My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

Hi cindy,
If you all have individual Apple IDs, then you would be able to dowload music from a shared iTunes library on a computer, but you would not be able to sign on each individual ID on an iOS device in order to download music purchased under the original Apple ID without a 90-day waiting period between sign-ons.
Here's what I mean:
If you were to sign on a new Apple ID on, say, an iPhone, and then were to purchase and download some music from iTunes, then you would have to wait 90 days before you could sign on the old Apple ID to that iPhone in order to download previously purchased material (and vice versa).
However, if all of the music purchased by that origjnal Apple ID is in an iTunes library on a shared computer, then you can hook up the device and selectively sync any music in that library to the device. You can also sign on any of the Apple IDs to that shared iTunes library and purchase music to be added to the library.
You would need to authorize the computer for each of the new Apple IDs.
Each of the Apple IDs would also be able to download that music purchased either by syncing to the iTunes library on the computer or by downloading it OTA on the device.
So, each Apple ID can download music, movies, etc. purchased with that Apple ID OTA to the device. Also each Apple ID can sync any music, movies, etc. that are in the iTunes library on the computer regardless of who purchased them.
The only other thing you would need to remember is that if an App needed to be updated, then the original Apple ID that was used to purchase that App would come up, and the password that goes with that Apple ID would be required to do the update.
Hope that helps,
GB

  • Is there any way to make an image smaller to upload to a site which says it will resize it to fit an 649 pixel without losing the sides which contain words

    How to scale down without cutting the edges out of a poem so that it will fit a 649 pixel size which the site I'm uploading it to says it will resize it down to ?
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thank you,
    SeanCeltiad

    See my own reply, and Thank you for trying to help me. It was not letting me "scale the original scanned pic down in pixel size without cutting off the edges and since this was a poem I was wanting to upload to a site which said it would have to put it up with a 649 W( I assume pixel is what they meant ) since when I tried it-it was too large for the window into which I was dragging it. But as I said, I was able to do it using my printer/scanners profile settings for photo's down from 200% to 150% which worked perfectly.
    So, Thank you Michael for taking the time to assist me and if anyone else is having the same trouble using iPhoto '09 you could suggest this possibility.

  • My computer broke and I got it fixed. It doesn't say that the hard-drive was replaced, but I can tell my data is gone, including Pages that I bought. Is there any way of getting that without paying for it again?

    Or if you purchased Pages as part of iWork on a disk, reinstall from the same disk.
    Best of luck.

  • Hello, is there any way of having a reboot disk for lion that I'm downloading, like the one I have with snow leopard ?

    Hello, is there any way of having a reboot disk for lion that I'm downloading, like the one I have with snow leopard ?

    Once the Lion download is complete quit the installer and follow these directions. The file you need to make a boot disk disappears after you install Lion.

    However, the Lion installation includes a recovery partition. It won't be of help if your entire HD dies but is very handy otherwise. This Knowledge Base article has a lot of good information about Lion's recovery partition.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

    In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
    Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
    As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
    Best wishes

    I use

    and
    Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/)
    Both work very well. The former I use for manual, one-way synchroniziation of (nearly) entire systems. The latter for automatic syncing of very active directories through local and shared online storage.

  • Iphone 4S newly updated to iOS8, keeps popping up window notifying me of things I turned off (cell usage, location, etc) to preserve battery life.  Is there any way to make them stop telling me every time I use the affected apps?

    I have finally taken the step of updating my iPhone 4S to iOS8 after learning the hard way last update to wait for the bugs to be worked out.  I was horrified to find that the battery was being sucked dry in no time at all.  After finding a great article posted elsewhere on the apple forums, I went through and turned off all unnecessary options involving the use of cell data, location services and background refreshing.  My battery life has thankfully returned to what it was before the update.  
    HOWEVER, now, every time I open an app for which I turned these things off, the window informing me of that pops up.   I am getting really irritated by this as I made all of these decisions deliberately and am well aware that I may need to go back and change them in order to activate certain capabilities when I want to use them.  I had done the same thing with the last iOS, but there were far fewer that needed to be turned off and the battery life seemed to be less affected by those that I left on so it was not the annoyance it has become now.
    Is there any way to make the phone stop presenting me with these idiot messages?   TIA

    Sorry no, there isn't a way to turn off those reminders.

