Is there a way to tell which apple ID I have is better to back up to icloud?

I want to back my iphone 4s onto icloud, but I have 2 apple ID's. I don't know which one I should use; does it matter what I' ve purchased on either account? Is there a way to see which account I have used to purchase more? I don't want to lose contacts, pictures, songs, etc
thanks!

You are mixing icloud accounts with itunes accounts - they are different. You can use the same or different IDs for each account. I recommend that you use the ID that was used to buy the most items from the itunes store when setting up the store connection on the device. You'll lose access to the items bought using the other ID (only one ID at a time for the store is allowed).
As for icloud, you can only connect to one icloud account for all the features. Choose the one (the ID) that has the contacts, etc. that you want. Use that ID for the icloud connection (Settings>icloud).

Is there any way to tell which formulas a particular cell is in, reverse look-up style? That is, is there a way to search somehow for which formulas in a sheet contain a particular cell in them without opening all of them up? If not, it would be nice

Is there any way to tell which formulas a particular cell is in, reverse look-up style? That is, is there a way to search somehow for which formulas in a sheet contain a particular cell in them without opening all of them up? If not, it would be nice.
I'm fixing a Numbers document that I use in business daily that's become overly complicated, but while I want to clear/delete a number of cells in it to clean it up, I'm not sure if those cells are being used as source for other formulas on the page. I don't have to open all my formulas one by one to see if that cell is in there, do I?! That'd be a huge amount of work if I wanted to eliminate say 10 cells to search each formula on the page to see if it is in there or watch all the cells when I delete that cell to see if the numbers change! There's got to be an easier way! Right click doesn't seem to be any help.
I don't want to damage my daily tool to make it cleaner and reorganize it. Is there really no way to do a reverse look-up of which formulas a particular cell is in?! Any time I click on a formula it highlights all the CELLS in that formula. Why can't I (or can I?) do the reverse and see all the FORMULAS that contain a particular cell?
As a Numbers document ages or gets used frequently, you can sometimes forget which cells are tied to which formulas. You just look for the results of your formulas. Would be a nice thing to be able to do. Thoughts? Work-arounds? Answers?

Answer would be no unless application provided such feature. Numbers does not as far as I know.
Note that even if you have complete list of formulae used in a table, identifying formulae referencing any given cell is not simple.
E.g., cell T20 is referenced not only in
=T20+1
but also in
=SUM(T)
=SUM(20:20)
=SUM(S19:U22)
=OFFSET(S1,19,1,1,1)
=INDIRECT("T"&(10*2))
In order to identify such formula, we have to actually evaluate it to see if it references the given cell. Especially such formula as OFFSET() and INDIRECT() may not be found by static parser because their parameters can be dynamic.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.

HT4972 is there a way to tell which computer an ipad syncs with?

I have tried to sync and update my ipad on my family's 3 different mac's, and i get a dialog box on each saying to sync with the computer you normally sync with. i am pretty sure it is one of these three mac's. Is there any way to tell which computer an ipad is syncing with? Or how to tell which apps are backed up and will remain after the update? thanks

No.

AVM1 into AVM2. Is there a way to tell which is being loaded?

I have an app that users can load SWF files into. It's
written in AS3 (AVM2).
Currently, they can load both AVM1 and AVM2 SWF files into
it. Id like to give the users an alert when they load AVM1 content.
Is there a way to tell when AVM1 is being loaded...maybe a property
I should check in the loaded SWF?

I figured it out. Thanks.

Is there any way to know which Apple ID was used to activat

My father activated my iPad mini about two years ago.
I recently restored it after updating it to iOS 8.0.2
After restoring, it is asking for the Apple ID that was used to activate the device.
Unfortunately my father can't remember the Apple ID he used to activate the iPad mini.
I was wondering if there was any way i can know which apple ID was used so i can access my iPad somehow.
Or if there is any other way possible to activate my device. PLEASE let me know.

Click here and use Apple's iForgot service, or if needed, contact their Account Security team.
If both methods fail and you or he is the original owner, take the device and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.

Is there a way to tell which apps are using data while on WIFI?

