Thank you so much for what you do. So nice to have a steady, nonfrantic voice. Many elderly have hearing problems so you might consider skipping the background music.
Rich you are a treasure. I love your way of explaining. I have been an Apple user since the late 80’s. I am 85 still learning. Thank you
Thanks for the kind comments. So glad you found the videos helpful!
Thank you so much, Mr B - your voice is so easy to listen to. (I *like* the music and I'm hard of hearing.) Maybe at some point you could do a short video explaining the different Apple passwords, I always seem to put in the wrong one! Thank you.
How to control "pages" on the iPad shown as a series of dots - how to add/remove "pages" & how to move icons to specific "pages". Thanks for your easy to understand tutorials.
Excellent. Thank you
Rich, Thank You so much for your Videos. I just happened to stumble upon you videos, and I love them. You're simple to the point direction is what we Seniors need. Thank you again, So much.
You are very welcome!
Thanks Rich. I've always wondered how people find a lost or stolen apple product! Now I know! 👌
You're welcome!
Excellent very clear presentation.
Thank you kindly!
Thank this is my first time using and I don’t understand what is apple Id and I asked my kid 14 but not good enough understand because they are didn’t have time to explain now I understand thanks
thanks, you're the man
You're welcome!
Thanks!
No problem!
I’m so excited to find you. I’ve learned so much in the last few day’s re: IPad and IPhone. 👏☺️
Question. Hubby is notorious in misplacing his phone and pad. How do I add him to Find My and mine to his.
Thanks i understand what you are saying and now i have learnt something new my son talked to me about this but nas since passed and i didnt quite understand him
Glad it was helpful. Sorry to hear about your son.
Our household shares one Apple ID for App Store purchases and downloads; for the rest, each of us has our own. It seems to work and allows us to share Apps and, presumably, music.
You’re doing a great job - make everything easy to follow. Thank you.
You're welcome. That's my goal with each of my videos.
Nice and easy explained. Thanks
Now I have a question 4U if I may:
Can you please explain how to change the AppleID from an existing Apple e-mail to other iCloud email addresses such as an Alias email address.
Thanks
Very good
Thanks
Bedankt
Wow! Thanks so much. I appreciate that!
I love your videos…I would like to be able to use files to save recipes from utube….Ann from Ottawa
You can save recipes in Apple Notes. You can either type them in yourself, or use the camera to take a picture of the recipe card and add that to a note. A lot of people do this with recipes. Thanks so much for watching!
What is a sink that you're talking about and where do I find it?
My wife and I have our sep Apple IDs and each pay the monthly fee to Apple for extra storage for each IDs. Sounds like we could share, yet be separate for APPS & photos. Along the lines of what Hal S commented below have you or would you do a video on this subject. Just found you wealth of information & enjoying it. Thx.
So I'm going to do a video on family sharing. It'll be coming up soon. My wife and I use it and it saves a lot of money. Thanks for the comment.
@@RichBowlinfamily sharing cost?
Please explain how to set Apple ID up
Could you comment in the future about setting up husband & wife Apple ID? I know you said to keep separate but how about sharing messages, emails, etc.? Thanks.
You can certainly give it a try. Just use one Apple ID for all your devices. If you're going to share email, then there's only a need for one email address. Same with messages. I think the rub comes when you want to do something separate and you find yourself hemmed in by one Apple ID. Let me know how it goes. It may be perfect for the way you and your husband use the iPad. Good luck and thanks so much for watching!
thank you for your tutorials. Do I need to stay signed into my Apple ID. What happens when I sign out?
Yes. You should stay signed in. If you sign out, then a lot of the functions as well as access to iCloud is discontinued. Hope this helps.
I’ve. Lost. My password. I can still. Use. Passcode. For. Email. Etc. Ie Apple. Email. But if I want. Purchase. Anything. From. Apple. I can’t. And I live. In. Regional. Victoria and. Reset. Everything. The nearest. Apple. Shop is in. Melbourne. I have proof of who I am. Birth certificate etc. how. Do. I fix this. Yours. Sincerely Stephen RIMINGTON
I never miss any of your videos, you explain very well
I have one question?
Me and my husband have different iPhone and iPad
My pic and videos stored in 1 TB of one drive which I subscribed for
How can my husband take advantage of this who is having different ID
I'm not sure how that would work if you're using One Drive by Microsoft. I do know that you can share photo libraries so that what you have on your iPhone will show up on his iPhone. I made a video on how to do this. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/QAfHSPggGoc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=RichBowlin
How do you set up Apple ID?
