Multiple BlackBerry devices with one BIS account

Hi,
I'm planning to get a second BlackBerry and I want to use it together with my current one (not at the same time of course). My provider (O2) supports up to three devices for one plan (they'll send me copies of my SIM card for the other devices, so they all can be active at the same time), so that's no problem. However, I also want to have both devices connected to my BIS account, so my mails will be pushed to both devices at the same time, and I want to be able to use BBM on both devices at the same time. I'm afraid that when I connect my new BlackBerry to my account, the old device will be disconnected automatically.
Has anyone tried that before or does anyone know where to find information about this matter?
Best regards,
Jonas

Well when you said copies of the SIM card, are they just giving you extra ones, each with a different SIM number? Each SIM card has a unique number associated with it so it should work.
Actually now that I think about it if it's a copy of the SIM card with the same phone number then I don't think it will work. Like you said before if you switch devices the new one will be active. I think if it's a different SIM card with a different telephone number (like an additional line on the account if you're on a family plan) then it should work.

How to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with one iTunes account

We recently received iPad 2's for Christmas and was looking for some advice on how to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with One iTunes Account (Apple Id). I have created or attached other e-mail addresses to our apple id but do not know how to use them on the new devices. Our home MacBook Pro uses our main apple id for FaceTime. The iPads have been setup with the main apple id w/o being able to use FaceTime and iMessage.
Please Help...
I appreciate the help and support.

P and V-
If you are trying to connect to someone with a different Apple ID, I think all the devices should work, but one at a time.
The problem is when you try to connect between two with the same Apple ID. Once the calling device tries to make the connection, it finds the second device to be "busy". That is where each needs to use a different E-Mail address when setting it up.
On iOS devices, when you press the Home button to exit an App, the App may still be active in the background, even when the device is sleeping. If FaceTime or iMessage is merely being active that way, it may be enough to "tie up" the E-Mail address.
From the Home screen, double click your Home button. You will see a list of recent Apps along the bottom of the screen. Press and hold on one of them until they start to wiggle. You will then see a red minus sign on each. Pressing the minus sign will remove an App from the list, and stop it from working in the background. (Click the Home button to stop the wiggling, and again to hide the recent Apps.)

Multiple IOS devices with one apple id and different PCs to synch

I have 2 macs, 1 Apple TV, 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, 3 iPods and 1 windows pc.
I would like to:
1) sync each of them with one of the Macs using the same apple Id;
2) connect with FaceTime with each of them separately (at least the iPads and iPhones);
3) synch one phone with the Mac for music and my work PC for apps.
What should I do using my unique apple I'd?
Txs,
Roberto

When you say "sync", are you talking about physically having songs, movies, etc on your computers and devices? Or simply want to access those files on those computers and devices? *Syncing is different from Home Sharing but you are in the Home Sharing discussion forum. That is why I am asking.
If they are all in the same network and just want to access them or listen/watch them, all you have to do is turn on Home Sharing for all of your machines and devices with the same account.
For Mac/PC desktops, you can turn on Home Sharing in iTunes 11. Go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing. Do this for all machines. After doing that, you go to the media selector button at the top left to see your Home Shares. Or you can enable the sidebar by going to View > Show Sidebar. From there, just connect to your other computers and you will able to listen or watch to your content.
For your devices, turn on Home Sharing in Settings. Go to Settings > Music or Video > Home Sharing and enter the same Apple ID and password. You can listen to songs in Music and watch videos in Video.app.
For your Apple TV, if it is a 2nd gen ATV or later then you can turn on Home Sharing under Computers in the main screen. For the 1st gen ATV, you can either share or pair with iTunes.
If you want to physically have files (this is syncing), then you can sync your devices to the machine you want to sync with.
With respect to FaceTime, if you want to use FaceTime on your phone with someone but separately on your iPad then you can associate your phone number to FT on your phone and on your iPad, you can use your Apple ID for FaceTime. That way, if people want to FT on your phone, they should use the phone number to FT. For iPad, people should enter your Apple ID when doing FT.

Multiple email address with one server account

Why can't Mail have multiple email addresses on one email account? Like Thunderbird calls them Identities. As I remember, Outlook also supports this. I like Mail but it seems rather dated and clunky in this respect.
I am using mainly IMAP so maybe I should switch to Thunderbird but I do still have some old messages in pop accounts in Mail.

You can have multiple accounts, but only one "identity." Configure new mail accounts for all the different email addresses you may have. They can each have different configurations, different servers, etc. as well as be individually made active or inactive. All incoming mail will funnel into a single Inbox, but you can use rules to transfer incoming mail to separate mailboxes based on the account.
What you cannot have are distinct "personalities."
Bear in mind that Mail is intended for a single user and the vast number of single users only have one email account. I actually have four different email addresses but three of them are set to forward mail to the account I use with Mail. Mail works quite well with IMAP, POP, and Outlook mail accounts.

