HT5622 We family wants to use only one apple ID for all devices ie iMac ( 4 persons sharing desktop), IPads (2nos) how we should be going about sharing same

And how to create separate log in IDs for each person on IMac PCM.
I am first time user of IMac,

iCloud is not designed for multi-user use. If everyone has the same login, then they will all see the same emails, contacts, calendars and so on. If you want them to be separate then everyone needs their own Apple ID and iCloud account. Each separate iCloud account needs to be on a different device or a different user account on your Mac.
You should be aware that any one device can create a maximum of three iCloud accounts, so with more than three you will have to set up remaining accounts on another device - you can do this from iPads so you shouldn't have a problem.

How to force RH9 to use only one master stylesheet for all Word imports?

I have set a stylesheet (css) as the default for my RH9 WebHelp project in project settings. When I import Word documents into the project, the edit import setting dialog does not show this stylesheet in the list of available stylesheets for the import.
What is happening instead is a proliferation of unwanted stylesheets derived from all the imported documents. I then have to manually re-set all the new topics to the master stylesheet.
How can I stop this, and force RH9 to use only the one master stylesheet for all imports?

Hi Peter,
That’s what I thought I was doing in the Project Settings>Import tab>CSS for Style Mapping selection. Maybe that isn’t what it’s meant to do. It’s just getting annoying having all these unneeded files popping up in the project manager so that I have trouble distinguishing the “real” topics from the extra stuff.

Should you use only one smtp address for all email accounts?

My iPhone and iPad will not send mail from either of two email accounts. Ive checked the smtp settings and passwords several times. I have several email accounts with different providers/servers though, so should there only be one server chosen for all? Cant figure out why my email won't send! Anyone know an answer?

No. Each mail provider has its own SMTP server. And you won't be able to send email from one provider's email account through another provider's smtp server.
Each account should have its provider's SMTP server set as its Primary Server. And The rest of the smtp servers should be turned off for that particular account.

I want only one apple ID for all my devices

I have an apple ID and so does my wife. Between the four family members we 8 plus apple devices. I want to put everything on hers and just have one. Mine has the least amount of music and apps. Can it be done? How do you do it without losing anything?

What exactly are you wanting to do. It is a little unclear from your post. You've also posted in the iTunes Match forum. Does your question have something to do with iTunes Match?
Keep in mind that if you all have your own content purchased with indvidual iTunes Store accounts, trying to consolidate is going to cause everyone big headaches. But if you give us more details perhaps we can help you sort it out.

HT204053 why does my ipad "Apple Store" app, not recognize me when i try to log in using my apple id? i use only one apple id for both store and iCloud and know i am keying correctly. hmmm.

we use a pc to hold all of our media but are two ppl in the household. we both log into itunes and apple store using our own passwords. recently on my ipad i was no longer able to upgrade/log in the apple store because when it asks for my password it prompts for my partners password and it doesn't recognize me. also, oddly, my partner added an app that i also want to add on his ipad. when i attempted to add that app using my apple id log in it thinks i'm him and prompts for his password on my ipad therefore leaving me no way to have that app. how do i get my app store to function again (recognize me) and how can we finally figure out how to separate the media so i don't get his apps on my devices and mine on his (and then not be able to access them b/c we don't share passwords)? please help.

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.

Can Linda have only one Apple ID for 2 devices?

Linda has an iPod that she says she has an ID for. When she gets home today she will be setting up her new iPhone 4s. Should she make an entirely different ID for the iPhone?

Would you need help to learn how to have the apps on Linda's first device on her second one? The apps will not be there when you log in on the second device.

Yes I know the password for Apple ID.
Then there should be no issue for you.

I do not know the password to get onto the 3G phone to make changes or update apps etc.
Then there is more than one Apple ID involved.... Or a Restrictions Passcode has been set.

Then what do you mean by this ?

If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account. You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

I am using only one Apple ID. The problem, since iOS 6, is the App Store purchased items screen just shows loading screen it finally crashes or gives the error message 'can not connect to Apple store'

HT201251 I want to use 30 ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices

I want to use 30 ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices?

Alternatively you can always manage your iPads (does not matter how many) with a single apple id and all reporting to your account under "find my device" service. Keeping an eye on all your units. Additionally as you mentioned these are for your Restaurant you may find the solutions offered by this company who creates apps and hardware for this purpose: http://www.spartakioskpro.com
Additionally if you expand beyond those 30 iPads to say 300 you will want to enable or plan on MDM as your best option to automate every ipad to use the same profile and app and ios configuration while also keeping a close eye on all of them via online MDM services like: https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager
Here is a pic

I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family. I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases. I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet. My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses. I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work. However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account. Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses. Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

Thats how the majority of people use iCloud. All you need to do is sign into the same account on all of your devices.

Is it ok to use one apple id for two devices ?

Here's the deal: The SLA permits the "sharing" of content with up to 5 family members in the same household. Any other distribution of content is considered stealing...the SLA does not give you the right to distribute content in any way, shape or form. Its really that simple, and "friend" is NOT a family member living in the same household.
