Hi.  My kids are all on my itunes account.  As a result they also ge my text messages.  I would like to set up their own accounts but be able to transfer the songs and apps they purchased.  Can this be done?

You can still share an iTunes account for purchasing and downloading content. Just create a new Apple ID for iCloud to use for Messaging. If you try to create a new Apple ID for music and content, everything on their phone is tied to the Apple ID used for purchases, and would then require the password for that Apple ID to update. The way I described is easier.

  • HT204053 How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone.  Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

  • When trying to open iphoto I get the error message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." How do I fix this and get my photo's back?

    When trying to open iphoto I get the error message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." How do I fix this and get my photo's back?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • I purchased an iPhone 3 and had photos on it. Started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. Moved photos to back up on iCloud. did not restore new phone from back up how can i save the new photos and retrieve the old ones?

    I purchased an iPhone 3 and had taken some photos on it. I started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. So I created an iCloud account and  saved those photos as a back up on iCloud. I did not restore my new phone from back up because I did not realize I needed to restore and not just activitate it. How can I save the new photos, apps, and other stuff but retrieve the old photos?

    If all you want is your old photos, you could backup your new phone using iTunes, then restore it from your iCloud backup, import the old photos to your computer, then restore it from the backup your made in iTunes returning your newer data to your phone.  If you want your old photos on your phone, sync them there from your computer using iTunes.  The process would look like this:
    Connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases; right-click again and select Backup.
    Disconnect from your computer and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to return it to new
    Go through the activation setup, choosing to Restore from iCloud backup.  Make sure your phone is plugged into a charger and has access to wi-fi as this can take hours to complete.
    When complete, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
    Now import the old photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
    When done, open iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose the backup you made in step 1.
    Go to the Photos tab and select the photos you want to sync to your phone and sync.

  • Everytime I log in to Firefox I get the following message, how can it be corrected?

    Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [ISkypeFfExtension.Initialize]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://skype_ff_extension/content/browserOverlay.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 9" data: no

    You can use Skype without the extension, that is what I might do. I would avoid having Skype up all the time as it will affect your machine usage to enable you and others to use Skype.

  • How can I click on 'new tab' and have all my frequent sites come up the way they used to?

    In the old firefox, I would click on a new tab, and when the window came up it showed nine little pictures of my most used websites. Excellent feature that I loved!!! Installed the new version of Firefox on Friday, and now when I open a new tab I just get a blank page. This is REALLY going to slow down my work. If the new Firefox won't show me my windows, I'd like to go back to the old version.

    What email program or email site do you want Firefox to fire up to send the message?
    In the Preference dialog, you might be able to select the program from a list. In some cases, you need to take extra steps to add it to the list.
    Firefox > Preferences > Applications
    In the search box above the list, type '''mailto''' and then pause to let the list filter down. Does the drop-down control on the right side let you choose your preferred email program?

  • How can I create a new name and itunes acct

    I want to give my old 2nd generation ipod nano to my son.  Can I create a new device name and itunes for the ipod?

    Yes.  I would suggest creating a separate user account for him on your PC to use to store his own separate iTunes library.  See Method 1 from this Apple support document for more information and assistance.
    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
    When he connects the iPod to this new iTunes library he'll need to Erase and Sync (or restore) the iPod allowing him to set it up as his own iPod and everything just as if you had just taken it out of the box.

  • ******How Can I create 600 new accounts in Portal******

    Hi,
    I want to create about 600 new users to my portal site. How can I do it? I have read SSO, LDAP...etc. But I am still confused.
    Is anyone can help me??
    Thanks

    While I am very new to Portal and LDAP, there is a batch import utility for LDAP named LDIF. If you already have the users in some other electronic form, db or spreadsheet. Reformating that to the LDIF format should be to hard and certainly would be easier than hand entering all those users.
