My wife and I got Iphone 4S same day 2 years ago. I used the same Apple ID for both. We do not use iCloud, but today after I updated my phone to IOS7 I keep getting her texts on my phone ans vice versa. I turned off imessage in message settings. Seems to have stopped now? Never did this before IOS7. Will I have more troubble when her phone updates to IOS7? Is icloud going to be forced on me then?

This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage on both phones. To separate your messages, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both phones; or
If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address, on one of the two phones, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID.

I have two iphones, different telcos, i am using the same apple id for both - how can i use the 10GB icloud free memory of my new iphone 5?

I have two iphones, different telcos, i am using the same apple id for both - how can i use the 10GB icloud free memory of my new iphone 5?

Thank you KiltedTim!
YES, that is the free 5GB icloud memory for each apple ID. Can I not add the free 5Gb of my second Iphone to my original apple ID (5GB also) as I want to use one Apple ID name on both 2 Iphones? Is it necessary to have a different apple ID for the second Iphone to avail the free 5GB it carries with it?

This is often due to faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

To get the orange FF tab, go to View > Toolbars > Menu Bar. This should uncheck the menu bar and give you the orange button.
Panorama is a box made of 4 grey rectangles that should be on the far right, if it isn't after you enable the orange FF tab, right click on anywhere on a tool bar that doesn't have anything on it, and you should get a menu with a list of your tool bars that you can check and uncheck. go down to customize at the very bottom and it will open a window with all your buttons. Find the panorama/tab groups button and drag it onto the tool bar of your choice.
to pin a tab as an app, right click on it; it's an option in the right-click menu.

TS1398 My wifi signal in my iphone 4 is very poor it wasn't the same before. When ever I try to play video it stopes streaming. I hope apple has an answer for this.

I do not experience any problem browsing Internet or using social networks via wifi but whenever I play a video from YouTube or any other source it stopes streaming after playing 10 to 15 sec video, doesn't matter how close I am from the homehub or which Internet provider I am using. Recently I am experiencing that my phone became slow after installing the new iOS 6.1.2. Application takes time to open. Sometimes application closes on there won without any command. The key l board became slower. I wish I could get the previous version of iOS which was perfect for my iPhone 4.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Using the new apple ID for children on iPhone 4 (iOS7)

So, I got a new iPhone 6 and made an apple ID for my child who is under 13. Then I tried to use this apple ID on my old iPhone4 wich I reseted. This did not work. Iphone4 does not have iOS8, could this be the problem? Any ideas?
Thanks!

I know how to create a child account - that has been done. As far as I can tell, your link only explain how to do this.
My question was regarding how do you use this new apple ID when setting up a new iphone which does not have iOS8. Unfortunately I am not able to find any help on this matter. But I am very happy to be wrong here - so if the answer is in fact stated in your first link, please point it out more clear!
Thanks!

My ex girlfriends I phone has same add as my sons I pad and he keeps getting her texts come through how can that be stopped

How do I stop my ex girlfriends text going through to my sons I pad

That's not enough. Sign out of the Apple ID entirely. If you stay signed in, then since her phone number is associated to that Apple ID, unless she signs out of the Apple ID on her device, the association remains.
Sign out of her Apple ID entirely, then sign in with a different Apple ID.

HT1848 My children have ipods and now have iphones. When you download any itunes will the songs show up on both the ipod and iphone or just the one they purchase the itunes from

My children have ipods and now also have iphones. When you download any music from itunes will it show up on both devices or will it only be one the device the itunes were put onto?

It depends upon what country that you are in and what settings you've set on those devices. Music can't be redownloaded in all countries, but for those where it can be you will have an automatic downloads setting in Settings > iTunes & App Store for music, which if 'on' will mean that when a song is bought on that account on another computer/device then it will automatically download on that device as well - if you don't want that to happen then make sure that it's 'off'.
With iOS 7 (and for countries where music can be redownloaded) there is also a Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under the 'Show all' heading) setting which means that music that is only in the cloud (i.e. it hasn't been downloaded onto that device) will show in the Music app - turn that 'off' if you don't want them to show.

HT204053 why does my ipad "Apple Store" app, not recognize me when i try to log in using my apple id? i use only one apple id for both store and iCloud and know i am keying correctly. hmmm.

we use a pc to hold all of our media but are two ppl in the household. we both log into itunes and apple store using our own passwords. recently on my ipad i was no longer able to upgrade/log in the apple store because when it asks for my password it prompts for my partners password and it doesn't recognize me. also, oddly, my partner added an app that i also want to add on his ipad. when i attempted to add that app using my apple id log in it thinks i'm him and prompts for his password on my ipad therefore leaving me no way to have that app. how do i get my app store to function again (recognize me) and how can we finally figure out how to separate the media so i don't get his apps on my devices and mine on his (and then not be able to access them b/c we don't share passwords)? please help.

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.

HT204053 My wife and I have iphones now. My apple ID went good. My wife tryed to use the same email address as her apple ID. The screen on her iphone said that she could but the option that she was supose to click on was not one of ther options. COTINUE w

My wife and I got iphones. Igot my apple ID set up fine. Having trouble setting up my wifesw. We only have 1 email account. The instructions say to use youe email account as your apple ID. I have done that. My wife tryede to enter the same apple ID. The instuctions say you can. It says press use the same. Then press continue. The only problem is that continue is not an option that is on that screen? Please help me with some good and easy fixes. THANKS

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.

Two phones using the same apple id

I use the same apple ID for my daughters phone, hoever i do not want her to have my conatcts, etc... and vice versa but it has automatically copied them, how do i get rid of these and stop it happening?

1. To create an Apple ID, you need a valid e-mail address.
If you don't have one, there are a number of free e-mail account you can get e.g. Google GMail, Yahoo, Microsoft Hotmail.
2. Once you have a valid e-mail address, create Apple ID below:
https://appleid.apple.com
3. You can share the purchasing Apple ID for both iPhone in
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > apple id here to share purchases eg. Books, Music, Apps...
4. All other Apple services (FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc...) you can use the same purchasing Apple ID and your daughter should use a different Apple ID.

How can I enable Facetime for two different iTouch (4 gen) using the same Apple ID?

I would like to have each of them have their own distinct email address so I can Facetime them seperately, is this possible? I have two new iTouches for each of my kids, and I want to use one Apple ID so we can all share the same music. they have their own email accounts, but I would like to know if I can assign each of the iTouch with a different email address so I can facetime my kids using their distinct email address. Right now, they are sharing the email address assigned to our Apple ID, so they are ringing at the same time. Thanks!! CL

It is possible to use one Apple ID with Face Time and Messages by adding email addresses and setting the "you can be reached at" and "Start a new conversation from" in the settings for each device. This method does not work well though.
Your best option is to set each kid up with there own iCloud/Apple iTunes Store account (Apple ID) using their own email address. Then on each device set the iCloud Settings on each device to their specific Apple ID. Set the iTunes & Apps Store settings to use the main Apple ID for store purchases. With this setup each user will have their own distinct iCloud account which will not interferer with the others yet still make purchases from the main one.
