Set up diff users, diff libraries

I thought I knew how to do this, but how do I set up a second ipod under a different user name (with non-admin privledges) so that they can have their own library? I thought that by downloading iTunes under their user name would do it, but apparently they have to have admin privs. I did that for an experiment, but as soon as I launched iTunes it immediatley pulled in the entire main libary of 4k songs that I have...way too much for their 2Gig nano. How do I set this up so that they can populate the libary selectively?

Delete contents of library then add only what you want.
or
Leave everything there, set iPod to sync selected playlists or manual sync.

  • Can i set up diff iTunes libraries for diff users on Mac

    My husband's Mac is now becoming the family computer.  He already has an extensive iTunes library.  I want to set up my own iTunes library, separate from his.  Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the speedy response.  Do you mean setting up a user account on the Mac itself? or an account within iTunes itself.  Currently we don't have separate user accounts set up on this Mac....

  • How can i share purchased apps between 2 diff users on the same mac?

    How can I share purchased apps between 2 diff users on the same mac?

    A purchased app is associated with an Apple ID. A user with a different Apple ID cannot use the app unless they also use the same Apple ID.
    I cannot use my wife's apps nor she mine because each were purchased with different Apple IDs.

    Please help me when i update tune in message come like this, This update is not available for this Apple ID eiher because it was bought by a diffirent user or the item was refunded or cancelled. kindly advise what to do.

    Hi bu7ch,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues downloading an application update from the App Store. To troubleshoot these issue, let’s follow the steps for iTunes Store connectivity:
    First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and restart your device. Once your device has restarted, sign back in to the iTunes Store and try to download the update.

    If the above did not resolve your issue, refer to the following:

  • How do i get my library back after setting up seperate users in vista

    Hello all.  After much frustration, I have decided to turn to my piers for help. (I tried to go thru apple support but they wanted to charge me)   I have three devices that sync to my computer - my iphone, and two itouch's that belong to my daughers.  I decided that it would be a great idea to set up seperate user accounts on my computer so that our information wouldn't get messed up i.e. my contacts and calendar appointments end up on my daughers ipod.  (The one ipod was mine that i gave my daughter when i got my iphone so it was still trying to sync with my stuff even though i erased it and synced to her library.  whole other story.)  They have each had their own library that we switch when we sync.  When i set up the seperate user accounts their libraries disappeared!  I have tried moving the .itl file and the .xml file to the public folder (and many other locations) and changing itunes media location in itunes but i get nothing.  When i try to just click and open those files, they come up empty.  where did it all go? Could it be because this is a first generation itouch running iOS 3.1.3?  I have not tried my other daughters new ipod because she would freak if i messed up all her stuff.   I have not been able to sync their devices since I created the seperate user accounts because I'm afraid they will lose everything.  I apologize because i know just enough to be dangerous and i hope i have not messed things up totally.  Is there any hope that i will be able to retrieve their libraries - wherever they went?  thank you in advance for you help and patience. 

    This is one of the many reasons that always maintaining a backup copy is basic.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to do so ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:
    File>Transfer Purchases
    When you buy from itunes you get one download only. it is your responsibility to backup your music, and all other info/data/pics/docs/etc.

  • How do I set up multiple users with different configurations

    I have a Mac Pro that is shared by multiple users. Some edit using Avid Media Composer 6.0, and some edit using Final Cut Pro 7. Our client monitor is connected using a Matrox MX02 Mini. When I install the latest drivers for the Matrox MX02, I can use the client monitor with Media Composer, but not Final Cut Pro 7. When I back-rev the drivers to support Final Cut Pro 7, I can't use the MX02 in Media Composer.
    Is there a way to set up two users -- one for Avid editing and one for Final Cut editing -- that will each load different sets of drivers?
    Thanks!

    Not in one boot system. The only way I can think of doing what you want is to dual-boot - ie, either partition a single drive with two volumes, one for each configuration, or, if you can, use separate physical drives. The Matrox drivers are loaded at the system level, not the user level.
    If you have a spare drive, you would just clone your system across using Carbon Copy Cloner / SuperDuper, then boot to the second system and adjust the drivers as necessary.