  • Is there any way to make my iPod THE iTunes Library?

    Is there any way to make my iPod THE iTunes Library? I would like to free up all the space my iTunes Library takes up on my MacBook Pro, so I was considering purchasing an portable external hard drive to hold my iTunes Library…then it dawned on me… why shouldn’t I just be able to use my iPod for this? But not as simply a hard drive, but be able to access my songs on the iPod the same as I do now?

    You can delete all the songs from your computer and just keep them on the iPod by changing the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos". In manual mode you can connect and play the songs from your iPod through iTunes on your computer. You can get details here: Managing content manually on iPod
    One major word of caution. If you delete songs from your computer and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem (and that's a very strong possibility). You should reconsider your original idea of investing in an external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up songs you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Is there any way to make Mail open next message?

    Is there any way to make Mail open the next message on the inbox automatically after deleting, forwarding o saving a message?
    I mean, is there any way to, after reading a message, going to the next or previous message without double clicking the main inbox window?
    I used (on windows) to read mail on outlook, or even on entourage for mac, and after I read a message, even if I deleted it, forward it, replied it, or even saving it on a folder, automatically the program (outlook, entourage, hotmail, etc) opened the next message on the inbox, but I am not able to find any way to make Mail do that.
    Is there a way to it? Or should I provide suggestions to Apple?
    By the way, no meant to prefer microsoft for this, I just think this is a cool feature for reading several messages one after another without going back to the main inbox page and double clicking the message to read...
    Thanks for any help

    Down-arrow, Return. Return opens the selected message. I read through hundreds of messages without ever touching the mouse. Once you get used to the keystrokes, Mail is extremely efficient.

  • Is there any way to create admin role only for one resource.

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create an admin role with 'update user' capability. But I want to restrict the user(with the admin role) to be able to update a user's attribute only for one resource, The user(with the admin role) should not be able to update the attributes of the other resources which a user have.
    Is there any way to create admin role only for one resource?
    I customized the tabbed user form to show only one resource attribute (deleting the missing fields and adding my tab for the resource) and then assigned this new User Form to the user(with the admin role) in security tab.
    It works fine. But the problem is that if any user(with the admin role) is also admin of some other resource then he/she will not be able to view the other resource attributes.
    Please suggest,
    thanks

    The loop function always repeats the same region so of course the fade is also copied. So option+drag the original region to make a (non clone) copy, fade the first region and loop the second one (which you just copied).

  • Is there any way to make copies of the maser image in LR3?

    Is there any way to make copies of the maser image in LR3?
    I do a lot of sports and dance photography and I need a way to make multiple copies of an image to drag into different folders in LR3.
    Example:  One dancer may be on several teams and I need to make copies of the team photos to put in each dancers folder before I upload them to my E Commerce site so each dancer see's their team photo with their individual photos in the same folder online.
    I know I can make virtual copies, but you cannot drag them to different folders as copies, it will move the virtual with the master.
    If they would just let us hold ALT or any key while dragging to "copy" instead of  "move", my problem would be solved.
    For now I have to go into Windows, make copies ,then synch the folders again. Pain in the rear to do that.
    Anyone have any experience here?
    Thanks

    Ron,
    I too need to make "Real Copies" of images and hate doing anything directly from the OS because of the chance that my LR catalog gets out of Sync with the actual images on the computer.  So I make the copies inside LR with an export routine and then move the copies inside of LR with the normal drag and drop.  Once the export preset is created it can be executed from the Library Grid by right-clicking on the image (or selected images) to make the copies.  My settings are as follows in case you are interested:
    This is the first time I have posted an image before and I am not sure if you will be able to read it or not.  The contents from the export preset in the image above are as follows if that helps:
