Two users, same machine.

Hello.
I have installed Adobe CC on my two Macs: Desktop and Macbook Pro (as it is allowed).
Mainly I use my desktop. Now I have this question: If I create another USER in the same computer, and sign in to Adobe CC, is this count as another computer? Or your system already knows is the same computer?
I have a client with sensitive information and I've created another USER in the computer to be safer. The sofware works, but I want to know what happens if I sync my Photoshop Settings.
I don't want to do anything ilegal or it looks like it. Thank you in advance.

Activations are per computer, not per user. That's all you need to know. Sync can have a million users and is unrelated to the activation.

Sharing: 2 users, same machine... not possible, incredible (!)

A simple question:
2 users, same machine. My wife and Me. We both want to use the same iphoto library.
It's on an external Hard Drive.
Possible??

Yes. Make sure the external HD is set to ignore ownership and formatted OS X Extended (journaled).
Click to view full size
Then each of you should launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and in the next window select the library on the external HD.

One mac, two users, same Quicken - shared file does not work.

As stated I have two users, both administrators, on the one machine and I can not find a way to allow read/write access to the one quicken account. How do I set this up correctly. I do have an external firewire hard drive set up to allow access to photo and media files. If that is my only option to have permissions ignored, what part of Quicken files do I set up on the external? ?only the backup? Would a separate disc image on the internal HD do the same thing?
Thanks in advance.

You can't. Each datafile is associated with a specific user and thus its permissions dictate what can be done with it. IMHO, it's best to use two datafiles, one for each user. Non-Apple application peculiarities are best addressed at that app's forums. In this case, visit http://www.quickencommunity.com/ and post to the appropriate forum.

Two users same photo events

I have 2 users on my imac. I want the both of us to be able to have the same photos in iphoto. Right now if I load photos they can no be viewed on the other users profile. I do not want to have to load the pictures from the camera twice. That would just take up double the room. What do I do?

There are two ways to share, depending on 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.
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. then:
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a disk image.
(Some people have had success putting the library in the Users/ Shared folder. If you do this make sure the file permissions are set to allow read/write access to everyone.)
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. 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.

Two users, same pc, how 2 transfer music library from 1 itunes 2 another

both my wife and i have itunes on the same pc but i have an extensive library of music, how can i transfer all my music from my itunes into hers using ipod if needed

You don't say how your computer is set up, I'm presuming two separate Windows user accounts. You could do a couple of things, one is simply share your current library and you'll find a guide here:"How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195
Or if you prefer separate libraries, you could use your iPod to move a copy of your iTunes folder into the other account, the guide for that is here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173-en

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.

Two users/same pc (win7) and itunes library on external HDD

I've been running my itunes library off an external for ages now and everythings been fine. That was until my wife bought herself an iPhone and now I need to find a way to share my library with her and have it automatically reflect any changes that I've made without moving my library collection (2.25TB) to the PC's HDD. At the moment I have just setup her library so that it points to the same location as mine but the major pain is that if I add an album to my library, I have to then close itunes, logon as her and re-open itunes and add the album again. This seems a little tedious and has to be a better way. All the forums I've read about sharing the library between users, want the music moved to the shared music folder and I've tried everything to get around this... Any help is greatly appreciated

The only format drive that will work with both a Mac and a PC without you using additional drivers is an older format called FAT. Disk Utility can create this. Otherwise if you use Windows' NTFS you need something like NTFS3G or MacFuse, and if you use OSX's HFS format you will need MacDrive on Windows (others may also work for both PC and Mac -- those are just the ones I could remember).
Theoretically the Mac should have been able to read the .itl on the Windows NTFS drive but maybe since it found it could not write to it, it reverted to default.
Note, if anything happens to the FAT32 drive you will need to repair it using Windows. I also assume you aren't usign this drive for huge files because FAT32 has a 4GB filesize limit.
You will have to completely erase the drive to partition and re-format it.

Can i share music and photos between two users on the same machine?

How can I share my music and photos between two users on the same machine?

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

Two users on different machines seem to be sharing the same signature settings in Mail

I am completely puzzled by this one. I have two users on separate macbook pro's using OSX Mavericks Apple Mail. Whenever one user changes their signature, it changes the other users signature. The mail server is Kerio Connect. The only workaround is to have two signatures and then each user picks their own signature as the default. Any ideas, anybody?

Both users are signed in to the same iCloud account, and both have activated "Documents & Data" synchronization.

Two users on same machine working on same iWeb site

Hi
We have two users on our new iMac because some things we want to keep separate. But we both want to work on our iWeb site when we feel like it, from our own account.
I copied the domains file into Users\Shared and it appeared we could both work on it from there. But then I found that each blog entry becomes only partially editable by the other user. iWeb doesn't complain when I save, but it isn't actually saving the changes to blog entries that were started by the other user.
Can anyone please help tell me how two users are supposed to work on the same iWeb blog? Thank you!

I would also like to know the answer to this.
Thanks!

Share iTunes purchases between two user accounts on the same Mac?

I have a Macbook Pro, for my bride and I, and a Macbook, for our kids. Both Macs are authorized on my iTunes account.
So, how can I share an iTunes Store purchased song on my account with my wife's? I understand how to turn on sharing and she can see my songs in iTunes on her account, but she cannot synch them to her iPod.
Now, I'm allowed to authorize an iTunes account on up to five Macs. I have two. But I have four accounts. Either way, I won't be exceeding five copies, but can't find a way to get a song I bought in my iTunes to my wife's iPod.
We use the same iTunes account but don't want to have to buy things twice to get them on her iPod. Just seems weird that I could put it on five machines but not two user accounts on the same one.

On my Mac Pro I moved the entire library to "Macintosh HD/Shared/iTunes". Changed the Folder location in iTunes Preferences->Advanced->General to point to that location. Then in each user change the Music/iTunes folder to be an alias or link pointing to the Shared/iTunes folder. You will likely need to change the permissions on that folder to give everyone the ability to read and write. Do that via "Get Info" on the iTunes folder using Finder. I'd suggest backing everything up before you do this.

Can two users work on different files of the same project?

Sorry if this has been asked already...but can two users work
on different files of the same project? How would that work? Would
it work something like this?
1. From RoboHelp 7, user A checks out the entire project.
2. User A checks in the files they are not working with.
3. User B checks out the project but can only 'edit' the
files that have been checked in by user A.
Is this how the source control works?

That's the basic idea. User A doesn't actually have to check
out the whole project, though. RSC will selectively check out only
the files that are actually getting changed. Both writers will have
a complete copy of the project on their local machines, but the
files are read-only until they are literally checked out, which is
on an as-needed basis unless the writer explicitly checks them out.

Can I use FCX for multiple users on the same machine?

I have one mac pro, and two video cmpanies. I have two users on my machine and would like to set up two different final cut x workplatforms. Is that possible?

Of course, you can use FCP X from two different user accounts on your machine. The question here, I believe, is how to separate the content that each user accesses.
One obvious way to achieve that would be to store the content in the system disk - that would put events and projects in each user's Movies folder. But that is a bad option, for performance reasons, and more.
You could have separate external disks for each user to store his content.
Also, you could use different disk images which could, say, be all stored in the same internal (but not system) drive.

Two users, same machine.
