I can home share my computers but apple tv wont accept my id and password
I have confirmed the network connection on ATV but cannot get it to accept my Apple ID and password. Restarted, unplugged, etc.
To Lennonsan20 - or anyone who can opine:
I have never had an ITunes login - only an AppleID. I used to be able to use home sharing (10.8) for the purposes of running a screen saver through Photo Stream. When I got up to put my Boy to bed for the night tonight, the ATV went into a screen saver mode. However, it was only black screen. I began to poke around and the ATV had my Lady's ID stored into the ATV file share so I loged her out.
When I tried to login to Photo Stream using my Apple ID it said that my password was inncorrect so, while sitting in my recliner I immediately went to AppleID.Apple.com and logged into my ID page with the exact info I put into the ATV. Why does the ATV not recognize my AppleID? Especially snce I cannot recall ever using ITunes as I do not have any music, nor do I even like any music?

My iphone keeps forgetting my password. I have changed it, again, but am being asked for a 'rescue email address' which is different from the only one I use/have. What is a 'rescue email address' and how do I get one please?
Apple says that the rescue email address "...allows us to get in touch should any account questions come up, such as the need to reset your password or change your security questions". You can sign up fo a free gmail address here: http://mail.google.com/mail/help/open.html.

I can home share music no problem, but it won't transfer the audio books on to the other pc?? How do I do that please?
What is the original source for these audiobooks? In other words where were they originally downloaded or ripped from? What format are these audiobooks in?
Why can't you copy them over to the other PC using Home Sharing?

Can I share books purchased from Apple with other IPad users
Can I share books purchased from Apple with other IPad users
You can share them this way:
Suppose you and the person you're trying to share with (I'll call her Jane) have two separate computers with two separate Apple IDs. Each of those two computers have a current version of iTunes.
You could copy your book from your version of iTunes over to Jane's. How you do that depends on what types of computers you have, etc.
So now your book is sitting in Jane's iTunes. But you own the book, so Jane cannot access it. What you have to do, then, is authorize Jane to access the book you bought.
You do that on Jane's computer in iTunes by going to Store > Authorize This Computer in iTunes' menu. Enter your Apple ID and password there.
Then once Jane syncs her iPad to her iTunes, she will have access to your book. -
Can you share music between 2 Apple ID's on the same network?
Can you share music between 2 Apple ID's on the same network?
Welcome to the Apple community.
You can share content between 2 libraries that have different ID's for the iTunes Store, yes.
You need to make sure that both libraries are using the same ID for home sharing though (from the File menu) -
i need to add a new computer and take off a old one but can't find the site or place to turn it off i can only have two computers but i got three please help let me know where to go to shut one off to put the new one on?
Hello,
the way is written there Activation & deactivation help >>> (see there only to understand the procedure) Common activation problems >>> "Activation limit reached for [product]. This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." "Maximum activations exceeded."
>>> How to deactivate or sign out >>> A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.

Can you share iTunes music w/Apple TV and Airport Express?
Can you share iTunes music between Apple TV and Airport Express?
I have been very happily using 2 Airport expresses to share my itunes library from my iMac to 2 other rooms. I just bought an Apple TV for the bedroom (and I ASSUMED to replace the Airport Express), and can not figure out any possible way to have the same music in 3 rooms any more.
Anybody have any ideas?I think you may have misunderstood the OP, I believe they wish to be able to walk from room to room and listen to the same music over the tv and the express. itunes will send music to the tv and the express at the same time but in two different streams, so even if you chose the same music over each device it would be quite difficult to sync.

My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?
A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however. -
How can I share my schedule information with my wife on her accounts and devices?
My wife and I have separate accounts in our MacMini and MacBook. We each have an iPhone. She uses GMail. I use Mac Mail. How can I share my schedule information with my wife on her accounts and devices?
It is not advisable to follow the above suggested method. The following will do what you want without complications.
1. On your Mac, go to http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479 and follow the instructions to share a calendar privately. If you have more than one calendar you want to share you will have to do each individually. You can choose whether she is able to edit it or whether it should be read-only.
2. If your wife does not have an iCloud account she will need to obtain one. When you share a calendar and nominate her to access it she will receive and email. All she has to do is to open the email and click 'Join Calendar'. This will add the calendar to her Calendar app on all devices and on icloud.com without affecting any other data. Again, this will have to be done individually if more than one calendar is involved. -

Hi. My ex girlfriend used her apple id and icloud to register my iphone. and now i want to sell my phone to someone but i cant reset all the contents and password because i dont know my ex password. we dont have anymore communication right now. please help. thnx
No one here can help you, nor can/will Apple. Unless you can get that info, you won't be able to restore the phone, to sell it, or re-activate it.
You need to somehow get back in touch with your girlfriend & obtain this info, or all you'll own is a paperweight. -
I have an icloud account which I can access via the web but when I go to systems preferences and click on the icloud it sends me to the mobileme closed site?? How do I get it to go to my icloud log in?
You're saying that when you click on the iCloud preference pane button it sends you to the defunct MMe
rather than giving you this?
Is your profile up to date, i.e. are your running 10.7.5? Make sure you click on the iCloud button and not the MMe button.

Why does the apps store not accept my ID and password, it works fine to log into this forum and it works for the apple store, but not to log in to buy apps, it just keeps telling me that the id or password is wrong, and I know it isn't
I Just signed in to find the answer to this too. I started having the same trouble today.

I am trying to create a new Apple password but Apple doe not recognize my one and only email address, so I'm stuck on this merry-go-round. Any suggestions?
inabird
you haven't told us what "Park" the "merry-go-round" is in
tell us what actions you take to get Apple not to recognize your email address...
Are you formatting it correctly? - username @ someDomain .com <- NO Spaces (I did it so the system wouldn't make an email link out of it)
Tell us what happens when you realize that Apple is "not recognizing" your email. What message do you get, exactly? Take screenshot of the entire screen for context
