HT4910 I have 5 apple devices that are using the cloud. Do i need to have ALL of the devices backing up to the cloud since they are all on the same USER LOGIN or do i just need to buy more space?
I have multiple aple devices ( Ipad2, Ipad3, Iphone 4, Iphone 4s, Mac Mini, and Apple TV) I am using the same apple login to sync to the cloud. My question is do I need to sync ALL of them to the cloud or just one of the devices since I have them set up to sync anyway, or do i just need to buy more cloud space. Thanks
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You should sync all of them, if you want them all to share the same information.
Syncing is not the same as backing up. I suggest you continue to back up your mobile devices to your computer, unless you have a good reason to do otherwise.

Can I use the same user accounts for both Lion & SL?
I have one Mac that I can upgrade to Lion but it is the one that the entire family uses every day (I only can use it (and administer it) on weekends), so I have to make sure that there are no problems and no issues so my plan is to:
Move all of the users accounts to a different drive.
Configure 10.6.8 (SL) to use the user accounts on the different drive.
Back up SL to a bootable drive.
Repartition the Mac for a SL & Lion partition.
Reconstitute SL on both partitions.
Upgrade one SL partition to Lion.
I should now have a partition for SL and Lion that both use the same users accounts so when I (and then my family) are comfortable with Lion, the switch will be transparent.
Any problems that I am unaware of (and how to remediate it)?
TIA.There are a few discussions here on the topic that I was planning to employ:
Moving Home folder to different HDD From Mac OSX Snow Leopard via Terminal?
Moving some Users to different volume
How do you move a user account to a different drive?
Another way of doing it is to move the directory, and then alter the user's home directory using the NetInfo utility (Tiger) or Directory Utility (Leopard). In both, you can change the user's home directory from the command line in Terminal.app like so:
$ sudo dscl . -create /Users/user NFSHomeDirectory /Volumes/volname+/+user
In the SL System Preferences -> Accounts one can select a user's account, right click and choose Advance Options presents the screen below. This is how I intend to point each OS to the same user account on an external HDD.
Does that answer your question?
TIA. -
If I have multiple apple devices and use the same iCloud login on them, shouldn't apple give us more iCloud storage for each device
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
No. Apple only offers 5 GB of free iCloud storage for all your devices, no matter how many you have got. If you need more iCloud storage, purchase storage. -
I have in the past created an Apple ID for use with the UK itunes store, because I want to read in English. If I sign in it seems that this ID will only allow me to purchase from the UK store. But I live in Belgium, so I can't download from the UK store. So I tried to create an apple ID for the Belgian itunes store. But I want to use the same email address as I used for the first apple ID I made (because I'm fed up of having to remember which email address I used for which account). When I tried this, I just get a message saying that the email address is already in use for another account (which I know, because it's me who made that account). Does anyone have a workaround for this?
cheers
AndrewI have tried again using the same password. and it still doesn't work.
I'm presuming you went ahead and set up a new Apple ID, yes? Using the same password in more than one Apple ID has worked for me in the past, but I haven't tried it in a while so the tightened security may have changed that. You could use the same password but add "-UK" and "-BE", or something like that, to make it easier to remember.
I understand what you mean about losing the ability to deal with UK purchased stuff, but this is becoming so inconvenient that I do want to delete that UK apple ID account. I have looked everywhere I can think of on the apple website (apple id, itunes, support etc) and I can't find a link/eplanation/contact point that deals with deleting apple ID and itune store accounts. Surely this must be possible?
It's possible, but Apple is very reluctant to do it, and it's not something a user can do on their own. It would be better to just stop using the UK account rather than trying to get it deleted. Just remove your payment information and there should be little reason to have the account deleted. If you really want to try, though, you'll need to send a message to iTunes support specifying that you want the account cancelled.
On a completely different matter, I have bought my son an ipod touch. But since he is younger than 13 years old, how does one go about using the itunes store to get music onto his ipod touch?
You would need to buy tracks for him; he's too young to have his own iTunes Store account. To control what gets synched to his iPod, this should help:

I have a new ipod and added all my apps to it. When I sign in to Words with Friends it says that "user name is already in use" because it is linked to my old ipod. How can I use the same user name with my new ipod?
Was the iPod setup via iTunes on this computer?
Setup via wifi?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Audible is a different account from iTunes and does not require the same username / password. -

Unfortunately Windows has never offered this feature as a built-in feature, but there are several possibilities discussed in these articles:

