Common Apple ID and Password for All Devices and Applications

I have devloped a plethora of Apple IDs and Passwords with iCloud, Apple Store, iTunes, Apple Support, etc., etc. and on iPad, iPhone, and MacBook. Where and how do I start to establish a single Apple ID and a single Password which will work with all the devices and applications?

Can't help with iOS devices, since I don't own any and have only one AppleID. Call AppleCare and let them work it out for you. FWIW, the AppleID system is a bit bolloxed, since one can't eliminate or transfer them around. Good luck.

Update your iTunes from:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
Then follow the HT1212 instructions (the article you attached above).

HT1386 How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

Yes, I do have multiple devices and it appeared to me that every time I tried to sync or log onto iTunes, the password was incorrect. Consequently, I was and am constantly changing it. Wouldn't it be nice if Apple would simply say that you only need one Apple ID and one password regardless of the number of Apple devices you intend to sync via iTunes.
Barring the above, how about a way to merge all of the Apple IDs and passwords into one.

HT201251 I want to use 30 ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices

I want to use 30 ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices?

Alternatively you can always manage your iPads (does not matter how many) with a single apple id and all reporting to your account under "find my device" service. Keeping an eye on all your units. Additionally as you mentioned these are for your Restaurant you may find the solutions offered by this company who creates apps and hardware for this purpose: http://www.spartakioskpro.com
Additionally if you expand beyond those 30 iPads to say 300 you will want to enable or plan on MDM as your best option to automate every ipad to use the same profile and app and ios configuration while also keeping a close eye on all of them via online MDM services like: https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager

I am a teacher with 7 iPads for my room with no VPP or Apple Configurator. May I use the same Apple ID for each of the devices with a separate password for each device?

Who can help me with the above question? Multiple iPads in one classroom: may I use the same Apple ID (which is my work email) for each iPad, and construct a separate password for each device? My school does not have VPP or Apple Configurator

Password to what, exactly? If you're referring to the screen lock, each iPad can have a separate passcode, since that's not tied to an Apple ID. If that's not what you mean, please post back and clarify what password you're referring to and what you wish to accomplish.

I work for company and we use HTC phones .. We are thinking of changing to iPhone... We use destiny pens and have been advised that apple blocks the Bluetooth for this device... Why

I work for company and we use HTC phones about a hundred .. We are thinking of changing to iPhone... We use destiny pens and have been advised that apple blocks the Bluetooth for this device... Why...?

Apple doesn't "block" that device. They just don't support the Bluetooth profiles the Destiny pen requires. You can see the Bluetooth profiles included in iOS here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
and the profiles required for the pen here:
http://www.destinywireless.com/flash/#/thedigitalpen/compatibility/bluetooth_com patibilty/
Perhaps another pen such as the A4 Smart Pen would work for you in place of the Destiny device:

Merging 2 apple id's in family for all devices

Is there an easy way to merge 2 different apple id's in the same family for all devices & iCloud?

No

Keep Airplay from asking for password for same device.

I am currently at a friends place who has a airplay divice in its network. For some reason my computer keeps asking me every 15 minutes for the password for this device. This is quite anoying as I can't keep it from happining and have no idea what is causing it. The ownly programs that are running at the moment are Safari, Fantastical, Dropbox and Divvy.
How do I keep my computer from trying to connect to an airplay device on its own.
Thanks for your help.

This kb refers to mail asking for a password, but the fix is what you want - use keychain access to set your login keychaing to unlock on login and to NOT lock automatically again. That way, when you login with your password, your login (main or primary) keychain will also be unlocked and will stay unlocked as long as you are logged in.

Cisco Network Assistant, Enter Password for each device

Does anyone know a way that when you open a community you have to enter your username and password for each device listed in that community? I know with it currently you enter your username and password one time for each device, but I want it to prompt mne for username and password for each device in the community. I unchecked "Encrypt and Store Device Credentials" and it still only prompts me one time for a username and password.

Hi,
We tried reproducing it in our local set up and we also analyzed the problem with respect to the expected behavior in CNA.
Could you please share some more details as mentioned below so as to provide you the exact solution.
1) Is the same set of user name and password used for all the devices?
2) Was the password store feature enabled while creating community and was disabled later?
Regards,
Pramod

Set default password for all users including csv file

I would like to set the default password for all users

do i change that setting to the "login" setting in the csv file so
those users can loin with that password?
Kinda the same question but do yuo get the idea?
Thank you,

You could download and install RCDefaultApp 2.1 for all users: check the Read Me and then test it on something to see if it accomplishes what you want.

How to expire password for all users

I need to be able to expire the password for all users. This is to prevent access by any user until each one is released individually (administrator will set a new password and notify user).
Please could someone give me any tips on how to expire all users passwords.
Thanks

Login to the Internet Directory
Select the user and modify its expiry date
hope this helps u

Best Adobe Captivate Screen Size for all Devices?

Which would you say is the best screen size to use to cater for all device types (pc, laptop, tablet, mobile, etc.)?
Thanks.

Hi there,
You can select any moderate screen size and publish the course and on the publish dialog box, check "Scalable HTML content" (only in case of .swf, HTML5 and PDF).
If you are not sure about which screen size to choose and you are creating a course for large audience for devices and systems of different resolution, then 800 X 600 is recommended.
But now, with scalable HTML content checked, your course window will fit to the screen size of the device, and there will not be any scroll bar.
Thanks.

Common Global Prompt on DashBoard for all WebI Reports

Common Global Prompt on DashBoard for all WebI Reports
Is it possible to have a common prompt on the Dashboard. Which passes these variables/prompts to other WEBI reports show on the dashboard
Most of the financial WEBI reports have common prompt (year and period)
If I select or enter two common prompt can this be passed to all the webi reports shown on that DashBoard.
Thanks & Regards
Ishaq

Hi,
You cannot achieve this using WEBI alone. You will have to use Xcelsius with WEBI to achieve this. In XI R3.1 you can use the content linking feature on the dashboard to link a Xcelsius Analytic with multiple WEBi reports. You just need to pass prompts to the Xcelsius Analytic and all the corresonding reports will recieve that value. There are several possibilities with this and i have just stated one. Hope that helps.

IOS7 shows full passwords for all safari websites. How can I encrypt stored passwords?

If you go into settings
safari
passwords and auotfill
saved passwords
then click any website
after typing your lock code you can see your full ID and Password for all websites visited.
I think this is a serious security issue. All someone needs is your code and they can have access to all your passwords.
Shouldnt the passwords be encrypted or just show dots?

This is not possible, the passcode is the "only" protection towards keeping this data safe. All browsers handles the keychain in the exact same way.
