I want to install new Apple TV which can receive iTunes media stored in a NAS device connected to my router. I would like to use both a PC and a Mac to manage this. Is that possible?

I guess the real question is can a single drive in the NAS be shared by both a PC and a Mac. I plan to access the network from both the PC and mac wrelessly but will ust CAT5 between Apple TV and router.

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

Yes, if there are Arabic letters then there have to be English letters as well, because otherwise you could not type any email or web addresses.
As to where you can buy such a machine, you have to contact stores in the country where you live directly yourself and ask them. Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store. Apple stores do not ship outside the country where they are located.

Hi, I have two iPads, two separate accounts I have purchased apps on one Acc. and would like to use them on my second iPad. How is this possible

I have two iPads, two separate accounts I have purchased apps on one Acc. and would like to use them on my second iPad. How is this possible

If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

I already have an Apple ID account with 4 devices connected to it but I would like to make a new one with a desperate password for my school iPad. How do I do that?

You can create a new Apple ID and password for the iPad but none of the content downloaded using the Apple ID associated with the four devices will be available on the iPad.
Create new > Apple - My Apple ID
It's not possible to use two passwords with one Apple ID.

I have an ipod and an iphone. I would like to use both devices for my work and home computer. But it tells me that its installed to another library and will delete all items to sync to itunes. Is there a way to do this without deleting?

OK....... I have an Ipod and an Iphone. Would like all the Movies and music i have on both. My computer broke and now the only music i have is on ipod. It wont let me transfer to itunes. It says this device is linked to a different library and if i want to sync to a new one and delete everything on it. UH....NO Is there a way to do this without deleting ? All purchases were made though the same apple id.

- An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
- Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

Just bought an ipad air and I have an ipad 2. I would like to use both with the same computer. Can someone tell me how to do this. Do I have to set up a separate user.

I just ordered an ipad air and I have an ipad 2. Can someone help me so I can use both ipads from the same computer. The new one is for my husband and I am going to take the ipad 2. Do I have to do something different since they will be using the same computer. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

It's no problem. I hope this explanation simplifies the information in the Link Demo gave you. It's how I think most people do it...
To avoid having to pay again for apps you have already purchased, use the same Apple ID (likely the current one) on both devices. You can adjust this in:
Settings > iTunes & App Store.
So that you can communicate with each other, use separate Apple IDs for iCloud, Messages, and FaceTime. Adjust those in:
Settings > iCloud
Settings > Messages
Settings > FaceTime

HT4352 I lost my remote for apple tv and would like to use my ipad mini as the remote. Is this possible?

I am not sure if I can program or whatever my ipad mini to use as the renote for our apple tv. We cannot find the remote and I thought I read somewhere tht one can set up their ipad device to act as a remote for apple tv. I could be wrong. Maybe it means sharing some other thisngs between computers but not usinghte ipad as a remote for apple tv. Any information abou this mater would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
scima

Only if you've already setup home-sharing on ATV and both are on the same network.
The remote app is available from the App Store

When will you get a norton tool bar compatible with this? I like to use my identity safe and it doesnt work with this version

on my other version of firefox it gives me a tool bar with my norton stuff and one to access my yahoo page and mail. I would use this alot more if I could get that here. instead I get error messages every time I start up

You are talking about Norton Safe Web, right? Well you have a way -
Download Add-on Compatibility Reporter
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/)
and restart Firefox. Restart Firefox again and Norton Safe Web should be enabled.

TS2972 What is the point of Home Share if all devices must have the same Apple ID? Three family members in this home would like to use the facility but all have different Apple IDs.

Three family members use ITunes and would like to use Home Share but the HOme Share set-up guidance states that all devices must use the same Apple ID.
Is there a workaround for this impasse?
