HT204053 I have three IOS devices and would like to have separate iCloud IDs for each device, but I would to keep one Apple ID for iTunes that share with my spouse for purchasing. Please help

How do I create separate iCloud id for three of my IOS devices?
1. Iphone
2. Ipad
3. Macbook air

If she doesn't have an iCloud account on her iPhone or iPad now, you can just go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with a different Apple ID to set up the new account, then turn on the data that you want to sync with iCloud. She can continue to use the same ID for the App and iTunes store; it doesn't need to be the same as the the ID she uses for iCloud.
If she is already sharing your iCloud account on her devices, you should go to Settings>iCloud on her phone, tap Delete Account (which only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud), when prompted choose Keep on My iPhone, then set up a new account by signing back in with a different Apple ID. Then turn on the data she wants to sync with iCloud, and when prompted, choose Merge to upload her data to the new account. After doing this on her phone, go to Settings>iCloud on her iPad, tap Delete Account, when prompted choose Delete from my iPad, then sign into the new account just created on her phone using the new ID and turn on her data syncing to sync the iCloud data in the new account to her iPad. Finally, if you have any merged data in your accounts from sharing the original account, you'll need to go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and delete the data you don't want from each account.

This has worked for some others.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hello AndrewsAFCx,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
If you cannot remember your security questions for your Apple ID, I would recommend these steps outlined in the article named:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
All the best,
Sterling

You may have to see about using the Recovery HD partition to attempt to erase and restore useful function of the capacity lost to the former Windows installation.
And you may have to backup your contents outside the computer to do it. Disk Utility on the Mac OS X historically has not been able to touch a BootCamp created partition; so if BootCamp cannot remove it, then you have to see how to do the equivalent of a reformat of the entire drive (less Recovery partition?) then reinstall your OS X. Maybe from internet recovery, then get your applications, etc from the Mac App store, etc.
A complete system clone of your OS X on an external HDD would be another method to restore after reformat, of the portion you want whole again, not necessarily the space where Recovery may live.
There may be (an)other way(s).
Perhaps someone with recent experience
in this matter can reply & discuss options.
With my antiques, they almost know what I want before I tell them.
Hopefully yours will after you talk to it awhile.
Good luck & happy computing!

Apple Airport newbie with some questions before purchasing - please help...

Hello all,
Please excuse my ignorance but despite looking through the relevant online manual I wish to check a couple of things before I purchase the Aiport Express (and then possibly regret it).
I have a Windows XP laptop which connects to the internet through a wi-fi connection (access to the physical router is not available me) and I want to be able to play iTunes on my laptop through my hi-fi (wirelessly).
Am I correct in thinking the Aiport Express will do this for me? If so is any extra equipment besides the necessary hi-fi to Airport express cable required?
The Airport Express doesn't need to physically connect to the router does it? Or it doesn't need to become the router providing the wi-fi does it?
How does 'AirTunes' factor into the setup and what is better about e.g. Aiport Extreme and why would you ever need an Airport card?
I have no desire for using the Airport equipment as a router or home hub for printing etc. but just streaming iTunes to my hi-fi.
Any help/clarification would be most appreciated. Many thanks in advance,
Daniel

djsuk43, Welcome to the discussion area!
Am I correct in thinking the Aiport Express will do this for me?
Yes
The Airport Express doesn't need to physically connect to the router does it? Or it doesn't need to become the router providing the wi-fi does it?
No and no.
How does 'AirTunes' factor into the setup...
It is simply the term Apple uses for streaming music via iTunes through the AirPort Express (AX).
...what is better about e.g. Aiport Extreme...
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) does not have an audio out port therefore you can't use it to stream music.
The AEBS however does support Ethernet clients, multiple USB printer and multiple USB hard drives.
...and why would you ever need an Airport card?
If you have an older Mac without built-in wireless you would add the appropriate AirPort card to give it wireless ability.

I have songs on my iPhone 5 that have been purchased through iTunes that isn't displaying cover art. Please help!

I have a few songs, quite a few actually, that have been purchased through iTunes and they aren't displaying the cover art on my iPhone. They have previously, but now for some reason it has stopped. Only on a few.
Can anyone help me?
I have the latest version of iTunes and I'm using a PC with Windows 7.

Hello kerrisapatricia,
It sounds like you have a couple of songs you want to delete from your iPhone. This article should help with that:
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
To delete a song:
Tap the Music app.
Tap the Songs category.
Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
Tap Delete.
If you see a cloud icon next to them right now, or after you delete them you can hide them by turning off Show all Music in your settings here:
Tap Settings > Music

Heres the deal my cuzin stold my ipods charger(the one to download music and charge in a usb port)well i found it in her room and she says its hers (but its not!) is thier a way to prove that the charger is mine ?? please help me find a way to prove it!

like i said my cusin stold my charger and says its hers when i know its mine but is thier a way i can prove it to her? please help:( my ipod is dead ever scence and i want it back!

i thought about going the same route you did, but when I started looking at the prices of everything, I decided it was a better idea to just get a new stereo that can play and charge my iPhone.
After a lot of comparing, looking and price checking, I decided to go with the Alpine IDA-X100. This is a media player only device (no cd player built in) and it has been great. It has an awesome interface and dial setup that let's you go through your music just as if it were on an iPod. It even has a small color screen that displays the album artwork for you. My car has a factory BOSE system in it and the Alpine head unit even managed to improve the sound quality. Go see you local alpine dealer (or best buy) and check it out. The supplied cable charges the phone and plays music too. Your iPhone will give you an error message when you plug it in, saying that the accessory was not designed for iPhone, but if you just click no it works great.

Add-ons are the responsibility of their authors. McAfee does not even put their extension on http://addons.mozilla.org you had to install it from their site.
Disable "McAfee Site Advisor" extension which was just updated to 3.4.0, which probably took it out of the addons block list.
* "Ctrl+Shift+A" > find McAfee Site Advisor and use "Disable", and then restart Firefox.
* Do a Google Search no problem
* It seems that if you re-enable Site Advisor again, and restart Firefox you are okay. At least you know where to look if you get the error again or Google searches slow down.

I would like to change the iCloud drive account associated to my iPad to a different one. How do I do this?

My iPad Air (IOS 8.1) is currently linked to my personal Apple ID & iCloud drive, but I would like to use it with a different account.

Most excellent! Glad you got the one you want signed in now
Cheers,

I had the iPhone 3GS and I've just got the new iPhone 4. I restored my iPhone 4 and all my contacts, pictures, messages, everything went over fine. But my apps havent? What do I do to get my apps onto my IP4? Please help! Thank you :)

No, ON means "active". If you switch for example iTunes to "OFF" the icon will not be visible anymore. If app installation is switched to off, your app pane in iTunes will be greyed out.
Are you using the same account as when you bought the apps? Did you check the account info in Settings/Store/AppleID ?
You can download the apps again for free: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Do I need a different apple id for each device? I have two iPads and an iPod but can only purchase things on the first one. When I go to verify the questions they say they are wrong.

Do I need a different apple ID for each device I have? I have two iPads and an iPod but I can only make purchases with the first one I purchased. It tells me the security questions are wrong but I know they are not because I wrote them down. I have also reset them and my password once. Please help if you can

You can not login into iTunes or the App Store using VPP credentials. You must purchase all apps/book/etc. from the VPP website. Then you can redeem the codes thru itunes/app store or import the codes thru apple configurator. Here is the url for the VPP website: https://volume.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/login?cc=us
(It will not affect any of the apps you already have but the id can only be used for VPP.)
Cheers,

You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, including separate backups. I'd suggest giving each device a unique name, to make things easier.

You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.
