My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!
The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

today I restore my phone, before I restored it I checked that my photos are saved on my icould, I did the backup and everything was back on my phone but not my photos! please help I need my photos back :|
Hello purpleroses68
To download any photos that were on your My Photos Stream, then you will need to have Photo Streamed turned on within your computer. Keep in mind that My Photos Stream only holds the last 30 days of photos and those will be the only one that will download. Check out the articles below for more information for the process and general information about getting your photos downloaded.
Archive or make copies of your iCloud data

already have iphones and ipads. ipads on commom icloud acct. want to place iphones and ipads on same icloud acct but kind of remember reading God knows where that I won't be able to change icloud accts once they are set up on iphones??
never posted anything before and know this looks amateurish. thanks Goofoff24If you only have iCloud's basic, free 5 GBs of storage, if you had more than this on your iPad, chances are high that your backups to iCloud weren't a complete iPad backup, anyhow. And since this has been full for 23 weeks means that you may end up only retrieving a fraction of your current data that you had on your iPad, if what you had on your iCloud backup contained anything that may still have been on your iPad.
This is just one of the reasons I do not like Cloud storage services.
The best and most reliable backup of your iPad is to use a computer with Apple iTunes installed on it and connect your iPad to your computer and let iTunes syc and backup all of your iPad's data.
I an afraid without a clear, comprehensive backup, whatever is saved to your iCloud account is all you are going to be able to retrieve.
If you have purchased anything from IOS App Store and/or iTunes on your iPad, all of iTunes and iOS App Store purchases will have to be redownload and reinstalled.
You won't get charged, again, for the purchases you had already made.
Sorry. -
I can use my apple id in itune and other other idevice, but in my macbook pro i can't sign in to my app store to download or update anythings. Anyone could help?
Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID, nor can they be updated using any ID other than the one used to originally obtain them. If the apps you're trying to update were obtained with a different ID than your current one, you have no choice but to use that ID.

I had to install iTunes on a new computer when my previous computer was lost. I tried to load my library from my ipod and it had problems. The recommendation was to find and fix errors which promptly deleted my music from my ipod. It says no music but shows the used storage like the music is still there. I've looked on my computer for previous libraries and temp files but am unable to recover my music. HELP!!!!
Restore the entire iTunes folder from the backup of the computer.

OSX Yosemite gray screen at startup, tried all Apple Support recommendations inc reinstall, now need to wipe HDD backing up from time machine, would like to backup 2days before Yosemite installation ie Mavericks help please
Do a backup, preferably 2 seperate ones.
Revert to a Previous OS X
Revert Yosemite to Mavericks
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience. -

I have tried to push mail though, switched phone off and logged off on my desktop. But I can send but not receive.
Any ideas?Hi Anne,
Is this IMAP or POP account?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...

Music on iTunes, but not on iPod; Help Please!
Here is my situation.
I recently purchased an iTunes gift card and purchased and downloaded an album this weekend without a problem. The problem arose when I transfered the album onto my iPod.
I can listen to the album on my computer through iTunes with no problem. I can listen to it on my iPod through my computer no problem. When I try to listen to the album on my iPod by itself, it does not play the album.
The album information is shown on the iPod window but my iPod scrolls through each songtrack after 1 second (without playing any of them). I have never had this problem after downloading any free content via iTunes (e.g., podcasts).
I have already deauthorized/reauthorized my computer; as well as the 5Rs, and neither option resoved the problem.
Does anyone have any experience/advice in dealing with this issue?

Shuffle will play but not charge. Help please!!!
My shuffle will play songs but when I try t plug into my computer it will not charge. My computer won't even recognize it. It only has a little bit of charge left. Does anyone know what is going on with it? Is it dying?
ThanksWell, now I'm starting to worry. I'm coming up on the 13-month mark myself.
You might indeed be correct about your 'mechanicals' evaluation, but there's no way short of disassembly, inspection and testing to determine that. Someone, sometime is just going to have to take that on.
The disassembly part looks dead easy and it should be simple to at least check for continuity from the plug down to the end of the ribbon connector. Maybe I'll buy another 'dead' one off of eBay and look into it (the first 'dead' one I tried turned out to be very much 'Alive On Arrival', no very big surprise, and is now camped in a daughter's eMac).
If you're still doing last-gasp things on your Shuffle, in the meantime, I'd be trying the following in your place:
a) Plug it into a valid charging port/dock/etc. for an extended period of time, a couple or three hours at least. You might see it mysteriously mount; this will be welcome but won't provide any real answers. If nothing else, this will allow the battery to charge if it's going to at all, albeit with no indications.
b) Log out to a Restart, then open a new/go to a different User Account with Admin privileges.
c) With iTunes off and iPS not plugged in, locate and open your lastest iPod Updater. I use 2005-11-17.
d) When it says to plug in the iPod, turn the Shuffle ON and then plug it in. Now wait for it to mount on the Desktop and to be identified in the Updater. Be patient, give it some time; I'd probably let it soak for 10-15 minutes or so.
e) If no mounting, then — with it still plugged in, if at all possible, one place where the Dock shines — manipulate the controls. Triple-click the Play/Pause, then turn the Power to OFF for 5 seconds or so, then back on. (Note: Apple instructions only call for a Reset, i.e., PWR OFF for 5 secs., but some anecdotals seem to indicate the Playlist Reset also seems to help).
f) If you have to unplug to manipulate, then do that and plug it back in
g) This might kickstart it into mounting. If so, fine. If not, unplug and turn OFF the iPS, close the Updater, then repeat from (c) above.
h) I'd give it three times through the sequence, which seems like a fair enough shot at working. -
Navigation looks find in IE & Firefox but not Safari. Help please?a
Hi,
I am fairly new to the website design world. I just created a website for a college class . I got the site to look great in Internet Explorer and FireFox but for some reason I am having a problem with Safari.
I am a mac user so I really want my site to run good in Safari. The problem lies with the navigation menu. As I said it looks good in other browsers but in Safari it appears to be longer than the rest of my page. I have tried to change everything I can thing of to get it to fit within the page. I tried specifying the #nav width, I tried changing it to auto. Before I added the scroll over drop down menu, it was fine. Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?
Side note: When I magnify the page in safari I can eventually get the navigation to fit within the page...
Take a look. http://www.calihanchiropractic.com/
I am using CS3 & CS4. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get this to fit within my page?
Thanks!
AubrieDo you have the QuickTime Plug-in for Safari?

Since lots of people do not have QuickTime or QT plug-ins installed on their system, you should offer direct links to MP3s, too.

In iphoto, I have create a diaporama which I exported to itunes as a m4v file. I would like to share this file with someone but it is too big to send it via email (84 Mo). This file is now in my films in itunes. Is there a way to share it via icloud.
I used to share files using mobileme which I cannot use anymore.
Thanks for your help,
EricHow recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...
