Get type of Apple device from external accessory

Currently, I am developing external accessory for iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch. I am wondering if I can get the type of device currently connected (is it iPhone, iPad or iPod touch). What kind of request data I have to send to the device from the accessory to get its information? Thanks for any help .

What type connection? BlueTooth, Wi-Fi, connector?

You can search the entire internet by putting that error message into google, see what other discussions appear.
With only the little information you've provided, I'd trash Compressor and download it again from the App Store.
You could share the timeline out to MPEG2 and then import that into iDVD, if you have it, or Toast.
Given an hour or three, someone with better suggestions will soon chime in.

What do you do if you get a new apple device but can't remember the security questions?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

What does rendering error -50 mean? I'm trying to export to apple device from FC Pro

What does "rendering error -50" mean? I'm trying to export to an apple device (Itunes) and I've done it this way before but now I just get the error message. I'm not very technically savvy.

I had a bunch of video clips which I took on a point and shoot camera. They had been uploaded along with photos to Aperture, but putting the SD card directly into my computer. Every year I take all the clips, edit out the junk, and make a DVD for the kids and grandkids to enjoy. When in final cut, I just clicked on the camera to import from Aperture.
I also make DVD's though out the year of special events, using these same type of video clips taken with the point and shoot. I sometimes do slow motion set to music, etc. I have not had a problem before. And all the bad files came from one trip in October. All the files after it were fine as well. I'm not sure what I did differently for that trip.
The little video clips say DSCN1783 (or some other file number) and are 1920x1080. I try to "share" my project to a Master File on an external drive.

How do I get six family apple devices to be able to use the same iTunes account to make purchases?

Our family has an iPad, a MacBook Air, 2 iPhones, and 2 iPod touches. I tried to access music in iTunes on my MacBook Air and a message came up that said you can only have 5 devices use the same iTunes account. What can I do to allow us to all use the same account?

Get a second Apple ID. Perhaps you should have two different Apple IDs for each iPhone and iPod Touch.

How do I stop all my Apple devices from being connected ?

I screwed up when I set up my apple devices and now they all ring when one is dialed. I can't remember how do reverse this. Seems like I've done this before

KalebsDad78 gave you the right answer. When I set up both of my new iPhone 6 last night, they both rang when a call was directed at either device. Simply going into Settings > Facetime and turning off iPhone Cellular Calls stopped them from both ringing immediately. Changing this does NOT have anything to do with Hand Off whatsoever.

How do I get my new apple tv from digital out put to analog

How do I get apple tv2 from digital to analog output?

Hard to without knowing the setup. At any rate I wouldn't recommend it.
There will be no guarantee that it will work as only HDMI is supported. As stated above you will not be able to play HDCP content (i.e. iTunes, Netflix)

Can't get my Imac to boot from external HD

Hello everybody out there in the community,
while preparing my system to update to Lion, I noticed, that my Imac appears not to boot from an external HD, when selected. When I press option-key and select the clone HD, I nevertheless hear the booting from the internal HD. Tried with firewire and with USB connection to no avail. Both ext. HD's are formatted MAC OS extended (journaled), with a GUID partition.
Any tips, hints or ideas will be appreciated!
Thank you!
(Specs: 3,6 GHz Intel Core i5)

Selected the clone from Preferences > Startup, did a reboot and it still appears that the booting is from the internal HD. I mean it appears like 90% of the booting sound comes from the internal HD, there is only a bit of light flicker (LED) at the beginning and the end of the booting process on the external HD. The clone is named 'clone'.
I did booting from an external HD on my old G5 imac a good few times, it took a while longer and I coud hear and see the booting (LED) from external HD, so I have kind of a 'feeling' how it should be like.
The external HD starts up no problem. It appears on the desktop, I can select it under Preferences > Startup and it shows up during startup using option-key.
Having done the booting, selecting the external HD, I can dismount it and still can open programms and documents, so it ought to be the internal HD ?

Why can my children lock and erase other family member Apple devices from their Apple ID?

