Getting LR 5 on more than one Apple computer
I just downloaded LR5 to my iMac desktop but would really like to also have it on my MacBook Pro laptop. Can that be done without buying a second copy at full price? Thanks very much, in advance.
As others have indicated you can have two activations. I have Lightroom 5 on my iMac and my MacBook Pro Retina. However, you cannot share a catalog between the two over the network. So what I do is maintain my images on an external Thunderbolt drive which is accessible to both Macs. Then I use the synclr shell script below to clone my ~/Pictures/Lightroom folder between the two Macs. I run the script from my Macbook and just type "synclr -i" to sync from my iMac to Macbook, or "synclr -m" to sync from my Macbook to my iMac. Works very well!
synclr shell script
#!/bin/bash
set -u
umask 022
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
echo; echo "Usage: $0 -i imac->macbook -m macbook->imac"; echo
exit 1
fi
typeset -i ctr=0
thishost=$(hostname)
if [ $thishost != 'macbook' ] && [ $thishost != 'MacBook.local' ]; then
echo "This script must be run on the MacBook!"
exit
fi
while getopts im opt
do
case $opt in
i) echo "Syncing Lightroom library from iMac to Macbook..."
rsync -azhE -e ssh --delete --stats \
bernie@imac:"${HOME}/Pictures/Lightroom/" \
${HOME}/Pictures/Lightroom
m) echo "Syncing Lightroom library from MacBook to iMac..."
rsync -azhE -e ssh --delete --stats \
${HOME}/Pictures/Lightroom/ \
bernie@imac:"${HOME}/Pictures/Lightroom"
esac
done
exit

I seem to have more than one apple ID. How can I get rid of old ones?
I seem to have more than one apple I D. Apple keep rejecting my password so I create new one. iPhone still seemd to use original ID. Apps get attached to old IDs. Can't log into game centre on old ID or use my nickname. Says its already in use! By me!

Can I use more than one Apple ID on one device
I have seen some answers to this type of question before but not that since the ios 6 so will ask again. My household shares an Apple ID and it has worked great as we have added devices and purchased apps. My problem now is this, we have hit a point where I have work things on my iPad and iPhone that I really don't need to be shared with the whole family but it isn't a major deal or security risk. I don't want to give up the advantages of having the household ID. Is there an easy way to have another ID on my iPad and switch between them without having major complications? I am for the most part a techie so not afraid of these kind of things but I can't afford to lose everything right now and take the time to set it all back up so getting advice here. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
You can use more than one apple id, but keep in mind that when apps need updating that you'll will need to sign in with correct credentials to update them.
Share an apple id for the itunes and app stores, but keep your own for icloud, facetime and messages.

Can more than one apple id sign in on my tablet without deleting anything off? Or does err1 hve 2 use ID while on my iPad?
Message was edited by: RuEnvy35Another ID can be signed into on the iPad without losing anything, but it is not advisable to download purchased content with another ID, or you will lock yourself out of your own ID for 90 days. Why don't you explain exactly why you want to sign in with another ID.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only use one ID for purchasing from the Apple TV, but you can stream content from multiple libraries even though they have different ID's -

Can you sign in with more than one apple id on an iPad?
Can you sign in with more than one apple id on an iPad?
Only one account can be signed in at a time (via Settings > Store), and if you turn on automatic downloads and/or download past purchases from an account then you risk tying the iPad to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

How can I put more than one Apple ID on one device to receive iMessages?
I have a personal iPhone and work iPad. I'd like to receive iMessages from my work Apple ID on my personal iPhone. Since upgrading to iOS 7, I haven't been able to do so. Is there a fix for this?
Although you can use more than one Apple ID on the device at a time, only one at a time can be used for EACH FEATURE like iTunes, Facetime and iMessages,

Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes
Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes
Yes, but you have to logout of one, and login to the other.
If it is an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and you buy apps on different accounts, when it comes time to update an app, you have to specify the password for the account used to acquirer the app. You change an iOS account via Settings -> Store -> Apple ID (tap on it), and start by logging out and then you can enter the other Id
So it is possible, but it can also be a pain. -

Can you have more than one apple id on a computer. We are going away and want to facetime from our macpro to the mac computer at home but both are registered under the same apple ID. What should we do ?
I will share with you what I have done to manage this with my family. While the solution isn't without flawes, it seems to do the trick. First, you need to have one person who is managing the synching of everyone's devices. In my family, I have three iphones, about to be four, and five ipads. We all synch to the same apple ID to allow one another to take seemless advantage of our Itunes, which is on our Imac. To synch individual music or video interests, we simply select which playlists we want and manually synch that way. A couple of us use imatch and the cloud to make the entire library accessable as well. With respect to the imessage, mail, contacts, etc. we each have a gmail account for our individual emails, contacts etc. So for instance, my forth grade daughter has a gmail account that we choose to synch her contacts, calendar, etc to and then that is also the account where she receives her imessages from on her ipad and itouch. My son, who has an iphone and ipad, does the same thing, but under settings, he goes to imessage and checks his phone number and his email as his preferred way to receive imessages and texts. My wife and I do the same thing. To avoid having everyone see one anothers contracts etc, we only synch contacts from our individual email accounts. Here is the downfall to this: When you update your phone or add a new device, apple always wants to reset everyone's facetime and imessage settings and then low and behold we are all receiving imessages from one another's friends etc. To work around this, I simply take each of their devices and go to their imessage settings and only check the email and phone numbers relative to their devices. I dont' know is this is the best solution, but it seems to work for us.

Why is all my icloud account linked with more than one apple id?
why is my iphone 5 merged with more than one account?
What do you mean by "merged with more than one account" and "linked with more than one Apple ID"? What exactly are you seeing on your phone?

Stop using the same Apple ID for iMessage on these devices. Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in using a unique ID for each device. (Or, just sign out and stop using your Apple ID for iMessage.)
