I want only one apple ID for all my devices

I have an apple ID and so does my wife. Between the four family members we 8 plus apple devices. I want to put everything on hers and just have one. Mine has the least amount of music and apps. Can it be done? How do you do it without losing anything?

What exactly are you wanting to do. It is a little unclear from your post. You've also posted in the iTunes Match forum. Does your question have something to do with iTunes Match?
Keep in mind that if you all have your own content purchased with indvidual iTunes Store accounts, trying to consolidate is going to cause everyone big headaches. But if you give us more details perhaps we can help you sort it out.

HT5622 We family wants to use only one apple ID for all devices ie iMac ( 4 persons sharing desktop), IPads (2nos) how we should be going about sharing same

And how to create separate log in IDs for each person on IMac PCM.
I am first time user of IMac,

iCloud is not designed for multi-user use. If everyone has the same login, then they will all see the same emails, contacts, calendars and so on. If you want them to be separate then everyone needs their own Apple ID and iCloud account. Each separate iCloud account needs to be on a different device or a different user account on your Mac.
You should be aware that any one device can create a maximum of three iCloud accounts, so with more than three you will have to set up remaining accounts on another device - you can do this from iPads so you shouldn't have a problem.

WES610N - only one MAC address for all connected devices

Hi! I use a WES610N 4-port WLAN bridge to connect my audio and video devices (Pioneer AV receiver, Samsung TV set and a WD Live TV box) to my E4200 router upstairs. This works fine and the WLAN connection works stable and fast. There's a Synology 212j NAS running DM 3.2 connected to my E4200 router. On this NAS a DLNA/UPnP media server is running to stream audio and video from the NAS to my Receiver, to my TV set and to the WD Live TV box. Audio and video is ok but i also want to send photos from the NAS direct to the TV and WD Live. To see the photos in the correct solution i have to configure a DLNA profile on the media server for each DLNA client which connects to the media server. I have to configute this based on the device name, IP address and MAC address shown in the clinet list of the media server. So far so good - and here's my problem: Every device connected to the WES610N is seen with the same MAC address - the one of the WES610 - by the media server. This confuses the server and it's not possible to assign a DLNA profile to each of the devices (TV, Receiver, WD box) because the IP - MAC pairing always changes when one of the devices sends data packets to the media server. So the assigned profile configuration gets lost and switches back to standard DLNA profile and photos can not be displayed correct by the devices. So what i would need is that every device connected to the WES610N is seen by the media server by it's on MAC address. Is there a solution or are there plans to implement this in future firmware versions? Thx, BR Christian

You can try the following combination of settings :-
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your routers main/ basic setup page)
4] Then click on Security tab disable SPI Firewall Protection, uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the user name field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
Then check the connectivity status...

How i can have only one Apple ID for everything my computer and tab and iphone?

How I can have only one Apple ID for evrything, my computer Iphone

Thats how the majority of people use iCloud. All you need to do is sign into the same account on all of your devices.

Greetings: I have multiple iPads and iPhones. I want all to be able to be able to stream to our Apple TV. All of the docs I see say you must have the same Apple ID for all the devices, but we each have our own Apple ID. Is this just a doc short coming?

You can each have your own ID for your own iTunes accounts, but in order for a device to stream via AirPlay to the same Apple TV, everything must use the same homesharing ID. This is not the same as your iTunes account ID (although it can be for one of the devices)

Then there should be no issue for you.

Then there is more than one Apple ID involved.... Or a Restrictions Passcode has been set.

My family has multiple iPhones. Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?

If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account. You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

How to force RH9 to use only one master stylesheet for all Word imports?

I have set a stylesheet (css) as the default for my RH9 WebHelp project in project settings. When I import Word documents into the project, the edit import setting dialog does not show this stylesheet in the list of available stylesheets for the import.
What is happening instead is a proliferation of unwanted stylesheets derived from all the imported documents. I then have to manually re-set all the new topics to the master stylesheet.
How can I stop this, and force RH9 to use only the one master stylesheet for all imports?

cid:[email protected]
Hi Peter,
That’s what I thought I was doing in the Project Settings>Import tab>CSS for Style Mapping selection. Maybe that isn’t what it’s meant to do. It’s just getting annoying having all these unneeded files popping up in the project manager so that I have trouble distinguishing the “real” topics from the extra stuff.

Should you use only one smtp address for all email accounts?

My iPhone and iPad will not send mail from either of two email accounts. Ive checked the smtp settings and passwords several times. I have several email accounts with different providers/servers though, so should there only be one server chosen for all? Cant figure out why my email won't send! Anyone know an answer?

