CONFUSED-LOST & HELP NEEDED!

Managing Apple ID's among devices is getting more and more complicated and the "CLOUD" doesn't help me when I am on the ground?!?. I would like some help with the problems I am having. I maybe some edumaction on how to use the cloud effectively. Overwhelmed in regards to getting the right info on the right devices.
A Couple years ago I got something from iTunes saying I needed to use an email address to log in. My log in name from day 1 was just a username, so I put in my regualr email address thinking that this was converting my username to my email address. That isn't the case, it created a 2nd apple ID. So now I have to deal with 2 IDs and not sure what to use when dealing with icloud and purchases. Since upgrading my phones just about every other year and purchasing new lap tops I have noticed certain things aren't moving to certain devices. Plus, now our household has 4 iphones, an ipad, and 3 or 4 computers with itunes. I need help simplifying and being able to know what downloads go where and what purchases are being made (4 different accounts, same credit card).
1. Can I merge all Apple Ids into 1 main ID?
2. How do I set up my outlook calendar and contacts to sync with my new iphone. Which ID do I use?
3. Picture stream doesn't seem to work and syncing in general doesn't seem to be working with iCloud. I turn it on, but nothing in my streaming folder.
4. I have a iCloud email address and a me.com apple address. Why? What do I use?
5. What's the best way to have multiple users in 1 house.
6. Is this a sign that I am now old and need to start arguing with electronic devices?
I loved the iphone and iTunes when it launched; it made everything so easy. Now I feel like an old man wondering why I don't start using an actual calendar and postage stamps!
Please help, I need to get things back on track to focus on more important things like watching cute videos about cats in clothing...
Thanks!

Does the company that hosts the Exchange account allow users to connect with their iPhones. It isn't as simple as knowing the settings, they have to allow it and the Exchange admin have to setup certain things on the mail servers.
If they don't have ActiveSync (what is needed by them), do they offer IMAP or POP access instead?

IPhone 4 reset itself, photos lost -URGENT HELP NEEDED

Hi there,
Urgent help needed!!
Tonight I was taking extremely important photos throughout an event on my iPhone 4, however, my iPhone 4 ran out of battery once I was near a charger I plugged it in and for some reason my iPhone had reset itself. Back up icloud options were from yesterday, but the photos that I was taking at the event are needed urgently. Is there any way possible I can recover the photos that were taken?
Thanks in advance!!!!

URGENT HELP NEEDED - iPhone 3Gs no longer detected or charged by MacBook

My iPhone 3Gs (3.1) has been running fine, until several hours ago today, when I plugged it to my MacBook, the iPhone is no longer detected - it doesn't show up in iTunes, nor it is charged. I tried opening iPhoto, and it wasn't there too. Not with Image Capture too. I tried charging it using the out-of-box wall charger using the same out-of-box USB cable I use for MacBook, and it can be charged without any problem. Then I put it into Recovery mode, and there iTunes can see it. I don't want to restore it before I figure out exactly what went wrong, as I don't want the restore process somehow gets stuck in the middle that the connection is lost again.
I've tried reinstalled iTunes, including completely removal of Apple Mobile Device Support, as instructed by Apple. But still no luck.
I've tried switching to another USB port of my MacBook. No luck.
My iTunes is the latest 9.0.1, and my Mac OSX is 10.6.1. My iPhone is on 3.1, upgraded from 3.0.
I've read from web that it seems I'm not the only one out there having this problem. But none of them seem having any real working solution.
Urgent help needed & appreciated. Millions of thanks in advance.
Gary

1. I used both cables - theirs & mine ... and on several macs
2. yes, same cable for wall & mac
3. as said, i did completely remove & install itunes (incl. apple mobile device support), as instructed on the apple webpage
anyway, did a restore just now. it seems okay now. but the problem is i have no idea what cause this, and i can't replicate the problem. so i don't know when it will happen again ... maybe a bug with os 3.1 ... others on web said os 3.1 is quite buggy ...

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

Hello CTGame,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there’s a grayed out song in your iTunes library that can’t be played or downloaded again like other past purchases. Try taking a look at the article linked below and verify the computer is authorized to play that content.
How to troubleshoot iTunes Match - Apple Support
Songs appear to be missing
Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) might not appear in iCloud, or might appear grayed out. This can occur if your computer is not authorized to play that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match. To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for to play a specific song:
Locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
Choose File > Get Info.
In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column. Write it down.
Click OK.
Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
Type in the account name from the Summary field and enter its password. Click Authorize.
Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
So long,
-Jason

Computer Crashed - Help Needed!!!