Subject : Can't buy the gold in crime city HD.
To whom may concern :
My name is Mr. Gunawan, now I was playing crime city hd, and I have buy 2 times gold in that game, using the same creadit card.
but when I want to buy the third times, can't it's said "Please contact itunes support to complete this transaction"
so I was think may be something wrong with my credit card, and I direct call my credit card to check to make sure that I still have limit,
according to my credit card customer service, everthing is ok, nothing wrong with my payment, the limit is more that enough for the next transaction.
I try to buy it again, but still can't and it's said "Please contact itunes support to complete this transaction"
pls kindly advise. So I can keep continue playing playing crime city hd.
Best regards,
Gunawan

How open multiple responsibilities in the same user login session in R12 ?
Dear All,
Can anyone help me to know how to open multiple responsibility in the same user login session in R12 ?
Thanks..
Edited by: G-oracle on Sep 18, 2011 11:22 AMCan anyone help me to know how to open multiple responsibility in the same user login session in R12 ?What do you mean by open multiple responsibilities in the same session? You can only see the menu of one responsibility at a time, so how to do you expect the application to let you see multiple responsibilities/menus in one session?
You could open another session and this way you can access more than one responsibility at the same time.
Thanks,

We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten. Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ? Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?
Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences. -
Steps for re-using the same user id of a deleted user in OIM 11g ?
Hello experts,
By Default, in OIM 11.1.1.5.0 it is not allowing to re-use the same user id of a deleted user.
Consider a user with user id as "ABCD1234". The user is deleted from OIM and it is not getting displayed in the user search. But in DB we could see that user details with "Deleted" status. Say accidently this hard delete has happened .
How do we create that user again with same user id ?
What is recommended for such scenario ?
Thanks,
DKI suggest disable the unique index instead of dropping it using ALTER INDEX <INDEX_NAME> DISABLE command.
Better way to handle this do below
1. disable index
2. update usr_login for deleted user using sql query eg. xx|usr_login and commit it ( update usr set usr_login='xx'|| usr_login where upper(usr_status)='DELETED')
3. enable your index
4. now login to OIM and easily you can create user with the previous user login
In this case your Index is still enbaled so it won't hamper the performancem, because this index is being used in various places for user search.
NOTE: disable any other constraints if required. But, I don't think so. Just disabling unique index will allow you to update"

How can we get our own purcahes on the one iPad please?
Hi Shadow,
The apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that they were purchased under. Your iCloud accounts are also Apple IDs, so although you can sync the apps to your individual device via iTunes, you will be syncing them to the devices, not to iCloud.
Since you are still purchasing everything under one Apple ID, then I'm presuming that they live in a single iTunes library on your computer or Mac? If that is the case, then you would just want to:
Hook up a device to the Mac or computer
Select the device when it shows up under devices
Once selected, the Device Profile screens display to the right - click on the Apps tab, and select which ones you want on that device.
Also check all the other profile pages to make sure they are set up to sync the things you want to sync to that device.
On the info page, you will see that you can sync Contacts & Calendars via iCloud or via iTunes. If you want a single source for contacts & calendars for both of your devices, sync them via iTunes. If you want your own sets of contacts & calendars, sync them via iCloud.
Do you have iCloud set up on the computer or Mac? If so, which iCloud account are you planning on using?
Some of the decisions you will want to make will depend on how you have your computer or Mac configured in conjunction with iTunes. One Apple ID, but one or two User Accounts for the computer or Mac? iCloud on the computer or Mac? What do you want to share and to not share?
Post back with any questions.
Cheers,

Can I create a seperate apple id & iTunes account using the same device?
I want to create a seperate iTunes account for my daughter to use when she borrows my iPad. Is this possible to do without effecting my account I already have linked to it?
Thanks,
LeannaThe ipad is designed to be a single user device, while you can log an ID out and another in, there is a possibility that one of the accounts will get restricted and unable to be used for 90 dyas, I do not know exactly why but I have seen many complaints from people here that have attempted it for games and such.

I would like to rent a movie from iTunes on one of my apple tv's and would like to know if I can watch that movie rental on another apple tv on the same network. I used to rent movies on my Mac and was able to watch on different apple tv through home-sharing.
Hey hskcheng,
Movies rented on an Apple TV can not be transferred to a different device. See this article for reference -

I have two iPads under the one user ID. Mine and my 4 year olds. When making purchases for the App Store, the purchase goes to both IPads. How do I stop content going to both?
Any help would be great.Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have to disable Automatic Downloads on the iPad where you don't want to get the purchases. Open Settings > iTunes & App Stores, and disable Automatic Downloads for Apps, Music and/or Books. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539
