How do you setup ios5 for your kids?

On ios4 I used to use my apple id for my iphone and my two kids iphones. We each have seperate profiles on our mac so we could backup there. I loved that I could log into 'locate my iphone' and I could see where my kids are.
ios5 however poses a new challenge with the over the cloud thing.
I need help in figuring out the following please:
1. Do I get them their own applie ID's or can I use mine only and keep our data seperate?
2. If I have to get them seperate applie id's how do control the app purchases?
3. And how do you keep control of the location thing so you can check on them?

Reading about others experiences, if you don't get them separate apple ids for each of them, all your data will be merged. Contacts, photos, etc.
This is what I did for my husband and myself. We normally purchase all apps and music under my id. When I set up his phone I used an id that I had previously set up for him. I think I would advise that you do this on your computer before actually setting up the phones. A LOT of people are having issues with the IDs and I wonder if they were set up and verified BEFORE setting up the phones if that might not help some of the issues. Anyway, I set up his iCloud with HIS apple id. Then I checked the app store (you should check iTunes too) - it had signed him in there under his ID, but I signed out and signed BACK in under my ID. Then checked the iCloud settings. His ID was still there for his iCloud backups. If you don't want to worry about all that sign in, sign out business, just don't tell them the passwords to their apple id and leave it signed in the stores. Then you'll have to input the password before any purchases.
For the location thing, try Find My Friends. It's free and from Apple. Everyone needs the app on their phone. I set ours up today with no big deal. You need the email address that you use for each of their Apple IDs to be in your phone. Within the app you send a request to them that they have to accept, and vice versa if you want them to see where you are. It says in the description of the app that it has "simple Parental Controls". I'm sorry but I don't know what they are.
Good luck and I hope this was helpful!
Edited to add: When I say everyone needs the app on their phone, by that I mean - you and all your kids not the entire iPhone world. LOL
Edited again: Sorry, I am a curious person. So I looked into the Parental Controls. Here is where you find what to do: Open Find my Friends. Along the bottom of the screen you'll see "Me", tap that, then at the top of that screen you'll see an account button. Tap that. At the bottom you'll see Find My Friends Help, tap that. Then tap Change Find My Friends Settings, then tap Set Up Parental Restrictions.
This will give you all the instructions on what to do. You are basically setting a password that will not allow the child to make any changes. Such as follow anyone else or allow someone else to follow them. Also it will not allow them to hide from you.

How do you setup ipod for texting?

I just got a ipod touch and one of the features is the capability to text with it, but I am having problem using it to text as text features require a valid phone number. Can someone explain to me how to use ipod touch to text? All helps will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,

Do you have the Messages app? Texting on the iPod is done through Apple's iMessage service. You'll need an Apple ID, and you'll need to enter it under Settings > Messages > Receive At... > Apple ID. If you don't have Messages, then you don't have iOS 5, which means your iPod needs updating. Plug it in to iTunes and it should notify you that there's an update.

This is the Apple Support page for Boot Camp:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
No mention anywhere of Lion, of 4.0/4.01
In the past, 10.6.6+ was suppose to - and sometimes did - provide for a download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant program, in order to save them to flash or such (that should be about 1GB, too large for CD). Some macs req'd a USB-DVD or other driver that was needed pre-install of Winidows
You don't install Apple drivers until after Windows is installed otherwise,
It is possible for me, with a tower, to run w/o needing any drivers from Apple. But with laptops, mini, you do need some drivers from Apple for graphics, internet, wireless, SMC support.
And right now, loading any Apple support Tech Note articles is very very slow.
People keep asking why Apple can't post 3.0 or 4.0 like they do the updates. Only logic is to force t he download from inside OS X or from an OS X DVD. Otherwise would be here, and avoid all the trouble. they aren't of use on a PC, and any PC motherboard vendor does post their support software for download.

How do you delete contacts from your phone for good without having it appear in the messages app?

Hi tieyce,
You need to hook up your iPhone, select it under Devices, and then go to the Photos tab on the Device Profile, and uncheck Sync Photos, then sync. That should delete all photos that were downloaded from your computer.
When you say you have 2 separate albums of the same sets of pictures, what 2 albums are you referring to? Can you provide us with names of those "duplicate" albums?

We have two Apple ID's but share the same computer....that runs Itunes...How do i setup Icloud for ea. user ID?

You can't merge Apple IDs. What you could do is set up your phone to use the same iCloud accout you are using on your Mac. To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (Contacts, Calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone. When everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Now add the iCloud account you set up on your Mac (with the same Apple ID) and turn syncing back on for Calendars, Contacts, etc. When prompted, you will probably want to choose merge, to merge the data on your phone with the existing data on this iCloud account.

