Two devices, two users, same Mac -- share/merge Apps?

My dad has an iPad 2 with his own Mac OS X user acct and Apple ID. I have my iPhone 4 with my own Mac user acct and separate Apple ID. We both use the same iMac.
Is it possible for us to share apps? I hate buying lots of apps twice.

Is it possible for us to share apps?
Yes. The machine should already be authorized for both accounts. You may need to go through the steps of authorizing the other account in each profile, however it shouldn't consume an extra one of your five authorizations for each account. Once authorized you can import the apps from the other user's profile.

  • I have just signed upfor family sharing. Is there any way you can get the same app on two devices but not have to share it? My sons both want clash of clans but they don't want to be on the same village and they can't both be on app at the same time?

    hi, the app is not "shared", it works as if you bought the app twice with different accounts, only you paid it once. they should have 2 different villages since they're on 2 different devices.

  • Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID?

    Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID? SO i could iMessage if out from my iPod to my iPad at home to be viewed by a family member?

    Look into using Apple Configurator.  It's the easiest way to "reimage" and Manage iPads that I know of right now.

    Also, look into using the Educational Volume Purchase Program, if you have not already done so.

  • Can two user accounts on the same mac share the Address Book

    My wife and I have separate user accounts on the same Mac but we would like to share the same Address Book. I have searched the forums to no avail. It seems silly to use .mac to do so, and a needless expense when the information is already on the same computer.

    That's not possible. you have to use Mobileme if you want to share the address book.

  • Talking to two devices, at the same time.

    Hi,
    I wonder you could help me with my solution.
    I'm using GPIB to talk to two devices. I need to reset and align one device A and control the device B. The process A can take up to 2 minutes. The process B is to cool off the DUT to demanded temperature and it can take up to 3 minutes to achieve the demanded temperature. To monitor these processes I use pull method and:
    for process A I use the STATPER:COND? query (is it 1?)
    for process V I use TEMP? query (get temperature, is the answer within the limits to exit?)
    Now, I do these processes one by one. But, because both the processes have to be done each time before DUT is tested (as a part of a setting up the test routine), I'd like to save some test time. Technically, both two processes are independent, I can trigger them almost at the same time and wait when the longer one finishes itself, and them move to the tests part.
    However, the first attempt of doing go was unsuccessful. When I issued the STATPER:COND? query within the connection to the device A it looks like all GPIB bus is blocked and I cannot issue the TEMP? query to the device B, as the bus seems to be waiting for the STATPER:COND? command sent to the device A to finish.
    Strange thing is that then I issue the STATPER:COND? command for first time, the device is not able to accept any other commands.
    Why?
    What is proper approach to to this test time saving?
    Solved!

    X-Series Signal Analyzer Spectrum Analyzer Mode User's and Programmer's Reference is to be downloaded from the web.
    below are some exerpts from this manual
    you can query and interpret the details with visa write and reads and a bit of bit analysing. I have no time to search for a working example.
    How to Use the Status Registers
    A program often needs to be able to detect and manage error conditions or changes in instrument status. There are two methods you can use to programmatically access the information in status registers:
    • The polling method
    • The service request (SRQ) method
    In the polling method, the instrument has a passive role. It only tells the controller that conditions have changed when the controller asks the right question. The polling method works well if you do not need to know about changes the moment they occur. To detect a change using the polling method, the program must repeatedly read the registers.
    To monitor a condition:
    a.Determine which register contains the bit that reports the condition.
    b.Send the unique SCPI query that reads that register.
    c.Examine the bit to see if the condition has changed.
    To query the status byte register, send the command *STB? The response will be the decimal sum of the bits which are set to 1. For example, if bit number 7 and bit number 3 are set to 1, the decimal sum of the 2 bits is 128 plus 8. So the decimal value 136 is returned. The *STB command does not clear the status register. In addition to the status byte register, the status byte group also contains the service request enable register. This register lets you choose which bits in the status byte register will trigger a service request.
    Send the *SRE <integer> command where <integer> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you want to enable plus the decimal value of bit 6. For example, assume that you want to enable bit 7 so that whenever the standard operation status register summary bit is set to 1 it will trigger a service request. Send the command

  • Attaching two ipods to the same MAC.

    I just bought an ipod for my daughter. I attached it to my family MAC and it automatically downloaded my wifes music. My daughter wasn't too happy and wants to put her own music on the ipod. Can anyone tell me how to get my wife's music off of my daughter's ipod and set up a separate music section for my daughter? Thank you!!
      Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    You can create a User account for your daughter in the same Mac. You can either share some of your wife's songs from Share Music preferences, or just drop some music files on your daughters Public folder from your wife's account, then transfer it to your daughters iTunes library.
    Or from your daughter's account, she can create her own library. A new account will treat the iPod as new and will ask if you want that account to be connected to the iPod. It will wipe out all your wife's music on it and put on a new one from the new library it is connected.

  • HT2480 two devices on my itunes account, want different apps for each

    I have two devices on my itunes account, an ipad I use for business and an iphone I use mostly for personal.  I want to keep only business apps on my ipad and most/all apps on my phone, but every time I try to sync, itunes tries to reinstall all of my apps regardless of device.
    Does anyone have a solution for how I can have two devices with different selections of the apps I have paid for without downloading all of the apps to each device?  I tried just not syncing the ipad but then it had technical problems and the genius bar needed to delete a bunch of notes from the device, so that is sub-optimal.

    Is it possible to connect and sync an iPod Touch to both user accounts on the same Mac?

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. You can't auto-sync music and videos from multiple locations.

  • Can I share iTunes libraries between two accounts on the same Mac?

    Hello,
    I have an iMac on which I began making iTunes purchases. I failed, initially, to set up a separate account for my kids, who are still to young to operate the computer by themselves, but old enough to watch "Arthur" - anyway, now that I have set up a separate account to manage for them, I don't have access to the library in our "big person" account. I've tried putting files in the shared folder and the drop box, but neither of these works.
    Please help!
    Thanks.

    Jim, sorry, I should have mentioned that permissions issue.
    I have a similar setup on a Mac mini. I have the entire iTunes library in the shared folder and on each user account, I point it to that iTunes library file. That way there isn't a permissions problem when multiple accounts are connected to it.
    The only problem with that is that each user account connected to that iTunes library can make changes to the library file (ratings, playlists, etc.)

  • 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.

  • How to use the find Iphone app on two devices with the same itunes and apple id number?

    I have two Iphones connected to the same apple id . I am unable to use the find my iphone app on both devices. It only works on one!! Please help! It is driving me crazy lol!!

    The app should locate both phones if they are using the same iCloud account and the app is signed into the account.  If they are using different account, sign out, then sign back in with the other account to track the other phone.
    If one of them isn't showing and you're signed into the correct iCloud account, go to Settings>iCloud on the phone in question and turn Find My iPhone Off, then back On.

  • Command line - two devices with the same name

    I have two identical logitech usb webcams on the same system,
    and I'm trying to use the command line to encode from each. The
    problem is that the xml profile requires the device name, but both
    devices are listed using the exact same name, so the command line
    only ever chooses one of the cameras as the source. Using the GUI,
    I can select one or the other because they both appear in the drop
    down list.
    Is there a way to specify the device index ala ActionScript,
    or another way to specify the device? I tried renaming the camera
    in the WinXP control panel, but that change was not seen by FME.
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem - I tried attaching my Canopus
    ADVC 1000 adapters to different Firewire chains (motherboard and
    PCI-based) but that didn't help.

  • Two iphones on the same mac laptop

    can two iphones be on the same computer? daughter will be getting my old 2g and i want to know all i need to set it up.

    I suggest disabling automatic syncing with iTunes. Go to iTunes > Preferences. Under the Devices tab, select disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods.
    Connect one iPhone to your computer and iTunes and select what you want for that iPhone under the various tabs for the iPhone's sync preferences followed by a sync.
    Do the same for the 2nd iPhone.
    Done.
