One Apple ID used for two people's iPhones-what to do now?
My Dad bought an iPhone 3G when it came out and, naturally, used his Apple ID for his purchases. When the 3GS came out, he upgraded and gave the 3G to my mom. Since she doesn't sync the iPhone with a computer, she's never made her own Apple ID.
I'm wondering what the best course of action is, since she's bought quite a few apps using my Dad's account and wouldn't want to have to repurchase them if she created her own account. Is there any way to transfer certain apps?
On that note, she recently got herself a nice MacBook Pro. Her iPhone 3G used to be synced to my Dad's old iBook, so I take it there's no way to start syncing her iPhone 3G with her MacBook Pro without restoring it? Thanks for your help!
Authorize her computer with my dad's account meaning that she would be able to continue using his Apple ID and the apps she purchased with it
Yes. She does not need to use his iTunes ID at all except to authorize her computer (since she purchased apps with his iTunesID).
while syncing her iPhone with her MacBook Pro?
Yes. In order to use the apps she purchased under his iTunes ID, on her own computer, it needs to be authorized for his iTunes ID.
She can the use her own iTunes ID to make any further purchases.
I guess it's nice to have that option (if I understood correctly), but I like your suggestion to just start fresh.
She not really "starting fresh" as such.
She is simply creating her own account and copying the stuff she purchased from the other computer.
Authorize iTunes on her own computer then plug in the iPhone and File -> Transfer purchases to get these itmes into her own iTunes.

We have 4 Iphones and one Apple id (used for ITunes). Since upgrading to IOS 6 on my phone, I now receive ALL the text messages destined to the others! What should I do to get back to "normal", without opting out of Imessages or FaceTime?
I'm afraid I may abuse of your generosity here, but I do have another question (that's the reason for the mistaken category of the post you answered). My daughter just arrived in her International Student residence in Europe yesterday, where internet's only available by Ethernet. She wishes to reverse-tether, from her PowerBook to her Iphone (because of the cost of using Internet on her phone over there). I found some instructions about Internet Sharing, in System Prefs, etc. "From: Ethernet, To: Airport" Enable Internet Sharing, and all...She did everything, by the book (or so, she thinks) but nothing shows on her Iphone Wi-Fi Settings when she tries to connect... I also read that it could be done with a Bluetooth PAN, but I got lost, as I tried to follow the instructions here at home, after pairing computer and Phone, with a "rude" message appearing on my phone telling me to "forget that device". Can you help?

Is there a way for two people to play music on Apple TV? We both have itunes [she on windows, me on mac [mt lion]. We can turn on home sharing but we have separate email accounts.
Use Boot Camp Assistant in
Applications/Utility
Remove the partition.
There is also a full pdf help guide built in Help menu there.
There are other methods also. Use OS X DVD and delete it but you can't do so while booted from your hard drive.
Memory = "RAM" that programs use and get loaded into to run
Your partition is part of hard drive physical storage where OS and applications are kept until needed.
And yes, Mac needs to have 20GB or 20% minimum to avoid problems and will run slower with such small amount of free space.
You could also do one of a number of ways to backup and then boot from another device and reformat and then restore your drive.
A "Mac Pro" is a workstation with multiple internal drive bays so really easy to backup, put Windows on its own hard drive; and no need to have someone else do anything - at all. -

Can I create a 2nd iTunes account on one PC that caters for two seperate devices for different people?
For what reason would you do that?
Simply connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
iTunes remembers the sync profile per device. -
My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.
Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1) When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2) I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3) So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. -
Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?
Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

How do I keep one Apple ID account for the family, yet have different iCloud accounts for calendar, email, etc.??
First decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the others, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Once all your devices have their on iCloud accounts, to un-merge the data you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your son's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
You should also use separate Apple IDs for services such as iMessage and FaceTime. Otherwise, you're likely to end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls. If you need to change these, for iMessage go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID (such as the one just created for iCloud). For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

Is it hard to use for old people?
Thanks, Benny. We will try that.
It's going to take a while, but I think my friend will get the hang of it. It took us an hour, but I was finally able to get her to update her Facebook status! She doesn't quite get that when she touches the screen things happen, so she can't just grab the device like it's a cuttin board.
So far I have the following Accessibliity settings enabled:
VoiceOver: On
Zoom: On
Speak Selection: OnHighlight Words: On
Large Text: 56pt
Triple-click Home: Zoom
And a Bluetooth keyboard attached. We'll see how today's session goes! -
Are there any limitations for importing Apple Aperture Libraries for Lightroom 5.7 ? What can be the hardware limitation for importing large Aperture Libraries like 200 gb ? Or is importing larger Aperture Libraries even possible at the moment to Lightroom 5.7 ?
dj_paige wrote:
As far as hardware restrictions, the only one I can think of is that you certainly need enough free space on your hard disk to accomodate the masters from your Aperture library.
IIn which case, ensure all your masters are "referenced" in Aperture, and that you then go to Options in the Lightroom import box and import photos in their existing locations.
