What are the implications of changing your Apple id when you own multiple devices?

Hi There,
I would like to change my regular email service provider and instead use only my new gmail address. My apple id is the same as my regular soon to be replaced email address. I understand that in the past you could not change your apple id but you could change the email address associated with the apple id. However now it seems that you can change your apple id and by this I dont mean getting a new one, I simply mean editing the old one and infact Apple encourages people to make sure that their Apple id and email address are the same. So, my questions is considering the fact that I own multiple Apple devices (iPhone, iMac and iPad), what will the implications be of doing this and what do I need to consider before I change my Apple id to my new Gmail address? I know for example that apps are apparently permanently associated with a single Apple id so I guess I will have to redownload and pay for them. But what do I need to do on my iPhone, iMac and iPad to make sure that iMessage, iCloud etc is unaffected and continue to work properly. I guess for a start I need to tell everyone who communicates with me via iMessage that they have to use a new Apple id for example. I am worried that a change like this will cause mayhem among my devices and I'll regret it. Right now I have kept my old Apple id and simply added an alternate email address to my account that being my new Gmail address. Maybe its simpler to keep it this way. Thanks in advance for the words of wisdom. Cheers.

  • PY-India: What are the implications of changing the financial year?

    Hi All,
    I am working on Payroll India.
    the client i am working for has a financial yr from March to Feb.
    What would be the implications in terms of changes required if I change the usually followed Apr - Mar financial year in SAP to Mar - Feb in Payroll? And what implication will this have on all the legal reports provided by SAP like form 16 etc.
    Specifically I wish to ask should I ask the client to change his financial yr to Apr - Mar or should I change financial year in SAP to Mar - Feb?
    Amit Upadhyay

    it would be better to go for mar to feb as per our inidan fin year
    there will be implications in tax related issues pls check those things before changes the fin year

  • HT3051 can you change your Change Your Displayed Name if you have multiple devices attached with the same apple id?

    We have both a Iphone 4s and a 4th Generation Ipod Touch both with the latest available IOS software on them. Since the Ipod touch was given to a preteen for Christmas and they aren't old enough to have their own email account or apple id 11 years old going on 12, is it possible to have a different displayed name for each device if they are both signed in with the same apple ID and not interfere with each others device in doing so?

    @pdroth. Displayed name as in when you sign up for a apple id you sign up with email and a screen name(this is your display name). If you are using any apple device as like you do with an android device you have to sign in with either your google acct for android or apple id for a apple product. If one apple product is utilizing that apple id already aka Iphone and you can't set up a account for your child because of his or her age because of age restrictions, both devices will use the same info. So for instance when using things like facetime instead of seeing jane doe calling jane doe(basically making it show name of other person using your account instead of seeing your own name) can you make on jane doe and one john doe using the same apple id just different outgoing display name. Hopefully this helps.

  • What are the implications for installing Creative Suite applications when there is no internet access?

    I need to install Creative Suite on a network that has no internet access. Various FAQs indicate that you must be on line to active, but there you can create a package that doesn't require on line access for activation. However, if an off-line package is used, does the application still need access to the internet for continued use?

    The Adobe CC can work as desktop app without internet for up to 90 days once activated by being online & signing up the account with your Adobe ID .
    You need to log in online once in 90 days.

  • I'm thinking of upgrading from 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this? What are the implications / consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware?

    I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. I know, I'm years behind, but it has become a necessity. My Mac is becoming slow and is incompatible with many softwares and websites. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this upgrade? What are the implications and/or consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware? Are there any precautions I should take before the installation? I have read some posts about Macs slowing right down after installing Yosemite. Any insights and information (in layman's terms please!) would be very useful. Thanks.

    Huge thanks for your response Michel. I apologise for the delay in getting back to you. I have done as you suggested, the details are pasted below. Clearly there are some applications I need to remove and no doubt my HD could do with a 'spring clean'. My Mac 'Safe Booted' when I turned it on this morning.
    I use many different softwares, some web-based. The decision to upgrade to OSX Yosemite is because I was unable to attend a Webinar this week using GoToMeeting downloadable software. GoToMeeting have upgraded their system and my OS is no longer supported. Other websites like VImeo no longer support my version of Safari. I tend to use Chrome if Safari isn't compatible.
    Problem description:
    I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. However I have noticed that my MacBook Pro becoming ‘slow’ over the last 3 weeks and therefore might have some issues that need to be resolved before I even consider installing OSX Yosemite. Over the last week my Mac has Safe Booted on three occasions, so clearly there’s a ‘glitch’ occurring.

  • If we activate MRP Areas what are the implications on other plants.

