Upgrade all device in one go.
i want to use downloaded ios 8.0 for all of my 3 iphone and ipad without downloading the ios 8.0 again for each device.
The software for the iPhones and iPads is different, so you can't avoid downloading at least twice.
If all your iPhone models are the same (e.g. all GSM iPhone 5S) and you update via iTunes on your computer, once it downloads for the first iPhone, all the other ones should give you the option of starting the update right away.
If they're different models of iPhone (e.g. one is a 5S, another is a 5C) then again, you're stuck downloading multiple versions of iOS 8.

We have just moved into a new apartment with concrete walls, hence WiFi signal is quite weak in the other end of the apartment. Not all devices can see each other depending on which AP i am associated to.
Basically I want to have any wired/wireless devices be able to see my NAS/Office based components and keep the LivingRoom tidier. Only device in LivingRoom will be ISP components and AppleTV.
Some additional notes on current setup
- LivingRoom has the ISP issued Router/AccessPoint
- the ISP Router/AP is currently setup as a) AccessPoint b) DHCP server and c) default gateway to get to the Internet
- LivingRoom AP SSID is 'LivingRoom'
- DHCP pool is on the 192.168.1.0/24 range
- Default GW is 192.168.1.254
- in the LivingRoom i am also using the Router/AP ethernet ports for AppleTV
- connected to the Router/AP is a long Ethernet cable to the other end of the apartment in the Office
- on other end of the long Ethernet cable is an Airport Extreme in the Office on the WAN port
- the AirportExtreme is setup in 'Bridge' mode
- Connected to the Office_AirportExtreme is a) a NAS device physically in the Office via Ethernet cable b) WebCam in BedRoom2 via WiFi
- Office_AirportExtreme SSID is 'Office'
- all devices confirmed are assigned an IP from the LivingRoom Router/AccessPoint and on the 192.168.1.0 pool
- at this time in only have WebCam and NAS however Plex and Desktop coming shortly as we are still unpacking
Issue
a) When my laptop is associated to SSID 'Office' i can see the NAS and WebCam; able to PING and hit via HTTP
b) When my laptop is associated to SSID 'LivingRoom' i CANNOT see the NAS/WebCam; I am unable to hit the two devices behind the Office_AirportExtreme via PING/HTTP and I am able to surf the Internet, however cannot see the NAS/WebCam
Question
a) is there some other config on the Office_AirportExtreme that must be done to disable any Firewall type capabilities that is limiting the ability for devices on other side of the Office_AirportExtreme from seeing the devices behing the Office_AirportExtreme?
b) is this ideal config?
c) is it typical to have different SSID? would like to get to just single SSID for the apt, however not sure if there will be conflict i'm not aware of.
Totally open to any suggestions on others that have done this before to avoid reinventing the wheel...
See pic below...
Thx -RayNote that after additional poking around and disabling Wi-Fi all together confirmed that when wired to either the ISP Router/AP or the Office_AE, i am able to see both NAS and WebCam behind the Office_AE.
The issue seems to be with the ISP Router/AP where by there is a difference in behavior when connected via Wi-Fi vs Wired. All is well with the AirportExtreme from what i can gather.
i'm just going to pickup a separate Wi-Fi access point to provide coverage for the LivingRoom area instead of trying to figure this out further.
FYI. I am in Singapore using SingTel Fiber service and the ISP Router/AP i am using is Aztech DSL7000GRV(S) -
Internet Speeds drop drastically on all devices when one device is streaming media
As described in the title, when one of the devices on my home network begins streaming media, speeds are drastically reduced across all of the devices.
Comcast has always stated that you can do whatever you want on any device without it affecting the other devices in your home.... but streaming on one device brings all the other devices in my home to a crawl.
This was always the one thing that set Comcast apart from AT&T in my opinion, and if this is no longer the case, then Comcast can say goodbye to my subscription.
I am paying the extra $10/mo for Blast internet also.... and this is completely unacceptable.exactly the same experience here, installed the xfinity app on an ipad, and when someone is streaming to said IPAD from the xfinity app, the other wireless connections in the house become practically unusable. Even wired connections to the modem/router itself start lagging out. Even something simple as looking at a forum and making a post is almost impossible if someone is streaming a t.v. show. Clearly not what is advertised. Really dissappointed.

