Two users sharing one email account?

My son and I uses the same email address account to purchase music on a iMac . We bought a windows machine and he wants to use iTunes on windows with different account. How to separate the music on one machine?
Thank you
Luis

I strongly suggest you get the whole profile in the same folder hierarchy before you even consider moving to windows 7.
Windows XP has Program File
Windows 7 has Program Files and Program Files (X86) your executable goes in the x86 one.
XP has applications data
Windows 7 has appdata
In windows XP Thunderbird's profile is in application data in windows 7 it is in appdata/roaming
If you open explorer the old locations appear to be there, but they will not work to locate Thunderbird's disparate parts of it's profile
And so the list goes on. Hence none of the locations you know will probably exist under windows 7 so if parts of the profile are pointing to locations that have changed, only grief awaits you.

I have two iPhones, under one email account.

Over time, I have two iPhones, uand two iPads under one email account. When I download an app on one cell phone, it shows up on my other one also. How can I totally remove one iPhone and one iPad (my wife's) and place them on their own email account without losing certain apps and data I want to remain?

Settings > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads on each device.
Turn Apps and anything else you don't want automatically downloaded on each device when another device with the shared Apple ID makes a download from the iTunes Store.
Creating a new Apple ID for another iOS device that is currently sharing the same Apple ID will not remove the apps that were downloaded with the shared Apple ID.
All apps include DRM protection that is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. When there is an app update that was downloaded with the shared Apple ID, that Apple ID and password must be used to download the update.

Two iPhones with one email account, notes and alerts from separate users show up on each others phones

My husband and I have always shared a personal email account. We got iPhones a year ago and each set them up to view our shared email. He also has a separate email account for work. Unfortunately, when either of us takes a "note" on the notepad or sets an alert on the calendar, it shows up on the other person's phone. I assume these aps use the email to sync? Is there a way to manage this so that we can share email but not the other stuff? We set up separate iCloud accounts with separate apple ID's thinking that would do it but it didn't change anything.

goto settings>mail,contacts,calenders>accounts and under your shared email account disable notes and calender.
hope this helps

Two users on one iCloud account?

We are atwo iPhone household (currently both are 3Gs), one for me and one for mywife. We share an iTunes account and MobileMe account so both phones have access to the same music (iTunes) and the same Calendar (MobileMe). When we convert to iCloud should we use the same iCloud account? What are the benefits of us each having our own account vs. using the same one? If we use separate accounts, can we both still access and sync the same music from iTunes? Will we be able to continue to share calendars?
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean a single MobileMe account, with two people sharing it, then yes they both need to start using iCloud at the same time.
If however you mean two people using a family MobileMe account, then no, they can migrate at different times.

TS3276 There are two User accounts on my iMac. The two Users have seperate email accounts. Both email Mailboxes show up in each Account. If I Delete Mailbox from in User account, does it delete the Mailbox from the other User account at the same time?

There are 2 Users on my iMac. Each User has their own email account. Both account Mailboxes show up in each User's account. If I delete a Mailbox in one account, does it delete the same Mailbox in the other Account?

If you click the - sign in Mail preferences, it will delete that mail account. If you just delete the Mailbox, that will just delete the Mailbox.
Each user can put their own email account information in Mail when logged into their User Account.
If you don't want the other user's mail account to show up in your mail application, then make sure the other user's messages are available to them when they are logged into their account and delete the other user account from Mail in your User Account. The other user can do the same when logged into their user account. Any messages stored in one locally will have to be transfered to the other's user account if it's not saved in their user login.
In addition, instead of deleting the account at first, highlight the account and open the Advanced Tab and disable the account. That email account will dissappear from Mail. Once you decide that you don't want the account, you can delete it. If you need to get back to it to transfer messages, just re enable it.

Sharing one "Email account" between two Windows "user account" in a "Global Inbox"

Context: Two "windows user accounts" on a Windows XP PC, having the same email address. The "Local folder" is placed on a "All users" directory and acounts settings specify a POP server with a retention period of 30 days.
Problem: When User B ask for reception of messages, he received all messages already read by user B. (this probably due to separate popstate.dat).
On a previous PC two years ago, we do not had this dupplicate reading.
If you have a solution, could you also cover the Windows 7 case.

Does it matter if you are sharing one email account with two phone numbers

I am trying to facetime with my wife. We share the same email. but have two different phone numbers. on her end it says she is unavailable for facetime. Any help would be great. Thanks.