There is a Ubuntu 10.4 version for Mac with PPC architecture; not sure
how that would work in the computer you may consider running it in.
Some leads on that kind of discussion can be found by using a Google
search, and the words: *ubuntu for PPC G4 Mac* + read through results.
Or choose to search using these terms: *Open Source Linux PPC G4 Mac*
A few results point back to Apple Discussions, where there were inquiries.
Note the version of a Linux-type of OS, compatible with Mac PPC hardware,
on the following page-link: *• Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS (Lucid Lynx)*
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.04/release/
{You would have to put the image, as downloaded from such a site, on a CD
for use as an Installer; then follow any instructions as available to install it.}
An old page (from 2007?) with some details, some not up-to-date,
may be of help to a limited degree, from here: Ubuntu PPC wiki
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#Is%20Ubuntu%20supported%20on%20PowerPC?
Or: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
See their home page to look for other information on the site: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/
These wiki groups are like communities, with rules & other such considerations; you
may be able to also find +Open Source+ sites with information and builds of suitable
Linux versions capable of running well in an older PPC Mac. There are newer ones
that would have no problem on a newer Intel-based Mac, of course.
• Mac Linux Links: (perhaps too dated)
http://lowendmac.com/linux/index.shtml
• Comparison of Linux distributions:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_Linuxdistributions
Hardware support in the older PPC G4 Mac computer should be considered, in order
to have the better experience possible with the Linux-based OS; and some specs in
an old Mac may not be ideal. The graphics processor unit and amount of dedicated
RAM for the graphics alone, could make a difference; depending on what you had in
mind when running a Linux-based OS in a PPC Mac. So consider hardware specs.
Some hardware in the computer may or may not be supported by the Software; and
then, there may be some problems implementing a Linux OS version in your Mac.
If you had an old Mac Mini (PPC or early Intel) & considered running Linux, there's
a page of general ideas worth a peek: http://sowerbutts.com/linux-mac-mini/
You may not have enough room on the existing internal hard disk drive inside the
iMac G4, for a complete OS X 10.3.9 or Later OS X, and a partition for Linux in it.
And, you may find through reading further, if you need to (or don't) start fresh and
have a partition for each different OS, or not. For organizational purposes and ease
of removing one system or the other, a partitioned hard disk drive may be best.
There probably is a way to have Linux on an external bootable hard disk drive; &
that would have to be compatible with the Mac hardware requirements to be seen
and used by the computer, and also the ability to restart from Linux into Mac OS X
would have to exist in the system software. Hopefully without incident.
You will have some degree of a learning curve in this matter, from reading up on
the details of any viable Linux versions, through the ones likely to work in your
old PPC G4 Mac, and then if there are more than two or three good ones, of those
what one would be most likely to be worth the additional effort to attempt to use in it.
Depending on the version and specifications of your iMac G4 computer, there could
be different versions of linux systems capable of running it. However, some items
may not be supported which you would need to have working, such as wi-fi internet
and sleep mode, etc; among others. Searching the net does bring up more info.
{You may find, that going to OS X 10.4.11 would be more worth the effort, in that
most everything would 'just work' and you can still find many good software bits
and some fine freeware or low cost shareware to run on it. Linux versions vary
so much on what they can and cannot do, I would not recommend running it.}
Since I am not an expert in the matter, hopefully someone with a experimental time
and results in a similar vintage Mac as yours will reply and give you insightful info.
Good luck & happy computing!

How do you setup LibreOffice?

I downloaded LibreOffice from the net. The script that came with it copied it to Applications. How do you setup LibreOffice so it is invoked when you open a document, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing or database?

For the documents (.e.g, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, AppleWorks, others) that you want to be opened by LibreOffice when you double-click them, select each icon type, and either press cmd+I (eye) for Get Info, or control+click on the icon to show the contextual menu, and then select Get Info.
In the Get Info panel (that may popup underneath Safari), there is an Open with section, and a default application is shown. Change this to LibreOffice, and then click the Change All… button. You will get a Are you Sure dialog, and then press Continue. If you did this for a .docx icon, then a future Word .docx files will be opened by LibreOffice. You would have to repeat this process for any .doc icon as well.
You can also drag and drop files on the LibreOffice icon in your Dock, if you dragged and dropped it from its /Applications location onto the Dock. When you first launch LibreOffice, you will get a dialog that has an open on it. Just press open, and you will not be challenged with this dialog again. If you were to click the Open Files part of the LibreOffice opening panel, then click again on the File types in the document chooser, you would see the extensive list of documents it can open.
If you have a single Page PDF, you can drop it on the LibreOffice icon, and you now have an editable PDF document. Don't overlook the PDF manuals located on the LibreOffice site They were written in LibreOffice Writer.

How do you get songs on your ipod if downloaded on a different computer?

Hello:
I purchased songs from itunes using my PC at my office. The songs downloaded and I was able to listen to them from that computer. When I tried to sync them to my ipod, there was a message that using that computer would erase my library. So, I went home and thought I could sync the purchased songs to my ipod from my home computer, but the songs didn't show up in my library. Do I have to somehow transfer the songs downloaded at my office to my home computer where I originally set up my library? If so, how do I do that? Thank you in advance for your help.

The iTunes/iPod software isn't set up to let you sync songs from more than one libray, but if you manually manage the iPod you can add tracks from multiple computers without removing the existing content. Personnaly I think syncing with a library is a much better way to manage your iPod, so I'd suggest you just copy the stuff you bought at work onto a memory stick, then take it home and import it into your iTunes library there.
