Basic Questions, I know, but ....
Can you sync more than one iPod to your iTunes on one computer? Can you have two different 'accounts' (for lack of a better word) for each iPod? And can you use another brand of mp3 player with iTunes? I have an iPod and use it with iTunes ... and someone gave my daughter a little 'mini' mp3 player for her to use. I would like to keep it on iTunes if possible, and she doesn't have her own computer ... any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
*Can you sync more than one iPod to your iTunes on one computer?*
Yes, you can sync as many as you like. There are several different ways to use two or more iPods with one computer, have a look at this help page for suggestions and choose the method that suits you best: How to use multiple iPods with one computer
*Can you have two different 'accounts' (for lack of a better word) for each iPod?*
No idea what this means. If you mean can you create separate Mac user accounts on your computer and sync an iPod from the library contained in each then the answer is yes. See the link above.
If you mean can you sync an iPod from multiple computers or libraries then the answer is not quite, to use an iPod with multiple computers/libraries you need to manage it manually: Using iPod with Multiple computers
*And can you use another brand of mp3 player with iTunes?*
There used to be a few non Apple branded players that would connect with iTunes for Mac, some of the Creative ones for example. Not sure if there are a still any that do this. iTunes for Windows is only compatible with the iPod.iPhone range and any of the Motorola phones that were designed to be compatible. You are probably out of luck with regular generic MP3 players.

Naive question but here goes.
As a family we have one Apple ID. All devices are synced via my PC and backed up to it rather than to iCloud.
Books purchased via Kindle App appear on all the devices within the "cloud" option. How do I separate each reader's prefernce to their own device? I want to make sure that the younger one's dont have access to anything unsuitable.
Thanks.You can have one AppleID for your purchases so that all teh devices can use all the apps without having to buy them again, and at the same time, have different iCloud accounts for each user so that their content is not intermingled with everyone else's. You can even go so far as to have your iCloud Account enabled for "Find my iPhone" for each of the other devices allowing you to keep track of where tehy are when they get misplaced.
If you need/want, you can share iCloud Calendars between different iCloud accounts as well. This is exactly what my wife & I have done. We share calendars so I know when she has classes or dog competitions, and she can see my work schedule so she knows what nights I have to be in late, etc. -
In the past, when I want to refresh a page, I've simply gone to the page reload icon on the toolbar. On the new version, I can't fin the reload icon. Sorry I know this is a very stupid question,, but I just can't find that reload icon. The toolbar is a lot different from previous versions, but I'm sure tht pesky icon must be there somewhere!!
Hi merren,
Not a stupid question at all :) You should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36 this article with common questions after upgrading].
You could also benefit from the looking at the article on [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars customizing the tool bar]. That will show you not only how to verify that you have the refresh button, but give you options on where it lives as well.
Hopefully this helps! -
Silly Question I know but I'm a Newbie!
Besides Apple's own mail can the iPhone run any other email software e.g. thunderbird, etc.?
MarkI'm worried that when I collect emails on my iPhone she wont be able to collect those (same) emails via her powerbook (as I will already have collected them). My thought was; if I could use say Thunderbird on my iPhone and collect mail she would be able to collect the same mail via Apple's mail on her powerbook.
That's not how collecting mail works, really. The email client doesn't matter *at all*--it depends on whether the account is POP or IMAP and what settings are in use.
I have a POP account that is set up to download messages and then leave them on the server (this requires setting the POP settings in both Mail desktop and Mail iPhone that way). So all my messages get downloaded both in Mail and on my phone as new, unread, messages.
A POP account set to delete from server after downloading would cause the problem you cite. An IMAP account would download the messages everywhere, but would mark the ones you had already read as Read when your wife downloaded them, and if your wife deleted a message that wasn't for her, it would also get deleted for you.
Google POP vs IMAP for more, and see what your email provider offers, and check the settings.
Not such a silly question---it's a bit complicated. -
Daft question maybe but can the IOS 7 software be erased and an older version put on an iphone 5??????
Apple offers no supported way to do it. As such any other non supported ways that may exist cannot be discussed in these forums.
No that if you try any of the non supported ways you may void your warranty and forfeit any support from Apple including these forums.
Yoiu can use Google to find ways of doing this at your own risk. -
Stupid question I know, but how do I answer an incoming call on a Kestrel?
????
Hi
You should get a little green phone that you just slide across the screen to answer the call.
Let me know how you get on.
Thanks. -
I brought this laptop (L477-S5975) win7 for my daughter last xmas, she put a admins password in it to keep her daughter off it. She was using IE.
Guess what??...she forgot it.
Now what?
For some reason there was no recovery disk included,I suspect Best Buy takes it out to continue their business with me.
RichardI have yet to see a Toshiba prompt you to make the recovery disks nor have I seen any come with the blank disks.
You have to create a set of recovery disks from the hidden recovery partition by using the Recovery Disk Creator. Go to "Start - All Programs - Toshiba - Recovery - Recovery Disk Creator". Information on using the Hard Drive Based Recovery Process and creating the disks normally begins on or about page 58 to 60 of your User's Guide. The User's Guide is found on your hard drive in Adobe Acrobat Format and can be downloaded from the Product Support Link at the top of this page.
If you didn't make them and can not do so now you'll need to purchase a replacement set as per this post.
http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/System-Recovery-and-Recovery/Recovery-media/td-p/9148 The disks are free but Toshiba highly overcharges you $25.00 for shipping.
On many of the newer systems they call if Recovery Media Creator rather than Recovery Disk Creator. They both amount to the same thing but RMC allows you to create Recovery USB Thumb Drives as well as DVD disks.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time. -
If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on the computer that will install it, will my WIFI still work on the computer that cannot be upgraded? I know this is a very basic question. Trying to hold out as long as I can, but purchasing an iPhone for Christmas and new iMac next year when warrently expires.
Thank U very much for the quick reply, I wanted to upgrade this weekend, but still on the fence. I can live with the software that is not compatible, they are on another compuetr, just didn't want the obvious stuff to stop working.

