Looks like we have to choose between features and sharing a cloud id for backups

iOS8 completely messes up old "family sharing" method of sharing an itunes account
Location sharing doesnt work if you use the same iCloud to log into two separate devices. No way to log into Find My Friends separately it appears 

Find My Friends on iOS8
Answered here - it's a compromise but at least you keep your central iCloud sharing (photos / safari etc.) and can still find your devices.
All the best!

    I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won’t launch apps. When asked say “launch Facebook” Siri responds with “it doesn’t look like you have an app named Facebook” and I get the same results when trying to launch any app. Siri works for everything else it just won’t launch apps. Any ideas? Thanks.

    I have this same problem... Seems like nobody else does. Siri won't launch any apps for me, including native apps.

  • It looks like I currently share an apple id and account with my daughter.  Our phones are synched even alarms go off on each others phones.  I want to have my own account so this doesnt continue to happen.  How do I change my iphone to have its own id?

    It looks like I currently share an apple id and account with my daughter between iphones.  When I set my alarm it goes off on both phones and contacts are synched as well.  How do I seperate from  her account?

    According to Create an AppleID:
    Choose an Apple ID and password.
    Enter your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account. Please note that this email address must be verified before you can use certain Apple services.
    And, unless I'm missing something, it appears that you're trying to use your father's e-mail address. Start at Find your AppleID and see if you can resolve the issue.

    After updating my iPhone4s to the lastest update my photostream stopped updated onto my comuter.  From my phone it looks like pictures have been moved into the photostream folder... but they are not showing up on my computer.  Help!
    I have signed out then back into the cloud.  I have comfirmed location of the photostream folder.  I have have even restored settings on my phone.  any ideas on what I can do to get it working again?  or do I have to accept defect, and manually save my photos?

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

  • I've recently started to use Numbers but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use. Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone. Any guidance? Thanks.

    Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone.
    The only option I'm being given is to create an lCloud account.
    Any guidance? Thanks.

    The last thing you want is a second iCloud account. Try logging out and back in in System Preferences. If that doesn't work, I'd get AppleCare on the line.

  • Problem syncronizing my iPod Shuffle.  iTunes makes it look like I have 2.

    I have a new iPod generation 2 Shuffle. For some reason wnem I connect it to my USB port, it makes it look like I have 2 different iPod Shuffles. The first one shown under iTunes is as I registered it and says "Brad's iPod". The second one just says "iPod", yet shows the same serial number as shown under the first one with my name. I keep getting an error message when the second pops up and says that it seems that the iPod is corrupted and suggests I select the option to reset everything as it was with original factory settings. It prevents mefrom synchronizing my iPod.
    Why is this doing this? Is there anyway to delete the second "instance" of the iPod being shown under the name of simply "iPod"? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Has anyone had any luck returning there iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac....  Looks like folks have been having this problem for months

    Has anyone had any luck returning their iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac....  Looks like folks have been having this problem for months & months .. The Apple tech told me that all I could do is wait for Apple to come up with a fix... Got a new router this week so that isnt' it.  Would I be better off w/o this until Apple gets their act together?  I downloaded the combo update 10.7.3 & it helped for about a day...  yesterday I still had to manually reset the connection but now it's resorting back to disconnectiong w/o fully going into sleep mode first.  Sorry to say this is a major lemon.  Help!

    Seems unfair... I thought I was probalby having a router problem...  got a new router this week. Thst's when we realized we have a computer problem.  My next door nieghbor got zero sleep staying up all night while trying to help us figure out what the problem could be. He said if it were him he would have returned the iMac / Lion.  Got the new iMac w/ Lion for Christmas but didn't realize until this week that Apple is the problem....  Hard to believe that Apple just has kept on selling this like ... oh  No problem!  Can't stay on the internet... but will sell you another one today!  I'm getting mad...  It's not every day we spend that kind of money on a computer .  & ALL they can give us is that LOUSY Lion combo update.  I can't even stay connected long enough to make a vitamin order with Puritan's Pride...  & then the disconnection wipes out my cart... so I have to  start over. When are they going to fix this!   'Not feeling very positive'.  I feel like Apple KNOWINGLY sold my husband a defective... system.  14 days... oh please...

  • Any idea how i restore my office email account, looks like i have moved all items to trash and now have no email account ! no time machine either

    any idea how i restore my office email account, looks like i have moved all items to trash and now have no email account ! no time machine either

    let's go back to your original post: what do you mean "it looks like you moved all items to trash"??
    You DID move them to trash? (we can discuss WHY once we cure you)...
    Can you open a window in finder and get to  applications and then to utilities? Is MAIL in there?
    And your "office email account"-- do you mean physical office, like place of work and you want that account in your mac mail on your computer?  ~OR~ do you mean, microsoft office,mail account?
    The difference is necessary to know...

