Sharing music same appleID into four different PCs and IPADmini

Dear I am not a MAC expert
At my home (too many kids) I control the music and apps download using one single appleID
I want that all devices (iphone5s, 2 iphones3gs and 1 ipod touch) at home to be able to SYNC this downloaded music and apps; But I also want that each device SYNCs with their own computer, selecting their own downloads (always using same appleID).
Therefore on all different itunes on each computer would have the same music purchased or at least see the music purchased (if the one is phisically located in a single computer and shared with the others...)
Is that possible, where would be the tutorial to configure this so each one can perform their own SYNC.
many thanks

HT204053 My wife and I shared the same AppleID but want to break these apart. We set up a new AppleID for her but can't get this changed on the phone. How do we switch her AppleID default on her iphone 4?

My wife and I shared the same AppleID but now want to break these apart into separate accounts. I have set up a new appleid for her and also set up on line. However, I can't figure out how to change this on her iphone4. I have looked at all of the General settings but need guidance. When I use the phone to try to purchase songs from itunes, it reverts to the old appleID.
Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

Sharing the same iTunes library from different Macs/Pcs to Time Capsule

Hello everybody,
I have just bought a new Time Capsule (2TB) internal storage and an external 2TB Western Digital that i have also connected to the time capsule just fine.
The Time capsule is supplying internet to a ps3, apple tv, sony bluray player and a satelite reciever (equivalent to Sky in UK). It is actually setup on the second floor and is acting as a extension for the main network and is working perfectly.
Now I have about 5 Pcs at home with different users and 2 mac laptops (Kids wife etc.. so different users).
My ultimate goal is to setup one itunes library on all the laptops that are present on the TC.
What I did was I copied the Itunes folder (my main precious itunes library) and pasted it on the TC hard drive.
Then i tried opening it from an itunes of one of the laptops (a macbook), I opened itunes while holding options button and choose the library to the wirelessly shared itunes file and it showed up perfectly like the exact itunes with everything in it including play counts etc..
but when i want to open a song it doesnt find it and i have to pinpoint location in order to play the song.
Its just not possible to do that to every single song as my library is about 120 gigs of music. It would take years to do tht for every song.
When i usually find one folder itunes asks to find all of them automatically and when i press yes itunes stops working.
PS. Im trying this on one laptop now as a trial in order to see how this works. The main library is backed up and all safe n sound. Also i would like to say i changed the itunes library folder to the time capsule on preferences of itunes.
Is there anyway anyone could help me? Any different methods to do it? Please we can discuss whatever ideas ud like to include.
Thank you

Trying to import a CD. iTunes put the content into four different locations. I wanted to import it as an album.

The CD is a new release, Water Night by Eric Whitacre. When I tried to import it, the titles on the album ended up in four different locations! I want all of the songs in the same location so I can load it onto my iPod as an album. I found no way to do this, so I cobbled together a playlist and loaded it that way - but I don't have the cover art or the convenience of playing it as an album. Anyone know what to do about this?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Photostream for multiple devices sharing the same AppleID

I have my iPhone 4 setup with PhotoStream to import all my photos to my PC. My wife recently got an iPhone 4S and is using the same AppleID, so all her photos are also imported to the same folder on my PC. This is great and I love the setup.
But the problem is when her photos are sent to my PC they have the same filename as the pictures that I previously took with my phone and they are overwriting all my phtotos upon upload to my PC.
Is there a way to change the filename on either my iPhone or hers so they can coexist in the same folder on the PC?
Or is there a setting in iCloud that will prevent photos from overwriting photos with existeing filenames?
Thanks in advance for any help!

You can have media from more than one account on an iOS device. Note that
- 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.
I would set up the iPhone by:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
Then on the iPod yocan either erase it and set it with the new ID or:
Use the new ID on iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want 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 if you want to

Urgent ! Assigning (or Linking ) the same workbook into two different roles

Hi Gurus,
Coul you tell how to link the same workbook to two different roles.
I am assigning the same workbook to two different roles, but in the second role the workbook is displaying with different structure than in the first role. I want the workbook should be displayed with same structure in both the roles.
This is Urgernt.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Hari

Hello hari,
Both the roles should diplay the same layout for a single workbook.
please ensure that both the users(with these 2 roles) have similar (all the other)authorisations.
it's possible that one of the users may have further restrictions in authorisations. check out for z-authorisation objects if any.
hope it helps..
thanks,

I attempted to perform the itunes update on two different PCs and itunes will no longer open and I received a message to reinstall itunes. The reinstall did not work and I now receive a Runtime error message (R6034) re: library loading incorrectly. Help?

I attempted to perform the itunes update on two different PCs. Itunes will no longer open and prompted me to reinstall itunes. The reinstall did not work after several attempts and I received an error: "Runtime error R6034. An application has made an attempt to load the C Runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information." Has anyone else had this issue? How can I resolve it?

I've been having the same exact problem this morning, and from the looks of it a lot of other people are posting about this issue, so I don't know if it's maybe something wrong with the download but I'm just relieved that it seems to be that instead of a corruption issue with my windows installation. I'm just wondering how long this will take to be resolved.

