The bookmarks created on my new MacBook are showing on my wife's MacBook. We are using two different Apple ID's. What are we doing wrong?

My wife has had her MacBook for about a year. She was originally using Apple ID we can call #1. She later created and began using Apple ID #2. I just got a MacBook and began using Apple ID #1. When I set up my bookmarks in Safari,what I thought were her old bookmarks were there. When I deleted them, while we were on two separate Apple IDs, I deleted hers. (Fortunately, I backed them up first.) Now when I add bookmarks they show on her separate Apple ID. I checked and it seems that she is signed out and the old ID has even been deleted as an option on her Mac. Because of my work we need to keep these things separate. What are we missing?

In System Preferences>iCloud if you click Account Details do you each see your own unique Apple ID?

Is your MacBook Pro early 2011 or newer. If not that is whay you cannot mirror and a third party app called airparrot would help.

Each user account may have its own Apple ID.

I've purchased apps from the App Store using two different Apple IDs. Is there any way to consolidate them under one ID?

Sorry, John, according to Apple, it's not possible to merge accounts.

I am new to iPad. I am trying to download a movie and it tells me "download error" what am i doing wrong?

I am trying to download a movie from iTunes and it gives me an error message "download error - retry" what am I doing wrong??

I must found this tip when I did a Google search. The text inside of the quotation marks is from this site.
http://www.eddieoneverything.com/articles/how-to-fix-the-ipodiphone-download-err or-tap-to-retry-error-without-using-your-pc.php
"I had this problem as well, however I did find one way to get this to download on my iPhone. What I found that worked was to tap to retry the download and as it’s attempting to download it again I hit the pause button (I had to be quick). Once it was paused I hit the button again to resume the download and it successfully completed. I hope this helps some of you out until Apple fix this bug."
This was posted in an iPhone forum, but it applies to the iPad as well. Maybe this will work for you.

I was using iphone4 and iphone5 as well,i want to use two different apple id but dont want to loose the apps and data's .I still want to use same datas but with different id is it possible ..?

I want to create new apple id, but dont want to loose existing data's downloaded using existing id.I still want to use two apple id

No. All apps purchased are forever linked to the original ID and there is no way to transfer them.

I have two iphones and I want to use two different apple IDs on the same computer without any syncing of the two phones?

I have two iPhones. How do I have two seperate apple ID's on one computer without them syncing.

You can either do as sberman suggested - create separate User logons on the computer
or
You can make sure that you are syncing Contacts, Calendars, and Mail via the individual iCloud accounts.
Then, for Apps, Music, Movies, Books, Photos, etc. you would set up each individual iPhone's options to only sync what you want to have loaded to each of the phones from the iTunes and Photo libraries. You do this by setting up the individual Device Profile pages to have only what is selected for that particular device. When you hook the device up via a USB cord, you will see the device Profile pages to the right of the sidebar. Select each Profile page and set it up as desired for the particular device.
Also, turn off Automatic downloads in Settings>iTunes & Apps Store>Automatic Downloads on each device.

Problem with using two different apple IDs on the same iPhone 4s

my friend installed an app on my iPhone 4s using his apple ID. Then I created an apple ID for my own use. I then installed an app on my iphone. But, there's a pop-up box containing my friend's ID and asked me to put his password. How can i use my own apple ID?

All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the app. In order to install an app update available for an app downloaded and installed with your friend's iTunes account will require using your friend's iTunes account and knowing your friend's iTunes account password.
If a paid app, this amounts to stealing. Delete the app that was downloaded with your friend's iTunes account and download the app with your iTunes account if an app you want.

Can I use two different apple IDs on my iPad, one from the US and one from France? I have tried creating different logins but I received a notice that said if I used the french store that I would not be able to login into my other account for 90 days??

I am trying to use both a french and US account so that I can utilize different apps from each store. Is this possible, and if so am I able to go back and forth by loging in and out?

You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country...

Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

You are being asked to Install iTunes 11 on your Computer.
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
You need that if you have iOS 7 on your Device.
What type of Computer do you have and what is its Operating System

HT201263 I have tried this several times but cannot switch the ipod touch back on - but every time I connect it to itunes it says that is in recovery mode stil. What am I doing wrong?

I have tried several times to unlock my daughter's ipod touch by following the instructions, but so far I cannot turn the ipod back on. Everytime it seems to be finished updating I unplug it and it again says that the ipod is disabled and gives me the prompt to start again. Can someone help please? Am I doing something wrong?

- Try DFU mode and restore:
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
Next try the manual install as described here:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
After yo successfully download the file, plae the iPod in recovery mode and try a restore.
It sounds like the file is not fully downloaded before the recoverymode expires on the iPod.

I can't get my iPad to work on my tv using apple tv. What am I doing wrong? Was told I could play my apps on the tv

In the instructions it says to go into home share in advance which is on my computer. I'm using an ipad2 and can't find it! Helpppp.

Make sure you actually have a 2nd Generation Apple TV and that it's on the same Wi-Fi network as your iPad 2. Using your Apple TVs on screen menu, go to Settings > AirPlay and make sure that it's turned on.
On your iPad 2, double tap the Home Button to bring up the App Tray/Switcher. The screen should slide up and you will see some app icons there. Slide them to the right and you should see a Speaker icon, a brightness slider, some iPod music control buttons, and a button with a square and a triangle at the bottom. This button is the Airplay button. Tap on it.
You should see two choices. iPad and Apple TV. If you choose Apple TV, there is a switch that says mirroring. Slide the switch and your content on your iPad should now be mirrored on the TV through the Apple TV. (Some apps don't allow mirroring but most do.)

Bought music on itunes but one album wont sync onto my iphone. All others are fine, i have removed it and reloaded, re synced etc but to no avail - what am i doing wrong!?

I have bought loads of music off itunes before and loaded to my iphone. I recently bought an album that for love nor money will not load to my iphone although is clearly visible in my itunes account. I have tried removing it and resyncing it, reloading it, syncing and then reloading the whole phone but still to no avail. Any ideas what I might be missing!?
Thankies
Sarah

Hey Sarah!
Have you updated your phone to iOS 5.1.1? I know the most recent update aided to resolving this issue. If you have updated, though, does the album look like its downloading and then stops or "crashes" at the very end?

I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDMI so I could watch videos from my computer on my TV. My TV then shows my basic computer background but the videos won't play. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDML. The TV recognizes my computer; I see my basic computer screen on the TV. I tried to watch videos on my TV but got nothing. (tried via my facebook vidoes and Youtube. What am I doing wrong?

I've got a similar (but different!) problem: I have a MacBookPro3,1 running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I want to connect to my HD TV using a HDMI to DVI cable but the MBP cannot detect the TV display. What's the solution? Is this a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.8 ? Any ideas what I can do to make things work with the HDMI to DVI cable. (N.B.: I have separate audio cable running from the MBP to amplified speakers for the sound side of things. It’s the video that’s the problem!)

I create a playlist with songs that I purchased from itunes and when I try to sync it to my iphone some of the songs are missing but when I go to the playlist in itunes the song is there. What could be happening? What am I doing wrong?

I've created playlists with songs I've purchased from iTunes and also added songs I've purchased from iTunes to existing playlists. Everytime I go to sync the playlist to my iPhone I find some of the new songs missing from the playlist. I've deleted the playlist from the phone and reinstalled it. I don't know what I"m doing wrong. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem?

Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
