Not sure if this means I created a separate iCloud account. Please help.

When I first upgraded my iPad to iOS5 I turned on icloud but little else. I assume this means that the iCloud account was created under the primary Apple ID. My wife received a new iPad 2 for your b'day and I set her up with my primary Apple ID for purchases but with her own iCloud id. My research indicates that for our needs - one Apple ID for purchases and separate iCloud IDs would be the way to go. Yesterday I attempted to turn on syncing for Notes and it was indicated on my iPad that I needed an @me e-mail to do this and so I requested one and got it. When I did so I was never asked to setup a password nor had I been asked the questions I was asked when setting up my wife's. So now - did I create a separate iCloud account when obtaining the @me address or do I have to do something else? I'd like to attach my syncing to a separate iCloud account as well rather than the master Apple account (thinking this is what I should do).
Thank you.

anyone?

Message "switch to mobile site". Not sure what this means

When I am surfing the web I keep getting a pop up that says "switch to mobile site". I'm not sure what this means since I don't have a mobile site. I am new to the Ipad so I am looking for help.

Many websites have a link at the bottom of the page that says "Mobile" or "Mobile Site" or something to that effect. If you tap on that it will take you to the version of the website that is best suited for mobile devices, iPads, iPhones, etc. The mobile sites are optimized for mobile devices and will include videos that will be viewable in iOS that were created in html5 rather than Flash which is no longer supported on mobile devices and never was supported in iOS. When you see that message look for the link somewhere on the website or just tap OK if it gives you the option to switch to the mobile version in the popup message.
Some websites have a Mobile Button that is quite visible at the top of the home page. You can see the Mobile button here under the word Events on the NFL.com home page.

After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I received a message about having too many contacts? Not sure what this means, didn't know there limitations on contacts. Can you tell me about fixing this problem?

What were you doing when you received the message?
I have seen reports on these forums where there is a limit to how many contacts you can have in the "to" field of a text message. That is the only thing I can think of where someone has reported getting a warning about too many contacts.

I could not remember my apple ID password so I made a request for a new one. When I received the email with the link on resetting my password it was addressed to John Ohare. My name is not John Ohare. Does this mean someone is hacked my iCloud account?

Hello Corinne Craven,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
You can update the name on your Apple ID here:
Appleid.apple.com
If you suspect unauthorized access to your apple ID I would normally recommend resetting your password, but you have already done this.
Here is some information about 2 step verification which is another level of security for your account.
Apple ID: Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID

Be sure to read all the information in the article if you choose to use two-step verification.
Take care,

My iPod mini, 4gb is hard to get serviced obviously because they dont make them anymore
It is as simple to get it serviced as the day you purchased it.
How is it hard to get it serviced?
How long have you had your iPod?
i get maybe 4-5 hours of battery life, maybe even 6 if im lucky
That is not good but it's not "terrible".
If you've had it less than a year, send it back to Apple to replace the battery.
thought that i might buy an attachment type accesorie that i plug into the usb port on my ipod
It's called a dock connector, not a USB port.
i found a product in the online store, that i guess you place the ipod mini on, and it gives you up to 20 or so more hours of time but then it says that you have to have a firewire port or cable?
What is it? The firewire port is on the computer, not the iPod.
If the original battery is going bad, the first thing to do is get that sorted out.

Can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.

How do I create 2 separate iCloud accounts

My whole office uses Iphones. Recently my boss shared his icloud calander with me, so I can be updated on his where abouts. Well I don't want them swwing all of my calander. I thought if I make another itunes account, I could create a seperate icloud account also for my own personal use. I looked on the iphone under settings for my icloud, I don't want to delete my current calander, which I need to see my boss's updates. I just want to use the new email address for icloud. Does anyone know how to do this since the email is all grayed out on my icloud?

Sorry Tzadii, I see my previous message was probably not the best suggestion. You said your boss shared his calendar with you. Sharing is a way to share the same calendar with more people ON DIFFERENT ICLOUD ACCOUNTS. You also sayd yopu boss RECENTLY shared .... how was it before ? Were you with 2 differrent accounts ? Better reading your message I understand that you have the same iCloud account. There is the problem, you are not sharing the calendars you use the same calendar and the same data and this should have been always the same.
For sure you need to setup a new iCloud account with a new AppleID.
Of course you wish to save the informations you have on your iPhone.
THe problem was already discussed and I found a message about the way to setup a new account and save your date on the iPhone. Here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4448941

Not sure what this means . . .

I'm installing a software package via the terminal, and when I run the install script it says
+"Prepending /Users/ehutchin/downloads/mclite/bin to current PATH+
+Unable to find shell startup script (/var/root/.profile)+
+You must manually add /Users/ehutchin/downloads/mclite/bin to your PATH+
+Install script completed+
sh-3.2#
How do I manuall add users to my PATH , and what does this mean ?

and what does this mean?
For security and performance sake you don't want the shell to search every directory on disk when you type a command name, so your $PATH is a list of directories that the shell searches when you type a command. It's what allows you to avoid having to type (or even know) which directory any particular command is in - you can type its name and the shell will find it if it exists within one of the pre-defined directories.
If the command in question is not in your $PATH, you can still launch it by specifying it's full path (e.g. '/path/to/some/command' rather than just 'command').
What's happening here is that the installer script is trying to prepend the directory where you installed this app to your $PATH which means that the shell will look in that directory first, before any other directory, and allow you to type its name rather than its full path.
What the install script is complaining about is that it's trying to add /Users/ehutchin/downloads/mclite/bin to root's $PATH, but it can't because there isn't a login script for root that it can update.
Since you're installing this application as root I would seriously check the application first before doing this. Prepending means that this app's directory is the first one checked and could represent a security risk (for example, someone could install a rogue application that you use frequently (like 'ls') that would get called before the standard system /bin/ls. Not a good idea.
Appending the path might be acceptable, but you might not want to do it for root at all - do you expect to run this app as root?
So your options are numerous:
1) Do nothing. Doesn't represent any kind of security risk and you can always run the app by specifying it's full path (/Users/ehutchin/downloads/mclite/bin/commandname' rather than just 'commandname'. Probably the best option if you don't expect to leave the app there long-term (are you really going to leave it in your downloads directory?)
2) Add the path to your user's $PATH. That way you can run the command when logged in under your own user account. For sanity's sake append the path, do not prepend it.
3) Create a login script for the root user and add it there. That's what the installer is trying to do but I think this is a really bad idea.
In the short term, if you're just checking out the app, I'd opt for #1 and implement #2 once you're sure about the app and where it will live long-term.

