I used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are together. How do I undo this? Do i create him a different icloud account?
Yes, start with deleting your account on his device:
(Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)
In the next step, create a new account on his device:
(Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)

Me and my daughter had been using the same apple id, she was triyng to change it, now all of my iphone contact are gone, what can i do ti get it back , this is very important to me.
Your contacts are helpd on the server, so if you sign out from your iCloud account and sign into another one they will disappear. If you sign back into the original account they will reappear.

I just got an iPod touch. Now I cannot access my music on my Nano when it is connected to my computer (all the titles are in gray). How do I fix this?
That sounds like you've engaged one of the automatic syncing options for your nano.
Plug the nano in, and go into the Device screen for the nano in itunes. Is "manually manage ..." unchecked? If so, check the box for it, and click okay. Disconnect and reconnect the nano. Is the content on the nano able to be selected in your iTunes now? -

can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.
Welcome to the Apple community Pammy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users. -

We have several apple products in the family. I would like to set up different icloud accounts for each memeber. I lately noticed having activated different devices with same icloud account that each device can access everyones messages by going in their settings and clicking which number or email they want to use to see messages. Let me make sure I am understood, on my sons ipod in his messages settings he can switch to my cell number and see all my messages. Re setting the devices isn't my great issue but can i set up each kids user account on my mac to their individual icloud accounts?
Thanks!Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud). -
Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

I deleted all downloaded songs from my iPhone but under
Settings/About it still shows songs on my phone.
How do I fix this? I need to use that storage space for other things.First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I used the same apple id on two iphones
used the same apple id on two iphones, and one of them i gave away. I signed out and deleted all the data that is connected to me. But the person who has my iphone, can see all imessages i get or send. And my apple id always appears on that phone... And of course when that person sends messages, it shows that it was sent from my email or phone. So is there a solution?
He has to un-sing of iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime and of course you have to change your Apple ID password!

HT2731 Does using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPod touch use my phones data plan?
Does using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPod touch use my phones data plan?
If you are using the internet then it's eating away at your data plan, irrespective of your Apple ID.
Here's an article about data plans:

I have the iPhone 5 and I keep getting a no sim card message. I have had my phone for over a year now so I know I have a sim card. How can I fix this because it doesn't let me get calls now.
Try resetting the phone. Hold the home and power lock button until the Apple logo appears.If that does not work, turn the phone off and take the SIM out and then put it back in.
If that still does not work, you may have a defective SIM, in which case you will need a new one from your carrier. -

How do I keep one Apple ID account for the family, yet have different iCloud accounts for calendar, email, etc.??
First decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the others, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Once all your devices have their on iCloud accounts, to un-merge the data you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your son's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
You should also use separate Apple IDs for services such as iMessage and FaceTime. Otherwise, you're likely to end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls. If you need to change these, for iMessage go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID (such as the one just created for iCloud). For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
