Help with Apple IDs and iTunes please

One family member has an iPad2 with one Apple ID that is authorized in iTunes on a Win7 laptop. That laptop has one Windows user account. Some apps, books, etc were purchased with that iPad2.
We recently got a hold of an old iPhone to use as an iPod Touch / super-mini iPad-Mini. Can I use a separate Apple ID for that iPhone on the same Win7 laptop in the same iTunes as above? So can iTunes (the program) on one computer be authorized for multiple Apple IDs? No apps, music, etc need to be shared.
Thank you!

If she doesn't have an iCloud account on her iPhone or iPad now, you can just go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with a different Apple ID to set up the new account, then turn on the data that you want to sync with iCloud. She can continue to use the same ID for the App and iTunes store; it doesn't need to be the same as the the ID she uses for iCloud.
If she is already sharing your iCloud account on her devices, you should go to Settings>iCloud on her phone, tap Delete Account (which only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud), when prompted choose Keep on My iPhone, then set up a new account by signing back in with a different Apple ID. Then turn on the data she wants to sync with iCloud, and when prompted, choose Merge to upload her data to the new account. After doing this on her phone, go to Settings>iCloud on her iPad, tap Delete Account, when prompted choose Delete from my iPad, then sign into the new account just created on her phone using the new ID and turn on her data syncing to sync the iCloud data in the new account to her iPad. Finally, if you have any merged data in your accounts from sharing the original account, you'll need to go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and delete the data you don't want from each account.

Issues with multiple apple IDs and iTunes accounts

I work in an office that is all mac based and have mac computers at home. I have an apple ID and iTunes account for personal use where I purchase books and music and I have an office apple ID and iTunes account to share calendars with colleagues using iCloud and purchase work related apps like upgrades to operating systems, etc.
I have an iPhone that is set up with my personal apple ID so that my music is on my phone and so that the photo streaming is attached to personal photos, etc. Is there a way to sync my personal contacts with my contacts that are registered with my professional apple ID? Ideally, I would like to have my iOS devices syncing my calendar and contacts with my work apple ID and my music and photos with my personal ID. Is there any hope or am I stuck?
Thanks for any help anyone might have...

Welcome to the Apple community.
So far as contacts and calendars go, you can share your works data and your personal data with your iOS device by entering the second account as a secondary account in settings > mail, contacts and calendars.
You should also be aware that your iCloud and iTunes accounts and different accounts, you do not have to use the same ID for both.

Help with new MBP and iTunes

I need some help fast. I bought my wife a new MBP and in setting everything up we inadvertently setup a new and wrong iTunes account. We haven't transferred anything yet, I want to get this account off her computer before I bring everything from her Win 7 machine.
Can't find any specific instructions, can somebody help me out?
Thanks!
Mark

It's late so this will be rather short:
1. Make sure you update the older version of iTunes to the latest version
2. Go into iTunes Settings and Authorize iTunes with your Apple ID and Password
3. In settings, turn off Automatice sync
4. Connect your iPad and once recognized, right click the device from the left side of the the iTunes screen
5. Transfer purchases
6. You can then sync
A lot to digest and I don't have the time to walk you through every step. If you need to, google the points and you'll find lot's of information on where to find these in iTunes.

I am problems with Apple TV and iTunes streaming

When streaming a movie via AirPlay to my Apple TV 2 from iTunes on my mac the Apple TV keeps either loosing the homesharing or just stops playing and goes back to the main menu. It does it weather sending from the mac to Apple TV or pulling from Apple TV and the same via Ethernet or wifi. Wifi begins streaming quickly but Ethernet can take ages befor streaming begins.
I can use airplay on my iPad fine to watch movies off of the mac and also to send to the Apple TV. Plex works great when using the mac as a server. i stream the movie from the plex server via the plex app on the iPad and then sending to Apple TV via AirPlay.
The problem only seems to be with the Apple TV/ iTunes combo.
Thanks in advance for any help. Been driving me crazy for days.

thanks but I have not upgraded to Yosemite. I have Lion 10.7.5
And like I said it a previous post took the machine to Apple Genuis and he said it was good to go!
Thank You

Apple ids and itunes going haywire

I've been buying apps for my iphone and music trouble free for years. A week after having to rebuild my hard drive, I try to re-sync my iPhone. It announces that a bunch of apps and songs aren't authorized. I'm pretty sure I am using the same apple ID. Why some and not others? Can I get Apple to find any other Apple IDs I might have and merge them?