    Q:- If we activate MRP Areas what are the implications on other plants.
    My Business is having many plants with different business
    eg :- One Plant (1000)MRP is currently being executed at Project Level MD51
    Second Plant (2000) MRP is currently being executed at Plant Level ,
    Third Plant (3000) is currently being executed at materail levels only (MD02/MD03)
    Issue  :-
    for our new scenario we need to execute MRP  at MRP Area only -- Storage location MRP run
    So we would have to activate MRP @ MRP area level , but doing so
    You convert the existing planning file entries at plant level to planning file entries at MRP area level.
    To convert the planning file entries, you use the report that you trigger in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Convert planning file entries for MRP areas.The system creates a new planning file and MRP areas for the existing plants. These MRP areas, however, do not affect how material requirements are planned. The number of the plant MRP area is identical to the plant number and therefore has four digits.
    Preparing for Material Requirements Planning with MRP Areas - Special Planning Processes - SAP Library
    Can any one provide , what are the drawbacks , if activated at MRP Areas are activated , since it is activated at client level ,
    Will it impact my current MRP execution process for other Plants ??( other plants MRP is being executed at Plant MRP /Project MRP / etc,,
    Please Reply /Share your comments urgently
    Regard's
    Tallha

    Hello Tallha
    The only visible impact is that you will have an extra field on MD04 and another MRP transactions.
    If you simply activate MRP areas but don't create MRP areas for the materials, your process will not change and you should be able to continue using MRP as you were using before.
    There is a positive impact on the conversion of the planning file may improve the MRP general performance.

  • What are the consequences of changing the scratch disc??

    What are the consequences of changing the scratch disk? Everything was fine with my project until I tried to work on a new project for someone else. I uploaded new footage to a new session and changed the scratch disk to my other external hard drive. Now there is confusion with my initial project..

    This is something we all live with. You have to be careful going back and forth between projects, if you are using different scratch disks for each. If you are editing a project on one scratch disk, then start a new project on another, remember to switch back to the original scratch disk when you go back to the original project. Otherwise render files will wind up on the wrong drive, or worse, you will capture to the wrong drive. Each issue is correctable by managing your media over to the proper drive, and deleting then deleting from the other.

  • What are the benefits of buying from Apple as opposed to other retail stores?

    What are the benefits of buying from Apple as opposed to other retail stores?

    You can buy from an Apple store, which has a 14 day return policy.
    You can buy on-line from Apple and get a new or refurb model (less $), and get engraving if you want it.
    Some retail stores have a more generous return (30 days?) policy.
    You can buy from an on-line Apple Authorized Reseller. I bought (with free shipping) mine from MacMall because I didn't have to pay sales tax. I paid with my American Express CC to get, for free, an additional 1 year warranty.
    Regardless of where you buy you still get the 30 day Apple Care and 1 year warranty. You can extend, for $, the Apple Care for 2 years. Or you can buy, for $, Apple Care +, which provides accidential damage repair insurance. There's also some 3rd party sources to buy the accidential insurance.
    Some retail stores and on-line stores offer a small discount or add a bonus item.
    It's your choice. Find the best deal.

  • What are the best AirPlay speakers for Apple devices?

    What are the best AirPlay speakers for Apple devices? I would like to get some good speakers to be used with my iPod, iPhone and iPad. Ideally, they should be able to play using AirPlay and be quite powerful, but with a good design if possible.
    I am particularly interested in the Fidelio range of speakers by Philips.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Best is going to be a matter of opinion.  What environment are the speakers going to be used in? How large is the room? What type of music are you going to play? What features/functions would you like in the speakers? What price range are you looking for?  All of these are going to effect which speakers will best fit your needs.

  • What are the implications of using jquery version 1.10.2 rather than the version (1.7.1) that Adobe

    What are the implications of using jquery version 1.10.2 rather than the version (1.7.1) that Adobe uses? Thanks
    Bob

    I am having trouble when my Edge Animate composition (banner ad) appears on a web page that uses jquery version 1.8.23. Some of the functionality of the host page no longer works. This occurs only when my composition is present & the functionality returns when another ad is displayed (either a Flash ad or a gif). It happens in Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m, Chrome Version 33.0.1738.0 canary & IE 11.
    I had edited my Edge Animate files to use the Adobe CDN option & to point to another server (mine) so only the html file was needed to be placed in the ad rotator & on the host's server. I now have edited them again to include the Google CDN locations for version jquery 1.10.2 (http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js). I am waiting for the host site to try this updated html file. When I visit just this new page & the old one that pointed to 1.7.1 for that matter, it works fine.
    Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my message.
