Why are all my devices "connected"

My whole families devices are somehow receiving everyone's face times and contacts. Even though we all use different emails my whole family receives my facetimesmand I will recieve theirs. Can someone please help on how to fix this

That happens because you are sharing an Apple ID, which is the primary ID for FaceTime. You can log out of FaceTime on each device, then create a new Apple ID just for FaceTime to resolve this. For Contacts you will have to create separate IDs for iCloud. That has other complications, but it is how to separate contacts.

Why are all my devices acknowledging my wireless network through my time capsule, but only one is able to connect to the internet?

This started when I changed the port for cable modem access. If I shut everything down- router, MacBook, and iPhone and restart the router... the device I turn on first will connect to the internet. The second device will read the wireless network but if you attempt to connect to the internet- it states no internet connection is available. Is this a security feature I enabled unknowingly? Very frustrated.

You are using your TC in the wrong way.. in bridge and it has to be in router mode.
Simply make sure you connect SB5100 to the WAN port of the TC.
Go to the airport utility, manual setup, internet tab on the bottom and choose connection.. ethernet.. and down the bottom connection sharing.. share a public IP.. sorry I don't have the exact wording as my TC is in pieces being fixed.
Update and then shut off everything again, particularly the modem.. start everything in order.. modem.. wait 2min.. then TC.. wait 2min then all the computers .. they will get an IP from the TC. With correct address and gateway.
What was happening is the first device to turn on was capturing the one and only public IP. The rest get local IP without connection.

In iTunes under my device, under the apps tab, Why are all the options shaded out? I cannot make any changes, select any apps or do anything with the apps. I was able to load a few apps and sync but cannot sync anymore to my phone.

Hi,
( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
So the menu bar reads iChat, File, Edit, View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
There is no Buddy List open.
There is no other window for iChat open.
In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
Is an item ticked in the list ?
Is this a green (Available item) or Red ( an Away one) ?
Can you access the Accounts option ? (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
Is anything in here ticked ?
In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
Type in:-
~/Library/Preferences
Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

Why are all urls coming up invalid when I am connected to my wireless network?

Why are all urls coming up invalid when I am connected to my wireless network?

First back up the registry
Go to Start > Run --> type in regedit and hit OK.
Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\LocalSettings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify.
Delete the values IconStreams and PastIconsStream.
Open up the Task Manager, go to the Processes tab, select explorer.exe and click End
Process.
Open the Applications tab and click New Task at the bottom-right of the window.
In the message box that pops up type in explorer.exe and hit OK.
Explorer.exe will reload, and the missing icons should now be back in the system-tray
where they belong.

All my devices connect to a single base station, instead of the one closest to it.

Hello,
I have an Airport-based wifi network and it works great. The only problem is that all my devices connect to the main base station, instead of the one closest to them. This has created a problem because my house is large enough that I need the extra access points to extend my network. So when I go to another part of my house, away from the main base station, the connection gets slow. This is also a problem for my Apple TV. It is closer to my Airport Time Capsule, but still tries to get its signal from the main AirPort Extreme, making screen mirroring slow when playing a video. Right now I have 1 Airport Time Capsule, 2 Airport Extremes, and 1 Airport Express.

My Airport Time Capsule is extending from my Airport Express.
This is not possible.
The way apple extend works is a hub and spokes type of system. You cannot double extend. It is possible however to do a complex system with the express as a wireless bridge and ethernet connect that to the the Time Capsule. If you do such things.. slowness is a guaranteed part of the package.
Even double hop wireless will slow things down dramatically.. and for streaming video by airplay mirror is to be avoided. You need to use more ethernet or some hard wired alternative like EOP (homeplug) adapters.
The symptoms you described there are kind of the problem. This is especially a problem for the Apple TV. It makes screen mirroring very slow. I will try some of the diagnostic programs and see what I can find. Also, what difference would what channel they're on make?
I don't understand why the Apple TV is roaming.. surely you have it fixed in one place and plugged into a TV. The problem is not the ATV it is the other end device that you are streaming from.. if you are moving that around the house then that is wrong way to do things.
For screen mirror which is highly data intensive.. and often has issues with speed even up close.. you need both devices running 5ghz wireless in the same room with each other.. and you should setup wireless so that no extend can happen in this scenario.. it will simply not work over extended wireless. It barely will work over wireless at all. In fact you should look at either plugging in the ATV or plug in the device you are mirroring by ethernet.
Channels matter because they interfere with each other if too close.. or the neighbour uses it. Or you have a cordless phone or an AV sender or security front door TV system or a baby monitor or a zillion other things which all use the free 2.4ghz band.

Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon? How can i get rid of them?

Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon? I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it. On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
Help

Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos" this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app. The same can be done with the music.
As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
"Sync only checked songs and videos". Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
good luck

Why are all my contacts suddenly 2 hours earlier than they were entered. I just noticed this today April 24

Why are all my entries on Icloud 2 hours earlier than they were previously entered. I just noticed this today April 23? They do not match what is on my Ipad or on my imac. Looks like the clocks are not syncronised someplace.

Your post is fascinating because your post header says "today April 24" while your post body says "today April 23" So maybe that is related...
Anyway, make sure all your iCloud devices have Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically = "On".
Also, in iCloud.com, open Calendar, go to Preferences (upper right) > Advanced > and check "Enable Time Zone Support".

I have all my devices connected to iCloud. I would like a reduced contact list on my iPhone without removing any from my master list on my computer. How do I delete contact numbers from my phone without disrupting the master list on my computer?

Are you trying to reduce the visual clutter on the phone, save space on the phone, or limit the security exposure if your phone is stolen?
If you are only wanting to reduce the visual clutter and make scrolling through the list faster, you could set up a group on the computer containing only the contacts you want to see on my phone (called, for example, "Show on my Phone") and enable only that group inside Contacts on the phone. You might even have one or more existing groups that you could enable that way (maybe "Family" and "Personal").

Why are all of our cords breaking, so we can not charge anything?

Why are all of the cords so cheap, and breaking?

I am pretty certain that Apple put something into iOS 6.1.4 to REJECT all 3rd-party power cords. Ever since I updated to iOS 6.1.4, my most trusted cord (4 months old) has been saying, "You cannot charge the device with this cord". BZZZT Apple strikes again !!
Either that, or the new "Kill your battery as quickly as possible" software in iOS 6.1.4 has been draining power so rapidly, that my 3rd-party cord cannot keep up with the massive power-draw from iOS 6.1.4 !! Don't upgrade !!

I just set up the airport wireless modem - with a comcast internet router - all wireless device connect seemlessly (3 Iphones, Mac Air, and a Sony Laptop) but my IPAD 1 no longer connects. It tries to but never connects. I have reset it and have airprot utility app downloaded on my IPAD - it shows the modem and the internet no connected?

Do you mean an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to a Comcast Modem?

This morning Find My Phone alert went off on all my devices connected to my Apple ID at the same time, is this a bug or should I be worried that my id is hacked? I didn't have Find My Phone app installed on many of these devices. Please advice. Thanks

Why are all paths in Clipping Masks and Compound Paths?

When I open up previous versions of Illustrator files (i.e. CS5), why are all of my paths messed up. Every object is embedded in a Clipping Mask, paths are compounded and in most cases type on a path is expanded into multiple non-editable objects. This causes complete redesign. This is terrible.

Because Illustrator accessed the PDF part of the file.
---> this points to corrupt files.
How were those files transferred to your computer? Are they on a server?
How old are they?
Which versions were they created in?
Did you already try to restart (the computer)?
Any plugins installed?

Why are all of my file icons appearing to be PDF files?
