Should I have the same admin account name on multiple computers

Currently I have a Macbook with an admin account plus 2 user accounts. When get a 2nd macbook, should I use the same admin name on the 2nd computer? I was thinking of making all admin account names the same for multiple macbooks, time machine, network etc. Maybe it doesn't really matter and it just means remembering multiple login names and passwords. On a related question, should the same account name be used on multiple computers. This would create a home directory on each computer with the same name. Would it be best to keep seperate names? I am refering to computer accounts, not itunes or app store accounts.

It doesn't really matter, but my vote is for different Admin names and passwords and for different computer/disk names.
The first one is for increased security (if someone breaks your password on one, they won't have access to the other). The second one is to easilly distinguish the different macs and disks in a file sharing, network browsing and syncing situations.

Why is the reason you want a different apple id on them? Need more details to make sure we don't accidently set up the self destruct feature and destory the planet.

How can I add my daughter to Find my friends when we have the same itunes account and that's how they make us log in?

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

LMDB - SLD "Source and target system have the same object server name"

Hi,
the system is a SM7.1 SP1
For some reason (Object-Server-Name changed), the job that syncs the sld and lmdb cancels...
I set the LMDB-Object-Server-Name to its original Name...
Now i've deleted the sync-config in the solman_setup and try to start a new sync, but i get the following error, when i try to configure the source-system:
'Source and target system have the same object server name: CISM318'
But the names are different: 'SM3' (LMDB) and 'CISM318' (SLD)
Any suggestions ?
best regards
Christoph

problem solved...
Apparently the sync needs some hours to finish a object-server-name-change...

Two R3 servers have the same logical system name?

Can two R3 servers have the same logical system name present in the same network? We plan to clone our production server and let the clone reside in the same network. The clone is identical with the production server with the same SID, hostname, logical system name, but different IP address.

Two classes have the same XML type name??? Please, help...

Hello!
I have a simple web service class. I generated the ws server-side classes using wsgen.
I created a jar file from the generated code.
Then :
Endpoint endPoint = Endpoint.create(
new WebServicesUnitImpl()
String wsFinalName = "http://localhost:9999/akarmi";
endPoint.publish( wsFinalName );
The web service started fine.
Then called wsimport, and the generated classes have been placed into a jar file.
Then called the code like this:
WebServicesUnitImplService service = new WebServicesUnitImplService();
WebServicesUnitImpl unit = service.getWebServicesUnitImplPort();
unit.serviceXXX();
but the code doesn't work at all, resulting this error message:
Two classes have the same XML type name "{http://ws.components.core.ilogique.vii.com/}getMessages". Use @XmlType.name and @XmlType.namespace to assign different names to them.
     this problem is related to the following location:

I have this error report on all generated class file! How can i fix this?
What is the main problem? The SE usage? I copied the lates jax-ws jars into endorsed lib resulting the same.
Any help is appreciate.

I would like to know is there any solution to fix the above issue or any other ways to create XSDs and marshaling/unmarshalling(like MOXy..etc)?
It would be great if i can get the solution from any one....May thanks in advance.

I don't remember my password and one of the security questions for my account. I also don't have the same email account now as i did when I signed up. Help?

I don't remember my password and one of the security questions for my account. I also don't have the same email account now as i did when I signed up.
I want to figure out my old password and/or change the new email to my current one.
thanks

You can try getting the password reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com
If you can't then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the password and your questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address to your account for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

while ago i purchase Documents to go. I want to use this software in my new computer. I do not have the same email account, and i want to download this software, what can i do to solve my problem?

As long as the Apple ID was not an Apple domain, such as @mac.com or @me.com, you can update the ID to a new email account.

I moved my iTunes library to an external hard drive. It re installed itself on the PC and there is now no more room. I cannot sync with the external version. My wife has is a user on the same computer and we have the same iTunes account. Can I uninstall

I moved my iTunes library to an external hard drive due to lack of space on the PC. I uninstalled it from the PC at the time to increase space. My wife is a user on the computer and shares the same apple account. I discovered that iTunes was back on the PC hard drive when I tried to sync my iphone and it would not for lack of space on the PC. If I uninstall I tunes from the PC where I am the user will it affect my wife's itune account which is still on the PC?

Close iTunes. Click the icon to start it, then press and hold down the left shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Choose the iTunes folder on your external drive. That should bring back all your playlists, ratings, play counts etc. You may have to settle for removing and reloading the media onto the device again. That's not too bad, but what you don't want to have happen is your apps being removed and reloaded as then you can lose settings and data. If that looks likely backup and then restore the device rather than sync it.
If for some reason rebuilding the library the way you did has moved files around then the restored library may have trouble finding things. If so post back and I'll explain what to do...

HT201272 Anyone know how I can figure out which of my family's 5 Apple devices was used to purchase something from iTunes ?   We all have the same apple account/ID.   Thanks!

Anyone know how I can figure out which of my family's 5 Apple devices was used to purchase a specific song via iTunes ?   We all have the same Apple ID/account which makes it tricky... Thanks!

What I was afraid of.   Thanks.   Seems like someone at Apple should be figuring this out. Would be nice to link each purchase to a specific device.
That would not be practical or probably even possible since one of the features of recent versions of iTunes and the iTunes Store is to allow new purchases to be automatically downloaded to every device registered to your Apple ID when something is purchased. If you want purchases linked to specific devices, each user should have his or her own iTunes Store account.

My husband and I have the same apple account. How do I make two accounts?

My husband and I each have i-phone4gs and i-pad iOS 5.0.1
We initially set them up on the same apple account, but now would like to have two separate accounts and two separate i-cloud accounts. How do we make this happen. We don't want each other's i-cloud back-ups.

Same way you set up the original one - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731.
