Setting up apple id account

Attempting to assist a friend who is canadian to set up an apple id account on a new ipad mini she purchased in the US. Problem? When entering credit card info, it will not accept the canadian credit card. She purchased the mini in order to download books when in either the US or Canada...not something she can do with a Nook or Kindle Fire. Any suggestions or is she out of luck? Ay pointers would be appreciated!

Setting up apple mail account with imap fails

Hi folks.
I have a mail address from a german provider www.all-inkl.com.
My hardware is a MacBook Air 1,7 GHz Intel Core i5 with MacOSX 10.7.5
I do not succeed setting up Apple Mail (Version 5.3) for this mail address using IMAP. Strangely it works on Thunderbird 17 for Mac.
Find the settings below (those which Thunderbird accepts):
INCOMING: imap.XXXX.de – Port 143
OUTGOING: smtp.XXXX.de – Port 587
STARTTLS
Email: [email protected]
Username: j.raff
Apple Mail says (translated from German):
"Login at the IMAP Server 'imap.XXXX.de' failed. Make sure Username and Password are correct ..."
Does anyone have a clue?

Thank you for staying with me.
And, yes, I have the same error as described above.
I double checked all details.
Still, there is some ambiguity with username and servernames. Username may either be the email OR email name before @ OR client number ... Tried all.
Btw, in the Android E-Mail App it doesn't work either. I guess I have to call the provider.

How do I set up multiple iCloud accounts on one Apple ID?

My whole family uses the same Apple ID, but we all want separate iCloud accounts, because I keep on getting contacts from my children's iPhones and iPads. They want accounts between their iPads and iPhones, but I want a separate iCloud. How do they set up a new iCloud on their devices (they don't have Macs)?

Welcome to the Apple community.
An apple ID is an account. If your family require that their contacts, calendars etc are separate from each other, they all need their own Apple ID (account).
iCloud is a different service from iTunes, you can all use different Apple IDs for your iCloud service, would use the same ID for iTunes, thereby being able to share your music, apps, books, TV shows and movies et cetera.

TS4403 My Apple ID is not an icloud account. How do I set up an icloud account?

I am trying to set up an icloud account on a Win7PC, so I can share photos with my family who are on ipads. I have followed the instructions several times on how to get started on icloud, how to set up an Apple ID (which I was able to do), and I just go round in circles when I get to the iCloud dashboard. The same message My Applie ID is not an iCloud account. The 'Learn More' button doesnt take you anyway, as far as I can tell, and the 'Learn More about iCloud' takes you to the iCloud page for trouble shooting, which presumes that you already have an icloud account, since it doesnt tell you what to do to resolve the error message that I have.
Any advice much appreciated.

This is possible, but I haven't found any official Apple topics about it, so I will share a nice web article about it on a Mac fan website:

I have 2 ipod touches on the same apple id account. Can I set facertime up on both with different access emails?

I have 2 ipod touches on the same apple ID/account. My daughter uses one, and I use the other. Can I set facetime up on each with different access email addresses (so that we don't get each others calls?)?

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

Can someone explain how to set up an administrator account so that I can have my phone and my daughters have separate apple ids?

I mistakenly updated to the latest version of iOS and ever since then I can send messages to my daughter and I receive them but she does not. She has an iphone also and her phone is under my apple id also. Someone told me that I could set up an Administrator Account so that she can still be under my account but she has her own ID and that will fix the problem with text/imessages. I can't find anything on the website that explains how to do that. Can someone explain that to me?
Thanks!

I'm still not clear on what you are trying to accomplish. If you have an iPhone and she does as well you should have your own Apple IDs.
If you want to pay for any purchases she makes with her phone as far as apps/music goes than that is what Family sharing is for.
In my case my Wife and I are setup for family sharing. When she purchases music/apps it charges my credit card. This setup also allows me to share my past music/app purchases with her and vice versa.

Can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

No, you can only connect to one Home Sharing account at a time. If you want to see the content of the other Mac's library you will have to turn off Home Sharing on the Apple TV and log back in with the other iTunes account.
