I have a 5s with an apple account and wife has a iPad air with its own cell number. Does the iPad need it's own apple account to use it's own phone number so her FaceTime calls are not sent to my phone. We want to be able to link each device to iCloud and share music, photos, ect. iPad iMessage and FaceTime have my cell number activated.

How do you take off reseiving messages on multiple devices using the same apple account

How do you take off reseiving messages on multiple devices using the same apple account?

Go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive on all but one device and add a unique email address on each device and delete the commone Apple ID email device
If there is also an iPhone with iOS 6 associated with the Apple ID, uncheck the phone number on all but the phone.

I have a iphone4 and a ipad2 and i use 2 laptops to sync them individually, but i used the same apple account. Now I have lost one laptop.

Hey everyone.
I have an iphone4 and an ipad2. I used to sync my phone with one computer and the ipad with another. but i used the same apple account.
Now the problem is that i lost the computer to which i was syncing the iphone. Is there a way that i can start to sync the iphone with the computer that i use for my ipad and not loose any data.
Please help!

No. Syncing with a different computer/library will wipe the content from the device and replace it with content from the new library.
All of the media should be in the iTunes library already, at least what was purchased from iTunes.

Hi sandexpress,
As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
GB

Or remove you from his, it's moot because You and He are the same account, either get him his own (they are free) or live with this cozy but privacy compromised method.

Can you use the same Apple Id on different devices.

Can I use the same Apple ID on two different iPads? My kids just got school issued iPads and they need to have an Apple ID. They have iPhones with there own Apple ID's. We use one Apple ID for purchases for our family. Can they use there current Apple ID with the iPads without the purchase Apple Id being associated. Will they be able to load music and apps that were purchased with the family Apple Id?

I am just a little confused about the way that you asked thes questions. But here is my take.
1. Yes - You can use two Apple ID's on an iPad.
2. You can use the same Apple ID on up to 10 total devices - but there is a five computer limit in that total of 10 devices.
3. If you use one ID for some things and then use the family ID to download past purchases for free - you will lock themselves out of the other ID for 90 days.
4. When you download a past purchase on an iDevice using a different ID - you associate that device with that ID and you are locked into that ID only for 90 days.

HT4436 can I have a second icloud account for my spouse and use the same apple account

I was trying to find out if it is possible to set up a second icloud email account for my wife and both use the same apple ID so we can share bought apps without her receiving all of my calander notices, email alerts etc?

Yes, you can delete your account from settings > iCloud. Your data will be stored in your personal account (simply choose to delete all information from your iPad when prompted). Then make a new one (again, settings > iCloud) making an account for your class. When you are done in the classroom, delete the iCloud account again and login with your personal account When prompted, always delete the information.
Kind regards,

My husband and I use the same Itunes account/ID. Does that mean we cannot both use FaceTime?

You will want to do this on both devices

I have iPad, my wife's iPone 4 and my new iPhone 4s all on iOS 5 and using the same Apple account. That is convenient in many ways except I can't use iMessage from my iPad and iPhone to my wife's iPhome. Any solution?

When iMessage is enabled on all 3 devices, they just seem to mirror all iMessage conversations on all of them. Can I configure iMessage for my wife's iPhone such that it becomes a separate entity with that respect while staying on the same Appte account with other our devices?

Actually, there is a solution, and it sounds to go against what you want until you realize how well it works.
Seperate Apple IDs is the solution, but you can granularly sign into different things with different IDs. Now, I'm in the exact same situation as you and saw the exact same problem. Here was our solution:
1) Create new Apple IDs for everyone that didn't already have one. This meant my wife and daughter needed new IDs.
2) Go into Settings -> Message and select "Receive At..."
3) Change the Apple ID in iMessage on a per-device basis to the new ID for who ever owns that device. For example, the new ID for my wife went on her phone, same with my daughter.
Apple IDs are free, and you don't have to change the ID on every part of your phone. For example, we still have the generic family ID on iCloud and the store, but we have our own unique ones signed in on iMessage and Game Center. From what I can tell, this is the best of both worlds.

Should my wife and I use the same Apple account or separate accounts?

Should my wife and I use the same account or our own accounts?
We each have our own iPhones and we share one iPad.
We have one computer where we use iTunes (our main desktop at home).
On iTunes on our computer, sometimes we are logged into my wife's iTunes account and sometimes we are logged into mine.
My iPhone was set up with my account and my wife’s was set up with her account.
My wife's iPad is set up with her account (but it seems like it is pretty easy to log out and then log in with my account if I want, I think).
Since we log into our respective accounts on iTunes and have our own accounts for our iOS devices, we purchase music, games, etc. on both accounts.
If we continue with our current method of different accounts, I am worried that our music, games etc. will be separated so that we won't be able to access them all from each of our devices. For example, I'm thinking of setting up that Home Sharing thing where you can use your iOS device to stream off your computer's iTunes but I think it only streams off the iTunes account you are currently signed into.
Is this a good idea or should we just pick one of our accounts and use it exclusively?
If we just use one account, should our phones both be signed in / started up with that one account?
Thanks for any info.

2 iphones, 1 ipad, 1 PC with 1 apple account

I have 2 iPhone 4S's, one is personal, one purchased by work for me. Can I use the same iTunes account to sync both phones while keeping the contacts that are synced as separate lists for personal phone and work phone, but also allow same apps for both?

I'm hoping someone out there knows if I can use 1 apple ID and 1 iTunes account to sync 2 different iPhone 4S's - one for personal use, and one for work use. I would like to be able to sync with the same music and app's on both, but need to keep the contacts and calendars completely separate between the 2 phones since I don't want personal data on the work phone or work data on the personal phone. Can you help me figure this out?

Yes!
Luckily, if you be very careful and pay attention to what you have selected in itunes, you can separate these things
Basically, in iTunes, there are tabs at the top for Summary, info, apps, etc..
These tabs control PER DEVICE what syncs between itunes and the device.
Therefore, you can plug iPhone 4S #1 in, and select to sync contacts with address book, then do so. Then plug iPhone 4S #2 in, and not choose to sync with address book. iTunes will keep these settings separate. However, in that situation for music and apps, you would check to sync both on both, in order to get all music and apps on each.
The only thing to watch out for, each computer 'user' has only one set of address book and ical, meaning that if you want to sync both phones to the computer, but dont want to mix contacts, only one phone will be able to sync contacts and/or calendars. Basically, each category in the Info tab will only hold one device's information, so you CAN do contacts with iPhone 4S #1, and calendars with #2.

Can two or more users access the same Airdisk at the same time?

I have a USB hard drive attached to my AEBS as a shared drive, and I can access it from any of my four macs. The problem is I have to disconnect from it on one mac before the other macs can access it. If I don't, the second mac receives an error that it doesn't have permissions. Is that normal?

you really should use eclipse and maven to work with multiple developers. something like [1] will be helpful

If two people are using the same apple account how do they show different names on airdrop

I'm trying to set up to user names for air drop on one Apple ID. It works for Messages and FaceTime but I can't find a setting for airdrop. It only shows the user name of the person with the Apple ID email

Not sure if you can. Look at these links.

HT204053 how can I use the same apple ID in different stores, i.e. Germany and the US app store?

I have created an apple ID in Germany, but would like to get apps from the US App store, is this possible?

Not without being in the USA and supplying a payment method valid there.
The iTunes Store country can't be changed when there's any unspent credit.
