HT202213 Sharing between my mobile devices

Can I share e-books between my mobile devices without a home computer?

Hello Firemanhammer,
It sounds like you are trying to sync your iBooks between your iOS devices, and you can achieve this by signing in with your Apple ID:
If you buy a book on your Mac, it’s automatically available on all of your iOS devices with iOS 6 or later. The same is true if you purchase a book from your iOS device. iOS 7 even prompts you if you already have purchased content. You can even synchronize your bookmarks, notes, and collections across your devices.
iBooks will prompt you to sign in, but you can also sign in at Settings>iTunes & App Store. A Mac computer is able to sync the iBooks as well, but it's not necessary to sync the iBooks between your iOS devices.
If you don't see all of your purchased items in iBooks, make sure you "Show All Purchases" is turned on:
To see all your purchased books on your iOS device, choose Settings > Books > Show All Purchases.
If you start reading a book on one device, you can pick up right where you left off on another device. Collections, highlights, notes and bookmarks sync across all your devices. Use these settings to synchronize these features:
On your iOS device, open Settings > iBooks. Then, select the options to "Sync Bookmarks" and "Sync Collections".
You can find the full article below. It includes the steps for a Mac computer, but you can just focus on the iOS instructions:

How many photos can be shared with my mobile device?

Am I limited to just 2GB of shared data to send to my mobile device

Purchase shared between 2 ATV devices

Hi there
I have two ATV devices (1x gen.1 & 1xgen3), both connected to itunes via the same account. My problem is the following:
I purchased a tv show on my mac and downloaded some (but not all) of the episodes. The tv show appears on the ATV3 device and therefore I can watch it on the tv via it. The show can also be shared on the tv via my mac (either via airtunes or home sharing).
However when I use my older ATV on the tv, the show is not there (does NOT appear on the "purchased" list, neither it appears when I check at downloads. Can someone tell me what will happen if I try to purchase the show again? will I be charged or will itunes see that I have already purchased the show and ask me if I want to download it for free?
ok, I know that I can always download the episodes on my laptop and home share them on the ATV1, but can someone answer the above question?
(ps: the reason for using 2 ATV devices is that the old one is installed at my girls house while the new one at mine.)

You may well be warned that you have already purchased the show, however if you go ahead with the purchase you will be charged again.
The only way to share this showl to the Apple TV 1 is to sync or stream it from your iTunes library on your computer.

Is it possible to link a shared calender to multiple users mobile devices?

We are trying to use an outlook shared calendar to schedule day to day activities in a remote location where desktop access is limited. Is it possible to view a shared calendar thru mobile devices that have an outlook account> So far the only participant
that can view the calendar on his phone is who ever created it.

They cannot access it via the shared mailbox or as a shared calendar in their mailbox. If you use the Share calendar feature to generate an ics link, or publish the calendar, users should be able to subscribe to the calendar by adding the ics link to their
calendar app. (I know it works in iOS devices, have not tried on Android or WinPhone.)

Sharing between my iPhone, my wife's iPhone and her iPad2

My wife and I both have an iPhone and separate itunes accounts. This Christmas she will be receiving a new iPad2. We also have an Apple TV2 that we currently have set up with home sharing to my PC. I am confused as to get all content to be shared between all three devices and further into the Apple TV2.
If the Apple Tv is being shared with my PC and my iPhone, can we also share it with my wife's iPhone and her new iPad2? If so how do I do that. If I remember right, we can only set up one shared iten with the apple tv, is this correct?
Basically, if possible, how do I get all 4 items (2 iPhones, 1 Apple TV2 and one iPad2)? How can this be done if my wife has a different iTiunes account than I?
Please advise...
Thanks,
Mike

Home Sharing between 2 Apple ID accounts on separate PCs...can our iOS devices access both?

Hi All
Hope someone can help. My wife and I have separate iTunes accounts with separate Apple IDs on separate PCs.
We both have HomeSharing turned on and can access each others music libraries from both PCs which is great. However when I try to access the home shared libraries from our devices (I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2, and my wife has an iPhone 5) when connected to the home network I can only see my own shared library on my devices and my wife can only see her own shared Library from her iPhone 5.
Just for background we are both running the latest iTunes and are on win7 PCs, my iPhone 4 is on iOS7, the iPad 2 and iPhone 5 are currently running iOS6
Is there a way to see each others shared libraries on all our devices when we connect to the home network through wifi?
Many thanks!
Chris

Hello Chris G Shirley,
In order to do this, you would need to switch between the two Apple IDs used on each system in Settings > Music.
On iPhone, go to Settings > Music, then log in to Home Sharing using the same Apple ID and password.

