Whats the best way to connect multiple iphones, ipads, ipods with multiple accounts to one mac

I have iPhone 5s, ipad 4th gen ipod classic and mac mini on one itunes account with iphone 4s with ipad 1st gen on another account (wife's account) and also want to be able to add to this in the future. I want to connect through the mac mini and be able to use music movies calanders reminders etc through all our i's, whats the simplest and best way to go about this, before i start down the wrong road.

Ok, here is the link to the original thread.  The key, for him, was that all of the pads used the same apple id, and needed to be set up identically.

The other trick they use for distributing materials for whatever class was using the pads, was to create an e mail account that they all had acees to.  The documents, pdf, or whatever, would be e mailed to the account.  Each kid accesses and downloads the email.  Does whatever they are supposed to do, and e mails the done result back to the mailbox.     Easy for the teacher and the kids.

  • What is the best way to connect a Iphone 6 to a RCA input TV?

    Hello, hopefully someone can help me out. What would be the best way to connect a Iphone 6 to a TV that only has a RCA input? Thanks for the help.

    don't believe you can RCA is just a connector both composite and component use RCA connectors both are analog and only component support 1080i composite only support 480i or something
    apple used to have pin30 -> both composite and component but with airplay mirror those went absolete

    i use an old G4 Mac Mini running 10.5 Leopard, and it's on 24/7
    it runs in headless mode (ie no monitor) and i remotely administer it using remote desktop (or logmein if i'm out the house).

  • Whats the best way to backup my iphone?

    Hello. I am brand new to iphones....actually to apple anything. Never owned an apple product.  I dont quite understand the whole itunes/icloud thing at all and I was hoping someone could explain it to me.  All that I wish to accomplish is make sure all of my stuff on my iphone(apps, pics, music, etc) is backed up regularly and in the event that my iphone is lost/stolen, breaks, needs to be replaced for any reason, or if I upgrade to a new iphone I would like to be able to recover everything. 
        OK, so far I have itunes installed on my laptop and I "sync" with that regularly (pretty much whenever I install a new app). But is my understanding correct that by syncing with itunes all of my stuff is stored locally on my laptop? If that is true, then what happens if my laptop crashes? So thats where I thought icloud came in. So I started backing up to icloud (via wifi in Settings>icLoud>storage&backup).  But I notice that when I backup this way it is actually only backing up a small amount of data (in-app data??) rather than the entire app. 
        I thought you would be able to sign into icloud.com and be able to view everything that you have ownership of or what you have backed up but that is not the case. I did download the icloud control panel to my laptop and it shows a little more information.
        So bottom line is I just need someone to explain how this stuff works and what the best course of action is for me to take regularly to make sure everything is safe, Thanks everyone!  I sincerely appreciate any help you can give me!!

    bjs19781978,
    There are 2 ways to back up as you have stated.  iTunes or iCloud.
    You are correct in saying iTunes backs up everything on your computer.  If you do lose your computer though, you will lose that information, but you would most likely still have your phone unless you lose your computer and phone at the same time which would royally suck.
    You can also back up to iCloud like you have said.  iCloud does not back up in the exact same way as iTunes, it only backs up application data, contacts, address books, and a few more things.  The advantage to this is it does it automatically if you are connected to wifi, the phone is locked, and the phone is plugged in.
    Look at this link to see exactly what iCloud does back up.  Hopefully this helps a little.
    Apple - iCloud - backup

  • Whats the best way to connect mac mini to my DAC

    I want to connect a mac mini to my DAC to then connect to my home stereo. The input options on the DAC are usb (b), coax digital & toslink optical. What is the best way to get the digital audio out of the mac & then into the DAC?

    IAW these specs:
    Features:
    USB: 24/96 up sampling to 192 Hz
    Toslink and coaxial: 24/192Hz
    Galvanic Isolation: ADuM 1250 chips
    Asynchronous Burr Brown Chip AD1896
    DAC Chip: PCM 1798
    R Style Transformer
    State of the Art Components: ESA Clarity capacitor filters, gold plated RCA jacks
    (Although this was copy pasted from your DAC maker's web site, it should be 192 kHz not 192 Hz.)
    The Toslink would be a better choice because the USB would have to use up sampling to reach 192 kHz. The USB would work though. Use a USB cable from the Mac to the DAC. Then use the Mac's Audio Midi Setup to select your DAC.
    The audio output jack on the Mac is a combination Line Level Analog output and a Laser Toslink digital output. You can buy Toslink cables that have a miniature phono laser plug on one end and the more standard Toslink on the other.
    Or, you can buy a miniature phono to Toslink adaptor.
    plus a cable
    Note: If you don't have any digital source material above 96 Hz, then the USB and Toslink connection would be toss up, sic.

  • Whats the best way to connect my tv to my JVC Projector tv?

    I have a newer tv and I have a JVC Projector tv I want to connect it to the tv but it has no hdmi inputs. My Charter box as a place to plug in an hdmi cable, but I don't think its an input. I do know the tv only has s-video and component cable inputs, but if there is a way of "dumbing down" to component or going through the cable box I don't know how to go about doing so. Anything?

    Not all HD tv's are capable of accepting 720p, it would be worth checking with your manual or your manufacturer.
    We don't have netflix in the UK, but I understand it too is protected by HDCP and so a compliant converter will not work. Sorry I can't recomend a non compliant converter it's against the Terms of Use for these communities.

