How to manage my kids apps on different devices when they dont have an Apple ID

I have been using my apple id to download apps, games etc... for my sons ipod touch. Hes not old enough to have his own id and now it looks like a credit card is required anyways? Whats the deal with that?  I want to be able to keep my sons games and apps off of our ipad and visa versa when I sync each of the devices. I have him set up on our imac with his own login, but what's the best way for me to keep our apps, movies and music separate if I have to use my apple id to download for both devices?

That way their iTunes purchases won't download or sync to your devices associated with your Apple ID.

    Never mind, disregard.  I went in and reset my password to my AirPort Express, and for some reason, it then went through, and is all working and good.

  • Sharing apps on different devices and computers

    Hi - I am not sure if this is the right place for this question, but maybe someone can help me out.  My school district purchased an app that can be loaded on up to 5 devices. The district does not have their own Itunes account, so it was loaded on to someones personal Itunes account (with all of her personal purchases as well).  I am trying to figure out how to get just this app onto my device, and then not have to use her account for anything else? My question then is, once she loads it onto my IPad, how do I go and sync to a different ITunes account - is that even possible?  Hope this makes sense to someone....! Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi jacyjflorin,
    Having multiple iTunes accounts can cause confusion.

    How have you managed to get apps on your phone that are tied to a different and unknown AppleID?
    If these apps were not purchased by you, having them is effectively software piracy and you should purchase them using your own AppleID if you want to keep hem.

    I don't think that is possible. You can manually arrange them, but there is no ability to automatically do it.

  • How can I get my App Store sign in to match my newly updated Apple ID?

    How can I get my App Store sign in to match my newly updated Apple ID?
    The old ID is already grayed in the box for my ID and it does not allow me to type in my new ID.

    I appreciate your effort and realize I did not provide a lot of background.
    My issue began when I unintentionally managed to add an additional .com onto my new apple ID and the system then incorrectly verified this "none existent" address. Following days of effort and emails to Apple support I finally ended up  getting set up with my new ID on iTunes.
    The next problem was my App store login continued to have the "old" ID grayed into the signin and since I had changed it to a new ID, I could not login at the App Store.
    I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with a total of 3 Apple reps without a resolution to me problem.
    The last Apple rep, Chad wanted to be able to take a screen shot of what I was telling him, which made no sense to me but I was willing to do what ever was required to solve the problem. Unfortunately, Chad hung up or somehow disconnected before I received the email required for allowing a screenshot. After calling back and adding another 5+ minutes invested, I decided to attempt to change back to my old ID.
    Once I had changed my ID back to the old one, I could download updates and purchases.
    I realize my question was asking a lot but my hope was someone would have some idea as to how to correct the problem Apple Support could not. It seems to me Apple needs to make a correction on their end but it is now into week two of attempting to solve the problem and I am pretty much disenchanted with Apple Support due to the amount of time and effort already invested and lack of progress.
    Thanks for your suggestion. I think it was a good one considering the lack of other information.

  • How Do I Delete An App from My iPhone When the App does not appear on my PC

    I downloaded an app directly to my iphone. I want to delete the app. Usually I simply sync to my PC, and then delete the app from itunes and it is gone when I re-sync.
    In this case the app doesn't show on the list of apps you can check or uncheck to show or not show on the iphone when syncing. Also in itunes, when I click on Devices, and then content, Apps isn't one of the choices in the drop down menu.
    How do I get this app off my iphone??

    I have the same problem on my iPhone - an app I want to delete but can't. The app in question doesn't show up on the list of apps i iTunes and doesn't show an 'X' when it starts to wiggle. All the other apps do, but not this one. It's definitely an app. How do I get rid of it, please?

    If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
    You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

  • How do I get Mac App Store on my computer? I have 10.5.8 OS. If I need to upgrade first how do I do that? It says that my software is updated.

    How do I get Mac App Store on my iMac? I have 10.5.8 OS. If I need to upgrade first how do I do that? It says that my software is updated.

    And once you get Mac OS X 10.6 installed, update it to at least 10.6.6 which was the first version to include the Mac App Store (the latest version is 10.6.8). The DVD you get will almost certainly be only 10.6.3. You can update from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 via Software Update, or you can download a standalone Combo updater (Support tab above, then Downloads).

  • How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

    How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

  • How to identify the locks in oracle db objects? i dont have access to check

    How to identify the locks in oracle db objects? i dont have access to check the v$lock or v$ objects. i dont have dba access. what are the symptoms for table, row or objects lock? how v guess it would be lock?
    Thanks in advance friends..

    I believe you will have to call your DBA on the phone in that case.
    You can query something with a select ... for update nowait.
    If it raises an exception you can handle it within a when section.

    SQL> create table t1 as select 1 col1 from dual;
    Table created
    SQL> select * from t1 for update nowait;

    But none of the details you would find in the views.
