Can 2 users have the same email login with different passwords for seperate itunes accounts

My daughter is currently using the home email address for her account and i have just purchased an ipad. I would like a seperate account. Is it possible to use the same email address as the login and have two accounts.
Thanks
Tracey (a mum who is trying to catch up with technology)

It is possible to have two different Apple ID accounts and have a common contact email address, if that is what you are asking. The potential problem is that the Apple ID is in the form of an email address so it can cause some confusion. It would probably be best to actually own the email addresses that match the account IDs.

  • TS3899 Can two people have the same email address and password on their phone?

    Can two people have the same email address and password on their phone?

    I guess so.    But the email content will mirror on both phones.
    If you are talking about your Apple ID and iCloud email, yes, it is possible, but again the phones will mirror.   You should not have the same Apple ID and iCloud both.  
    Why?
    If you explain the reason for the question we may have a solution that works for you.

  • How can 2 users of the same email account tell if one has already read email

    I have 2 users who access the same email account and they need to know if an email has been read by the other person so work doesn't get duplicated.

    I assume you are using IMAP. Probably the most simple solution is to create two folders: one for person1 and one for person2. Then when one of them reads and acts on an email, they can move it from the Inbox to their own folder. That way you still have the emails, but you know who worked on each one.

  • I mistakenly registered my wife's and my iPhone under the same account on the same computer, albeit with different passwords. How do I separate these phones?

    This mistake has confused the account somehow and actions done on one phone often have an effect on the other. I took these phones back to the dealer where they were purchased a few months ago, and they were able to correct some of the issues, but we still have problems. The latest is that my wife password would not work on her Apple ID account so she changed it successfully, but a few days later when I tried to update an app on my phone, and in trying to sign in to iTunes, it showed her name instead of mine, and of course, would not accept my password.
    When we first bought these phones about a year ago, I registered them both inder the name "R & P's iPhone" and tried to assign different passwords for the 2 phones, but as I recall, this was not successful. We let it go at that, inasmuch as we had not explored the phone's features much beyond making simple phone calls. But as time went on, and we began installing apps and using other features, this conflict has showed up more and more often. Now I am told by the dealer that one cannot register 2 phones on the same computer, which sounds odd to me, but whatever, we are prepared to start over & register the phones on different computers, under different names.
    I have an iTunes account, but is this where you make these changes? All I see on iTunes is related to music & movies.
    Thanks kindly for any advice.
    R & P

    I access a personal iPhone and iPad, and a business iPhone with the same Apple ID.
    The iPhone's passcode lock feature is completely separate from another iPhone or iOS device.
    All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. If some apps were downloaded with one Apple ID and then a new Apple ID is created, in order to download an app update that was installed with the original Apple ID requires using that Apple ID and password.

  • Can two users share the same mac desktop with two different iTunes accounts

    I have a mac desktop, my husband and I share the mailbox for our emails but he has his itunes account on the computer. I have mine on an old mac laptop wHich is not working well any longer. Can I create a second Itunes on the desktop so we could both use the same computer yet keep our music separate

    You can.
    Your home account can have its own hard drive.
    iTunes Media Library can be shared. Or not.
    Even have your own boot drive if needed and you have different applications and configuration.
    The Mac Pro and OS X are designed for multiple users. Not being limited to just one (or two, now that SSDs have found their way into iMac and laptops) has allowed more people to off load their media and data from the boot drive, which is always good.

  • Several layered effects of the same kind but with different adjustments for the same layer

    Hi,
    I wonder if it there is an easy way to have several different instances of e.g. glow or bevel and emboss on the same layer.
    I know I can achieve this by using smart objects or a duplicate layer with zero blending.
    I just wondered if there is a way to do this directly in the layer effects.

    Hi emil emil,
    thx for your answer!
    I wasn't even refering to different objects on the same layer, btw. it would be enough if I was able to layer e.g. different bevel and emboss on top of each other (With different colors, softness  and size.)  But I guess the answer remains the same.

  • I have an older ipod with a large itunes library and a new ipa 2. the both have the same email but different passwords.Can i sink th old ipod's library ith the new ipad's library?

    I have an older ipod with a large itunes library. I have a new ipad2. Both have the same email address but different passwords. Can I merge both itunes libraries?

    Not sure if this helps:-
    The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered  owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work.  Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple  Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them.  The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

  • Can we both use the same email account on our iPhones?

    My  husband and I each have iPhone 4s (1-4s, 1-4), but we use the same email account.  Can we each have the same email account on our iPhones?  If yes, please provide details.

    Yes, just set the same account up on both devices. Make sure it is setup as IMAP (not POP3) so that the first person to check the email account each time doesn't download all the email from the server.
    As we don't know who your email provider is, we can't provide any specific details on the setup.

    I do not have the same email address that I did when I started icloud, I do not remember my password and I lost all my contacts with this newest upgrade, it wants e to sign into icloud, but I cant, what can I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.

  • Can two Iphones have the same account/email address?

    Can two iphones have the same account/email address? I bought two phones-one for my wife and the other for myself. They are both under the same account /itunes account /email address-Would this cause a conflict with the two phones?

    No, as long as you want to share the same account for iCloud's services like Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, iCloud, Documents etc.
    I personally would create two accounts so that everyone could have and use  heir own mail account, address book, create meetings, reminders etc. without reading and deleting stuff of the other person.
