Two accounts on the same address password issue

Not sure if this is the right spot to put this but i have two accounts on the same mail address... i have forgotten the password of my main accoutn but every time i ask for my password it resets the password for this account instead. I have tried switching this account address to a different account to free it up but it doesnt seem to work. Any ideas?

Hi, Kainaq, and welcome to the Community!
I will confess I am mystified why the same e-mail address is allowed to be used as the registered e-mail address for multiple accounts. Apparently, most of the time, a password re-set request is tied to a Skype name and/or account. However, when this happens as you relate it, the only recourse is to file with Skype Customer Service. contact customer service

Two accounts at the same address?

Hi all, I'm new to the forums, so my apologies if I'm asking this in the wrong place.
I am currently living in a house with another family member. At this house, the house line is paid for by that other family member--it's a PHONE ONLY account.
I live upstairs, and I am an existing phone + DSL customer with MY OWN LINE and own account, seperate from the house line. I believe it comes right inside upstairs from a pole.
I would like to upgrade my existing account to FIOS internet/phone, but don't want it to have ANYTHING to do with the other/main house line that belongs to my other fmaily member. In other words, is there a way to just change MY line and not touch the other account? This other person wants their phone line to remain untouched, and I'd like that too.
Thanks in advance for any opinions/thoughts on this.

Separate Accounts it should be possible. Unless they are on the same cable. Same wire from the pole, then Verizon may want to replace that with fiber.
Now you may be able to have the main residential account left as is, and have Fios installed as a business account. Some restrictions and higher cost. Restrictions on some VOD and PPV content, if I remember correctly. Business account would let you have a static IP at added cost, and also gives a second phone line as part of the bundle.
I have FiOS and had scheduled a Business FiOS install, but canceled because I found that it would not bind speeds, but only provide more connections through a dual WAN router. I was thinking more along the lines of 150+/70+ but two WANs probably would only help with many connections such as P2P, gaming, or multiple users.
But if you called the regular Fios sales and the said know, you could try the small business side and as them if you could have your line converted to a business account.
Only Verizon can answer these questions. I would talk to residential sales first, and see for sure if it is or is not possible to sell it that way. It may be difficult to get a yes or no. They may say yes when really it is no. Separate accounts it should be possible.
Or get business fios to replace your line, they are sort of a separate group. http://smallbusiness.verizon.com/

How do I install a new Exchange account with the same address as my old Exchange account and have my bcc mail not go to the old account?

I have an iPhone 5s running iOS8 and an iPad, up to date. I have recently changed my mail server but not my email address. My "old" mail account is an Exchange account and I have also set up a "new" Exchange account with the same address but with the new mail server details. When I receive outside, third party emails they are routed correctly to the "new" Exchange account but when I bcc myself or receive other emails from any account with my domain name the emails are routed to my "old" Exchange account. I have changed the default account settings to the "new" Exchange account. Also, if I send myself an email from my laptop, through the new mail service provider, it is routed correctly on my laptop but incorrectly on my iPhone and iPad. It appears as though the Apple products have cached my email address and routing and won't look to pick up the new mail server details. I don't see anything in the mail account settings or contacts that allows me to refresh or clear the cache. The result is I now have mail in 2 accounts. If I can get the misdirected mail from the odl account to the new one I will then make the old account inactive. Anyone have any ideas on this one?
Thanks in advance for your time and ideas,
DAA

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

Using iPhoto library by two accounts on the same computer

I have tried to use iPhoto across two accounts on the same computer using the fast switching.
I have found that i could access the iPhoto library by opening the app with the option key down and pointing the user to the library in the primary account.
the library shows up in the second account, but no longer in the primary account.
since it would be better and more useful for me to have the library show up in the primary account, now I cannot switch back.
the app finds the library OK from the secondary user, but not for the primary.
i just get a message that the photos are loadig, left it for three hours, and nothing loaded. the library appears to be intact.
I can point the primary user app to the backup disk and see all of the photos there, but don't know what to do to bring things back to normal here.
iMac G5 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPhoto 6.05

Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

It should be in the Users/ Shared folder.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Note the option to check and repair Library Permissions

Two accounts with the same iTunes library (at same time!)

Hi, on my iMac I setup my iTunes library (connected with ATV), guessing what happens if I move this library to the shared folder on my iMac and in the same time this is opened by the two accounts present on my iMac (me and my wife).
Should I make the connection with ATV also on my wife's account ? What happens to other account ?
Thanks.

only one iTunes can access a library at a time.
instead, you could try this:
i assume both you and your wife have their own iTMS account. if that is so, you might want to try to cross-authorize iTunes on each account to play/use content purchased by the other. this works at least for an iPod Touch so i would be surprised if it didn't work for the TV.
that's basically very easy. all you have to do is +log out+ of one account (click on the account name in the Store window and select sign out from the pop-up dialog) and into the other, and then they will both be authorized. (be sure to just *log out*, not de-authorize ).

