HT4436 How do you set up icloud on all devices so that they communicate

how do I set up my icloud on my iphone and macbook so that they communicate with each other

This can get a little confusing, your AppleID account has an email address associated with it, and a user ID.  The iCloud account can be the AppleID account, but only if the AppleID is an email address.  The iCloud account ID must be an email address.  And, if you have made the ID: [email protected], then you cannot change that account.  But you can change the AppleID account to match.
See the iCloud FAQ for more info.

  • How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device

    How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately you will need to create your Apple ID (account) on another mobile device or a Mac computer. Once three iCloud accounts have been created on an iOS device, it doesn't matter what you do to that device, no further accounts can be created on it.

  • How can you set up more than one device on iTunes. I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices.

    How can you set up more than one device on iTunes? I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices. I have all my music/videos on iTunes on my mac book pro. Can you set up separate folders for each device and drop in what ever music/videos from the main iTunes library?

    In itunes it is called syncing and you can choose exactly what content to sync to all devices and it can be different for all of them

  • How do you set default programs for all users when deploying Windows 8.1?

    I have my Windows 8.1 image set up the way I want including the start screen, theme, etc. But how can I set the default programs for all users. Most of out computers are non-touch and I want the desktop apps (e.g. Windows Photo Viewer), not the store apps
    to be the default for opening pictures, videos, etc. Can that be done?

    Great question, this has been bugging me too!
    So, I did some research by using "Set Default Programs" app in Windows 8. Then I ran the super ProcMon.exe tool from Sysinternals.com <Thanks Mark!>
    After filtering out the junk, I could see some *interesting* writes to the registry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\UserChoice]
    "Hash"="57y87/ogggU="
    "ProgId"="PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Jpeg"
    But the "Hash" part had me concerned. I did some internet searching for the hash, and came across a post and a pointer to a blog with some answers.  This is both good news and bad.
    Background:
    One of the problems with Windows XP is that any program can come in and party on the entire system. No, I don't want you to put a shortcut on the desktop, install a crappy IE Toolbar, and change the default file association for *.jpg files to your app, I
    just wanted to play a stupid game. Since Windows 7, Microsoft has been attempting to block that functionality from the stupid applications, and give them back to the user. Take note of the last line in the ITaskbarList3 interface:
       Applications cannot programmatically pin themselves to the taskbar. That functionality is reserved strictly for the user.
    Of course that sucks for us IT Pros who may wish to create *default* working environments for corporate images, but there are some tricks we can do.
    Solution:
    This blog appears to have the answer:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/mrmlcgn/archive/2013/02/26/windows-8-associate-a-file-type-or-protocol-with-a-specific-app-using-a-gpo-e-g-default-mail-client-for-mailto-protocol.aspx
    New for Windows 8 is a dism command: /Get-DefaultAppAssociations that allows you to export a control case from a known good computer. Microsoft the supports importing the exported xml file via GPO. For example, before I changed the file association, .AVI
    was pointing to the Modern App, after the change the /export-DefaultAppAssociations shows change to the new app:
    From:
    <Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="AppXhjhjmgrfm2d7rd026az898dy2p1pcsyt" ApplicationName="Video" />
    To:
    <Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="VLC.avi" ApplicationName="VLC media player" />
    I am still doing some investigation to see if a GPO is required, or if you can inject the association into a local user account. Also, if you do have some Modern Windows 8 Touch Tablets, it would recomend keeping most of the Modern App defaults in place,
    perhaps seperate GPO's for Desktops/Laptops vs Tablets?

  • How do you set up VPN on Mac from information that's only from a Windows computer?

    My workplace only supports setting up VPN on my Windows computer, but not my Mac, and I would love to access VPN from my Mac as well.
    I am running Mountain Lion on my Mac and Windows 7 on my PC.

    You will need to know what type of VPN they use, L2TP/IPsec and PPTP or a proprietary one.
    With that information there are lots of guides on how to set up the L2TP and PPTP on the web, usually they are for a commercial VPN supplier but you would need to put your companies info into the correct boxes in System Preferences/Network.
    If it is proprietary, go to the makers web site and see if here is a suitable client to download and use, again enter your companies info into that software.
    There is also Open VPN client that may work.
    One thing to be aware of is that some companies forbid any connection to their system unless using approved software.

  • How do I set up different versions of FF so that they do not interact?

