HT2534 I have two class sets of iPad 2s and I would like to set up an iTunes account but don't want to put in my credit card information or individual students' information. What is the best way to set up class sets of iPads?

I am a K-6 tech teacher and just recieved two classroom sets of iPads. I'm wondering what is the best way to set up iTunes so that apps may be downloaded. I do not want to put my personal information in and I do not want students to put in their informtion either. Teachers want to be able to download free apps and when the school purchases iTunes gift cards, they would like to be able to use them. What is the best way to go about this?
Thank You!
Jess

Contact your IT person. They will help you with provisioning & setting up the iPads and getting apps on them and locking them down so students can only access certain settings and apps.
I have asked that this post get moved to iPad Enterprise as it is more approriate forum for your question (even though it is about schools))
Don't create an AppleID yourself and use it to put stuff onto the school iPads. You can't have more than 10 iPads to one iTunes account anyway.

What is the best way to remove crayon writing from my Ipad?

What is the best way to remove crayon writing from my Ipad?

All Apple recommends is a damp cloth.
Depending on how much and thick it is, I'd use a dry papertowel or your fingernail to scrape the bulk of it off (I suggest fingernail so that you use something that can't really scratch the iPad)
Once you get most of it, then use a damp, not wet, cloth, maybe one that you moistened with warm water to help cut through the waxy nature of the crayon.
What you don't want to do is use chemicals or anything like a scrubby pad because you don't want to scratch the surface in your efforts to clean it.

What is the best way for a family to set up apple ID's and icloud?

My partner and I have separate apple id's and own a mac book, ipad, 2 iphones and apple tv. What's the best way to set it all up so we can access everything on each device? Can we merge our ID's into one and transfer all our payments? We just registered for icloud and used a new shared email address, but still have our separate apple ID's. We have separate email addresses, calendars and notes that we would prefer to keep separate. It's really just our itunes purchases, music and photos that we want to be able to share. Thanks in advance! Cheers, Nicky

They will be able to download everything that was bought with their Apple ID. If they all shared an ID then they switched to their own ID they won't be able to use any apps or music bought with another Apple ID. As I explained in my previous response. There is only one way to share apps and content across multiple Apple ID's and that is home share. So, NO there isn't a "Smooth" way to do it.

Associate your mobile numbers with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

I want to give away my old Mac Powerbook G4 to a friend, what is the best way to cleanly do this?

I want to give away my old Mac Powerbook G4 to a friend. Ideally I'd like to get my iphoto/itunes library deleted, but am afraid it will delete itself on my new MacBookPro as well. This would be tragic. Ideas?

If you used the migration assistment then your data will be okay.
I (and most of the people here) would strongly recommend you reformat the computer before giving it to anybody

Even though I have redeemed gift cards on my account when I go to purchase a song it keeps asking for credit card information.

Any time you've changed anything in your billing, it does this once to very things.

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

What is the best way to create videos for my website?

Hi,
I'm a public speaking coach in Sydeny Australia. I've started a blog and want to include videos to my newsletter subscribers. I do not want to use YouTube, because I want to only share these videos to people on my list.
What is the best way / program to create good videos for my customers? I think I might need to upload these videos to my server and only share the links...? Any suggestions welcome.
Thank you

Trevor:
This may be more information than you asked for, but here goes:
Get a Samsung S10 Video camera (under $400) and a Zoom H4n Professional audio recorder. Get Adobe Production Premium CS5. The camera shoots 1920 x 1080 square pixel in a better quality than a $6000 Panasonic P2 from 4 years ago. The downside, the audio from the Samsung is poor. That's why I recommend the Zoom H4n. On the Premiere timeline, you simply align the waveform of the video with the higher quality wave from the H4n. You can buy a medium sized fold up greenscreen and place any background behind your talent. CS5 has Ultra built in, so you can easily key out the green right on the Premiere timeline revealing a nice background of your choice.
I would design a web page based upon your current website's look and feel that will be a template for your videos. You export your finished video from the Premiere timeline as an f4v. I would recommend 16x9 widescreen and use the Flash preset of "Web Large Widescreen". You can also specify a "Fullscreen" button on the video's controller. The quality is so good that the video will look good even when your client watches it full screen. You import the video into Flash CS5 using the same document dimensions as your video size. You create a Flash template and "Publish" your Flash movie TO your template. Then all that is necessary is to upload all of the associated Web ready files to your server via FTP or Dreamweaver. This workflow streamlines the process and saves hours of fiddling around.
As far as the Web page goes that has your video, give the pages an HTML name like; vid0096hvc.html and use the Robots No Follow tag:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
This is the next best thing to having a client log-in and works in a setting where people aren't paying
to see the video, but you still don't want them plastered all over the internet.

