Multiple device in one household help with iCloud
My son and I both have Iphones. We have separate Apple ID's for icloud. Is there any way that we both connect to my existing Itunes account with separate Apple ID's?
You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores and have separate IDs for other services such as iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime. The ID used for purchasing does not need to be the same as the one used for these other services. Just enter the same ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores. (If you need to change it on one of the phones, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the other ID.)

Multiple devices trouble sharing & syncing apps with iCloud
We have 2 iPods, 1 iPhone, a PC laptop and a PC all on the same iCloud Apple ID. The iPhone and the two iPods each have their own Apple ID for making purchases. The iPhone and one of the iPods are able to share apps purchased separately after the devices are sync'd in iTunes, but one of the iPods (which was originally using a different iTunes account but is now on the same iTunes account as the other iPod and the iPhone - maybe this is part of the problem?) can't seem to get any of the apps from the other two. In iTunes, we can select the shared apps when this iPod is connected, but when we try to sync, nothing gets added. Thoughts on what we might be doing wrong?
Also, I thought iCloud automatically shared apps among devices. We have to sync the devices on iTunes to share the apps...is this how it is supposed to work?
Thanks so much for any help anyone can provide!!
Holmer99Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's unclear from your post whether you fully appreciate the difference between iCloud and iTunes. iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes and each account can use a separate ID, my first thought therefore would be that you may be using a different ID for this iPod. Check you are using the same ID for iTunes on the PC and iTunes on the iPod at settings > store.
Apps don't exactly sync between devices, they sync according to your settings in iTunes. They can however automatically download to a device when purchased on another, for this to occur, you need the automatic download option checked at settings > store. -
Connect multiple devices to one Thunderbolt port with docking station
Hello everybody,
for a video editing setup I would like to use all devices connected until now directly to my iMac just with a Thunderbolt docking station on only one Thunderbolt port. What I do not understand is, whether bitrate will stay the same for each device or will be splitted? Has this to do with daisy chaining Thunderbolt devices?
So this will be the setup:
1 Thunderbolt cable from iMac to Thunderbolt docking station
devices connected to docking station:
one Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt
one external USB 2.0 hard drive
one external USB 3.0 hard drive
external HDMI monitor
Ethernet connection
So the general question is, will all of these devices get only part of the bitrate that Thunderbolt provides or can each device, theoretically, get full Thunderbolt bitrate?
And are there different types of Thunderbolt cables (Thunderbolt 1 or 2) that I have to pay attention to?
Regards DonTimoAlso, if you use the Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display, it will have an additional Thunderbolt and Firewire ports on its back.

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.

Had asked for help with iCloud 3 weeks ago. Cloud has my old email and I no longer know the password, wont't let me sign in with new email. When I talked with apple cust service they assured me that everything associated with apple would change over. NO it did not! Cannot find how to get cloud to change this. My Iphone says I have not backed up in 9 weeks because of iCloud. Can anyone help me or give me some advise please
Thank you so very much
Sandie PSame thing happened to me. My son's iPod touch suddenly started indicating that my "username or PW had changed" or was "incorrect" so I paid Apple $30 to find out that all that was required was updating the software by plugging his iPod into my computer & syncing with iTunes. My problem was then solved.

2 photo streams on my iphone 4s in albums - I just want one to sync with iCloud
I have 2 photo streams on my iphone 4s - I just want one to sync with iCloud.
When I go into my Albums 2 show up as Photo Stream under my Camera Roll and even using edit I can't delete the blank one.
I just want one that syncs photos I take to the iCloud and to delete the other.
Help please - its a 4GS version 5.01.Photo stream only maintains photos in photo stream for 30 days, although they will remain on your devices until deleted. Chances are only 56 of your photos were added within the last 30 days. At this point, the best course of action is either to copy the remaining photos in a new album in iPhoto, then sync them to your phone by selecting the album on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. An alternative is to copy them to a folder, then use an app like PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer photos in the folder to your phone.

Help needed with iMessage on multiple devices on one iTunes account
Hi, please can someone help. I have an iPhone 4S and my wife has an iPhone 4, we are using iMessage with one Apple ID with no problems (I presume as the messages are sent to the phone number), however I have purchased both my daughters an iPod Touch each for Christmas and want to set up iMessage for them so we can all message eachother. We will all be sharing one iTunes account so can share music / movie / app purchases. How do I set this up? Thanks in advance. Richard
However, when I connected my "fresh" iPad, it immediately started to sync (set to automatic sync), and started to put all my 100 or so iPod Touch apps to my iPad....They were all checked.
It's been a while since I connected a fresh iPad, but I believe that doing a full sync is the default. Stopping the sync and changing what apps you wanted was the correct procedure.
So, next time I connect the iPad, it "knows" which apps need to synced, and does not try to sync "all" apps?
Correct. I do that all the time with my two iPads, each of which have a different set of apps, music, videos, etc.
Regards. -
Is there a way to customize with multiple devices on one account?
I have one Apple ID account but have three iPhones and two Mac computers.
The problem is that the three iPhones synced to the account and items like contacts are all synced together, so all three phones contacts combined on all three devices.

