Same computer, different user... How to transfer apps?
I've just given my 3G to my girlfriend. She uses the same PC as me, but under a different user. The machine is running 64 Vista Pro, soon to be Windows 7.
Can she just run iTunes as her user and my apps, etc. will be available for her, or do I need to do something to transfer the content over to her user?
Google shows lots of hits for moving to a new computer, but not to a different user on the same computer.
I think so. But it allows for syncing with 1 itunes at once....so it may still prompt you to restore. I dunno, you can try and if it does....just dont do it.
Easiest way to make actual app files available to her iTunes is just to copy the ones she wants from
C: \Users\USER_NAME\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications on your profile to a folder on root of the C: \ drive (ie C: \iphone apps). Then she can log in and move them to her iTunes\Mobile Applications folder, then drag them into iTunes. Or use a thumb drive or something like that.
As to whether or not they will sync to her phone, Guess you could try, and the worst that could happen is iTunes says no.
*Edit* I had to put spaces in the file paths cuz there is a smily on here that is activated by : \ without a space
