Can i pair the the apple bouetooth keyboard with two computers ? (1 mac, 1 pc, used in alternation)

Hi,
I have a mac mini paired with apple bluetooth keyboard and magic trackpad.
My wife has a windows based laptop that she uses and plugs into the display when i am not working on my mac.
I would like to enable her to use the keyboard and trackpad as well, but couldn't fing out whether it is possible, and do i "switch" between the two devices, assuming i don't turn off my mac mini.
(the display has 2 inputs so we just change the source when she is working)
any help woukd be much appreciated
Ira

BT devices may only be paired with one thing at a time. IMHO, it would be easier to buy additional devices for the non-Apple computer.

Can i Use The Apple Wired Keyboard With Camera Connector Kit

People report it is still possible to use a wired USB keyboard with the CCK, if you use a powered USB hub to get around the "not enough power" error message. (I have done this with an older Apple USB keyboard my non-jailbroken iPad1 on iOS 4.3.3.) Normally, powered USB hubs have a AC power adapter so you lose portability unless you can find a battery powered USB hub. At this point, the (in)convinience of the USB hub becomes an issue, depending on what you get.
And wired USB keyboard were never supported for the iPad. So there's no guarantee that it will continue to work with future iPad updates from Apple. So best to go with a Bluetooth keyboard unless you have a specific USB keyboard that you "must" use. If you have all the equipment already, I say give it a try. But I would not recommend trying a USB keyboard if you have to purchase anything.

How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses

I will be greatful if you could answer me this question...
How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses?
I know that you can use two credit cards to pay an item but the problem is that i can only put the billing address of just one of the credit cards, and since the two cards are from different people (my parents) i can't do it. They live in the same place so i don't know if i should just put one of the billing address.
Thank you.
PS. I don't know if this is the right community to ask this, sorry if i'm wrong.

On the Apple Store "Payment & Pricing" page it states:
Using more than one payment card
You can also combine payment methods to pay for your purchase. Choose from the following combinations of credit cards and Apple Gift Cards:
Credit card(s) - up to two
Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight
Apple Gift Card(s) + one credit card
During checkout, if you are paying with a gift card issued by a credit card company, you can combine it with one credit card.

Hello pscorning1,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you have already changed the information associated with your current Apple ID (*not* created an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the following article about updating the various Apple ID services helpful:

I have some apps on my iPad that were installed using an old apple ID. They can't be updated because the old ID is no longer valid. How can I change the apple ID associated with these apps?

I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.

If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
You can verify the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account

Can I change the Apple ID associated with a serial number?

I just purchased an iPad 1 used. The previous owner had its serial number registered under his Apple ID. Does anyone know how to change the apple ID associated with a serial number? On my iPad I am the apple user associated with the device. I am not the associated Apple ID on the Apple website.

Here is the Apple product registration web site.
https://register.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/GlobaliReg.woa
If you have the receipt for the device, it really doesn't matter to whom the device is registered. The warranty is tied to the device, not the owner of the device so the warranty effectively transfers when you buy the iPad from the previous owner.
Here is the site where you can check to see how long the warranty is still good for.
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Actually, I think all you need is the serial number if you need warranty service and it doesn't matter who owns the iPad at the time that service or warranty issues arise.

How can I change the apple ID linked with my mac ?

Hi Everyone, I just bought my first MAC, pretty excited and since I am begginer a few questions has arise, hopefully you can help me with this one. When I first start doing the setup since i was in a rush I did not took the time to create a new apple id, so I used my husbands. How can I change that ? Somehow the APPLE ID is linked with his i-phone, so I am receiving all his text thru my mac. How can I change that ? Tks alot

Create your own Apple ID.
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US
In System Preferences > iCloud, Sign out of his account and use your new credentials to sign in.
In the Mac App Store (MAS) you can sign in using different IDs to download applications purchased under the other ID.
Usually the Apple ID is an email that is NOT and iCloud email address. I know... this is confusing. After you create the ID, you can then create your own iCloud email address and two alises if desired.

If i get a replacement refurbished iPhone can i get the apple care warranty with it?

im not sure about getting an out of warrantly replacement iphone 3gs and would love to know if i can get the apple care warranty if i do or does it only include the 90 day warranty?

A refurbished iPhone comes with the same one year limited warranty as a new iPhone.

"We back it with our standard one-year limited warranty. And you have the option of purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan for it."

I can not visit the apple developer library with safari in new ipad

I can not visit the url(http://www.apple.com.cn/developer/iphone/library/documentation/iPhone/Conceptual /iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/ApplicationEnvironment/ApplicationEnvironment.html) with safari in new ipad.

Just authorize the computer and retreive them.
Go here -> https://iforgot.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/DSiForgot.woa/wa/iforgot .
FYI: you should have simply updated the AppleID with new info and continued to use it instead of creating a new one.
