Can we create an overarching Apple ID for discovery/managing/playing content for our pre-K kid?

I own several for work—and personal Apple devices and have been using one Apple ID to discover, manage and play content. This content consists of items that are (1) work based (2) personal based (3) family/child based (e.g. Monsters Ink).
I purchased an iPad Mini for my husband at Christmas, and he purchased an Apple TV for the family— and now we are perplexed at how to manage assets that are "family" based without purchasing them twice. Essentially want apps, movies and music related to our pre-K son on both of our devices. Otherwise managing this will quickly become a nightmare of who owns what on which decive.
Can anyone recommend how to do this?

An iDevce can containt content for multiple Apple ID's, there is no reason to purchase content multiple times.
There is no such thing as "sub" accounts.
Simply manage the content on the devices.

Are there any parental controls that can be placed on an apple ID that a parent would obtain for a child?

Not on the ID as such, but you can certainly use parental controls (Sustem Preferences) and/or create a limited access user account (in Users & Groups). You would have to delete any applications or folders s/he is not allowed to have access to.

Can I create a 2nd iTunes account on one PC that caters for two seperate devices for different people?

For what reason would you do that?
Simply connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
iTunes remembers the sync profile per device.

How can I create a form in FormsCentral be a self-correcting quiz for my students?

How can I create a form in FormsCentral be a self-correcting quiz for my students?

Hi;
You can't make it self correcting.
The only related idea I have is you could publish the Response Table (the "View Response" tab). You could add an entry for the "right" answers so after a student completes the form the re-direct URL could take them to the Response Table where they could see their entry along with the right answers that you had added.
They could not edit their response to correct it unless they have a FormsCentral account (free is fine) and you share the form with them, otherwise they can still view the link to see how they did (but would also see all of the other students answers).
If this sounds interesting I can give more detail on how to set it up.
Thanks,
Josh

Can I create a topic hierarchy in the Project Manager pod or do I need to rely on the TOC?

Hi,
Can I create a topic hierarchy in the Project Manager pod or do I need to rely on the TOC? I am using RoboHelp 9 (although I doubt the version matters).
Thanks,
Mary

Thanks, Rick.
That is actually what I did - create folders and move topics into them. I also created a TOC - for a more streamlined navigation through the online help. (Otherwise, the folder names appear in the navigation, which is 'clunky'.) I suppose the TOC is also used for the creation of PDF output, although I am not sure. Anyway... it works... and I have a topic hierarchy - in my Project 'pod' and TOC.
Much appreciated,
Mary
P.S. Too bad there isn't an easier method of making a topic hierarchy in the Project. This can be accomplished in Flare without the need for extra folders. Oh well...

Apple TV 3gen won't play content from iTunes, Apple TV 2nd gen works fine same network

Hi.
Recently, after all the most recent Apple updates, my Apple TV 3rd gen won’t play content from iTunes on my Mac. I have an Apple TV 3nd gen on the same network and it works fine. This problem started after the recent round of OS X updates( I am running 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5. As my Apple TV3 was actually new and I took it to the Apple store where they kindly gave me a new one but the same thing happens. The Apple TV 3rd gen will play content through the onboard clients like Netflix, iTunes, Bloomberg.
The Apple TV3rd gen won’t play anything form my computer’s iTunes library, whether or not it was purchased from the Itunes store or home movies from iPhone etc. I have restored the device a few times to no luck. I have even switched routers, same problem.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks in advance.

Home sharing was configured and turned on. I can actually see all the content on my Mac. When I trry to play anything i just see the white spinning wheel on the black background.

How can I create a second apple id (without credit card) for my daughter and share it on the same environment?