I recently setup iCloud Family Sharing for our home of 5 people. My personal and unique Apple ID is the controlling parent ID. Others in the family are my wife and 3 children (1 over 18 and 2 under 18). Today I logged into iCloud from one of my kids Apple ID and noticed that it allows him to see everyone elses device location and also gives him the authority to turn on Lost Mode (which locks the device) and to Erase each device. I then logged out and logged into another childs Apple ID and it was the same thing. They could each see everyone's devices including my personal Mac Book Pro, both the iPads my wife and I use and the family iMac.
Essentially that means my kids each have the ability to erase or turn on lost mode for anyone elses device which is kinda scary. Now, perhaps you are thinking that I somehow messed up and put my kids Apple ID as the Organizer for iCloud family share but I can assure you I did not. When I go into iCloud to see the hierarchy it clearly shows my Apple ID as the Organizer and the others are simply shown as family members and are not authorized to approve purchases. I also do not have my kids Apple ID setup on my personal Macbook Pro or my personal iPad as an account so there's no connection that way.
That said, I also wondered if my kids could really do anything to my personal devices or if it would ask them for my password or lock code before doing anything, so I tried it by logging into my son's iCloud account using his Apple ID. I located my personal iPad and then told it to turn on Lost mode. And sure enough it locked my iPad from my son's iCloud account.
So is this how it's supposed to work or is something wrong with iCloud rights for device management? It seems totally wrong that my other family members have such control over other family member devices.
Thanks

Hello sbrown02,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to know why the people in your Family Sharing group have access to your location and that ability to put a device in Lost Mode. Lost Mode is a function available with location sharing and can be toggled off or on. Please reference the attached article for more information.
Family Sharing and location - Apple Support
Use location sharing with Find My iPhone
If you join family sharing and choose to share your location with family members, they can locate and secure a missing device for you.
If you enabled Find My iPhone on your missing device, a family member can:
See the location and status of your device
Play a sound on your missing device to help you find it
Put your device in Lost Mode to help you find it
If you don't share your location with family members, they will be able to see that your devices are online or offline and play a sound to help you locate your missing device. They won't have access to any location information about your devices.
Best regards,
Joe

HT4993 Forgot apple password, changed it my wife can get into on her phone and on the ipad but I cannot get into the apple account from my phone. What do I need to do?

We forgot Apple password, changed it. I can't get into Apple but my wife can get into it on her iPhone 5s and we can get into it on the ipad but I can't on my 4S. Any suggestions?

Hello there, pacase1.
From what I understand you've changed the password but can't login to a particular feature on your iPhone 4s. If that is the case, the following Knowledge Base article provides some good pointers to use depending on which feature/service you're trying to sign into on your iPhone:

If the issue is still with your password, feel free to review the following documentation:

Getting (incrementally) backed up files from external HD to new mac

Hi everyone,
The hard drive on my ibook died. I was running Tiger, and regularly backed up all the files on my home folder to an external hard drive. I use the software that came with the computer (Backup) to do this.
Yesterday, I purchased a MacBook. When I attach my external hard drive and try to open my backed up files, all I see is one full backup folder and many, many incremental backups. I understand, on a conceptual level, what incremental backups are. But I have no idea how to use them to retrieve my files.
So, my question is this: how do I retrieve files that were backed up to an external hard drive (from my old computer) and transfer them to the internal HD on my new computer? Migration assistant is absolutely no help here since I can't access the internal HD on my old, dead ibook.
Many thanks for any tips,
RB

If you used Backup to create the backup, then use it to restore the files.

Hi,
did you configure Kerberos delegation?
NTLM fails when you try to open external list from client computer, because SharePoint cannot pass user's identity - "Double Hop" issue.
Take a look at confguring Kerberos for SharePoint 2010 white paper

Am I correct in assuming that Messages cannot communicate with non-Apple devices?

Am I correct in assuming that Messages cannot communicate with non-Apple devices from laptops and or desktop apple devices? From iPhone there seems to be no barriers to this using Messages.

I wonder if Mt. Lion will include texting to "other" devices. For there to be true continuity across platforms this needs to happen.
Right now I am having an interesting thing happen - even messaging with another Mac User I am getting the red ! on all my messages sent from my mac. Yet he is gitting them. I am assuming this is some kind of beta thing.
