HOW TO?: Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

I would like my children to have the own apple accounts, without having to lie about there age. I personally have no interest in buying music at this time and want them to have there own accounts. Help make this happen. Tks

I believe that if they are not old enough for an own account, it isn't possible.
If you really don't want to lie about their age, you could make your own account and let them use it. Be sure your bank account isn't linked to it, because little children tend to innocently buy all kinds off stuff. (you could use a iTunes gift card)
lying about age is quite common, Apple can do not much about it, but only, if your children see for them harming content, Apple can't be blamed.
If someone knows much better, you better trust him, I do not know most of these kind of things

We have multiple users, each with multiple devices, on 1 apple id - as we want to share music and ibooks etc. We want the children to have access to the store, but with a financial limit. How do we do this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That's simply not possible I'm afraid. You'd need to give them their own account and allowance or make it so you are required to be there to input the password when they wish to make a purchase.

Hello lynnettefromsk,
The article linked below details all of the locations that you may need to change your Apple ID. This process should not affect the state of anything on the device at the time.

I accidentally set up two accounts. One account with my old e-mail address which I've been using for years and has all of my purchases on it. Now I have a new account with my current e-mail address. How do I disable this new account?

I accidentally set up two accounts. One account with my old e-mail address which I've been using for years and has all of my purchases on it. Now I have a new account with my current e-mail address. How do I disable this new account? I need to disable the new e-mail address account so that I can add it as an additional e-mail to my old account. THEN, how do I make this new e-mail address my primary e-mail for this old account?

Did yoo go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in?

When starting Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 I am all of a sudden getting a message that says "One or more of the scratch disks don't have read/ write access" and now the app won't operate - how do I fix this so I can use Final Cut Pro?

Glad you found the answer. But something seems wrong. FCP should be able to assign the scratch disk to your startup drive. It's not advisable, but it should be possible. You might want to try and figure out what's going on before what ever's going on cause other problems.

Our family has one apple account, but several devices linked to it. How do I sync my device (Ipad) without getting all my 11 year old daughter's apps on it?

I need help syncing my Ipad. Our family uses one apple account for multiple devices... how do I sync my ipad without getting all my daughters apps? How do I know which of my apps need to be synced to the computer?

Simply select only the apps that you want to sync to your iPad and then sync. You can control what syncs to the iPad. You may be best served by turning off auto sync.
Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Click OK.
Connect your iPad to the computer.
Launch iTunes
Click on the iPad name on the left side under the Devices heading.
Click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right.
Click on only the apps that you want to sync in the list of apps under the Sync Apps heading.
Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked.
Click on Apply in the lower corner of iTunes.

My family has multiple itunes accounts, and would like to merge them into a single cloud account. How do I do this?

We are trying to combine music into a shared library so we can eliminate all of the duplicate purchases. Is this possible?

That's not exactly correct. It is possible to sign in to one account for media sharing and another account for iCloud. When you initially set up the device, it may automatically sign you into one account for everything, but you can go to preferences and change this.
Each family member should have their own iCloud account for mail, contacts, calendars, photostream, etc, but you all sign into the same account for iTunes.
Unfortunately there is no way to consolodate the media you have already purchased.

HT1918 I have 2 active itune accounts on the same laptop, I would like to know if I can delete or cancel the newest account and if so how do I do this.

I have 2 active itune accounts on the same laptop. My orginal account was set up 3 yrs ago I believe for an ipod that I have but I hadn't used it in a long time. I recently bought an iphone 4s and my daughter was helping me with itunes. She made me another itunes account under another email address that I use for facebook instead of using the account I already had. I have purchaed a few songs and ring tones from this new account, but since then I logged out and started using my old account a week or so ago. What I want to do is delete or cancel the newest account but don't know how to or what to do. The email I get from "Apple" is being sent to the email address I use for facebook and not to my orginal aol email account. Can you tell me what I need to do to? I only want one account and I would like to keep the old account.
Thank you!

Stop using the account.
You need do nothing more.
You will need to authorize your computer for both accounts as you have purchased from both accounts.

18$ in credit on one Apple ID and would like to use it on my iPhone which is a separate Apple ID

What's the easiest way to go about this?

A device is not connected to one apple ID. You can use many ID's on one phone. It does get a bit annoying switching through each one when there is a update available, but to connect 2 or more, just go to the bottom of the app store and click sign out and then sign into the apple ID with the credit.

DD got new laptop(Windows 8). I would like for her to have her own iTunes account. However she has been syncing her iPod to my account for 2years and has an abundance of music/movies that we don't want to buy again. Any way to share them to her new PC?

My daughter got a new laptop for Christmas (windows 8). I would like to set up her own iTunes account on her laptop. Our dilema is she has been syncing her iPod to my account for 2 years now, therefore, she has an abundance of music (purchased through iTunes store) and movies (downloaded via digital download from DVD/BluRay purchases) that we don't want to have to purchase all over again. Is there any way to share some/all of my account with her so she can sync her iPod to her laptop in the future?
I have been reading about Home Sharing but I am not sure this is the approach I am after. Will home sharing work to allow her to alter and change the content on her PC without changing/altering it on mine? Will it allow her to sync her iPod with her PC?
I suppose I should also add that we are currently running 2 iPod touches, 2 iPads and an iPhone from my apple ID. I am not even sure if I would be able to add her PC as a device for home sharing if that is an option for us.
Any and all guidance is greatly appreciated.

HT5622 What if I have children who have their own apple products but I want them on the same apple ID as me and we want to use imessage?

We have a few iphones and one apple ID. We only want to use the one apple ID as they are children and I want to have control. How can we imessage between us and different phones without everyone getting the imessages on each device?

Settings>Messages>Send & Receive...you can adjust here. There is no other setting to adjust.
What you want to do is really not the best approach. Everyone can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes content, but for everything else...FaceTime, iMessage, & iCloud, everyone really needs their own Apple Id for things to function properly & as designed.

I would like to update or upgrarde my iphone from 4.2 to 5.0 or higher how can I do this task A. my phone does not have a "update" setting I was told to reset all the settings to new B. will this earase all my contact, files ,notes emails ??? C.

I want to update or upgrade my iphone 4 to 5.0 or 6 higher how can I do this ? I my unable to sign into Itunes I was told to reset all the settings to "factory" If I reset evevything ,will I loose all my contacts, emails, notes, or any other information that I have saved into my phone (photos, apps, emails, ) Just as if I had a brand new phone ? I am not very experience with computers or high tech devices I would have a difficult time uploading on my computer or tranfering data

Don't reset anything, just connect it to iTunes. If you don't have iTunes on a computer, then find someone who does, turn off auto sync, then connect your iphone and click 'check for updates'. iTunes will download the update, then update that software to your phone. Before you update though, I'd make a backup, just to be on the safe side.
