Can two iPhones share the same apple id?

I have a white iPhone 4 and i just bought a new black iPhone 4. Can I activiate the new black iPhone 4 and use the same apple id on both of them? Will all the music be shared? Can I have access to the account on both phones?

No. The only information that may be transferred between the two is music, apps, or books if automatic downloads are turned on within Settings>iTunes and App Stores. However if you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on both devices they will share whatever information you share with iCloud. For instance if you have different contacts on both phones and use the same iCloud account with both of them they will then show a combination of the two contact libraries on both phones. So if you add a contact to one iPhone it will add the same contact to the other. The same goes with deleting contacts as well. Hope this helps.

  • Can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  Yes, there is more to the story.

    I have an iMac, and iPhone.  I've had my Apple ID for a few years. 
    My wife got an iPhone 4S a few months back and the salesperson at Verizon set her Apple ID the same as mine, but gave her a different password.  I don't know if this was ok, but that is what happened.
    So, yesterday, we both upgraded to IOS6 and I had no problem logging in to my iPhone with my Apple ID.  When my wife went to log in, she was told that she was entering the wrong password. We entered the password over and over again and still was wrong.
    The question is... can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  (I have the feeling her iPhone is thinking that since it's my Apple ID, it wants my password.)
    If not, can I still set up a new Apple ID for her even through she's had the iPhone for a few months?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    You shold follow your feelings, its probably right most of the time.
    You can have 5 different devices hucked upp to one Apple ID. What I have done is that my wife and I have one Apple ID, when I bye a new app on my phone, She gets it to. Thats nice.
    You can allways set upp a new Apple ID for your wife.

  • Can two iPhones share the same phone number?

    I have an iPhone 4s and a 6, and would like to switch between them, based on the activity I'm doing.

    No, however, you could use call forwarding to redirect the calls if your carrier offers that feature. Not that this will NOT forward SMS/MMS messages.

  • I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

    I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out...
    Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

  • 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.

  • HT3529 will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

    will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

    It will. If the two phones are used by two different people, however, you will need to implement some careful management of your iMessage settings to ensure that you don't each receive each-other's messages. It is a much safer option to use different Apple IDs for each individual.
    On iOS devices, you are able to use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and Facetime, iCloud, and the iTunes and App Stores.

  • HT5622 We have two iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself

    My son and I both have iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself from finding out what he is up to during Freshers week!

    You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.

  • Can 2 different iphones share the same apple ID?

    Can my husband who just got a I phone use my apple ID?  He wants to get our Itunes from the computer on his phone.

    You can share iTunes content using the same Apple ID, but for everything else...iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime...your husband needs his own Apple ID. If you don't set things up that way, you'll have a mess on your hands. You can create an Apple ID here:

    Must be a verified email address.

  • Can two people share the same library?

    I installed a new mac mini which we're planning on using as a media hub and as a machine to sync my iphone from.  I want to have a "Server" login on it just for itunes to run the backend for Apple TV.  However, I'd also like my itunes library on my "Personal" login.  Can I share the same library betwixt the two (if put into the Shared folder?) or do I have to set it up in my Personal and then share it to the Server login?  If I do that, don't I have to login to both and run itunes before it'll work?  I'd like to avoid anything like that because I travel often and want something my family can leave on and reboot easily while I'm away, without giving my kids access to my Personal login.

  • Separate "iMessage accounts" on two iPhones with the same Apple ID

    I have two iPhone 4 handsets. One is for work and one is my private number. Currently I am using the same Apple ID on both phones, as I want to use the apps I've purchased on both devices and get my contacts from iCloud.
    As I usually bring both handsets with me, it is annoying to receive the same iMessage to both phones. Is there anyway to create two separate "iMessage accounts" such that I can use iMessage on both phones, but messages sent to my work phone will only be received on my work phone, and similarly, the iMessages sent to my private phone will only be received on my private phone?

    Sure, just create another Apple ID & use that for iMessage:

  • Can multiple iPhones share the same iTunes account?

    My daughter received her first iPhone.  She activated it today using my iTunes account and all of my contacts were overwritten with her contacts. How can we fix this? My other daughter received hers today as well but she hasn't activated it yet. What can we do to prevent this from happening? Also, can multiple iPhones share one iTunes account?
    Thanks
