Multiple iTouches in the house

My wife and I both have iTouch 4g. She just bought a few songs on itunes and it downloaded sucessfully to her itunes and iTouch. Can I get them on my iTouch without having to buy them again? We have different Apple ID's though. I saw there is a "Home Sharing" under Settings, is that what I need to do? Do I enter her ID and password...?
Thanks.
Doc

Yes, you can use home sharings. See:

I have multiple macs in the house is there any way to get them all to sync

Hi, I have 4 macs in my house and I was wandering whether there is a way to get them all to sync for all aspects; settings, software, iTunes. Everything. Does this involve getting a hard drive or server which they all run-off, if so (or even if this is not the case) what solutions are there and how much do they cost?
Thank you

I use MobileMe to keep contacts, settings, calenders, bookmarks, and keychains in sync and Dropbox to keep my documents folder and 1password in sync.

Mpd Throughout the House

I know there's a lot of mpd users on here. So I thought I'd see if anyone has any experience with getting playback in multiple rooms in the house without having a computer in each room. Oh ya, and I'm cheap so I'm not looking to spend much And I have a laptop on a wireless network here, so I'm not real concerned with being able to control it from every room.
I know there's wireless devices for transmitting audio and/or video but they do cost a bit and I've yet to find any that don't use 2.4Ghz.
I think it was the mpd forums where I saw someone mention they had built 1/8" jack to rj45 converters to use existing network cabling running from the closet with the mpd server to distribute the sound. I thought that was pretty cool, but I have no idea how to do that :?
Anyways, not something real important. Just something I've been wondering about and thought I'd see if the creative minds around here have come up with anything to do something like this.

On my last computer I cut up my computer speaker wire, ran it to a 12V Alpine car amp running on a deep-cycle battery which was powering a 12" Alpine sub and two 6x9". It was just an experiment, mucking around with some mates stereo gear while his car was in getting painted. Story juice: maybe something like this but less drastic could work for you, just run speaker wire through the roof into a couple of decent-quality speakers in each room. To split the signal that much you'd probably need some sort of amplifier to keep good sound quality. It's an idea at any rate

Multiple users, devices & Apple IDs in the house. Can we, and how would we, use Home Sharing?

We have three users in the house, each with their own Apple ID, using multiple mac/PC devices. Can we and how would we use Home Sharing to share music, apps, etc?

Do you have a computer. You can't share music or apps from one mobile device to another. To share photos you need to use photo stream shared albums.

Can you sent music from itunes to multiple ATV2 devices throughout the house at once?

I have multiple Apple TV2's throughout the house and at times I want to play music from itunes and send to all devices can you do that?

Each device is like a separate radio or TV. Select the music you want to listen to from each device. This can be th same album, song, playlist, etc. or completely different selections.

How do I open the same ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station for multiple computers at the same time?

As the title suggests...
I have a mix of five Mac and PC's at home using an Airport Extreme Base Station as the router.   I need many ports opened on the AEBS for all of the computers- not just one computer. (for example: three people want to play TF2 on Steam at the same time; each machine needs the correct ports open on the router).   Port forwarding only allows me to forward a given port to a single IP, yet I need that port open for five differnt IP's, all at the same time.
How do I do that on an AEBS?
In the same way, I have a small office of four iMacs using an old airport with the same exact issue.   I would like to be able to connect to all of them remotely with Apple Remote Desktop, but the port forwarding on the airport only allows a port to forward to a single IP.   I want to be able to tunnel into the office network and log onto any machine behind the Airport extreme... not just a single IP.    I currently have it set up where I can tunnel into the office from my house, I can find the one machine that the port forwarding has been assigned to, I can log on and everything is just fine... with one machine.    How do I open the firewall for the other machines?
TL,DR version: How do you open ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station instead of forwarding ports?   Forwarding ports doesn't work for multiple IP's.

You can open a single or multiple ports to a single device or different ports to different devices, but you cannot open the same port to multiple devices via the AirPort Utility for the Apple routers.

After opening a new tab, when I click on my home page (the house icon), it duplicates and opens a second window...it's never done this before?

