I have two cell phone, different numbers.  Each has their own apple id.  How can i merge them so apps on one show on the other but keep their emails addresses separate on their own phone?

Have two cell phones, different numbers.  Each has their own apple id.  How can I merge them so apps purchased on one phone show on the other.  But.as each has their own email address, I want to keep these email addresses separate on their own phone?  Thanks.

We do this in my family now.  We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores).  Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud.  That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup.  That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice.  You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response.  What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures.  Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures.  1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

  • HT204053 I have two iphones with different numbers that I use my apple ID for purchases, etc.  How do I get my second iphone setup on icloud?  I would like to use the features of icloud for both of my iphones.  Thank you

    I have two iphones with different phone numbers that I use.  I have one of them set up on icloud now, but do not know how to set up my second device on icloud.  Both of my iphones use my same Apple ID for purchases, etc.  Is there a simple way to add a device to my icloud account?  Thank you in advance for any help someone may be able to give me.

    To move one of the phones to a different iCloud account (if that's what you want to do), go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data to Off.  When prompted, choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  After everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  This will delete the account from the phone but not from iCloud so the other phone will not be effected.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn iCloud syncing in Settings>iCloud back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new iCloud account.
    You will then have to go to icloud.com and sign into each iCloud account separately and delete any unwanted data that you don't want on the phone syncing with each account.

  • HT1491 I have two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one?

    I ahve two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one account?

    Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

  • Okay so i recorded a song but each part comes out as like take 1, i have 10 takes. how can i put them all together as one take, to make one song all in one take not small pieces of a song.

    okay so i recorded a song but each part comes out as like take 1, i have 10 takes. how can i put them all together as one take, to make one song all in one take not small pieces of a song. like i hit record and sang the entire song but when i hit play it was in pieces not just one song like it was in ten takes. is there any way i can blend it all into one take, to make one clear song?

    You're not very clear in stating your problem. Maybe it's terminology: "takes" in recording lingo (and in GB lingo) are different version of exactly the same part in a song, so you only want one of them in the end. Please tell us exactly what you did and what it is that you don't like.

  • HT4914 If my phone's memory is full, mostly due to music, how can I make it to where my IPad holds all the music and remove all of it from my phone without losing any of it??

    If my phone's memory is full, mostly due to music, how can I make it to where my IPad holds all the music and remove all of it from my phone without losing any of it? I recently got an iPad so I now use that as my main source as opposed to my Dell. Yes, I have a Dell that failed me. Miserably.

    Sync your music from your computer to your iPad.  Then delete the music from your iPhone.

  • I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs.  Can I merge them into one account under one ID?

    I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs.  Can I merge them into one account under one ID?  I have purchased music and video in both.

    No, it is not possible to merge accounts.  Choose one as the primary account and keep a local backup of all purchases so you don't get into the mess where you encounter a 90 day freeze on re-downloading past purchases from multiple accounts.

  • HT4847 I have two iCloud accounts, one with 10GB and one with 20GB...how can I merge them into the 20GB plan?

    I have two iCloud plans.  One with 10GB that backs up my 1Phone and iPad.  I also have a 20GB plan for my iMAC and MAC BookPro.  How can I merge them so that I only have one plan and one iCloud to manage?    My first instinct is to delete the one on my iPhone/iPad and add the iMac plan, but I don't want to do it without an expert opinion.

    No, accounts cannot be merged.  Am I an expert?  I only know what I've read here numerous times regarding merging of plans - the answer is always emphatically NO.  Since this is a user-to-user forum (Apple doesn't participate here), you'll have to do some searching about on this topic and either accept or reject the "common" advice.

  • HT2905 I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

    I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

    In iTunes(on a Mac or PC) just tap on 'Albums' rather than 'Artists' and you'll see them all together.
    You may find that there are songs mislabelled. In which case right tap on the Album or Artist and tap 'Get Info', then change to the correct name and the songs will join the rest of the songs for that Artist or Album.
    Then resync with your iPhone and all will be well.

  • HT203167 Cloud has appeared on my laptop although I am not aware of having downloaded it; as a result only the items I have purchased appear in my library and I cannot access the hundreds of songs I have imported from my own CDs. How can I find them?

    you can't.
    ... so that I can use it on multiple devices?
    a single iTunes can be authorized for up to five iTunes store accounts (Apple IDs). a library thusly set up will sync content purchased with any of the five Apple IDs to any device.

    I have two iTunes Store accounts. How can I merge them?

    The ability to merge accounts has been raised a number of times, and I would have thought that it would be something that Apple has looked at (or maybe still is) - if/when it will be possible I don't know.
    It's also not possible to delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from it and stop using it. But any content that you bought/downloaded with it will remain tied to it, so only that account will be able to authorise that content on a new computer, redownload it and download updates to its app (so will need to remember the id and password)

  • I'm downloading a movie to each of my kids new ipads.  it says that it's downloading, but the completion % has shown the same % since it began 2 hours ago.  is this normal? one shows 94%, the other 24%.  how do I know if it's progressing?

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • Is there a way that you can copy and paste blade effects from one clip to the other so that the cuts are an exact duplicate of each other?

    Is there a way that you can copy and paste blade effects from one clip to the other so that the cuts are an exact duplicate of each other?

    The same cuts that I have in this clip that i performed with the blade tool, I want to duplicate, copye, paste and apply to another clip. I want the cuts to mimic and be an exact same. I wish i could highlight the clip, click copy and then highlight the other clip and then click paste and the cuts apply.

    I have 2 iphones and 1 ipad on one Apple ID how can I seperate them into different apple ids

    Sign out of the Apple ID on the device in question, making sure to disable the Find My iDevice feature.
    Sign in with the new Apple ID.
    If the intent is to sell the device, simply restore as new after disabling the Find My iDevice and signing out.
