Home Media experience for the whole family

I'm new to using iTunes. I just recently got an iPhone 4s and even more recently; an iPad. I live in my house with my wife and 3 children. We all have iPhones and iPads. I think everyone already has their own Apple ID account. I have a home wifi network and a Windows 2008 server with a file share of some .mp4 video files. I bought iHome Server (software) and I like it because is auto tags the movie files meta data, and keeps iTunes up and running on the Windows 2008 server. Right now I have my iPhone, iTunes (on the server), and iPad all using my Apple ID and I can watch movies on the iPad and iPhone with the Home Share just fine.
HOWEVER, how do I allow my wife and kids to stream movies to their Apple devices on our home network? My understanding in that Home Sharing requires all devices to use the same Apple ID account. Can I create a new Apple ID account just for the media home share? Is it possible to setup the iPhones and iPads to use one Apple ID account for buying apps and such from the iTunes Store, yet another Apple ID for streaming from the home share? Will it allow all of these devices to connect? If every iPhone and iPad in my house were to connect to my media share that's 5 iPhones and 5 iPads! If I get all of this figured out, I may even include a couple of Apple TV's!
I'm trying to create a total home entertainment experience, and I'm just looking for how to accomplish this.

Free wholesome fun gaming for the whole family.

If anyone is familiar with Pogo.com , Pogo has game nights now and then to get people accquainted with eachother and the games you play. I think Boggle Bash and Yahtzee Party are 2 prime examples of getting the family together. Board gaming has become so interactive online that many people are forgetting the family values of actually opening up a real board game and playing with the whole family.

i already have a DSL cable line on the second floor, so why can't i just split that line, and use one side for the computer (and the other side for the TV)?
I never heard of a DSL connection for a TV.
AFAIK DSL lines are extremely temperamental to voltage levels (that is why you must live within a certain distance of the telephone company's switch to use DSL) and simply soldering another connection wouldn't work.
...if i did decide to run an ethernet line downstairs, can i hook multiple ethernet lines up to one cable modem?
You would connect an inexpensive wired router to the cable modem. Then attach your multiple Ethernet lines to the LAN ports on the router.
So you have a cable modem in addition to your DSL?

We have 4 iphones in our family and an Ipad. When we purchase music I would like for the entire family to be able to use it. Should each of us use a different apple account or should we use the same one.

We have 4 iphones and an Ipad in our family. When we purchase music, I would like for the entire family to be able to use it and then back it up to Icloud. What is the best and cheapest way for this to happen. Should we all have a different apple id or should we use the same one.

You will all need to be on the same itunes account ID.
You can however all have seperate icloud accounts aswel.

Generation of Annual Leave Quota at a time for the whole year

Hi All,
Kindly give some suggestions.
I am working on Time evaluation. We have a quota , Annual leave which is now given on monthly basis, means lets 12 annual leave are for whole year and employee are getting 1 leave on each month.
Now my requirement is to give this quota at a time in the start of every year. That means all the 12 annual leave should be generated in the start of a year.
When I select the option no pro rata calculation then I am getting all this leave in the start of the year. But when an employee is joined in the mid of the year then also 12 leave is been generated which is not correct.
Please suggest me how to make this leave as prorated so that for new joinee , this leave is generated taking into account the period and generate the prorate value for the whole year at the time of joining.
Thanks
Tanuja.

Hi Sikinder,
I am using + time evaluation Status-2. We have to generate quota in PT60 for each period.
Write now we are getting annual leave quota getting generated in monthly basis. We want to genarate whole quota for the year in the 1st month of the year.
When I have given calender year in the accrual period , i am not getting any quota in the 1st month rather getting the whole quota in the end of the year.
Please suggest me what to do.
Regards,
Tanuja.

Plese go through the suggessitions.
1.avoide the select ...endselect. write the below select

2..first of all dont delete a record inside the loop. instead use the Field symobols.
have u obsereved you code in the loop!!!!. wht u r doing..
u r removing the same record which u in the loop..
If u wanto delete the entires with check to stat... then.. why dont u put the STAT field in Wher e condition..? by this you reduce the data base select time..
Now the select query is like the below....
CLEAR IT_ZVPRODDET.
SELECT DISTINCT

 DELETE IT_ZVPRODDET WHERE AUFNR = WA_ZVPRODDET-AUFNR.
ENDIF........ IN WHERE CONDION U R GIven all are constant values right?..
why u need select it inside the loop.. u can write before the SELECT from ZVPOD..
that why first checke this field then go for fur thure selects..
now u r code looks like this....
CLEAR TJ30T.
SELECT SINGLE TXT04

there are so many select inside the loop...... please Delete all of them.... write them be for the loop.......using the FOR ALL ENTRIES.....
THEN LOOP THE TABLE USING THE WHERE CONDITIONS.
Plese write u updated code here again..

Freight cost condition for the whole purchase order (Header relation)

Maybe you could help me out with the following difficulty regarding freight costs for the whole purchase orders from the mass maintenance transaction MEK1 for pricing conditions.
I try to have one freight condition for the whole purchase order.
For instance, I maintained in the transaction MEK1 for the condition FRA1 the key combination vendor and purchasing organization (table 44) and entered an absolute value of X EUR.
Unfortunately this condition will not pulled as header costs in the purchase order, because I would have had defined an access sequence in the condition type, but this is not allowed for header conditions in general.
Do you have any workaround to maintain an item condition, which works like a header condition, so that I am allowed to have an access sequence and be able to maintain MEK1?
Any comments and help are very welcome.
Many thanks in advance
Sabrina

Hi,
Fright and discount conditions are called supplement conditon type and they are always matained with main condition type.
Please check PB00 condition type in m/06 transaction. You will find pricing procedure assinged as RM0002 to PB00 condtion type.
So you can maintain fra1 and other supplement condtions in main condtion only in MEk1 trasnaction.
By selecting the line item and then shift + F7 you can maintain fright or discount condtions for PB00 condition types with out having access sequence for supplement condtion types.

MN05: setting the number of printer copies for the whole range of vendors

Hi all,
by t.code MN05 I can set the number of copies of the MM documents printed the FIRST TIME. I can do it for doc.type or vendor.
I can't set the number of printer copies for the whole range of vendors. Should I do it for each one of them?
Thanks
Gandalf

Unfortunately,
setting for document type, it doesn't work for all range of vendors.
Setting for document type, in the field "PartF" I've put in "OA". Could it depend on it?
you do for document type and then it will cover all range of vendors.
If you want prints for a specific vendor then set condition recrod for that vendor only.

After posting over 300 questions I would think you would be passed the "New to Java TechnologY" stage.
The answer for Swing applications is yes this can be done.
I don't know how to do it for AWT components.
Since you posted the question in this forum (as oppose to the Swing forum for Swing related problems), I'm assuming this is an AWT related question and therefore I can't help you.

One glitch after another. First it fails to find any contacts when creating a new SMS (I have 194 contacts in fact)....now it won't even recognize that the mini SD is installed. I'm seriously considering returning it.
Have you replaced the back on the phone? The phone won't find the card without the back in place.
And you don't have to switch the phone off to remove the card, either.
