Newbie and apps
I will be purchasing a mini in the next couple days for business use. Current apps include MSOFFICE, QuickBooks, Firefox and Outlook Express and MSPaint. I know I will need to purchase a MAC OS version of QuickBooks (not wishing to use a dual partition system or run Windows). I think a trial version of MSOffice is included... how much is it to buy a license?
What web browsers can be used and what mail clients? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but there didn't seem to be a logical place for these questions...
Last, what is a Wire Fire port? Thanks in advance!
I went to the Mozilla site and didn't see a Mac version... only Windows. I currently use Firefox 2.0.0.11. Problem is, I have a website and must switch to IE when I edit the website as the Joomla editor doesn't work as well with Firefox. Same problem with selling things on eBay. The Firefox browser doesn't support their wysiwyg editor and you have to do the adds directly in html. I use the IE browser for eBay stuff as well for that reason.
I am thinking that the best thing to do is continue using the PC for business stuff; mainly doing the books and keeping spreadsheets. I guess I can pick up an A/B switch and use the Mac for online stuff. If I keep the PC offline I can probably keep it stable and trouble free I guess while still using the current work software I already have.
Thanks for the quick response!

How can you use the same Apple ID for music and apps but have a different iCloud
Collectively in my family we have 1 iPhone 2 ipod(4th gen) and 3 iPad mini's and we like to buy music and apps through the same Apple ID so that we can all share it but we also have a problem about the iCloud.
My son has one iPod and one iPad and he would like his contacts and messages to be shared between HIS two devices but he would also like all of the pictures taken in the family to be shared
The same for my daughter and for me.
Is there a way of selecting which devices share what????
Thanks a lot
AcwillsYou could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc. -
My friend wanted to create a new iCloud account that was different to her iTunes and app one when she deleted her iCloud account that was the same as her iTunes it won't let her log into her iTunes one now what can I do to fix it she has paid or apps and songs and of she makes another account everything will be lost.

My safari menu bar is missing. The menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away when borrowing my computer. Any ideas how to retrieve it? Thanks.
I too was having the same problem However, I could access both the menu bar and the dock by hovering my mouse over them so it wasn't a huge problem but I prefered having it there anyway. I was not in full screen mode and I could still go into full screen mode if I wanted to. I found the easiest solution was to just quit safai and restart it, but it might not work for you considering you couldn't access you menu bar either way.
I found this article that allows you to hide/show the menu bar and the dock through TextEdit (didn't work for me) http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2009/07/hide-the-menubar-or-dock-in-specific-app s.html It is pretty old so it might not work for lion and a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing so I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way.
And KSheppard, I know it's not really any of my buisness, but the way to get answers to a question isn't by insulting others and being quick-tempered. Even if you feel like you were insulted first, don't try snapping at people who aren't obligated to help you. Honestly, it just makes everything easier if everybody is cooperative and polite. -
Help! My husband and I have multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod ) that we we have linked to individual iTunes accounts ie he has his account with iPad, iPhone, PC and iPod linked/sync and I have my account with iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, PC etc.. How do we share our music and apps across/between our accounts?
It probably means that only one of you can use iCloud or at least sync calender/contacts with it. I would guess that you could manually manage the other phone as you have before.

How do I retrieve lost music and apps?
While updating my iPod touch I lost all of my pictures, videos, music, and apps. How do I restore all of this lost memory?
If you still have a backup, you can restore your device from that backup.
Apps and other media can be downloaded again for free, they are not part of the backup made by iTunes:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
More info about the content of a backup and how to restore: iTunes: About iOS backups -
I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?
Same question Wish someone had replied!
I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple! -

Certain music pieces and apps won't download from my iPod to iTunes on my MacBook
I want to put what is on my iPod on my new MacBook, but certain pieces and apps won't download because my computer isn't authorized (so it will delete it from my iPod if I sync), but when it asks me to authorize it it uses an old Apple ID that doesn't exist anymore and to which I do not have access. Any ideas how to fix this? I just want to be able to sync my iPod with this computer without worrying about losing anything.
Check out this article:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
Read the "iTunes and App Store Content" section, especially the "Transferring purchased content" link there. -
I deleted my photos, music and apps. Help please!
Help me please! I have deleted all my photos and music and apps. I think everything and it keeps saying I have something on phones and I really want to update my iphone. I'm on 2.7 GB Available. I don't know what to do?!
If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted. The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).

My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I noticed that my Instagram is at 732mb and it keeps rising. Now it's at 814mb. Please help!!!!!
What is the precise wording of the message that is occurring?
Are you attempting to update via iTunes on a computer or over the air on the device?
How much free space is actually on the device?
If updating via iTunes on the computer, how much free space on the computer? -
I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!
Working on that now. I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage. Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.

My iPod wont allow me to download certain songs and apps, why not?
I have tried to download certain songs and apps on my iPod touch, but for some reason where it say 'install' the button can't be pressed, I can download other apps and songs but its just songs and apps here and there. For songs as well, I can have them on my iTunes but not on the iPod, I don't understand!
Is the "Restrictions" feature enabled? You can prevent downloading explicit songs and apps with that feature. Check that and then try again.
