  • How to set up myself as family share organizer with my own Apple id when someone else has gotten a new phone and used my Apple ID on it and set up family share for themselves?

    its my Apple ID and it's basically been hijacked on a device I dont own and someone else has been set up as family share organizer in my own Apple ID and I can't seem to do anything about it.

    You really need to get the apple id straightened out before you start, or you will pay the price forever!   You have a couple of options.  I assume your dad is cooperating with this project.  I think you are probably right about using his apple account.
    Make sure you have established the second e mail address and that to works.
    Log onto apple.com, and in the upper right, log into the account.  Once in the accout, click on the area where you can change you data, and add the second email address.    Apple wil verify the adress by send it an e mail, and won't do anything further until you respond to an e mail sent to that address, so watch for it.
    After the address is verified, on your accout page, make that address your primary address contact from apple.  That way if apple sends confirmations for apps and things, they will go to the new address, and your mom won't see them.  Then set the pad up using the same aple Id as your dad.  Remember, you have not changed the apple id or the password, you have only changed the e mail address for contact.   ( you can change it back after the surprise)
    The other suggestion...  I have given a coule of pads to folks, and one of the real fun parts for them and for you is o
    Ending the box, and doing the set up.  It is a great way for them to learn enough to use it.  Press the buttons etc.  pick their own apps.  You can gift her all the apps you want, and she can learn how to download them herself.
    I gave a pad to mom in law, and did pretty much what you are planning, and at the end of the day, having it all set when she openied it made it harder for her to learn, rather than easier.
    But you are doing a god thing, and I am sure she will enjoy the pad.

  • How do I set up Family Sharing for my kids without owning a device myself?

    My kids received iPads for Christmas. I neither have an iPad nor an iPhone, but I would like to set up Family Sharing.  How can I do this from my account without owning one of said devices?  I have installed iCloud for Windows, but I cannot log into it (valid iTunes account, but not set up for iCloud).
    I cannot be the only parent in the world whose kids have iPads, but I don't.
    Many thanks

    Hey Wendaroski,
    I am not quite sure what you mean by "my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account" but what you need for each family member is an Apple ID. Yours would be the one for your iTunes account.
    If the other members of the family already have an Apple ID you can invite them to join the family group. If not they will need to create one, using their email address. This article shows how -

  • My daughter set the lock code for my second or first generation ipod and i dont know what numbers she pressed. The ipod was loaded on a pc in Texas, and i'm currently in Georgia. I have a laptop, but I dont want to wipe out all my music. HELP!!!

      My daughter has interrupted business as usual because she decided to change the passcode on my ipod. This is a first or second generation nano maybe, and it was loaded on a pc in Texas. I dont want to lose the songs that my mom loaded for me because they're irretreivable. Could someone tell me the process to unlock my ipod from my laptop, but reserve my exsisting music?

    Try connecting the iPod to the computer your normally sync it with.  Then properly eject it.  Upon doing so, you may discover that your iPod is unlocked.  If it is, make sure to disable the Screen Lock or change the code to something you can remember.
    Otherwise, if that doesn't work, your only option at that point is to restore the iPod via iTunes.  And yes this will involve wiping all content and settings from the iPod.  Afraid there is no other way.

  • How can I set up my Mac for two users to share photos, music etc

    How can I set up my Mac for two users to share photos, music etc?

    On the Mac with the libraries you want to share:
    iTunes Preferences click on the Sharing tab and put a tick in 'Share by library on local network'.
    iPhoto Preferences click on Sharing and put a tick against 'Share my photos'.
    When launching the same apps on other Macs on the network the libraries should be available, listed on the left.

  • How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

    I want to set up family sharing but it won't let me because all the emails are already associated with the one iTunes account we have.  I am afraid to delete because my children use that email address for text messaging.  How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

  • How do I set up family sharing when one family member doesn't have an apple id but is currently using mine?

    I am trying to set up family sharing for my wife and me. I have a Macbook pro (running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1) and an iPhone 6. My wife has an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4s. All software is up to date. Currently we have one Apple ID which has both of our email addresses. Do I need to delete one of the email addresses and open up a new apple account with that email address? Will we lose anything if we do that?

    Hi jas717,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    Because there are only two of you, the solution that I may recommend for sharing content would be to use one Apple ID (the one you already have) for iTunes and App Store purchases between both of you. This will allow the both of you have access to the same purchased content. If you would like to have different Contacts, Calendars, etc., you can create a second Apple ID for use with iCloud. This will allow you both to have separate iCloud information but still have access to all purchased content from iTunes and the App Store.
    Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
    Use one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store purchases
    You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
    In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases. You might need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
    If I have misunderstood the situation or you are still curious about Family Sharing, please refer to the attached article for information on how to set up and use Family Sharing.