I just installed Firefox on a new laptop. Google is my home page. My opening tab is always Google. But, when I open a New Tab, it doesn't open in Google. So, I've always clicked on the house icon to take me straight to Google. Now when I do, TWO tabs open in Google. (it duplicates)

I tried all of the above, I've reinstalled Firefox and I've checked if value set to 3 in browser.link.open_newwindow which it is, but the problem still happens.
Regarding what you say re what is written in the article Tab preferences and settings, I understand what this means. However I am using FireFox in my work. I have a CRM where I constantly click on a button that automatically opens my order system on a new tab, or email templates in a new tab etc. The tab opens next to the tab I am currently on. However ever since I was prompted to Refresh Firefox earlier, it now opens these in a new window. Therefore the size of these pages has nothing to do with it, as this was not a problem before.
This is irritating, as no I have to go from one window to another, and where I have multiple tabs open it is making my life difficult.
Not happy!

Ok geniuses, I have a problem that I am fairly certain is user error somehow.   I have an iPhone 4S.   I have a linksys router.   My wifi runs fine with every device in the house.   However, ONLY on my iPhone, it ALWAYS makes me put my password in.

We have another iPhone 4 in the house and it reconnects to the wifi just fine. The kindle, the laptop, the Xbox all reconnect fine. However, for some reason, my iPhone 4S makes me type in the wifi password multiple times a day.   It will connect and works fine while connected.   However, if I let it go to sleep, when I unlock the screen my wifi is "not connected".   I have to deselect the router and retype the password.   If something is using wifi like I heart radio or pandora or an update is downloading, it won't switch off the wifi, but in any other circumstance if the screen locks up and goes to sleep, when I unlock it I will need to reselect my network and retype the password. I have been dealing with this for months and have googled several times for a solution with no success. I'm pretty sure that when I was first setting up the wifi, I changed some setting on either the phone or the
router, but of course I can't figure out what I might have done. Please help!

I read the article thanks.   I tried the settings-general-reset-reset network settings-reboot system-go to wifi settings-select wireless connection-select the ">"-symbol-select auto for http proxy.   I was optimistic about that because I thought I changed some setting somehow to cause this problem, but it didn't work. More specifically, I did connect successfully and browsed the Internet for a good while, but then I put down the phone for a minute, the phone went into sleep/power save mode, and when I picked it back up a moment later it was no longer connected. Dang.   Had to select the connection and use my password yet again.
Another valuable bit of info for you.   The only network with which I have this problem is my home.   I use all kinds of devices at home and no other devices have this problem. Also, I use this iPhone all over with various wifi networks at hotels and starbucks and family's homes with no issues whatsoever. It remembers and automatically reconnects with every wireless network except the one in my own house.

How can I install one app on multiple iPads at the same time?

We have a volume purchasing account, but when purchasing an app we get multiple serial numbers that all seem to need to be entered individually. The iPhone config Utility will not sync multiple iPads at the same time. Am I missing something? This cannot be the method for mass deployment, it seem too complicated.

You can do a backup of you iPad then restore the backup to many devices.

How do I set up my Time Machine and Mac Mini with Lion Server so i have one wifi loop in the house?

HELP!
So I have had a Time Machine wifi loop at the house for approx. 6 years. I run two Macbooks, 2 iPhones, 2 iTouch and a Samsung Smart Blueray on the loop.
I just bought a Mac Mini with Lion Server. When setting it up I'm not sure what or how I managed to do, but I now have 2 wifi loops, one doesn't lock and niether will support the Samsung BlueRay. Also, each time I want to go online with one of the other Mac devices i have to relog into the wifi loop.
Can someone please walk me through the fix. The mac Mini is plugged straight into the Time Machine to recevie its internet connection.
Thanks!
John

