Looking for best way to set up multiple iPhone accounts

I already have an iPhone. Planning on getting one for my wife. I need to know the best way to setup both phones on my computer. We have separate Windows accounts on our home computer. I currently have an iTunes account on my Windows user account with some apps and the music library - with some, but not a lot of purchased music.
We also both use separate Outlook accounts for Calendar, Contacts, etc.
Should I:
- Sync both phones on my iTunes account? I imagine that would allow us to share any purchased music and apps. If so, can I point her phone to sync to her Outlook account?
- Set up a new iTunes account on her Windows account? I would import my music into her library, but I would guess that she would not be able to share my purchased music or apps
- Do something else?
Please let me know the best approach. Thanks.

Keep your separate logins, itunes accounts, outlook, etc., you can still share itunes content, as permitted under the EUSLA.
Launch itunes under your WIFE"S computer login. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected, under preferences(under the edit menu), in itunes. Log your WIFE out of her itunes account, log in using YOUR account details, connect YOUR phone, DO NOT SYNC. Go up to Store>Authorize This Computer. Then, File>Transfer Purchases. Once complete, EJECT YOUR phone. Log out of itunes, log your WIFE back in. Connect HER phone, select what content you want on HER phone, hit the sync button. She likewise can transfer purchases to your account, thus you both can share content. All updates to Apps must be done using the same account originally used to obtain them. Log in, update, log out.

    I'm assuming you have the lastet OSX version 10.9 "Mavericks." Here are some useful links from Apple I think will help:

    I suspect you have a newer iMac than the pre-2006 models this forum covers (the forum labels are unbelieveably vague). If you can confirm that yours is newer than 2005, I can ask the Hosts to move you the the forum for current iMacs, which gets many more views.

  • What is the best way to set up multiple devices in the same household?

    Our family has a bunch of devices (phones,pads,pods) all set up under the same appleID.  The idea was to be able to share iTunes content among devices.  The problem is that there is personalized data merging between devices (address book, apps, etc).  Is there a way to set up multiple devices under the same account while maintaining their own identity so that Each user can have their own apps, addresses, etc without having to sift through everyone else's stuff?

    Continue to share your iTunes ID, but use different IDs for other services such as FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud.  (When you share the same iCloud account across multiple devices, any synced data is merged and the merged list appears on all devices sharing the account.)
    To change the ID For:
    iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
    FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    iCloud, you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.  Before deleting the account, 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 or you will lose them.  To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On [iDevice].  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, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want in each account (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

  • What is the best way to set up multiple Apple devices ?

    Lime many of us here I have quite a few apple devices and I just wondered whet the best way to set them up with itunes / Apple
    my Apple gear:
    Mac mini 2.53 with Mountain Lion
    Mac Mini 1.6 duo Snow Leopard
    Iphone 5c (mine) running 8
    Iphone 5c (wifes) running 8
    iPad 2 (old)  64 GB  running 8
    iPad Mini 2 retina  32 GB running 7
    g3 iMac (running Tiger) Juke box (semi retired ;-) now)
    At the moment all devices (apart from new Mac mini 2 and the old G3) are set up under my Apple ID ... (1 Apple ID for all devices) ... obviously this has problems : my wife downloads an App it will appear on my phone; we have had to disable some of the messaging systems as at one point my wife was getting my messages et ... is there a better way to do this?

    one drawback of same Apple ID for store is that what she downloads will automatically appear on all devices
    Do you mean the visibility of the purchase in the App Store (under purchases) or the installation of the app automatically on the other devices?
    In the App Store on the device (under iOS 8 at least on the iPad, I couldn't get it to work on my iPhone 5 under iOS 8), you can hide purchases...just swipe it to the left in the Purchased list. You can then unhide the hidden purchase(s) if desired by using iTunes on the PC/Mac under your iTunes account.
    Auto App updates (Automatic Downloads) can be controlled under: Settings/iTunes & App Store, scroll down to Automatic Downloads and disable those that you do not want.

