When you have 2 apple IDs with apps: How to access all apps on a device?

Hi.
I couldn't use my newly bougt IPhone because for some reason I wasn't allowed to use my old Apple ID. I got help from an Apple Chat-service (which I can't remember how I found...) with creating a new Apple ID, but where's my previous purcases? I had a ton of apps on the old ID, how do I transfer them to the new one? I've bought some apps with the new one, but it seems like I must delete all my previously bought apps to access the new ones if I want to sync with my laptop (can't sync with two libraries on PC)... It would have been so much easier if I could just merge the IDs completely...

I found out that I can download things from App Store on the iPad from a different ID that is used to sync with PC. But it would have been nice to just have one ID for all, plain and simple. Merging of acoounts should be possible, this would make shopping much less complicated for users who have to use several IDs.

How to fax on a secondary line when you have 1 jack with two lines?

I have two phone lines accessible through one wall jack. The default line is my voice line. I wanted the secondary line to be the fax line.
I have set up the fax preferences and have specified the fax line (which appears to be just for header info). I can send a fax out but it uses the primary line. I have tried to send a fax to the machine but it doesn't catch the second line.
Is there something additional I need to set up or do I need 3rd party software or a second physical jack or some kind of line splitter for the jack.

Hello,
Go to Wal-Mart, or some other store that sells phone wire and adapters. Look for a small adapter that plugs into your phone jack.
It should specifically be labeled to split a two line jack into separate line 1 and line 2 jacks.
They usually have 3 jacks on them. Line 1, Line 2, and Line 1 + 2 (which would be the same as your normal jack).
Make sure it's not just a splitter, but also actually divides your phone lines. They usually cost about $3 to $6.
Radio Shack probably has them as well.
Once you plug that in, you can plug your phone into the line 1 jack, your computer's modem into the line 2 jack, and anything that can use both lines into your Line 1 + Line 2 combination jack.
I hope this helps.
Let us know if you have other questions.

What do you do when you have an outdated email address and cannot update your apps?

I bought my Mac Pro in early 2012 and had a Cable email address which I put as my Apple ID and iTune Store address. Later in 2012 I moved and no longer had access to that email address and changed my Apple ID and iTune email address. The problem is I have 3 apps that need to update but are under the old email address ID and I cannot change it I don't remember the password, and they cannot send anything to that former address to get the password. This is especially important to me because one of the apps is iPhoto that I use constantly and love. What do I do to remedy this situation?

Go to the Mac App Store main page, choose Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say. If you don't get any help from them, delete those applications and then download them from a different Apple ID; this may require repurchasing paid applications.

TS1702 I have 2 Apple Ids on my phone I purchased an App on 1 id but when I tried to upgrade it it used my other id, therefore the app would not download because of different id

I have 2 Apple Ids on my phone I purchased an App on 1 id but when I tried to upgrade it used the other id and the App wouldn't accept it as different account name. Asking me to download the App for this id. but can;t because the App is already installed on my phone.

you have to use the same ID you used to purchase an App to update it.
Normally when you go to the App Store and tap update for an App your iPhone will prompt you for the correct ID needed to update that particular App, but if this is not happening, then you should go to Settings, Store, sign out of the other Apple ID and log in with the one you need to update the App that is already installed on your iPhone..

How do I resolve this error message? The iPhoto library is on a locked volume. Reopen iPhoto when you have read/write access, or reopen iPhoto with the Option key held down to choose another library.

Hi j,
I don't know if this will work, but I'd try logging in to an admin account, going to your main library (not user library), opening it, opening Application Support, selecting iPhoto, hold down the command key and press i, click on the lock in the lower left, entering the password and making sure you have Read & Write privileges for System and Admin.

For me, a time capsule is even safe when you have whatter damage op fire in your house. Am I wrong or is it just an additional HD like there are so maney with the only advantage that it goes automatically via your wifi for apple devices?

Jloe,
As I have posted before, You, and others having issues with Verizon would be much better off if you complained to the FCC and FTC as well as your Senators and Congressmen. We, as individuals, have such small voices - use them where they might do the most good.
Also, don't assume that Verizon doesn't monitor these postings, they actively do & sometimes contact those that post complaints.
Sorry for your problems. GC

HT1551 Does Apple TV shut down when you switch back to regular TV? Or do you have to sign out and how do you do that?

Does Apple TV actually shut off when you switch back to regular TV? Or do you have to sign out? How do you sign out? Or is there another way to shut it off? Thanks!

No, you need to go into the settings and select sleep now.
You can also press/hold the select (centre) button on the remote for 5 seconds.

How do you transfer Apple IDs from one ipad to another iPad? I got the new ipad and gave my ipad 2 to my wife who had the first version and now I can't get my Apple ID off so she can use her Apple ID.

how do you transfer Apple IDs from one ipad to another iPad? I got the new ipad and gave my ipad 2 to my wife who had the first version and now I can't get my Apple ID off so she can use her Apple ID.

You don't transfer Apple ID's from one device to another one. You sign out in the settings, )the App Store and iTunes if necessary) and then sign in with the other ID.
Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID>Sign out. Them sign in with the other ID. You can sign out of the app store and iTunes as well by going to the featured Atab in the App Store and the music tab in iTunes, swipe to the bottom and access the Apple ID in there.
You should have erased the iOad before you gave it to her in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. That way she could set up the iPad as new with her own Apple ID.
Be aware of the fact that if you use each others ID's in order to download past purchased content to your own iPads, you will lock yourself out of your own ID as you will have associated your iPad with the other person's Apple ID.
In other words, if you sign into your wife's ID on your iPad so that you can download an app or an album so that you don't have to pay for it again, you will lock yourself out of your Apple ID for 90 days.

HT1296 How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users?

How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users in house? I just tried to sync my iphone and cancelled sync becauase I saw it was updating my phone with my husband's apps! How do I make it so that sync can distinguish between my and my husband's phone?

I sync two iPhones and an iPad with one iTunes library on the same computer and each device has different content. Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes. You can transfer the same music and apps to each device or different music and apps.
Are you sharing the same Apple ID or iTunes account?

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