Question about bluetooth communication between PC and mobile device

I am a newbie of bluetooth communication. This time I need to have connumication between PC and mobile device (mainly mobile phone) by sending strings. PC is acted as server and mobile device act as client.
For using bluetooth in PC, I use bluecove 2.0.1
I have already connected them successfully.
When I want to send strings between them, it is found that it can only do one cycle of communication (client -> server -> client).
For my design, they can communicate multiple times.
I simulate the core class of the system, the performance is fine.
Cound anyone help me to watch the code and give me some advices?

i haven't worked with devices but only with the toolkit emulators;
it definitely is possible...
u have to send the image as a bytestream and receive the image at the jsp end...
and then reconstruct the image.
the Stream classes in J2ME AND J2SE are all u will require.
also the Image class.
i have not done this but i have successfully sent an image frm a jsp and displayed it on the emulator.

I have multiple devices and don't want everything shared between them. How do I fix that?

I have and iphone and three ipods in my home. They are all connected to my apple id and everything ends up being shared between them. Can I make seperate accounts for each of them, but have them all attached to my credit card? Thanks for any help!!!

If you have a Mac (don't know about Windows), you can disable automatic syncing in iTunes > Preferences > Devices:
That way, you can manually do it by plugging in the device and launching iTunes.

Mobile Devices (Android and iOS) cannot Connect to WS 2008 RRAS L2TP VPN with Pre-Shared Key

I have my Windows Server 2008 standard installed with RRAS service and configure with L2TP VPN with pre-shared key. Services such as Active Directory, DHCP and DNS are not installed. The Internet connection doesn't pass through a router to my server machine.
I have the Verizon fios Internet cable plugged in to the server machine directly.
PCs running Windows and Mac OS X can connect to the server without problem. When I tried to connect by using android or iOS mobiles and tablets, they cannot connect to the server. If I change the VPN type to PPTP, the mobile devices can connect successfully
but I would like to use IPSec/L2TP since it's more secure.
I tried so hard to look for the solution for this issue on Internet but I had no luck on that. Can anyone please provide me some help, please ?
Thanks,
CK

Hi CK,
I think we may need to create a policy in Network Policies. Please follow the steps below,
Right click Network Policies, Click New.
Enter the policy name, click Next.
Click Add, select the Day and Time Restrictions, click
Add.
In the Day and Time Restrictions, choose Permited for
all, click OK.
Click Next five times(leave everything default), click
Finish.
Move the policy to top and try to connect with your device.
If issue persists, please make sure that the Connection Requet Policies have been configured properly.

Can I share ring tones or alert tones purchased from iTunes between mobile devices?

Does anyone know if there is a way to share ring tones or alert tones purchased from iTunes between mobile devices? I purchased them on my iPhone and they come up on my computer but I cannot transfer them to my iPad. Is it possible to share them between mobile devices like any other song?

If you just want to select the whole song as your ringtone (without cutting out the best part) go to your computer and check were the file is saved. When found create a copy of it and rename its extension from m4a to m4r. Now drag&drop that file into itunes and there is your ringtone

Can an Apple ID be shared between 2 devices and each be private?

Can an Apple ID be shared between 2 devices and each be private?

Of course. To do it, open iTunes holding the Option (Alt) key, so you will see an option to create a iTunes library. Note that, after doing that, you will have two iTunes libraries in the same account, so you can choose the one you want to start iTunes opening it while holding the Option key

HT1203 Why is it that music cannot be shared between two people with apple devices over wifi or Bluetooth ?

With other mobile devices it has always been easy to transfer music from one friend to the the other via Bluetooth so why is so hard to transfer music from one apple iPhone to another via wifi or Bluetooth ?

It would seem that Apple have chosen not to implement general file sharing over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth as a security measure. That said. you have no rights to transfer your music (licensed to you) to your friend. They should purchase (licence) their own copy.

Can music be shared between two devices with different apple IDs?

Can music be shared between two devices with different apple IDs?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
iTunes content can be commingled in the iTunes library on a computer and synced to iOS devices. The computer must be authorized to use the content from the respective Apple IDs in the iTunes Store menu.

Sharing between devices

How do I turn off sharing between all of my Apple devices? I have two separate cell phone numbers that are receiving texts and phone calls on both devices at the same time. These communications are even coming in to my iPads, as well, which I don't want. All four devices are under one Apple id.
Very confusing when we receive a call and four devices ring. Especially when it's a person we both know.
Thanks for your help!

FFigured it out. Thanks!

Data transfering between a mobile and F2M03GLA device using bluetooth

I am using F2M03GLA (which is a low power embedded Bluetooth v2.0+EDR module with built in high out put antenna).
I want to send and receive data from mobile to this device using bluetooth . I want to know wheather the data transfering from a mobile to F2M03GLA device is same as data transfering between a mobile to mobile. If there is any difference can u please specify me those differences.

Have you looked at the peer to peer stuff from Adobe? That might solve the data transfer without needing to stand up your own server.