Help with Quiz pages and buttons (please)

We use Captivate 6 with a subscription. I have put together a couple of modules with question pools, and some with just a few questions pages inserted. The last time I created a new captivate project, I put inserted quiz pages and the buttons were different then they had been before. The first few times they were grey, now they are green and a bit smaller. Looking at the proporties for each page and button, I cannot see anything that is different othe than one is a text button and the other is a transparent button. Both buttons are marked as default quiz button style. I don't use any themes. To make this short, I would like to know if there is a way to make the buttons the same every time I add a page, or a pool? I am not yet up to designing my own buttons, but probably will here shortly. Right now I need to get some training modules completed as quickly as possible so I don't have the time to reinvent the wheel (so to speak). The only other thing that I noticed was different in the projects was that in the skin editor one uses one called [default](modifired) and the other one uses one that I created. HOWEVER, I have another one that uses my custome skin and the buttons are grey on that one which is the same as the default one. I don't think the skin has anything to do with the button look. Correct me gently if I am wrong on this.
Thanks for the help.

Just one remark: in CP6 you always use a theme. And quiz slides have their own master slides, that will always be used. The buttons take on the style you see on those master slides, and this style can also be found in the object style manager. Skin and object styles are part of the theme. Probably you have overridden some of the styles defined?

Help with iPod alarm and playlist, please

Hello friendly iPod people...
I am the happy owner of a brand new 20GB iPod with color display. I use the iPod for different things, and one of them is to listen to music as I go to bed (with a set of powered speakers). Since I now have a new version of the iPod (I am replacing a 2G unit), I would like to use the alarm setting to wake to music as well. I tried it this morning, and it seems that the iPod will not wake from sleep to play music. The alarm/playlist will start if the iPod has not gone to sleep, but to me that seems like a silly way for the alarm to function.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this one of the limitations of the alarm function?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Michael

Great News!
I've figured out the reason it wasn't working and was able to "wake to music" this morning:
Yes, you need to run "Sleep Timer" as the shut-down method in order for the Alarm to awaken with a playlist, AND the playlist needs to be at least as long as the sleep timer setting--many of mine were slightly less than 60 minutes, and I was using the 60 minute timer. Last night I tried a playlist that was much longer than 60 minutes for sure, ran the sleep timer and set the alarm to music at 6 am. Imagine my surprise when my music began playing softly playing, just as planned, at 6 am!!!!
So, thanks for all your supportive comments, and I hope this helps anyone else who was working on this. I now know to pay more attention to the length of my playlists.
Cheers,
Michael