What is the best way to encode and compress?

I just finished an hour and a half long video of comedians performing. The client wants this to be put on dvd so he can mass produce it. What is the best way to compress this and encode it? Should I buy compressor or can I do it in handbrake? What are the best best settings to make sure it doesnt lose quality? Please advise...

You should be able to get up to 2 hours at least.
The best way is to export as a Master File and drop it into iDVD, Toast or some other DVD authoring app.

What is the best way to use recovery files

I am working in FM 11 and have crashed FM a few times. What is the best way to use the recovery files and save them as the normal file? Then should I filter an explorer window for "recovery" so FM won't keep asking me if I want to use older recovery files? Thanks for your help.

> What is the best way to use the recovery files ...
Use a .recover file to extract only the new/changed content that would otherwise be lost if you were instead to open the .auto (if any), or .backup files.
> ... and save them as the normal file?
Don't. If the document crashed because of an internal data structure problem, the .recover file (although actually a MIF) is apt to contain that problem.
Before doing anything, preserve the debris. Copy the .backup and .auto files in particular, because as soon as you open the main .fm file, it's going to overwrite that .backup, and then the .auto at the next auto-save interval. You can dispose of any zero-length files or files with temporary names (which result from the crash itself crashing).
I typically:
preserve a snapshot of the debris
open the original file, and if it won't, the .backup
open the .recover, .auto or .backup (whichever seems the most useful candidate as a sourcing file)
copy in the changes from the .recover, .auto or .backup to the working copy
save the working copy as the original.fm, close the sourcing file
do a MIF wash on the new original.fm
clean up the debris in preparation for the next crash

HT1386 My iPhone 4S will not sync with the music I have selected in iTunes. Has anyone else had this issue and what is the best way to fix it.

My iPhone 4S will not sync with the music I have selected in iTunes. Has anyone else had this issue and what is the best way to fix it.

Hi,
Setting up syncing
Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
USB syncing
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side. Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
Hope this helps

My wife and I share an Ipad.   We each have our own email address and calendar.   What is the best way for us to backup both accounts (we currently only have 1 ICloud account)?   Thanks for any help!    Alan

My wife and I each have our own email address and calendar. These are on one IPad.   The Ipad has a single ICloud account.
What's the best way to backup both Calendars, etc?   Does ICloud automatically back up every account on the same IPad? (I checked ICloud, but I could only find my stuff.)
Thanks for any help!
Alan

First, you need to understand that there's a difference between "syncing" and "backup". Backup is the saving of content and settings, where syncing is the bidirectional transfer of content for an account to a web-based server (like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
If you see your calendar in your iCloud account, that implies that you have set up your iCloud account to host (sync) your calendar, and perhaps contacts, email, and notes. An iCloud account can only sync one user's information at a time so it is intended to support a single user. You can have more than one iCloud account, and you can even have more than one iCloud account on the same device (but one has to be primary, and the secondary iCloud has limited capabilities), but a single iCloud account only supports a single user's content.
Backup is the saving of your device's content and settings to use in case you need to recover these things, but you can't see the contents of your backup (just the size and device name). You can backup more than one device to iCloud and you can backup to iCloud or you can backup to your computer, or both (one at a time though, you have to choose).
So, if your wife has her own email and calendar she can certainly do that in parallel to whatever account(s) you have for email and calendar. But if you have only one iCloud account then only one of you can use it for email, calendar, etc. But the backup of these accounts is really just a backup of the device's settings that link the device to these accounts. For example, if she uses Gmail then the backup of the iPad only backs up the fact that your iPad is set up to use her account, it does not backup the account itself (the content of her account is saved and preserved on Google's servers, not your device's backup).
Does that make better sense?

With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos from the ipad to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances

With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances.

There are only two ways of transfering things on the iPad.
- via WiFi
- via usb cable
From what I have read, you need to connect to iTunes on the supervising PC.
