  • HT4993 I have 3 phones under the same apple ID. I  want to remove mine from the same one my kids use. How can I do this but keep their's on the current apple ID?

    I have 3 phones on one apple ID. I want to remove my phone which is the main phone on the acct to it's own apple ID. How can I do that but keep the other 2 on the current ID

    When you connect that iPad to iTUnes, go to the summary page and scroll down, there should be a box saying 'automatically update' or something to that effect. De select that.
    With automatically update on, what you buy on one goes onto the other. but with that box off you can choose.
    On the iPad itself, it's under
    Settings
    iTUnes and App Stores
    and then you can choose what you want automatically updated between the two devices.

  • I had my computer repaired, and when I got it back I had to reinstall iTunes. Now iTunes won't authorize this computer because it says we already have 5 devices authorized, but this is the same computer. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Deauthorizing won't delete anything, and all your purchased content is safe.  You will just have to reauthorize any of the other computers that get deauthorized along with your computers old machine id.
    To get your purchased content back on that computer, just use iTunes to redownload it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US).  Of course, music you ripped from CD or got from another source you'll need to copy those files back over.

  • My iPhone is merging different contacts with the same firstname into one contact. How can i resolve this.

    My Bosses iPhone is merging different contacts with the same firstname into one contact. How can i resolve this? He seems very disturbed and thinks i don't know what i'm doing. I've set up all his devices to sync across and now its messed up on his iPad, and two iPhones.
    E.G Contacts with firstname 'Adams' and different numbers are synced into one account.
    Now i have no clue how many contacts are this way cos he has a huge number of contacts (he's the ceo).
    Please i need a suggestion on how to fix this.
    Thanks for the help.

    Double-click on the name.
    My screen shot shows both devices because I sync wirelessly.  Right now I can change the iPod name but not the iPad name because the iPod is idle while the iPad is syncing.  In another minute or two, I'll be able to change the iPad name.

    "Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage.   You will need to create a separate id for you wife.  OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

  • I just got my Mac and I used my family Apple ID. It had all of my parent's information, I added my e-mail.I wanted to make my own Apple ID, but I couldn't use the same e-mail address again! How do I delete this information so I can make my own Apple ID?

    It is not clear how or where you "added" your email, but you cannot create an Apple ID using an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID.
    If that is what you did, delete that email address from your family's Apple ID. You should be free to create a new one.
    Do all that by starting here: https://appleid.apple.com/
    Select "Manage your Apple ID". Log in with your family's Apple ID and then delete your own email address wherever it appears.
    Save Changes, log out, and create the new one using the same website. This time select "Create an Apple ID".
    Please don't forget your security questions, and be sure to specify a "rescue email address" that is separate from all other Apple IDs. You will avoid so many problems that way...

  • "SOME" devices can resolve the ALIAS (CNAME record) for a device, but not the REAL name (A record) - Why? How do I fix this?

    I'm running the DNS server role on Windows Server 2012 R2 on a physical machine on my home network.
    My AD is configured with a non-registered name - let's say it's "home.acme.ca" and the DNS server is configured to host that zone.  I also configured a 2nd zone in the DNS server called "myinf.acme.ca".  They both run on a physical
    server with an IP of 192.168.1.10
    The DHCP server on my Cable Modem is configured to hand out 192.168.1.10 as the only DNS server to every device on my network.  On my servers (with static IP addresses), 192.168.1.10 is configured as the only DNS server available for them. 
    I took the DNS servers from my Cable Provider and configured a Forwarder on my server to send name resolution requests to them only if my DNS server can not answer the request - basically for any name resolution request that does not end with ".home.acme.ca"
    or ".myinf.acme.ca"
    The "home.acme.ca" zone is populated with 'A' records for all of the physical and virtual servers and PC's on my network.
    The "myfin.acme.ca" zone is populated with 'CNAME' records that point directly to the 'A' record in "home.acme.ca" - for example, I have a serve named s000abc123ww.home.acme.ca with an 'A' record providing an IP address of 192.168.1.20 and
    I created a 'CNAME' (alias) record named 'webserver.myinf.acme.ca' which points to the 'A' record 's000abc123ww.home.acme.ca'
    2 of my 6 machines can resolve the alias but not the real name of the server!
    .10 is the Domain Controller.  All of the other machines (except .98) are members of the home.acme.ca domain.
    I attempted to ping 's000abc123ww.home.acme.ca' AND 'webserver.myinf.acme.ca' on the following 6 computers.  I used the fully qualified name in all cases.
    4 of the below machines are able to resolve BOTH names.  The other 2 can resolve the Alias but not the real name!
    I don't understand how this is possible, but I would like to fix it...!!!  Please help?
    .10 - Server 2012 R2 (Physical) -  Hosts Active Directory and DNS.
    .20 - Server 2012 R2 (Virtual)   -  Runs SQL Server
    .21 - Server 2012 R2 (Virtual)   -  Runs Apache
    .22 - Server 2012 R2 (Virtual)  -   Runs Apache.  This is the device I am trying to ping (s000abc123ww)
    .98 - Windows 7 (Physical)
    .99 - Windows 7  (Virtual)
    .21 (which is configured nearly identically to .20 and .22) can resolve and ping the Alias, but not the real name.
    .98 can also resolve and ping the Alias, but not the real name.
    The rest of the machines can resolve and ping both the alias and the real name.
    All of the Virtual Machines are running under Hyper-V on the .10 physical server.
    All the devices are on the same subnet.
    Thank in advance to anyone who can help me understand and correct this problem!

