IMatch on two Macs with same Apple ID

I have 2 Macs in different locations with the same Apple ID's. One has less music than the other. Could I purchase iMatch on one and use it on the other to upload the remaining music?

Hi,
Macworld has a great article on multiple apple ID's and imatch.   Here's the link: hope it helps.
http://www.macworld.com/article/163013/2011/10/all_about_icloud_common_signup_sc enarios.html
Please be careful however: if you do not have a US credit card, you CANNOT use iTunes gift cards (nor your iTunes account balance) to buy imatch.     Do NOT upgrade your software to get iCloud just for this. (I did, and am rather annoyed).
Hopefully apple will let gift card payment for imatch soon & that this was just an error.
(if you're in the same situation though: here's the post I put up).

Two iPhones with same Apple id

What a mess. My wife and I have a single Apple ID that we use for a Mac, two iPhones and two iPads. With the latest IOS update our iMessaging has gone haywire. We both receive all messages and so does the Mac and iPads. I attempted to solve the problem by establishing a separate Apple ID for my wife's iPhone. No luck. How do I fix this?

You both need, & should use different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime. You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes content.
Your wife needs an Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime & iCloud.
The Apple ID needs to be a verified email address. Once you have an email address, that can be verified, go here & create the ID:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
Then on her phone, turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
This will have no affect on the ID you both share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

HT4910 Have two phones with same apple id as I got one for my hubbie .he tried to back up his numbers in I cloud . Our contacts have now merged and neither can delete from our phone without it coming off the other . Any ideas how we can stop this

Have two iPhones with the same id as I got hubbie one in week and when I got it they asked for email address so I gave the one we use, so when my husband started phone up he just put my password in. When he tried to back his numbers on iCloud they all appeared on my phone and now I can't delete his numbers without them deleting on his phone as well . Any help would be appreciated.

You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

Two iPhones with same Apple ID and want two separate icloud accounts.

I have two iPhones both of which are set up with the same Apple ID. How can I set up separate icloud accounts for each phone? My phone has same email for Apple ID and icloud account. I wants wife's phone to have icloud set up with her own email account. Right now her phone keeps automatically reverting to my email address for icloud.

To migrate to a separate account she will have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the current account to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted (if she's running iOS 7), choose Keep on My iPhone (to keep a copy of the iCloud data on her phone), then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload the data to the account. (Deleting the account only deletes it from her phone, not from iCloud. This won't effect your phone.)
Once she's on a separate account, you can each sign into your account on icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

Can you use FaceTime using two iPads with same apple id

Have two iPads for wife and I. Both use same apple ID account. Can you use FaceTime between them?

Heres what you do. got to settings>facetime>add an email and than add another email (note: cannot be the same email that you use on your apple ID) A verifaction email will be sent. Go to your email account and verify the email by clicking on the link. Now using the other ipad, make a facetime call to the email you just verified and you can now facetime between the two!
One more side note. Make sure that only the email you just verified has a check mark on it. The other ipad shoud have a check mark next to the orginal apple ID email.

Two devices with same Apple ID

Hi there,
Unfortunately we are not a very technical fami;y and by mistake, or lack of knowledge I set up my son's ipnone using my husbands Apple ID. I now realise that I have to create a seperate I.D. for my son but how do I delete or disconnect him from my husbands Apple I.D. account without erasing all of my husbands stored data?
Thanks

Hi,
On your son's iPhone you just need to remove the Apple ID in the places the iPhone is using it.
Let's start with the iPhone > Settings > iMessages.
Start with de-selecting the Apple ID as one of the Send and Receive options
Then remove the Apple ID itself.
Place the iPhone in in Airplane Mode for a few Minutes. This breaks contacts with at least the iMessages server in this case.
Now turn to Settings > iCloud.
Again turn off all the settings that it may be syncing with.
then remove the Apple ID here.
You may have to check Settings Mail separately to make sure the email is not still listed for that app.
Again check the iTunes app, FaceTime and the Game Center at least.
Then you can Add the new Apple ID that you or your son gets.
You will be extracting one items from the Sync processes fro the most part and the "registrations" for FaceTime and the iMessages part of the Messages app.
It will not effect the data on your husband's Mac or any info he has in iCloud On line.

Two Macs with same Home Folder name

Hello,
We have a new iMac 27" to setup. I plan to use Migration Assistant to migrate files, apps, settings, etc. from our MacBook Pro 15" (OS 10.6.4). This will result in both computers having the same name for their Home Folder (the one with the house icon). Changing this name is not recommended so I don't intend to. However, will having the same name for both Mac Home Folders result in conflict problems when they are connected over our network, using target disk mode or other situations?
Thanks.
Mike

No, same usernames on different computers is absolutely fine. In fact, if you set them to have the same passwords, it's a little easier to share files between them.
One thing: If you use Migration Assistant pull over the network settings (or maybe it's just "settings", I forget) then both computers will also have the same name - one of them will rename itself computername(2), to make sure there is no confusion on the network. You can sort out the computer names yourself in the System Prefs/Sharing panel after.

Two Switches with same MAC+Priority running STP

Hi
what will happen if two switch with same MAC-ADDRESS and same STP priority will run STP , how will elect to the root bridge ???? how the STP process will handle this situation?
thanx

Well, first off, no two switches (or switchports) will have the same MAC (if they do, you're buying switches from the wrong, very bad place).
Every port of the switch will have (at least) one MAC of it's own.
Given the same priority for all switches/bridges on the LAN, the lowest switch/bridge MAC on the LAN will win as the root.
VLANS take on the MAC of the administrative interface ("CPU"): i.e., xxxx.xxxx.5000, the first port (i.e., fa0/1) is xxxx.xxxx.5001, the second (fa0/2) is xxx.xxxx.5002, and so on
If you do a "show interface", the MAC / bia is displayed in the second line.
Good Luck
Scott

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue.

iTunes content can be commingled in the iTunes library on a computer and synced to iOS devices. The computer must be authorized to use the content from the respective Apple IDs in the iTunes Store menu.

Two methods with same name but different return type?

Can I have two methods with same name but different return type in Java? I used to do this in C++ (method overloading or function overloading)
Here is my code:
import java.io.*;
public class Test{
public static void main(String ar[]){
try{
//I give an invalid file name to throw IO error.
File file = new File("c:/invalid file name becasue of spaces");
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file ,true);
writer.write("Test");
writer.close();
} catch (IOException IOe){
     System.out.println("Failure");
//call first method - displays stack trace on screen
     showerr(NPe);
//call second method - returns stack trace as string
        String msg = showerr(NPe);
        System.out.println(msg);
} // end of main
public static void showerr(Exception e){
     StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
     PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
     e.printStackTrace(pw);
     try{
     pw.close();
     sw.close();
     catch (IOException IOe){
     IOe.printStackTrace();
     String stackTrace = sw.toString();
     System.out.println("Null Ptr\n" + stackTrace );
}//end of first showerr
public static String showerr(Exception e){
     StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
     PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
     e.printStackTrace(pw);
     try{
     pw.close();
     sw.close();
     catch (IOException IOe){
     IOe.printStackTrace();
     return sw.toString();
}//end of second showerr
} // end of class
[\code]

Overloading is when you have multiple methods that have the same name and the same return type but take different parameters. See example
public class Overloader {
     public String buildError(Exception e){
          java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date() ;
          java.text.DateFormat format = java.text.DateFormat.getInstance() ;
          StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer() ;
          buffer.append(format.format(now))
               .append( " : " )
               .append( e.getClass().getName() )
               .append( " : " )
               .append( e.getMessage() ) ;
          return buffer.toString() ;
     public String buildError(String msg){
          java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date() ;
          java.text.DateFormat format = java.text.DateFormat.getInstance() ;
          StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer() ;
          buffer.append(format.format(now))
               .append( " : " )
               .append( msg ) ;
          return buffer.toString() ;
     public String buildErrors(int errCount){
          java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date() ;
          java.text.DateFormat format = java.text.DateFormat.getInstance() ;
          StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer() ;
          buffer.append(format.format(now))
               .append( " : " )
               .append( "There have been " )
               .append( errCount )
               .append( " errors encountered.") ;
          return buffer.toString() ;
}Make sense ???