HT1351 Syncing multiple devices on one iMac
Need help on syncing multiple devices with different content on one iMac so each device remains unique. How's is that done? Do not want apps copied over, I want each device to have its own apps pictures music etc....
Plug your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad into iTunes via the USB dock cable.
Find it listed under Devices in the left sidebar and click on it.
Go through the tabs on the top of the iTunes window and select the music, movies, apps, podcasts, etc. you want to sync.
Your selection can include none, all/automatic, or just the exact content you wish.
Sync!
Repeat with all yourdevices.
Or you can do this:
Option+Click on the iTunes icon and choose Create Library and go from there.
Switching library is just an Option+Click away, this means you can choose 2 diff libraries. -
Help with iCloud/syncing emails
Hi
I may be missing something really obvious here as I like to think I'm pretty good with technology and have been Mac based for the last 8 odd years so I'm used to the Apple setup etc. However, I'm having some difficulties getting things syncing across devices and wondered if anyone knew how to resolve this.
I have several different email addresses I use, my personal one and my work one, plus the standard icloud one you get when you create an icloud account. My personal email address is from my own domain name so is set up as an 'other' type of email account, my work email is Exchange Server type.
Across my iPhone, iPad, Mac and iCloud on the web the Exchange email address syncs perfectly. I can send/receive email from this account and if I delete a message/read a message/move a message to another folder etc it syncs automatically across all devices. With my own personal email, although I can read/delete/send emails from any device, they don't sync, in that I may read all my emails on my iPhone and then have to go through them again on my Mac and my iPad separately.
Also, when I log into iCloud on the web, the only emails visable are from my iCloud email address and this is all I can send emails from as well.
My personal email address is the one my Apple ID is set with.
Is anyone able to shed any light on this for me please as its extremely frustrating to have to keep going through my emails 3 times each day, and even more frustrating that my work email which is Microsoft based works better than my Apple Mail account!!
Many thanks
JoThanks for that nunomonterio, I shall get this set up now to try it out.
In the meantime though can I just check a couple of things....
That means I can only redirect one domain I assume, so it uses relevant smtp server (I have a couple of different domains).
Also, surely that mean that when I respond to my emails forwarded from my own domain to the icloud account they will be sent with my icloud email address or can I set them to display the from address of the relevant domain they were originally sent to?
Thanks again for all your help. -
Multiple devices on one router (E1200)
Hello, I've been having this issue with my E1200 ever since I got it. It just can't handle more than one computer. With just my computer connected playing League of Legends, the connection is fine usually about 30-40 Mbps with 100 ping and no lag and I have the 50 down and 5 up from Time Warner (It's not TWC's fault because when I test it connected to the modem I get maximum speeds). But as soon as another computer goes on the Internet or does some simple browsing or video watching, the speeds decrease drastically for both computers down to less than 10 Mbps and gaming is horrendous getting pings ranging from 400-1000 constant. I've been in contact with Linksys support free many times but I can't anymore because to do not wish to spend money for support that should've solved this problem by now. They've told me to configure settings such as turning off WMM, reducing MTU to the appropriate number and changing security mode to WPA2 personal but none of those things made it able to support more than 1 computer without speed drops. I need help because it drives me nuts lagging constantly and I've restored the router so many times already.
That is pretty much my experience with that router (E1200v2), but only when a device with a poor signal is connected. If you get the offending device closer to the router, you may notice that the lag does not occur. It seems like the router behaves like this (affecting all connected devices) only when it's forcing itself through a weak signal.
Things that help:
- Connect the PC/console you play on via a wired connection. Wired connections are not affected by this issue
- Optimize your wireless settings: Get rid of 2.4 GHz phones, baby monitors, etc. (if you have any), and use inSSIDer to determine and use the best possible channel in your home
Things that don't help;
- Messing with WMM (leave it always enabled, unless some issue forces you to disable it)
- Using WPA2. Use it anyway, though. Never use WEP or leave your network open
- DMZ/Port Forwarding/Triggering
- Setting Up Internet Access Priority. This is not an Internet bandwidth issue, but a physical signal issue, apparently -
Divorcing multiple devices from one itunes account
We have one Apple ID / iTunes account with multiple devices attached. I would like to divorce all devices and have each member of the family with their own Apple ID/itunes, but don't want to lose the content (music etc) that has been accumulated over time. How do we do this?
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.
