Linking multiple ids?

My husband just recently got an iPhone and and iPad for Christmas. As of now his devices are registered under my iTunes account. Is it possible to link two accounts, as in his appleID and my appleID so we can share app/music content, and billing info, but also use iMessage/iCloud independently? Right now iMessage is off on his device and he can't sync with the cloud because our devices get confused and end up mirroring each other. Any help on how to separate them, but keep them linked so we don't have to buy our contents twice, but can sync separately. We use one computer (MacBook,also using my id) and he knows nothing of technology, so it's all kind of on my end to figure out, any helpful hints/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

yes, you can do it.
just sign in to home sharing with the same apple id (pick one among your family members... it doesn't really matter).
when you can see each other, you can play their music...

  • Can we combine or link Apple IDs?

    My wife and I both have different Apple IDs (from before we were married) and it is kind of a nuisance given that we share all the music on our two computers. Is there a way to combine or link multiple IDs to one account?

    No way except converting a non-dot mac ID into a dot mac ID that hasn't used with iTMS before.

  • Can I use multiple IDs for one iTunes and multiple devices

    We have one family computer with iTunes, my older brother has an iPhone and I have an iPhone. A family ID was previously used to purchase songs for the family to share. My older brother has created an apple ID for his iPhone, and l have a yet unused apple ID. my brother downloaded songs etc onto the family iTunes that I would like to share, there are songs on the family apple ID that we would both like. Can you download purchases from multiple apple IDs into one iTunes  account, then sync that data onto multiple phones that each have a separate ID? Is iTunes linked to one ID? Can purchases from multiple IDs be grouped together in our family account. Also do I Actually need a separate Apple for my iPhone to prevent private messages and contacts being shared?
    Thanks for any advice

    I forgot to add my iPhone is brand new and unused, and also that the iTunes account has non purchased songs on there. Can these be shared. As it is a new computer the purchases from the family ID have not been downloaded yet

  • We have multiple devices in the family, including now 4 iphones, all who share the same Apple ID. I want to stop this, but need thoughts on multiple IDs as Findmyphone works well as same ID?!

    We have multiple devices in the family, including now 4 iphones, all who share the same Apple ID. I want to stop this, but need thoughts on multiple IDs as Findmyphone works well as same ID?!

    I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
    What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
    Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
    Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

  • How can I re-link multiple "missing" files from my iTunes without doing each one manually?

    All of a sudden, hundreds of my songs can't be played because iTunes can't find the files.  They are all still on my computer and I can link each of them manually, but that would take days!  Is there a way to re-link multiple files at once?

    Something must have been done to break the link.  Did you manually move files or folders, rename files or folders, or otherwise change where iTunes thinks the files are located?  Did iTunes crash at some point?
    I haven't seen any truly successful tools to re-link tracks.  You can check on Dougscripts website where there's one that uses Spotlight.  There's also one that tries to re-link based upon your file being in a logical folder structure.
    You could re-link by adding the files again.  Of course they will be added as brand new files and not in playlists, and won't have ratings, etc.  You can then use one of Dougscripts to automatically remove dead links.

  • Linking multiple accounts of the same resource with single identity of SIM

    Hi,
    Iam trying to link multiple resource accounts of the user with a single identity manager account. I'm able to achieve this using the 'resource type' also by doing a reconcile based on e-mail(which is same for resource account and IDM account), but i'm unable to link them using 'load from file' or 'Bulk upload'
    I have tried in the following way
    command,user,accountsLDAP.identity,accountsLDAP.identity
    Update,134088230,"cn=134080,OU=people,dc=xxxx,dc=com","cn=134081,OU=people,dc=xxxx,dc=com"
    Can any one help me in this regard

    This is probably a bug or for some crazy reason intended to work this way. I have a similar issue, only difference being my resource is Sun Access Manager instead of LDAP. When I ran my code through Netbeans Debugger I saw that the resource account Fields that holds the value for resource account attributes, simply vanishes during a particular step of form processing. The only workaround I have at this point is to make those attributes as global.<attributeName> instead of accounts[<ResourceName>|<accountType>].<attributeName>
    If anyone can get to bottom of this please post here. I'm going to raise a Support Ticket with Sun.

  • Linking multiple textboxes in a form Acrobat Pro 9?

    Hi all,
    I'm making an electronic form with Acrobat Pro 9.
    The setup was made in Indesign CS3 after which the form boxes were detected by Acrobat Pro 9. There is a larger text area which consists of multiple lines of text (to be filled in by the user).
    For this area there are 2 options:
    1- Have multiple textboxes linked together so the text flows to the next box automatically when the current one is full.
    or.
    2- Have 1 multiline textbox with a larger linespacing.
    The problem with 1 is, I can't seem to link multiple boxes together in Acrobat Pro 9. The problem with 2 is, I have no idea how to increase the linespacing.
    Does anybody have any idea how to accomplish either 1 or 2?
    Thanks in advance,
    Bas

    Linking the text boxes is not really possible, at least in a seamless manner. I've seen a few approaches using JavaScript, but none that are very well implemented. My usual suggestion is to redesign the form to get rid of the lines and just use a single multiline text box, perhaps with a faint border to indicate to the user where the field is.
    If you need the lines because the form might be printed and filled by hand or some other means, then you can set up the field with a bit of JavaScript to set the background color to white if the user enters any text, and transparent otherwise. That way, when the document is printed, the lines won't appear if any text is entered, but will if not. You will not need to be concerned about the line spacing of the field matching up with the lines.

