Should I use my personal apple ID to DL & install lion at work?

Or should I create a separate Apple ID?

If you create a separate ID, you will probably have to buy Lion again. I would ask you IT department about using your personal accounts at work.
Another option is just to create an Install USB stick.

HT201088 I am considering starting Family Sharing. Should I set up a new Apple ID for the Family Sharing or should I use my personal Apple ID?

On your Mac, try to access your gmail account. There should be a link you click for "Forgot My Password". Click it and try to retrieve your password.

I have a family Apple ID associated with my iMac and iPad for iTunes and Apps and then two new iPhone 5s each which use a personal Apple ID for email and the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I use iTunes Match on the iPhones given there are two Apple IDs "loaded" on the iPhone?

I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to purchase and use on my work ipad?

Yes, otherwise you will have to pay for those apps again. If an app is purchased by one Apple ID, he/she will be able to redownload it again for no cost (note: this does apply to songs, but NOT to movies).

Can I create an apple id that my mother can use to download free books without using my personal apple id that I used when set her ipad up with originally?

Can I set up another user id that my mother can use to download free books without using my personal apple id that I used to set up her ipad with originally?

Other options:
Download the Amazon Kindle app and set your mother up with an Amazon account. Amazon has a lot of free ebooks.
Many public libraries allow you to check out audio and ebooks using the Overdrive app.

HT201788 What speed disks should i use in an Apple Superdrive

What speed disks should i use in an Apple Superdrive?
Thanks

It matters little. The slower the burn speed, i.e. 2x or 4x, the better the burn.
What is important is the brand of media: most of here recommend Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden.

IMac at work, iMac at home. (Latest Yosemite and Apple Remote Desktop updates installed) Need to work from home at night. I don't know how to set my permissions so that I can just control my iMac at work.

If they have set up port forwarding for you already then that is different. In that case, then you could be experiencing the bug with the most recent release of ARD (3.7.2) and in particular ARD 3.7.2 and Yosemite ARD version 3.8 clients. It has been reported numerous times in the forums and to Apple that since 3.7.2, clients are frequently unavailable to connect to despite there being no network issue between the remote computer and client computer. I have not seen anyone report it who was working from outside the LAN to inside the LAN, but I have the same issue with a number of my own computers that are simply on a different subnet, so it stands rot reason that it would happen from a port forwarding location.
I am sometimes able to resolve the issue locally by SSH connecting into the client computer using Terminal on my admin machine and restarting or relaunching the ARD agent on the remote device, then trying to connect to it again after about 30 seconds.
The Terminal commands for this procedure are as follows, though you might need to include a port number from outside the LAN:
First:
ssh ipaddress -l adminusername
(example: ssh 192.168.1.1 -l macadmin)
Second:
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent
After that, waiting about 30 seconds and trying to observe or control usually works, though the computer may still fail to show an online or lit-up status indicator.

Try one of your other USB ports. Be sure to insert it with the plated fingers pointing upwards.

HT204053 How do I set up a second Apple ID? Our office wants to use the iCloud calendar, but I don't want to use my personal Apple ID.

How do I set up a second Apple ID to use iCloud? My office is going to use the iCloud calendar on our PCs and I don't want to use my personal ID. Thanks for any suggestions.

You really don't want to do that, operate an iPad with 2 different ID's.
I'm presuming you have a work iPad and you want to put some non work bought apps on it. You will have issues, like half the iPad not working while the other half does.
Probably not something you want to explain to your IT department.

What number should I use to contact Apple?

I tried using their 1800 number for support, I forgot my security questions and I don't have a reset option, and all the automated voice did was tell me to visit the website. Is there any way I get get ahold of someone specifically for iTunes?

