Hello, I have an iPhone 5S running IOS 8.0.2 which I sync to iTunes on my iMac. My wife will shortly inherit an iPhone 4 which has been reset to factory settings and which I recall will run IOS 7 but not IOS 8. She will want to manage this from her Windows PC and so will install iTunes on that

Hi Paul, Family sharing is an IOS 8 feature. Your wife can go ahead to create her own Apple ID and password to set up the iPhone in her name. All she need to do in order to use the apps you already purchased with your ID, is to go to settings iTunes and logout and login with your Apple ID and

Interesting because it did do a manual of mine but the strange thing was that it did only about 10 lines of the page. The print appears very faint to me but then that is nothing to go by. Just surprised it did not do the whole page as I tried with single sheets of A4 as in a letter and it had

Paul, If she only uses your account, then all your apps will sync onto the iPhone 4. Make sure that you uncheck the items like mail accounts in iTunes before syncing it, so your account information is not in her mail, or she will be getting all of your messages too. And I don't think you will

I wonder if these problems might have to do with not enough contrast between the item being scanned and the surface below it, and therefore, KNFB having trouble zooming to the right point? Just a guess, I don't have KNFB reader installed. Glenn - Original Message - From: Eleanor Martha
