How to I set up multiple devices with iMessage so I don't have multiple conversations?

My family has two iTouchs and 2 iPhones. I have all 4 set up on the same apple ID so when purchases are made from the app store or iTunes then is comes from one account.  The problem I am having is texting. When the iPhones text either of the iPods it comes from the email address linked to the apple ID.  Therefore the iTouch users can't tell which phone it came from (ie mom or dad).  Sometimes however it will show up on the iTouchs from the iPhone phone numbers. Sometimes when sending a message from iPhone to iPhone it will show up as sent from the email address associated with the apple ID.  My questions is is there a way around this or do I need to set up a different apple ID for each unit? 

Not in one boot system. The only way I can think of doing what you want is to dual-boot - ie, either partition a single drive with two volumes, one for each configuration, or, if you can, use separate physical drives. The Matrox drivers are loaded at the system level, not the user level.
If you have a spare drive, you would just clone your system across using Carbon Copy Cloner / SuperDuper, then boot to the second system and adjust the drivers as necessary.

    You can't use the same certificate more than once.

  • How do I do a complete reset with Lion when I don't have a disc?

    How do I do a complete reset with Lion when I don't have a disc (bought OS on App store).  When using OS X Snow Leopard I get the message "not allowed".  Is Lion available on Disc? Don't really want to buy it again...  The only way I can see doing this is booting from an OS disc.

    What exactly are you trying to do? Reinstall Lion clean, IE without first loading Snow Leopard?
    Or are you trying to go back to Snow Leopard as the operating system.
    If you want to reinstall Lion your best bet is to go through the downloading process and SAVE that file and then use LionDiskMaker ( a small program) to make a Lion install USB thumb drive. Then wipe the drive and do a complete clean reinstall.
    If you want to go back to Snow Leopard you will need to boot the system from the SL DVD and again Wipe the drive and then install SL.

  • How do i set up mutliple devices with one apple id

    My wife and I have 2 i phones and now a new i pad, we share an apple ID from one computer, songs apps, contacts but have seperate email ect. Now she has a i pad and wants to be able to text from it using her cell, as it stand now if she sends a text it shows up as coming from my cell? how do i fix that?

    You need to set up two user accounts on the mac.  System Preferences>Users & Groups.  Then each user can set up apple IDs for itunes and icloud any way they want.

  • Multiple devices with iMessage, FaceTime and calendar in the cloud

    Hi
    There are a number of posts on this, but this is what I do and the issues I face:
    My wife and I use a common apple ID for:
    Notes
    Reminders
    Calandars
    Photostream (when it works, but there are other postings on that)
    Apps
    i.e everything else, Music, apps, and addresses are on our Windows PC
    We have made a number of sub-IDs for our four devices (iphone 5s and 5 plus iPad 1 with IOS6?  and iPad 3) can get the correct emails and iMessages they should and FaceTime rings where it should.
    We have done this by selecting where to receive (at) our messages in settings, e.g. the iPhones use our phone numbers as references. The iPads use a gmail address that we have identified under our one Applie ID. Here can be crossover, but I get my messages and my wife gets hers
    With the addressbook in the cloud, we can arange here medical and other appointments very easily and synce the stuff everywhere. Notes and reminders. This leaves books music and other stuff safely on the PC, backed up, and only updated when we sync.
    This works well, and only when a cloud document is changed in error, do we pay for doing it this way. If my wife were more able, I suppose that she could easily edit the settig details to read my messages, but she has no wish to do this,
    This is all fine, buit since IOS 7, whenever a SIM is swapped, I travel a lot, iTunes and iMessages are st to receive everything on all devices. So, my wife gets my messages and I hers. I have to manually fix these, not an onerous task, now I have done it so many times, and have documemnted it; just ver frustrating.
    I am in the UK now, my wife is in hospital and does not have enough ability to fix the stuation over the phone.I will have to live with this and a temporary phone (that I got for messages and calls).
    What I would like to know is:
    1 - Is there a way to stop IOS 7 updating the Mesage / FaceTime read / contact a locaions everytime I change a SIM?
    2 - Short of creating a new Apple ID for iCloud, and not being able to share calendars, notes, reminders and photostream (when it works), is there a way around this?
    When I gave back home, I will fix the devices up again to make sure we get our separate messages and details. My next UK trip will involve taking the second phone with me.
    Any ideas welcome.

    Do I have a choice as to what actually gets transferred into the cloud or does it take what it wants?  What if I don't care to share particular data with another device, does the cloud take it anyway?

