While I have a few ideas, I think you'd have better luck troubleshooting this in the iCloud forum.

HT204053 Can I use my Apple ID that I have for my iPod, for my new iPad? And how?

HELP. Can I use my Apple ID that i have for my iPod, for my new iPad? If so, how?

You can use the same account - go in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if you are on iOS 6) and sign into your existing account (if you created a new account and are logged in with it then tap on that id and log out of it first). You can then use your old account in the same way as you use it on your iPod.

My husband and I both have iphones and share the same apple id. Everything was working fine until I synced his phone which lost all his contacts and pictures and gave him my info. I then used verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back

My husband and I both have iphones and everything was ok until I synced his phone and lost all his contacts and pixs. I downloaded verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back but now his contacts keep overwriting mine. I can sync my phone and get my contacts back but within a few hours, his show up again. We use the same apple id for purchases. What can I do?

Are you sharing the same iCloud account (in Settings>iCloud)? And do you both have Contacts turned to On in Settings>iCloud?

HT5622 I just updated my iphone and now it asks for a passcode. Can I use the phone without a passcode? if not, how do I change the one I entered today?

I just updated my iphone. can I use it without the passcode? if not, how can I change the code?

Nobody here can unlock it.
Only the person whose iCloud account it asks the password for can do it. Contact them.

Why do the apps my daughters download to their Touch's download to my iPhone when I sync my phone? We all separate Apple ID's.

Why do the apps my Daughters download to their iPod Touchs Sync to my iPhone when I plug it into to Sync with iTunes?

You can but you're not going to like it (takes a bit of work). I'll give you two options: one is a definite fix and one is a sort of fix...
1. If you really want to solve this issue and be organised then you should create different computer user accounts for all the constituents in your household. Once that's done move all of their music, apps, books, videos out of yours and into their's (by using an external hard drive or USB drive).
2. This is a sort of fix. If it's only apps you are concerned about, there is a option to not automatically sync newly purchased apps to your phone. Plug your phone into the computer and go to the phone preference's Apps tab. There is a option to auto sync apps, just make sure that's not checked.

I've lost my Contacts, Messages, Photos etc after having IOS 4.3.2 installed at the Apple Store. I cannot locate previous back-up history, only the back-up after I synced the phone after it had been updated. How do I recover my previous info please?

You should have restored the backup that was on your computer before syncing. Now it is too late. However, if you followed the instructions in the manual and set up an app on your computer to sync contacts and calendar to they will still reside in those apps. Photos in the camera roll are lost, however, if you had followed the instructions in the manual to copy photos from the camera roll to your computer regularly you can restore them to the photo app from the copy on your computer. Text messages are gone for good. Music and Apps should be in the music library on your computer.

My i phone 4S was stolen today. How do I recover my photos from i cloud?

I need help retrieving my photos from my phone. My phone was stolen today. Can someone help me?

Restoring your iCloud backup to another iPhone would recover photos that were in the camera roll when it was last backed up. If you are able to set up iCloud on your computer, enabling photo stream would recover photo stream photos from the last 30 days. This article explains how to set up iCloud on your computer: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.

Did you try to change the location in Settings/iTunes & AppStore/AppleID -> view Apple ID, log in ->Country/Region -> India?

I am using my Apple ID on multiple devices for other people. How can I make icloud work only for my devices?

I am using my Apple ID on multiple devices for other people in my family and now I am getting a new iphone and want to take only the information on my old iphone to the new one without the information on the other devices using the same account. Is there a way to do that?
Also, for the future can I use multiple addresses and apple IDs for the same credit card information?
Thanks in advance,
Marian

Ok, so you want to remove data (contacts, bookmarks, calendar etc) from other users from your iCloud/Apple ID?
If you want to use your ID for your family because it is the account everybody uses to buy stuff then you only need to ensure that your apple ID is set up in the store (settings-store) and then the users of each device and put their own apple ID in icloud/message/facetime/etc.
To set up your device, in my opinion, it is best to back up to itunes, and then plug your new device into itunes and "set up as ..." and select the backup from your device. This will import all your data/settings and your new device will be set up just like your old one.
I am not certain about using the same payment method for more than one account.

How to set up myself as family share organizer with my own Apple id when someone else has gotten a new phone and used my Apple ID on it and set up family share for themselves?

its my Apple ID and it's basically been hijacked on a device I dont own and someone else has been set up as family share organizer in my own Apple ID and I can't seem to do anything about it.

You really need to get the apple id straightened out before you start, or you will pay the price forever!   You have a couple of options. I assume your dad is cooperating with this project. I think you are probably right about using his apple account.
Make sure you have established the second e mail address and that to works.
Log onto apple.com, and in the upper right, log into the account. Once in the accout, click on the area where you can change you data, and add the second email address.    Apple wil verify the adress by send it an e mail, and won't do anything further until you respond to an e mail sent to that address, so watch for it.
After the address is verified, on your accout page, make that address your primary address contact from apple. That way if apple sends confirmations for apps and things, they will go to the new address, and your mom won't see them. Then set the pad up using the same aple Id as your dad. Remember, you have not changed the apple id or the password, you have only changed the e mail address for contact.   ( you can change it back after the surprise)
The other suggestion... I have given a coule of pads to folks, and one of the real fun parts for them and for you is o
Ending the box, and doing the set up. It is a great way for them to learn enough to use it. Press the buttons etc. pick their own apps. You can gift her all the apps you want, and she can learn how to download them herself.
I gave a pad to mom in law, and did pretty much what you are planning, and at the end of the day, having it all set when she openied it made it harder for her to learn, rather than easier.
But you are doing a god thing, and I am sure she will enjoy the pad.

I have been using my apple tv to access netflix for several months. It suddenly stopped working. When I try to go to netflix from the menu, it says "accessing netflix" but never does. I can access you tube just fine, but just can't get to netflix.

I can access you tube just fine, but just can't get to netflix. Any ideas. I have unplugged everything and waited but nothing helped.

Update software. If that doesn't work try resetting. Mine started working after the update.

I have been taking photos for years and have thousands. When I use Apple TV screen saver, it seems only to grab a handfull and repeats them. Is there a configuration setting that will allow me to have the screen saver grab more than just a few? Thanks.

The device has an 8GB drive for caching streamed meida, a small portion of that is used to temporarily store photos for the screensaver. It may vary depending on resolution etc but it seems to be around 100.

TS4062 can't update apps cos my daughter's Apple ID password is required: even though I'm signed in via my Apple ID in settings (she uses my Mac for her itunes and didn't sign out, i synced my phone and it's been like this ever since) GRRRRR!

I have an old aol email that I want to use as my iCloud email but MyAppleID won't accept it because it is already in use by Apple. May have been for my ibook but not sure.

Go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign into manage your apple id with any apple ids you have access to and see if you're account is either an alternate email address or a rescue address. If it is, remove it. Have family members or friends check theirs, if they have apple ids, just in case.
If that fails...
Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
You'll need to speak to someone in account security. They'll have to go through a verification process with you, in order to reveal information. If you fail that process, they will be able to tell you nothing.
