How to sync more than one of our iPhones to my iTunes account?
Does anyone know how I can go about syncing my husband's, or my two teens' iPhones to my iTunes account on my iMac so we can share applications I've purchased? I think we're supposed to be able to do that aren't we? I thought up to five computers or five mobile devices on one network (our wireless network) could all sync to one iTunes account? But we aren't able to figure out how.
So far we've paid for Super Monkey Ball twice now because my teen convinced me that I just had to purchase it in my iTunes account, then he'd be able to hook up his iPhone to my computer and get it from me. But that didn't work. So I ended up with a ten dollar app I didn't want, and he had to go to his iTunes account on his computer and buy it again for himself. Now I have many apps I've purchased but would like to share with my family. If I'm wrong and we can't share, then so be it, but I just want to be sure. I've heard more than once recently that we're supposed to be able to share somehow, and not just apps, but most anything we have in iTunes, maybe with a few exceptions.
Thanks in advance!
Not sure why I haven't gotten any replies? Is the question just stupid, or is it that no one knows the answer? I truly have tried to find out the answer to this question, but everything I've found has been very confusing. Please someone help us figure this out!
Thank you, Deb

How to sync more than one iPhone on same computer?
I have multiple iphones under my family plan as well as iPad2. I use one iMac mainly for my business & to update my iphone 4s, and the older intel imac to update the other devices.
When we try to update/sync we get info from the last person who synced their iphone which is info that the other person may not want.
How does one set up two different 24" Imacs running Lion so that each person's iphone etc. is recognized and contains just their info when opening/syncing to iTunes.
I think I read somewhere that each person needs their own apple ID no./account?
If so, how does having each of us with their own account ID work if we all use the same computer?
Do we need to set up separate individual user accounts and when that person wants to sync to itunes they would log out of which account the computer is and log onto their own account before trying to sync to itunes?
Thanks
BobIt's easier if each person has their own AppleID, that way when the connect they can login to iTunes as their Apple ID and their apps, music, etc.. will sync. The only other way I know how of doing it is create user accounts for each of the people logging into the computer and then they will be forced to used their own AppleID's. To create accounts for each person go to System Preferences - Users & Groups and add users by clicking the + at the bottom of the column.
BTW PLEASE complete your profile. We have a tough time helping if we don't even know what version of OS X you're running and what iMac you have. You can easily do this by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right then click Profile and add the pertinent information. -

You can sync with one and only one computer/itunes library at a time. If you sync to another it will erase the current content. -
Can not sync more than one photo folder to my phone. lost all photos???
Can not sync more than one photo folder at a time from my computer to mu iPhone. How do I get the drop down box to choose my photos, so I can manually pick photo folders???? Lost all my photo folders on phone.
Create a parent folder on your computer to contain the folders of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. To add an additional folder of photos to your iPhone, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync.

How to show more than one record at a form-like style report?
Hi All,
I developed a form-like style report
I want it to show more than one record at once (At the same page)
I tried that by setting the value to "Maximum records per page" property for the repeating frame to 10
but when I close the property palete and open it agian the value is returned to 1 !!!
how to show more than one record at the same page?????
Thank uHi,
there's perhaps another property like "page protect". If than 2 records didn't fit at one page there's a page break. Or is there any object inside the repeating frame with page-break properties? Sorry .. it's like looking into a chrystal ball ...

This is not correct solution. I have fresh/new copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem.
Autorun only shows the Apple Bonjour service. It started when try to sync more than one iphone over WiFi. I have two iphones and an iPad. I turned off syncing over WiFi and still has high CPU utilization. One of the CPU's is pegged at 100%. It is the AppleMobileDeviceService.exe process.For the record, I then followed the suggestion of MarcDCMB in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4291206 of just manually restarting the Apple Mobile Device service in Windows services.msc once each time after starting iTunes and the service no longer hogs CPU after that service restart. Not too painful as a work-around, and apparently an effective one, but clearly not a solution to the problem. Again, as above, all the other solutions didn't work for me and I have no conflicting software as far as I can tell. So you'd have to say this Apple's problem.
Also FTR, I am still on the 5.2.0.6 version of the Apple Mobile Device Support MSI and I don't know if that is relevant to this work-around working but my sense is that it is NOT relevant. I'll report back on this thread if I re-upgrade and the problem returns in spite of the service-restart approach. -

how to display more than one documents on windows 8 desktop?
Adobe Reader Touch doesn't show more than one file on screen and doesn't show them on the desktop. Apparently these are very old fashioned things that Microsoft doesn't think we'll want to do any more and calls them "legacy" to make them sound antiquated.
If you want to do these things use the legacy Adobe Reader, a much more powerful and flexible app (and not obsolete in the slightest). http://get.adobe.com/reader . There are no legacy apps in the Windows App Store. -
How to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?
how to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?
Only for the very brave......
Open up the Time Capsule (voids the warranty)
Pull the hard drive
Place the hard drive in a separate enclosure
Connect the enclosure directly to your Mac
Use Disk Utility to partition the hard drive
Reinstall the hard drive back in the Time Capsule
For the rest of us.....
The next best thing might be to set up one or more disk images on the Time Capsule, which will allow you reserve a given amount of space for each disk image.
Open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on the New Image tab
Navigate to the Time Capsule
Set up the disk image by naming it and specifying how much space you want to reserve