  • Sending email notifications to multiple IDs from lookup?

    Is it possible to send email notifications to multiple ids by putting them in the decode column of a lookup separated by semicolon or nay other identifier?
    OR is there any other way of sending email notfications to mutiple ids (not through Java mail) ?
    Thanks,
    Abhi

    Try this to fetch the emails ids from the Lookup.
    Suppose you have got a string say x from Lookup using "Lookup Definition.Lookup Code Information.Decode"
    String x = "[email protected];[email protected];[email protected]";
    StringTokenizer AA = new StringTokenizer(x.trim(), ";");
    while(AA.hasMoreTokens())
    int i = 0;
    while(i <= AA.countTokens())
    String B= AA.nextToken();
    AAList.add(B);
    i++;
    Now you have the list just make a for loop
    sendMail.setSubject("SUBJECT");
    sendMail.setBody("BODY";
    sendMail.setFromAddress(from);
    for (int i=0;i<emailList.size();i++){
    String email = AAList.get(i).toString();
    sendMail.sendEmail(email);
    If you need any help, let me know. I think we have written the whole code here. :-)

  • Signature Appearances Available to Multiple IDs?

    My wife and I both need to digitally sign a bank document.  The document requires us to both place full signatures and initial several locations.  Since I received the document in electronic format, I would prefer to electronically sign the documents.
    I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro on Window XP 32-bit (my work computer), and I've never used digital signatures before, so I began by creating an ID for myself.  I used the following steps:
    I created my ID with my contact information (name, email address, etc).
    I applied a strong password to the signature.
    I created an appearance that contained today's date and a JPEG of my signature.
    I created another appearance that contained just my initials.
    I created a final appearance that contained just my name.
    I saved the key to a PFX file.
    I then began the same steps to create an ID for my wife (on the same Windows account and without closing Acrobat).  I thought that when I created a new ID that Acrobat would create an ID without appearances.  Instead, all the appearances I created for my ID were available for my wife's ID, too.  Thus, I was able to place a signature using my wife's ID but the image was of my signature.
    Did I miss something?  Are appearances stored with the ID, and if so, how does Acrobat separate them amongst IDs?  I looked through Acrobat's help, but the only site I found was one talking about creating appearances, and it didn't talk about working with multiple IDs.
    Any help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
    Matthew

    Hi Matthew,
    Acrobat (and when I say Acrobat I really mean both Acrobat and Reader) saves the appearances and digital ID files in the user's space as allocated by the operating system. If you have no log on when you start the computer (that is, it just boots up and you end up on the Desktop) then there is probably only one user that was created when you first set up the computer. If you have a log in screen where you select a user name and type in a password then there are probably accounts for both you and your wife. Whomever you are logged in as, that's where the files are going to be stored. More specifically, I'm referring to C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Security where <user name> will depend on the log in name.
    I hope this helped,
    Steve

  • Buddies with multiple IDs: how to message to a specific one?

    Here's a relatively simple problem, on the face of it, that I can't figure out how to solve. Is there in fact a solution?
    I have an increasing number of buddies with multiple IDs (almost always AIM), for instance, one for home and one for work. Because most of them have broadband in both places, they don't shut their computers down in either location and are usually signed in to iChat/AIM in both. I've got their various IDs noted in their cards in Address Book, but in iChat I only see one entry for the person regardless of which ID, or both, is signed in at the moment. There doesn't seem to be much logic to which picture iChat displays along with the entry, so I can't ever tell which ID I am looking at. I know that a mouseover on the iChat entry will tell me the status of all IDs associated with that person, but how can I send a message to the ID that I want?
    Example: buddy is at work and signed in using work ID. Buddy's spouse is at home, also signed in, using home ID. I see one entry for my buddy, showing as active. It might display the home picture and it might display the work picture. If it's the home ID, and open a message window, I'll be messaging with the spouse at home, instead of with my buddy at work -- and I don't see any way to get at the other ID. Is there a way to pick the ID I want to message with?
    I see that I can keep them separate if I create different groups and add each ID, from the same card, to each group. But that's clumsy (as is creating separate cards altogether) and basically removes the meaningfulness of the groups. Is there some obvious trick I am missing, or is what I want to do just not possible?

    Hi Ralph,
    You're exactly right; I need to do the opposite. I suspect it just isn't possible or the solution would be more self-evident. As I mentioned in my original post, the only way I've been able to make it work is to add the IDs separately in iChat and make sure they are added to different groups. Doing this will keep them separate but based on the same Address Book card. In the same group, however, they collapse into one entry and lose their meaning. Unfortunately, keeping separate groups for such a purpose makes the groups essentially meaningless.
    As I would imagine this to be an increasingly common occurrence, this seems to be a definite shortcoming of iChat.
    Thanks for your response.

  • Linking multiple documents in solar01

    Hi Guys,
    Linking multiple documents in SolMan is a pain, and I am trying to find out if anyone of you have a way that allows linking multiple documents in SolMan at a go.
    We need to do a 3 way match between document types - Say Doc A, Doc B and Doc C. All Doc As have corresponding Doc Bs and Cs.
    So each Doc A must be linked to the corresponding Doc B and C; Doc B to the corresponding Doc A and C and Doc C to the corresponding Doc A and B.
    Any ideas !!

    Hey Leslie,
    Yes, you can create several projects in Captivate and publish them as Flash (SWF) format. There is an aggregator project in Captivate where in you can combine all these published projects (SWF) into a single output.
