Both my kids iPads are using my Apple ID if I give them both their own will they loose the existing apps they already have on their iPads?

Apps on a device are forever associated with the Apple ID that was used to purchase or download them. If the Apple ID on a device is changed the apps acquired with the original Apple ID will require that original Apple ID and password to be updated.
My suggestion would be to erase your kids' iPads and set them up new, each with their own Apple ID. Then turn on Family Sharing with you as the Organizer. This will allow any of the Family members to share apps as long a those apps allow Family Sharing. Turn on Family Sharing in the Settings app.

ok,
At this little tutorial here:
http://www.developer.com/tech/article.php/610011
It says
"The Document interface is the content model for Swing text components. Every Swing text component has an instance of Document associated with it. The Document contains both the content for its component as well as any style information for the rendering of the content. All content is stored in the Document's Element array. Style information is stored in each Element as an AttributeSet. We'll get into AttributeSets in the next article, when we discuss styled text components. "
Mainly concentrating on :
All content is stored in the Document's Element array. Style information is stored in each Element as an AttributeSet.
This would indicate that each time a new attribute is applied to something that it is stored as a separate String in an array, along with the attribute relating to it, would it ?
I've looked here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JTextPane.html#getParagraphAttributes()
And here :
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/text/Document.html
But still cannot figure out a way to do this, I presume I must get at the Document 'array', and if I had this everything would be fine.
Should I run through every single charactor in the 'editable' JTextPane, check its attribute and add it my my own special made class?, and pass this class to 'non-editable / viewable-only' JTextPane ?
Any opinions would be very helpful.

I don't see music and video icons in the iTunes app that I have in my iPad. How can I do to see the complete iTunes store?

How can I do to see all the icons inthe iTunes store? I only see podcast and u iTunes?

To buy Apps or to check out the Apps available via your iPad use the App Store App.
On your iPad your Music is kept in the iPod App and the movies are on the Movie App after you have synced the Music and Movies from iTunes on your computer to your iPad.

Updated Ipad now in recovery mode - why? If I restore to factory settings will I loose all my apps

I updated my Ipad and it wont turn on - it's now in recovery mode - why is this? If I do reset it to factory settings will I loose all my apps?

Something went wrong with the update and your iPad can not boot.
Yes, doing the required restore wipes all data.
Restore from your backup.

Is it possible to share aps between my iPad and iPhone, I have tried several methods yet I still get charged if I download an app I already have on my iPad. many thanks, Alex

Is it possible to share apps from my iPad onto my new iPhone 4. I have tried several suggestions from the net but still get charged when I download an app to my phone that is already on my iPad. Many thanks, alex

Greetings Alex,
You should be able to download the exact same app from the iTunes store to a different device at no extra cost. Its possible you might be downloading an iPad only version of an app you happen to have on your iPhone although I'm not familiar with an example of this.
If you are being charged:
1. Make sure you are using the same iTunes Store account (AppleID) on both devices. Your purchases are tied to the AppleID so if you don't use the same one to download the app that you used to buy it the first time, you'll be charged.
On the device you originally bought the app in question: Go to Settings > Store -- note the AppleID here
On the device you re-downloaded and were charged on: Go to Settings > Store -- note the AppleID here
If these AppleIDs are different then you have your answer. You are making purchases with two different accounts so logically you've been charged twice. Decide which AppleID you wish to use from now on and on the device which does not currently have that ID and tap on it in the Store section of the settings and login with the other AppleID.
If these AppleIDs are the same then something is going wrong in the process. Contact iTunes Store support email to have them take a peek: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
Hope that helps.

I can not use my apple ID any time when I try to sign in to any of your apps. I have tried to reset ID and Password but have been unable due to Email already in use.

My Apple ID is my e-mail address. If I have a new e-mail address and want to use this address instead will I loose all my apps that I have already purchased?

I want to change my e-mail address due to my having a new Internet provider. I used my old e-mail address as my Apple ID to get on the App Store, iTunes Store and iCloud. Will I still be able to download my old purchases if I lose them when I switch addresses?

go to id.apple.com, manage ur apple id, sign in, change primary email to the new one. this will change ur apple id to the new email address and ull get to keep ur purchases

Since years, my wife and I are sharing one Apple computer. On this, we both have an individual user account. Each of us has an own iTunes Account and an own individual media library. Why is this setup now blocked by Apple? Cannot download purchased music.

Since years, my wife and I are sharing one Apple computer. On this, we both have an individual user account. Each of us has an own iTunes Account and an own individual media library. Each of us is using an own individual iPhone, which we frequently update with our iTunes Accounts. We have had this setup for years. It was convenient, reliable and user friendly, since we both could download what we wanted, create playlists, etc. without impact on the other. Exactly this convenience has made me and my wife real Apple fans, so that we also wanted to convince our daughter to move from Android and PC to our easier Apple setup.
Since a few weeks, this setup does not work anymore. From Apple Support (online chat on Apple.at) I was not told that this is not supported any more. Every computer is only allowed to be connected to one iTunes account. From one perspective (sharing music across other users as an act or media piracy, etc.) I can somehow understand this. However, since we are using different user accounts on this computer, I do not have access to other user´s iTunes media and could not play, download or copy it. So what is the point in this?
This now means, that my wife and I are only allowed to download individually purchased music with our personal iTunes accounts only with an interval of 90 days, so every on of us 2 times a year!
Was I incorrectly informed by the Apple support? If so, how can I solve the problem? Or is this really a new policy by Apple? If so, what is the reason? Am I expected to purchase a Mac for my wife, my daughter, myslef and for the three smaller kids to follow soon?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes.

My kid`s been using my apple ID/account for years, but now that he`s older it`s time he got his own. Is there any way to either make a twin account so he doesn`t lose all his purchases from iTunes/AppStore when getting his own account?

They payment can still be from my card/account, that`s not the problem, but facetime, imessage etc. is a available on both mine and his apple products (I know you can check what email/phone number we can be reached at, but it`s just a click and he see my messages and I his). It`s the privacy problem that is the most important.

He needs to have his own account, the sooner the better.
As for content, non-protected songs can simply be copied to his own new library, and he can use them. As for protected content and apps, anything he still wants will have to be replaced.

How can i see how many people are using my apple id without changing the password ?

how can i see how many people are using my apple id without changing because some people have it

I'm not sure that you can. Why have so many people got your password? So many in fact, that you don't know how many.
You can see how many computers are authorised to play any songs you have purchased from the iTunes Store, but that isn't quite the same thing.
Perhaps a better idea would be to change the password and not let anyone else know what it is. That would at least prevent anyone else from changing it and locking you out of your own account.

Definitely a good place to start. However, in my case (probably through my own carelessness) it's not even remotely accurate. It has my previous iPhone (which was removed from iCloud in front of the person I sold it to) still listed by not my current phone. Also a couple of iPods that I know were no longer attached to my Apple ID when they were last working (a couple of them are not).
But, you've encouraged me to go in and do some house cleaning. I think I'll live my original iPod on there just for the nostalgia.

You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.
