My phone number appears on my daughters iTouch and she can receive my text messages. If I need to creaye a new user account for her itouch, can i use the same iTunes account or do i need to create a new iTunes account?

My phone number appears in my daughters list of acceptable numbers to receive texts or messages on her iTouch.
I sync her iTouch on my iTunes account.
Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for her to prevent this from happening? or can i use the same itunes account and just create a separate a differne user name for the same itunes account?
If i need to create a separate iTunes account, how can i save her data and game levels?

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

I have an iPhone 5 and got my daughter an iPod Touch. I set it up using my apple ID so she could use my iTunes. Now we are having contacts synch issues and she is receiving some text message threads that I exchange with other iPhone users.

What is the best practice here? I want her to have her own contacts, etc., but to be able to download music and aps from the store using my account, and to synch her music with my iTunes. Any suggestions? Thanks!

- On her iPod go to Settings>iCloud and turn off contacts and other things if you want.
- On the iPod go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and add here own email address and delete the Apple ID email address. Also uncheck yur phone number if it appears. The only way to delete the phone number is to use an Apple ID not associated with the phone. You do that in Settings>Messages>Apple ID
You can go to Settings>FaceTime>Yu can be reached at and add here email and delete the Apple ID.

Can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.

Welcome to the Apple community Pammy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.

Hi, can anyone tell me if I can have more than one iTunes account on the same PC. I've just bought my wife an iPad2 and want to create a separate account for her. Can I do that on the same PC as mine?

I would advise that you not set up a second Apple ID. It's really not necessary - having two Apple IDs won't affect how iTunes works with your iPads - and will just complicate matters. Each iPad will be treated independently and can be set to sync only the items you want on that particular iPad. If you really want to keep the two iPads separate, set up different iTunes libraries and have only those items you want on the related iPad in that library, rather than a different Apple ID. If you plan not to use a computer and just download directly to the iPads, you can again choose what apps and content each iPad gets.
But answering your specific question, you can have content from up to five iTunes Store accounts on any one computer or iPad. To create a new iTunes Store account, you'll need a different email address, and from there you just create the account the same way you did the first one.
Regards.

I created one apple I'd when I started using the iPad. After some days, I had to create a new apple I'd as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple I'd is appearing. Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.

Anything you downloaded with the first Apple Id will forever be tied to it, and will always require it to update.
The question here is, why did you think you needed to create a new Apple ID? What was the problem with the first one?
To get rid of th old one, you'll need to delete everything you downloaded with it, and then sign out of the ID in several places around the iPad.
Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign out.
Repeat the process, for Facetime, Messages, Mail and any other App you need to sign out of.

My husband just got an iphone. I've had mine for a while. We use the same email address so I though we could use the same apple id and password. But now it appears everything on my phone also shows up on his phone and vis versa, even "Notes." Not good.

On each device, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Make sure that each device is using separate addresses and phone numbers. If your email address is checked on both devices, Your husband will recieve everything he intends to send to you.
Do the same for FaceTime.

Contact your carrier... and have her contact hers. Assuming they are SMS/MMS messages, that is. SMS and MMS are carrier features. Note that MMS messaging requires a cellular data connection.

Can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes and no.
There is no issues at all if you use two user accounts on the mac, each can sync with one of the accounts.
If you are using a single user account, you can add the second account as a secondary account in settings > mail, contacts and calendars and you can then sync mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders from the second account, but not documents and data, back to my mac or photostream.

How do I get music and games which I purchased for my daughter through my iTunes account onto her iPad mini but at the same time set up a separate iTunes account for her iPad?

My daughter used to use my old iPod and all the music and games that she wanted went through my e-mail/iTunes account. She has moved onto an iPad mini but this is still in my account. I want to set up an e-mail and iTunes account for her so that my iPhone doesnt get jammed up with all her stuff. If I do this I think that all the stuff which I've bought will be lost to her. How can I get round this?

Apple devices can hold protected content from up to five different accounts, however updating apps purchased over more than one account (as far as I'm aware) requires signing in and out of each account. You may be better off continuing to use one account for your family, as I do, but disabling the options on each device for the automatic download of purchases made on the account, and in iTunes, the automatic inclusion of new apps when syncing from the library to the device.

HT2204 My wife and I were using the same email address. Do I need to create a new email for to get her Apple ID

Must I create a new email addrss for my wife

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The process of creating an Apple ID will create an @iCloud address for your wife, she does not need to use this for email if she doesn't want to.

Flash form error, can't use the same name more than once? need workaround

I've always written my forms to have multiple buttons, one
for updating and one for deleting. so in html I would do this:
<input type=submit name=action value=Update>
<input type=submit name=action value=Delete>
so I'm trying the same thing with flash forms in cold fusion:
<cfinput label="Update" name="action" type="submit"
value="Update">
<cfinput label="Delete" name="action" type="submit"
value="Delete">
but now I get this message:
2 Errors found.
Error /index.cfm:334
id 'action' was already defined on line 333
Error /index.cfm:335
id 'action' was already defined on line 333
Is there a way to make this work or do I have to either
create a special action_delete or a new form? I'd like to keep the
logic the way I like.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
John

I was hoping to do logic like this
<cfparam name="action" default="list">
<cfif action equal "list">
<cfelseif action equal "update">
<cfelseif action equal "detail">
<cfelseif action equal "delete">
</cfif>
So I just converted everything to html and things work the
way I like. thanks anyway. The forms don't really buy me anything.