I have a mac 10.5.8 with leopard. I would like the newest does that mean i have to upgrade all the ones before?
If you have a PPC (G4 or G5) iMac you can not upgrade any further.
If your is an Intel based iMac:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X. For detailed information see this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271 )
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is still available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Before installation you should back up all your data.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Yosemite OS 10.10 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
Yosemite will run on the following Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
The requirements for Yosemite are the same as they were for OS X 10.9 Mavericks,
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Yosemite you can purchase the code to use to download Mavericks from the App Store (requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-Mavericks
or Mountain Lion:

We have our family sharing one itunes account. we have 3 iphones, 2 macbook airs, 2 ipads and 1 mac. I am not sure how we even got started on the icloud but somehow we did and everything is a mess. The ipads are showing the text messages, the contacts are all combined, the apps that my duaghter downloads are appearing on all devices. how do we fix this so contacts are not shared, messages are not shared and apps are not automatically synced to all devises?
You have two different issues going on. You are getting each other's messages because you are sharing the Same Apple ID for iMessage. This can be corrected by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on add the devices and doing one of the following:
Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on all of your devices; or
If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your devices, on all of the other ones tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so all devices will be using a different Apple ID for iMessage). Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores. It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services.
The second issue is that you are sharing the same iCloud account on your devices. When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
First decide which device(s) will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one(s) that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else that you want to keep on the device(s), save these to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this device, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On [iDevice]. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a separate Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. Repeat this process for all the devices that you need to migrate to new accounts.
When finished, to un-merge the data in your accounts you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa). -
Naive question but here goes.
As a family we have one Apple ID. All devices are synced via my PC and backed up to it rather than to iCloud.
Books purchased via Kindle App appear on all the devices within the "cloud" option. How do I separate each reader's prefernce to their own device? I want to make sure that the younger one's dont have access to anything unsuitable.
Thanks.You can have one AppleID for your purchases so that all teh devices can use all the apps without having to buy them again, and at the same time, have different iCloud accounts for each user so that their content is not intermingled with everyone else's. You can even go so far as to have your iCloud Account enabled for "Find my iPhone" for each of the other devices allowing you to keep track of where tehy are when they get misplaced.
If you need/want, you can share iCloud Calendars between different iCloud accounts as well. This is exactly what my wife & I have done. We share calendars so I know when she has classes or dog competitions, and she can see my work schedule so she knows what nights I have to be in late, etc. -
i have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?
i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
hence why i have 3 now
hard to believe you cannot combine into one
oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3
thanks -
Multiple devices on same account - how to transfer ALL files in one place?
Hi,
I am using my Apple ID on 5 apple devices, incl. 2 laptops and Mac. Need to migrate all files to one computer for syncing with iPhone and cut out some devices, but...
Question 1: How I can move ALL my music files from old MB Pro (runs Mac OS X 10.5.8) with iTunes 10 to Mac (runs Mac OS X 10.9.2) with iTunes 11.1.5?
Note, this includes songs purchased outside of iTunes and burnt from CDs. Is it possible to somehow easily identify the songs that are missing on Mac and copy just them from the old computer, but without manually comparing? For now for whatever reason Mac only has 401 songs vs my old MB Pro has 1670+ songs. So, please suggest how to make the import on the missing songs to Mac as efficient as possible.
Question 2: How do I deauthorize the device once I copy my old music to Mac? Currently only see the button "Deathorize All" in iTunes on Mac. What if I want to choose which computers I still want to be able to stay on the same Apple ID in iTunes?
Thanks a lot!!Decide which Mac is your primary. On the Mac that is not the primary - create a folder on the desktop - drag all the tunes from iTunes into that folder - copy that folder to an ext HD or a memory stick.
Plug into the primary Mac and tell iTunes to import all the tunes from the folder.
iTunes has good sort options so it won't take long to get rid of the duplicates using the Show Duplicates from the View dropdown menu.
An alternative would be to check at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ and see if there is a script that will take care of what you want.

