Resetting username and password, but I have two iPhones using the same username and password. Can I delete the App Store user name on one device without affecting the other phone?

When we bought our daughter her iPhone I thought it would be a great idea for her to use my username and password for her App Store. As she is learning to download and search off apps, it appears that this May not hand been a good idea as the apps I have on MY iPhone, are showing as already downloaded and on our cloud. I'd prefer to change the username on her device, but in looking I am noticing that I will probably be deleting the username and password on both of our devices and then I will have to reset for both of us. Am I correct?

If you create an Apple ID for your daughter, signing out of the existing Apple ID with the iTunes & App Store on her iPhone will not change anything on your iPhone.
All apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
If she starts using her Apple ID to download apps, when there is an app update for an app on her iPhone that was downloaded with the current shared Apple ID, she will need to use that Apple ID and password to download the app updates.

    If you are using two iPhones on the same Apple Account by using the same Apple ID you can remove one by following the following:
    Choose Settings > Store and tap Sign out
    The apps and such should remain. If you want to clear all of that you can do the following:
    The Erase all Content and Settings feature under Settings/General/Reset will remove your content and settings.

  • I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

    I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

    I don't believe that there is a way to do that.  I would sugest using automatic downloads to keep your apps synced across both phones.  You might also want to note that just about any app you have ever download will be available for free download via icloud.
    Wish I could be more help.

  • I have two drives in my macbook pro. How can I download my apps to my second data hard drive instead of my OS SSD drive?

    I have two drives in my macbook pro. How can I download my apps to my second data hard drive instead of my OS SSD drive? Is there a way to point the default directory in the app store to a different hard drive? Certainly for a Mac Pro this makes sense.

    hi i have problem with my mac os x10.5.8 i cant't download new upload ?and the problem is that i can't found my app store on my mac .any help plz

    If you can... you need to Upgrade your OS X to 10.6.8
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

  • TS3276 email was hacked, can open email on yahoo (after changing passwords) but cannot open mail on my computer, cannot even access mail because it will not accept my user name or password and I am unable to reset my account

    email was hijacked and spam/virus link sent out to all of my contacts on wed at 4:21AM..... with the Subject as Rep: My Name or My email address and a link to a web page discussing making money working at home.  Could not get into any of my mail, on the web or on Mail on my mac.  After a phone call to automated support through Yahoo through ATT, I was given a temporary password and was able to reset my Yahoo password and get email on the internet.  I still cannot open my Mail Account on either my iMac or MacBook Pro.  I cannot get into Mail, period.  My sign in keeps popping up and it keeps telling me that my user name or password is incorrect.  I tried my old password, the temporary password and the new password.  Nothing is working,  I cannot receive or send anything in Mail.  Mail is Frozen.  If I want my email, I must go to the web and sign into Yahoo Mail.
    Help!

    When you were entering your new password in mac mail for your Yahoo account, you didn't perchance change the user name from [email protected] to just name without the @att.net? I only ask because I've done that, and att.yahoo mail requires a fully qualified [email protected] for access.
    In mail, you might click on window on the menu bar, then connection doctor. On the account with the red dot next to it, it will tell you why it can't connect, and if you click on it, you'll be taken to where you can fix it. 

  • B Tree nodee-My hardrive crashed, but I have a new external drive. How to install boot OS w/o App Store

    My hard drive crashed on my Macbook Pro A1278. Disk Utility and internet reinstall both failed. Installer log says the apple server connection is missing.
    Utiltiy disk gives Invalid B tree node error. I want to save as many files from the internal hard drive, but for right now. Getting an OS installer is my biggest issue. Any help? I have a 1TB external drive already formatted and journaled. I cant get to the app store  nor itunes because as sson as i boot my sytem, I am taken the the select language page...then the four optin for time machine back up, disk utility, re install and get help online. I'm using that browser now. but its not upgrade so i cant check certain links with the apple site. I really need help please. I tried a PRAM and FSCK rest from terminal. Mid level tech savvy. Any and all replies are welcome

    Do you have a backup? If not, try using Disk Utility/Restore to copy the internal drive to the external. Please note that this will reformat the destination partition and any data on the external will be erased. Once that is done, boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.
    OS X Recovery
    OS X Recovery (2)
    If that doesn't work, try booting using the command - option/alt - R keys to boot into Internet Recovery (if you computer is new enough to use it).

  • HT5622 I have two iPhones using the same Apple ID. I want to change the ID on one of the phones without changing the other. Can it be done without affecting the other devices that use the ID.

    How can I change the Apple ID on one phone but the other. Right now they both use the same ID.

    Sure.
    For the iTunes/App store...Settings>iTunes/App Store...tap the ID shown, sign out...now, sign back in with the ID you want to use. Be aware, any apps obtained with the old ID can only be updated using that ID, as all apps are forever tied to the ID used to obtain them.
    Fir iCloud: Settings>iCloud...turn everything off, including Find My Phone. For Contacts/Calendars, you'll be prompted to keep the data on the phone or delete it...your choice. Then, scroll down, Delete Account. Now, set everything back up using the new ID.
    This won't affect any data stored at iCloud.com, or any other devices.

    Hey there HaroldHarold13,
    It sounds like after changing the password for your Apple ID, your daughter was prompted that her password was incorrect. It is possible that she is using an alias setup under your account, and you can verify this at http://www.icloud.com. This article will show you how to check for that:
    iCloud: Create or change email aliases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2622
    Change, deactivate, reactivate, or delete an alias
    In iCloud Mail, choose Preferences from the Action pop-up menu in the sidebar.
    Click Accounts.
    Select the alias in the Addresses list, then do any of the following:
    To choose a new color for incoming messages, click a Label Color option. Alias labels appear only in the iCloud Mail app on iCloud.com.
    To change the name or label, enter a new alias name and label in the fields provided. Alias names must contain between 3 and 20 characters.
    To turn off an alias, select “Disable alias.”When an alias is turned off, all email messages addressed to that alias are returned to the sender.
    To turn on an alias, deselect “Disable alias.”
    To delete an alias, click Delete.
    Also, when you setup the iCloud account, you get a free @icloud.com email address. That one or the other of you may be using. You can check this by logging into http://appleid.apple.com
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling
