I have 2 apple id's and the ipad and mbp id's do not match for the app store.. How to fix?
MBP(Snow Leopard) with apple ID 1
iPad synch's MBP to ID 1 since purchase 14 months ago.
Upgraded to IOS5 and now App store wants me to do iPad app update using Apple ID2
Question:
If I resynch the iPad with MBP(Snow Leopard) will things "reset" so I'm back to ID 1?
I'm about to trigger the upgrade to Lion and am not sure if I have already migrated to iCloud. Would this fix things?
In the end of the day I want to target everything on ID 1 as ID 2 is a .mac account that will go away next June.
ThanksAll purchases (and their updates) are forever tied to the ID used when they were bought. You cannot erase an ID, you simply stop using it. You will have to allow your son an exclusive account if he wants to use your computer. Can you log in under your ID now ... or do you have to use his? If the latter is the case, he has clearly changed your ID to one that is his.

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router.
1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
3. Can I create a network and how?
4. What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical. Any help / advice will be much appreciated.
RayThe key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router. I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule. -
Project/Task Management Software for iMac, iPad and iPhone
Hi,
I work at a Espresso Bars company in Sydney and we have a small but busy Design & Marketing department. We're looking for the best, yet simplest software so we can manage all the marketing and design projects.
I've seen a few good Online Management Software but they are quite expensive ($25+ per month per user). The good thing about those systems is that you can access it from anywhere and people can collaborate, ask questions about a project, give feedback about a design, enter a new task or tick as completed, etc... And you can use it on an iMac, an iPad and an iPhone.
I came across Projector for iMac and iPad, but it is not online, if you want to share the project from iMac to iPad you have to conect your iPad to your computer and sync it. It also works by projects, so there is no way for you to see in a single screen all the projects you're currently working on and the process of them. So, although it being very user friendly and excellent UI, not sure if it is what we want.
I wanted to ask you if you know about another Project/Task Management Software that we can use on an iMac, iPad and perhaps and iPhone as well. Something that you either buy the app once or if you have to pay a monthly fee it needs to be very low. If it is online it would be much better! but everything would work I reckon.
User friendly and good UI software are preferred.
Thank you so much for your help!
Cheers

I'm about to place an order for a mac and im undecided which one 20"imac or 15"mbp . I do photo retouching. as far as portability it does not matter i willl be happy with either. can i get some help.
thanxIt really comes down to what meets your needs. Since portability isn't important to you, the main consideration may be that you get a bigger screen with the 20" iMac. I can't tell you what you should do, but I can explain why I have both a G5 tower & a MacBook Pro (replacing a 15" PowerBook just a week ago). I don't use the 'Book daily & I don't travel a lot (mostly an annual trip to Macworld in San Francisco), so many would question the need for a portable. Living in an area where power outages lasting 24-30 hours happen a time or two a year, I can take my 'Book to one of the county libraries connect to their wireless network. I take it to meetings to take notes, to my user group where we use it for demos, etc. Once you have a portable, you'll wonder how you lived without one. I still use my G5 & 23" monitor most of the time, for the "extra real estate" for doing newsletters & anything else that is easier to work on spread out.

When someone trys to get into my iCloud on à different device, either then on my trusted devices, do i recieve then an email? i have à iMac iPad and iPhone and i live in Holland, is this possible or only for the future?
I want all my devices to be on a password related internet but the double nat on my TC makes weird things happen and slow. I try bridge mode but the internet doesn't work.
You building supplied internet is a cheap service that is without proper routable addresses..
Therefore to use more than one IP you MUST have double NAT.. sorry there is no choice..
Slow that is because you are sharing internet with every other person in the building.. get your own broadband service.
Bridge will not work.. it cannot work because the building only has private IP addressing. And they only give you a single address.
You can put a password on the wireless.. go to the airport utility and put in a password.
Other than that I don't understand what password you expect.
Can I get an explanation of what bridge mode is?
No NAT.. means the TC becomes a dumb Wireless AP and switch.. works fine with a cable modem router.. or any broadband router but useless with your building system.
Can I get suggestions on what I should do to use the TC as a wireless device to spread the same wireless device my apartment is broadcasting?
Double NAT, and set your own wireless names. There is no alternative.. sorry. -

Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars? I am not running exchange server.
hello,
BlackBerry devices do not support ActiveSync.
you have several ways, from best to less good :
1)
if your company has set up Outlook Web Access, you can use the BIS connection of your device to connect to the Exchange server (email + Address book) through the url of the Outlook Web Access. The OWA needs to be accessible from outside the company.
2)
if your company has setup an external link to the exchange server (can be accessible from outside the company), you can configure your BIS directly to the Exchange server (email only if I recall correctly)
3)
if your company allows it, on your PC you can setup your email account to automatically forward all incoming emails to a third party email (like GMail or Hotmail), and then configure BIS to connect to that email provider. You will get push email. You can then setup a reply-to: field.
4)
use a Windows Mobile phone that has the ActiveSync feature.

I previously bought Aperture 3 and installed in on an iMac and a MBP. I just bought a new MBA to replace the MBP, but the MBA doesn't have enough memory for me to do a complete restore of the MBP on the MBA. So I am trying to find a way to deactivate the serial code or Aperture 3 on the MBP so I can reinstall Aperture 3 on the MBA. I have been searching forums and google and I have not been any answers. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
How did you buy Aperture? Did you buy it from the App Store? Then you can download it again on your MBA, if you sign into the App Store.
If you bought Aperture buy buying a licence key to unlock the trial, try if this download link for the trial version still works: if yes, you can unlock it with your serial number:
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
And if you own the boxed DVD installer , use the DVD to install Aperture on your MBA. If the installer does not work - and you get the message
"check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of Mac OS X"
you may have a problem with an expired developer certificate (they expired mid march).
To fix this, set the Date in " SystemPreferences -> Date&Time" to a date well before March 2012 and run the Installer again. If that succeeds and Aperture now runs, reset the date to the current date.
You can see your serial number in the "About" panel in the main Aperture menu bar on your MBP:
Aperture > About Aperture.
For the "invaldid serial number" see these links: You may have read the letters incorrectly - some are look alike, "1" or "I", "0" or "O"; your shift-lock key may be set.

HI! I have a new macbook air but having difficulty connecting to a router if I am about 10 meters away. My iMac, iPad, iPhones and iPods can connect easily. Is there something that I need to configure? I have no issues if I am close to it. Thank you!
Hello, If you are dealing with one of the really thin iMac's that have no superdrive, then the superdrive icon should not appear on the desktop when you plug it in, but when you put in a disk (CD, DVD, etc.) that should appear. If you go into disk utility, and look at superdrive, that should be clickable and not grayed out when you have it plugged in. If this does not show up in disk utility, go to Apple, and ask to speak to their supervisor, speaking to a customer service agent is like talking to a potato, nothing gets done. Good Luck!

My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.
My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.
Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
Is the TC new? If old how old?
If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 Personal security only.
Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
Tell us how that goes.
