My iMessage for my iPad and 3 iPhones are merged
When I used iMessage on my iPad for the first time it merged the messaging for all three of my iPhones and my iPad. How do I undo this and make each device unique again?
Hi,
There have been no updates recently.
You would also know if the computer had stopped for an Update.
On the Mac in the Contacts App in the Contacts Menu > Accounts is it shown to be using iCloud to Sync the info between all devices ?

I have different apple ids for my ipad and iphone - how do i sync so that the apps appear on both devices, e.g errands
If both accounts are authorised on the computer's iTunes that you sync them to, and the relevant apps are on that computer, then you should be able to sync them to both devices. The apps will be tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so only that account will be able to download updates to them.
If you log into the other account on a device and re-download its apps onto them then you risk tying the device to that account for 90 days (and similarly redownloading on a computer's iTunes) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 -
If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well? I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.
No, it only mirrors changes to synced data. This includes mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari bookmarks, notes, iWork documents and data, and photo stream photos (assuming you choose to sync all this data). Changes to iTunes data such as music, apps, podcasts, etc., are not synced using iCloud. In your example, if you delete an app from one device it will remain on the other until deleted there too.

I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.
You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

I bought "Pages" "Keynote" and "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and iPhone
I bought "Pages" "Keynote" and "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and iPhone and now I have a new iMac but the Apps didn't install? I thought when you bought an App that is on one device it would be available on all other devices? The App store is now wanting me to pay for the Apps again? Is this right? Do I have to buy another version of these Apps for the iMac?
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
That is determined by what type of disk that it is. It may be a disk that only allows you to install Windows on your Dell computer and would not allow Windows to be installed on a Boot Camp partitition or as a virtual machine in an app such as VirtualBox on your Mac. If that is the case, you would need to purchase a retail Windows install disk. -
iCloud is not updating my desktop with new iCal and Contacts updates. How do I get the information to download from iCloud to this device?
The desktop is OS X 10.7.5. My MacBook Air is OS X10.8. iPad and iPhone are iOS6. My Apple ID on the OS devices is different from the 2 computers in that they use a .me address. Thanks to anyone who can help.OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Hi everyone,
This is my first post so if I've made any mistakes please forgive me. I have recently upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8.1 Professional however, now my iPad and iPhone are not recognised in iTunes. I have checked Device Manager and the iPad is listed, I also asked it to update the driver but it informed me that I have the most up to date version. Can anyone help please?Hi Skydiver119,
Many thanks for your prompt reply however, I found this post and it worked perfectly. I hope it helps other users.
Plug your Ipad USB cable into USB port.
Go to your Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, then click Device Manager.
Click on Portable Devices, and you should see Apple Ipad shown (or whatever apple device your using).
Right-click the Apple Device your using, and choose Update Driver Software..
Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.)
In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.
Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly. -
IMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?
iMovie for my iPad and iPhone will not export movies how do I fix this?
Same here. Have exported a handful of movies before..faced this issue for the first time a few days ago. What footage are you trying to edit and export? (E.g. Shot with camera app, other social media apps like Snapchat, Vine, Instagram?)
I did some troubleshooting..
I was putting together all saved videos from Snapchat.. no luck. Export screen comes up, but progress bar doesn't move.
Mixed some footage in there shot with actual iPhone camera app.. no luck.
Removed all Snapchat footage.. it worked straight away.
BUT ... it would make sense if I didn't just compile a bunch of Snapchat vids a few weeks ago and export them just fine?
So it's something to do with the actual footage I assume? -
Do I need a 240 to 120v power converter for my iPad and iPhone when I am in Germany?
On a Viking River Cruise boat do I need a 240v to 120v power converter for my iPad and iPhone chargers?
All Apple chargers work from 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz power. All you will need is a plug adapter for the country you are in.
BTW - You can use your iPad charger to charge your iPhone, and it will charge the iPhone faster.

My devices, iPad and iPhone, are not updating automatically with pages. Any suggestions. They use to update beautifully about one week ago. I took my MacBook Pro to the Apple store for software issues, and I been having updating issues. Little help please.....
Welcome to the Apple community.
Check all your devices still have documents and data syncing turned on in settings > iCloud and that iCloud is enabled at settings > Pages. If this doesn't help, reset documents & Data from a computer at...

what are the chances of Apple developing an ipen for the iPad and iPhone? The pen for the Samsung galaxy works better than any capacity pen on an iphone or ipad.
This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple. We have no way to know what and when Apple will do something. You'll have to wait for an announcement by Apple.
Send feedback/suggestions to Apple.

Advice on improving graphics for app for both iPad and iPhone
I am creating an app for both iPad and iPhone 4 and it looks terrible on the iPhone 4.
I have created the Flash File in Flash CS5.5 IDE with Movie Size 1024 x 768 and I am using the following AIR for IOS settings:
Rendering: CPU
Device: iPhone and iPad
Resolution: High
All my graphics are vector so I assumed that it would look crisp on both devices. It is not as perfect looking on the iPad as it appears on my PC monitor but I can live with it. I can't however live with the iPhone 4 appearance.
I am therefore seeking advice on how to improve the iPhone 4 appearance.
As far as I am aware, there is not a way to use 2 sets of graphics, one for each device. Please correct me if this is wrong and it would offer me a solution.
Would doing all the graphics as PNG be a solution?
Btw I am using AIR 3.2 SDK if that has any relevance and my graphics are static.
Thanks in advance.Thank you for the swift reply Colin. I do not recall setting a stage.quality setting - is the default setting low?
I did a quick google search and see this appears to be the code I need. I assume I put this in the first frame of my Flash movie?
stage.quality = StageQuality.MEDIUM;
Thanks

How do I know if my PC, Ipad and Iphone are backed up in Icloud?
Howw do I know if my Macbook Pro, Ipad and Iphone are backed up in the cloud?
How can I seeor know what's in my Icloud?For the iPad and iPhone, ohhh say go to your ipad "General" - "iCloud" - Look below "Back Up Now" ... you should see last backup date and time. If you continue into "Manage Storage" (located above "Buy More Storage" you should see each device and amount of space used for each.

I can't update the software on my desktop because it's too old and no stores seem to have the "bridge" disc I need to upgrade my current system. So, I need to transfer my synch abilities for my iPad and iPhone from my desktop to my newer, more up-to-date laptop. What is the best way to do this? I have the apple base station also.

My MacBook Pro was stolen last night. I need the serial number. It is not showing up on my devices list. My iPads and iPhones are. I have used it to to sync my phones and pads as well having it registered with apple. Any thoughts? Thanks
Click here: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
Then file a police report and nail the b*****d. -
How is iMessage used on iPad and iPhone?
I have set up iMessage on my iPad and iPhone, but still don't know how it is used. I tried sending a message, but after entering the contact of the person, send doesn't seem to be highlighted. What could be the problem?
From an iPad, iMessage will only work between another iOS device or OS X computer. So if the recipient does not have an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Mac computer (and must have it set up to use messages) then it will not work.
On an iPhone, you can still send a message as an SMS to another mobile phone (ie. a mobile phone other than an iPhone) as long as you have the option "Send as SMS" enabled. If the iPhone detects the "to:" address as registered to another iOS device, it will use Apple's services and send as an iMessage, otherwise it will send as SMS (if possible).