  • Looking for best way to filter status or meter data from differently formatted text.

    With the product we design we are able to communicate via RS-232 ports. What I'm trying to do is filter out the data that is given by multiple differnt types of products that will give similar data back, but in a differnt format. Such that in a status command I'm looking for everything to be in a non failed state. But some items will show warning, failure, #.##w(for warning), or #.##f (for fail). But the format of each product is different. Also for a meter command I'm looking for a way to filter out just the numeric value for each phase amplitude, but once again the format will be different for each product. I have been able to pull this data out easy enough for an individual product but not on a wide product range with the same VI.

  • Looking for best way to edit 29.97 and 25 fps footage together.

    Hi everyone.
    I've looked on the boards, but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for.. any help is appreciated.
    I'm starting a job shot in Argentina, and they shot both 25fps and 29.97fps.  I believe they used DSLR cameras.
    I think the delivery format is web only, but am awaiting final word.
    Questions-
    Do I need to convert the footage to one frame rate, or will PPro handle the different rates in the same timeline without the footage looking awkward? 
    Can I just have PPro interpret the media as a different frame rate? 
    If I need to convert, would you please recommend best software?
    Would you recommend converting to 29.97 or 25?
    Thanks all. Much appreciated.
    Michael

    I am inclined to say edit 25fps and then the dropped frames of the 29.97 should not look too bad with most footage. You mileage may vary. It really depends on the footage. It could make it look choppy. But maybe better than 25 played at 29.97 using frame blending to make new frames out of thin air.
    Create your 25fps sequence from the 25fps footage. Then when you drop the 29.97 on it, it will automatically drop the frames necessary to make it 25fps.
    If, however, you are going to write it to DVD, you want to do that in the PAL or NTSC settings you would normally use for wherever it is that you live.
    By the way, if you interpret the 29.97 as 25 it will play back slower. Slightly slow motion. If you interpret the 25 as 29.97 it will appear fast.  Once again, it depends on the footage. If you shot objects (like travel stuff), then speed is not a huge deal, but if you shot people or animals it could make a huge difference.

  • Looking for best way to convert 35 mm slides to digital images

    Hello Apple Community,
    Am researching best ways to convert several hundred 35 mm slides into digital images.  There are numerous scanners/converters out there but want to ensure I get the best unit compatable with my iMac (27 inch, Late 2009).  Any suggestions welcome.

    For scanning 35mm slides you need a scanner with a good photometric resolution and geometric resolution.
    For the photometric resolution: Get a scanner with a high density range (D-max) value, to get a good resolution of highlights and shadows.
    For the geometric resolution - sharpness and detail - try to get at least 3200 dp,i to be able to get good 8"x10" prints from your scanned slides, a higher dpi value, if you want to be able to print larger images.

  • Looking for a way to set my own destination for default save as for pdf's

    Adobe reader always wants to save files I open online to a temporary directory and I would like to set a specific location on my C drive. It wouldn't be so bad, but Adobe resets after I save every file to trying to save to the temp directory even if I have another copy open that saves to the directory I want.

    None of the above.
    First, the specs for gigabit Ethernet would seem to be fast enough, but Ethernet is a packetized delivery system and the packets of data do not always arrive in the same order they were sent, and then they need t be re-ordered for video playback. Potential result: Dropped frames.
    Second, a PC cannot be used as a file server for Final Cut Pro editing.
    Third, having 5 or 6 computers banging away at a single computer would also tend to result in dropped frames.
    What you really need is a SAN, a Storage Area Network. Those tend to be pricey. There is an alternative that might be a bit more budget friendly, but it cannot be used the way you have specified.
    You could install external drive arrays on all computers and a gigabit Ethernet switch. Then use the Ethernet to copy needed files between systems. It is sometimes possible to edit from one workstation to another using gigabit Ethernet, but it invites dropped frames, so I don't recommend it.
    BTW, when you say SD, do you mean uncompressed 601 video, or DV? Uncompressed 601 video is 21 or 28 MB/sec/stream. DV is 3.6 MB/sec/stream. Big difference in overall bandwidth requirements for what you'd like to do.
    IMO, your best bet would be to bring in a consultant/technician who can spec out a system for you. Don't try to do it yourself.

