Hi: I think this is a common question - I seem to have two Apple ID's and need to know which one to use when activating a replacement iphone5

Hi:
I have 2 Apple ID's.
The first is the ID I established when I bought my first MacBook Pro several years ago.
When Mobile Me ended, I migrated to a new Apple ID that is associated with icloud and that ID has its own password.
On the first iphone 5 I purchased I used the "original ID" and noticed that I'm not receiving any email messages from my mac mail account. I assume this is because I used the original ID and not the new icloud ID.
Now that Apple has sent a replacement phone (issue with loose power button) I'd like to know if I'm supposed to use the iCloud ID to get the mail app to function properly....I've read this on the forums.
Well....thought I'd test out the procedure on the old phone before activating the new phone.....it doesn't seem to work.
I erased all content and settings, and tried to set up the device as new rather then restore from icloud.....I got an error message saying the password and User ID did not match. I then reset my icloud password for my .me user ID.....same message came up, i.e., wrong password.
I'd like to get this figured out as I use three email accounts and would like each of them to "work" on the phone.
Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.

Ok, fair enough. But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible. I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones. Because of the vast ammount of leaks. With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers. It's possible to do so, I just want to know how. I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

Sounds like a hardware issue. Bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

Basic Question on Copy and Delta link which one to use when?

Hi
Its basic question
My understanding about copy and Delta link is
Copy doesnot ahve direct relationship with source object (but it acts as a sibling) any changes done to spurce object does not affect target object.
Where as Delta link will have a parent child relation ship between source object bacially its a copy of source and inherits id properties. in case if i change source object does this affect target object, we can delete, add content to delta link target object.
let's say if i want to use standard quickpoll iView do i need to use copy or delta link similarly for other iviews, worksets, roles which one will be better.
Regards,
Murali

Murali,
Yes, your understanding is right.
Case 1 : Copy
A- Object
B- Copy of A
Both of them are independent.Any changes in A are not dependent on B and vice versa.
Case 2 : Delta Link
A - Object
B - Copy of A (via Delta link)
Any changes to A are reflected in B, as A is a parent and B a child.
But B would be an independent entity.Any changes to B would not effect A.
When you use either of them, depends on your need. When you are working with standard iviews or roles or workset, you can do a copy of the original, because in most cases we would not make changes to the standard roles or worksets or iviews. There by eliminating the process of making a delta copy.
But, if you are dealing with the roles that you have created and want to make a copy of it, you can use a delta link, because, even if you want to add more iviews and worksets to that role, they would get reflected when you make a delta copy.
Hope that helps.

This devise is already associated with a apple ID you can download past purchase with just one apple ID every 90 days .you can out associate this device with a different ID for 2 days

I want to update my current iOS from 4.2.1 to 5.0.1 for the Assistive Touch feature that allows you to have an on screen home button
I tried downloading the file myself (not through iTunes), making sure I got the iPod 4G file. Go into iTunes and install it and it says it cannot upgrade because the firmware is not compatible
iOS 4.2.1 - there's a clue. It begs the question about which model of iPod you have. Yes, I know you said: (and yes, I have a 4G) by which I assume you're saying that you have a 4th generation Touch, but are you sure? This has been claimed before by people who then discover that they do not have a 4th gen Touch. Which size Touch do you have and what is the model number on the back of your iPod? If it says model A1288, that's a 2nd generation iPod Touch. Check this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for help in identifying your model of iPod.
The second clue - and the reason I've mentioned all this, is that you then say you have downloaded the file yourself but "it cannot upgrade because the firmware is not compatible." In other words, iOS 5.0 cannot be used with your iPod. That also suggests that you have 2nd gen Touch.
Persumbaly, you have tried connecting the Touch to iTunes and selecting "check for updates?" What does it say?

Hi Fellow Apple Users, I have a question. I have purchased a new computer and need to know how to transfer my old itunes to my new computer.

Please HELP

We have two apple ID's and two libraries. My daughter's IPOD is syncing with my library and I need to change this, but I can't figure out how.