We had one family apple id. I want to keep all devices on the same apple id for itunes but separate for everything else on the cloud. How can I change the other apple ids now? We have 3 iphones and an ipad.
Hi, thank you for this post. I hope you might be able to help me too?
I am relatively new to apple (have an iPad) and having been a PC user for years I was pleasantly surprised with the apple experience and am now trying to work out the best set up for me, my husband and young son as I am buying them both of them apple products this Christmas. New Mac laptop/ ipad for hubby and then an ipod touch for my son oh and a new mac laptop for me. We are also thinking of moving from Blackberries to iPhones. Yes we seem to be hooked! but i am unsure about the home family set up and how to replace my PC network that I run off an 8TB server.
In reading the forums I keep seeing people talk about problems they have with two apple IDs and trying to merge them. I have also heard about a family ID allowing us to share apps legally. I am really nervous of setting us up wrong and then having problems later and hence i am now looking for some advice on how to share as much as we can legally but also make usage practical and not invading each others privacy. thoughts so far:
Music - I think we are happy to share the same music and access using one ID (we currently don't buy much music from apple but have lots of CDs we share).
Photos - It would be nice to share photos - as long as my son or husband cannot accidentally delete photos of mine (which is my biggest concern). I currently load all camera photos onto my 8TB storage box as the network owner and my husband has full access to copy any photo to his laptop but can never delete the original copies by accident.
Apps - If possible i would like us to share these but they are cheap enough these days to separate if really needed. Would be good to share licence for pages etc though
cloud, contacts, facetime, email - this is what is making me consider separate IDs or learning how to have multiple users in one apple ID - I do not want to have to share synced contacts with my husband. I have near 300 contacts now through work etc and he will not want them plus i will not want his or him being able to delete mine by mistake. and then for email and facetime, well I want to give him his privacy so I do not receive his messages etc. especially now that we are considering switching to iPhones
Then last but not least, i don't know the best solution for my son. he is only 7 years old so even though I don't want to pay for things again I don't want him being able to download "just any" app from the purchased icon in Appstore. Also, is there a child friendly setting to prevent him from viewing inappropriate content on the internet?
Appreciate I have asked a lot of questions here but I am looking for any genuine advice out there. Thank you or other potential advisers in advance. -

I have a few devices on one apple id and would like to switch out one of my phones so they have there own apple id do I have to restore the phone as new or can i somehow switch it without losing all apps and music in iTunes?
Hello lynnettefromsk,
The article linked below details all of the locations that you may need to change your Apple ID. This process should not affect the state of anything on the device at the time.

I have a iPhone and iPad on one iTunes account, I have recently bought two further I touches fir the kids , should I set them up with their own apple ids and the can I transfer purchases through all devices,
Hi jhyiesla,
Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
Further,
- You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
- If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks
Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple. -
The situation:
Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, the following sequence of events has happened with my laptop.
1. I come home from work.
2. I open the lid of my laptop.
3. I see the white "your comptuer's messed up" screen. I click a button to restart.
4. We lose wifi. This affects all devices.
5. I restart the router and modem.
Once it's restarted, I have no issues - until I leave for work and bring the computer back that night. I've checked the router and modem - no issues there, as it works perfectly for every other device in the house, and even works for the laptop perfectly (once they've been reset, that is).
Some notes of clarification:
1. The wifi does not die with any other device - this includes an iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and an iPad 1.
2. BUT, when the wifi DOES die, it affects every device in the house.
3. My laptop does not do this with any other wifi - only my home wifi.
It seems to me that the correlation is in the initial connection. When my laptop initially tries to connect to our home wifi, it's as if it fries both the connection and the computer. I see a lot of issues with people losing wifi for their computer, or slow wifi, but I haven't seen anything that relates to this wifi death across all devices when the laptop is reawoken after being at work. It's like there's something messed up with the switch from work wifi to home wifi.
Please help!

2011 MacBook Pro 15-inch
OSX 10.8.1 (12B19)Hi,
I had a similar issue with Time Machine after upgrading my iMac (where the Time Machine HDD is connected and shared from) to Mountain Lion. This was fixed by following the instruction from this site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4700. It seems that Mountain Lion introduced a more secure network protocol which may not be supported (yet) by the network drive.
Hope this helps.
