I have one icloud id on my mac and want to share photos, calendars, etc with an ipad with a different icloud id. if I create a new id for both of us will this work? My concern is losing data on either device. (the mac book pro is new, but has all of the retrieved data from my previous mac book pro)

You will lose data from whichever was the 2nd to last to sync .
Don't do it.

I have my Mac with Mountain Lion and my IPad synched and have Pages on both. I have doc in Word on my Mac I want to access on my IPad while I am away travelling. But I can't locate them. Where should I look to find my previously saved Word docs?

It looks like you haven't got them on iCloud. On your Mac, open Pages and drag the Word documents to the iCloud window

You should be able to call the iPad using your Apple ID from the iPhone. When calling from iPad use the iPhone's phone number to initiate the call.

Just install it like you did the first time (do not try to transfer it from the old machine in any way) - you can download thru your account if you purchased it as a download originally - otherwise there is a link for downloading below. Your serial number should be available thru your Adobe account online if your registered the software previously.

If you like you can leave it on the first machine as a backup because you are allowed to have two activated installations. If you wish to remove it from the older machine you should deactivate it first (open an application and choose Help -> Deactivate).

In the new iTunes you no longer have the 'create iPod version' or 'create Apple TV version,' for converting movies. Will this feature return..?

After installing the new itunes, I inserted some video files, and wanted to create a version for my iPod classic. Before, I could just click on the video and then select 'create iPod version' from the menu. It would then convert the file. However, this feature no longer exist. Is there another way I can easily convert my files?

I have two users on the same MAC and want to have separate ITunes libraries stored on my time capsule. what's the best way to ensure that is done?

I have 2 users on a MAC each with separate accounts (email, photo, ITunes) and I want to migrate my ITUnes Library over to a time capsule so that each usewr still has their own library bu don't want to duplicate songs. What is the best way to have both Itunes pointed to separate libraries both stored on the Time Capsule?

A bit of basics on iTunes. iTunes does 99% of what you see through a library.itl file in the iTunes folder. This file is a database and in it are references to the actual media files. These files can be anywhere in theory, but if you have iTunes set to default then they are nicely organized in media folders in the iTunes folder. You have probably moved them to some central shared location in the past, then built up two individual libraries around that central location.
iTunes is very fussy about a person dragging files to a different location, and that goes double if the other location is on a different drive. You can move files, but it is best to let iTunes do it so it can keep track. If this was just for one person I'd say go into preferences, select the other drive for media location, then close preferences. My understanding (never done this before) is iTunes will then ask you if you want to move your media. Say yes and iTunes will move it and keep track of it -- for your library. Now when you go to the other person's library, it opens and you see loads of ! because their library is still looking for the media on the same drive as the library is located on. I don't think it will work (but you could always try) to re-assign the media location to the external drive because the reference in the database is to look for such-and-such a file on the internal drive. iTunes did that for the first library as part of the move, but not for the second one. Note that typically when you want to move a single user's collection from drive to drive we advise moving the whole iTunes folder, library files and all, to another drive, but you don't have that structure.
So I'm not sure what to advise. If it were me and I was absolutely gung-ho on doing this I would re-assign the media with one library. Then edit the .xml version of the library file for the second library so it points to the new file locations and import this into a fresh iTunes library for the second user. This isn't the perfect solution because nominally the .xml version does not 1005 replicate all the characteristics of the original .itl file (which cannot be edited).
Or maybe some other user bas a better idea.

Why are my options to create a new version for ipod or iphone don't work?

I've just downloaded the digital copy of the little mermaid & in the end, it didn't wnt to sync, so I searched a little on how I can make it work.
It was mostly the same answer that I found everywhere:
select the File menu > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV version. Once the media has been converted, sync the iPad version to the iPad.
But the thing is, I tried & my options when I click on create new version, they all stay gray, why? It is so frustrating

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Select all the tracks of the album and *Get Info*. On the Info tab fill in the *Album Artist* e.g. as "Various Artists" or on the Options tab set *Part of a compilation* to Yes. Ideally (see link below) do both. If iTunes is organising your tracks then those set as compilations will end up in the Compilations folder, otherwise *Album Artist* overrides Artist.
You can edit these properties before you rip a CD (1), or for existing files (2 & 3).
For further details see Grouping Tracks Into Albums. Although aimed at linking things within iTunes/iDevices if you fix all the potential problems described therein it will also do most if not all of the work required to tidy up the folders in Explorer/Finder. Windows users may find that iTunes fails to move artwork files created by Windows Media Player for which I have written a script called CleanDeadArt.

My wife and I have separate Ids but all our music is in one library. How will this work with iCloud?

My wife and I have separate Ids but all our music is in one library. How will this work with iCloud? i'm trying to download past purchases from her id, but itunes is saying that I can't because the computer is associated with my apple id. Can I associate the computer with both ids for the purpose of identifying all of our music with both or just one of our ids? Is there a good way to do this? I'm sure we're not the only people with this problem...

iTunes- How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer
You cannot merge two separate libraries across user accounts. Photos does not have the function of merging different Photos.library files. If you have Aperture then you can merge the two before migrating over to Photos.

Heya Katie!!
So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The easiest thing to do would be to sign into your iTunes account on your computer, connect your phone and sync. iTunes should copy anything from your phone that isn't already in your library on the computer.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.

Want to buy airport extreme, am using mountain lion. Will this work ? also, my house is 5,500 square feet all on one floor. Do I need an extender and which one?

want to buy airport extreme, am using mountain lion. Will this work ? also, my house is 5,500 square feet all on one floor. Do I need an extender and which one?

... If I purchase an express to extend is it hard to configure as an extender?
No, AirPort Utility prompts you with step-by-step questions and makes configuration simple.
The Express and Extreme have the same transmitter power specifications, so I suggest the $99 Express as an extender, should you need one. Beware that you cannot add a second Express to wirelessly extend the network any further - as the following excerpt from Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations explains:
Extended network range considerations
In the above example the primary Wi-Fi base station ➊ is out of wireless range of the extended Wi-Fi base station ➋, therefore the extended Wi-Fi base station cannot join or extend the wireless network. The extended Wi-Fi base station must be moved to a location that is within Wi-Fi range of the primary Wi-Fi base station.
Important Note
If another extended Wi-Fi base station ➋ is placed between the primary Wi-Fi base station ➊ and the extended Wi-Fi base station ➌, the extended Wi-Fi base station ➌ will not allow clients to join it. All extended Wi-Fi base stations must be in direct range of the primary Wi-Fi base station.
A "roaming network" that Bob described, in which all base stations are connected with an Ethernet cable, is by far the best alternative.