If I have two accounts for the same server, how do I save both Passwords?

Is it possible to have the FireFox password save feature remember the passwords for two different accounts on the same server? For instance, I log into both my own account and my wife's account at Chase Bank for our credit cards, mine is a business card and hers is a personal card (of which I also have a card). I would like FF to remember both accounts and when I arrive at the server, FF to ask me which one I want to use.

Sharing between two accounts on the same Windows Vista PC

Is it possible to home share between two different accounts on the same computer?
On my son's account, iTunes for some reason won't connect to the iTunes Store. So I would like to enable him to purchase stuff on my account and then use home share to access it. We both use the same Apple ID at home.

By accident I came across a solution that may work for you. This works on a Mac but I think it should work in Windows as well.
On the Mac, if I log into a user account and launch iTunes and then use Fast User Switching to log into another account leaving iTunes running in the first account. I can then launch iTunes in the second account and access all the media stored in the first account's iTunes library using Home Sharing.
I believe Windows has the same ability that allows one user to log into their account while another user is already logged in. If so you may be able to do the same thing in Windows. I'm not sure what happens in Windows to running application when the second user logs in though. If applications are allowed to continue running then I don't see why this shouldn't work in Windows as well. If applications are paused then I can see this not working. The key here to to not log out of the first account therby forcing the applications to stop running.
The downside is that your son would first have to log into your account and launch iTunes before logging into his own account. If giving your son access to your account password is not ideal you could also create a third computer account that both of you have access to that would be used only to store and buy iTunes content. That account could be used as the sharing account that you both can have access to while logged into your own respective accounts.

I have two accounts with the same name. One no longer works. Can I delete it without deleting the folders it shares with the other account? How?

Each account has the same name (e.g. both are called [email protected]). The newer one was set up by accident during a conversion from Outlook. Both access the same inbox and sent mail. The two accounts show up as separate in Thunderbird and both have their own inboxes and sent mail boxes. The older one has not updated since the newer one was created, and the older one can no longer reach the server. I want to delete the old one, but am worried that it may delete the folders for the new one in the process. All of the relevant messages are still hosted on the ISP's server. Please advise whether I can do a simple "delete account" on the old account and not wipe out the new one at the same time.

Actually, doing a "delete account" does not delete the folders associated with it. They are still there, but unused. There should not be a problem with doing the "delete account".

Trying to homeshare using two accounts on the same Mac

My partner and I both have our own accounts on the same MacBook with separate iTunes accounts. We are trying to homeshare so that we can share our music. We have both logged into the same homeshare account and authorised both itunes accounts on both iTunes. Neither iTunes shows the Homeshare option on the left hand menu so we are still unable to view each other's libraries or share music. Can anyone advise what to do next? I have searched the apple support site and googled but can't find anything to help. Is the problem that we are both using separate accounts on the same macbook rather than two separate devices?
Thanks!

You need two computers to enable homesharing to work.

Address Book - two users sharing the same address book

My wife and I have separate accounts on the same mac. How can she share access to my address book. I tried to copy it over to a new directory in the same path ie, users>name>library>applicationsupport>addressbook - but this didn't work and caused the dreaded spinning icon.

Sharing itunes library between two accounts on the same imac

We just got a 27" imac and my wife and I have our own log on accounts. We share our itunes library. I have moved our itunes library to the shared folder so both of us can see its contents and pointed itunes on both user accounts to that shared folder. But, if she or I purchase an app or music it doesn't go into that shared folder. So I have to copy and paste it into the shared folder. Am I missing something there should be an easier way? I just want us to share the music and iphone apps we purchase.
We are using the same itunes account on the same imac, we just have different user accounts on the imac. Thanks

Home Sharing - Can you share between two accounts on the same computer?

I haven't been able to find any info about this, but does home sharing allow you to share files between to different user accounts on the same computer? I have been struggling with trying to do this for years, and I'm really hoping this solves my problem.

This is true in a sense; you have to use the same itunes account to activate home sharing. BUT, you don't need to use the same itunes account for general use.
Example:
My computer and iPhone has one itunes account.
My wife's computer and iPhone have a totally separate account.
I turned on Home Sharing on both machines using one account name and ID - mine.
Now she can see and copy my music and apps, etc. I can see and copy her music, apps, etc.
However, when she goes to the iTunes store, she still can buy and so forth *on her own account*. Same with her iPhone. And I can still do the same as well on my own account on my machine and phone.
The only limitation seems to be updating apps: If you copy apps over to another machine using Home Sharing and install them on another phone running another account, it works great. But you can't seem to update those copied apps, unless you log in on the phone or the computer it syncs up to with the account it came from.
Aside from that, the apps still work even when the computer it was copied to and the phone it was synced to are active on ANOTHER account.
The key is the setup - for Home Sharing. That needs to be one account, but otherwise it's business as usual.