  • Whats the best way to connect to an HDMI TV for presentations?

    I have an HDMI 15 ft cable with two male ends. They do have wireless where I wil be but not sure I trust it.

    If you can't trust the WiFi and/or they don't have an Apple TV or a projector that has an iOS app available, then you'll need Apple's DIgital AV adapter with the appropriate connector for your iPad; 30-pin or Lightning connector.
    Regards.

  • Whats the best way to import files from my ipod to my itunes

    I recently had to purchase a new laptop, and would like to know if anyone has a good way to import my library from an Ipod Classic to my new laptop(running windows 8). I don't know what software is out there for PC based Itunes. I had Best buy back up my stuff to a external hard drive, but some of my library is missing. Any help would be much appriciated, thanks!

    Time Machine is for making backups and restoring ones it previously created. It doesn't restore data backed up or copied in other ways. In your case, it's better to use a cloning utility or manually drag the files than it is to use Time Machine.

    I'm hoonesstly not sure about the second mobile me account. My guess would be that you will need another one though. The only way to see her calendar is to log into her user account. Not a problem if you have her password.

  • Whats the best way to share music?

    whats the best way to share music on 2 computers with 2 different accounts?

    Turn it up so the person at the other computer can hear it
    Seriously though, put your iTunes library in a shared folder.  One computer has to be the "master" of the library.  The second computer will just connect to it.
    Set the second computer to connect to that Library on the shared folder.  Make sure that "Keep iTunes media folder organized" is turned OFF on the second computer.

  • What is the best way to connect my old 1st generation iPhone to my stereo receiver so I can listen to pandora?

    What is the best way to connect my first generation iPhone to my stereo receiver so that I can listen to Pandora through the stereo?

    I am hoping someone will answer this question you have asked. I just purchased the iSimple Gateway system and even though it says on the box that it works with the iphone3G when I plug it in to the 30pin connector it says that it does not support. It does work when I plug an iPhone4G . I have to use the headphone jack only with my 3G to listen to Pandora untill I figure out the problem .

  • What is the best way to connect a MacBook Pro to my HiFi system ?

    Hi,
    I'm new to Apple support communities having just bought my first Macbook Pro (a 17" 2.5GHz i7 model) and this is my very first community post.
    Im a bit of a Hi-Fi enthusiast, so, with my new MacBook Pro I've taken the opportunity of completely reloading my iTunes library in high quality Apple Lossless format. Took a while but now I've completed the task Im pleased I've done it.
    My question is, what is the best way to connect a Macbook Pro to a high quality Hi-Fi preamp - my Hi-fi system is musical Fidelity, and the pre amp (an A5  CR Pre amp) and this pre amp, which has superb audio quality, only has analogue phono inputs ? 
    I'm interested to understand what both the wired and wireless connection options are. I'm guessing one option must be to use the headphone output, but I have no idea if the output from the headphone socket on my new macbook (which is presumably designed to drive headphones) would be at a suitable level for a phono line level input ?
    Ive also read a few comments about using digital connection - and my second question would be - what is the audio digital connection on my macbook ?
    Aplogies if this question has been asked lots of times before but I've looked through some previous posts and can't find any answers in simple and straightforward language concentrating on the issue of connecting a MacBook Pro to an analogue phono pre amp input ?
    Thanks in anticipation of some advice.

    What is the best way to connect a MacBook Pro to my HiFi system?
    Look at the back of the reciever and see what your connection options are, the front headphone jack is output usually.
    The Mac's  analog audio in/out ports doubles as a optical in/out ports.
    The analog won't over power your amp, it's just a headphonejack, like a powered mic, just enough power to get the signal to the destination in one piece.
    Since you have a analog amp, your stuck with inferior analog connections, however you mentioned you wish to listen to the best sound quality of your lossless music.
    To do that your going to need a decent surround sound system with Toslink optical import jacks, a Toslink stereo jack to regular Toslink adapter, Toslink cable and enable the optical output in your System Preferences >Sound
    Another method is to use a Airport Express, it also has duo analog/opical out port. Then set up the Airport Express for iTunes streaming using the Airport Utility, then in iTunes setup the lower right corner one can set the connection.
    I recommned a Harmon Kardon surround sound system, with their 100 watt satelight speakers and the 200 watt subwoofer. Enable the "concert hall" and other neat effects which will turn your 2.0 (stereo) iTunes music into 4 channel speaker sound filling the room with music and sending the lower channels to the subwoofer.
    It will likely bring tears to your eyes that you can actually hear the full quality of your music as intended, I almost quarranty you will never want listen to music on a crappy iPhone or iPod again.
    If a surround sound system is out of your budget, you can get by using the Harmon Kardon "Go Play" portable stereo and a analog stereo cable.
    If your going to use your analog amp to power reference speakers, then there are various analog adapters of all sorts to make the appropriate connections once you know what they are, check out Radio Shack online for them.

  • What is the best way to connect to home theater receiver ?

    what is the best way to connect iPhone to home theater receiver?

    For audio, video, or both?
    Audio:
    I use AirPlay.
    If your receiver doesn't support AirPlay, you might try USB or Bluetooth.
    If it's an older model that doesn't support any of the above, the mini-stereo-to-RCA cable may be your best option.
    Video:
    Try the Apple A/V cable.
