New to Apple - Need help. Here is the breakdown. I just got my wife a iPhone 4s and I'm trying to decide how to set it up. Should she get her own Apple ID or use mine? This for some reason is very confusing to me.
Here is the breakdown. I just bought my wife a new iPhone 4s and I'm trying to decide how to set it up for her. Should she have her own Apple ID or use mine? If she uses my Apple ID, will that cause issues with iMessage - say when I'm chatting with someone else and vice a versa. Will our messages show up on each others devices? How will a FaceTime call work? Will the video call come across both our devices (ipad also)?
Just some information that might be of note:
I have the new iPhone 4s, iPad2 and one iTunes account - the iTunes account is my Apple ID which I use also for the iCloud (I think...it's getting murky
What am I trying to achieve is having the ability for me (iphone, ipad) and my wife (iphone) to be able to share and sync just music, apps, movies, etc... I have Google Calender and I have not made up my mind yet if we will share a contacts list (I have large business list). Also this might be of note, I most likely will be using iTunes on my LG LCD TV (appleTV) at some point in the near future.
So, basically I'm confused, which is not unusual for me. If I'm thinking to much inside the box, please let me know and feel free to offer up any suggestions. Even if the suggestion is I'm not asking the right questions. Of course if that is your suggestion, then please tell me the question. And an answer would be nice to.
Thanks.

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too. -
I have an iPhone and sync it with iTunes. Just got my wife an iPhone also. Is it possible to have 2 accounts in iTunes 1 for my wife and 1 for myself? I don't want to mess up things like contacts on either phone.
The best is to create another Windows user profile(additional User Account) where each one of you can manage your own account, library, playlist Apps, Contacts etc,

New to Forms, need help in Installing the Summit Application
Can someone guide me in installing Summit appl. and a runtime env. configuration. I am using 10g Dev. and 10g DB.
I have put the complete summit folder (got it from OTN) in C:/ and was successful in importing the summit data from the command line.
the problems i am facing are:
*Should i directly point to the summit folder in the c:/ while entering values for forms_path in the registry?
*next point in the readme file says
compile the application. The file gen.bat will generate files under microsoft windows. What application should I compile and how?
Runtime environment configuration
# Summit Application
Alias /summit/ "C:\summit/"
*this has to be added to the HTTPD.CONF file in Apache.
But i have found this file in my pc at this loc: (C:\DevSuiteHome_1\perl\site\5.6.1\lib\Apache) Is this the same file?
[summit]
IE=JInitiator
archive_jini=f60all_jinit.jar,/summit/RoundedButton.class
userid=summit/summit@<connect_string>
form=customers
pageTitle=Summit
splashScreen=no
lookAndFeel=oracle
separateFrame=false
width=994
height=582
serverapp=/summit/summit_reg
envFile=summit.env
the above is to be added to the FORMSWEB.CFG file, which i found. can i just change the connect_string and add it at the bottom of the file that i view in notepad. or do i have to fit it in somewhere in between the existing code in the file.
PLEASE HELP!!The first thing you must realize is that this Demo is very old and was created for a very old Forms version (6.0.x). At least three new releases have come out since this demo was created.
The documentation for the demo is specific to that old version. Every reference to "60" should be removed. For example a reference to FORMS60_PATH has now been changed to FORMS_PATH. This applies to ALL variables.
The same applies to file names. For example f60all.jar is now frmall.jar. Same is true for f60all_jinit.jar, which is now frmall_jinit.jar.
So, as you can see copying the README word for word is going to cause you problems.
Here is an overview of what you likely need to do based on your last update:
1. Verify that you successfully imported the database objects related to the demo. Login as summit and see if the tables and data actually exist. If not, this should be corrected first.
2. Whether you use default.env or summit.env is entirely up to you. If you choose to use default.env, the only thing I can think of that would need to be changed is the FORMS_PATH. Add the path to where your FMX, MMX, and PLX files will be located.
If you choose to use summit.env, copy the file to ..\forms\server (this is the same directory where you will find default.env). Open this file in a text editor. You will need to change all of the "60" references like I previously mentioned. You will likely also need to change the value of ORACLE_HOME as well as many others. This is why using the existing default.env would probably be easier.
If you carefully read the contents of summit.env, you should be able to understand what needs to be changed. I'm sure many of the directories noted in the file won't even exist. You need to set them to the equivalent on your system.
3. If you plan to use a "gen.bat" file to compile the application, you will likely need to open it in a text editor first. Verify that FORMS_PATH, ORACLE_HOME, PATH and all other variables are correctly set.
4. If you are using Developer Suite there is no Apache, so setting the Alias is a little different. However, as previously mentioned, this is unnecessary anyway IF you copy the demos CLASS and JAR files to the ..\forms\java directory. You will then not use the Alias reference in your ARCHIVE and ARCHIVE_JINI entries. For example simply do this:
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,RoundedButton.class
archive=frmall_jinit.jar,RoundedButton.class
5. As mentioned, your formsweb.cfg entries will look like this and should be at the bottom of the file below the existing entries:
[summit]
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,/summit/RoundedButton.class
userid=summit/summit@ORCL
form=customers
pageTitle=Summit
splashScreen=no
lookAndFeel=oracle
separateFrame=false
width=994
height=582
serverApp=summit_reg
envFile=summit.env
The reference to serverApp is for access to the .dat file, which I will assume you have in your C:\summit directory. Again, remove the Alias reference and copy the file within the Oracle Home where the original is found. If the demo .dat file is named "Registry.dat", rename the original so you can revert back to it later.
This file should be stored in:...\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry
If you really want to create the Alias and follow the instructions as closely as possible, you will find that the Alias should be configured in the following:
...\j2ee\DevSuite\application-deployments\forms\formsweb\orion-web.xml
Use the existing entries as an example. Your entry will look something like this:
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/summit" real-path="C:\summit" />
If you are new to all of this, I would recommend that you flip through some of the documentation. Starting with a demo before understanding how the product works is probably not the best approach. Here are some references to useful documentation. References to additional documentation can be found in link on these pages. Be aware that most documentation which was created for Forms 9.0.4 will still apply to 10.1.2.

