I have two time capsules (1TB, 2TB) and want to use one for another set of Macs (my Family). How do I set both up and keep all the Macs from joining both Time Capsules?

I Have two Time Capsules (1TB and 2TB) and want to set one for business and the other for family - networking seperate Macs to each.

Both should be plugged into the network with ethernet.. if at all possible.
If you have a router already then both bridged otherwise one set to router and one to bridge.
How do you access the TC? Ethernet or wireless?
Are they located in the same area?
You could set different wireless networks.. if they use wireless.. this is nice easy way to do it.
You can set user account in the TC you want the business one to join with.. that will prevent access by the family.
So there is a number of ways.. none are particularly secure btw.. the TC is a home not a business device.. if anybody wants access they press the reset for one second.. pofff all the passwords are default for 5min.. to allow people who forget their password to get access.
On ML you can encrypt TM backups.. this is better for security if that is the problem.. and still use different user profile to prevent access.

    Sorry, content bought with one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

  • TS3899 I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone

    I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone with an email address!!! how do I UNDO? it says all CONTACTS WILL BE DELETED...when I go to turn CONTACTS to OFF.

    Any contacts synced with the Yahoo account will be deleted from the phone if you turn it off. They will still be out there in Yahoo land, so if you turn it off and it deletes something you didn't want to, just turn it back on again.
    It's extremely unclear what you did when you say " I only created contacts and typed in emails that I had for those contacts.....so I am still not sure how to UNdo what I did without deleting anything"
    Undo WHAT, exactly? You said "I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name."
    Just turn it off.

    did an update for my 4s now it tells me i need to connect to itunes but phone wont connect to itunes also i have got ios6 on my screen and thats all the phone will do

    They will be gone from the iphone, but you should be syning all contacts to your computer regularly and should be importing all pics to your computer regularly, particularly before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?

  • How to sinc two computers and get all the files from both

    Not sure if this is the right forum for the issue, but... I have a iMac G5 and a MacBook, and I use one or the other for my work. That way I get part of my work on one, and other part on the other Mac. Now, I would like to sinc both of them, so that I have all the files from iMac on the MB, vice versa. I know that I could go slowly and use an external hard drive, copy files from one computer, save on another, but is there any handier and faster way to do it?
    Thanks

  • How do I Sync two songs to my ipod with out syncing my entire library and keeping all the song that are curantly on my ipod PLZ HELP SOMEONE

    my computer crashed and i lost all of my songs. i got some of them back but i can't get some others back. i have these awsome new songs i want on my ipod but i can't sync becuase that will delete all of the other song that i clould not recover from my i pod. how do i sync the two awsome songs on to my i pod with out syncing anything else and keeping all of the non recoverable songs on my ipod? someone PLZ HELP

    Unlikely to be possible.
    The iPhone/iPod Touch is designed to only sync to one computer at a time.
    What you are attempting to do is sync to a 2nd computer, even though it is likely the exact same computer.
    The only option that might be possible is using the manually manage music on this device option.

  • We have 3 iPads 3 iPhones 3 Apple id's.  We want to use 1 calendar we can all access on each device and have each device update or sync and we all receive notifications from the one calendar. We do not want to share photos contacts, ect.  Please help

    We have 3 Apple Id's, each ID using an iPad and an iPhone (3 id's, 3 iPads, 3 iPhones). We want to use one calendar on all 6 devices and have that one calendar update or sync to all devices.  We would like all 6 devices to provide notifcations from the one unique calendar as well.  We do not want to share contacts, photos, ect.  Please suggest how to achieve this, with the name of the calendar, if I am to get one from the App store, and how to set this up.  Please talk in easy terms as I am technically Challenged. Thank you.  3 iPad air 2, 2 iPhone 6 plus, 1 iPhone 4s.

    Hello there MizzouTrojan,
    If I understand correctly you want all 6 devices to have access to a single calendar that each device gets notifications for and can edit. You can do that with an private iCloud shared calendar. First sign into www.icloud.com and use these steps from the following article to share a calendar:
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    Share a calendar privately
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
    Note:    You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.” 
    Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
    Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only). 
    For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
    When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
    Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

    We have two iphones, an ipad2 and ipad mini.  The iphones have no difficulity discovering the air printers on our network.  However the ipads cannot locate air printers.  If the ipads are switched off/on they can find the printers but only for a one time use.  Then they can no longer find printers.  Any suggestions?

    You are most welcome

  • HT4910 Have two phones with same apple id as I got one for my hubbie .he tried to back up his numbers in I cloud . Our contacts have now merged and neither can delete from our phone without it coming off the other . Any ideas how we can stop this

    Have two iPhones with the same id as I got hubbie one in week and when I got it they asked for email address so I gave the one we use, so when my husband started phone up he just put my password in. When he tried to back his numbers on iCloud they all appeared on my phone and now I can't delete his numbers without them deleting on his phone as well . Any help would be appreciated.

    You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). 
    Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

  • I have already got Firefox Home sync'd on my iphone from my old PC, but my old PC has been whiped. Now I want to set up my sync account on my new pc and retain all the bookmarks from my account. How do I do this?

    Right, first I had a PC then sync'd my bookmarks to my iphone...Now my PC has died. I have a new PC and wish to sync my bookmarks back to my new PC.. But I cant seem to do this because the sync process on my new pc asks me to 'add a new device' which I dont want to do... So I click 'I dont have the device with me' and even then I can't get a sync key because there is no way to find it on the iphone app. I have looked back through my emails to see if I was ever sent one by email, but I can't find it.
    SO basicly it looks like I am going to loose all my bookmarks that I want to transfer onto my new pc. Unless I manualy add in the bookmarks from my phone onto the new PC on firefox and create a new sync account?

    I'm having a similar problem, but I do have the key and is not working anyway.
    My old pc was running on windows 7 and my new one is an apple running on Lion.
    My phone is an Iphone IV and I can see all the bookmarks there.
    In order to sync, what I did was click on the "I don't have the device with me", I entered the key that was provided and the process finish ok. It says congratulations, etc, etc.
    But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.
    Any suggestions?

  • HT2204 My husband and I have the same apple id. We would like to each have our own. He will keep the original one, but how do I get a new apple Id and keep all the things I have associated with the old apple id?

    My husband and I use the same apple Id. We would like to each have our own apple id, but we do not want to lose all our information associated with the current id. One of us will keep the original. If one us creates a new apple id how will that affect the iPhone and iTunes?

    That would be my suggestion.  Just keep using the common one for purchases in the stores.  Then each get another AppleID using a free gmail, AOL, hotmail, MS Live or whatever email account.
    Delete your current iCloud account and login with the new AppleID, and logout of Messaging and then backin with the new AppleID.  Now you have a shared iTunes/App store account, but completely separate, independent iCloud and iMessage accounts.
    You can still share calendars if you wish to, even across separate accounts - http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2690

    iPod classic?
    Recover media from iPod
    See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
    ... or iPod touch?
    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!