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home. Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks
In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached. Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print. -
Forgive such a basic question, it's easier than looking it up. I have my iTunes music on macbook pro and have only synced it to one iPod. I want to buy a new iPod and want to know will I be able to sync my music from computer to new iPod at no charge?
will I be able to sync my music from computer to new iPod at no charge?
Yes, you will. -
Possibly a very basic question but I am going nowhere without a solution. I have set up a spreadsheet in Numbers but it won't give me sums for chosen columns. I have viewed the run through videos and used the formula but nothing happens apart from giving a figure of zero or a red arrow. The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total as I understand from the video that you can drag whatever total is here onto the relevent position on your spreadsheet. I have Numbers 09 version 2.3 (554). Can anyone advise. Thanks.
Hi Sohojools,
To sum a column, use a formula such as this one in Cell A6
Type this in a cell below your data:
=SUM(A2:A4) or whatever range of cells you want to sum. The easy way is to type:
=SUM(
and then drag or shift-click to select the range of cells. Close the formula with a final bracket ")".
The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total
To see the sum (and other simple statistics) in the bottom left, select a range of cells. That tells Numbers which cells you are refering to.
The videos are good, but the Numbers'09 User guide, and the Formulas and Functions User Guide are better. Download them from the Help Menu in Numbers.
Regards,
Ian. -

IPod stuck skipping at the beginning of every song
My iPod isn't frozen, but it won't play any songs past the first second. My touch wheel isn't working properly for some reason so I can't reset it. Any advice on how to proceed? Updating it through iTunes isn't working either.

Quicktime freezes everytime I open it. Windows don't close. How do I fix this?
Quicktime freezes everytime I open it. Windows with previously watched videos keep opening. When I close them, and when the only one I wish to watch is left, it freezes and I have to force quit. A window of that video is then added to the many that o