    Hi,
    CNAME resource records are recommended for use in the following scenarios:
    • When a host that is specified in an A resource record in the
    same zone needs to be renamed
    • When a generic name for a well-known server, such as www, must resolve to a group of individual computers (each with individual A resource records) that provide the same
    service, for example, a group of redundant Web servers
    Therefore please try to create your CNNAM record in the same zone and try again.

  • When ever i go to watch videos on youtube or any other apps, the screen goes black. you can hear the video but you cant see anything. how do i fix this?

    i have an ipod tough 3g and its like about 4 to 5 years old it works perfectly fine except the home button is abit messed up and the ipod sometimes crashes. but other than that everything is fine. so i was watching something on an app and then al of a sudden i dont see the video i can just hear it. i then think its just the app but when i go on youtube the same exact thing happens. you click to watch a video and you can hear it perfectly but you cant see anything. the screen is just black when u ONLY watch a video. this happened last night so yea.i really hope somebody can help me figure out how to fix this and whats wrongwith it:)
                                                                                                                         thanks for your time and help!

    When it goes black do a very short press of the button on the right upper side of the phone and the screen will reappear.  Make it a very short quick press.
    OTOH, if you are using the speaker so you can watch the screen as you are talking when it goes dim touch the screen anywhere that it is blank and it will again go bright.  On long calls you have to repeat this.
    Many folks have had the same problem you described and what I have told you is the best and ONLY way around the screen going blank during a call.

  • I just downloaded the latest software to my iPhone 4 and I am now getting my sons messages.  he too uses the same itunes and pc to sync, how do I stop this?

    Hi, I downloaded the latest software for my iphone 4 and this morning I received text messages that were meant for my son.  we both use the same PC and iTunes for our iphones, so will he get a copy of my messages too when he upgrades his software?
    does anyone know how to stop this?  or how it happened in the first place?
    thanks

    You have an Apple ID signed in to all the devices which is causing this.
    "When you sign in to your Apple ID with iMessage using an iPhone with iOS 6, your Apple ID is linked to your phone number. This allows you to receive iMessages sent to your phone number on other iOS 6 devices signed in to the same Apple ID."
    To correct this, go into Settings > Messages > Send and Recieve at > See below...
    On your phone: Uncheck your son's phone number
    On his phone: Uncheck your phone number.
    On iPad: Uncheck both phone numbers to prevent iMessages sent to either number to also appear on the iPad.
    If you have email addresses associated here, then you may have to remove those as well, although you won't be able to remove the Apple ID that you're using. Any iMessage sent to that Apple ID will arrive at all the device unless you sign out of that Apple ID and create/use another Apple ID for that device.

  • When i press on shuffle to shuffle the songs on my ipod it will play a song and then after the song is done it wot go to the next song it will just replay the same song unless i press next how do i fix this?

    Please help me!!!!! I cant figure it out!!!

    The only thing I can think of is that you have selected the repeat song option as well. Repeat is on the left and is the 2 arrows making a closed oval. The Shuffle icon on on the right and has the 2 arrows crossing like an X. They "light up" blue when selected. The Repeat icon has 3 modes: off, repeat song and repeat album.
    Hope this helps!

  • Once I get my email on my MacBook Pro, I don't also want to get the same email on my iPad.  How do I fix this?  Thanks!

    I don't want to receive email on both my MacBook Pro AND iPAD.  Once getting my email is enough!

    Hi Aerobuf,
    If your mail provider supports the older POP mail protocol, you may be able to configure your Mac and your iPad to remove fetched messages from the server so that they only reside on the device that initially receivied them, as outlined in the following article:
    Using a POP account with more than one device
    Note: If configured this way, you will not be able to see a mail on one device if it has already been received by the other. 
    Regards,
    - Brenden