Having issue with Airport Express and Itunes - Please Help

Ok, I am having a very odd issue with my wireless music network all of a sudden, and it's driving me nuts. I have searched the forum and I don't get the sense that anyone else is having this issue.
My house consists of multiple machines, but I have my music on two computers - my G5 desktop and a Mac Mini. I am in the process of encoding all of my CDs to Apple Lossless for storage on the G5, and access of this library provided to all machines on the network (6 total including the G5).
I have 2 airport express units in the house, each connected to a stereo. I have been using this setup for about a year or so, with no problems.
Suddenly now, when playing music wirelessly, the music (and I know this is going to sound weird) has intermittent popping, will skip alot (like a CD player skips), and seems to almost speed up during the skipping. It is SO weird, and I have no clue how to fix it.
I am mainly confused as to where the issue could be coming from. Is it the airport network? Is something wrong with Itunes? Something wrong with the machines? Interference in the home? B/c I have not had this issue before, I am not sure how to even troubleshoot it. I do know that until about a month ago, I had none of these issues.
Within the last 30 days, the only changes that I made were that 1) I have been encoding files to Apple Lossless (but I had some of these before with no streaming issues), 2) I purchased a Mac Mini (not sure what impact this would have), and I upgraded to the latest Itunes.
Any thoughts you can provide for me are very appreciated. ***** to finally be setting up this music server and now start having wireless music issues. Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm also suffering from skipping/sped up music, only when streaming certain internet radio stations to my Express (for example, friskyRadio in the electronica section). Mine's setup not to distribute IP addresses, if that's relevant.
Other than installing iTunes version 7 (now at 7.0.1) nothing has changed on my network, or on my computer.

Apple IDs and iTunes

Whilst setting up my iPhone wrt iCloud and iOS5, I accidentally associated it with the wrong Apple ID - this was a genuine mistake, not trying to cheat anybody out of anything.
Is there any way I can get the 90 day bar on re-associating devices to IDs?
The problem I have is that I don't want to purchase music with the ID I've actually associated the device to, as I'll be re-associating to the correct ID asap.

Contact itunes support and ask.

Can anyone help with my iPad and iTunes?

I have just plugged in my ipad into my mac and it is asking do I wish to set it up as a new device or sync it with my other devices ie iPhone. My ipad has completely different devices and I do not wish to lose everything on my iPad. Can you help??

Leighs21, I believe it is asking if you would like to Set the device up as new (with computer, Choose yes) or if you would like to restore from a backup of another device. Setting up as new is just on the computers end, not your entire device. This is because it is the first time you are plugging into itunes with that device or the first time after a restore or erased content and settings. Let me know if this helped you. Get an iCloud back up if you are concerned.
Thanks,

Alright I give! I need some help with groups/busses and more please..

Hi all,
Well, its now been a few weeks of my off and on testing with my new Logic Rig, I have every plug I can transfer over to UB that I can and now am trying to get deeper into things.
First I struggled with learning the environment (I still dont get it fully) but now I am really confused about group and fx tracks.
- Am I missing something or is everything just a buss turned into a group? This also included creating an FX track?
If this is the case then its not nearly as complex as I think it is but I cant figure certain things out with the way logic handles naming in regards to its busses.
Lets say I want to create a sidechain group. I take an audio track change it to represent buss (1), I then rename buss 1 to SC-GROUP, now any window that I drop down to find the newly names SC-GROUP always remains named as buss (1). This even happens when I rename the buss direct from the audio environment.
I must be missing something, whats been confusing the heck out of me is that no matter how I try and name things they always remain their original names in any menues as the example of the buss (1), so how do I rename these channels so I can clearly know exactly where I am routing audio?
So lets summarise where I am lost so far hehe.
1. Are groups really just empty busses renamed to act as a group?
2. How can I rename a buss/group and be able to see the renamed channel in the menues.
and for the 3rd new question of sorts...
3. FX Sends, again is this just a buss that has an AU inserted into its channel and then rout the insert of an additional audio channel to the buss with the FX inserted?
and now my last uestion of the day if I have not confused you to death so far
Why is it that when I add a AU lets say battery as instrument 1, when I add another in the window and I rerout an instrum,ent track the next AU shows up at the bottom of the list instead of inst. 2?
If I am not explaining myself clearly enough for any of my examples let me know so I can try to better represent my questions. I am still so new to Logic and still have yet to get the bulk of the simple operations down just yet..
Thanks again for all your asistance!

