse Other Backup Disks Option" to get their file from Mac2, work on it and then drop it in the Shared Folder. Next time they are on Mac2, remember to copy the updated/created file from the Shared Folder into their Mac2 user account. If possible, get Time Machine to not backup the "empty user accounts".
    5) Do the same for me on Mac2.
    Not the most elegant solution, but until Apple get off their backside and make this seamless, I can't think of anything else :-( .
    P.S. iCloud is not a soluton since it costs hundreds of dollars a year, uses up intenet data allowance and is slow.

  • Mac OS 9 auto login with multiple users

    Is there a way to have a mac running Mac OS 9 set up with multiple users autologin to one of the accounts?
    Ok, since I know people will ask why do you want to do that. I have an old mac and found my old XTension home automation software. I want to make this machine a dedicated home lighting controller. (I have a new mac mini doing this in my house, but I wanted to play with the old machine for fun). Now, I have multiple users set up and one account for home automation that has the panel version of the finder and the only application visible is XTension. This all works great.
    If the power goes out, I want the machine to reboot into this home automation account automatically. I also want to have the machine power cycle once a week just to keep from any memory problems etc.
    Oops, sorry, i just realized there is another section for OS 9.x.

    If you are using this for just Home Automation, why not turn off the "Multiple Users" add-ons and have it revert to a single-user system. Look at the "Multiple Users" Control Panel.

  • Problem with multiple requests

    I have a problem with the users submitting multiple requests simultaneously.
    Let me put it this way:
    1. User is on a tabbed panel with clear and search buttons.
    2. User clicks on 'clear' button from any tab (request one). On successful completion, it should reset and load tab one.
    3. Before the tab one loads, user again clicks (request two) on a different tab two. (Tabbed panel - server side tab switch)
    4. As a result, tab two loads. Now when I click on tab one, the default values are not getting set.
    Now when I look at my phase listener logs:
    Processing new  Request!
    St - RESTORE_VIEW 1
    En - RESTORE_VIEW 1

    Done with Request!Looking above its very clear that request two begins before the completion of render response phase of request one. I guess thats where the problem lies and users are not really interested in solution provided by me to use javascript and freeze the page until request one completes.
    I would like to know if it is possible to hold a second request in the phase listener until the first request gets completed. Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thus, you want to keep user/session-specific requests in a synchronized queue? You could put a lock in the HttpSession on start of request and remove it on end of request and synchronize the requests on that lock. You can use a Filter for this which is mapped on FacesServlet.
    It's all theory and I've never done it, so I can't give a "safe" code example out of head. But googling using the terms "synchronized, lock, httpsession" gives lot of the same ideas, some with examples, under each this article: [http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-jtp09238.html].

  • Iphoto/preview crashing with multiple user accounts

    Hi everybody,
    I'm stuck for a while now with my iMac and parental controlled user accounts.
    It's for a few months now iPhoto and Preview keep crashing at starting up in these other accounts.
    All works fine in my own administrator account. I'll copy a the first part of the crash state, maybe that will help.
    I think the problem started with connecting a photocamera (Sony W125) directly to the computer.
    It seems that viewing pictures (PDF/iphoto) is corrupted in this way.
    I'm working on an late 2011 iMac 2,5 Ghz Intel Core i5 /12GB 1333 / OSX 10.7.5
    Allready done:
    removed plists
    repaired permissions
    re-installed Lion
    re-installed iPhoto
    give full permissions too all other accounts (checking out parental control i.o.w.)
    made a new user acount with full permissions except administrator function (also crashes of iPhoto)
    tried some searching in Root-account but where afraid to damage stuff.
    looked around on the web but I couldn't find people with the same problem
    Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

  • New Mac User: iTunes Auth with multiple user accounts

    With a Mac with multiple user accounts, does EACH user account need to have iTunes authorized, or is iTunes authorized for an entire mac machine?

    So then I assume that iTunes will know then if each of the computer's user accounts has a different iTunes account?
    When you authorize an iTunes account on your computer, the authorization info is stored in \Users\Shared\. When you run iTunes, it looks there to see if it can play purchases. The purchase account info is embedded into each purchased file.

    The issue that I am having is I have 1 Apple TV 2nd Gen and Windows 7 Computer with multiple user accounts.
    When I log onto my Windows user account, open up Itunes and turn on home sharing my Apple TV work perfect but if another family member switches to their Windows user account without logging me out, the home share shows up on Apple TV but it just says "Loading ... Library" and never loads.
    If we switch back to my user account, restart iTunes, everything is fine. Is there a way to keep my home share active in ATV2 across multiple user accounts? All of my video is under my account.

    You can home-share multiple libraries but only use one account at a time.
