I am trying to figure out how I can have a "main" itunes account for all purchases, but have seperate accounts for my children so they can use iMessage and other features of iPod touch. Also, they would be able to download free items.

Can you have one install of iTunes on a PC or Mac, but have multiple Apple IDs tied to it?

You can't have multiple IDs associated with an itunes account, but you can have one ID one 1 device and another one, but currently its impossible to merge accounts.

  • Been using Macs since classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) of entire (non-visible) folder? Any apps that can do this?

    Been using Macs since before classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents including what's not visible on screen (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) in entire folder?
    Screen shots are getting old hat.
    Tried select all, copy, paste into pages, but it didn't display date modified, size & kind, and also included images of selected files, which is too large. 
    Any apps/shortcuts/utilities that can do this?  Thanks in advance.

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

  • Hi - Re Keynote  I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album on USB flash drive. What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, also similar for embedded videos and photos etc.  Is this possible with Keynote ?

    Hi - Re Keynote  I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album (as an artist) on USB flash drive, (accessible by both Mac and PC). What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, and play in order (like a cd) - also similar for embedded videos and photos etc. This should all be on the one page.  
    Is this possible with Keynote, or any other software package for Mac (am using Macbook Pro) ?

    Hi there,
    Yikes, it sounds like you've been doing a lot of work on this project... Unfortunately, however, this isn't the Adobe Encore forum, but the Acrobat.com forum. While it seems like an exciting question, we're not able to address issues pertaining to other Adobe products and services. Here's a link to the Adobe Encore forum, where you're more likely to get help for this specific issue:

  • TS4223 I accidentally bought the HD version of a movie for my daughter's iPod nano (it can't be watched on the Nano).  So I'm trying to figure out how to re-download the SD version.  do I have to pay for the lower version??

    I accidentally bought the HD version of a movie for my daughter's nano. you can't watch HD on a nano.  So I'm trying to figure out how to re-download the SD version.  This help screen makes it seem like you can just correct the problem and just "download" the lower version.  But when I follow the steps, I basically get to where I'm just having to actually purchase the other version.  Do I have to pay to get the lower quality version after I've already paid for the HD version?

    When you purchase an HD movie or show, in most cases the SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select Movies or TV shows as appropraite. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the movies/shows and be able to download them.
    Note that with digital copies from a Blu-Ray or DVD, if it comes with an HD copy, you normally cannot get the SD copy as well and have to purchase it separately if you want it.
    Regards.

  • I am trying to figure out how to merge my AD network account.

    I am trying to figure out how to merge my AD network account with my Mac account. The main reason for this is wanting to log into my admin account on the Mac, and have it also log into my network account so I do not have to log into differing accounts depending on wether I am on the network or not. And I am going to be running VMware fusion with windows on top, so having one account would be essential to this.
    Thanks.
    P.S. I am brand new to Apple, not by choice. ;-)

    Basically I want to link a network account to a local account, so that I always log into the same account, even if I do not have network access....

  • Trying to figure out how to get custom quiz concept to work

    OK so I've been trying to get this concept to work in CP4. I have simulation quiz questions that gives the user 2 attempts to answer the quiz. The one hitch is that if the user get the question wrong the first time it gives them an "incorrect try again" message and if they get it wrong the second time it gives them an "incorrect please review section...." message. Now I've been trying to get this to work many ways and haven't been able to get the quiz to score right due to the fact I can't get CP to let me use the multiple incorrect feedbacks in a single click box.
    I've tried setting up the questions using 2 click boxes (each click box has a different incorrect feedback message) but I run into the issue of if I answer the question right the first time then the second click box goes unscored and throws off the percentage.  I've been trying to figure out a way to manipulate the captivate system variables (cpinfoquizpasspoints, cpinfototalquestionsperproject, cpinfopointsscored) but I can't for the life of me figure out how to update the variables (ex. overide the cpinfototalquestionsperproject with my own number or add additional points to the cpinfopointsscored variable if the user gets the question right the first time. Basically I need to fig out a way to get this to work and ultimately be able to communicate to a Sumtotal LMS what the results are. I'm very open to suggestions 
    Thanks
    B
    btw. I'm really disappointed that CP4 allows different feedback messages on multiple attmeps for their built in questions but not for custom click box questions!!!!

    I would try the multi choice like captiv8r said. if that doesn't work try a clickbox for each answer and:
    Some quick notes for set up. Slide XX represents the slide that will contain the next question in the quiz. You may want to create all the slides (even if they are blank) as place holders for each question in the quiz. So if a question has 4 possible answers that's gonna be 4 slides for that question. If you have 5 questions and they all have 5 answers then you want to create 25 slides for the questions. (I think I did the math right on that )
    Change the properties for the click box to on success: go to next slide (unless this is the correct answer then select jump to slide XX). Change the options
    Under Options Only check Success Caption, Pause project until user clicks and pause for success/failure captions.
    Click OK......You will be given a click box with a green box that says type success  text here.
    Right click on the green box and select Properties
    If this box is the right answer type in Correct or something to that extent. If its the wrong answer type in "Answer is wrong because ..bla bla bla..... reasons". You can format the font to be red or green and choose the appropiate caption type to match your color scheme (or create your own custom caption)
    Click OK.
    After that all you have to do is duplicate the click box (right click on the click box and select duplicate) and edit the caption to be either "correct" or "answer is wrong because....."
    Once you have all your captions in place you can copy the entire contents of the slide an paste it into the rest of the slides set up for that question (remember if the question has 4 answers then thats 4 slides for that question)
    repeat steps 1 - 9 for the rest of the questions.
    Some things you want to consider. If you only want to give the user say 2 attempts per question then you want to modify the setup to only 2 slides per question. That way if they get it wrong on teh second attempt they are advanced to the next question. If you are scoring this quiz you will have to set-up some variables for scoring.
    The method above is what I used to answer my own question from the original post.... Lots of work but it got the job done! Good luck.