    Changes to the 'safety' of FF mean that some HTML script applications will not allow loading of a file from your own hard drive through Windows File Picker. This eliminates use of FF for some hobby research.
    I've tried to install 2.0.0.20 [latest version with this working] and then use current versions for on line. However they interact, using the same profile and preferences.
    Can I have two, independent versions on the same computer? How is it set up to keep them completely 'isolated'? Two drives are available [and tried!]
    Until I can solve this, I've reverted to version 2-20
    Thanks!

    >> I'm not looking for different profiles in the -=same=- version of Firefox,
    >> but looking to run -=separate=- versions.
    Doesn't make any difference the answer is still the same, did you read the MozillaZine links that John99 provided, you can ONLY have one default browser. Your separate versions of Firefox and profiles that are not the default firefox and profile must all use '''-no-remote''' or you will be in trouble.

  • How Do you Copy Photo Albums to all devices over icloud

    So I have the following setup
    iPad 2, new iPad, iPhone 4s; and 2 windows computers.
    I have photostream enabled.  Photos sync across as they should however, If i place a photo in an album; I am wanting the album to be copied to the rest of the devices as well so I can sort the photos. 
    Has anyone figured this one out?

    Whilst you can add any photo you want to Photostream on a computer, I doubt this is going to help you. photostream only keeps photos for 30 days.

  • How did you set up your spouses account?

    How did you set up your spouses iOS device, iCloud account, etc?  And what do you recommend? 
    My wife and I have one iMac we share (with two login accounts - so basically two computers), an iPad, and two iPhones.  Since there are certain things we really like to share between accounts (PhotoStream, Find My iPhone, Documents/iCloud Drive), we've shared the same master iCloud account for the last few years.  This has had some drawbacks with things we *don't* want to share, such as we now have to sync our Safari bookmarks, and our keychain/logins for personal websites sometimes overlap, or the "Recent Contacts" shows the last people my wife contacted, not mine, etc. 
    The pros have outweighed the cons, but it has always left me wanting.
    And now that things have changed a bit with iOS 8 and iCloud Drive, Handoff, and Family Plan. I figured now would be a good time to revisit our setup and what would work best for our family.  (Of course, this might be a bit premature, with the looming new Photos App from Apple coming, that might make us buy storage in iCloud, but if you have any forethoughts into that, I'd appreciate hearing them!)

    You may wish to look at alternatives to sharing the items you've been sharing. For example, you could use shared streams instead of my photo stream, in many ways it might be better, that way you share selected items rather than everything. You really don't need to share Find my phone, you can still use find my phone to find a device associated with any account if you sign in with that account, if you want to see where someone is find friends is a much better choice. You can also share links to iWork documents using iCloud document by document.

  • How do you set up Communication between QuickBooks & Acrobat Pro X

    How do you Set up your Acrobat Pro X Pdf Form to communicate with Intuit QuickBooks 10?  Is there special formatting that is involved or is all in the field names?  I have a detailed form that I would like to import the data into Quick Books but I seem to be running in circles and not a straight line.  Can you help me in this matter?
    Thank you in advance - Badgeteam

    Hi,
    We don't have Quickbooks, however having had a look here are some comments:
    Acrobat (for Windows) has some Quickbook templates, which are already set up with a data connection to Quickbooks.
    You should use these, as their structure is set up for you.
    If you open Acrobat, there is an option for Quickbooks from the Forms menu.
    When you select a template, you will be prompted to open this in LiveCycle Designer.
    Once in LC Designer you can examine the objects and their binding (Object > Binding palette).
    You will also notice that there is a script objects "QuickBooks" under variables in the hierarchy. It is highly unlikely that you will need to change anything here, I am just highlighting that it exists and again that it is better to use one of the templates.
    As I don't have Quickbooks, I can't be of much help. There is more information available here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/3D/WS4E66C448-C5F3-444c-ACE4-778DE09A30B5.html

  • How do you set up to back up iPad notes in iCloud?  I turned on backing up notes in iCloud settings, and it asked me to create a .me account, which I did, but I don't see my notes anywhere on iCloud, and I never received a password for my .me account.

    You'll find your notes under Mail in iCloud. There's a separate folder on the left that's labeled notes so you can access them anywhere. And your me.com account will have the same password as your Apple ID (in fact, you can log into iCloud with just your Apple ID, as the two accounts are permanently linked).
