Home pc shares two apple accounts. How do I back up my ipad with correct account? It always backups my husband's account and not mine.

We have one home pc that two of us share for itunes accounts. We each have our own apple id that is used when we download apps/music either through wi-fi or directly onto home pc. We now have an ipad and we are wanting to transfer data from my ipod info to my ipad. When we sync the new ipad, my husband's files/apps/music/etc. loads to the ipad instead of my data. When I set up the ipad, I entered my Apple id username/password, and when I open itunes on my computer, I log in with my username/password; however, after syncing the ipad, it is my husband's stuff that is on my ipad. What are we doing wrong?

How my wife and I do this is to have 2 separate log ins to our Mac. Each side has it's own iTunes set up and logged into out own account. So, when I know she's going to be hoarding the Mac I log into my iTunes account on my side and toggle (Upper right of screen for users) back to her side. So, anything I add to my iPad is wirelessly synced to my account.
On a Windows system I believe you should be able to do the same thing. So, I think it sounds like your logged into your system under the main user account and logging in and out of iTunes. I think in those cases it only keeps the primary users apps. Anyone else care to chime in?

You can't. But the buyer more than likely restored it because he/she could not use your Apple ID.

HT1766 What if an ipad is the only device you have from Apple? How could you back your things up with the cloud ?

Hi my issue is that I dropped my ipad, and the screen is now blue. I have tried pressing the power button and the center button (I even pit it on the charger), but the screen is still blue. My questions are am i covered to get a replacement, and how do I back-up my stuff with the cloud if the ipad is my only apple device?

If you didn't have iCloud backup turned on before you broke it, you are out of luck.
Accidental damage is not covered by warranty.
You can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for around $250.

If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.

I have got two Apple ID how do I get rid of one of them

I have got two Apple ID how do I get rid of one

At present there is no way to combine 2 Apple IDs and once an Apple ID is created it never goes away.
All you can do is Not Use the one you no longer want. Just let it fade away. The only problem with that is anything that is now registered to it or that you bought from any of the Apple store with it can not be transferred to some other Apple ID. So you would need to repurchase those items under the Apple ID you want to keep.

After getting a new desktop I downloaded iTunes and authorized my new computer and then de-authorized my old one, When I try to update my 5S it says my phone is not authorized and list my wifes email address as the account holder and not mine. How do I correct this. I am using Windows 8.1 . My wife has never had an iTuunes account

Hello Lakesidetom,
It sounds as though you are experiencing an issue with an Apple ID and authorizations. Based on your post, it sounds like you are familiar with the authorizing and deauthorizing process. The Apple ID in question (your wife's email) may be originating from the iPhone you are attempting to update. Is it possible that your wife created an Apple ID or iCloud account which is signed in on that iPhone? Below, I have included links to some resources that may help you determine if your wife has created an Apple ID:

How can i open my locked ipad with a forgotten apple id?

how can i open my locked ipad with a forgotten apple id?

If you’re being asked for your own Apple ID, either use Apple’s iForgot service or contact their Account Security team.
If you’re being asked for someone else’s Apple ID, you need to contact the device’s original owner(if this is you, take the device and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store) or the person who set the lock.

Settings > Store > Apple ID. Sign out and sign in with the correct one. Note that all apps are forever tied to the account they are purchased under.

Back up your iPhone With iTunes on your computer. You can then transfer your iPhone's backup to your iPad with iTunes.

How can I sync my new iPad with my itunes account on my 4 yr old macbook? I plugged the iPad in once and all music synced. The 2nd time it said update needed. Mac says no update available.

" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab. Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours. Did you let someone else use your iPhone?
