Setting up separate accts for kids - how to associate acct with their device?

I've seen many discussions on this topic, but I am still confused. I want to have more structure around how much my kids spend on iTunes - mostly games and apps. I also want them to have more autonomy using their iPod touches. So, I created 2 iTunes accounts for them and set up an allowance for each. I want all three accounts and devices (my iTouch and their two iTouches) to sync to one Library on our one iMac. I've gone into my daughter's device and "connected" it to her new iTunes account - but what is it supposed to look like when I log into the iTunes account? If I log into her iTunes account on the computer - should I see her device associated with that account? Right now I don't. Should I remove it from the list of associated devices on MY account? Can we all still share the music in our ONE library? I don't know what to do next...thanks.

Do you want to share purchases among the different devices?
Note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

You will need to create a new account, and follow the instructions on this page when creating it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 - without following them you will need to give credit card details (I don't think that debit cards are still accepted)

Best way to set up iPod Touch for kids

Ok, I know that this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a similar question SINCE Mountain Lion was released, and wasn't sure what iCloud changes have happened since, so here I am asking the question again.
I've bought our two oldest girls (aged 11 & 10) an iPod Touch each (4th generation models) for Christmas. Now, both my wife and I have iPhone 5s, sharing one Apple ID for iTunes purposes (music, apps, etc) but separate iCloud accounts for Find My Phone, Calendars, Reminders etc. This is all managed on my MacBook Pro and on the iPhones themselves.
Now, on our iMac (running Mountain Lion), we have a user account for every member of the family. We don't use the iMac for our iPhones, although our Apple ID is used in my account for the purpose of AirPlay mirroring on the Apple TV.
Now, the older girls are at an age where they are starting to get independent. They do have an email address each (neither uses these too much yet), one has an account with Skype for chatting to school friends, etc. So I was thinking it would make sense to give them the ability to connect their iPod touches to iTunes on their individual accounts on the iMac. (They'd probably have to share an Apple ID so as not to have to pay for the same apps, games, music, etc, twice). But is this the best way to go?
Or do I set up a new user account on the iMac (for them to share) for use only with their iPod touches?
Or do I just control it all myself via my MacBook Pro? (Not sure how practical this will be as they get older and more "private").
I guess I want them to have the freedom to purchase music on their devices (I know I could set up an account with a monthly top up) but at the same time I want to have some control as well, so will be setting restrictions on their devices.
Any other suggestions, tips? Any other issues or considerations?
Thanks.
Joe.

Setting up iTunes account for kids

What's the best way to set up iPod touch's for kids aged 11 and 10?
Should they have their own accounts so there's no worry about using my credit card? Do all the apps they download have to sync with my iPad.

I keep mine on my iTunes account so I don't have to track multiple accounts with separate purchases. All you need to do is go to Settings > Restrictions and enable a 4-digit PIN and disable certain features, like in-app purchases, forget itunes password immediately, delete apps, change accounts, etc. Add the account "find my iPhone" and then you can track where they are if needed too. By not allowing account changes, they can't add, delete, or chagne any email, calendar, or contacts accounts after it's setup.

HT204053 I have bought my grandchildren an ipad and want to set up separate account for this. Is that possible?

I was wondering if a separate account can be sep-up in your itunes account as I have reached my limit on downloading ipads and would like to sep-up a new account so my grandchildren can play with their ipad

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If she creates her own iTunes account she can't use any protected content purchased under another account. She can play unprotected content synced from an iTunes library on a computer, but she can only download content from the cloud that is purchased under her account.
It's a pain I know, but the longer you put off the move, the worse the situation will become.

HT201089 I am setting up an Ipad for my child and downloading apps with Ask to Buy turned on. As the parent, I am not receiving notices/requests on my device

I have an ipad mini 2 with ios 8 and and iphone 5s with ios8
I am setting up the ipad for my child and the Ask to Buy feature is on in family sharing.
I am trying to download apps from the app store and it pops up the notification that I need to Ask to Buy and the request is being sent.
The request should be coming to my "parent" device, which happens to be my iphone correct ? I'm not seeing any sort of requests.
According to the posts I've read a request is only sent once.

Apps downloaded on one should also appear on the other as long as the app in question runs on both iPads and iPhones.

How to share account with multiple devices?

3 kids with 3 devices - an iPod Touch and two iPads Mini - family shares one account with Apple/iTunes and one library on our family PC. They use FACETIME and MESSAGES with their friends, and they all see each others messages and conversations. How do I fix this? Is there a setting or a way to create sub-accounts off the family account so they can still share the main library for music and video OR do I have to create separate Apple/iTunes accounts for each kid? Is there a setting on their devices that can help? Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not even sure the right question to ask...

How to use FaceTime with 2 devices on same apple id

My husband and I share an apple ID account, and each of us has an IPad and we want to be able to FaceTime each other, but both devices see us as the same person. Is there a way to separate our devices within the same account?

You each need your own Apple ID. It's the same as trying to call a phone with the same number. You can't.
I suppose you use the same Apple ID to share apps. You can still do that. Just create a new Apple ID for the second user and log into your device using that ID for FaceTime and Messages only. In Settings > iTunes and App Store, use the shared Apple ID.

MBAM 2.5 - How does it deal with remote devices?

Hello,
My organization is currently looking to migrate towards using MBAM from McAfee's Endpoint Encryption product. Our environment may be a little different from a lot of other companies though.
I've watched a few installation guides (including the newest from TechEd this year) and still have a couple of questions for deployment for our organization.
The computers that will be encrypted, they will be set up internally on our network and then shipped out of our network perimeter. This means that communication needs to take place over the internet. Does the MBAM server support open web communication with
remote devices over the web (assuming over port 443 or designated port)?
Secondly, if we need to restrict access to a computer remotely (as in disable a user) does MBAM automatically take care of this for us, or will we need a open facing domain controller that can be hit from the web as well?

First, MBAM clients requires access to the MBAM service to update compliance status as well as store new recovery keys (if one is used). Other than that it is fine to use the PC outside of the corp network without access.
Secondly, MBAM doesn't help you to disable a user on a local machine. It doesn't manage users at all. Perhaps I missunderstand you.

How to pair bluetooth with other devices

need help...my iphone 5 bluetooth will not pair with any devices..

As Allan says, this has never been a feature of the iphone.
It supports bluetooth for handsfree tele[hone devices, stereo headsets/speakers, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the app store, and internet tethering if provided by the carrier.
Other than this, it will not connect to other phones or computers.

File Viewer - How to associate file with application?

Under the "Files" tab, I double-click a .doc or .xls file, but instead of opening Word or Excel, SQL Developer opens up a window and displays a lot of gibberish (as though the file is being opened up with the SQL Worksheet editor).
I can right-click the .doc/.xls and select Word or Excel in the popup which does open okay in Word/Excel, but wanted to know if there was a way of associating the .doc and .xls extensions with their respective applications, so it just works with a double-click.
Maybe there is some way to add Word, Excel, etc as a default editor (there doesn't seem to be any option to add a one).
Thanks in advance,
Stuart.

I don't think so, it's a shortcut to developing with sqldev, not a copy of the Windows Explorer. So just use the latter for opening files (I myself don't use the File tab ever).
Have fun,
K.

HT2534 How to set up Apple ID for kids' iPod touch w/out email or credit card

The subject pretty much covers it - their mother has the iPods set up under her apple ID but we want to set them up for texting.
I already found out how to set up iMessage (settings/Messages - on/may have to enter the Apple ID manually/use the green "messages" app to send texts), but the issue is the Apple ID. Thanks!

You need an email address unique to each Apple ID. Why not just get an email address and create an Apple ID with a credit card?
Create a NEW account 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.