I'm sure I'm not the first, and won't be the last. I have lost/forgotten my apple ID, and cannot open my i-pad. I am totally lost, and would like to retrieve the use of my unit. Any suggestions Sir??
I know this seems oblivious but especially for seniors, make sure your spouse, loved one or trusted friend know your Apple ID and pin code to unlock your devices. I have a friend who’s not at all tech savvy, his wife handled all the banking, bill paying, paperless bills online, etc. She never bothered to give him the pin codes or Apple ID so when she died suddenly, he couldn’t access any of their information she had on her devices. It was a mess that took months to sort things out.
You know, I never know what to do about this given the severity of sensitive information and such. But honestly, if one spouse is tech savvy and the other is not, there has to be a way to make sure the problem you describe doesn't happen. It's hard enough dealing with the passing of a loved one, but then to be locked out of everything when you're just trying to gather information and wind up an estate is a real gut-punch. I've been thinking about making a video on this topic. Thanks for your wisdom.
Here’s one for you. My husband and I both have an iPad and both have our own separate Apple ID. My iPad is asking me to update Facebook and Messenger. No problem. I am logged into my Apple account BUT when I go to update, the pop up box is using my husband’s Apple ID email instead of mine?? and is asking for HIS password even though I am logged into MY account?? How does this even happen. I therefore am unable to update at all. Any solutions?
I’d like to know when everything changed that’s how far behind I am
Can I retrieve forgotten password
I have just watched this video twice and I guess I'm waiting for you to explain how to set up an Apple ID. You explain what it is used for but not how to get it started, or am I just dumb?
I agree. Rich should explain how to set it up
Dumb? Absolutely not. Observant? Yes! I only mention that Apple ID can be setup in the Settings app on the iPad. I should have explained that this setup process occurs when you turn on your iPad for the first time. The iPad walks you through the process without you really knowing what's going on. I'll try to do better in my next video. Thanks for watching!
@@kathleenwanek3964 Yes. I should have been more specific. I'll do better in my next video. Thanks!
@@RichBowlin Thanks Rich for your answer. I do enjoy all your video's on the I-Pad 9th Gen. Keep up the good work.
Nice interesting video, but you forgot one thing, is there any charge to get an Apple ID or is free?
It's free.
Can you retrieve old password
Thank you for your simple and easy to understand tutorials. I have recently bought a new ipad, and l made the mistake of using same Apple id and I cloud . The two are synced. Now l wish to give the old ipad to my grandson, and have no idea how to separate them , as every time l do something on one , it is automatically synced. Would appreciate it very much if you could make a tutorial on how to have two separate I pads with new Apple I D. Thank you very much.
No problem. You can go into setting and reset the iPad and then hand it off. Then you can hand it off to your grandson and he can set it up with his Apple ID. Hope this helps!
@@RichBowlin Thank you very much.
Just erase content on old iPad, reverting it to factory. Then you can use same Apple I.d. On new iPad. New owner can set up iPad for himself.
Pl let me know how to transfer data from one Apple id to another.
As far as I know, this is not possible. The closest you can come to this is by setting up family sharing. But this only shares app purchases. You can share documents and folders with another person so I guess you could share everything from the old ID to the new ID. Not ideal. Wish I could help more.
@@RichBowlin Thank You so much for the reply. Much appreciated.
How can I recover a lost Apple ID? I now have several Apple devices and want to make sure they all use the same Apple ID.
How to sync iPad to android phone
No direct way to do that. iOS and Android are 2 very different systems that don't "sync" with each other. What specifically are you trying to sync?
Haha must try harder some off us are right Dumb in 🇬🇧
Ha! I'll do my best. Right! Thanks for watching.
I have forgotten my Apple ID password how can I retrieve it
Hi. You should be able to go to Settings>Tap on your name at the very top left>then tap Password and Security>Change Password. From there, you'll enter you iPad security code and can change your password. Hope this helps!
What is I-Tunes? Is I-Tunes still used?
The main problem with Apple ID is people make up passwords and forget them, or they make to simple passwords.
The *** HOW *** is missing. The video is just a ad. for apple. If you lose your Apple ID. GOD HELP YOU!
I have waited up to 1 month for Apple to ALOW ME to change my ID. It depends on the mood they are in.
Your background music is nearly drowning you out.
Give people what they are looking for……( not) what (you ) want to give them.
Thanks!
WOW! Thanks so much! That was so nice of you.