  • Problems Setting Up Developer Users

    I am having a problem setting up developer users and I am trying to determine if I am missing a step or if there is a configuration problem on my staging and production systems.
    What I want to do should be very simple. I want to create a user that can create an application and see the information under the "Application" tab in the Navigator.
    I have created the user using the following steps on 3.0.9.82 for Unix:
    1. Create the user
    2. Make the user a full administrator (rather than end user)
    3. Make the user a member of the portal_developers group
    4. Make the user's default group the portal_developers group
    However, when I do this the user does not see the information under the
    "Application" tab. The only way I can get the user to see the info under the
    "Application" tab is to make him a member of the Portal_administrators
    and/or DBA group. Both my staging and production boxes have the same result.
    Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on what might be happening?

    Thank you- I have read through that thread and can see some resonance with my issue.
    My AOL emails work VERY fast with BB, in fact almost simultaneously received on PC & Torch " ping ping!"
    This issue only raised its ugly head when I had 2 Torches replaced by my insurers. 
    Whilst the claim was in process I used a new Curve, loaded from backup on PC to keep emails going and of course phone & web facilities. ( I use the BB to power internet via bluetooth to my PC / laptop when living on a remote island with no phone lines or power supplies)  All was fine. Swapping email accounts took a few minutes with the usual password confirmations for each AOL screenname etc. 
    Then the new Torches came back from insurers, and I tried to swap devices. Phoning & texting is fine. Al data and contacts swap over fine.
    SETUP email accounts.............stymied every time. It says repeatedly that my user name/password is invalid etc etc etc
    Have tried security wipes. Have tried setting up new BB ID & passwords on PC website. All is OK until I try to setup emails on the Torches.  This has used up ridiculous amounts of time- all wasted.
    I love the BB phones and the fast email push......in fact I recently bought a new Sony Xperia Z1 but sent it back because of wifi coverage meant no emails on that superb phone for lots of the time.
    Good old BB I said..........I always get emails wherever I am. ( Rural Scotland has very patchy radio & wifi coverage)  
    Was about to purchase new Z10s just to get a bigger screen, but now I am averse to buying ANY BB phone again because this present mess means I may never get emails set up again.  How nuts is that?
    Many thanks for all help & suggestions..........boy do I need them!!
    Kind wishes from West of Scotland

  • How to Set up the User POV in Web Analysis report

    Hi , I am new to create the Hyperion Web Analysis report.
    I am trying to set up the user POV. I have followed the document and did the below steps.
    1. I went to User preference -> OLAP Server -->checked the BOX "Save Filters only for POV".
    2. selected the layout and in options checked the Use user POV.
    after that I have opened the report in HTML. nothing got prompted.
    When I opened the Financial report, It will prompt user to select the year, period, entity, etc... I need the same way in Web Analysis also.
    I have selected Accounts in rows, Entity, Year, Period in columns , rest all i kept in Filters.
    Could some one please help me how user can get prompted to select the members from dimensions.
    Thanks

    What you have in Webanalysis is POV and PV
    Applying Point of View (POV)
    Selecting Personal Variables
    You can also look at Oracle - Hyperion Labs......: WebAnalysis - how to show the current user's report when he logs in to see how PV can be leveraged.
    There is no prompt option in WebAnalysis

  • Setting up multiple users

    Does Yosemite offer any new options for setting up multiple users on one computer akin to family sharing with separate ID's for each user?
    Thanks.

    Sure, just create user accounts for each user on the Mac. (System Preferences>Users and Groups)

  • Can you set up multiple user accounts on one laptop?

    can you set up multiple user accounts on one laptop?

    Of course.
    And instructions can depend on which OS X is installed.
    For v10.7 Lion > OS X Lion: Create a new user account
    For v10.8 Mountain Lion > OS X Mountain Lion: Create a new user account
    When you post for help, please state which OS X is installed.

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

  • I have set up two users, one for myself and one for children.  The computer automatically logs in for the children with no password required.  When the children go to spotlight and type in a search criteria all of my files show up.  How do I prevent this?

    I have set up two users, one for myself and one for children.  The computer automatically logs in for the children with no password required.  When the children go to spotlight and type in a search criteria all of my files show and open up.  How do I prevent this?

    Log in to your account, and move all your files to your home folder. No other users should be able to access them there and they won't show up with a Spotlight search.
    Make sure your kids' account(s) do not have admin privileges.