  • How do i set up a slideshow with pictures from multiple iphoto libraries?

    How do i set up a slideshow with pictures from multiple iphoto libraries? One library is in my Macbook Harddrive, the other 2 libraries are in an external harddrive. Thank you!!

    You can't, simply. An iPhoto Slideshow can only draw from a single library, so you'll need to get all the images into one.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie is on every Mac sold.
    Others, in order of price:
    PhotoToMovie  $49.95
    PulpMotion  $129
    FotoMagico $99
    Final Cut Pro X $299
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • Multiple devices with the same GUID

    Hi,
    According to the Zenworks Command line utilities reference https://www.novell.com/documentation...a/bb15p2z.html
    There exists an option to register a device with a new GUID by doing the following...
    register (reg) [-g] [-k <key>] [-u <username> -p <password] <ZENworks Server addressort>
    Registers the device in a Management Zone.
    You can use the following options:
    g - Lets you create a new device object with a new GUID and password for the device if you have multiple devices with the same GUID. When you register a device by using this switch, all the associations (policies and bundles) assigned to the original device object are removed. You cannot use this option to create a new GUID for a Primary Server or a Satellite device. The local user must have Local Administrator rights to use this option.
    I would like to know if it is possible to have such a command line option for the agent installation. So built into the agent installer, a command line option to force the agent to register with a new GUID.
    We are having CONTINUOUS problems with the above scenario. When we move devices from one computer lab to another and re-image the device, Zenworks keps trying to assign the same GUID to the device and this mixes up our Dynamic Workstation groups, which then affect the applicable policies to each device.
    I would like to know if there is an option to tell the installer to stop remembering the GUID and simply register the device with a new guid on agent installation.
    This way we can build that into the post imaging scripts which install the zenworks agent.

    Hi Craig,
    OK, I've had a look at the ZCM Reconcile rules and run a few tests to see if it is possible to get the machines not to reconcile (use a new GUID after imaging).
    As I have explained before, sometimes this result is desired in our case especially when we move machines around from lab to lab.
    So far, no matter what configuration I use, I cannot get Zenworks to generate a new GUID for a device that is getting re-imaged (without doing so only after the fact by unregistering the machine and reregistering the machine via the zac und and zac reg -g).
    We use dynamic workstation groups to assign policies and bundles to machines so reconciling the devices is not necessary most of the time. We need an option to tell the machine to register with a new GUID on installation of the agent. Surely such an option can be built into the agent installer?
    The options in the ZCM config management "reconcile settings" I tested with are:
    Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
    Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
    Machine Name - Unticked/Unselected
    Enable Differentiation - Unticked/Unselected
    I then also tested:
    Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
    Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
    Machine Name - Ticked/Selected
    Enable Differentation - Ticked/Selected
    and also:
    Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
    Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
    Machine Name - Ticked/Selected
    Enable Differentation - Unticked/Unselected
    With all three different configurations, I re-imaged the same machine, which renames the machine via the first post imaging installation script to match the DNS name. Thereafter the Zenworks agent gets installed, which then renames the machine back to what it was registered into the Zenworks database with on first installation.
    We need a method of telling Zenworks NOT to reconcile when we want it to. It should not reconcile every time and thereby rename the machine netBIOS name.
    Is there any way to achieve this?

    The same thing could apply if bringing in new Hardware.
    If a new computer were to replace an old computer but the name stayed the same, everything could be automatic depending on the rules setup.
    It is all a matter of how you tell ZCM to reconcile devices.
    The Help in the ZCC under these items should explain how it works so you can setup your rules to meet your use cases.

  • Assigning ports to multiple devices with HH5

    Im am trying to assign ports to each of my gaming devices (PS4, Xbox One and PC), these devices share some ports such as 3074, 80, 53, etc. I have set up the PS4, but when I tried to set up the Xbox One it wouldn't let me as the PS4 has duplicate ports.
    Is there any way to set up multiple devices with the same ports?

    You can only forward the same port(s) to one device.
    If you forget about using port forwarding, and simply allow uPnP to allocate the ports, then you should be able to use one device at a time.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    They can all share your iMessages, just make sure the settings on each device are set to send and receive from the same numbers and addresses.

  • How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
    Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
    Backup Phone A.
    Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
    When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
    After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

    Do you mean iTunes library?
    iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
    iTunes library is what is on your computer.
    It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
    No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
    Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

    You cannot use USB. It has to be a network capable printer.. is it?? You did not indicate how it is connected.. but by wireless or ethernet then scanning is possible otherwise not.
