I have an itunes acct - with my iphone and ipad linked. Also my daughter has an ipod -so I orignally linked it to my acct and it identified it as MY ipod.
I now want to open a separate acct for my daughter - can this be done on the same PC/laptop and then change her ipod over to her acct ?
Sure.

It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

To use iCloud your iPhones and your Macs should all be signed into the same account, what are you trying to achieve.?

I just got uverse, and when I put my Airport Base Station in Bridge mode I lose access to the 4 airport express stations I have. Can anyone tell me how to turn off the u-verse wireless, set up a network with all the apple stations and still have wireless u-verse tv boxes work? Thanks!
Can I relocate the airport base station to downstairs and connect it to the Sawtooth there for receiving wireless from the Verizon router and broadcast further to its wireless network?
Sorry but no the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) will not wirelessly connect to the network provided by the Verizon FiOS router.
What you could do is get another AEBS, an AX, or a Time Capsule and place that downstairs. Then use that device to wirelessly connect to the wireless network provided by your current AEBS. If your current AEBS is not 802.11n capable then you would need to use WDS to make this happen. One bad thing about WDS is that each WDS link cuts your affective wireless bandwidth in half. -
Can I upgrade to OS 10.5 with this computer and still use OS 9 and more?
I am NO computer expert, so, I'm wondering if:
1. Can I upgrade to OS 10.5 (currently using OS 10.3.9) with G4 computer using 450 MHz processor?
2. Can I still use my old programs (ie Claris 4.0) that switch over to the OS 9 system?
3. Will this upgrade my Safari so it doesn't quit when I try to make a simple reservation on the Holiday Inn website?
Or, is this just too old and obsolete and I need to get a new computer? I do not do complicated projects with lots of graphics. So far, I'm not having any trouble using my Kodak EasyShare digital camera with the computer. It's just that Safari that gives me trouble.
Any advice (upgrade vs new) will be appreciated.Hi, lwbusdrvr. Leopard requires at least an 867MHz G4 processor. Yours is barely half that fast. Tiger would run on your computer, and it supports Classic and the current version of Safari.
But the simplest thing for you to do would be to download the free Camino 1.6.4 or Firefox 2.0.0.17 and use it instead of Safari, without needing to upgrade your OS at all. For links to downloads for each, see my post here. -

I am trying to use FaceTime and the iPad won't let met activate with my Apple ID. I have reset the network connection and that did not help.
It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

How do I attach a file to mac mail without it going into the body of the email?
To add to what Kappy said, note that you really can't control how some other mail client might display an attachment. Some may display them inline, while others may require them to be opened separately. And different people have different desires in this area... some want a PDF file, for example, displayed inline, while others prefer for it not to be. Just attach the file(s) and don't worry about this so much.
Also, I do have to disagree with Kappy on one point... I would not say that you "should" compress files and attach the compressed archive file. That will force all mail clients not to display the attachment inline, but not everyone will want that (you'd be forcing your tastes on all recipients of your e-mail), and some people have difficulty figuring out how to open and view the contents of compressed files. It's an extra step for you and an extra step for the recipient, and is not needed for most popular file types. (Of course, we could advise you more specifically if we knew what file types you're dealing with.) -
My wife and I both have the iphone and we use my macbook pro with iTunes to sync our ipods. When I do something on my iPhone it shows on hers. How do I set up her a seperate iTunes acct on my mac so she can operate independent of me?
There's info here on setting up separate libraries and user accounts. You won't have to reload (or re-import) all the music, just copy it.
The reason I suggest separate accounts on the Mac is because if you have the two libraries under the same user account, iTunes will also open the last library that was open in that account, and you'll always have to be mindful of which library that is. If you open iTunes and find it's not your library, you'll have quit, relaunch holding the option key and select the other library.
No, you won't have to log in and out of the Mac. (If I'm understanding your question here.) Multiple accounts can be logged in at the same time. And with fast user switching, you can toggle between user accounts.
I'll admit that maintaining the two libraries gets a little tricky, because if you share all the same music, you'll have to add it to one and update the other. (That won't happen automatically.) But I think Home Sharing makes this much easier to do.
Hope that helps! -
I am using win vista and have installed itunes for my ipod shuffle four years back. now I have purchased iphone 4, and trying to reinstall itunes after uninstalling my earlier itunes i always get a message that error in installation. kindly help
You might find this article helpful: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
It has the error range of 3000's which states
Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes. -
Hello, I have a little problem with my ipod (3rd generation): I restored my iPod because of problems of wi-fi, then synced my music on itunes and then on my ipod. The problem is that I still do not have wi-fi and my ipod says I have no music. Help me!
No. In fact, my ipod detects the livebox and the network but I can not connect to the internet.

Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone sync with my Mac without a problem?
I've had an iPod over a year and have not done much with it except download music onto it from my PC. Just recently have purchased the iPhone. When I got my iPod I didn't have a Mac, but now I do. I am really into my iPhone, so now I want to make sure that I don't do anything wrong. So can I connect my iPhone to both my PC and my Mac without it getting mixed signals and stop working. I have no music on my Mac but plan to download music into iTunes on it. So can I download music from both computers without problems onto my iPhone?StoneMountainGirl,
No. You can only music to your iPhone from one computer at a time. If you try to load music onto it from a 2nd computer, it will erase the current content on the iPhone and replace it with whats in the iTunes library you are connected to,

I have my iPhone setup so I can also get all of the iMessages that my daughter sends and receives on her iPod. The problem is that if I read the message first then it doesn't show up as a new message on her iPod and therefore she doesn't know that a message was sent. Is there a way that I can get my daughter's iMessage on my iPhone and still have it show up on her iPod as an unread message? Any ideas from anyone will help. I can't figure it out
HI,
I am not sure that I can really add anything to to this.
Apple used the phrase "sync" when saying what Messages on the Mac would do in regards to showing iMessages that were going to iOS devices.
It took to OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6 to get as close as we have right now.
At best it looks like "Sync" means "Display on all Devices" and not much more.
The Mac version implies it will do more as there is a setting to notify people by return that you have read the iMessage.
The iOS devices have a similar "Send Receipts" item in the settings.
However actually reading an iMessage on one device seems to bear very little resemblance to anything that happens or can be seen on another device.
It seems for most people reading an iMessage on one device shows nothing at all on another device (the presumption being it arrives all places at the same time)
Your post is the closest I have seen to someone suggesting that it can be different on different devices.
You also seem to be implying that there is almost a time difference it the time your iPhone gets the iMessage and the time the iPod touch gets it.
I have certainly seen the "silent arrival" of iMessages on both my iPhone (when my computer and Messages is On) and on the iPhone if the conversation started on the Mac.
The Mac end will show both "Sent" and Received sides as it "Syncs" the conversation and beeps the alert sound for the Received part and the iPhone will remain silent.
Even "talking it through" like this in this post I am not coming to any real conclusions about what to try.
I am not even sure what to suggest to test for things to look out for.

IPhone question: Im trying to update applications on my iphone. When I do it I'm as for password from a different Apple ID from what I have in Itunes. How do I change so that both are the same?
All apps are tied to the apple id that it was used to purchase or download the app.
did you use a different id to buy the app?
you can change id, settings - appstore - apple id - log out and log in with correct id. -
I have an old (first generation) iMac that I still use sometimes for the applications that are on it. I was using it yesterday and unfortunately had a power cut. I went to turn it on today, and nothing at all happens. It's as though no power is getting to it. I've checked the obvious things, changed the fuse, tried different cables, poked paperclips in reset holes, but nothing doing. I wonder if there is anyone who knows what might be wrong. I was hoping to get some of its content transferred soon, but I'm guessing that can't be done if it can't be started up. Many thanks, if you can help
Hello,
>It's as though no power is getting to it.
Would it be correct to assume that no sounds at all can be heard? Also, no lights, not even green or amber at the power button?
>unfortunately had a power cut.
Was it possibly a power cut in connection with a thunderstorm? Any other evidence of higher than normal voltages (light bulbs, et cetera)? Has the line voltage been checked (measured with an appropriate voltmeter/multimeter)?
If necessary, it would be possible to remove the hard drive, and then connect it to an external IDE/ATA to USB adapter (example below). That way you could gain access to files on the hard disk from another computer.

have removed my pop-up blocker completely and still receive the following error message when attempting to download iTunes: "The file was blocked because it does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher".....any ideas?
That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