  • Looking for best way to select a list of components

    I have a button that checks user input to make sure it's the right format.
    I want this button to extend a debugger type window... I was wondering if there was a class that someone could recommend to me.
    Inside the window being extended I want there to be a table with columns labeled "Error Message", "Input", "At", "ReplaceWith". The first three will be disabled text fields, but the fourth one i want to hold a textfield with a button... Any recommendations as to how to most efficiently implement a selectable row of components would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    i could always just fake a table via a class
    extending a JPanel with all the data in it & just
    have an array of this class & throw those into a
    bigger JPanel... if anyone knows of a better, cleaner
    way to do this, please let me know.Possibly better to use JDialog with a JTable rather than JPanel since my guess is that you want to present this information in a modal way (though I could be wrong).

  • Looking for best way to test for a program

    I like test path better. My problem is through all the different versions of office they cant all install to the same directory. Research time.

    I'm writing a script that will automatically install Outlook 2010 if Office 2013, 2010, 2007, or 2003 are not installed. It's part of a script I already have each tech has to run locally due to management decisions(that I have no control over). Right now I prompt the tech if they want to install it. Then test for the installer and install it.
    PowershellDo{$outlook = read-host "Would you like to install Outlook 2010? y/n" IF ($outlook -eq "y") { If (Test-Path -Path C:\Update\outlook2010) { saps -filepath C:\update\outlook2010\setup.exe -wait } Else { Write-host "Outlook is not in the update folder!" -ForegroundColor Red } }ElseIF ($outlook -eq "n") { Write-Host "Please make sure there is an email client." -ForegroundColor Yellow }}While ('y','n' -notcontains $outlook)What I would like to do is remove the prompt as it's a volume license...

  • Looking for a way to save space on iphone and maintain music in itunes

    Okay here is the problem, I own a macbook pro and a iphone 16gb and I have been using itunes to manage my music for a very long time and my library has grown into thousands of songs.
    Now, Is there a way to convert my music down to fit more on my iphone yet maintain my high bit-rate that I used to rip my CD's.
    I was thinking of converting all my music and having two of all my songs, high bit-rate(for playing on my stereo system) & and converted bit-rate(for my iphone) but I do not want genius to mess up and a crazily duplicated library.
    Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Angel-

    ALL of your problems are caused by not allowing your router to broadcast its SSID.
    Just turn that on and it will work just fine.
    Not broadcasting your SSID provides no real security. Guys who can hack your wifi will find your SSID via AirSnort in about 3 seconds flat.
    Broadcasting an SSID has NOTHING to do with turning off security.
    You already have wpa2 turned on. Leave it on, and simply tell the router to broadcast its SSID, enter the passphrase once more, and you will be a happy camper.

  • Is there some way to set up multiple iTunes accounts?

    I do audio/video editing. I have a huge collection of sound effects and a sizable collection of popular music. Here is what i'm looking to do …
    When i'm NOT doing my audio/video work, i'd like my iTunes to show only my personal song collection.
    When i AM doing audio/video work, i'd like my iTunes to show only my sound effects collection.
    Any ideas?
    Paul

    If the collections are totally different, hold down the option key while starting iTunes and make a brand new library.  Hold down option key while starting iTunes to switch between libraries.

At the moment my main drive is plugged in via usb to the mac, however id like to set up a proper mini network where i can at least share several drives between macs, HOWEVER i also want to back up this data via TC, which is why at the moment my hard drive is plugged into the mac, so it can be backed up. Am i correct is saying that TC will not backup netwrok drives?
    ..any suggestions for best way to set up a network with TC backing up drives?

    Yes.
    ..any suggestions for best way to set up a network with TC backing up drives?
    You could share the locally-connected drive.  That would require that your Mac be on whenever any other network client needed to access the drive.
