I have 1 iphone (work), 1 ipad (personal), 2 itunes accounts (1 personal, 1 work), and 2 computers (1 personal-mac, 1 work-pc), how do/can I use stuff from both accounts on the iphone and ipad?

any suggestions would be most appreciated!

Yes!
Luckily, if you be very careful and pay attention to what you have selected in itunes, you can separate these things
Basically, in iTunes, there are tabs at the top for Summary, info, apps, etc..
These tabs control PER DEVICE what syncs between itunes and the device.
Therefore, you can plug iPhone 4S #1 in, and select to sync contacts with address book, then do so. Then plug iPhone 4S #2 in, and not choose to sync with address book. iTunes will keep these settings separate. However, in that situation for music and apps, you would check to sync both on both, in order to get all music and apps on each.
The only thing to watch out for, each computer 'user' has only one set of address book and ical, meaning that if you want to sync both phones to the computer, but dont want to mix contacts, only one phone will be able to sync contacts and/or calendars. Basically, each category in the Info tab will only hold one device's information, so you CAN do contacts with iPhone 4S #1, and calendars with #2.

Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

The short answer is yes.
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
Open Image Capture application.
Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

Yes, but the TC has no auto backup and TM cannot backup a network drive. Any files you put out there.. are like on the end of rickety pier.. in a storm. One day the whole thing will fall into the sea.

Two separate Apple accounts for iPhone but one iPad - can we get apps from both accounts to iPad?

My wife and I have our own apple accounts (for our iphones) but share (or fight really!) over the only iPad.
Is it possible to download Apps from both our accounts onto the Ipad, or would this violate the T&C and so not possible?
Any thoughts most welcome.
cheers.

It doesn't violate any terms and conditions, but if you associate the iPad with another Apple ID by downloading any past purchases using that other ID, you lock yourself out of the first ID for 90 days. You can read this for more information and decide if you want to associate the iPad with another ID.

Can I use my Nationwide Messaging plan for the iPhone 4?

I currently have a plan called Nationwide Messaging (you get unlimited texting and data for $35 a month, and minutes are 40 cents each) which works well for me since I rarely use my phone to talk.
All the iPhone FAQ says is that you need a Nationwide plan, which I have, and a data package, which is already included in my plan. So will this work for the iPhone?

You'd have to upgrade to the smartphone version of that plan for $55/month since the $35 plan is for regular phones and it looks like they're are added requirements to be eligible for that one.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/splash/messagingplans.jsp
"Who is eligible to sign up for the Nationwide Messaging Plan?
In order to establish your eligibility for the Blackberry or PDA Smartphone plan, please bring either a letter indicating that you are hearing impaired on appropriate letter head from your audiologist, hearing health professional, speech or language therapist/specialist, physician, surgeon, vocational rehabilitation agency counselor, teacher or credentialed therapist; or (ii) your membership card for the National Association of the Deaf, Hearing Loss of America, AG Bell, Association of Late Deafened Adults, Telecommunications for the Deaf, Inc or other similar group.

How to force sync Safari Bookmarks from my laptop to the iPhone?

I have "cleansed" and rearranged my Safari Bookmarks on my laptop and would like to have the same structure and set of bookmarks on my iPhone, but syncing apparently does not change the bookmarks on the iPhone.??? I am puzzled. What do I do wrong?
How can I delete all bookmarks on the iPhone and force a synchronisation with the laptop? (In System Preferences>Mobile Me the Safari Bookmarks are checked).
thanks in advance for any pointers/ suggestions/solutions.
Cheers,
Veit

Thanks a lot for your instant response. I am now in iTunes>Info>Advanced, but there the only options after Replace Info on the iPhone is Mail Accounts and that is greyed out. The Web Browser heading above the Advanced heading says: Your bookmarks are being synced with iPhone over the air from MobileMe. Over the air syncing settings can be changed on your iPhone.
But on the iPhone I don't find where to change these settings. Any suggestions?
Thanks a million.

I can't use FaceTime from my macbook to my iPhone?

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone is able to come up with an easy solution to my problem. I recently bought a Macbook pro and registered my Apple Id, iCloud etc. on it, it all worked fine and I could use Facetime to other users. Today I then got an iPhone 4S and when registering it I used the same Apple Id and also password. It soon set things up on the phone, however I could not use facetime to our Macbook or to others. At the same time I could no longer use the facetime app on the Macbook. I can understand that I might not be able to register to Apple products with the same Id etc. and be able to connect between them, but does anyone know a simple solution to this. Can I set up a second Apple Id for the Phone and then use facetime between them?
I look forward to hear from anyone who's more into their Apple products than me ;0)
Many thanks,
Anheja

Can content be loaded from one PC into the iCloud and then accessed on another (new) PC?

Can content that's loaded into the iCloud on one PC be accessed from the iCloud on another (new) PC?

I think you have a few of options…
Sign up for iTunes Match
https://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
That will allow you to use iCloud to 'match' then download all the songs that are in your library, it will try to replace songs that are available in the iTunes store, or it will copy the files into your iCloud account. This may take a while depending on your internet connection speed. Also see the limitations (like the 25,000 song limit).
Copy the songs over to the new machine
If you create a playlist in iTunes with all the relevant songs you should be able to drag them into a folder on another disk. This can be an USB drive or it could be the other computer (if you can setup how to share the disk & mount it on your old PC).
You can then drag the folder of files into the iTunes Library on the other machine. That will copy all the files, however it will not create the playlists or the restore the play count's etc. It's safest to quit iTunes, open the "Automatically add to iTunes folder" in the media library and drop your files into that folder, then iTunes should import them all for you.
iTunes 9: Understanding the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder.
Move everything to the new PC
The final option would be to move all of the iTunes files & the library files to the new PC.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer (see the 'external drive' section)
This may not be an option if you have important media in both libraries because it replaces the entire iTunes library.
Also don't forget to deauthorise the old PC if you don't want to use it with iTunes anymore, it's also on that last page I linked.

I have 2 iPhones, from different carries and different numbers. Both with different apple ids and somehow I can still texts sent from both phones to other iPhones and I don't know how to fix it.

I had an iPhone from Verizon, and i got another iPhone from us cellular. I'm giving my old iPhone to my friend, and somehow we can both see each other's messages sent to other iPhones. Both have different apple ids and numbers. How do I fix this?

You probably activated the new phone will the old phone was still active. That would have linked the two numbers to iMessage. Go into iMessage and turn them off on each phone. Then turn iMessage on for your phone. When it activates, go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and see what numbers/email addresses are linked there. It should just be the current phone number and if desired, your Apple ID email address.
Then have the other person turn their iMessage back on and when it activates see if it now only brings their current phone number and again if desired Apple ID email address.