Hi, my computer crashed recently and we had to have a new hard drive put in. There are a few things I need help with, I'll list them, any help would be brilliant! I've read a few posts on here to do with getting the songs onto iTunes, but I'm worried that I'll use the wrong information so if anyone can give me some help relating to my questions it would be great, thanks!:
1. I've just put the disk that came with my iPod into the computer. After typing in my information a box comes up saying "Please plug in your new iPod so that it can be configured. Make sure you wait a few seconds for the iPod to be recognised by the system. Click Cancel to skip the configuration step.". Now I'm not sure what to do here. If I plug it in will it wipe my iPod? I've got a load of albums on there that I bought on iTunes (which I havent backed up onto cd) and I dont want to lose them!
2. My next question is basically what to do next? Basically I'm not brilliant with computers and am worried I will wipe everything! I have a 20GB iPod and I have about 1000 songs on there.
How do I load the disk that I got with the iPod? Is this disk iTunes or is it just information (I've had my iPod for a couple of years and can't remember!). Do I need to load iTunes from the Internet or is it on the disk?
How do I get the songs from my iPod onto iTunes?
I'm totally confused! Help!!!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
What kind of iPod are you using? 3G or 4G?
In your situation, yes, you should skip that step.
Basically the disk should install iTunes and the iPod software updater onto the computer. Our advice is that you should not use the CD but instead download the latest versions from the link above, and then install iTunes followed by the iPod software updater.
Then you should follow the instructions in this thread here to get the songs from your iPod back to the computer: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=797426#797426

Help needed . Creating DSN in Unix

Hi The Oracle server is running on Unix platform. I need to connect the server from my client application which recoganises the DB using its DSN. Please help me in creating the DSN in the Unix environment.
Any help will be Apreciated.
Regards,
Badhri([email protected])

I'm a bit confused. You need to have an ODBC DSN on your client machine, not on your server machine. ODBC is generally a Windows-only technology-- at least the Oracle ODBC driver is available only on Windows. There are some third-parties that have created various Unix ODBC drivers, however.
If you need to create a DSN on a Unix box, you must not be using the Oracle driver or the standard DSN configuration dialogs. You'd have to contact whatever third-party driver provider you're using to find out how they handle things.

Help needed with java

Hello everyone
I'm a Student and new to java and I have been given a question which I have to go through. I have come across a problem with one of the questions and am stuck, so I was wondering if you guys could help me out.
here is my code so far:
A Class that maintains Information about a book
This might form part of a larger application such
as a library system, for example.
@author (your name)
*@version (a version number or a date)*
public class Book
// instance variables or fields
private String author;
private String title;
Set the author and title when the book object is constructed
public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle)
author = bookAuthor;
title = bookTitle;
Return The name of the author.
public String getAuthor()
return author;
Return The name of the title.
public String getTitle()
return title;
and below are the questions that I need to complete. they just want me to add codes to my current one, but the problem is I don't know where to put them and how I should word them, if that makes sense.
Add a further instance variable/field pages to the Book class to store the number of pages in the book.
This should be of type int and should be set to 0 in the Constructor.
Add a second Constructor with signature
public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle, int noPages) so it has a third parameter passed to it as well as the author and title;
this parameter is used - obviously?? - to initialise the number of pages.
Note: This is easiest done by making a copy of the existing Constructor and adding the parameter.
Add a getPages() accessor method that returns the number of pages in the book.
Add a method printDetails() to your Book class. This should print out the Author title and number of pages to the Terminal Window. It is your choice as to how the data is formatted, perhaps all on one line, perhaps on three, and with or without explanatory text. For instance you could print out in the format:
Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:226
Add a further instance variable/field refNumber() to your Book class. This stores the Library's reference number. It should be of type String and be initialised to the empty String "" in the constructor, as its initial value is not passed in as a parameter. Instead a public mutator method with the signature:
public void setRefNumber(String ref) should be created. The body of this method should assign the value of the method parameter ref to the refNumber.
Add a corresponding getRefNumber() accessor method to your class so you can check that the mutator works correctly
Modify your printDetails() method to include printing the reference number of the book.
However the method should print the reference number only if it has been set - that is the refNumber has a non-zero length.
If it has not been set, print "ZZZ" instead.
Hint Use a conditional statement whose test calls the length() method of the refNumber String and gives a result like:
Title: Jane Eyre, Author: Charlotte Bronte, Pages:226, RefNo: CB479 or, if the reference number is not set:
Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:347, RefNo: ZZZ
Modify your setRefNumber() method so that it sets the refNumber field only if the parameter is a string of at least three characters. If it is less than three, then print an error message (which must contain the word error) and leave the field unchanged
Add a further integer variable/field borrowed to the Book class, to keep a count of the number of times a book has been borrowed. It should (obviously??) be set to 0 in the constructor.
Add a mutator method borrow() to the class. This should increment (add 1 to) the value of borrowed each time it is called.
Include an accessor method getBorrowed() that returns the value of borrowed
Modify Print Details so that it includes the value of the borrowed field along with some explanatory text
PS. sorry it looks so messey

1. In the future, please use a more meaningful subject. "Help needed with java" contains no information. The very fact that you're posting here tells us you need help with Java. The point of the subject is to give the forum an idea of what kind of problem you're having, so that individuals can decide if they're interested and qualified to help.
2. You need to ask a specific question. If you have no idea where to start, then start here: [http://home.earthlink.net/~patricia_shanahan/beginner.html]
3. When you post code, use code tags. Copy the code from the original source in your editor (NOT from an earlier post here, where it will already have lost all formatting), paste it in here, highlight it, and click the CODE button.