You often see this limit of 10 clients in wireless hotspots but I have yet to see it in an adsl modem.. most strange way to pay for a service that is really irrelevant how many clients you use.
Have a go .. I recently setup a TC to help a guy run his Roku.. and this setup worked well.. I have no idea if it can work in your case.
Lets say the IP you get is 192.168.2.1-10 .. doesn't matter what it really is. And the adsl modem is 192.168.2.254
(Assuming they are private addresses.. if they are public IP you can just use the DHCP and NAT. )
But go to the airport utility.. I think you need to run v5 at least to change DNS.. but you can do the same thing in v6 using static but no dns changes.
Now you set the IP of the TC manually.. This address might need to be in the dhcp range of the modem to work. You can set the DNS to same IP as the router address.. ie home address of the modem. Or you can use another DNS.. whatever you like.
Then set DHCP for clients that will join.. this can then expand the scope of addresses..
It worked without a NAT error.. although I am not sure exactly how.. on paper it should not be able to work but did.. have a go.. otherwise there is perhaps another way.. but it is complicated.
Give us an example from a computer plugged into the modem of what IP .. subnet mask .. Gateway and DNS you get. Then I can fine tune the values for it.

I have one modem in the house but I need 2 different networks.

I have one modem in the house but I need 2 different networks that will not communicate or even see each other. The first network is the one that needs to be the most secure. The computers are used for personal information, documents, pictures, Apple TV and iTunes home sharing.(3 Apples, 3 iPads, 3 iPhones and 4 Apple TVs) The second network needs to be for the 3 computers and gaming systems used for social games on Facebook, PSP, XBox, and a gaming system used for World of Warcraft. The social interactions seem to be the ones that have picked up most of our computer network issues and I would like to be able to isolate them from any communication with our home network (2 PCs and 1 Mac). Is there a way that I can use 2 different routers along with blocking any bluetooth and/or bonjour connections? I am not worried about a networked printer for the second network, it is more to try and contain any issues that may slip though virus protection and create a mess with our home systems. It would be nice to still be able to set up a Guest Network for the herds of kids and adults to use when visiting as well. PLEASE tell me this can be done.
Thank You
Christine

Christine,
Apple may be able to do some, but not all of what you want to do.
The dual band AirPort Extreme can create a main, or "private" network and a separate "guest" network. The private network can be configured to handle both wired and wireless clients. The "guest" network works only for wireless clients.
Computers, devices, etc on the "guest" network cannot "see" or communicate with any of the devices on the main or "private" network. But, it is possible to allow clients on the "guest" network to see other devices on the "guest" network, so a wireless printer on this network would allow anyone on the "guest" network to be able to use the printer if you need that functionality.
You can "extend" the "main" network using more wireless devices if you need more wireless coverage. The "guest" network cannot be extended.
Depending on the level of service you have with your ISP, you may have bandwidth issues with two networks and multiple devices all trying to use the Internet connection. I would think that a 25-30 Mbps connection would be the bare minimum to handle what you want to do and 50 Mbps would be advised.
If you want to use two separate routers, you are really looking at a commercial type installation best handled by commercial products like Cisco, so that might be the place to look.

Multiple possibilities for the same response

Is it possible to make an IF statement accept multiple responses in a console application...
Example: In this piece of code, I have an if statement that only accepts OK as a response, and I don't want to make the same piece millions of times just to match most peoples way of saying yes.(Example: OK, Yes, Affirmative all in the same IF)
if (Console.ReadLine() == "OK") // This is the part where I want to Implement that feature of my game
Console.WriteLine("You are in you're house, your room messy like hell.\nYour mom told you to clean your room to get out of your room");
if (Console.ReadLine() == "Clean up Room")
Console.WriteLine("Room is cleaned up, you can now go out to play.");
Console.ReadLine();
else
Console.WriteLine("I don't understand.");
Console.ReadLine();