Use Nexus Personal ("BankID") with Firefox without installing it

I will describe how to utilize Nexus Personal as a plugin for Firefox without installing the package from AUR or running the installation script that comes with the program.
And why would I do that? Firstly; the root partition on the system that I use has very limited space. If the files that are used for Nexus Personal are located elsewhere (like my home folder, on another harddrive) it will free up some valuable space. Secondly; to keep an record of the procedure. If I ever must repeat the process I can check back at this reference. Thirdly; upgrading should be trivial and just a matter of copying the new version of the program to a certain folder. Lastly; maybe someone else might also benefit from this.
Download and unpack the files and place the folder where you want the program to be (e.g. /home/kalle/Applications/nexus/)¹. Make sure that the files persadm and personal.bin have permission to be executed.
Let Firefox know where the plugin is located by creating a symbolic link in the Firefox plugins folder to the file libplugins.so by running the command sudo ln -s /home/kalle/Applications/nexus/libplugins.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libplugins.so
Copy the shell script² personal.sh to folder /usr/local/bin/ by running the command: sudo cp /home/kalle/Applications/nexus/personal.sh /usr/local/bin/personal.³
Now, open the copy with a text editor and change the two lines to point at the program folder (this should be obvious).
Make a symbolic link to the program folder in /usr/local/lib/ with the command: sudo ln -s /home/kalle/Applications/nexus/ /usr/local/lib/personal
Open the file /etc/ld.so.conf in a text editor and add a line with the path of the program folder⁴. Finally, run the command sudo ldconfig.⁵
Once you start Firefox the plugin should be recognized and operational (hopefully).
For those who don't know:
Nexus Personal, or "BankID", is a proprietary program that can be used as a method for personal identification, and is used on the websites of various Swedish authorities, banks, etc.
I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to be writing this, but I couldn't think of any other.
Clarifications:
¹: where "kalle" should be your username. You can put the program folder with the extracted files wherever you want, though. /home/kalle/Applications/nexus/ is just a mere example.
²: located among the extracted files.
³: notice the slight difference in the name (the copy should not have an extension).
⁴: the line should contain just "/home/kalle/Applications/nexus/"
⁵: this seems to be required to do in order to make the plugin find its required libraries that comes with the program.
General tips for troubleshooting:
Invoking the command ldd can be used to check if the plugin executables has their required libraries set up correctly.
In Firefox you can also write about:plugins in the address bar in order to see if the browser is following the symbolic link that is located in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/.

HT201304 Can I delete an app that uses the same apple ID but is installed on a different device

How can I remotely uninstall an app on different device? The other device is an iPad 4 but my apple ID was used to make the purchase. I find the content inappropriate for the user.

AFAIK... you need to be in possession of the Device.

Should I use one apple id with multiple devices?

I have 2 iPods an iPad and a new iPhone. Should I use the same Apple ID on all decvices? The iPods are for the kids to use. Also, will be adding apple tv soon...

I registered my daughters two I touches using my apple I'd , but now told I should use separate IDs even though only my credit card is to be used when authorized by me. As I try to figure this very confusing dilemma out, didninunderstand correctly that if I remove their devices now from my ID, they can't be associated with another device for 90 days? Is their a walk thru tutorial somewhere about how to do this bc I'm beginning to think some mistakes are irreversible for 90 days if you try to figure it out and are wrong!

Should we use same apple id for ipad and iphone

i had bought a ipad, should i use the same Apple ID as per my iphone? or create a new one. if i use the same ID, howabout my i cloud storage will be remain 5GB or 10GB

One possible use for separate Apple IDs is to have a separate ID associated with a particular device. This could be important with iMessage or Facetime, because if you associate all your devices with one ID, you will receive iMessages or Facetime calls on all your devices simultaneously. If you only want to do iMessage on your iPhone, for example, people could use the Apple ID associated with your iPhone, and the messages would not show up on your iPad. Obviously, this could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you like to work.
For me, I have a single Apple ID, mainly because it is easier to keep track of my purchases and downloads. I also prefer to receive messages and facetime calls on all my devices, so I can choose which one to respond from.
