How to make on account into multiple accounts?

This question is actually for my sister, but I am her Apple tech support, so here goes. She has a husband and two kids. Up until now they've all used one single Apple ID for everybody. This allowed her to control what the kids downloaded, and ensured that they didn't accidentally spend money on in-app purchases. But the downside is all her E-mail comes in under her son's name, and every time she plugs an iPhone or iPod Touch into her windoze computer, iTunes gives her some sort of error message. Meanwhile her son is unable to face-time. There are other problems too. So she would like to now give everybody their own Apple ID. I know that's easy enough to do, but what will it mean for apps etc. Right now when they (for example) download a paid app or game, they can all use it. What will happen when they each have their own account? And what will it mean for existing apps? Is there any way to move a game from the main account to her sons or daughters, or will we have to pay for them again if we want to move them? Is there an easy answer and I just don't know it? Or are we just going to have to bite the bullet and spend some money to re-buy apps she already owns? Help!?!

Existing applications can still be used, but will need to be updated from the original Apple ID. They can't be moved between Apple IDs without deleting and redownloading them, which will require each separate Apple ID involved to buy them.

My wife and I have made many purchases over several years on seperate accounts, how could we join them into one account, without losing everything?

My wife and I have made many purchases over several years on seperate accounts, how could we join them into one account, without losing everything? We both use Iphone 5's and share an Imac at home.

Purchases using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID. Purchases are forever tied to that Apple ID used. You have to decide which Apple you want to use for purchases and stick to that Apple ID so that you can share: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID : > use the same Apple ID here to share purchases.

C#: Sending email from a specific account when multiple accounts exist in Outlook?

Somehow I accidentally deleted this message trying to edit it... sorry.
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application outApp = null;
outApp = Marshal.GetActiveObject("Outlook.Application") as Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application;
MailItem mailItem = (MailItem)outApp.CreateItem(OlItemType.olMailItem);
mailItem.Subject = "Director Script Confirmation Request";
mailItem.To = person;
mailItem.Body = message;
//mailItem.Display(false);
mailItem.Send();
How do I send email from a specific account when multiple accounts exist in Outlook?
Below is the code that I have. I think I'm supposed to use the AddressEntry or AddressEntries to designate where emails are sent from. However, at the moment, I haven't found an example.
SV

Hello SV,
The MailItem class provides the
SendUsingAccount property which allows to set an Account object
that represents the account under which the MailItem is
to be sent. Here is what MSDN states:
The SendUsingAccount property can be used to specify the account
that should be used to send the MailItem when the Send method
is called.
Sub SendUsingAccount()
Dim oAccount As Outlook.account
For Each oAccount In Application.Session.Accounts
If oAccount.AccountType = olPop3 Then
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
Set oMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
oMail.Subject = "Sent using POP3 Account"
oMail.Recipients.Add ("[email protected]")
oMail.Recipients.ResolveAll
oMail.SendUsingAccount = oAccount
oMail.Send
End If
Next
End Sub

You can access, usually under the Apple (icon) menu in the main desktop
window, note item with name "About this Mac" & click on that, to see more
information about your computer, its OS X version, and other. The system
version and build model are there. Do not post a serial number.
If you are setting up Mail in a Mavericks OS X 10.9.x system, there often
is access to information in the Help viewer from the main menu bar, or
in an open mail application. If you have a Gmail or other account, that
info is often on their home page where setup and help are located.
The settings of each email account may vary according to their provider;
so you would have to change your computer to accept them. An older
link to a general look at that issue, change IMAP to POP, is covered here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16770816#16770816
While that may not answer your question, you could use the info in
your Mac OS X system Help viewer and use its search; or maybe
a Spotlight search to see an answer online.
You have to learn some basic things in order to actually use these...
and it helps to expand that so you won't have to pay for tech service
on things you can do yourself in a few minutes, beyond easy stuff.
Of course, you're hearing this from a guy with no ISP email, ever.
So mine are web-mail only; & I never save email to a computer.
PS: If you have a new Mac with an AppleCare plan, you may be able
contact Support for help. Ask someone (for 90 days, or up to 3 years
if the Plan was extended) there at AppleCare, for their guidance.

