All purchases are always going to be associated to the ID that was used to purchase/download them.
If you create an ID for your daughter you will want to check everywhere it is used to make sure you are not sharing messages and stuff. These would be iTunes/app store, iCloud, iMessages, and FaceTime.
Go thru settings and find all mention of your ID.

At Apple Store we reset my Iphone 4s to factory settings in an unsuccessful bit to fix my Wi-fi problem. Now I'm home trying to get my contacts, pics, etc. back. I'm lost...
Okay - see if the instructions here help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521

i have an iphone and my 2 children have ipods. all 3 on the same apple id. when one ipod gets a facetime call, all 3 devices ring. how do i prevent all three devices getting the facetime call as it is intended for only one of the ipods?
You can all have independent AppleIDs for iCloud or iMessage etc, but share the same one for iTunes Store / AppStore purchases.

i need to know whether or not i will still be able to get my contacts back if i reset my phone to factory specifications
If they are synced to iCloud and appear on icloud.com, they will reappear on your phone when you sign back into your account. As a precaution, you could use an app like My Contacts Backup to back them up before you restore if you wish. I would also recommend as a precaution that you import your camera roll photos and videos to your computer before restoring, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

My account is blocked out. I registered my account for Russia because there was no that option for Ukraine. And now I can't do any purchasing, because apple store want's another payment option. What should I do? I have many apps on my account but I can't do even updating. Ps my friends here has such a problem too
Ukraine is there. It's been there for a while. I even see it now.

My daughter shares my apple id on her ipod touch. i recently got an i pad and now i'm getting all of her instant messages and face time calls. Is there a way to change her contact information for those two areas so i don't get them on my i pad but keep the same apple id for purchases? Thank you

I bought my Macbook Pro on 23rd July 2011 and was told that I was able to get the free upgrade to OS X Lion, and that it would automatically update when I register my Mac. I registered it when I first turned it all on, I then waited thinking that it might be in a system update package. This, however, never happened. Am I eligable for the free update, if so, how do I get it? I am currently running on the latest version of Snow Lepeord.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have an Early 2008 Mac Pro. You have the specs that your Mac Pro needs for more memory > https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4433#4 As you can read, that computer should have come with 2 GB of memory.
You can buy memory at OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#800-memory Those sell compatible memory with all Macs. You can use another memory, but you can be sure that the memory that these brands sell are compatible -
Bought a movie via iTunes, tried playing it and was told that it "requires Quicktime, which this version doesn't support". Any suggestions? Also why does iTunes sell a movie which you then cant watch!!!
Try restarting your iTunes in 32-bit mode, as per the following document:

since i updated my iphone to ios7, i can no longer download applications and also cannot update my apps. what happened? there is an alert popping and it tells that i should switch to Philippine store.
Hi, sallymaesmag.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are in the Philippines, check to see if the country is changed in the iTunes Store settings on the iOS device. These steps will show you how to change the preference.
Change your iTunes Store country
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. TapSettings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

Once you make the change attempt to download applications again.

My wife and i have 2 iphone 4s. Since i installed ios6 face time calls on both phones at the same time when friends try to face time me.
Also when my wife messages me her phone receives the message first in notifications barThis sounds like an Apple ID problem. Do each of you have your own Apple IDs? Are they each properly set on each phone? You might try logging out of Facetime and iMessage, then logging back in. This often fixes connectivity issues.

Hi, I would like to install my Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard - I got the serial number and disk, but you are asking for another product and serial number that I dont have? What should I do?
The serial number that you might have is an upgrade version & it will be asking for a previous qualifying version serial number.
The issue can be different too, please contact Adobe Support for resolution: http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6

I have Lion on my IMac and it is hooked up to I Cloud, however, even though all settings are correct I am not getting auto sync of calendars to my I Mac from my IPHone 4S or my iPad 1. Neither am I getting Photfrom my IPhone to my I Mac?
Can someone set me straight?Check system preferences to make sure you have iCal and your photostream checkmarked to TRUE.
If you still have problems, give us more details.
Also, make sure the calendar in iCal you're using/looking at is not "On My Mac", but actually an iCloud one.