Hello, I found some suggestions regarding how to create an account without credit card details for a child, but I'm not shore if it would work harmlessly.
The following points describe my situation:
I access the iTunes store from my MacBook Pro, while my 15 year old daughter will access iTunes from her iPad.
Every time she needs a free download I have to enter my Apple ID in through her iPad.
When it comes to purchase an app or music for her iPad I do it from my mac and then synchronize with her iPad.
This is what I’m looking for:
I would like her to have her personal apple ID that don’t require a credit card so she would be able to log and download the free apps and updates
I also would like to purchase her software by using my Apple ID linked to my credit card
I wouldn’t want her to lose the software and on her iPad once logged with a different Apple ID
Last, I would appreciate to not see the apps downloaded on her iPad appearing on my iPhone: is there a way to have a selective destination for downloaded apps?
Thank you in advance

You can create a new account without giving credit card details by following the instructions on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
And she can then use that account for free items. If she redownloads an item on her iPad (and similarly on your Mac) from an account (either your existing account or a new one) then she may tie the iPad to that account for 90 days (so she won't be able to redownload items from the other account until those 90 days have completed) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
Also all content is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only your account will be able to download updates to the apps that were bought/downloaded by your account.
The apps will only automatically download on your phone if you have automatic downloads turned on in Settings > iTunes & App Store on it.

Can I create a new apple account for a product that is already associated with an existing account?

I have had an apple id account for a few years that is shared by myself and my family. It includes 3 ipod touches, 1 ipod nano, and 1 ipad. All of the devices are synced to each other and settings keep getting changed around between them, which is becoming an annoyance. I would like to create 2 separate apple id accounts, and keep my existing one, is this possible? Will I and my family be able to sync the devices to new accounts without having to reset each product? any advice and/or suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks.

Couldn't agree more... the folks who are getting penalized for this are the early adopters of .Mac/iCloud dating from the days when the only way to implement a "family" account was to use aliases. Now all my kids' / my wife's name aliases sit in my account, unable to move. I guess the good news is that if I delete them nobody else will get them, but this seems a pretty poor consolation.
Would it really be so difficult to implement a "move this alias to another iCloud account" option that requires the "sender" and "receiver" to exchange some sort of code to implement the transation in order to prevent fraud?

How can I have one "family" Apple ID and two icloud accounts one for me and one for the wife?

MacVirgin!Just got new Air and iMac (iphones on the way). How can I have one Apple ID but two iCloud accounts (one for me and one for my wife)? I have set up one iCloud account and am attempting to share contacts between iMac, iCloud and Air, however iMac and iCloud are not in sync? I must be missing something very simple.

ok. I set up the imac and Air with one user account. this was used to activae iCloud on both machines and I have now se up one iCloud account and managed to share calander and contacts between the two. Ultimately both me and my wife will have an iphone and we wish to share calenders and contacts. We both also use the imac and air on one user account. It looks like I need to set another user account then activate iCloud in my wifes Apple ID

Hi i do not have a job or bank account. i am a student. how can i create a free apple account. without giving a credit or debit card number.

how do i create a free apple account without giving a credit card number.because i am still in school.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
The link that rmgman gave has instructions for how to create an account without giving credit card details - if you use them when creating an account then you will be able to download items from the store without having to give card details.

Can i go into an apple store to get a new battery for my ihpone 3gs

Can i go to an Apple store to get a new battery put into my iphone 3gs? or do i have to ship it somewhere?

Is she going to want to keep the same number? If not, you can go into somewhere like Carphone warehouse and ask for a new EE sim card sometimes costs £5 but they normally do a deal like top up £10 and get something free. i'm sure EE shop would supply these also, the only trouble you may have is the time that it would take to port the same number over

CAN'T create or RECOVER Apple ID:

I tried making a new one with my new e-mail, but I couldn't because it said tehre's already one Apple ID associated with that e-mail, so I tried to recover the password by e-mail, but I don't receive the e-mail. I need help.

Were you able to resolve this? I'm trying to create a new Apple ID using a Gmail address. That Gmail address was used as an alternate on another Apple ID but I've deleted it from that account (so I wouldn't get the "this email address is already associated with another..." message). But the Gmail address is still tied up somewhere and I'm unable to use it to set up a new Apple ID.
None of the password reset options work. My problem could have more to do with the fact that the address was never used as an actual Apple ID, but as an alternate email address on a different ID.

Can we create an overarching Apple ID for discovery/managing/playing content for our pre-K kid?