Changing account settings from G/L account into reconciliation account

Dear all,
Could you please help me solve the following problem:
We've got such settings in productive system so that open items were formed on GL account in spite of the fact that it was not a reconciliation account for creditors.
Is there any way to change the account status from G/L account into reconciliation account, clear existing open items and change account status back to G/L account?

Dear Stanislav Kim
For changing Recon Account :
1.The GL account should be intially blocked for posting.
2 . The program RFSEPA02 FOR SWITCHING ON AND RFSEPA03 FOR SWITCHING OFF open items . This program can be modified with the help of ABAP consultant.
This will convert Recon acct to normal GL account with open items.
I am sure this will resolve your problem.
Deven.

I wanna ask you something. My bro has an iPhone 5s that disabled for 23 million because of the time changed to 1976. So, how to make it back into 2015, make it enabled without erase the data

I wanna Ask you something. My brother has an iPhone 5s that disabled for about 23 millions minutes the time changed to 1976. So how to make it back into 2015 without waiting for 23 millions minutes later and enabled it without erasing any data? Please answer me ASAP because I really need it. Thank you for answer!

Hello theshadowhunters,
There is not much you can do to change the time back because he will not have access to change the time. The only option to get passed this is to restore the iPhone. Once the iPhone is restored and have a back up, you can put that back on once the restore is complete. For more information, take a look at the article below.

How do I get music from multiple accounts all into one?

I'm afraid of deleting music and not being able to get it again. My music that I listen to is very important to me. One account is already verified on 5 computers so I can't verify it anymore. I NEED to find out how to somehow get all my music that is on my current iphone into ONE account so that I can transfer it to a new iphone. Is there any way to do this without plugging it into a computer?
By the way I think my music is all from like 4 or 5 accounts. (All mine.)

Hello ithayne15
Currently, there is not a way to put multiple purchases from different Apple ID’s onto one Apple ID. If you need to authorize another computer and our out of Authorizations because you do not have access to older computers that no longer work, you can do a deauthorize all and then start authorizing the computers that you currently have.

you can't merge Apple ID's
From the FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622

Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

How do I combine two user accounts into one account?

When we originally set-up our iMac, I set-up two accounts for my wife and I. Since then it has been a royal pain with music and applications sharing. How do I merge the two accounts into one?

I found an answer to this by searching on "merging two accounts" rather than "combining two accounts." BTW, it's a little mini-nightmare if you only use "combine" on both Google and Apple support. At least this post might help others avoid the same fate.
Here's where to go to find the answer: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5629676#5629676

How do I merge two accounts into one account that contains all the files from both?

When I was running my MacBook Pro under Snow Leopard, I had one account for business that was encripted and another account that was unencripted for personal. Now, under Lion, the whole disc gets encripted so I don't really need two acounts. How do I merge the accounts together into one account and retain all the files from both?
Thanks,

How do I divide content bought under my account into new accounts?

My family has shared one iTunes account and now would like to separate the things we bought into individual accounts.

This is a shame and hopefullyApple will come out with a solution to it in the future. I am sure there are many like our household that have children too young to have an Apple ID set up in their name. We are currently all sharing one ID but the kids obviously have different musical tastes than we do. At some point when they are old enough it would be nice to transfer thir music to their accounts in a simple way.
Right now the only thing I could think of doing would be to burn the music on our family account to discs and turn around and add it to their individual accounts once set up. Perhaps Apple will come up with a different method in the next 5 or so years (I am sure there is an opportunity for them to make money via transfer fees - perhaps a fee for a single transfer and maybe a more econimical fee for a mass transfer)
