  • Can I have two accounts on one imac

    can I have two accounts on one imac

    You have no idea how happy i would be to be proved wrong on this .. there are loads of posts in the discussion forums saying its impossible. If you can point me to where we are going wrong it would be very much appreciated. This is what we have tried ...
    1. Create a 2 iTunes libraries on a single computer login (switching with the ALT key when starting itunes)
    2. Create a new user account on the computer, create an iTunes library on each individual login.
    In each scenario, the same thing happens. We can
    - Start iTunes in the right library
    - Log in to the iTunes store etc with each account.
    The problem comes as soon as you try to download a purchased item, ie if I buy a song on my iPhone then try to down load it from the "purchased items" of iTunes account it was purchased under. iTunes gives a message saying that if i download something bought under iTunes Account 2, iTunes account 1 will be disabled from downloading or auto-download for 90 days as "this computer is already associated with an Apple ID"
    Should probably have put this into the origianl post for clarity, apologies. i didnt really mean "logged in", we can log in to each iTunes account from the different libraries, but we can use the purchasing or download functionality - hopefully this makes more sense.
    If you know how to set this up properly, it would be amazing if you could share it here?
    Many thanks

  • How to unite two accounts? Please, help me! I have two accounts on pay basis (disk space , programs etc) - but I want to have the one.

    Please, help me!
    I have two accounts - [email protected] , and [email protected]
    on my iPads (3), iPhones (5), Mac (1)
    These two account belong to me exactly (to my name, credit card)
    but I would like to unite these accounts to one if its possible.
    Anotheк problem: Today I've started to manage my iCloud account and I saw that one of my kids has set up his e-mail (the third one!!!) as ID email.
    I would like to delate  it from all my accounts - how I can make it.
    Thank you if you can help me.
    Sincerely yours,
    Victor

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud at two different accounts. You can delete any iCloud account you want to by going to settings > iCloud, scrolling down and tapping the delete button.
    Unfortunately you cannot merge iTunes account, nor can you transfer content from one to the other.

  • I just ran migration assistant, and now I have two accounts on my new iMac...how do I merge my iPhoto libraries?

    I just ran migration assistant, and now I have two accounts on my new iMac...how do I merge my iPhoto libraries? Is there anyway to do it without using an external hard drive?

    Yes there is.
    1: Log out and into the account you later want to remove.
    2: Open your Pictures folder and look for the iPhoto Library.
    3: Right or control click on it, a menu appears and choose the option "Show Package Contents", it's really a folder.
    4: Find the folder called "Originals", select it and use the Finder menu to Duplicate it.
    5: Move the Copy of Originals to the Desktop. Close the window.
    6: From the Finder menu, select Go Computer.
    7: A window appears with your boot drive, double click it and on the Users folder inside.
    8: Select the OTHER users folder and open the folder called Public, inside is a folder called "DropBox"
    9: Drag the Copy of Originals to that DropBox folder, it will copy it.
    10. Log out and into the other account and access the DropBox folder, your files can then be imported into that iPhoto user Library from within the program itself.

    Customer Care would have the authority to reset activations. We are basically users such as yourself and can't do this.

  • How do I share iPhoto 11 library in two accounts on same iMac?

    My husband and I want to share out iPhoto library but we have set up two accounts on our iMac. How do we share iPhoto so that both of us have the same level of access?

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • Can I have two accounts for one IPod touch?

    I have two homes, two computers (one in each home), and one IPod touch. I already have an account set up on one computer in the one home. I have a second home that I'm at about one week per month. I just want to be able to buy itunes at the second home and download them also to my one IPod. In other words I want to be able to get ITunes from two computers to the just one IPod. Is that possible? My son doesn't think I so.

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library. You can also authorise each computer to use songs purchased from the same iTunes Store account:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    Syncing Music to iPod

  • I have two accounts now, how do I trim them down?

    It seems like I have two accounts now and can buy apps and various things through both accounts depending on which one comes up.  One is Pre-MobileMe and the other is a mobile me account and now heading twards iCloud.... so How do I trim them down and in the long run... access the music purchased through the first account and transfer it into the most recent iteration of my world here at Apple? thanks

    Im not sure why I do either but, through my phone I can purchase apps through two different accounts. why?
    You can because you have two different accounts.
    Pick one account and use only that one account.

  • My husband and I both have email accounts on my iMac using Mavericks. Often we both receive an the same emails. If one of us opens the email on their account it automatically considers the email as read on both accounts. I would like to change this.

    My husband and I both have email accounts on my iMac using Mavericks. Often we receive the same emails. Now when one of us opens an email that has been sent to both of us, Mavericks considers the email as read on both accounts. Mountain Lion did not operate this way. Can I change this? Thanks

    By the sounds of it you have linked Email Accounts, if so this means that you will both recieve the majority of the same Emails, and if you do and you read them on your account (which is linked with your husbands) then they will appear to read on the both of them because they are linked. With the majority of Email providers these days they're Emails are (simplified) in the cloud you could say, meaning that if you read or delete shared Emails then it will do the same on both accounts rather than just the yours.
    I hope all that made sense, sorry that I couldn't be of anymore assistance.. If you havent already try googling your problem - you may find some answers on there

  • In regard to Time Machine. I have two accounts one is an admin account, the other is a standard user account. When I implement Time Machine when I am logged into the Admin account, is the standard user also backed up?

    in regard to Time Machine.
    I have two accounts on one Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8. One account is an admin account, the other is a standard user account.
    When I initially implemented Time Machine I was logged into the Admin account. I allowed Time Machine to erase the drive and backup the computer. Is the standard user account contents also backed up?
    Also after I completed the Time Machine backup session, I turned off Time Machine and removed the portable hard drive. I plan to return in to Time Machine after being away from the portable hard drive for approximately a month. After a short interruption of approximately one month, when the Macbook Pro is reconnected and Time Machine is turned back on, will Time Machine create a new instance of a backup? WIll the back up contain the standard user account changes?

    Time Machine backs up by default all the user accounts.
    When you reconnect the backup drive after one month, Time Machine will do an incremental backup and it might take a while minutes to hours depending on how much has been changed. With a gap of a month, Time Machine will have to do a lengthier than normal survey of both drives to see what has changed, so it might take some time preparing for the backup. The backup will include everything that has changed since the previous one.

  • I have two accounts ( mine and one other) which show when I log on,do not need the second one showing so how do I make it "disappear" (not deleted)?

    I have two accounts (A and B) from the same provider on my pc, B is also on another pc and used by someone other than me. Thus, B on my pc is a duplicate and I do not want it displayed on my pc. How do I get it off?

    What's wrong with deleting B?

  • Hi can someone tell me if it is possible to have two accounts (from different countries) in the same laptop?

    Hi can someone tell me if it is possible to have two accounts (from different countries) in the same laptop?

    Hi...
    The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside to make purchases.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."
    From here >  The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store | iLounge Article
    Billing policy is the same for both the iTunes as well as Mac App Stores.

  • I'm trying to redownload my music onto a new computer and its not working..I think I may have two accounts open because the one im signed into is empty and I cant remember my log in info..and when I reset it it doesnt help.

    I got a new lap top and I was trying to re download my music to the new one and it's not working. I think I may have to accounts open because its saying mine hasnt been active in a while and I know thats not true...and there is no music in the library it's all empty...is it possible to have two accounts open? if so how do I cancel one. and keep the other....

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