There are any # of ways to solve this issue. When you have code that you want to reuse then consider moving it to a function. It can then be called as needed. If you want to loop through the same block of code over and over again then use a do-while
or a while loop.
For the specific case where you want multiple conditions to cause a set of code to execute then you can use the logical operators && and ||. But since you're specific example is calling a function you'll need to first store the results of the
function in a variable that you can then compare against multiple results (so the function doesn't execute multiple times). This is another good case for a function.
For your specific case you are actually building a state machine so it probably makes more sense to go that route. In a state machine you define the different possible states (InHouse, AtHouseDoor, etc). For each one you define a set of possible "inputs"
that will trigger a response. The response is generally the transition to a new state. For example if the user is in front of the door to a house you might be in the AtHouseDoor state. For this state you might define the inputs like "Open",
"Enter", "Use Door", etc. For all these inputs you would transition to the InHouse state. Moving to a new state would trigger some sort of output to the user. State machines make it a lot easier to manage the states of
your app and extend them as needed.
Implementing a state machine isn't too hard but you'll probably do better to use either an existing state machine (Workflow has one and I believe several people have created C# versions as well) or using a simple dictionary that maps states to a list of
inputs along with their actions (functions).

Can iTunes handle multiple versions of the same app?

Now that iTunes, iOS, and iDevices have been around long enough for users to have multiple devices on multiple iOS versions, is Apple doing anything to allow users to run multiple versions of the same app through iTunes?
Case in point I have an older iPhone running iOS-5 with a few apps that are now running exclusively on iOS-7, my new iPhone is on iOS-7. Once I sync my new phone with the updated versions of the app, iTunes usually dumps the old version into the trash bin. But what if I need that older version to continue running it on my iOS-5 iPhone?
Is there a workaround for this? I've considered using an old PC as my base computer for sycning the new iPhone, but I still fear that the new app updates will go to all devices running on my iTunes account through iCloud.
If Apple doesn't address this problem at some point then as the years go by certain iDevices will eventually become completely useless even if they are a fully functional piece of electronics.
(spare me the "that's their plan, corporate greed" replies).
Thanks in advance!

Yes, the apps SHOULD be developed to work with the new stuff, No, not all apps keep their old versions in the App Store, BUT, finally Apple has ALLOWED developers to have multiple versions of an App in the store.
The problem isn't about retarding development, it's about Apple trying to force users to buy new things that they don't need because the old thing, though it works just fine & has the apps that you need, is unable to be used because the apps have been updated in iTunes. Why can't you allow me to keep Facebook 5.0.1 for my old iPhone 3G that is used as an iPod, Facebook 6.7.2 for my iPod Touch & Facebook 19.6.4 for my new iPhone 8? As of now I can download the old version on the old device, but when I sync it it always tries to 'Update' it & then says 'Can't be updated because this version is incompatible with this device' making the sync take 3x as long & meaning that if my device crashes for some reason or I choose to restore it becasue of problems I have to go find the old version, hoping that I saved it, delete the new version, drag in the old version, THEN sync & then move the old version back before updating from my other device (Having done this with the 3G & iTouch 4 for years I learned that when the sync transfers purchases from the phone it 'replaces' the file instead of moving the old 1 to the trash).
Some of these apps I have purchased, & by forcing the update to remove the old version Apple is essentially taking something I have purchased & saying I am no longer allowed to use it.
Just in the what 3 months since the new iOS came out I have noticed that now over half of the apps can't be run on my iPod Touch 4G.
It's simple, iTunes should either:
Keep a record of the devices that have synced (I know, it already does) & keep the newest version for the lated iOS in iTunes
Let users have multiple versions of the same app in iTunes & allow us to disable update checks for certain apps
Allow users to choose to download from iTunes the different versions of the apps available from the developer
OR
Allow users to edit the info on Apps, unlinking them from their original & updates & allowing users to keep an old version & still download a new 1

Apple tv on multiple tvs at the same time

I just purchased an iPad 2. I am interested in adding apple TV to my home. My questions are: If I had a apple tv for each of my TVs, would it possible to play videos on multiple TVs in my house simultaneously? Also, Would there be a way to use a second iPad on the same apple TV signal? Any information would be great.

If the content was in iTunes and compatible you could have a computer running itunes and each AppleTv would be able to play iTunes content.
If stuff was bought from iTunes store and available in the cloud in your country you wouldn't need a computer on and could stream iTunes Store purchases from the internet provided your connection was adequate.
