HT1420 I have 2 iPads, 1 iPhone, 1 iPod, 2 PCs, and 1 Macbook pro.
What's with the 5 limit to register in the same account? Why not 10?
I bought a new iPad and gave iPad 1 to wife. Bought her iPod, I have iPhone, 2 PCs (Dell and HP) and a MacBook pro.
So Apple figures that's too many.
I figure it's too many Apple products since they don't want me to own more than 5 things. Sorta stupid, but, well, okay.
The 5 limit apllies ONLY to computers. NOT ipods/iphones/ipads/Apple tvs. They are NOT authorized at all. ONLY computers.
Maybe you should understand this before you rail against it.

I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error. "Failed to Continue Activity" Cocoa Error 4609. Handoff is working for phone calls and text messages. By email just crashes each time. It was also doing it under 8.0.2. My iPhone and iPad handle this fine. It's only the MacBook to the iPhone that fails, and only on email.

Sync iPhone 5 contacts to iCloud and/or MacBook Pro
I've been trying to sync my iPhone 5 contacts with iCloud, but nothing works. I have manually backed up my phone both to iCloud and to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.2) but my contacts still haven't appeared in the cloud. Help is appreciated!
It's probably because your contacts do not belong to the iCloud account.
Open the contacts app on your phone and tap Groups. Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?
Also go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section). Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account? -
I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account? I have been able to log into what appears to be three of the four iCloud accounts I have. Two of them seem to be remarkably similar, and one appears to be only for my MacBook.I think I know which one my iPhone is backing up to, as I successfully restored from a back-up last week. The fourth iCloud account I can't access via password or security questions. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Cheers,

How do I enter an iTunes U course code in iTunes on a PC? My teacher gave me a course code to enroll in their course (unpublished), but I don't have an iPad or iPhone. Can I use iTunes on my PC? I don't see a place to enter my enrollment code. I also tried using the link sent to enroll but it doesn't work either. Am I out of luck?
As I noted in the other thread:
There are two kinds of content available, "courses" and "collections". If you look at the iTunes U section on the iTunes Store, you'll note some are square (collection) and some have a faux wire binder and tabs (course); you can subscribe and watch collections from within iTunes, but courses only work on iOS.
The content you see in iTunes on your PC are "collections", while your teacher has created a "course". Collections are more like podcasts, with only audio or video episodes available. Courses have more structure and richer content, including assignments and iOS-specific materials like App Store links and Pages documents.
While the distinction is not particularly relevant for iOS users – one can subscribe to either type – it is admittedly confusing for desktop users since the distinction and terminology are not explicitly defined.
Does that clarify matters somewhat? -
Is MS exchange the only way to keep mail synced across all devices? Can Mac mail do this without exchange? I have iPhone,iPad and new MacBook Pro, and looking for advice please.
As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
Both of these can be used with Mail on any device. -
we have an ipad two iphones and an ipod nano can we sink all of them to one itunes the items have different itune accounts
Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials. -
I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro. My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook. They are all associated with the same Apple ID. When I try to sync, I get a warning message stating that I will lose songs on my phone which aren't on the laptop. How transfer my music from my phone to the laptop?
Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

Ok, new to this, sorry for long title, thought I was in text/message part. I have two iPhones, and iPad, and a MacBook Pro. Invoking messaging and receiving on two iPhones and an iPad was cute in the beginning but now it's beyond useful. i've solved the problem on iPhones just by turning off messaging, but find nothing in settings to turn off messaging on the MacBook Pro. I'm assuming that turning off messaging on my phones reverts to SMS tho' not sure what Apple uses if not SMS.
I do not want iPhone messages being received on my MacBook Pro. How do I de-authorize, can't seem to find anything in settings and don't want to delete MESSAGE.APP as who knows if I want it in future.
Thanks in advance. All deviced up to date with software, and am using Mt. Lion on MacBook.HI,
The iOS Messages app send either iMessages or SMS depending on the receiver.
If it is Off then you can't send SMS either.
Turn Messages back On in the iPhone.
Go to Setting > Messages > Send and Receive and delete the Apple ID (And any other email) you listed for iMessages
You will get a warning alert that the ID will be deleted across all devices (and it included Messages on the Mac)
The Messages app on the Mac can have iMessages turned Off.
Two ways to do this.
Simplest is to go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and Untick the Enable this Account Box.
The second is to use the Sign Out Button (in OS X 10.8.2 which has updated Messages to version 7.0.1)
The Second logs you out and removes the Apple ID from the iMessages Account settings.

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.

I have been asked to set up an Icloud account by Apple.
How will having another icloud email benefit me. I have my work email which is all i require, but had to set up a @me account to get email on my Macbook.
I have a Mac computer that i upgraded to Mountain lion, a macbook pro and an iPhone 4s which has the latest software. all i want is simplicity and to have one email account which which will not duplicate everything 4 or 5 times.
My notes are duplicated, i have to delete my emails individually on all devices so whenever i put my phone on, all the emails i have deleted at work re-appear on my phone and again the same thing happens on my Macbook pro. I seem to spend all my time deleting emails 3 times.
Is there something simple in the set up of these that i am missing?

I have a music library on an iMac and I got a new iPhone and a new MacBook Pro and I want some of the songs from the iMac library to be on my phone and my MacBook Pro and I have a new Apple ID on my phone and my Mac book pro, is this possible if so how do I do it?
Providing specifics on all the ways to do this will take more time than I am willing to spend here these days. You can do some of this with Home Sharing. You can transfer the entire library from one computer to another, If you do that you can delete what you don't want from the transferred library.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder. If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
You do not want to use a new AppleID. Change the AppleID on the new phone to the old ID. Purchases made with one AppleID cannot be transferred to a different one and it will be a royal pain to manage two Apple IDs.
Change iTunes Store account on an iOS device - Log out of your current account with Settings.app > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) > tap on your AppleID. Log in with a different account. Note, turning on automatic downloads or re-download past purchases may tie the device to that account for 90 days - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 https://discussions.apple.com/message/18484935 - "In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account") When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again." -
