Since I updated to iOS5, I now have two (2) different Apple IDs. The first is my original Apple ID (iMac); the second is my primary email address (iPad & iPod). How can I standardize on just one ID?

No.
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

    -so do not uninstall the older CC programs if you use plugins in your programs until you are sure you have plugins that work in CC2014

  • I have several very important school related documents on my iPad in the Pages app. Ever since i updated to iOS5, i can no longer open any documents in Pages that I made before I updated. Please help

    I have several very important school related documents on my iPad in the Pages app. Ever since i updated to iOS5, i can no longer open any documents in Pages that I made before I updated. Please help

    Without the iPad connected, open up iTunes on your computer.  Go to iTunes/Preferences/Devices and delete the backups that you're absolutely certain do not have the documents.  Refer to figure below.
    iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "NO" to creating a backup.  (You don't want to create a new backup that does not have the docs.)  You will then be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad.  This time, say "yes."
    Repeat all of the above as required until you get the docs.

    Thanks for the help.  The restore seems to have solved the problem.  I had a bit of a panic attack when things started going haywire and the Apple 'Support' told me to call back during business hours!

  • Since updating to iMovie '11, I have two iMovie icons in launchpad

    I update from iMovie 10 to iMovie '11 today. Since the update, I now have two iMove icons oin Launchpad - one one the first page and one on the second page.
    This isn't a life-and-death matter, but doesn't seem right.
    Any thoughts about how to sort it?

    I also have this duplicated iMovie icon since upgrading. Anyone know how to get rid of it please? I have tried the old click and hold technique to bring up the cross, but i dont want to delete the app, just the duplicate icon (both icons are linked to iMovie 11).

  • Creative Cloud had me update Lightroom. Now have two versions. Neither works. What is Adobe doing?

    Creative Cloud had me update Lightroom. Now have two versions. Neither works. What is Adobe doing?

    1. I have Creative Cloud and Lightroom v5.7.1.
    2. CC offered a new version of LR.
    3. I clicked download new version.
    4. I now have 2 (two) LR shortcut icons on my desktop monitor screen.
    5. The new version doesn't open.
    6. The old version opens. Window pops up - LR catalog can't open. Quit other version of LR. Also - preview of image in LR is blank. Says photo missing.
    7. Computer specs? Don't know what you want. 32Gb ram, i5, 1Tb
    8. LR worked fine before upgrade.
    9. Reached Adobe by phone. Started to talk. Line went dead.
    10. My phone is working fine.

  • I updated to OS X Mavericks but I now have two Pages and two Numbers icons in my Dock.   Both contain files and folders.  I am not convinced that Mavericks installed correctly, but what should I do?

    I updatd my MacBook Pro to OS X Mavericks, but I now have two icons in my dock for Pages and two for Numbers, both of them contain files and folders.   If I click the original Pages icon it says that there is an update available, if I then click to update the Itunes pages says no updates available.   I am not convinced that Mavericks updated correctly.  What can I do please.

    There are new versions of the iWork apps, but they have been completely re-written for Mavericks / iOS / iCloud integration. They are feature limited at this time, so Apple left the original versions on your Mac. They are in an iWork folder in the applications folder.
    Along with changes to the programs themselves, the file formats are different. Some things like Google and Dropbox think the file formats are viruses and blocks them (I don't know if that is still the case as I don't use either). So, you may want to continue to use the old versions.

  • When I update to ios5 will I have acess to Siri?

    When I updated to ios5 do I have access to Siri?

    Siri is only a feature of the iPhone 4S. There is no information out there to suggest the iPhone 4 will get it later. Just going by history, most of the time Apple will just forget about the previous products and just look to the next device. Siri is only still a Beta at the moment anyway so they still need to perfect it before it is added to any other devices.

  • Tried updating Iphone 4 and now have got all my brothers apps and his apple ID sign in?

    Tried updating Iphone 4 and now have got all my brothers apps and his apple ID sign in?

    You must have synched your phone with his iTunes account.  The iPhone can only be synched with one iTunes account at a time.  You need to synch your phone on a computer that has YOUR iTunes account.  Then all the current data on your phone (your brother's data) will be erased and replaced with your own data.

    You need to install Java SE 6 to run those programs. There has been quite a bit of discussion here about that. Something at one of these links should get you going...

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

    I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

    Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant.  If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.
