Change the Apple ID for a game and not lose the progress made?

Short version of my question: can I change the apple id associated with a game to another one and not lose the progress made in the game thus far?
Long version: when there were only a few iGadgets in the house, all games and music were downloaded through Alpha's apple id and the credit card tied to that account. Now, we two folks have multiple iGadgets between the both of us and Beta has her own apple ID. Because we only used one apple id for so long, Beta has some games installed through Alpha's account and her own Beta account. Beta would now like to change the account the game PocketTimeSuck is associated with from Alpha's account to Beta's account without losing any of the progress made in this game which she has been playing for over a year.
Is there any way of re-installing PocketTimeSuck onto Beta's device under Beta's apple ID and maintain the progress in the game she has made after installing it under Alpha's apple id? Alpha would like to start playing PocketTimeSuck but cannot install it under her own apple id because it comes with all of Beta's progress.
(Also, if this is not the right forum, please let me know where I should post this question. Don't flame me, just tell me.)

I'm getting confused by the Greek alphabet here so I will explain it this way and hope I understand what you are asking.
Beta has been playing a game that she downloaded using Alpha's ID but now Beta would like to transfer the game and all of its progress to her own ID. That is not possible to do. The game was bought with Alpha's ID and is now associated with that ID and that progress is part of Alpha's backup.
Alpha now wants to play the game under her own ID but the game is associated with her ID already. If she wanted to, she could just pick up where beta left off and leave Beta out in the cold. Somehow I don't think that is a good solution for either Alpha or Beta.
Alpha should probably create a new Game Center account and start all over again with her own Game Center account. Beta will obviously have to do the same thing if she wants to play this game using her own Apple ID on her own iGadget.
So if I do understand correctly, Alpha and Beta will both have to start over again. Howver, I could be confused because this is all "Greek to me".

How do I upload pictures from my iphone to a new computer and not lose them

My laptop crashed so I bought a new computer and iTunes says if I sync my pictures they'll be replaced with what's on the new computer. There are no pictures on the new computer. So how do I get them off my phone and not lose them too?

Click here and follow the instructions. Once the photos are on your computer, put a copy of them onto an external drive.

Can I dump a .Mac account from Mail on 1 computer and not lose the data on

I have 3 Macs: eMac, intel iMac, Macbook; all are using Mac Mail. 2 users look at our single .mac IMAP account daily; my son never uses it on his machine. Consequently he's accumulated thousands of messages, attachments, etc. on his machine that he'll never use. I want to dump the .mac account from his machine but I know If I delete messages on one machine it will dump them from the server. Can I first delete the account on the intel iMac, then go to the appropriate mail folder on his machine & empty it of files to reduce the clutter without affecting what's on the .Mac server and subsequently the messages on the other 2 machines?
Thanks for your help

If the messages are on the server then there are no messages on his machine. Thus, if you dump the account all the messages on the server will be permanently lost. An IMAP account leaves all messages on the server.

How can I transfer photos from my iMac to my iPad and not lose the ones already stored on the iPad.

How can I transfer photos from my iMac to my iPad and not lose the ones already stored on the iPad? When using iTunes to sync a folder from the iMac to the iPad it always removes anything previously synced.
Help appreciated
David

I've just found out the reason for this behaviour. I am syncing from a computer which is different to the one I first synced with. iTunes can't cope with this situation so deletes anything synced from another source.

How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat.

How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat. We had this working using Messages and Facetime (on the new machine) talking to my existing iChat account. One day last week, when Facetime rang, my kids answered on the iPad. Dang! Now it's all fouled up! The new iMac won't see my AIM account name and shows that I'm offline, because the iPad is off. We were able to call using "most recent call" in Facetime, but now I can't go and control that new iMac remotely to help with some email concerns the user is having. I'm trying to not personalize this too much, but it's grandkids talking to Grandma and Mom and Dad trying to solve new machine hiccups. Normally, I could just go in via iChat and control the other machine and troubleshoot, but I can't do it with Facetime only. My buddy list doesn't see the other computer even though we are connected on Facetime right now. My name is not highlighted for the other computer. What could have gone so wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

You can't reformat it and not wipe everything on it.
Have you tried a different USB port?
Only other option, back it up on a different computer.

What randers4 said. HOWEVER, if the photos were taken with a higher resolution camera than the iPhone what you recover will not be as high a resolution as the originals.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
All iWork apps allow you to save your documents on your computer. You will be able to choose the destination when you want to save a document.
You can also disable iCloud for some apps. To do that, go to System Preferences -> iCloud, press "Options" next to "iCloud Drive" and disable the apps you want to.
If you have lost your old documents, you should have a backup that you made before upgrading to OS X Yosemite, so you only have to restore it.

IPlanet Calendar Server 5.0 WCAP commands fetchcomponents_by_range,fetchevents_by_id,fetchtodos_by_id returns the event dtstart & dtend in GMT and not in the timezone (tzid) specified in the command

hi,
i am vinod from knowledge systems pvt ltd. we are the partners with the iplanet india for customer support.
problem description :
m fetchcomponents_by_range,m fetchevents_by_id,m fetchtodos_by_id returns the event dtstart & dtend in GMT and not the timezone (tzid) requested
i have an development issue with the iplanet calendar server 5.x.if i execute WCAP command storeevents.wcap as follows for storing an event
http://localhost:portnumber/storeevents.wcap?id=n38tew98wbhhv95s&calid=userA&tzid=America/Indianapolis&rid=0&dtstart=20020419T050000Z&duration=PT1H0M&summary=eventtest&fmt-out=text/xml
in the calendar server the dtstart and the dtend for this event is as follows
dtStart = 1019210400 (20020419T100000Z) [19-Apr-02 10:00AM GMT] (isDate = 0)
dtEnd = 1019214000 (20020419T110000Z) [19-Apr-02 11:00AM GMT] (isDate = 0)
NOTE : in the WCAP command i had specified the time in America/Indianapolis i,e 0500 hrs behind GMT(-0500) hence the server stores the dtstart & dtend in the GMT which is perfect as explained in the docs.
Now for retreving the same event i execute the following command
http://localhost:portnumber/fetchcomponents_by_range.wcap?id=n38tew98wbhhv95s&rid=0&calid=vt&tzid=America/Indianapolis&fmt-out=text/xml
the result has the event details but the dtstart & dtend are in GMT and not in the America/Indianapolis timezone requested.
<START>20020419T100000Z</START>
<END>20020419T110000Z</END>
NOTE : the Mime type requested in the WCAP is text/xml. the expected dtstart is 20020419T050000Z and dtend is 20020419T060000Z applied to the timezone specified in the tzid parameter(America/Indianapolis)
issue :
m fetchcomponents_by_range,m fetchevents_by_id,m fetchtodos_by_id returns the event dtstart & dtend in GMT and not the timezone (tzid) requested
docs says the following which is not true for retrieving the events.....
For example, if a command such as storeevents or fetchcomponents_by_range
specifies a tzid parameter, the parameter value must be a tzid that is defined in the list of 91 time zones. The server will return data in that time zone and all data will have dates applied to that time zone.If the command specifies an unrecognized tzid, the server will return a GMT timezone by default. All data returned on that command will have its dates applied in GMT.
release notes has the following. i could not understand the point no. 1 could u please suggest me how to retrieve the event with dtstart & dtend values applied to the timezone supplied in the parameter tzid.
1. The following seven commands now take an additional parameter, tzid:
m deleteevents_by_id
m deletetodos_by_id
m fetchcomponents_by_alarmrange
m fetchcomponents_by_lastmod
m fetchcomponents_by_range
m fetchevents_by_id
m fetchtodos_by_id
The value of tzid must be a time zone ID string, such as “America/Los_Angeles”. Note that these are not localized. If other ISO 8601 DateTime string parameters, such as rid, dtstart and dtend, do not have a “Z” on the end, this parameter determines the time zone to use.
2. The following two commands, which already have the tzid parameter, have been modified:
m storeevents
m storetodos
The value is no longer a quoted string, but is now a time zone ID string to match the acceptable values for tzid in the seven commands listed above.The default value of the tzid parameter in all commands is the server's default time zone. This is a change for storeevents and storetodos.
thanks

I have found the solution! I post how I managed in case someone else has the same issue.
You have to go to "Settings" -> "Settings Editor".
There, there is a "display" entry.
When you open the tree, you can see both of your displays (in my case, LVDS1 and VGA1).
Under VGA1 (the "extra" monitor), there is a "Position" entry. There, you need to set the "X" variable to the last pixel of the other display resolution.
E.g.: if you principal display is a "1366x768", then the "X" value will be 1366.
You can also play on the "Y" if your screens are not horizontally aligned, but 0 should be fine.
I hope this helps :-)

HT1212 How to reset your iPad without having it synced to a computer and not knowing your password?

How To reset iPad without having it synced to a computer and not knowing the password???? I changed my password and have forgotten it is there any way I can access and get on it??? Thanks

You must use a computer. There is no way around it for you.
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad. You will have to download all of your purchased content again after you unlock the device.
You will have to use recovery mode
