My spouse and I shared an apple id so we could share itunes purchases, we upgraded our phones to 4s, must we have separate Apple ID's in order for icloud to work properly?

My spouse and I have always shared our itunes account, we just purchased the iphone 4s and I was told we cannot use the same Apple ID if we want to use icloud. If this is true when one of us creates a new Apple ID, will we lose our purchases made on itunes?

I'm not sure if this answer is correct, but I would think that the one who uses a new ID will lose the purchases as these purchases are associated with the other ID.
Just my two cents... iCloud is not a great service in it's current state. In my opinion, Googles services are just as good, if not better, and they work on the iPhone. That is not to say that iCloud won't improve over the coming months or years. But until it does, I'm more that happy using Googles mail, contacts and calendar.

TS3195 My Ipod is reading "Ipod is Disabled. Connect to Itunes.." So i have to restore my Ipod in order for it to work. My question is how can i retrieve all my photo's taken on my Ipod before restoring it to its manufacture state?

My son decided to play with my ipod for his amusement and starting entering multiple codes as a password. Even though i had already set the option not to lock after multiple attempts, it ended up disabling anyway. So now my Ipod reads "Ipod is Disabled, Connect to Itunes." I connected it to Itunes and all i get is another error message saying:"The Ipod is locked and can not connect to Ipod." After reading multiple articles turns up i have to restore my ipod to its manufactured state. Before i do that i want to see if anyone can help me in retrieving or transferring over all my photos that were taken on that Ipod before i can even start the Recovery/Restore process. PLEASE HELP!
Thanks in advance to all who reply :-)

There is no way to get them from a disable iPod. That is pat of the security offered by the screen-lock passcode.
- If the photos were on the iPod when y last backed up you can resore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- If you use PhotoStream yo may be able to get them from your stream. For how see:

HT201269 Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account

Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?

Yes.
On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

How can I switch on my Apple TV speakers when it asks "multiple speakers" I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work?

How can I get my Apple TV airplay to work from my PC. On the airplay symbol it says Multiple Peakers please choose but I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work from my PC. Everything is OK when using my Ipod touch.

Don't use Multiple Speakers option and just choose the AppleTV
What are you trying to Airplay? If it's iTunes content it's simpler to 'pull' the stream from the Computers icson on AppleTV by selecting the libarry and media.
If you are attempting to Airplay the desktop you can't.

If I upgrade my iMac G4 from Tiger OSX 10.3.9 to Leopard OSX 10.5 will Firefox work properly as it will not allow me to upgrade and so I am losing out on much of what Firefox does?

The message is That I am using an older version of Firefox but I can't upgrade to the most recent version (within the last year) and I am losing the ability to do things. For example, I can't send out emails from Gmail now, the type on the screens of many web sites is squeezed small and some web pages are "scrambled" in appearance. Before I purchase an upgrade to the Leopard OSX 10.5 I would like to know if Firefox works properly with it?

Well, with a PPC Mac you can upgrade as far as Firefox 3.6.19 if you upgrade from Tiger OSX 10.3.9 to Leopard OSX 10.5, but Firefox doesn't support PPC architecture in the latest Firefox 4, 5, and 6.0 versions.
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0 & 5.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
But, you still need to carefully investigate if your hardware specs are sufficient for either Firefox 3.6.19 or for 10-4Fox.

HT5622 My wife and I shared an Apple ID, have closed out iTunes on her iPhone and iPad but will not allow her email address to be associated with a new account even though it does not appear anywhere in my information. Any suggestions.

My wife and I shared an Apple ID, I have closed out the iTunes on her iPhone and her iPad. While trying to set up a new iTunes account when I enter her email address it says we have to select a new email address. I have checked and her email is not associated with my iTunes account and really do not want to establish another email account. Any suggestions?

Hi Stateler74,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You might be able to find the Apple ID that her email address is associated with by following this article's instructions:

I had to restore my computer. After reinstalling itunes and sincronizing with my ipod, the music files were not organized in itunes as in the ipod: some songs were missing, some albums has no cover? Why is the sincronization not working properly?

Use separate Apple IDs for each family member and use Family Sharing features of those things (if any) that you do want to share. https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/

I cannot find the eMac install disk, and I haven't been able to get it to start up from my 10.3 CDRm (holding down option or c), though I read something somewhere about these not being able to start up from system folders earlier than those they shipped with. I've dealt with this sort of thing several times before, and it always seemed to work to simply use target disk mode.
It definitely won't start up fromt the 10.5 DVD-R, and I'm pretty sure I tried putting the MBP into TM to use its optical drive as well, but it didn't work. But it's worth trying again, and I appreciate your input greatly.

Where are iTunes files located?
No, I do not mean just the music. Copying just the media/music files or the media folder creates problems.

HT5622 Can you share ITunes purchases across multiple Apple ID's within a family? I want to share my music library and apps with my kids, but not have their ipones tied to my Apple ID. What's the best set-up to accomplish this?

Can you share Itunes purchases with family members without them using your Apple ID?
