I have 1Mac computer running Lion. Can I set up 'find my iPhone' and 'find my iPad' if both those devices use different Apple ID's than the Mac does? As in can I set up 'find device' for my husband's iPhone and my daughters iPad?

No, but you can log into any of their accounts on your computer at iCloud.com and see their devices.

help! My son updated to Ios7 and my contacts were replaced for his? I was told to sync with my computer and they had already changed on it too? I need my contacts!
Check to see if they are on your calendar on icloud.com. If they aren't, all you can do is try to restore to your last backup, although it isn't clear that calendar events are included in the iCloud backup.

Do you need to have a Computer running Lion to keep your me account on your iPhone
Just thought I would ask, because if I can that is where I want to stay and not go to Lion until I find a better alternative to syncing my computers and contacts

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with Importing Pictures onto my Mac mini with Lion installed by using a Card Reader,
What is the problem here so I can get Pictures onto my Computer. ,Hi Noob Søren
There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
Hope this helps

I have 2T imac running lion Can I re-partition and use one half as a back up disk?
Bought a new mac in November and it is refused to start up yesterday. Spoke with Apple and they said I should make sure I do regular back ups in case I l ose my hard drive?!?! I did a clean install of the Operating software but was advised to erase and install.
I have taken all my important stuff off and can reinstall my programs once I get to the next stage so what I am wondering is
I have 2T imac running lion Can I re-partition and use one half as a back up disk for use with time machine so that I do not have to buy an external HD?
Cheers JYou could partition the drive, I read that Time Machine will work on if you HD partition.
BUT, it will do you no good if you HD fails.
Usually, if a HD fails it's the entire drive that is dead not just a partition.
So your time machine back would be on a dead disk, useless! -
I bought a new computer running Lion 10.7.3 and transferred my applications and files from my old Mac using migration assistant but I can't find/transfer my photos from iPhoto and I can't find my old documents such as previous tax returns.
Look for them on your old computer, when found copy the files to a USB drive and move them to the new computer.

HT1420 Can you have more than one device with a different Apple ID authourized to the same computer
Can you have more than one device with a different Apple ID authourized to the same computer
I think you are using the same Composition Class on both project. On the properties tab, you can change this number (e.g.: EDGE-1637270).

Hello Everyone,
I have a MacBook older model with me.I am running 10.7.6 on that, I was trying to use BootCamp to install windows on my mac. Since BootCamp can only work on a single Volume, I partitioned my Hard Disk to one volume.
Using BootCamp I installed windows and everything worked fine. After installing windows and testing everything, I switched back to OS X and this time I tried to make another partition on my single portioned Mac volume and named it Backup. That too worked. Now I have three Volumes
1)Development2)Backup3)BootCamp.
Next when I switched to Windows, It should the classic error, No Bootable device found, please insert a Bootable CD and press any key. When I tried to enter my Mac OS X install DVD and by pressing option key, it does not show me the proper Mac OS X development volume. It keeps going back to the No bootable device found message.
Any help will be much appreciated
Regards
Mithunyou can't add a partition in between - you put Windows to a new partition number.
GPT (GUID)
EFI
Mac HFS
Lion Recovery
Windows
And now you have two HFS
One partition and one Windows (plus Lion Recovery).
If you were to have more, it can't be before Windows for one thing. -
A family member recently downloaded an iBook on my device using their apple I'd. Now I don't have access to the material I've purchased using my apple I'd for 90 days! So frustrated! Any tips? ITunes won't allow me to download the books I've paid for!!
That wasn't something that I was aware of, but looking at this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 I'm not sure that there is much you can do about the device itself. I'm also not sure whether it only affects downloading directly on the device itself or whether you can connect the iPad to your computer and sync content across to it from your account that way - or even whether restoring back to factory defaults on the iPad will bypass the 90 days

Hello!
Can I search or locate different iphone devices using one apple I.D.?
Thanks!You can only use Find My iPhone for accounts that you can log into. If you and your neighbor have different IDs and you only know your ID, than you can only track devices attached to your account.

accidentally removed from,sharing and permissions the admin user,and now i do not when i find the home icon at my computer i do not have permmission,and the mac does not works properly,lots of question mark at the dock ,please help
I'm going to assume that since you deleted your hard drive and all its files, you had a backup, yes? If the backup has an OS (bootable clone), then you can boot into it by holding down the option key when you start up you iMac and choose the backup drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to copy the files back to your iMac.

HT204053 Can you sync pages files on different devices with different apple ids?
Can you sync pages files on different devices with different apple ids? I have a personal iPad and one given to me for work. They are set up with two different apple IDs. I do all of my lesson plans in pages. I want to be able to create plans on both devices, but need to know if there is a way to sync the files without emailing, etc.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, that's not possible. A better way of working around this than emailing the documents to yourself is to use a third party storage solution such as Dropbox and a webDAV server to upload the documents. -
I have WRT54G v3. Have new computer running vista -- cha...
I have WRT54G v3. Have new computer running vista -- changed WEP security to WPA. New computer works fine.
Went to use my laptop today and even though it shows a WPA secured connection and says I'm connected -- I can't get on-line. Laptop uses WIN XP. New computer and older wired desktop connecting fine.
What do I need to do to make hp laptop & new hp compatible?
ThanksI followed directions for Nortons firewall -- I also downloaded Network Magic.
Last night I ran ipconfig on both computers and didn't change anything but they both came on-line. Not sure what or why but they were at least working.
Just now I followed directions for Nortons firewall on new computer which has 2008 I believe........then downloaded Network Magic and installed on both PC & laptop.
The only difference is the version of Norton which os '05 on the laptop. I see a secure connection - WPA - on both computers.
New question: I have a 3rd computer, an older PC which is connected direct to the router. This is primarily for my husband to use for e-mail and browsing the web -- no need to share any files and it has a separate printer. Should I also run Network Magic on that computer or leave it as is?
Thanks so much to both of you. I was up till late worrying about this.
