How to pair an apple TV with an Apple key board ?? Should be easy but ???

Hi out there...
Ive just bought an Apple TV and because I already have a Mac needed to buy a new key board to pair them up...but it's not happening !
So have a wasted $89.00 Aus for nothing because it should be fairly straight forward

If you have a recent model Apple wireless keyboard you should be able to pair it with the ATV very easily. Apple's Apple TV: Using the Apple Wireless Keyboard provides step by step instructions for doing this & a troubleshooting section if you encounter any problems.
In particular, note the "not paired or connected to another device" troubleshooting item. That was a "gotcha" for me because I had forgotten that I had paired my wireless keyboard with my iPhone to show someone how that works. Oops!
If you need to unpair your keyboard, you do that from the device it is currently paired with.

How can I use my Apple ID with 2 Apple devices?

I just got an ipad mini and I registered it with the same Apple ID I use for my iphone 4s. Everything was fine until I downloaded apps to the ipad and noticed that the ones I had on both devices no longer opened on my iphone. Why is this? How can I use my Apple ID with 2 Apple devices and how can I recover my apps on my iphone?

I've had an iPad for almost two years. When I purchased an iPhone last fall I set it up to use the same Apple ID as my iPhone. I've had no problems doing this. Try resetting each device and see what happens.
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?

How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

How do I associate a device with my Apple ID?

I have an iPad and an iPhone. I sync them with my iMac desktop computer, and never with any other. I always use the same Apple ID. As far as I know, it's the only one I have.
Recently, I purchased an app using my iPad. The next time I synced the iPad with the computer, I got an alert saying "The purchased item 'App' on the iPad
'Etchemendy's iPad' could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for it on this computer." The alert goes on, in fine print, to say, "To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
So I choose Store > Authorize This Computer, and I get a second alert saying, "This computer is already authorized." A nifty little continuous loop that neatly precludes me from using the app on any device except the one I used to purchase it.
But it gets better. In stumbling around trying to figure out what's going on here, I accessed "My Account" using iTunes on my desktop computer (logging in with the same Apple ID I used to purchse the troublesome app). When I click "Manage Devices," I arrive at a box that says, "These computers and devices are associated with your Apple ID for Automatic Downloads or to download previously purchased music, apps, and books..." It then gives me a "list" showing just one device -- my iPhone. The iPad is not shown here. Neither is the desktop computer iTunes just told me is already authorized. There's a button that says "Remove" next to the iPhone. And two bigger buttons. One says "Cancel" and the other says "Done." There is no "add a device" option.
So how to I associate a device with my Apple ID? And, as a matter of fact, why aren't all the devices I registered using my Apple ID already associated with it? I never had any of these problems till the big iOS system upgrade a few months ago. Since which, my interactions with Apple have nearly all been nightmarish. Apple obviously put the WAY wrong guy in charge of iOS development.
Oh. And BTW, when I look at the drop-down menu for choosing the "product" I'm having a problem with, only about half the devices registered with my Apple ID appear there. And I have no clue what kind of iPad I currently have. I have the warranty right in front of me, and all it says is "iPad WiFi 64GB Black." No doubt if I try to solve this using Apple phone support, I'll have to pay $20 to straighten out Apple's problem for them. Which is why I'm here.

My guess is you're using a long Apple ID and just omitted or mistyped a letter sometime, or something similar.
Anyway, the way to recover is this:
You cannot change ownership of the mistyped Apple ID to the correct one. After all, the mistyped one purchased it. However, you can authorize purchases from the mistyped Apple ID on your devices by doing Store > Authorize This Computer on iTunes on your computer, and enter the mistyped Apple ID and password. Then sync again and you'll be all set.
When you change computer (e.g., sell your current one and buy a replacement), you'll have to repeat this process.

I just recently purchased a mini iPad for my child. It was set up in the Apple store with my Apple id. I now want to create an Apple id for my child and switch it over, how can I go about that. I already downloaded some of the games from my account.

With a new account, you'll need to rebuy the games.
Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want. But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to

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

Then you should be fine, mirroring has nothing to do with an Apple ID. As long as the Apple TV and iPad (2nd gen or later) are on the same network you can use the feature

Even though I am logged into the apple website with my apple id, I am unable to log into the App Store. It's the same account.

Back up all data.

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and test.

Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
