Can you use find my iPhone with iPad and iPhone and the same icloud account for both?

I have an iPhone and iPad. I use find my iPhone for both. If I use the same icloud account for both, how do I separate them on the map, or if I lose one and want to remote wipe the lost one but not the one in my possession?

It will list each device separately, I even have two macs along with my ipad listed

  • I have an ipad&iPhone but used the same iCloud account for both during setup.i now have ran out of iCloud storage!

    I have an ipad&iPhone but used the same iCloud account for both during setup.i now have ran out of iCloud storage! If I delete the account from iPhone will I lose the apps from my ipad?
    And will new account that i set up on iPhone give me 5gb storage? I assume its not as easy it sounds, it never is!
    It is the camera roll on both devices that are using the storage up, and I know I can transfer the photos to a hard copy, which I will but if I can get 5gb from two separate iCloud accounts then that's the route I will take!
    Many thanks in advance for your help.
    Ps I had originally synced the iPad and iPhone but as far as this apple illiterate operator is aware I managed to stop them syncing a few months at lol.thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume that the same account is required on both devices (it would be rather awkward otherwise) and that most of your space is consumed by back up.
    You will need to buy more storage or back up to iTunes instead of iCloud.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • How can i get a list with all devices that have the same icloud account for iMessage, FaceTime, Reminders, etc...

    Hi, I want to know which devices (iMac, MacBook, iPod, iPhone, iPad & PC) are using my iCloud account, specifically because of iMessage going to devices that im not aware of.
    A list of those devices would be great.
    I do have a list of the ones with find my i activated, but i want the full list. Or at least the ones being used by FaceTime or iMessage!
    Thank you in advance!

    I don't think there's a single place that will give you a list but you can check your devices to create one.  On your iOS devices go to Settings>Messages>Receive At and check the Apple ID at the top.  You can check FaceTime at Settings>FaceTime.  You can check iCloud at Settings>iCloud>Account.  On your Mac go to System Preferences>iCloud> click on Account Details.  On your PC go to Start>Control Panel>Network and Internet>iCloud (you Apple ID is listed on the left).

  • I have a Verizon and At&t Iphone 4 can I use the same Itunes account for both phones?

    I have a Verizon Iphone 4 though my job.  I also have a At&t Iphone 4 for my personal phone.  Can I use the same Itunes account for both phone or will I need a separate account for Verizon Iphone?

    I dont live in US, live in Japan.. but I do have 2 iPhones, one 3GS and one 4. I use same iTunes Account on both.
    You might have a little "problem" if your payment were by Credit Card, everytime you try to buy something (I mean, try to download something on your iphone, not from your computer) , your going to need to verify your payment... but if u use iTunes Gift Card, you wont have any problem with that

  • If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    No, it only mirrors changes to synced data.  This includes mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari bookmarks, notes, iWork documents and data, and photo stream photos (assuming you choose to sync all this data).  Changes to iTunes data such as music, apps, podcasts, etc., are not synced using iCloud.  In your example, if you delete an app from one device it will remain on the other until deleted there too.

  • HT5621 Me and my daughter are using the same Apple id and we share the same iCloud account. I want to change her Apple id so that she will have her own icliid account and I will have mine. how do I do it?

    Me and my daughter are using the same Apple id and we share the same iCloud account. I want to change her Apple id so that she will have her own icloud account and I will have mine.
    1. how do I do it?
    2. how do I  transfer her stuff which is in my icloud storage to her new icloud account once this one is created?
    thanks,
    Ari

    To migrate her device to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to her amera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If she is syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of the notes and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once you are on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com from a computer and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • How can my wife and I both use the same iCloud account for our respective iPhones so we can share information and music?

  • Can I use the same user accounts for both Lion & SL?

    I have one Mac that I can upgrade to Lion but it is the one that the entire family uses every day (I only can use it (and administer it) on weekends), so I have to make sure that there are no problems and no issues so my plan is to:
    Move all of the users accounts to a different drive.
    Configure 10.6.8 (SL) to use the user accounts on the different drive.
    Back up SL to a bootable drive.
    Repartition the Mac for a SL & Lion partition.
    Reconstitute SL on both partitions.
    Upgrade one SL partition to Lion.
    I should now have a partition for SL and Lion that both use the same users accounts so when I (and then my family) are comfortable with Lion, the switch will be transparent.
    Any problems that I am unaware of (and how to remediate it)?
    TIA.

    There are a few discussions here on the topic that I was planning to employ:
    Moving Home folder to different HDD From Mac OSX Snow Leopard via Terminal?
    Moving some Users to different volume
    How do you move a user account to a different drive?
    Another way of doing it is to move the directory, and then alter the user's home directory using the NetInfo utility (Tiger) or Directory Utility (Leopard). In both, you can change the user's home directory from the command line in Terminal.app like so:
    $ sudo dscl . -create /Users/user NFSHomeDirectory /Volumes/volname+/+user
    In the SL System Preferences -> Accounts one can select a user's account, right click and choose Advance Options presents the screen below. This is how I intend to point each OS to the same user account on an external HDD.
    Does that answer your question?
    TIA.

  • Can we have the same iCloud account for 2 Macs, 2 iPhones and an iPad?

    My partner and I each have an iMac and an iPhone, and we have an iPad which we both use. It suits us to have a single iCloud account because we share all calendars and contacts.
    However, we're about to upgrade our iPhones and I've read that if both the old and the new device has iOS 5 or later, the data transfer should be done via iCloud. Please can anyone tell me if 2 iPhones can be backed up to iCloud (currently they're backed up to the iMacs) without causing difficulty? Each phone has a different name attached to it, so I guess it may be OK if they're done one at a time. Or maybe it's OK to do the data transfer via iTunes, even though the iOS is 6.1.6...?
    With thanks.

    Hello Gillylal Fordham-Lear,
    This can be done via iTunes or iCloud, as detailed in the article linked below.

  • Can you setup handoff to work with two mac computers on the same network?

    I am attempting to setup handoff to work with two computers on the same network. I cannot seem to get it to work. Should I be able to?

    I'm not sure but I haven't seen anything on the Apple site that indicates that it would not work. The following troubleshooting documents may help: Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite - Apple Support
    Note in particular the Mac models supported. The other thing that occurs to me is that in addition to being on the same network they would have to be within Bluetooth range of each other.

  • Can you use a bluetooth headset with iPad 2? I.e. Plantronics Discovery 975.

    I want to use Bria (softphone) as my "phone" on the iPad 2 and be able to answer calls from the bluetooth deivce. Ideally, I would want Bria to run in the background, my ipad on my desk or backpack and be able to answer calls.  Anyone have experience with this?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    No. You can use a wireless keyboard. A mouse would be pointless because there is no cursor.

  • Can I use the same iCloud account on more than one PC?

    I'm new to iCloud. I use Apple devices but a PC both at home and work. I'd like to have the same iCloud account on both PCs, but not sure if I can do this. Can anybody clarify please?
    Thank you.

    Yes, you can use the same iCloud account on more than one device. Thats actually the basic idea of iCloud, syncing and exchanging data of different devices without a cable. E.g. your address book on the iPhone is modified and you computer gets the changes via iCloud…
    enjoy