We have two apple ID's and two libraries. My daughter's iPOD is syncing with my library and we really want to go to just one library--Mine for ease and we can't figure out how to do it. Please help!!!

Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.

This is a common question, and i apologize, but I have yet to see an answer. I'm in the UK. I have bought an Airport Extreme. I need to buy a moden (not a combined router/modem, presumably.) I cannot find one in stores or on the web. Please help.

I need a modem to go with my new Airport Extreme. I assume I cannot connect with my existing Router/Modem. I can't find a product either in stores or on the net. I know this is a common question, but I have yet to find a suitable answer. Any advice for a fairly low tech guy?
David

I'm glad you're able to use your current router. Sorry I can't help with your new issue, but I just wanted to add for the benefit of anyone else reading this thread - the X-Modem M3 still seems to be available from the manufacturers, this is the site I originally got it from and it's still for sale there:
http://www.adslnation.com/phpapps/catalog/index.php?cPath=29
Thought I'd mention, as when I got my Airport I spent ages looking for a really small neat modem to use with it and this was the best I could find so other people might be interested too.

HT204053 I have two Apple IDs current. On my iPhone one appears in settings iCloud and this is the id associated with my iMac.

I have two Apple IDs current. One my iPhone one appears in Settings/iCloud and this is the ID associated with my iMac. The second appears on my iPhone when I connect to the App Store to purchase or update. I have forgottenthe password for this ID and also the secuity questions. Attempts to reset the password by email have been unsuccessful as no email has been received and I have lost the answers to security questions. How can I reinstate this ID? Help please

Call Apple Care for your country and ask for help resetting the password and the security questions.

What happens if you think you have two apple IDs?

I think I have two apple IDs. One I created many years ago with an IPod, but I don't know what that one is now. It has most of my music attached to it. Now I have one with my email that doesn't have all that music and I can't get the music to attach to it??

Content from the iTunes Store is permanently bound to the Apple ID through which the content was purchased. If you used two different Apple IDs, you'll need to use both IDs to authorize computers, view your purchase history, or re-download items. If you can't remember an ID or its password, try this page:

this says it all..

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Contact Apple through iTunes Store Support, and explain that you have forgotten your 3 security questions, that you can reset your password, but doing so doesn't reset your security questions.
Remember, support will receive hundreds, if not thousands of requests per day, some from people trying it on, others with little explanation and others that are written extremely poorly. Take the time to explain your situation properly, be precise and concise, brief but comprehensive.

Last point...who archives? On my regular email page I now have the Archive icon to the left of my Delete icon which I would prefer was to the left, first in the line as this is the icon I use mostly. With Folders, my Sent and Trash lists, who needs to archive?
I can help you only with the placement of the icon placement -- if you right-mouse click on the toolbar, then select Customize Toolbar, you can move an icon to where you want it to be.

I think I screwed up my migration. I turned off the sub-accounts on my Mobile Me Family Pack before I hit the button to move my account. Now it seems I have delete all of my family's email accounts. Can they be re-activated/retrieved?

I think I screwed up my migration. I turned off the sub-accounts on my Mobile Me Family Pack before I hit the button to move my account. Now it seems I have deleted all of my family's email accounts. Can they be re-activated/retrieved? The instructions at that point were vague to non-existent.

I'm tryin to move my account to iCloud too and I have sub accounts. I deleted a couple of the sub accounts and found that one of them (didn't try the other one) couldn't login anymore. I haven't moved to iCloud yet and I was able to re-establish the sub account. I had another go at moving to iCloud and noticed that I may not need to delete the sub accounts, it just warns that I won't be able to add or delete them after moving to iCloud. Maybe that is the way to go. Move the main account to iCloud without deleting the sub accounts?? Maybe this will leave the sub account owners able to move in their own time.
I don't know if you can fix what you have done if you have already moved to iCloud with your main account. Might be time for you visit the local Genius Bar or call Apple support.
I may try a visit to my local Genius Bar over the weekend if I can make an appointment ;-)
