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...

My dish app isn't working correctly the dish people said I should get rid of the app and get a new app, but the cloud keeps putting the same one back on. How do I delete this from iCloud?

How do I delete an app from the iCloud that is corrupt?

When you delete an app and redownload it, you are downloading the most recent version of the app from the App store. In other words, it isn't stored in your iCloud account, it's only stored in the App store. The iCloud download symbols are just links to your previously purchased apps in the App store so you can redownload them.
If redownloading the app didn't help, call Dish back as there must be a problem with the current version of the app.

HT1414 I just got an iPad mini for Christmas; when I try to sync it with iTunes, it tells me I have to restore it first; when I tried to restore it, it said it could not restore as the defive was not found. How do I sync this with iTunes for the first ti

I don't know much about electronics either and I do not know what my operating system is, but it is iPad mini 32gb.

It really doesn't matter what operating system you are using right now, but when you connected the iPad to your computer, did iTunes start up on its own and then give you this message?
Start with this. Quit iTunes on your computer, and then estart your computer. Restart the iPad as well. After the computer and the iPad start up again, connect the iPad to your computer again and see what happens. Post back after you do that.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I just got a Mac and I use the same internet connection as my mom and my brother, who has an iPad. He can click on something that has my name and then Macbook Air, and is able to see everything on my computer screen. How do I fix this?

No, I made sure nothing was checked for that section when i found out he could see my screen. At the top it says "computers on your local network can access your computer at: blah blah". I think thats how hes doing it but i dont know how to fix it.

I just got my mac, and created a apple id. but when i tried to download iphoto, it said it was already used by a nother id! what should i do

i just got my mac, and created a apple id, but when i tried to accept iphoto from the app store, it said: these app cannot be accepted by your apple id. it was already asigned to another id's purchases list. if you don't have accsess to that apple ID and want to receive future updates you will need to purchase.
but i shoulndt have to buy iphoto, should i? what should i do????

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID.

2.Currently my emails are grouped together if the subject is the same, how do I undo this?

ITunes recently decided my debit card's security code in invalid. But nothing is wrong with the code or my card. how do I fix this? Apple support doesn't have a clue what they are doing and will not call me to fix this.

My bank sent me a new Debit card because of some security issue. It has the same number as my previous card but new experation and new security code. It worked fine for months then all of a sudden Itunes decided the security code is invalid. Now I can't even update my phone.
For the last week I have been going back and forth over email with apple support to fix it, but they keep telling me the same fix that doesn't work and frankly they are the worst support group I have ever worked with. I can't even get anyone to answer a phone, its just back and forth by email everyday.

Debit card? Are you sure?
USA iTunes Store does not appear to accept debit cards - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html "The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Services”) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances."

I have my photoshop CS6 on my PC but I just got a Mac and I want to put my photoshop on the Mac would I be better off just getting the CC on my Mac? Thank you

So I am hoping that I can just do CC on my Mac and does the Photoshop & lightroom does that just automatically com the Bridge or is that a separate cost?
Thank you

If you have a CS6 licensed version then you would need to request a platform swap to be able to use CS6 on the Mac. Order product | Platform, language swap
If you subscribe to the Cloud then you could have it installed on either or both machines since the Cloud allows for mixed platform use.

My husband just bought an ipad and now when we message each other we get the same message to our iphones, how do we stop this?

When I send a message to the ipad, from my iphone, I get the same message to my phone from my own number. He also gets one to his iphone when he sends me a message from his ipad. I know this has something to do with the apple id; we do use the same one. Is there a way to turn off the multiple messages? We don't want to get separate apple ids because the guy at the apple store told us we wouldn't be able to share the music we have....meaning music on my id wouldn't show up with the music on his id in our itunes. So we switched to using one account. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to create a separate apple id?

Apple ID cannot be merged or transfered.

"91590.emlx" couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists. How do I fix this?

The delete button in Mail gives me this message: “91590.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists. The only thin that has changed is an OS update last evening. (Mountain Lion)

Thanks...it was spooky seeing the mail in my box suddenly disappear and blank after going to Mailbox and Rebuild. But "poof" it was up again and was able to delete without the messages telling me it had a duplicate in trash (which it did). Solved the problem.

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