Too many id's need help setting up family sharing

We currently have one apple id (tjc) that is associated with the apple store and one that is associated with itunes (m7). The itunes one (m7) does not have an icloud account attached to it, used only for purchases from itunes store. Husband uses the apple store id (tjc) and I have my own (jj). Can I set up family sharing with the itunes id (m7) as the purchaser? Or how do I keep all my itunes purchases if we make husbands/apple store id (tjc) the primary?
Currently running OS X yosemite and ios 8 on an imac, iphones, and ipads.
Thanks for your assistance!

Hi bremaura,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to havde all purchases from one Apple ID available in Family sharing. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
Family Sharing - Apple Support
All your family’s purchases, on all your family’s devices.
Once you’ve set up Family Sharing, all the eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps ever purchased by family members are immediately available to everyone else in the family. And, of course, so are new purchases.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

Need help setting up a shared /Library/Fonts folder for font sharing

Hi,
I have a problem setting up a shared /Library/Fonts folder on my OSX 10.5.5 server that gets automounted on the OSX 10.5.x clients.
While I managed to get the folder to show up automatically under /Network/Library/Fonts on the clients, the fonts in these folders do not show up in Font Book on the client systems. Plus, it seems like there is some sort of language mismatch, since I am using a German OSX installation. While the shared /Library/Fonts folder does show up under the "Network" area (where the servers are listed), it does not connect correctly on the "/Netzwerk" folder that OS X creates automatically. In fact there are 2 folders named "/Netzwerk" on my startup drive root directory, one that reads "/Network" when looking at it in the terminal, and one named "/Netzwerk". The /Network one does have a working link to the /Library folder, and the /Netzwerk one does only contain something looking like an alias of /Library, but it does not allow any access to this alias.
If anybody did manage to get this Netowrk "/Library/Fonts" to work I would be happy for some feedback. I am simply not sure if this is related to a localization bug, or if I am doing something wrong here. The fact that the folder and the fonts does show up correctly under the network portion of the sidebar seems to indicate that my setup is correct, but still the fonts do not work.
Any ideas, or maybe a step-by-step description on how to set this up would be great.
Thanks a lot,
Floh

Hi, Sorry I don't have an answer for you. But how did you get to share /Library/Fonts? I was trying to do the same thing by using "File Sharing" in Server administrator. But under volumes, I don't see my root directory "/". So there is no way that I can share any of my folders under "/".
Thanks.

Too many real instruments; Need help bouncing tracks

Hello, I've been using GarageBand to record a demo for my band. Unfortunately, I've hit my peak number of real instrument tracks. I have a lot of tracks that are the same (well, not EXACTLY the same, but the same musical part), where one is panned left and the other is panned right. Is there a way I can take tracks like these and bounce them down to one stereo track without losing quality or the panning of the tracks? Thanks a ton.
-Kevin

I use an external FireWire drive which I move between machines and rooms, thus I plug in to the iBook and record, unplug and plug into the iMac and mix.
You could copy the files (they'll be huge) over ethernet, or airport (You could get a cheap hub or router for hooking the machines up. In fact, CompUSA has a 4 port (and wireless) router on sale this week for $4.99 <sic> after rebate), or perhaps burn them to CD-RW/DVD-RW.
how many more tracks do you think I'd be able to get out of my iMac G5
I'm not sure. I think the max I have done so far was 36 (that got pared down to 34). I guess some day I'm going to have to try this myself, see how far I can actually get. I remember doing a simple none Real World test months ago (I'm sure the post is gone by now <sigh>) in which I simply compared my iBook's internal drive an an external drive.
Unfortunately in trying to make the test doable in a reasonable amount of time I only recorded 1 minute tracks, and I'm sure that's a factor, but I seem to recall getting more than 40 with GB(1) and the external drive.

