1 Apple ID, 2 Gamecenter accounts, 2 devices. need both devices on same account, how?

sigh, I've literally been trying to solve this for like 6 months. On my iPhone, I log into Game Center with my Apple ID, and it's my usual account, obviously, now on my iPad, when I write the exact same email and exact same password, it goes to a different Game Center account with a different score, different name, etc. This is flat out stupid, ive tried everything and nothing works, something so simple, changing accounts. Somebody must know something.

I am having similar problem. I think I know how it happens but not easy to fix.
"Apple ID" account is different than iCloud account, but when setting up new phone, everything asks for 'apple ID' although you can use icloud or apple ID. Apple ID is typical for itunes store. if one user for both, it's ok to use both. but for multiple users this is the problem.
my problem is I set up my husband's iphone and set him up on my itunes account (accident), so it merged my contacts into his contacts because I put my apple id in there. I created an icloud email for him to try to fix it but it links this email account now to my apple id still. and when I created an icloud me.com account for him, it didn't ask for a password.
trying to figure out how to create a separate icloud account for him to separate our contacts then only use apple id for apple store/itunes. ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THIS?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

3 ipad uses 1 apple id and 1icloud account, how can i make different icloud account so each ipad will have more icloud space?

3 ipad uses 1 apple id and 1icloud account, how can i make different icloud account so each ipad will have more icloud space?

All 3 iPads will have to share the same 5GB of free iCloud space. Buy more space if necessary.
Suggest you give different name to each iPad to prevent confusion.

Apple IDs can't be merged. If you really want to, phone Apple and ask them to delete two of them.

Can't merge two apple IDs and can't download purchases from both onto the same iMac

Some time ago I discovered that I had inadvertently created two apple IDs. One that I had used many years ago as a student and then the other I created when I bought my first iPhone. These days I only use the newer account I created however I still own a few songs which were purchased on the older account back when I was a student. SO recently I logged into the older account to get those old songs that I'd purchased and download them onto my work iMac - GREAT! ...Right up until I wanted to now download some newer songs I'd recently purchased directly onto my iPhone using the new account - UH-OH! NOPE! I'm not allowed to download those songs for 90 days! Are you frickin kidding me?! They're both MY accounts! They're both linked to me - use the same details, same address, same credit card, same everything else!!! But apple won't let me download songs that I now own for 3 months onto my iMac because I happen to have two accounts. This is insanely ridiculous! I would happilly merge the two accounts if it was possible but of course there is no way to do this either. I understand that the intention is to stop people from sharing songs by linking to a friends apple ID and downloading their songs, however I am in no way trying to do this. I just want to have access to all the songs that I own on all my machines. I want to listen to songs that I have legitimately purchased on my work machine as well as on my iPhone, my iPad and my home iMac. Surely this is not too much to ask? C'mon apple!! Can't you find a way to either link/merge my two accounts or to verify that they both belong to the same person so I don't run into this problem? I don't think I should have to wait 3 months to get access to songs I have purchased!

1. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.
2. Use the Transfer Purchases function to import them from the iOS devices, and manually move the iTunes libraries between the computers.

HT1349 we both have the same Iphone, how can we make sure that we both have different account on the same network?

my partner and i have the same models of Iphone. how can we make sure that when she logs on to our home network, it recognises her phone and doesn't down load to my phone?

Did you try to rename one of them? iTunes: How to rename your device
iTunes remembers the settings for each phone when you sync, even if both phones are called "My iPhone".
So make sure to set it up like you want to, after that iTunes will do the rest.

How to know Apple Id associated with that perticular device (Macbook Pro)?

Hi experts there...!
How to know Apple Id associated with that perticular device (Macbook Pro)?
How to change the Apple Id associated with the particular device?
Okay now the scene is that one of my friend gave me macbook pro as a gift, now we both dont know how to change the associated Apple Id with this Macbook pro. He has his apple id and password which works perfectly with this macbook. But we want to change associated apple id with this macbook. After changing the apple id will it be possible to update mountain lion or to reinstall online completly? Does this process completely disconect from previous apple id and connect with new apple id?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your friend's Mac didn't come with DVDs, he has to call Apple in order to deauthorize his Apple ID from the Mac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After that, you will be able to register the MacBook Pro with your Apple ID, and you will be able to install OS X, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand for free. After doing that, you can erase the hard drive and reinstall OS X, so everything from his Apple ID will be removed

Do I need to have the same Apple id on iPod and computer to sync?

