I have an apple Ipad, and so does my wife. I thought that it would be simple to use my ID on her Ipad. Did I mess up or what?
My wife and I both have Ipads, I thought it might be allright to use the same apple ID on both. I got an email from Apple, asking to confirm the email user name. Several months ago I received an email supposedly from Microsoft asking for my name and password to our hotmail account. The email had the Microsoft logo and it looked legitimate, so I did it. The next day, all our contacs were notified that my wife was stranded in a foreign country and needed money. When I addad my wife's Ipad to our account with the sdame apple ID as mine, I got an email from apple, asking to verify the ID. apple logo and all. It looked weak to me. Should I do it?
You never reply directly from an e-mail about username or password.
Best you change your password for the hotmail account. Don't get scam.
If in doubt, always go to the website directly with the correct web address.
You can check your Apple ID it here:

My sons ipad2 is stuck in recovery mode. The only option on I tunes if to restore the iPad. However, he does not want to restore it and lose all of his things on the iPad.
Does he have a backup on his computer or iCloud?
You can redownload apps/music etc for free.

I want to use Firefox for a specific webpage and Safari for the rest of my browsing. I have an Apple macbook and am very new to Firefox
I thought my response was clear, but to reiterate:
1. 10.5.1.42
2. None, nada, zero, zilch. I have no iPhone account with any carrier. There is a deactivated ATT sim card in the3 phone. Someone gave it to me. I only want to use it as an iPod Touch.
3. PC with Windows 7 (I can offer more detailed info, but I am not sure how that would help.
I had already read that link. Reset did not resolve (both hard and soft) -
My sister gave me her old iphone. I have the apple id and password, but where do I find that in the phone? Do I need to reset the phone before I deactivate her account and set up mine?

Apple TV does not recognize my Apple account username (email) and password, but iTunes, my iPad and iPhone does. I have rest my password three times, same results.
ATV says my computer is not authorized, but i-Tunes says it is.
I have i-Tunes open on my computer and have entered i-Tunes store, ATV says it can't access the store. Both on the same network!
I am so frustrated with this system! All these problems with Apple TV are not the end but the beginning.
In i-Tunes, songs are lost when they have not been moved. I lose whole albums I have ripped from CDs to iTunes
An audiobook book in two files are in the library but only one file is recognized by iTunes when I try to play it or transfer it to my iPhoneI Am having the same issue. Ie on the password issue.
I Am using a Macpro though.
i Have had no issues with the setup until recently.
However I think the hard drive is starting to fail as it keeps on losing the wireless connection and gas been stuttering a lot on playback. -
Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjust, please let me know.
Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails. -
i plugged my iphone in for the first time to my itunes account and it now reads that this device is already associated with an apple id. what does that mean. i only have one apple id. and do i chose cancel or transfer?
Hello there, Shellywms09.
The following Knowledge Base article points out why you are receiving that message on your iPad:

How can I get all the stuff from my old iPad 2 to my new iPad 2? I have an apple id and have synced and backed up my old iPad 2 regularly.
Sky is right you can restore the old backup and it will not affect the old iPad
To make sure do this:
1. If you have the old one then just turn off wi-fi and the iPad (that's just for your peace of mind)
2. Put new iPad on airplane mode (just for no interruptions )
3. Connect it (while it's on, don't shut it down)
4. Follow prompts and when it asks if you want to setup as new or restore CHOOSE: RESTORE
5. It will make its magic (just wait for it to sync, restarts, and finishes) it might ask you to update software if it does just accept
6. You can rename your new iPad like that you can have a fresh back up
7. ENJOY your new iPad
----------OR-----------
1. Do the above steps 1, 2, 3.
2. On step 4 you can choose to set up as new
3. Then you can choose what to sync on it (click on iPad on the left panel then the tabs on top you choose what you want on it (you can also do that if you restore)
4. Follow steps 5, 6, 7.
****If you don't have your old iPad you can remove it from your account ****
****Also when they sync it to a new computer it will setup as new unless they had an old one then they will restore it their old one****
****if you have it connected with your MobileMe or iCloud and you have the find my _____ you can also wipe it as soon as it comes online****
LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
AGAIN ENJOY YOUR NEW IPAD!!! -
I have an Apple ID and use I Cloud with my Ipad and Iphone. I am trying to publish a website from my macbook but my user name and password is not recognised when I try?

The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 - earlier systems don't show the iCloud preference pane. If you want to use iCloud you will have to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion (assuming your computer meets their requirements) but even so you won't be able to publish web pages to iCloud because it does not provide web hosting. This page examines that situation in more detail:

I have different apple ids for my ipad and iphone - how do i sync so that the apps appear on both devices, e.g errands
If both accounts are authorised on the computer's iTunes that you sync them to, and the relevant apps are on that computer, then you should be able to sync them to both devices. The apps will be tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so only that account will be able to download updates to them.
If you log into the other account on a device and re-download its apps onto them then you risk tying the device to that account for 90 days (and similarly redownloading on a computer's iTunes) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 -
I have two apple accounts and one of which has my music on. I would like to move this music to the other account. Is there a simple way of doing this?
There is currently no way to merge accounts. The best option is to pick one, and use it consistantly.

I have 2 apple ID and I need to get rid of one to use icloud on my iphone and my ipad. Any suggestion?
Hi Pierre,
There's no way to merge them yet, so all you can do now is make 1 of them the master ID for iCloud. You have to continue to use the other for previous iTunes, Mac App Store updates. Have you read:

I have an Apple Macbook and will be backing up the entire system in order to upgrade to a newer OS. I will be using an external hard drive to do this and there is already data on it. To complete the backup, i will be using the Time Machine application. Does this application wipe out all of the existing data on the external hard drive, or will it create a new "folder" for the backup?
thank youNo, but as steve359 states you should use a dedicated hard drive for backups. It you need a temporary backup then you can use the drive provided it has sufficient space for all your data on the hard drive.
When Time Machine finds that the drive has data on it already it may decide to erase the drive before continuing, which is another reason to use a dedicated drive.