  • Apple ID for my 9 year old - How can I set up an ID for my 9 years old. We have bought him an ITouch for his birthday, he also has a $30 iTunes card. To load up the iTunes card he needs an ID. When I try to set him up it says he is below the min age.

    How can I set up anApple ID for my 9 years old. Every time I try it tells me he is bolew the min age. If this is the case how can he download free games and how can he redeem his birthday $30 iTunes card? I dont want him to use my ID as it has my credit card details.
    I'm very fustrated with this as it seems the Apple kit is for 13 years and older only.
    Cheers
    Brad

    That's great your 9-yr-old is responsible enough to handle an iTouch!
    There's no way around the age limit. I suggest a family account that you, an adult, control.

  • I just set up family share, but my kids show up as adults using their existing Apple ids. I want their statis to be child so I can set some parameters. Can this be changed?

    I Just set up family share using my children's existing Apple ids. But theit statis show up as adult, is there a way to change this?

    No, it's only with family sharing that child accounts can now be created (by the family organiser), you can't change existing accounts to be child accounts. You will either have to keep them with their existing adult accounts, or you can create new child accounts for them : Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support

  • How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 in AEB N?

    Help,
    I'm a novice at Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) - not an IT guy, so it has to be pretty basic and detailed.
    How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 on the Apple Airport Extreme BS router, 802.11 N. I have one at each end of the internet connection. At one end I have an Airport Extreme N router with 2 macs and eventually 1 windows XP machine (if I can) that I would like to be able to connect to over the interenet (the clients) and at the other end, I have a Mac with ARD 2.2 installed also with an Airport Extreme N router. Note: Both routers use Static IP addresses and all computers use static IP's internally not through DHCP. What are the settings or directions to do this.
    I have read and printed out the directions for Configuration of ARD 3.0 that are posted many times in the ARD discusion group, but it uses a Linksys router ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm posted by Dave Sawyer). The Mac router is different, particularly with the place to set a Private IP address. I'm not sure about alot of things, but especially about the Private IP address, what number do I set it to, the one that is in my Network connections list? It automatically changes to a different number in AE N setup for Port Forwarding (by one) as if it is not suppose to the same?????
    Are there any directions available that are as straight forward for the Airport Extreme N router, as the one's that are listed here for the Linksys Router's? ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm )
    Any and All help will be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. I know I should have 3.0 but bought 2.2 just weeks before 3.0 came out and they would not give me an upgrade price, so I'm waiting for 4.0 to upgrade.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Try the following for each AirPort Extreme ...
    AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup
    To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the host device.
    Internet > DHCP tab
    o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    o Reserve address by: MAC Address
    o Click Continue.
    o MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
    o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
    o Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    Advanced > Port Mapping tab
    o Click the "+" (Add) button
    o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    o Public UDP Port(s): 3283
    o Public TCP Port(s): 3283
    o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
    o Private UDP Port(s): 3283
    o Private TCP Port(s): 3283
    o Click "Continue"
    o Click the "+" (Add) button
    o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    o Public UDP Port(s):
    o Public TCP Port(s): 5900
    o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
    o Private UDP Port(s):
    o Private TCP Port(s): 5900
    o Click "Continue"
    o Click the "+" (Add) button
    o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    o Public UDP Port(s):

  • How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

    Dear All,
    Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
    i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

    Hi,
    The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
    Please see the API below:
    design
    Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
    alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
    standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
    transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
    Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
    Regards,
    Jaya.

  • How do I set the aspect ration for 4:3  or for 16:9?

    How do I set the aspect ration for 4:3  or for 16:9 in Adobe PE12?

    PulcinellaNM
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated from 12 to 12.1 Update via a project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so. That is all background information for now.
    As for the question that you are posting....
    I think we need to go a lot deeper into what you are doing. Here are some considerations
    The aspect ratio setting is in the import settings. In Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, the project automatically sets the project preset based on the properties of the first video file that you drag to the Expert workspace Timeline. If your video's properties include a 16:9 flag, then the project settings will have a 16:9 flag (aspect ratio). If you do not want the project to set the project settings automatically, you can set the project settings yourself manually with File Menu/New/Project and then import your source video.
    If a problem exists where imported 16:9 video is presenting in Premiere Elements as 4:3 instead of 16:9 (typical of the JVC .mod file issue), then you can set the pixel aspect ratio under Interpret Footage feature inside the project workspace.
    At this point, I think it best for you to give more details and background behind your question so that we can be sure that we are giving you the information that you need to succeed in your projects.
    If you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask for clarification.
    Thank you.