Hello,
I have just purchased an iPad Air 2. I use my phone as a mobile WIFI hot spot to connect to the internet when I do not have a regular WIFI connection available. 151 MBs of data were consumed over an hour and a half or so. I played about an hour of Hearthstone, but I know from tethering my phone to my laptop that it usually doesn't use anywhere near that amount of data.
I would like to track down which applications might be using the data so that I can avoid using them while connected to my phone. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks for the quick response. That's a little disappointing though. Is there an app on the store?

I've received an email of an unauthorised access which states it was done in Canada, is there any way I can request Apple to inform me what the IP address that made unauthorised access was?

I've received an email of an unauthorised access which states it was done in Canada, is there any way I can request Apple to inform me what the IP address that made unauthorised access was?
I want to know as it possibly relates to other security issues I've had of late and it would help further my investigation. Would a subject access request possibly allow me to recieve this information? As far as I know there's no way to see a list of when and where I sign in using my Apple ID?

Sorry but no, Apple cannot give you that information. The only way they could give anyone such an IP address would be if they received a court order to do so, if even then; I don't know what sort of tracking and logs they do.
However, if this email claimed that someone had tried to reset your password and in any way gave you a link to click to confirm your account information, the email was almost certainly a phish. Such phishing messages have been quite common over the last two or three weeks and should be deleted without responding. You may wish to manually type in the URL for Apple's page for managing an Apple ID and change your password, just as a precaution, and make sure you've set good security questions using responses that can't just be looked up for you (they don't have to be real information; you can use any response you wish as long as you can remember what you entered).

Is there any way to tell Airport to select the strongest network from saved networks?

I have two routers in my house as both are fairly crap, and essentially I have one router for upstairs and one for downstairs (to be fair, my house is a few hundred years old and all the walls are massively thick granite so perhaps no router would negate this problem). This is a minor issue really, but is there any way to tell Airport, rather than simply having a list of networks to try in preferred order, to check which of the two networks has a stronger wifi signal when the mac is booted up or woken from sleep, and join that one?
Don't mind doing it manually tbh, just curious as to whether this could be automated.

Hmm, this is interesting. I actually didn't know this.
From:
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/answers/4-wi-fi-tips-from-former-apple-wi-fi-engi neer
"Apple devices choose networks by your preferred order. Period. If you have multiple networks of different names your Mac or iPhone will always choose the first in your iCloud-synced "Preferred Networks" list even if this one isn't going to give you the best bandwidth. If you have the network name/SSID the same then it will chose the radio that it predicts will give the best throughput (which isn't always the one with the best signal, but that's an even geekier discussion you can hear in the show). Make all the Wi-Fi networks in your home the same. Your life will be better for it."
Maybe I've been working on too many PCs over the last 5 years.

A Way to Tell Which rules (filter types) are supported by iTunes Match

There are tons of posts about issues with iTunes Match smart playlists not working as expected. I am facing these issues myself--hearing the same song several days in a row even when the playlist rule says to exclude if played within 60 days.
Anyway, I think I found a way to tell which rules Apple is intending to support. Device will output to its console the unsupported rule. One way to view the console is with iPhone Configuration Utility.
1. Install iPhone Configuration Utility (iPCU) - https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise/
2. Attach your iTunes Match enabled iOS device.
3. In iPCU, select the device (under DEVICES), then pick the 'Console' tab on top.
4. Change any smart playlist in iTunes. This seems to cause it to sync the change to iCloud immediately.
In my case I was seeing this:
Oct 2 14:18:03 Kris-iPhone-4S itunescloudd[6392] <Warning>: unhandled match type: unfilterable type kITDBTrackField_CloudStatus (134)
Oct 2 14:18:03 Kris-iPhone-4S itunescloudd[6392] <Warning>: unhandled match type: unfilterable type kITDBTrackField_CloudStatus (134)

