Oh, very neat; I've a lot to learn, and to think I was tech support, for Windows NT4... anybody remember that? Win2k?

Re: Household iMac
I remember the users and groups section deals with this pretty well like any business used computer. So yes, a good a solution as any. I don't know if it can be switched off like on Windows, but my "Just Used" mMini still asks for my password, so typing alternative id as well as password would be no real hasle. Hth, Rh. - Original Message - From: "Traci Duncan" To: Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2014 3:18 PM Subject: Household iMac Hi all, I'm looking for tips on a household sharing a Mac. My guess is having 2 user accounts may be the easiest way to do this. Am I correct? There would be 2 primary users, then a guest account. I know for sure we would want separate iTunes libraries & separate iCloud accounts. We don't share the same Apple ID... Is 2 users the most effective way to accomplish this. I appreciate any tips you all might have if you have shared a Mac system before. Oh btw, only one of us is a VoiceOver user. ;) if we are successful in finding the right Mac for us, just wait until I bring windows into the mix, because that is my eventual goal.

Re: Household iMac
Yes, user accounts are your friend here. You can have each account set up with its own settings, iCloud login, iTunes library, home folder for storing files, app settings, and so on. Just be sure to have VO come on at logon, or you will be stuck trying to log in. On Sep 6, 2014, at 10:18 AM, Traci Duncan wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm looking for tips on a household sharing a Mac.
