Separate User Accounts on 2nd internal HD

Guys, I have 2 internal HD's. 1 Boot Drive and 1 Media Drive.
I want to use the Boot drive to only store Apps and the Media Drive to store everything else.
Thing is I have a separate user account for my wife as we like to keep our work totally in different places. When stored on the Boot Drive this works fine.
But when stored on the 2nd HD (Media Drive) we both have access to each others files. Is there a way to prevent this? So when I log on my account I have access to only my files. And when wifey logs onto her account she has access to only her files.
Thanks

Nope, I'm out of ideas, since I don't share stuff on my computer; however, you can check the sharing stuff in the Help files or in the e-book: Take Control of Sharing Files in Leopard.

  • We are having sync issues when trying to use separate user accounts and Apple ID's on the same iMac. What can we do?

    My wife and I share an iMac and we each sync to it using separate user accounts and separate Apple IDs. She has an iPad 2 and I have an iPhone 4. We upgraded the mac to Lion and the iphone to OS 5. Now itunes only recognizes my apple id no matter which user is logged in. Now if I download the Home Depot app to my phone it automatically gets pushed to my wife's iPad, which she does not want. We want to keep things separate. How can we do this?

    You can sync devices with the same iCloud ID, not seperate ones.
    If she has a different login on your Mac, make sure she has her own ID defined in System Prefs > iCloud

  • Separate user accounts after already used 2 ipod nanos in admin account

    My daughter purchased a nano a month ago and we downloaded the software. (Note: The kids already had their own user accounts before I downloaded the software.) When she set up her music in the library and plugged her ipod in she was in my admin account. This week my son purchased his own nano and I couldn't figure out how to get them separate libraries, so we had them do separate playlist, but that was kind of a pain. I checked the discussions and found out that if they had separate user accounts they could have separate libraries. I asked someone about how to be able to set up separate iTunes libraries for each person and they said to open iTunes in their accounts and make sure that their libraries are directed to different files (i.e., each of their names) which they were. After they downloaded all their music they wanted in their separate libraries, they plugged their ipod into the USB, but it didn't recognize it. The ipod category in the source file does not show up and the ipod button that usually shows up in the bottom right hand corner doesn't even show up. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the ipods to recognize their new accounts in the separate user accounts?

    Easiest is prob to restart the PC and log on as one kid, update one iPod.
    Then totally log off that account and log on as the other kid, update other iPod.
    There is a program, iTunesHelper.exe that runs in the background. It has to be running under the userID trying to update the iPod.
    You can see what I mean if you go to Task Manager
    (ctl-alt-del in case you don't know)
    Click on the Process tab
    Click on the imageName column to sort alphabetically
    Make sure to check show processes from all users.
    If iTunesHelper.exe is running under Kid1 account, then Kid2 account cannot update iPod.
    It all goes back to iTunes not supporting fast user switching....prob more than you wanted to know!
    Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported

  • My wife and I have separate user accounts but want to share our Photos libraries or merge them as one.  How do I do this?

    My wife and I just bought an MBP (mid-2014 version) with Retina display and have separate user accounts with Admin. privileges.
    We want to share our Photos libraries or merge them as one.  How do we do this?  IS it better to just have one account instead?

    You cannot merge two separate libraries across user accounts. Photos does not have the function of merging different Photos.library files. If you have Aperture then you can merge the two before migrating over to Photos.

  • I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

    I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

    They can't.  Which came first - the chicken or the egg?  Actually, that's a bad comparison but a sync must come first.
    The library is actually part of iTunes and it contains everything.  iTunes is then configured so that you (or they) determine which portion of everything will be synced to each iPod (identified by a unique name, see below for an example of an iPod and an iPad).  iTunes can't make that decision until AFTER it knows which iPods exist.
    By the way, I (you, they) can very easily change the name of each device to whatever I (you, they) wish to call it.

    If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
    If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

  • My daughter and I have separate iCloud accounts set up on out desktop PCs and our iPhones and iPads. We want to share the usage of a Win 8 laptop and will log in using using separate user accounts. Is it possible to set up our own iCloud accounts?

    My daughter and I have separate iCloud accounts set up on out desktop PCs and our iPhones and iPads. We want to share the usage of a Win 8 laptop and will log in using using separate user accounts. Is it possible to set up our own iCloud accounts in each of those separate user accounts?

    No it is not possible.  Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

  • Separate user account

    Separate user account for Management/Intelligent Agent      
    For Unix systems, create a unique user account for the management/Intelligent Agent process in order to differentiate accountability and file access controls. The agent database accounts must be separated. Separate accounts are not recommended for Windows environments.

    The account that will own the OMS would preferably be the user oracle.
    Actually the same goes for the Agent. Yes it is possible to have a different user be the owner of the Agent software, but I would not recommend this. If not necessary why complicating things. If both the OMS and OMA are owned by the same user, maintaining and management of these components is most simple.

