HT1296 My husband and I each just got iPhones.  We also just got an iPad.  We've each created our individual Apple id's.  We don't want to share contact between our iPhones, but would like to combine contacts on the iPad.  I'm looking for suggestions.

My husband and I each just got iPhone 4S.  We also purchased the New iPad. 
We've set up individual iCloud and iTunes accounts. 
We each have contacts that we don't want to share between our iPhones, but would like to share on the iPad.
I'm seeking help as to how to sync these accounts properly to obtain this goal.

If you intend to "share" the iPad, that's not gonna work if you both have separate Apple ID's & iTunes accounts. Like iPhone, iPad is not presently designed to be shared like a computer. Confirm if this is your intent.

  • I have a debit card but would like to download apps from the store. how do I do that? I can't possibly get a credit card just for this. please help.

    Hi,
    I have an iTouch. I'd like to download some free apps. but I have a debit card but would like to download apps from the store. how do I do that? I can't possibly get a credit card just for this. please help.

    I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
    Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

  • I have an I phone 4 that I use in Singapore, but would like to use it in the US while on holiday. How do I cahnge out the sim card, and is there anything else that I need to do.

    Ignore the other post (the one from Brendan), he has no idea what he is talking about.
    Read your manual (you have a bookmark to it in Safari on your iPhone or put iBooks on your iPhone and download the manual from the iBookStore) and it will show you how to remove the microSIM from your iPhone. AT&T is not tourist friendly and does not offer a pay as you go plan for visitors with an iPhone. If you are going to be here for a short time you can probably buy a pay as you go microSIM and use it before AT&T notices, if it is going to be for a long time that won't work.
    There is a 3rd party company that will sell you a microSIM that will work with AT&T but they are pretty pricey.
    Finally, you can get a pay as you go microSIM from T-Mobile to work with your iPhone but you will only have EDGE data speeds.

  • I would like to create a Christmas album but would like to separate albums under the main album.  is there a way to do this?

    I would like to create a Christmas album with all of my Christmas music in there but would like to separate my different albums within the main one.  Is there a way to do this?

    Jammond,
    For that purpose, the thing that would work best is to create a Christmas playlist, which you can start by using File > New > Playlist.  Add the songs you want, and the albums within it will sort naturally.

  • I need to make my own apple id because I'm older and don't want to share everything with my family but if I do, how do I get all the music and everything I bought?

    I don't want to share my apple id with my family anymore but I own over 2000 songs and a few other things I bought so would I be able to get them if I got a new apple id?

    You don't. Everythng downloaded with one Apple ID can not be transfered to another Apple ID. So you would need to buy it a second time. This is one of the Pit Falls of the whole Download only model.
    That is why I refuse to buy things like music or movies that are tied to a specific User Name, ID.

  • Images on iPad started to mix album's pages order since last sync,the names order are correct I've tried to erase and put back album's but got worse because it failed to write some. I would like to avoid to ripristinate the iPad.

    ciao, I've got some problema with my Image reader app. Since last sync it started to mix pages order, pages that are correctly nominated and were dispalyed in the correct order since the last sync.  unfortunatelly I haven't a backup and I would like to avoid to ripristinate it as I would loose my App documents. I have already tried several time to erase all my albums and putting back, but it got worse and it fails to copy some albums. What can i do?

    Since your intention was to sell legit software, I'm sorry that you were as much a victim as your buyers were.  I don't know what else you could do except report it as others have suggested and pay your customers back.  Companies like Adobe don't have the resources to follow up on every individual case of piracy, but they should be interested in tracking down the sources of the big professional counterfeiting rings.  Judging from your description of the packages you sold and the cost of producing such packages, I assume they come from such a source.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    I'm from Seattle, so I didn't really think twice when the seller told me their source was a person who worked at Microsoft and had access to the "Microsoft store" (which is somewhat infamous here because of how cheap you can get software for if you have access). 
    I don't get the connection - you were selling Adobe software, not Microsoft software.

  • I want to remove some photos from my iPad--but I don't want to remove them from my Mac. How do I remove photos using the iPad itself?

    I want to remove a few photos from my iPad, but not from my Mac (from-to which I sync). Is this possible? I can get the "delete" button to show on the iPad, but it is not fully lit--i.e. pressing it does no good.

    You can delete photos that you took on the pad, and photos that you imported from the camera connection kit right on the pad.  That delete button will work on those.
    Photos that you synced from the mac get deleted by resyncing.  When you connect the pad, push the photos tab, uncheck sync all, and then select only the photos you want on the pad.   The mac acts like the master storage unit, and all the photos will stay there (unless you delete them in i photo) and copies are placed onto the pad.
    Photos you take on the pad, by the way, dont get moved to the mac during a sync, you need to import them to iphoto.  While the pad is connected, open up i photo, and the pad will show up as a device on the left side.  You can select which pad photos you want to import.  Those photos are now part of the master copy on the mac, and can be synced back to the pad, or not, as you decide.

  • Is there any way to share music between two iPhones ?

    I want to share music between two iPhones with different apple IDs , isn't there any method to do that without itunes ?

    In general, the catalog that is open when you do Export As Catalog is where the settings are, and the catalog that is open when you do Import From Catalog is where the settings aren't, yet, but will be after the Import.  Your assumptions appear to be correct for your particular example.

  • My husband and I share one computer.  We want to be able to share the same music on our iPhones, but we don't want to share the same contacts and applications.  How can I set this up so we still share music, but everything else is separate on our iPhones?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. You can both use the same ID for the store login and share your music etc., and use different ID's to log in to iCloud, thereby keeping your calendars etc separate.

  • My wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Just got my Mac air and i would like to make a file to store some web addresses for my new business with rodan and fields and I can't do it. Made the file but i cant copy and paste the web addresses in the file to save them. Please help and thank you.

    Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
    You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine.  You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
    That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
    You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
    You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby)

  • I purchased a time capsule last year and we have been using for our backup of our apple devices (iMac, laptop, iPad and now 5 iPhones).  we have not used it as our router for wifi but would like to now switch to it. need directions for switching please.

    i am using time capsule for backup only but would like to switch to it for our wifi.  directions on apple discuss original set up of time capsule for wi fi but not switching from existing wi fi router.  were can i get help with this?

    Well, it depends on what ISP you use.
    Reply back with your ISP and connection type (cable, ADSL). Also, do you use an ISP router or do you have a modem connected to a router that you provide?
