Multiple Apple ID's, which one should be main iCloud ID on iOS 5?

Hey! Seems like iCloud is a bit more complex to setup than I had thought it would be. Here's the situation. I have two Apple ID's. One is my @me.com account that I just migrated to iCloud. Second Apple ID is an @gmail.com account that I use for all of my iTunes purchases (also migrated to iCloud. I know you can have multiple Apple ID's setup in iOS (by means of "Mail, Contacts, Calenders"), but there is only room for one account under the "iCloud" tab/setting under iOS settings. Which one should be used here? My @me.com, or the one I use for iTunes purchases? ...or does it even matter? Just want to set everything up optimally from the start so I don't have to go back later and correct something.
Thanks all for your assistance!

Duplicate "Apple Loops for Garage Band"...which ones should I keep?

Hi. I've just started using GarageBand 3 (3.0.4), and noticed that I have duplicates of each and every instrument loop. Both Loops folders are located in my user:Library, one in "Audio" the other in "Application Support". Once you drill down to the actual "Loops" folder, the contents are exactly the same. Which one should I keep, which should I toss (it takes up a gig, which is why I want to toss one.)?

You have to locate your Loops Index files (good chance you have two folders with that name), then start GB and drag the loops that you still want into the Loops window for re-indexing.
Uh presumably after you have located the Index files and before you start GB, you are supposed to do something to the Index files (like delete them)? Maybe this was implied, but it was not explicit.

HT204053 Can you have multiple apple ids that access one itune account??

I need to know if I can have multiple Apple Ids attached to one itunes account. Trying to set facetime up on these separate devices and it keeps failing. Any help would be appreciated. I tried to add additional emails, but I all I get is verifying and it never verifies it.

yes you can still sync all the devices on itunes using one master itunes/appleID account.
Music:
If you want to select specific playlists for your kids, DON'T enable iTunes Match on their devices, otherwise they will get ALL the playlists on their devices (learned that the hard way)
If you have wi-fi synced enabled that should still work.
Apps:
I manually select which apps they get on their devices using itunes. It only changes when they re-sync.
Don't enable AUTO downloads on their devices for Apps or Music purchases.
Since I also have young kids using these devices:
I have restrictions setup on their devices. I don't allow them to install/delete apps, nor do I allow them to make any account changes on their devices. This way their devices stay in order and get backed up to icloud. I can easily restore their devices if I needed too.
Once in a while I will disable the restrictions so I can update all their apps.
Hope this helps!

I have a airport time capsule, an older airport extreme, and an airport express. I want to hard wire my Mac Mini to the network. What is the best arrangement of the devices? which ones should be hard wired to optimize extending the network?

I am using TM Unifi with an ASUS RT-N18U Wi-Fi router. I would like to know could I use Apple AirPort Time Capsule to extend (repeater, booster) my Wi-Fi to a part of the house where the Wi-Fi signal is poor
Yes,, if you plan to connect the AirPort Time Capsule to the ASUS router using an Ethernet cable connection that will remain fixed and permanently installed at all times.
No, if you were planning to have the AirPort Time Capsule connect wirelessly and extend the Asus WiFi signal, since it would not be compatible with another manufacturer's router for that purpose.
Another way of saying the same thing here would be that if you want to extend the network wirelessly, it will take two Apple routers to do so

Which One Should I Choose?

When I launch Disk Utility, I'm asked to select a disk, volume, or image. I'm enclosing a photo of my hard drives. For instance, if I wanted to repair disk permissions on "Hard Disk," there appear to be two choices. Choice one: Hard Disk icon. Choice two: Hard Disk icon and number 74.5 GB ST380021A
Which one should I choose to repair?
The same choices are given to the other two hard drives that I have. Two choices per hard disk?
I use a Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 (QuickSilver 2002); running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard.

Niel is correct, for repairing permissions etc you can use ether...
The upper icon (ST380021A) represents the device, the icon underneath it (Hard Disk) represents a partition, (you can divide the disk up into multiple partitions)
If you select the device, actions will affect all partitions, (i.e. fix permissions on all partitions on that device) whereas selecting an individual partition will only affect that one partition.
One thing that breaks this is the partition tab, which applies to the current device and all of it's partitions even if you are only selecting one if it's partitions.

Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
You can buy Snow Leopard at:
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You could contact Apple Support and see if they have the original discs for that machine but it would be 10.4.11 and there's no reason not to go to at least Snow Leopard, especially since the 10.6 discs would probably cost the same as a replacement set of 10.4.11

In general most macs you buy are the same. If you will be doing quite a lot of editing of photos and videos, then the big things to look for are:
Processor - 2.8ish GHz Intel i7 4-core - is about the best I have head of thus far.
RAM - fairly easy to upgrade yourself, but 16GB is typically more than you will need for the next 5 years at least.
iLife is reasonably good software for editing media, but as a photographer, you may have your own prefered software
The good thing about Apple is that they don't sell ****** computers in general. They offer little in the way of customization of hardware which is both their strength and weakness.

You don't. You can't combine Apple IDs.

How do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

how do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

I have multiple IDs and use the single computer sharing itunes. By 'sharing' I mean we open the pc, open itunes and log in with our individual ID as required.
While Im logged in I plug in my device. I transfer my purchases from my device as per the file menu (not the check for auto downloads). I move them as required to whichever playlist I like.
Then when my son wants to use itunes or update his device, he logs in, plugs in his device, transfers purchases from his device, puts whatever music he wants into his playlist and/or drags direct to the device regardless of who purchased it and then syncs.
Im not sure how it works associating the pc with only one ID or all that other business- I know I don't fiddle with any of that.

Why do I have both photoshop cc and photoshop cc (64 bit) in my menu? Which one should I be using?

Why do I have both photoshop cc and photoshop cc (64 bit) in my menu? Which one should I be using?

The majority of the time using the 64 bit version is better, since you have more resources available (ram)
If you need to run some older third party plugins that were only ever offered as 32 bit plugins, then the 32 bit version is the choice.
Or if you happen to use a scanner with twain, then the 32 bit version.

How about streaming different content to each ATV ? Can you playback Music on the One ATV and at same time play a movie on a other? Can you also start the streaming from the iTunes library on the mac (more than one title simultanously) or only start the different titles on each ATV?
Each "source" can only play one thing at a time, but you can have multiple sources on the same network simultaneously, going to different ATVs. For example, you can stream a movie from your iTunes library to one ATV, and at the same time stream music from your iPhone to another ATV. What you can't do is stream a movie and music from a single source (e.g. iTunes) +at the same time+.
