  • 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 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 i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID?

    Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID? SO i could iMessage if out from my iPod to my iPad at home to be viewed by a family member?

    Look into using Apple Configurator.  It's the easiest way to "reimage" and Manage iPads that I know of right now.

    Also, look into using the Educational Volume Purchase Program, if you have not already done so.

  • HT204053 Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices?

    Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices? I just set up my IPhone 4S (first time user) using the same Apple ID as my daughters and now we receive each others texts, do I need to set up my own Apple ID account?

    Yes, you can.  In fact it's recommended that you use different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  You can still share the same ID for iTunes without any issues.
    You are getting each other's text messages because you're using the same ID for iMessage.  To fix this, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with a different ID.  To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • HT204053 Can two people share the icloud if they have a different Apple ID

    Can two people combine their icloud information if they have different Apple IDs?  Or is a common ID necessary?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You need the same Apple ID to have the same information (you can't mix it if you don't want to mess everything in one Apple ID)

  • Can multiple devices share the same library?

    I was under the impression they could not. I had originally had iTunes installed with my 5th generation iPod. Several months back my wife got an iPhone 4. We were under the impression we had to set up a library exclusive to her device, so we did. I had to open my library when I wanted to sync to my iPod, she had to open hers to sync to her iPhone. Now I just got an iPhone 4, when I plugged it into my PC, it created a new device within the library I had set up for my iPod. I don't plan on using my iPod anymore, but I get the impression I could use both devices with the same library. Could I do the same with the 2 iPhones?
    Where I get confused is when it comes to sharing music, and the fact that we have 3 directories now (the original iTunes directory, and two iPhone directories). Currently despite having 2 libraries, all the music is stored in the original iTunes directory. When we download music in iTunes, it has been stored to the that same directory and simply added to whatever library has been open. Then we can simply add it to the other library as we please. But what happens when we download Apps and music directly to our phones...I presume when synched to the PC, they'd get stored in the directory specific to that device, and cannot be shared?
    Bottom line is I'd like all music to be available to either iPhone, but would also like to ensure it is all stored in the same directory.

    What is really strange to me is the Apple licensing. I spoke with one developer about this once and here is what he told me:
    You can authorize up to 5 computers with your iTunes store ID. Any of those 5 computers can sync an app onto any of the devices that they manage syncing for, and it is perfectly legit with Apple. Due to the Apple developer agreements, he can not do anything to prevent that in his code.
    My wife and I each have iPhone and iPod Touch devices. We each have our own iTunes store ID's (because we didn't know better at the time) so we authenticate both computers to both accounts and we can share our music & app purchases "freely" between our 4 devices. We each could authorize up to 3 more PC's with our accounts and allow more people to share our purchases (if we trust them not to purchase things using our accounts) but we don't feel that is the correct way to treat the app developers, so we don't do that. In fact, there at least one app we have liked so much, we both spent the $7.99 to purchase even though we didn't need to.

  • 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.

  • Can two ipads share the same icloud account

    hello. My wife and i recently added a second ipad to our household (his and hers). We would like to share the same icloud account fior photo streaming and music and such, but want to have our seperate emails, contacts and calendars on each ipad. Is this possible without having to create seperate icloud accounts?

    Don't understand what you are trying to do.
    You said 2 iPads using the same iCloud acoount, are you try to switch to another iCloud account?
    Then you need to delete the one you have on iPad. Deleting iPad iCloud account do not delete the content in iCloud. You will be asked.

  • 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.

  • How can two users share the same iTunes library in 10.7

    I am running Lion 10.7 and there are two users on the iMac.
    I would like full read/write access to our share music from either user account.
    Currently I have the iTunes Media folder in users/shared and on my account it looks like a regular iTunes and in my preferences I have ticked the 'share' box, but on my wifes account she can see the shared library but the only view available is a simple list.

    Try putting it on a removable drive, like a flash drive.
