Multiple devices on same apple account

My children were given new ipod touches for Christmas. Now I have four devices on my Apple ID and the kids have access to my aps and contacts.
How do I take their devices off my account and set them up their own?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

First of all , you need to create them an apple ID - you can do this on iTunes or online at https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US ! Then you can manually sign out of iTunes , Email , FaceTime etc , or you can reset the device (which will ovcourse delete all the content on the iPod) and then log in with their apple ID ! - Remember when creating an apple ID you have to use an email , but it can't be yours so you'll have to use a diffrent email ! Hope this helps !

Facetime on multiple devices with same Apple ID?

Hi...we have an iPad 1, iPhone 4S, iPod touch from 2010 and new iPod Touch yesterday.
I have not set up the new iPod Touch yet...but all the other devices are using the same Apple ID so I can buy apps and allow all my devices to get the apps installed for free. Great.
How can I set up my new iPod Touch to use the same Apple ID and also do Facetime? If I use the same Apple ID I would think that my other devices would start to ring when I try to Facetime. No?
If you know how to do this, can you please reply and give exact steps?
Thanks so much in advance.
-Eric

@dutra - Your suggestion worked like a charm. I have two options setup under my daughter's name in Facetime: Touch and iPAd. All I need to do is choose which I want to call. Easy-peasy.
@jeffreyfromorillia - This advice may be too late... But, register each device using your ID, as you should. Once this is complete do the following:
1 - Go to SETTINGS on device A
2 - Choose FACETIME
      - here you'll see your ID in the account field -- ignore it/leave it there.
     - below you'll see the email field, enter your daughter's email addy (you don't have to worry about the "+XXX"      unless she has more than once device because it applies only to the multiple device scenario)
     - IF you have used your email addy in the email field, click on Add Another Email and enter daughter's addy      here, then go back and choose your email addy and click remove
You are good to go. Repeat same steps for your stepdaughter's device.
If either girl has multiple devices you want to Facetime, follow steps 1 and 2, and in the email field click on Add Another Email and enter - [email protected] - then go back and delete orignal email entered. Do same for second device - [email protected], remembering to delete orginal email here, too.
On your device go to Facetime and edit contact - it prolly shows HOME / WORK / OTHER, click on it and choose CUSTOM, name it iPod, then enter the NEW email "[email protected]" and do same for second device, customizing the field to read iPad, or whatever you choose... Now you should have two options to choose from for contacting Girl 1. Repeat for Girl 2.
Hope this works for you, it worked out splendidly for me.
Cheers.

Multiple devices using same apple id. How do i break it up?

I have 2 iphones one ipad and 2 ipod touches all sharing the same apple id. I want to add a new apple id for my wife and her iphone and ipod touch. How do I do this and how can we share our bought items?

Purchased items are tied to the ID, you can create a new one for your wife but you won't be able to transfer the content.

Problems with multiple devices using same apple ID

I have a Macbook, iPad and iPhone. After doing an IOS update now my devices keep saying I cannot use that same appleid because it's already taken. I cannot find away around this and want to know experience of others

That warning occurs only if you try to create a new Apple ID using an email address already in use. An existing Apple ID can be used with mutiple devices.
What exactly did you do when you got that message?

Multiple devices on same apple id with itunes

I own a iphone 3gs and each of my sons (10 & 7) have a ipod nano i.e. x3 devices. At the moment i have one apple id in my name and have successfully registered each device seperately and given them each their own names. Syncing each device copies the whole of my computers library to each device but what if i want to be selective about what i copy to each device i.e. they may not want to listen to my music and i may not want to listen to theirs? Is the way to do that to select 'manually manage music and videos' and create a specific playlist with each of our names (will it hold video and music and perhaps even games?).

Method 2 is the easiest:

I use method 1, since I want my play counts ad ratings different.
A caution about method 3 - don't use it unless every user is trained to open itunes with a shift-start, every time.

TS3510 Multiple devices on same email account, have a question for forum??

Hello, my son who lives with my ex-wife has an itouch with facetime and imessage. His itouch is set up under my ex-wife's email account. I am aware and have been, that whenever he and I use imessage she receives all the messages on her iphone as well. My question is, can she view facetime conversations as well between my son and I on her iphone?
Thanks!

Not unless she is looking over his shoulder. Facetime call will be answered on one device and the other device cannot join in as far as I know

Multiple devices for same .Mac account

Do I have to buy the face time app twice in order to install it on both my iPad and MacBook?

No, you do need to purchase the app twice.

Managing multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac

May be a very simple question to answer, but can I manage multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac?
I ask as whilst I'm totally Mac'd, my partner who has her own Apple account has a Winows laptop and experiences problems updating iOS software on her iPhone 4S and iPad 3 Gen via the laptop. I'm thinking the problems may be overcome if we manage her iOS devices through my iMac.

Thanks dwb .... I thought there'd be a catch .... not to keen on all that media and apps on my iMac!
The specific problem is that whenever she updates to the latsest version of iOS using the latest iTunes for Windows on her PC laptop she seems to lose something in the process. One time she lost all her texts and the other day when updating to 5.1.1 she lost all her reminders. Not the end of the world but frustrating and shouldn't really happen and doesn't happen to me using the iMac and OSX.

I have an iPod touch and an iPad on the same apple account. If I purchase the same album on both devices without syncing will I be charged twice?

Yes. You're supposed to move it to the second device from the computer and not redownload it from the iTunes Store.

Can I Do This - Multiple User Accounts, Same Apple Account?

I'm wondering if I can do this - I just got a new pc for my wife and kids, each of whom have an ipod. They have been sharing a username and Apple.com account (the xxxx@yyyy id) on the old pc, each synching their ipods with no problems.
On the new PC, which is Vista64 based, they will have their own user account. Can they still use the same Apple account, and share the same songs/Itunes library or will there be problems?
If problems, any suggestions for my setup?
Thanks in advance.

That shouldn't be a problem at all, Bruce. Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for the general strategy and post back for any further details you may need.

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.

2 iphones, registered to same apple account but the second phone was orginially set up on a different computer.Is there any way I can sync the second phone to the orginial computer so as to have both phones syncing the same?

Have two 4s's registered under the same apple account. The 1st phone was set up on the computer perfect. The second phone was set up by somebody who didn't know what they were doing and set this second phone up using the same apple id but onto a laptop. How do I know get the second phone to work from the computer and sync the two phones so they are the same?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
They can all share your iMessages, just make sure the settings on each device are set to send and receive from the same numbers and addresses.

We have multiple users, each with multiple devices, on 1 apple id - as we want to share music and ibooks etc. We want the children to have access to the store, but with a financial limit. How do we do this?

That's simply not possible I'm afraid. You'd need to give them their own account and allowance or make it so you are required to be there to input the password when they wish to make a purchase.