Oct 2 14:18:05 Kris-iPhone-4S itunescloudd[6392] <Warning>: unhandled match type: unfilterable type kITDBTrackField_CloudStatus (134)
I had two Smart Playlists using 'iCloudStatus is' rule. When I deleted one of them I got
Oct 2 14:19:51 Kris-iPhone-4S itunescloudd[6402] <Warning>: unhandled match type: unfilterable type kITDBTrackField_CloudStatus (134)
Oct 2 14:19:51 Kris-iPhone-4S itunescloudd[6402] <Warning>: unhandled match type: unfilterable type kITDBTrackField_CloudStatus (134)
When I deleted the other, I didn't have any entries like this.
(I am guessing that they are removed in pairs because I have two devices with iTunes Match? Or there is one playlist on the device and one in the cloud? Not sure, but anyway...)
Despite this find, there are still problems. I am having issues even with playlists that didn't have this rule, so I'm not surprised.
It seems to ignore these rules (that I care about):
- Is Checked (completely ignores)
- Last Played - not in the last - X (seems to sometimes work...I am hearing the same songs every day
Also after a few songs, it seems to get stuck on one song as if Repeat 1 is being used, but it's not...several times a day.

When I wrote this I was hoping there were only a few issues with iTunes Match, iOS 6, and Smart Playlists. I was still trying to troubleshoot them and hoped to live with the limitations.
However, the problems are very fundamental. Basic stuff like using Last played and random as criteria are just not working. iTunes and iPhone playlists don't match at all, which is odd if all the logic is in the cloud.
I filed 4 bugs about 3 weeks ago and none have been updated.
Today I contacted Apple Support and after a few minutes wait, the rep acknowledged that iTunes Smart Playlists aren't really working as expected today and there is no estimated date when it will work. She was not sure if this was a new problem for iOS 6.
We agreed that the best thing might be to request a refund. Here's how:
http://expresslane.apple.com
iTunes>iTunesStore>Purchases,Billing,andRedeption>"The topic is not listed", etc...
I also mentioned that this page is misleading:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
Will my playlists sync across devices?
Yes. When you create, edit, or delete a playlist on your Mac, PC, iPhone, or iPad, those changes will sync across any iTunes Match-enabled device you own.
My guess is that when the new version (major update) of iTunes is released, this stuff will be changed and supported again. The number of people using Smart Playlist on iTunes Match must not be important enough.

HT5622 My family has multiple phones on one apple ID. Is there a way of switching it so we each have our own ID without losing everything?

My family has multiple phones on one apple ID. Is there a way of switching it so we each have our own ID without losing everything?

Hi ndmulderx,
If I understand correctly, your family has been sharing a single Apple ID and now you want to give everyone an individual Apple ID without losing any content. You can do this with Family Sharing. The article below provides details about the feature which will allow you to share purchases between family members, create shared photo albums and much more.

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Is there a way to set which keychain item is used by default for a site/application?

This question applies primarily to the keychain in Mavericks, but also the iCloud keychain and its use in iOS.
There are several sites and services for which I have multiple logins that serve different purposes. Whether it's because they are business/personal accounts, or accounts that pertain to different functions, I have multiple logins for many sites/services I use daily, however, there is usually one primary account for each that I use for most purposes.
What I would like to be able to do is set which of these logins appears by default. An example scenario might be if I have an "admin" account on a site, and a "dev" account that is used for testing purposes to Q/A the site from the perspective of a user who doesn't have administrative access. Most of my work happens under "admin" but whenever I go to the login page, the "dev" account prepopulates in the login form and I have to start typing admin and select that. It also does this on my iPhone, which is where this issue becomes very cumbersome, because there is no dropdown for me to select which credentials to use to autofill from. It appears to only allow autofill from whatever it sees as the first account to come up, and I can't seem to change that without deleting all the other keychain items that come up ahead of the one that I want. This kind of thing also poses a significant risk of accidents if, say, I have multiple payment methods saved and the one that comes up by default isn't my personal payment method, but a business account that's only meant to be used for business purchases. If that comes up first, if I don't replace it with my personal details, I might accidentally place a personal charge on a business account.
So I really have 2 questions:
1) Is there a way to set the priority order of which account populates a form by default from the keychain?
2) When filling out credentials on iOS, an "autofill" button appears at the top of my keyboard, and I can begin typing in a field and it will show the autocomplete of the username that I am typing, but if I click autofill, it replaces it with the original credentials and not those of whatever I began typing in. If I click on the username it's autocompleting, it just clears the autocomplete. Is there some way to choose which username I'm autocompleting a form with?
Thanks to anyone who has any ideas about a solution to this, and if there isn't, and if anyone at Apple is listening, in an ideal world, it would be like setting the priority order of known wifi networks, where you can drag your first choice to the top of the list.
