Tracking multiple macbooks with same apple-id

Is it possible to use the same apple-id to use the "find my mac" icloud service for about 60 macbooks?
The macbooks is configured with a "hidden" administrator account, where i eventuelly could enable the tracking feature with the same apple-id on all machines.
What will happen if the user also enables "find my mac" on their local user account?

If each mac is connected to the same icloud account (ID), then, unless there's a limit to the number of devices attached to one account - and I seem to recall that there is, then you should be able to track them.  But if they use different accounts, then no, you can't track them using the same map.  Of course if you knew each ID and password used for all the macs, then you could log into icloud.com one account at a time and check on them.
I don't understand what you mean by "on their local user account"?  The mac account?  They'd have to know the password of the icloud account in order to log into icloud.com to use Find My Mac.

  • Facetime on multiple devices with same Apple ID?

    Hi...we have an iPad 1, iPhone 4S, iPod touch from 2010 and new iPod Touch yesterday.
    I have not set up the new iPod Touch yet...but all the other devices are using the same Apple ID so I can buy apps and allow all my devices to get the apps installed for free.  Great.
    How can I set up my new iPod Touch to use the same Apple ID and also do Facetime?  If I use the same Apple ID I would think that my other devices would start to ring when I try to Facetime.  No?
    If you know how to do this, can you please reply and give exact steps?
    Thanks so much in advance.
    -Eric

    @dutra - Your suggestion worked like a charm. I have two options setup under my daughter's name in Facetime: Touch and iPAd. All I need to do is choose which I want to call. Easy-peasy.
    @jeffreyfromorillia - This advice may be too late... But, register each device using your ID, as you should. Once this is complete do the following:
    1 - Go to SETTINGS on device A
    2 - Choose FACETIME
          - here you'll see your ID in the account field -- ignore it/leave it there.
         - below you'll see the email field, enter your daughter's email addy (you don't have to worry about the "+XXX"      unless she has more than once device because it applies only to the multiple device scenario)
         - IF you have used your email addy in the email field, click on Add Another Email and enter daughter's addy      here, then go back and choose your email addy and click remove
    You are good to go. Repeat same steps for your stepdaughter's device.
    If either girl has multiple devices you want to Facetime, follow steps 1 and 2, and in the email field click on Add Another Email and enter - [email protected] - then go back and delete orignal email entered. Do same for second device - [email protected], remembering to delete orginal email here, too.
    On your device go to Facetime and edit contact - it prolly shows HOME / WORK / OTHER, click on it and choose CUSTOM, name it iPod, then enter the NEW email "[email protected]" and do same for second device, customizing the field to read iPad, or whatever you choose... Now you should have two options to choose from for contacting Girl 1. Repeat for Girl 2.
    Hope this works for you, it worked out splendidly for me.
    Cheers.

  • Can I install iMovie on multiple computers with same Apple ID?

    I have a work Mac owned by my company and a personal Mac; both were purchased brand new & are therefore entitled to a free copy of iMovie I believe. My workplace is telling me to sign in with my personal Apple ID in order to download iMovie. Will this cause problems for me in the future if I need to reformat my personal Mac & re-download iMovie?

    No, it won't cause you problems.

  • HT1206 Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

    Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

  • How do I share songs I've bought on different devices but with same Apple ID on other ios devices?

    The album I am trying to download shows up as purchased when I look it up but doesn't show up in my account downloads??

    This is a somewhat recent change, but frankly there is no reason to constantly be logging out of one Apple ID and logging in with a different Apple ID.
    If multiple people with different Apple ID's are regularly using the same computer, either authorize the computer for each of the Apple IDs or created unique logins on the computer for each user and have each sign in with their appropriate Apple ID.

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

    For the first two above you look at java.io.File and listFiles(FileFilter filter).
    For the third you find whatever input stream is appropriate from java.io.*

  • Multiple accounts with same email

    I have multiple accounts with same email
    The one that has all my contacts is the one attached to FB but for some odd reason I can no longer access this specific account
    When I try to reset my password, it only keeps asking me to change my FB password
    Once I try logging in on Skype, it keeps asking my FB to connect to the other 2 Skype accounts, completely diffente usernames
    I am only interested in the one that originally connected to my FB as it has all my contacts
    As my other 2 accounts are my old Skype accounts and have my old contacts from years ago

    Actually this morning I was able to log on the account from an iPad with no fuss but the pc refuses to sign in^^^!???! "Skype couldn't connect" - What is going on???
    I also found out that I could sign in via a browser but not via skype program... So I uninstalled it and installed it again and it's working now...
    I have now changed the email so I don't have 3 accounts with the same primary email as Skype seems to not being able to handle multiple accounts with same email!!!

    Whatsapp uses your mobile phone number, not your Apple ID. So you can use it on 3 phones, but each phone will be a different "person" on whatsapp's network.