How do I revert to original footage in Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.9?
For some reason I have lost some audio in my timeline and would like to start again but cannot get the original footage?
Only the edited version which is no good without the audio?
Please HelpWhat format is your problem clip? Are there wave forms visible in the section without sound?
Right click on the clip in the event broswer and choose Reveal in Finder; open the clip in Quick Time to confirm that there is sound throughout at that stage of your workflow.

yvonneIf you aren't receiving password reset emails and your security questions don't work, someone has hijacked your account.
This happened to me.
You need to use Expresslane to contact iTunes support to regain access to your account ASAP. -
I rented the hd version of a movie on my 8gb iPhone 4, but I wanted the standard version. The hd version is way too big for my iPod, but I can't stop the download, it just says "download error, tap to retry". How do I cancel the hd download so I can rent the SD version? I don't mind losing a few bucks from the original download.
You double posted.
Open the Video app on the phone, locate the movie, swipe from left to right, hit delete. -
I cannot receive the reset email for my security questions
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Just bought new video ipod need help
Hey everyone...
Yesterday I bought a new 30gig black video ipod.
Using some programs i bought on the internet, i was able to convert the movie "Animal House" to MP4 and put it on itunes.
The computer I did this on was my brothers computer since my computer does not read DVDs... I thought once the movie was in his itunes and in his library, I could simply drag the movie from his library to my ipod but it is not working. I do not know how else to get the movie onto my ipod. This is the second ipod i have bought and all my music is on my computer (Windows... not mac) Please help... thanks in advanceHey again... i dont think I really told everyone what was going on so sorry...
I have all of my music on my computer and my ipod has that music from my computer.
I was using my brothers computer to download this movie because my computer does not work with DVDs and i got it in his itunes on his computer. It is in the right format on his computer. I thought once it was in his library in his itunes, I could plug my ipod into his computer and drag it from his library to my ipod. That is what i used to do with my ipod mini but for some reason it was not working with the video. Is there any way to get the video from his computer to my ipod without syncing my ipod for that computer. Thanks again.

I tried creating a new user account and installing and it would not work either. I tried the uninstall recommendation from Apple and that did not work. I am running out of ideas. I even had my IT look at it and they said Apple sometimes locks down their registries for some reason.
This isn't really my thing but no one else has replied.
A few thoughts, if this is an upgrade, are you using the same account to do the upgrade as you used for the original install? If now it might be worth trying the other account.
Although you account has admin status, it might be worth logging in as THE adminstrator, if you haven't done that.
Although you don't have HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\.aif\OpenWithProgIds, you didn't say if you have HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\.aif - if you do it might be worth checking permission there.
If this is an iTunes 7.5 upgrade problem - you didn't say - it might be worth gettting the details to royb - see this post:

I Need help, my wife and myself just got new phones. I got the iPhone 6 and my wife got the 6 Plus, we set our phones up and for some reason I am recieving all her text messages. We share the same Apple ID, but we always have and never had this problem before. Someone please help, this is driving me crazy. I appreciate any and all help. Thank You!!!!!
Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library. Note that once done you cannot "share" apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must purchase your own apps under your own Apple ID. When you decide to split up like this one of you will need to re-purchase the apps that they want to use.
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax. -
We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads. The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized. I've tried updating the software, reinstalling iTunes, using different ports on the laptop, different cables...just about everything. I have NEVER been able to connect this one device, but all the others are fine. I'm at my wits end. Is there someone out there who can help a relative novice figure out what's going on? Thanks so much!