The 'extension' cords are all compatible with all of the power bricks for Apple portables (PowerBooks, MacBooks, MacBook Pros, etc.). I also have several from many generations (back to early PowerBooks) and I use them all interchangeably with current adapters (in various rooms at home, at work, etc.).
(As a side note, they are not compatible with the iPod power bricks, but that's not relevant for you.)

How do I merge two profiles (different time periods) on two computers for one email account, into one profile?

I have a primary computer which has emails back for several years (Thunderbird). One account is rather important to me and I created it with IMAP on a laptop which I took overseas. When returning, I noted that all of the emails to that date (January 2015) had downloaded onto the laptop Thunderbird for this account.
When I accessed the primary computer at home, for some reason it cleared every email I had in my profile up to the date I last used the laptop overseas. All the "Inbox.mozmsgs" seem to be there (whatever *they* are) but all the emails prior to January 2015 are gone in Thunderbird.
What I want to do is copy the profile *for this account only* from my laptop and somehow merge that (pre-January) with the same profile account in my desktop (post-January) so that once again I have the full email history on my primary computer, the desktop.
I cannot find any explicit instructions on how to accomplish this. I would very much appreciate well thought out assistance. There must be a way - otherwise I will need to set up a virtual machine and create an account on that on my desktop for the pre-January profile, which will be a little tedious).
Thanks in advance...

There are two approaches which would work for you.
# copy the profile folder ********.profile from your laptop to your home computer and use https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles to switch back and forth.
# export the mail from your laptop to an external medium and then import it to your home computer. There is an add-on to TB which allows import and export of emails in various formats to a separate storage medium (external disk, thumb drive, etc.). The instructions on how to download and install it can be found at http://barryduggan.info/exportMail.php

I have two phones sharing one icloud account. How do I keep the phones for sharing stock application information?

I have two iphones and three macbook pros. Instead of using my ical server to sync my calendar I am now using icloud to sync the calendars. Since I implemented this the stocks on each phone which were different are now same when the phone syncs. How do I break the syncing between the iphone stock applications?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, providing you with your own contacts, calendars etc, not doing so will result in exactly what you have experienced. The contacts have likely been lost due to the options you have chosen at the login stage on each device.
Unless you have the missing contacts in a backup file, they won't be recoverable unfortunately. You can add them manually to the contracts that already exist and continue to share the iCloud account if you wish, but I suggest that you each have your own iCloud account.
Note, you can each have your own iCloud account, but continue to share an iTunes account for purchases of apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc.

Can i have two devices sharing one itunes account

i currently have my iphone synced with my itunes account, i have just bought a ipod and want it to share the same itunes account, library etc, how do i do this without wiping it off my phone when ading the new ipod ??

This won't be a problem, iTunes will see the new device as a separate device, it will have its own settings under iTunes, you can set it up to sync the same content or different content to the first device, it will have no effect on how the first device syncs with iTunes.

TS4097 we have multiple users in our family and multiple devices all sharing one itunes account. i think we are all synced to one icloud account and it is a nightmare....contacts lost, text messags showing up on multiple devises etc. how do we fix this?

We have our family sharing one itunes account. we have 3 iphones, 2 macbook airs, 2 ipads and 1 mac. I am not sure how we even got started on the icloud but somehow we did and everything is a mess. The ipads are showing the text messages, the contacts are all combined, the apps that my duaghter downloads are appearing on all devices. how do we fix this so contacts are not shared, messages are not shared and apps are not automatically synced to all devises?

You have two different issues going on. You are getting each other's messages because you are sharing the Same Apple ID for iMessage. This can be corrected by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on add the devices and doing one of the following:
Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on all of your devices; or
If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your devices, on all of the other ones tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so all devices will be using a different Apple ID for iMessage). Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores. It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services.
The second issue is that you are sharing the same iCloud account on your devices. When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
First decide which device(s) will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one(s) that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else that you want to keep on the device(s), save these to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this device, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On [iDevice]. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a separate Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. Repeat this process for all the devices that you need to migrate to new accounts.
When finished, to un-merge the data in your accounts you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

HT1473 My girlfriend and I both have iTunes account with our own music libraries and we want to combine our two libraries into one icloude accounts so can both then access our one shared libary at anytime in the cloud. How do we do this?

No it is not possible. Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

How do I add a desktop link to gmail? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link to two other email accounts.

How do I add a desktop link to additional email accounts? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link on my desktop that takes me to two other email accounts.

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?