Thank you guys,
So if I understand right, a sub buss is nothing more than a routing the output of a few channels to a buss to control a few aspects like I had mentioned compressing an entire group of tracks EG: a drum buss (in this situation a drum sub buss?).
So I will have to reffer to the manual again to read the details on an actual group since it does seem there is a difference EG: the group can actually manipulate the faders of channels routed to the group?
FX busses seem to be just that, slap an FX info either and AUX channel or a buss and then set the insert of that AUX or buss desired.
The reason I asked about naming is that lets say I have 6 effects tracks I wish to use lets say as an example AUX1=Short Delay, AUX2=Long Filter Delay, AUX3=Slap Verb, AUX4=Long Verb and so forth.
When I go to actually use these inserts I need to assume I know exactly what AUX I assigned each effect to, if I could simply rename this AUX track to refference the effect it would make so much more sense then trying to remember what AUX5 was.
In regards to my last question here is a bit more of a detailed explanation, please bare with me as I am not in front of my computer.
1. I add battery into Audio Instrument-1
2. I then configure my environemt to use my AUXs I already have inplace for audio routing.
3. I then edit the Audio window create the midi for a new multi-instrument.
4. I come back to the main arrange window and hold-click on the next available audio-instrument and in the instrument window battery will be instrument 1 out of how ever many blanks apear EG:25+
5. Now I go to add lets say Stylus RMX into the next available mutli audio instrument. I then repeat steps 2,3,4.
Now when I get to step 4 this time instead of audio instrument 2 from the lint being Stylus it shows up as the last possible instrument in the drop list that appears under audio instrument from hold-click on the audio-instrument track.
Its just odd, it should be instrument 2, but instead it shows up as the last possible choice.
Maybe I am doing something wrong, even sometimes when I grab on of batteries midi tracks and create next object I will get a random audio track in there out of no where, or maybe its just a bug with battery.
Any ideas? If I still am not describing this right, I will post a step by step this eve of exactly the steps I am taking.
Thanks again, this forum has been very helpful in getting me going with the questions I just cant seem to get around from my Nuendo work flow.
Cheers!

Help with Flex preloading and transitions please

I downloaded and installed Flex Builder 3, and I think I have
my slideshow project about 75% finished. It's the last 25% that I
can't figure out, regarding preloading and transitions. Can someone
take a look at the code below and see if you can help me? I tried
to write the code in such a way that you can debug it from any
computer as it's calling an PHP/XML file and images that are on a
server.
Here's what's finished...
1. PHP file looks at image files on server and builds XML
file.
2. Flex app calls PHP file and traverses the XML in the
response.
3. Flex app figures out how many "slides" there and displays
the slides one at a time, each slide with 3 images, with a 5 second
delay between "slides."
Here's what's not finished...
1. I would like a fade-out to white at the end of each slide,
and a fade-in from white at the beginning of each slide.
2. I need each slide to stay put intil the next slide is
pre-loaded. That is, during the 5 seconds that a slide is
displayed, the next 3 images need to be preloaded, and then the
slide should not progress to the next until slide is completely
loaded.
3. The very first slide should not appear until it is
completely loaded, and when it does appear, it should fade in from
white.
How do I do this?!? Please help! Here's the code...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

function ChangeImages():void {

PhotoB.load("

oXML.slide[iSlide].photo[1]["@filepath"]);
PhotoC.load("

oXML.slide[iSlide].photo[2]["@filepath"]);
iSlide++;
if (iSlide >= oXML.children().length())
iSlide = 0;
PhotoA.load("

oXML.slide[iSlide].photo[0]["@filepath"]);
PhotoB.load("

iSlide++;
if (iSlide >= oXML.children().length())
iSlide = 0;
setInterval(ChangeImages,5000);
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>

What you've done is beyond my capabilities, as of now. But, I
ran into the same problem with the fading in and out of the photos.
Here's my solution.
I defined my fade with only the id and the duration
parameters. No 'from' and 'to'.
Then I used the 'showEffect' and 'hideEffect' parameters.
showEffect="{bannerFade}" hideEffect="{bannerFade}"
Works like a charm for my project.
I hope this helps.