No. Each mail provider has its own SMTP server. And you won't be able to send email from one provider's email account through another provider's smtp server.
Each account should have its provider's SMTP server set as its Primary Server. And The rest of the smtp servers should be turned off for that particular account.

Only one ringtone works for all contacts despite them having separate rings

I have 25 rings (is that too much?)
And 33 contacts. The majority of them have their own ringtone.
However, despite me assigning them a ringtone-- only one tone (the one assigned under "Sounds" plays for all of them.
I didn't have this problem before.

You said you did not have this problem "Before", before what? What changed?
33 is no too much, I have 50-60 or so, w/o issue.
Try Resetting the iPhone
Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home button at the bottom center of the face at the same time. Hold them both until you see the screen go black and the white Apple logo appear. When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.
I have not seen this issue before, so basic troubleshooting may help.

I want only one Apple acct....please!

I have 4 Apple related accounts: 2 "apple.com", 1 "daw.apple.com", 1 "secure1.store.apple.com"
How can I have only one acct. for Apple, iTunes, Cloud, etc.?

Each email address you use is a different account and can't be merged. Apple says:
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
I do not know what the "daw" account is. I thing the "store" account is for Apple on-line store from which yo can purchase hardware. That is sperate to the Apple ID you use on the iPod but yo can use the same email address.

Only one X session for all normal users combined possible

Hi, I'm currently experimenting with the new xorg-server 1.16 with which it is possible to start and run the X server as a user.
Setup: No display manager running. startx is used. No modifications of global xserverrc or other files.
~/.xinitrc looks like this for all users:
startxfce4
As root it is possible to start multiple X sessions (on different virtual terminals of course).
But as a user only one X session is possible.
After user flo has started a X session on tty1, the following occurs:
Permissions for tty2 before startx
crw------- 1 boolian tty 4, 2 24. Jul 10:24 /dev/tty2
If I try to start a second X session via startx on another virtual terminal (here: tty2), the process aborts with the following message:

After this unsuccessful call to startx, the permissions for the tty2 have changed, but only the owner not the rwx flags.
crw------- 1 root tty 4, 2 24. Jul 10:24 /dev/tty2
Interestingly the permissions for the tty with the running X server stay as expected all the time.
crw------- 1 flo tty 4, 1 24. Jul 10:37 /dev/tty1
My first guess was, that the suid bit of Xorg.wrap has something to do with it. But I moved the binary and the behavior stayed the same.
Another guess is, that systemd-logind has something to do with it as it is repsonsible for the permissions (see [0] and [1]).
Can anybody reproduce this behaviour?
Has anybody hints where to go next? I'm currently building a new kernel with the audit framework enabled to check which process changes the permission of the tty when startx is called.
I'm reluctant to open a bug report as I know too little about the problem or whether it is a bug at all.
Greetings.

Look at the last block in PATH and the block before the last. The ouid changes (owner of file) but there is no process which does this.
Am I deciphering this right?

HT204053 why does my ipad "Apple Store" app, not recognize me when i try to log in using my apple id? i use only one apple id for both store and iCloud and know i am keying correctly. hmmm.

we use a pc to hold all of our media but are two ppl in the household. we both log into itunes and apple store using our own passwords. recently on my ipad i was no longer able to upgrade/log in the apple store because when it asks for my password it prompts for my partners password and it doesn't recognize me. also, oddly, my partner added an app that i also want to add on his ipad. when i attempted to add that app using my apple id log in it thinks i'm him and prompts for his password on my ipad therefore leaving me no way to have that app. how do i get my app store to function again (recognize me) and how can we finally figure out how to separate the media so i don't get his apps on my devices and mine on his (and then not be able to access them b/c we don't share passwords)? please help.

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.

I updated my iPhone with latest update. I was asked if I wanted to communicate with iCloud for all my devices. I chose yes. I than am told I need to check my email to verify my account and there is not an email for apple to verify

I updated both my iPad and iPhone with latest update. Love it! However, I wanted to use the find iPhone using iCloud feature. From the beginning of update it kept prompting me to verify my account when I wanted to use iCloud ??? Apple kept telling me to check my email to verify my account and there is not an email from them. And I'm not talking about verifying by my alternate email which I was successful at.

Blue
It sounds like you restored from an old back-up. Did you back-up just before your software update? It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
Sorry for your losses.
Cheers

I want only one apple ID for all my devices
