My brother and I share the same itunes account, but we have different itunes libraries and ipods, is icloud going to mix or delete or do something to our ipods and libraries content?

I love what iCloud is going to do and I am thinking on getting rid of my gmail account when iOS 5 comes out but i am afraid of what could happen to my brothers library and my library and to all the apps we have acquired on the same account.
I wonder if iOS 5 will recognize the difference between my brothers library and mine and they will sync with their respective library instaed of deliting everything or mixing everything or i dont know what it could do.
Hope someone has a positive answer to my question.

Fingers crossed the following document might be of some assistance:

    My wife and I share the same email address but have separate IPhones. We would like to have each phone individually on "find friends" but cannot do it via email route. How is it done?

    make seperate appleID's if you wish to be frinds or if you wish to facetime video chat and if you wish to not recieve the samme imessage msg's unless you turn it off
    you can still set both your iphones to use an email address even if both have different appleId's
    the appleID is a handle not a link to an email address

  • HT1495 My husband and I share an i cloud account but each have our own separate ipads. We were told this would work, but now I can't find a book that I've downloaded on my ipad anymore. Where would I find it?

    You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that.  Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card.  Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account. 
    Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud.  Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account.  To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.

  • HT201077 my daughter and I share the same apple id but can we have separate photo stream

    My daughter and I share the same apple ID for music and apps. Is there any way for us to have separate photo streams. We do not want to share photos.

    Hi
    I also have 2 iphones (mine and my wifes), all on ONE iTunes ID and ONE iCloud ID.
    I want to backup our photos only automatically to my Windowns 7 PC using Photostream & iCloud from both devices BUT I dont want her photos on my phone and vice versa.
    I too would like to keep 1 iTunes account and because I dont  want her photos streamed to my phone I will create separate iCloud IDs.
    My question is.....
    Can I set up my iClound control panel in Windows to backup photos from BOTH the iCloud IDs on the 2 phones?
    I dont mind the backups going to the same folder on my PC, but I do want to keep the pics on the phones separate.
    (also I am happy to use 3rd party software or manual options if not possibe with Apple products)

  • Me and my mom share the same apple account but I get all the apps she downloads..how do i get rid of this?

    Me and my mom use the same apple account for our iphones but everytime she downloads an app it gets downloaded to my phone how do i stop that?

    Start iTunes on your PC.  If your iPhone doesn't appear under devices, connect your iPhone to the PC using the USB cable.  Click on the name of your iPhone under devices.  Click on the Apps tab at the top of the screen.  Scroll down a bit and uncheck the box next to "Automatically sync new apps".  Click the Apply button at the bottom of the screen.  If the sync process doesn't automatically start, manually initiate a sync.

  • My wife and I are thinking about getting match but we have different itunes accounts and we are worried about losing our individual apps

    my wife andI are thinking about getting match so that all of our music is in one place. However, we are currently have different itunes accounts and we are worried about losing the different apps that we have accumulated over time, also she has more storage than I do and we are a little worried about that.  Does anybody have any ideas.

    You won't lose any apps but one of you will lose the ability to update apps on the device.
    For you to share iTunes Match all devices must be signed into the same iTunes Store Apple ID that was used to purchase the service. This means any Apps that were purchased with the other Apple ID cannot be updated on the device as a device can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days.
    I know it's not what you want to hear, but my suggestion is to simply stay with the system you have. It will cause you less headaches.

    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
    Simplest way is to create a New User Account for each of you...
    Each user will then have their own iTunes library.

    Hi tomgoggs,
    iTunes purchases do not count against your iCloud memory space. See this article for what iCloud is used to store -
    iCloud: iCloud storage plan overview
    If you are having an issue with iCloud memory being full, you may want to use the steps in this article to help -

  • HT204053 How do i make icloud work if my husband and I share the same itunes account but we dont want to get each others contacts, messages, apps etc?

    How do i make icloud work if my husband and I share the same itunes account but we dont want to get each others contacts, messages, apps etc?

    Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
    Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

    You can't merge Apple IDs.  What you could do is set up your phone to use the same iCloud accout you are using on your Mac.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (Contacts, Calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Now add the iCloud account you set up on your Mac (with the same Apple ID) and turn syncing back on for Calendars, Contacts, etc.  When prompted, you will probably want to choose merge, to merge the data on your phone with the existing data on this iCloud account.

  • I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

    I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.
