What will happen to my ipad and apple phone if I reset daughters ipad mini to factory settings, we are getting each others messages and mail

Hi I have my laptop, ipad and apple 4 phone. Youngest daughter has ipad mini which I connected to my laptop to download free games, music and photos, now the ipadmini thinks its me and we are getting each others messages etc. If I reset the ipadmini to factory settings, will this delete and/of effect my Ipad, Apple phone, I don't want everything DELETED on my devices. HELP
Thanks

Yes it would be her device you remove your account from, but she would need an email address to have an Apple ID.
I guess if it's only messages that you want her to use, you could create an iCloud email address alias and let her use that for messaging.
First you'd need to create an alias for your iCloud address, you can do this at iCloud.com > mail, click on the gear icon in the bottom left corner and select preferences, then choose the accounts tab. The alias could be her name.
After creating an alias you will need to add it to her device as an ID for messages, go to settings > messages > send & receive > Add another email.
While you are there make sure she only sends and receives messages from that address, you also need to ensure the same settings on your devices use anything but that address.

I have a similar problem. My brother originally owned my Mac 13 computer. He has a I phone which he synced to this computer. Then when an update for his cellphone came up I let him upgrade with my apple password and he gets my messages and gmail.

If you have never synced with iTunes before and you have content on the iPad, you need to transfer the content into iTunes before you can sync, or iTunes will erase your iPad and replace it with what ever is currently in your iTunes library. If iTunes on your computer has no content in it, you will totally erase your iPad of all of the content that you downloaded.

We have 3 kids with ipods, all on one apple id and they complain that they get each others messages, apps etc. what can I do to change this?

We have 3 kids with an ipod touch each. All are on one apple id (mine, so they have to come to me to authorise purchases) and they complain that they get each others messages, apps etc. What can I do to set this up differently, so they can each manage their own content etc but not make purchases?

Go onto all iPods, and turn on "Restrictions" and disable installing apps. The apps do auto download, and the only way around the messages problem is to make 3 Apple IDs. When installing apps, it will ask for a "restrictions" password, and you can enter that.

I share an Apple ID with someone but we are now on iOS8 and getting each others messages on our iphones and ipad. How can I split the account safely as well as protect icloud backed up data?

Use different Apple IDs for iMessage (and also FaceTime) to avoid getting each others text messages (and FaceTime calls). One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (and Settings>FaceTime), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. You can continue to shared the same ID for the iTunes store and other services.

HT1386 I last updated my husbands iPhone 4 and since then we are getting each others text messages. Sometimes when I text a person that is on bothe our contacts it will come through as my husband and not me.

Try this:
On all impacted devices, go to settings, messages, send & receive and place a checkmark next to only those phone numbers and email addresses listed you want that device to recognize.
Good luck!

I just upgraded to the new OS. Now my wife and I are getting each others texts, and when we send a text to each other, it duplicates. How can we separate our text messages?

My wife and I are getting each other's text messages. How do I turn that off so I get mine and she gets hers?

On each Device, go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive... and make certain that each device only has 2-items with check marks your phone number and your email address. click on the other persons number and email address such that it is not checked.

What will happen to my songs and video if I.....

I have my Ipod loaded with music and videos, but my PC hard drive just crashed. What will happen to the content on my IPod if I load Itunes on a new computer and connect my IPod to it. Someone told me that it will reint the IPod and I will lose all my stuff.

Yes, there is a very real risk of you losing the contents of your iPod.
You should go about recovering that content to your computer first.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

Can my family use 'find my iphone' for each other if we each have separate apple ids? recently had to create separate ones b/c we were getting each others texts/facetimes and i read this happens when you share an apple id.

Can my family still use the 'find my iphone' app from our iphones / ipod touch to locate each others phone if we have separate apple ids? We were sharing a single apple id but recently we started getting each others texts/facetimes .. I read that this happens when you share an apple id. Will we just have to sign in with the others' apple id to locate their phone ?

Use Find My Friends app instead. Much easier to manage, and you won't need each other's id/pw's to do it. They only need to accept your invitations and vice versa.

HT201269 My latest back up was on March 14th, 2013. My boyfriend has been using my Apple ID so we are linked on iCloud. Just recently we got each others contacts and now we get each others messages. Will that setting be changed if I switch phones without

Okay, so I cracked my iPhone 5 and just got a new 5s in the mail. I'm using the same number, sim and everything. My latest backup was on March 14th, 2013. My boyfriend uses my Apple ID for a year now but we just recently got each others contacts and now we receive each other's messages. Will we lose that setting if I don't back my phone up before switching new phones? Cause I didn't have that setting before when it was last backed up. If I could back it up I would but I don't have nearly enough storage so that's why I'm asking lol. We want to keep the setting like that so we still get each others contacts and everything

You can always resync the Contacts, Notes, and Messages by signing into those services with the same AppleID once you have the new phone set up.

What will happen after disabling iCloud and connecting my iPhone to my iMac?

Now that I disabled iCloud on my iPhone, indeed the data is still available on my iPhone.
But now I tried to disable iCloud on my iMac, the data is lost.
Is it safe to connect my iPhone to my iMac and will my data (from my iPhone) be restored on my iMac? Or will I los all data?
Thanks in advance for your advice!

The other 2 applications open like normal. All three give me info.
Pages     ver.4.1          265.8MB
Numbers ver. 2.1          89.5MB
Keynote ver. 5.1.1        238.1MB
They all list Apr 3 as the last time opened. That was when I upgraded to Mavericks. I certainly used pages and numbers since then as I have alot of my work files on this computer?
Just very odd. I did find my original iWorks disc from when I bought the computer. I'm assuming i can reinstall it. Will try that. Thank you for all your help. Would still like to know what did happen?

Lightroom 4 conversion to LR 6-what will happen to my presets and pics in LR4..??

Hi, I currently have Lightroom 4 installed on my Mac and several catalogs of photos within that. I'm about to purchase and install Lightroom 6, but am not sure how that will affect my Lightroom 4 and all of the pics within it...

Lightroom 6 will find your catalog that you have been using and will prompt you to create an updated copy of it. It is the updated copy of that Lightroom 6 will open, and all of your work will still be in place. Remember, your photos are not "in" the catalog. They are simply stored in folders wherever you imported them.

Hi I reset my Ipad mini to factory settings and before doing it i deleted my apple Id account which is linked to my ipad .. now I am not allowed to go ahead with thr resetting process aim stuck

hi
Iam Using Ipad Mini, I reset it toFactory Settings ad now iam not able to go ahead with the reset process for my pad mini. Before performing ipad reset i deleted my apple Id.Please help me with this issue

OK, so he needs to go to Manage your Apple ID, and click on Reset Password for the old Apple ID: Apple - My Apple ID
If he doesn't remember the Security Questions, then he can contact Apple Support and they will reset them for him:
ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
Once you get the password reset, he can then type in that new password when the prompt comes up, and it should allow him to sign out of his old iCloud account.

HT201210 Had a message to say my iphone needed plugging in to itunes, did this but then couldn't even turn it on (apple symbol on my screen) trying to restore to factory settings but keep getting error (16) don't know what to do now :(

Had message on my iphone 4 this morning that I needed to plug it into itunes. Did this but could only get a blank screen with apple symbol on it. Tried to do a system restore but keep getting the message that it couldn't finish restoring

Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.