  • I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    Firstly iWeb CAN'T IMPORT any kind of published html code as it has no import facility.  You can however add html code, javascript and css by selecting the html snippet and placing it on your page the entering the code in here and clicking on Apply.  You DO NOT create a shape as you say - you use the html snippet and place your code in there.
    There are not really a lot of ways in which you can write code - if you want to enter small amounts of code, then you would use an ordinary text editor to do this such as Text Edit on a Mac or Text Wrangler.  If you want to add code to iWeb like this, then you would either use the html snippet method in iWeb itself or you would have to publish the site to a local folder from iWeb and open the relevant html page with a text editor and add the additional code in this way and then publish.  However, if he decided to add the code with a text editor, then you would have to upload the pages directly to the server using an ftp client - if you try to upload the site directly from iWeb, all the extra code will be overwritten.
    As for checking whether the site was created using iWeb, all you need do is view the site in Safari and then click on View and then select View Source Code and it will tell you.
    Even thoough extra code was added to the site and he might well have done this by publishing to a local folder and adding the code with a text editor, he should still have the domain file for the site too.
    Ask again.  I'm sure that for adding quick code, most would not want to use programmes such as Dreamweaver, but a simple text editor will suffice.  As OT already said, if he claims that he does not have the domain.sites file, then try Flux 4 which is a web design programme and has full import facilities.  At least this way, if he just gives you the published version of the site, you have some way of opening it.
    You can download a free trial of Flux 4 and you can also purchase the full version from the Mac App Store if you decide you like it.

  • From the US but in France these days trying to figure out how to get case

    I have an iPhone 4, and I got the email about being eligible for the case. I am from the US, and I am now in France for a bit for work. I am trying to figure out how I could get my case shipped to me here instead of back home, since I will not be back there until December at the earliest. I downloaded the app and it will ship to my US address by default, and I am not interested in changing that because I want to still be part of the US zone.
    If someone from Apple could help and tell me what to do it would be great. I could not find the right department that could have answered this question when I looked on the support page.
    Thanks.

    These are user forums - Apple will not respond to you here.
    Call customer service with the order number and tell them that you need to change the ship to address ... they should be able to do that or you...

  • I'm trying to figure out how to add my music to my iTunes Library..?

    I have an iPod Classic, almost full of music... I'm trying to figure out how to add my music to my iTunes Library (so I can then sync with my iPhone). When I try to sync, it gives me an alert: Are you sure you want to sync? All existing content will be removed and replaced with songs from your iTunes Library. How can I add my songs? I don't mind backing my files up and restoring my iPod, but I can't even find how to do that. Please help?! Thanks.

    Are you using Mac or Windows?
    With Mac you can click file on the top left, on the dropdown box 'Add to Library...'
    With Windows you could have the folder with the music in open, and simply drag it into iTunes.
    Or simply stick the CD into the computer and let it do it's work
    If you want to backup, it should already do it for you, then once your iPod has been restored it lets you choose from the backups that iTunes has created. That's just me though it may not be the case for you.

  • Most of my my target audience are not familiar with iTunes, so I am trying to figure out how to explain how to rate it. What's the fastest way to say it to the iTunes-newbie?

    Most of my my target audience are not familiar with iTunes, so I am trying to figure out how to explain how to rate it. Is this the shortest way? “Open iTunes on your computer, click on iTunes Store and search for my podcast. You’ll see it at the top of the results. When you click on it, you’ll see “Write a Review” and will be able to submit your comments and ratings.” Right now they find my podcast because they are on my mailing list, not through iTunes. It would be easy if I could just say, "Go to iTunes.com" or "Go to my web site" - but there are sooooo many steps! Help! Thank you,
    Milana

    There is another trick - if you give them this URL:
    itpc://feeds.feedburner.com/RecurringRevenueRevolutionPodcast
    (note itpc not http)
    it will subscribe them directly to your feed in iTunes, but it does depend on their having iTunes installed (and in Windows set as the application to use with 'itpc'), otherwise they will get an error message, so it's a slightly double-edged weapon. You could them the link and say 'subscribe in iTunes' as an alternative to the iTunes Store page.

  • I am trying to figure out how I can get my library transferred to the Honda Accord 16gb hard drive?  I have purchased music of off I tunes and do not have the physical CD.  Anybody with any suggestions on how this can be done?

    I am trying to figure out how I can transfer my library to my new 2014 honda accord that has an internal 16gb hard drive.  The manual for the car says that it needs to be original CD's but I have purchased alot of the albums/songs I have from I tunes therefore not having the original CD.  Can someone help me with this as I dont want to load each CD into the player to record and have some albums that I purchased off of I tunes that I would like to be on the hard drive.

    If Honda says you need the original CDs, you need the original CDs.

  • I recently set up multiple accounts and when I was trying to figure out how to share files I messed up something in my documents. Everytime I open a doc from the ADMIN account, a box pops up that says "The file is not in the correct format" how to fix?

    I recently set up multiple accounts on my imac, When I was trying to figure out how to share the documents I must have done something wrong. When logged into the Admin account, I open up any document and I get a message box that says, "The Document could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format." What did I do and how do I fix it?

    Without knowing what you did it is impossible to give advice on how to correct it.
    If these were files you copied over from some other system then just Re-Copy them replacing the ones that are corrupted.
    Other then that I suggest you Wipe the drive and start over with a clean reinstall of the OS and programs. Then if you want to share files to All Accounts place those files in a folder in the ROOT of the drive.