  • How to move old e-mail from iMac to shared MacMini - separate user accounts?

    My wife and I share a new MacMini.  We each have separate user accounts.  She would like her old e-mail messages moved from her old iMac to the MacMini.  I believe they are in her old iMac's USER--LIBRARY--MAIL  directory.  Is this right?   Do I just copy these files and paste them in the same directory in the MacMini?
    Also does anyone know how to move her old Keychain files on her old iMac to her user account on the macmini?
    Thanks for the help.   -Bruce

    There are two issues when I do so. First of all I have "ghost" accounts who do not show up in my e-mail preferences but keep on showing up randomly. Secondly I cannot remove "other accounts" in Mail>Preferences I will get the following error message: The account "XXXX.XXXX.Com"  is shared using iCloud. You can remove this account from iCloud in Internet Accounts.
    And in iCloud internet accounts the particular account will not be visible.

  • Separate User accounts on iPad 4

    On our iPad 4 email acounts are shared. When you tap the email icon it opens up both our email accounts. Can we create separate accounts like we do on our p.c.

    You can have multiple email accounts but not that open in separate versions of the mail app. iPads are single user devices, they do not have the capability to run separate user accounts.

  • One iTunes account with 2 separate user accounts?

    I'm trying to figure out how to set up my daughter since we're upgrading her from an iPod Touch to an iPhone minus the phone (my hubby got a new iPhone 4S and she's getting his 3GS but it's got no phone contract so it works like a larger, more souped up iPod Touch!)
    I initially wanted to start her on her own iTunes account from now on to make it clean and get her going on iCloud with her own stuff.  But, from what I've read, there may be an advantage to keeping her on my iTunes account for now since she won't really be making any independent purchases without my approval.  That said, I'm not exactly crazy about her syncing to my iTunes library all the time - and I definitely don't want her photo stream!
    Is there a way to establish TWO user accounts on my iMac which would lead to TWO iTunes and iPhoto libraries (I think?) but use ONE iTunes account for both of them?
    I've read through the help but most seems to be going the other direction - (2 itunes accounts, 1 library).
    Thanks for the help -

    You can't split the accounts. Purchased items stay authorized with the account it was purchased on. Really, the only thing you can do is keep your libraries separate and use them that way, or create an account for her, put your purchases in her account and authorize her device(s) to use your apple ID. I've done that with my library; my boyfriend and I share the same library with two different accounts and each of our devices are authorized to play one anothers purchases.
    Sorry there's no better way I can think of. I'd like to split our libraries.... I wish Apple would create a feature keeping in mind that people buy new PCs and that family members move and get old enough for their own account, etc. :/

  • Restored from Time Machine - Now have two separate users account

    Hello,
    I was having problems with Leopard, so Apple support told me to do an erase and install and then restore all my data from time machine. After restoring from time machine, I was asked whether I wanted to merge my user accounts (considering that they have the same name) or create separate accounts. However, the option to merge them could not be selected. So, I created a separate account and simply kept the same name for my Time Machine account but added the #1 on the end to distinguish it.
    Now I would like to merge the accounts, or delete one of the accounts while still retaining all of my data (from Time Machine). How can I go about doing this?
    Thanks.

    Log into your restored account. Be sure it has admin authority. Delete the account you created during reinstallation.

  • Can I install iTunes in separate user accounts on Windows Vista 64-bit?

    Hi,
    My wife and I use different user accounts on Windows Vista 64-bit. Before I go and mess things up on my computer, I wanted ask some questions:
    1) Has anyone has successfully installed iTunes to multiple user account?
    2) If so, has anyone successfully shared the same music root directory for 2 different iTune instances.
    I'm thinking with iTunes very tight integration with the music files (for indexing/searching, etc), that it would be bad to have add/change/delete on the same music root from 2 independent installations.
    Experience OR opinions welcome!

    ) Has anyone has successfully installed iTunes to multiple user account?
    You don't install the iTunes application more than once. Each user account in Windows will have its own iTunes library.
    If so, has anyone successfully shared the same music root directory for 2 different iTune instances.
    Many people have done so. This should help:
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    Note that iTunes has no folder-watching capability, so if you add a track in one user account, the other user will have to add that new item manually, either by using the Add To Library command or dragging the item into the iTunes window. There are a couple of potential solutions from other developers, though:

  • Can you have 2 itunes accounts on one pc using separate user accounts?

    We've bought a new PC laptop and set up two user accounts for my husband and myself. I've installed itunes and downloaded my music in my account. In my husband's user account we can set him up but he can't download music for 90 days... we've set up a new itunes library folder with a different name but this still doens't work. Has anyone found a solution to this?
    thanks :-)

    Hello anner15,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
