How to disable Apple ID/iCloud account access to file sharing on two Macs set up using one Apple ID account?

I've two Macs set up with my Apple ID. Now one of them is using other Apple ID but I can still access all it's files via file share using my old Apple ID the computer has be set up with. Is there a way to disable that "feature"? Thing to mention is that the other Apple ID is used in Store and in the accounts.

OK found the answer in anothe discussion thread. On iPad, delete existing account by going to settings-iCloud-and tap red delete account bar. Sign in with the Apple id you want to use. This worked for me this time. Even though when I first tried to set up the iCloud account, I got error messages and thus was forced into creating the new id.
Anyhow, success.

How to disable print and download button of pdf file when i am opening mozila firefox using java script

i am opening pdf file in firefox browser in right side i am seeing print and download option
i want to disable it by program like javascript, by manualy i can disable it ,
actually i am opening pdf file in my website by using firefox browser so i do not want to any can download or print the pdf file

If it's that critical, you could explore this partial workaround:
Use a script or configuration file on your server that changes the disposition based on the user agent. In other words, for Firefox, send an attachment disposition that forces a download outside the browser instead of the default (inline) disposition that allows Firefox to display the PDF in a tab.
Now... that won't stop the user from dragging and dropping the downloaded file on a Firefox tab to use the built-in PDF viewer, but most users would tend to open the file in their default viewer (e.g., stand-alone Adobe Reader).

Get a separate Apple ID for one of the phones. Or turn OFF iCloud contacts synching on the one you do not want contacts to synch.

HT1848 MY wife has an Iphone 4 and I have a 5. To date we haev used one apple is/account to manage music purchases. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account?

MY wife has an Iphone 4 and I have a 5. To date we have used one apple account to manage music purchases/library. I updated ny phone to the new OS version and all her texting is showing up on my phone. I understand if i create an apple account for her I will not see her texts. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account and get access to the music library under my account on the new MAC laptop before I update her phone to the new OS?
Going forward if I purchase music under my apple id and want her to have it on her device, how can I acheive that?

You can continue to share an Apple ID for purchases.
Sign her in to her new account here:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (Keep on Phone if you want to transfer contacts, calendars, etc...) then sign in with her new ID
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Use the same Apple ID here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID

Thanks pvonk, I will try downloanding the book from the Iphone right now.......
Just tried to download and it wants me to buy it again? Is there some way around this? I guess I thought that was the whole point of the cloud, buy it once and access from any of your devices right?
Also, I have logged into the icloud.com as suggested and will plink around there for a bit and try to understand. It is just all so dang different that what I am used to; Apple's way, that is.
Thanks again for the Icloud tip and if you know of a way to download without making a 2nd purchase I would sure love to hear it!
Geez. one other thing (I guess I am complaining) but I bought more space in the cloud, they took my cash fast enough but have not yet increase the size of my storage space yet? Is Apple sometimes slow to get internal stuff done?

How to disable/deactivate/delete iCloud email address

Like most people, I have a number of different e-mail accounts for a variety of different reasons (Yahoo, GMail, iCloud/@me). I'm trying to get it down to just one, where all my personal, work, etc. e-mails can go. Ideally, I would have like to have just my iCloud e-mail (mine is an [email protected] instead of an [email protected]) but since I have found it to be impossible to have an Apple ID that is not associated with an outside e-mail address (currently a GMail account), it seems like I won't get my preference, unless anyone here knows something I don't.
Here's my dilemma. How do I deactivate my iCloud email address? I realize that I could simply stop using it, but I have contacts that I'm not necessarily in consistent contact with, so if they e-mail me, and it doesn't bounce back because the account has been deleted, they'll never know, and I'll never check. Is there anyway to delete/disable/deactivate your iCloud e-mail address so that the account cannot receive e-mails? Like when you delete a GMail account and try to send an e-mail to that address afterwords, you get the mailer-daemon response.

Your GMail ID is simply the login; you can just use your iClour email address. If Apple are using the GMail address as a contact you can enable forwarding from GMail to your iCloud address. You do have an @icloud.com address as well as an @me.com address. However you cannot make either of these your ID/login.
You cannot delete an iCloud account nor the primary address. If you want to abandon it you could set up forwarding from iCloud to whatever address you want to use. Go to http://www.icloud.com , go to the Mail page and click the cogwheel icon at bottom left. In the first pane which opens there is a section to forward mail.

Go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account, and enter your Apple ID password. Then sign in with the new ID.
NOTE: "Delete Account" just means it will be deleted from the iPad. The account itself will not be deleted.

Go to Settings -> icloud and then you should see your icloud id, scroll to the bottom and select delete account, you are then able to add your new one.
Hope it helps

We've had our MBP for a year, set up with my Apple ID. Got an iPad recently and set up with another Apple ID. Would now like to sync the two and set up iCloud/PhotoStream. How to do since have two different Apple IDs?

We've had our MBP for a year, set up with my Apple ID. Got an iPad recently and set up with husband's Apple ID. Would now like to sync the two and set up iCloud/PhotoStream between the two. How to do since have two different Apple IDs? Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, why did you elect to use a different id?. That seems to always make things difficult. If you have not had the pad for long, or have not bought a lot of stuff Nader the new id, you might want to think about erasing all content, turn off find my phone, wiping the pad and starting over.
You can sync 2 different ids ( at least move pictures, books and music back and forth) if you are syncing through I tunes on your computer, but I don't think you can cross feed I cloud streams.

Also this works when one of us downloads an app it appears on the other iphone

You need to use separate iCloud accounts. This will mean that you can both have your own separate contracts and calendars and put an end to them being deleted by each other.
Whether or not you have a separate iTunes account, is up to you. If you have a separate iTunes accounts you will not be able to access the music, books, apps that have been purchased by the other. This may be exactly what you want, but it also means that you both may end up purchasing the same item.

You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

ITunes is making me authorize my computer to access music purchased with an old email address (never used as Apple ID).

iTunes is making me authorize my computer to access music purchased with an old email address (never used as Apple ID). How do I delete this old email address from my account if it doesn't even show up in my profile?

Same thing here. I am getting the authorization message with iPad, 2 iPods and 3 iPhones. I'm furious about this. I reviewed my itunes account info and everything looks accurate. I downloaded a movie this morning and I can't sync it to iPad. Let's see what explanation is offered.