I down loaded two movies to watch on a flight, when I tried two watch either one of them, it said" not authorized for this content" Not sure what this means. I don't think I have child control on.

I Down loaded two movies to watch on a flight. When I tried to watch either one of them it said " not authorized to watch this content" and it would load to watch. I donot believe I have child controls on.

I have read about some cases where movies rented or purchased on one device will not play on another device. Seems to happen mostly with Apple TV and iPads. One way some have worked around it is to cable from the downloaded device to a TV or Apple TV.
Were these movies purchased or rented from iTunes? Not sure, but that almost sounds like a iTunes Password problem. Maybe try checking that you're signed in as the same account that purchased the movies.

How do I know if my iphone has successfully been backed up to my iTunes? I plugged it in and it said it backed up and I did a sync, but when I am looking through the summary page and I am not sure that all of my data got backed up. Please help!!

I have never backed up my iphone to my itunes because I always used the cloud. However, a few months ago, my wifi disk in my phone burned out so the Apple Store told me to back up everything to my itunes. I am going today to get the iphone 6 so I connected my phone (iphone 4S) to my itunes and I backed up and synced. However, when I look throughout the summary page and click in different areas (Photos, Movies), I don't see any of my data -- it is still asking me to Sync from iPhoto or to sync from another location. By backing up & syncing my phone, did all of my data get saved? Or do I still need to do more steps?
Sorry for the long winded question, I am just so nervous to get a new phone and plug it in to be restored and not have any of my pictures, videos or contacts, etc. Any help would be so so appreciated!

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
Sync Calendars:

I have the advanced calling on my glaxay note 4 but am not sure on how to use and who i can call please help!?

I have the advanced calling on my galaxy note 4 but am not sure on how to use it or who I can call I watched video's that show me but it doesn't work please help!

This is also known as VoLTE or Voice over LTE. Like Vonage, but for cell phones. Advanced calling is turned on or off in your phones settings, usually near Call/Phone option. It allows an HD quality call between you and another Verizon customer who is using an AC-enabled phone. It also allows you to talk and surf simultaneously and conduct video calls. This AC requires Mobile Data to be on when out and about but can still be used on WiFi.The min do not count toward your data, however the video counts toward your data.
Some customers report poor call quality or dropped and missed calls when using this newer feature. Disabling AC usually helps quell those issues.

IPhone locked to a stranger's icloud account- please help I am not a thief

I had bought iPhone 5 from AT&T the day it was released. After using it for a year and half, I decided to gift it to my dad. I completely wiped the phone to it's factory settings and shipped it to my dad. After my dad received the phone, he took it to a local store to get a new screen protector and a case. After he returned back home, he tried to use the phone but surprisingly the phone was in a lost mode with a message showing it is currently linked to an Apple ID d…[email protected]. Initially he thought the apple id that was showing on the phone belonged to me and asked me to remove it from the device. However, the problem was the apple id didn’t belong to me. I tried to contact the the email address and the phone number that was showing on the screen but they turned out to be bogus. My dad went back to the store but the owner of the store denied doing anything like that. I did some research on Google and came across this discussion where a person is also having the exact same “locked to a stranger’s apple id” issue. At this point, I am not sure if it was the store owner who locked my device or it is a bug in the iCloud system of which Apple is not aware of? I called Apple Support but the rep was kind of rude and just dismissed the case. Then I went to the Apple store with the proof of purchase and the original box but was turned back to Apple Support. The second rep whom I spoke with was professional and sounded helpful but it has been a week and haven't heard back from him yet.
I guess Apple is finding difficulty trying to decide who the true owner of the phone is? Me who have the proof of purchase or the stranger who has provided bogus email address and phone number? Looks like Apple is not willing to help me at all. Is filing a case at small claim court the only option left for me?

I respect your opinion but I don’t agree with it. In the real world, you don't have to involve the police if you simply loose your keys or if it gets stolen. There is nothing a police can do because the car is never stolen and is just sitting at the mall's parking lot all the time. Remember, only the keys were stolen. In my phone's case, the phone was never stolen however I do agree that it was in a vulnerable position when I did the factory reset and removed my icloud account from it. If a device is in such a position then anybody who has the physical access to the device can lock the device with their icloud account. And this is exactly what happend to my phone and this is exactly what I have been trying to explain to Apple Support. I understand they cannot just trust me and unlock the phone for me, but I expect them to tell me what's the next step for me to take. What document or proof do they need from me to show that I am the true owner? I can try and get the police involved even though the device is never stolen, but I first need to know which city police should I get involved- is it the Dallas Police, my home town police or the stranger’s home town police? The email address and the phone number shown on the locked screen are totally bogus and they don’t exist at all. I don’t even know where this stranger lives. Apple Support is simply ignoring me presuming that I am the thief and not trying to resolve the issue at all.

Not sure if this means I created a separate iCloud account. Please help.