Multiple devices with one iClould account - Please help

My husband and I use the same iCloud account. If we both do a back-up, get new devices (we're looking at upgrading our iPhones), and log back into iCloud, will all of his stored info show up on my phone. We don't want that to happen, but we would like to be able to share music/purchases. Is that possible? Or should we be on seperate iCloud accounts? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

Multiple different devices and one email account

Hi guys,
Is it possible to receive emails immediately to the ipad or iphone? I know that the settings have to be on push messages which it is but the actual settings for the email account is for fetch only. Does that affect the time that the email gets received on either device? The email account is not an icloud email or the others that are listed as possible options, does this also affect download time?
I know there is an option to link many devices to one account with out affecting any of the devices but I cannot remember how. Assistance in this regard would be much appreciated!
Thanks

An email account must support push access, which is not supported with a POP account.
Push access means as soon as an email is received at the incoming mail server, the incoming mail server pushes the email out without having to automatically or manually check the account for new email, which is Fetch. With Fetch, you can set the Fetch setting to automatically check the account for new email at a designated internal - every 15 minutes or every 30 minutes along with being able to manually check the account for new email in between the automatic check time interval.

Can i use multiple AppleID's with one iCloud Account

Our family stores our purchases in one huge library. We each log into our accounts separately (e.g. someone uses an iTunes gift card, someone else uses a credit card, etc.) to purchase music. Each of us can include other's purchases in our play lists. We also have a lot of music loaded from CD's.
Everyone syncs their devices based on their own playlists.
Can we use one iCloud account to keep our respective playlists up to date? We would like everyone's purchases available to all devices.

yes and you can use more then 2
just don't give them the same name

I want to setup multiple computers/devices with one user

I have multiple computers, Macs and PCs, and two iOS devices; iPad and iPhone. I want to setup my server as a file server for all devices with me as the only user. I'm having trouble finding that scenario. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I found a lot of information beyond the basic instructions for configuring the WebDAV before turning it on. But unless there's a way of using the server to store files instead of iCloud or Dropbox, there isn't a real need for connecting the iOS devices to my server. Again, thanks for prompting me to "read the manual".

Multiple devices with one iTunes account

Want to use my Desk Mac as the repository of ALL iTunes items.
Have a MacBook Pro & MacBook Air (to use on the go).
Everything is fully backed-up.
When I try to clean up my MacBooks and I delete an iTunes movie from them, will it be removed forever from my iTunes account and disappear from the Desk Mac?

Your iTunes collection is individual to computer, not in the cloud somewhere and synchronizing to your computer from there. In other words, if you delete a file on one computer it will still be on the others until you delete it from there. Likewise, if it is on one computer that is not a guarantee it will be on other computers. The closest to this is some of the automated downloading Apple does if you buy things from them. You will just need to make sure your desktop is really up to date before wiping your media from the other computers.

Can i use two devices with one itunes account?

I share a laptop with my husband. We have had "sync" issues in the past with his contacts and my contacts intermingling on our separate iPhones. Can I create two different iTunes accounts for us to sync independently? What should I do about this? With the advent of iCloud, we're both going to be autosyncing...right???

This won't be a problem, iTunes will see the new device as a separate device, it will have its own settings under iTunes, you can set it up to sync the same content or different content to the first device, it will have no effect on how the first device syncs with iTunes.

Multiple itunes devices with one itunes

I share a computer with a roommate. He has a motorola phone that uses itunes and I have an ipod nano. Currently the itunes library has his stuff in it. I really don't even want to use itunes, I just want to hook up my ipod so it can charge. My question is, if I hook up my ipod will it open itunes and sync my library on the ipod to the library in itunes or vice versa? I really don't want to accidentally end up erasing all his songs or vice versa. I know there is a setting for automatic syncing but I could not find it in the preferences..

So if you have 2 iPods on one computer, but are using 2 different names.
Like, user accounts.
Then you WANT to sync your iTunes?
Because under File there's at the bottom, it says "Snyc your iPod"

More than one device with one iTunes account and one computer

I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and my husband has a iPhone 3 (I guess; its not the iPhone 4). We have different music tastes and do not want each others music (sometimes) on the other's device. But since we both use the same computer for iTunes we only have one account. Is this the best way to do this? Can you have more than 1 iTunes account on a computer?

Can I have multiple devices on one iCloud account

can I have multiple devices on one iCloud account? Like a iPad and Mac Book Pro
If so how can I do this?

Sure. That is what iCloud is meant for, so you can keep your devices synced.
When you set up iCloud on the devices, use the same Apple ID on all devices, then the iCloud account will be the same.
