    fast user switching and iTunes sharing

    FYI - in 7B74, iTunes now will not even run in 2 user sessions. Instead, It warn that another user is running iTunes, ask that user to shut it down. Fine by me - Earphoria (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18202) is a fantasic way for all users to enjoy the same library!

    fast user switching and iTunes sharing

    fast user switching and iTunes sharing

    hi, I'm trying to come up with the best strategy for sharing iTunes music among multiple local users. Assume that 2 users always simultaneously run iTunes. Pointing iTunes to a common - shared - iTunes directory works some-what, but what happens if the ID3 Tags for the mp3s are updated...

    Hi, I have an 800Mhz 17" iMac. In the short time that I've had it, I've watched apple release 1Ghz and 1.4Ghz versions of it .... DOH! I see processor upgrades for Power Macs in the latest Macworld. I'm now wondering if a CPU upgrade (800Mhz -> 1.4Ghz) is at all possible. Can it be...

    Panther 7B21 (newer Panther builds)

    I've got the WWDC version of Panther installed and working great with all my apps. Any idea if 7B21 will upgrade the previous? If not, can anyone offer some 'best practices' for moving from one OS version to another (preferably, without having to re-install/re-configure everything)...