Look at the following:
SQL> begin
2          raise no_data_found;
3 end;
4 /
begin
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at line 2
The error code the caller executing this code receive is -01403. A unique error number that has a known and specific meaning.
In addition, the error stack tells the caller that this unique error occurred on line 2 in the source code.
The caller knows EXACTLY what the error is and where it occurred.
SQL> begin
2          raise no_data_found;
3 exception when OTHERS then
4          raise_application_error(
5                  -20000,
6                  'oh damn some error happened. the error is '||SQLERRM
7          );
8 end;
9 /
begin
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20000: oh damn some error happened. the error is ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at line 4
In this case the caller gets the error code -20000. It is meaningless as the same error code will be use for ALL errors (when OTHERS). So the caller will never know what the actual real error is.
For the caller to try and figure that out, it will need to parse and process the error message text to look for the real error code. A very silly thing to do.
In addition, the error stack says that the error was caused by line 4 in the code called.. except that this is the line that raised the meaningless generic error and not the actual line causing the error.
There are 3 basic reasons for writing an exception handler:
- the exception is not an error
- the exception is a system exception (e.g. no data found) and needs to be turned into meaningful application exceptions (e.g. invoice not found, customer not found, zip code not found, etc)
- the exception handler is used as a try..finally resource protection block (which means it re-raises the exception)
If your exception handler cannot tick one of these three reasons for existing, you need to ask yourself why you are writing that handler.

I have an apple id with verizon and @me and i can't set up family sharing

i need help setting up family sharing because i have two apple id's one with verizon and one @me.com so i already purchased more storage on the cloud with verizon and when i signed in on the desktop to upload my library and set up homesharing i had to do another 9.99/mo plan because that computer only allows me to sign in with @me.com. I've read that I can't combine them?? So how can I fix this? Any easy solution?

Howdy Denise,
It is not possible to combine Apple IDs. See this article -
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
You can set up Family Sharing using one of your Apple IDs by following the directions in this article -
iCloud: Family Sharing
Note in particular that in order to set up Family Sharing you need a Mac computer running Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).
This article provides a good overview of Family Sharing and what you can do with it -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

HOW TO?: Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

Teresa,
I think the best way for someone to volunteer to help you would be for them to send you a Private Message (PM) here on the forums. You should see a small envelope in the upper right corner of the screen, when it changes color you will know you have a PM to view.
I would be happy to help, but since I am in North Texas I don't think that is a viable option Sorry....

Need help setting up and configuring rsync

Hello
I need help setting up, or rather configuring rsync to sync data between my brand new iMac and my Macbook Air.
Here is what I would like to:
- I want all of the files on both machines to be an exact mirror or copy of each other. Basically I have an iMac for at home, and then a Macbook Air for the road.
- The main folder on both Macs is called 'Sara' and I want the contents (mainly the 'movies' folder, 'music' folder, 'documents' folder and 'pictures' folder) to immediately sync up with each other when both of them are on my home network.
- this means if I'm working on a file at home on my Macbook, it will immediately write to the same directory on my iMac and vice versa (if I'm working on file(s) on my iMac, it will immediately save the contents to my Macbook). This way, if I'm working on last minute project my iMac, and then have to head out the door to the airport, the file is immediately saved to my Macbook (no usb for USB transfer).
- hopefully this makes sense??
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

It's a lofty but unrealistic goal. Rsync does not run automatically. There is no realistic method of instantaneously synching two computers over the internet or even on a LAN.
I would suggest you might try using Synk Pro which, in theory, can keep two devices in sync when they are both on the same network (and both have shared and mounted drives.)
If you must do this with rsync then I suggest a Google search for rsync tutorials.

I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

Two different things
If you forgot the password
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up

Need help Setting up Multiple Static Ip , 1 for each port of the fios router

Need help Setting up multiple Static Ip on my fios router
I have been trying to figure out how to set up multiple ip in my fios router.
However I kind of managed how to set up multiple static ip However the way I want it is for each port of my router to have an external ip signed to it. ( like 4 different modem in 1 )
Verizon gave me 5 static ip but they can not help me how to set it up.
Have anyone here done more then one static ip on different ports? I assume that the process will be the after the second static ip.

You want to set up Static Nat. You will not assign the IP to a port, but rather to a local machine. Figure out what machines you want your IP's to go to. Under the firewall section you will see static nat. Pick the machine you want and enter one of the IP's you were assigned.

Need help setting up outlook mail on ipad2

downloaded the outlook app, need help setting it up.

Is it actually called Outlook, or is it called Outlook Mail Pro or Outlook Mail Complete or something like that? Those apps are actually by separate companies (ie, not Microsoft), and I don't personally have experience with them, but here are links to their support sites which should have the information you need (or an email address you can write to):
Outlook Mail Pro: http://support.codebeforedawn.com/customer/portal/topics/38871-outlook-mail-pro