    Thank you for your swift reply. I don't know that this has helped me, as I've reached my level of tolerance for fooling with this annoying little problem - for today anyway. It has been going on since I "up" graded to Firefox 4. My wife is running 3.6.x on her laptop with none of this foolishness. As BLASPHEMOUS as it may sound, I've gone back to IE for the time being even though I don't like it 1000th as much as I do Firefox.
    Not just to rant here, I would say that I found a way to put some buttons on the right side of the toolbar that immediately gave me permission to "back, forward, and reload", but upon closing the browser and going out for dinner with the wife, I find on return that not only are those buttons NOT still on the toolbar, but I can't find them anymore. I think they were in "add-ons" found under I believe Add-On Manager.
    I did also manage to achieve back/forward functionality running Firefox in SAFE mode, but this meant no No-Script, among other things, and I've grown too fond of that particular little script to give it up.
    I've rebooted, restored, and reinstalled, can't get this formerly completely reliable program to work like it always has. Before looking around on here, I was beginning to think it was my PC.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, cor-el. I'm going to see if I can get on live chat on Monday.

  • I bought an app Camera  and it is installed in both IPhone4S and mini IPad, now I have also one IPhone 5s and this app doesn't  look like I have purchased it yet.

    I bought an app Camera+ and it is installed in both IPhone4S and mini IPad, now I have also one IPhone 5s and this app doesn't  look like I have purchased it yet.
    If I want to install I have to buy it again. Please, somebody has some advise?
    Thank you.

    Sorry, maybe I didn't express myself well.
    I have the same Apple ID in the 3 devices, iPad mini, iPhone 4s and iPhone 5s. In the 2 first the app camera+ is installed, but it is the unique app that doesn't show up in my purchased items in the iPhone 5s. If I want it I have to buy again. I really didn't understand what happened that I can't install it free again.
    Thank you. 

  • How does iPad choose between wifi and 3G when both are 'on'?

    Easy peasy question.
    I have 02 and Wifi going on my iPad. I know I can use 02 out and about and I know I can use wifi at home etc.
    But when I'm at home how do I make sure I'm using my wifi for data and not my cellular connection???
    I've been turning my cellular to 'off' when at home, just in case, but I don't want to have the faff of turning it off and on, so it would be nice to know how the iPad chooses between wifi and 3G when both data access points are active.
    Also I've had no wifi troubles at home at all. so far... The acid test will be setting it up at work as they have proxyies for everything, but obviously I don't have proxies at home. I'm not sure if the settings screen can cope with different proxies dependent upon different wifi networks... * grin *

    In the status bar I have
    a signal strength indicator then 'O2-UK' then the 'fan' No mention of 3G.
    I'm guessing you're going to say that when 3G is showing then 3G is being used for data?

  • I would like to know the difference between OEL and RHEL

    I would like to know the difference between OEL and RHEL, are they same?
    If I test any application on RHEL, will it work on OEL too.
    Thanks
    Edited by: user10685113 on 08-Aug-2012 05:35

    The name OEL as such is not used anymore, since the product was renamed from Oracle Enterprise Linux to Oracle Linux with the release of version 5.5 in September 2010.
    The main technical difference between Oracle Linux and RHEL is that Oracle Linux ships with an Oracle exclusive and optimized Oracle UEK kernel. It does however still install and provide the original and older RHEL kernel for fallback.
    As of Oracle Linux 5.6, the Oracle UEK kernel is the default kernel. The current latest version of Oracle Linux 6.3 uses the Oracle UEK2 kernel, which is based on the Linux 3 kernel (2.6.39).
    Oracle Linux is binary compatible with RHEL.
    Oracle Linux has several advantages over RHEL, in particular if you plan to use it to install Oracle products.
    • The same kernel UEK and UEK2 versions are available for Oracle Linux 5.x and 6.x
    You do not necessarily need to perform a complete and unsupported system upgrade to use a newer kernel version and drivers.
    • Oracle Pubilc YUM
    Oracle provides a public yum repository for installing software packages including the latest patches. RHEL does not and requires a paid subscription for online access.
    • Oracle specific drivers and software
    Oracle Linux provides additional software and kernel drivers, for Oracle clustering, Dtrace, BtrFS and ASM, which is not available for RHEL 6.
    Oracle Linux provides additional packages which trigger the automatic installation of system software prerequisites, including kernel parameters and oracle account setup to install Oracle Database:
    oracle-validated (Oracle Linux 5)
    oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall (Oracle Linux 6)
    And last not least you have just one vendor and support requirement for Oracle products.
    Have you checked the Internet:

  • On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches long and I cant seem to get rid of them.  Is my computer dying or being hacked

    On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches horizontally along the top and they cover half of the regualr bar (so half of the apple sign int he corner is covered) and I cant seem to get rid of them.  Is my hardrive crashing or being hacked?

    I have never seen DEVELOP on the menu bar for Safari, hence my query regarding testing. 
    What OS are you using and what version of Safari?
    If you want to check your HDD, Open Disk Utilities>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
    The only remedy that I can think of that may work is an OS reinstall.
    I seriously doubt that your MBP is being hacked.
