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.

    iCloud setup with one Apple ID and multiple devices

    What, exactly, are you trying to do? You can use the same iCloud account on as many devices as you want, as long as you don't turn on iTunes Match. Once you turn on Match, you're limited to 10 devices total.
    Is this what you want to do...same iCloud account, but different iTunes/App store accounts on each device? If so, you can do that also.

  • I have downloaded music to my phone through my Apple ID and it has this message that reads you can download purchases on this device with one Apple ID account every ninety days, what does this mean and how do I fix it?

    I have downloaded music to my phone through my Apple ID and it has this message that reads you can download purchases on this device with one Apple ID account every ninety days, what does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Well, it doesn't mean that at all. You can download music purchased with an Apple ID to up to 10 devices. There is no 90 day wait. The wait is if you change the Apple ID.

  • I have an Iphone with one Apple ID and have just bought a new macbook where I have created a different apple id (its complicated!!) how do I syc the calendar on Macbook with iPhone, bearing in mind the different IDs

    I have an Iphone with one Apple ID and have just bought a new mac book pro. How can I syn calendar from mac book with Iphone if the two devices have different apple IDs?

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

    Hello lynnettefromsk,
    The article linked below details all of the locations that you may need to change your Apple ID. This process should not affect the state of anything on the device at the time.

    You can't. All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them, and cannot be updated using any other ID.

  • How do I set up multiple iMessage emails with one Apple ID?

    We have one Apple ID and many family members with iPads, iPhones etc... As it stands we all receive all incoming imessages and this is impracticle moving forward.
    Other than setting up multiple Apple ID's how do we set up each user with an individual iMessage address?
    I understand how to do this using a phone numbers but cannot stop all users getting imessages sent to the Apple ID email address. I have tried inputting secondary email addresses but get error messages advising "account already in use".
    Long story short.....Can I set up all family devices on the one apple ID but designate each member with an individual email address that precludes them from receiving iMessages sent to the "master" Apple ID address?
    Phew
    Thanks

    To my knowledge, yes, this is impossible.  Your primary iMessage account is your AppleID account, so as long as you all share the one AppleID, then all messages will appear on all iOS 5 devices using that AppleID for their iMessage account.
    The only thing to do is have people set up their own iMessage ID.  They can stil then set up unique "receive at" addresses, but these are really additional addresses for messages to go to, and do not get around the fact that the account itself is defined by the AppleID.
    P.S. there is nothing stopping you from using the one, common AppleID for the iTunes and app store, then setting up a new one and just using that for iMessage.

  • Multiple iOS devices on same apple id

    I have a an iPad and two iPhones on the same apple ID. Unfortunately iMessage and face time show I am taking with myself. Is there a way to separate the communication to sub accounts or by device?  I would like to keep control of the apple ids as a child is involved.
    Perhaps there is a recommended way of setting up multiple devices for a family, maybe a KB article?
    Thank you.

  • Multiple iCloud accounts with one Apple ID?

    We have 4 iOS devices in our household (2 iPhones, 2 iPads). We share the same Apple ID. Can we have more than 1 iCloud account with one Apple ID?
    We do not want to share our Calendars and Reminders.
    Thanks!

    Set up your mac.com account again on devices.  Turn off Mail and other data syncing with this account on your wife's devices for data that you want to keep separate.  Then set up a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your wife's devices to sync Mail.
    If you already set up a separate iCloud account on your wife's devices, on her devices go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in your your mac.com ID.  Turn on the data you want to share with this account across all devices; don't turn Mail on.  Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter her separate iCloud credentials and turn Mail to On.
    The only downside to this approach is that her email will be fetch, not push email.  Push email is only supported in the main ("primary") account, not a secondary account.
    The limitations to be aware of with secondary accounts are that only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My Device.  Also, push mail only works for the primary account; secondary account mail is fetch.

  • HT5616 i have an ipod 4th generation nano with one apple id. and i created another id for my iphone 4. I bought some songs on itunes and loaded them on my phone. But now i am not able to retrieve them to transfer to my library. I can see them, but they ar

    when i try to retrieve the songs into my library it says that my computer is connected with another apple id and that i have to wait 90 days. Do I have to wait to be able to retrieve my songs that I purchased? Do I have to wait all the time when I purchase songs from itunes? Its driving me crazy that I bought these songs and are not able to listen to them on my other apple products. Such as my ipod nano 4th generation, and my iphone 4. Your help is appreciated, thank you.

    Hey renie1515,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
    Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • HT2534 Many devices with one apple ID between husband and wife....HOW!?

    So, when my wife and I are both using separate iPads, how do we NOT get all these messages intended for the other person? One Apple ID for .... four products (Each have an ipad and ipod) makes it hectic enough. Now it's a nightmare figuring what to do. went into settings and changed HER imessages to her email address and I'm not getting anything and she's getting all of them. SO, now my devices won't recieve imessages etc. etc.
    Hope someon knows how to do this so I don't have to purchase a whole lot of more itunes crap again just because I'm not smart enough to figure out how to use a different apple id and keep my music.
    Oh, and that's it, the music and apps. We couldn't care less about most of the apps since I'm the only one BUYING them and she uses almost all free ones, but the MUSIC IS ALL ON ITUNES! Do I need to backup the entire library onto a bunch of disks and then "relicense" them from myself? How much work could THAT possibly be worth? Gotta be a simple solution. Never had so many apple products and these are my wife's first.
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    We're screwwwwwed! Not THAT familiar to apple, just barely plugging along and dove in with two ipads and two ipod touches. Previous experience was just two ipods (160 GB) that I had to still rotate audio books out of every few months... well, for me. My wife doesn't use hers as much. ANYWAY, I lost a zillion things with the ipod classic since it didn't have a back-up option and many of the CDs I scrounged up when it first came out were already lucky to have survived college. 8 years later and the computer that had the original files had been replaced umpteen times. ipods failed and decided to quit being a tight wad. Not sure if these gifts are worth it yet.... well, two of them were.

  • Multiple iphones on 1 apple account with one apple password. and when i airdrop my mom my number shows up as my brothers number.... this only happens on airdrop

    multiple ipones on 1 apple account with one password... when i airdrop my mom it shows up as my brothers contact on her phone... what should i do?

    Yes, I understand. That number can't be used for SMS, however, The iPad has no built in SMS capabilites, only iMessage. The only way you can get an iMessage to show with a phone number is if you have an iPhone tied to the same Apple ID. Otherwise, the iMessages will show up with your Apple ID. 
    If you want to SMS from your iPad, you will need an app such as TextFree.
