Re: Apple Id

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Chris,

You have not mentioned if you wife already has an Apple ID, or if you are both 
using iCloud / iCloud syncing.

My comments are below In Situ.

Sounds like the Apps were purchased using your Apple ID and synced via your 
iTunes Library, is that correct?

Your wife needs her own Apple ID.

Some facts to consider before giving a solution:

• An Apple ID is linked to each iTunes account.
• An iOS device can have apps on it from any number of iTunes accounts
• A device can only sync with one iTunes library at a time.
• Syncing a device with a new iTunes library disassociates it from the 
previous library (and deletes the media synced from the previous library from 
the device).
• iCloud accounts store contacts, schedules and email and have little 
to do with your iTunes content. 
You probably want separate iCloud accounts unless your wife wants to get 
reminders for your appointments and vice versa.
Given this information, there are a couple of solutions.

Solution 1:

You and your wife use separate iTunes accounts with separate iTunes Libraries, 
on two different computers. 

Here, you each keep your stuff separate, but you can authorize her iTunes 
library to use media from your account and vice versa. 
See Apple knowledgebase article: 

You still will want different iCloud accounts (if you are using iCloud).

Solution 2:

You use separate iTunes libraries, separate iTunes accounts, but your wife can 
sign into your iTunes account in the App Store app on her iPhone and download 
any of your previous purchases.

>From Apple knowledgebase article ht1311:  

"The account ID that was synced to the device is displayed at the bottom of 
each page [in the App Store or iTunes apps], so you'll always know what account 
you are using on the device. 

Simply open iTunes or the App Store on your iOS device and scroll to the bottom 
of any page to see which account is currently in use. 
You can also see this in Settings under the Store option."

I would recommend  Solution 1:
Then you each have your own Apple ID's, your own iTunes Libraries, Media, 
Books, Apps etc.

I would most definitely recommend using two separate Apple ID's for iCloud 
syncing. 
While you can have multiple devices attached to a single Apple ID (as you do 
with your iPhone and iPad), all of the same information will be pushed to all 
devices, meaning you would not have the ability to maintain discrete contacts, 
calendars, bookmarks, etc. 

Apple ID's in general, and for iCloud use in particular, are really designed to 
be single user identifiers.

The good news is that using two separate iCloud ID's does not prohibit you and 
your wife, from still sharing App Store purchases.
 iOS devices maintain separate login information for iCloud syncing, App Store 
and iTunes account info. 

So if you decide to go with Solution 1:

A) If your Wife does NOT already have an Apple ID she needs to "Create an Apple 
ID" at the link I supplied previously:


B) If she already DOES have an Apple ID (but her iPhone is showing your Apple 
ID, as your email address is showing.
1. On her iPhone Go to: Settings > iTunes & App Stores >tap the Apple ID shown
2. Sign out.
3. Sign back IN with her Apple ID or her NEW Apple ID (if she has created a new 
Apple ID in A)

Hope what I've written above is clear and helpful to you.

Re: FireFox won't open web page.

[Alan Smith]

Hi Peter

1.  Good to hear you have no problems loading the downloadhelper dot net page.  
It must be the black storm cloud over that follows me around.   Tested again 
today.  FireFox doesn't time out while searching for the site - after about 6 
minutes it suddenly displayed a partially loaded page.  Other websites appear 
to load normally within a second or so - e.g. ABC News,  Bureau of 
Meteorology,TUAW, Apple, Comsec.  None of these had any caching history in 
FireFox.

2.  I used to have FireFox 3.6 but was forced to "upgrade".   And iViewFox 
stopped working.   Only used FF for emergencies since.   The FF add-on Firebug 
was recommended to me for the "split screen" feature while editing in 
WordPress, hence my renewed luke-warm interest in other FF add-ons.

3.  I have a feeling my iMac is not 100 percent fit and can't cope with 
Mountain Lion.  Perhaps it has reached its planned obsolescence use-by date.   
It shows other strange behaviour from time to time (see other WAMUG threads!)   
Latest peculiarity was an unusable eyeTV recording of an ABC 21 program 
yesterday. 

4. Not worth pursuing the downloadhelper dot net loading issue;  I'll just 
write it off as another peculiar thing.  Probably write off Firefox too.

Cheers
Alan

No problems here. I haven't updated Firefox in a while, so I started with 7.0, 
which automatically updated to 12.0, and is now 15.0.1. The downloadhelper page 
loaded perfectly with each update. The downside is that the few FF plugins I 
had installed are all now incompatible with 15.0.1, and no suitable 
replacements can be found. Fortunately I rarely use FireFox so this not a big 
problem, but if this is any indication of what an "update" does then I will be 
using it even less. Since, like you, Safari is my default browser, I doubt if 
any form of blacklisting has been used (a practice which on the face of it 
would seem to be extremely self-defeating!).

Do you have any problems with other sites using Firefox? I do know that 
Firefox's behaviour has changed significantly since their new aggressive 
updating policy came into play, and certain websites which used to load 
properly in earlier versions of Firefox where Safari would fail are now almost 
unusable in Firefox.

Re: Apple Id

[Chris Burton]

Hi Ronni

Thankyou very much for your help on this.

As Cath doesnt rarely does online activity with her phone, she was surprised 
when she tapped the App store icon that showed several updates to a number of 
apps. When she tapped to update the Apple Id loggin appeared and she noticed it 
had my email as the user name as I had mentioned. 

She wants to put in her email address as her Apple Id then choose a password. 
That would be better as then my email and password would remain for my iphone, 
ipad etc.

Should I get her to follow your instructions to change her complete apple id 
and password for her iphone using her laptop at the apple page you mention?

Thanks heaps Ronni

regards

Chris

Re: updates

[Ronni Brown]

And can be downloaded from here:  For people who prefer to update from Apple 
Downloads than  the App Store as I do.

Note: The update has NOT fixed the issue Unable to 'Save > "Add to iPhoto" ' in 
Apple Mail 6.1  Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2,
or Control-Click or Right-Click on the image and select "Export to 
iPhoto"...  drat!!

The attachments "Save" drop down menu to "Add to iPhoto" is definitely BROKEN.  
  
If I choose "Quicklook" then "Open with Preview" then click and hold "Open with 
Preview" then THAT "Add to iPhoto" works.   
Please Apple, fix this broken link feature in Mail.