I want to sync music from my husbands computer to my nano ipod. Do I have to change my Apple ID to his on my iPod so both have the same I'd?

Find my phone app is related to the Apple Id not the device,
The device is then linked to the Apple ID as well.
So If you have an different AppleID on each, you would have two Find my phones

I want to make a new gamecenter account but stay on my Apple ID

In case you're not clear - iPad/iPhone storage, and iCloud storage, are totally separate. Buying more iCloud storage does not give you more storage space on your device. Your device has a fixed storage space for apps and data (e.g., 16GB - which is more like 12GB in real terms). iCloud storage just allows you to store more documents, mail, photos, etc, in the cloud.

I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same fam

Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.

Multiple devices on same apple account

My children were given new ipod touches for Christmas. Now I have four devices on my Apple ID and the kids have access to my aps and contacts.
How do I take their devices off my account and set them up their own?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

First of all , you need to create them an apple ID - you can do this on iTunes or online at https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US ! Then you can manually sign out of iTunes , Email , FaceTime etc , or you can reset the device (which will ovcourse delete all the content on the iPod) and then log in with their apple ID ! - Remember when creating an apple ID you have to use an email , but it can't be yours so you'll have to use a diffrent email ! Hope this helps !

Multiple gamecenter accounts on one apple id

Before IOS 7 I was able to have multiple gamecenter accounts under one appleID. One for my phone and anohter for my son on his ipad. I have not figured out how to get his gamecenter account up and running again without settign up a new apple id, which correspondingly means I have to reinstall/buy all the apps again.
Help.....

After 2 hours worth of searching with no answer, I decided to run a test and it worked. This is what I did to have multiple Game Center IDs on iOS7. (People responding may have over looked this detail because they assumed it was obvious, but it wasn't)
Answer: you MUST have multiple Apple ID accounts, however, you use the main one to log in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE.
1. I deleted the Alternate Email Address associated with my account
2. I created an entire new Apple ID with this email address
3. I login in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE with my original Apple ID (credit card on file)
4. I login to Game Center, iCloud, etc... with my kid's NEW Apple ID
So purchasing still goes under our shared account and game center, iCloud, etc... go under my kid's Apple ID.
^ ^ ^ ^ This is the simple straight forward answer I was looking for ^ ^ ^ ^

How do I make one (and only one) device use my Apple ID and iCloud account?

How do I make one (and only one) device use my Apple ID and iCloud account? I currently have an iPad mini, iPhone 5, and MacBook pro attached to my apple accounts, but I want only my iPhone 5 to be assosiated with either one. Whenever I use any of the three devices, I get a notification on the other two telling me that these devices are now using these accounts from these services, etc. and I want these notifications to stop, along with the devices using to them. How do I do this? I completely reset the iPad mini so I don't know how I'm still getting notifications from it, and I deleted and signed of of all of my accounts everywhere I could find on my Mac. So, to restate exactly what I want to do, I want ONLY my iPhone 5 to use ANY of my Apple/iCloud accounts and ONLY it can receive emails, iMessages, and FaceTime calls. Thanks!

If you want to disconect your Mac from iCloud, go to System Preferences>iCloud and click Sign Out. If you only want to stop using iCloud email, just uncheck Mail. To stop iMessage, open the Messages app, go to Messages>Preferences, click the Accounts tab, click your iCoud ID on the left-hand side, then to the right click Sign Out. To stop FaceTime, open the FaceTime app, then click "Apple ID" then click Sign Out.
On your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account (or if you only want to stop using iCloud email, turn Mail off). For FaceTime, go to Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID and sign out. For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID and sign out.

1 Apple ID, 2 Gamecenter accounts, 2 devices. need both devices on same account, how?