ICal and mobile me have same events but on different dates and times

I am using iCal and have a mobileme account.
When I publish the calendars their publish sites are fine.
But when I go to my mobileme calendar, the events are there, but at different times and a day early.
I have tried changing my (GMT time) but it stays as Pacific Time (US & Canada)
The 'all day' events are correct, but the events throughout the day are incorrect.
All the events on my iphone match the calendar on my home phone so I am really confused.
Any idea what I can do to fix this?

Thx Bernard,
You are very helpful
When you went through the steps, were any of the settings different to those that I suggested?
......Yes, Time zone was uncheck in iCal and MM
I don't think you mentioned importing previously. Where are the events originally created?
.....I have a large spreadsheet of college athletic games that we keep in Excel and I import to iCal, they are ALWAYS one hour off after imported to iCal. Long before iPhone and MM too!
I don't see that MobileMe is especially different to dotmac - except that you now have explicit control over the time zone of the calendar (whereas it used to be set to the one from which you originally published).
...Honestly the TZ Support is a HUGE pain and causes Much more trouble for all than anything it is suppose to help with..., been that way ever since iCal came out...
One hour time differences often crop-up on a phone and are usually to do with daylight savings issues, but you don't mention a phone in your set-up so I am assuming this is not the case.
...again this one hour problem, has been an issue for me long before the iPhone and MM...
I have to say that I don't have issues with my calendars and I have these synced across different systems and devices, so for me it really is a non-issue. (I should also say that I travel frequently and don't have problems with events in multiple time zones either.)
...glad it works for you, but it appears this is an issue for many. I used Now Up-To-Date for 10+ years and NEVER had trouble with import/export/sync...
One thing I neglected to ask you is whether you do need to have time zone support - i.e. do you travel with any of the macs to which you sync or do you get invitations that originate in different time zones?
...I have no need for TZ Support even if I were and astronaut
It would also be enormously helpful if you would provide data on what version of OS X and iCal you are using.
....I am on 10.5.5 and iCal 3.0.5
Thx Much

IPhone 4 and iPad 1 sharing the same AppleID

Read a few discussions on similar scenarios, but couldn't really find a solution.
Wife's iPad 1 and my iPhone 4 share my AppleID for the iTunes Store. With iOS5 out, we can all go cordless and I would like to take advantage of that. I have created her AppleID, but how may I fully delink my ID from her iPad and link it to her ID without loosing app's data?
Cheers

To all intents and purposes, all apps, movies, music, etc, are downloaded are for one single apple ID, though 5 devices can be authorized to use the apps but only registered to your Apple ID account.
Switching 'Home sharing' on can help here.
To set up a new apple ID for your wife on the iPad will create a new fresh iPad system without your Apps data I'm afraid. So it will be a lengthy copying and authorising to do.
MobileMe had a system to resolve all this known as Family package.
I'm not sure about iCloud providing this family package at this stage, but it would be a proper answer to your question.
A quote from Macworld:
I’ve got lots of Apple IDs. I’ve got an iTunes account with all my apps and music on it, we have family MobileMe accounts for e-mail… what does the advent of iCloud mean for me?
We’re not sure how Apple is going to handle multiple accounts. However, the iOS 5 beta features an iCloud settings item as well as a separate Store settings item. The iCloud item handles the syncing of mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks, notes, Photo Stream, and Find My iPad, as well as storage and backup. The Store setting seems to cover music and apps. So it’s possible you’ll be able to use one Apple ID for media purchases and syncing, and a separate ID for all the other data. In this way, if you have a single family account for media purchases, you can keep everyone on that while using a separate account for other data.
Will I be able to merge my iTunes and MobileMe accounts into a single account? Or change my Apple ID and retain my old apps and media?
Apple hasn’t said anything about how management of Apple IDs will be handled. Given their increasing importance, it would certainly be nice if Apple allowed users to change, merge, and even split accounts.

Why can i not log into a different computer and pull up my music

how do i get my music using a diferent computer, if i saved my music and movies on my account on a different computer

Your music and movies consist of files on the computer(s) where you put them, and on any backups you made.

HT1473 iTunes sometimes seperates songs from the same cd into 2 different albums, from one disc. how can I correct this?

I've been adding cd's to iTunes on my Mac Book Pro. Sometimes, it splits songs off of a single cd and treats these songs like a seperate album. I've changed artist and album artist info, checked the compilation box, and burned the cd's a second (third, etc) time, but can't get the problem corrected. Anyone else having these problems? Some of the cd's are from the 80's and 90's, so that may be one reason for the difficulty. Can't seem to find a correction. I can create playlist of these cd's, but I'd like to have them as the album in their entirety. So far, Bongo Fury by Zappa/Beefheart is giving me the most trouble; the first song always remains seperate from the other 8 songs. The disc is from 1989. Any ideas, anyone?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers. This one sounds like a job for the trailing X method in Tried that, there are STILL too many covers!

What To Do To Be Able To Use Same Files on Two Different PCs.??

I need to tell each PC that the files are related, since Dreamweaver writes internal code for each file?
What do I need to do? The computers are NOT on a network.
I hope I a clear with my question.
Cheers,
Dreamweaver101.1

Ok,
I want someone to do some work for me using Dreamweaver 8 at their home.
My license allows me to use at least 2 computers.
If they format content for me using my template, I want to be able to upload these file to my web site?
Are you saying unless they are on a network, this arrangement (working at different locations) will NOT work?
cheers,
