13 apple ids connected with one phone number

I've been bumping into this problem for several years now and it 's just getting worse. When Apple started Voice Pass I had to delete 69 registered products to get down to the 7 I currently own. I have always had only one email address, one password, and since 1997 one phone number. Yet somehow Apple has created multiple ids for me and there seems to be no way to get rid of them. I was in my Voice Pass today and tried to add my home phone number only to have the system kick out my registered number saying it was already registered to different customers. When I spoke to a senior advisor he had no idea where in Apple, Inc. he could find Voice Pass or Apple id's. He did, however, say I was registered 13 times. Needless to say, I have only registered once and the question is, "now what"?
Thanks,
Jeffrey

I forgot to mention. This is 13 of the same account and I can only access one account. The others are in the system and are causing much confusion including now allowing me to use my main number in Voice Pass. They cannot be accessed by tech support and I can't change my phone number just to create a 14th account and what's to say Apple won't give me 13 ids on the new number?

  • Two apple Ids syncing with one computer

    I am trying to get all the music I have purchased within the last 2 years, all $400 worth of it between two apple accounts,  Unfortunatley stupid apple wont let me authorize two apple ids to my one computer....so how the **** can I get access to my content that I PAID FOR!?!?! I have to back up every single one of my songs because they are going to be removed from my ipod when I update it.  Why the **** does apple do this?  How the **** do I go about this ridiculous situation!?!?!

    You can authorize one computer for more that one account.. To do some thing you will have to sign out of one account in iTunes>Store>Signin/SIgn-SIgn out

  • Two apple ids, two computers, one phone#-how to sync messages on on both computers

    Okay apple world, I'm a bit stumped with this one: I have two macbooks, one for work (a 2009 15" macbook pro) and a personal one (2014 13" macbook air) and two apple ids, one for work and one personal one. I also have a 5S iPhone, which I use for both work and personal use. The iPhone has been set up with my personal apple id and my iMessages sync perfectly with my personal macbook air. Now what I would like to do is sync my iMessages through my phone number with my work macbook pro. But when I try to add an additional account, I am only given the option to add a google account or I am told that my (personal) apple id is already in use. Has anyone encountered this issue and do you have any tips on how to trouble shoot through this?

    Sync is about synchronisation to Lightroom Mobile, the iPad/iPhone app, not about synchronising from one computer to another. There isn't really a way to sync two computers automatically, but you can use methods such as File>Export/import as Catalog, Dropbox, or copying through the operating system.

  • App for separate text messages with one phone number

    Is there an app for iphone that would enable incoming text messages from specific numbers to be diverted to a separate app than the text message app?
    In other words, like a separate inbox that could be kept "hidden" on one's phone but with one number.
    Or instead of having the text message on the phone, a website where messages could be viewed from the phone on line?

    No app that I know of, however text message is a carrier feature - contact your cell phone provider.

  • How do I change the apple id connected with a phone

    When setting up our daughter's new iPhone we mistakenly used my apple id instead of hers.  How do I take the id off  and put her id on.  It has my contacts etc. and she wants her own.

    I have 2 apple id's.  One is linked to my itunes, ipad & desktop, the problem is my iphone is linked to the OTHER apple id and I cannot find out how to change it.  I did do a complete reset in itunes (twice) and it went back to the orginal id - even when i restored and set up as NEW phone (did not restore it to previous settings). 
    Gotta be a way to accomplish this??  Any advice?

  • HT204053 Can I have multiple apple ids associated with one itunes acct?

    When using iCloud with multiple devices (my kids phones, computers and mine), syncing causing all sorts of problems like losing contacts & info between devices. Is there any way to create an apple id for each person but still use the same iTunes account?

    yes you can still sync all the devices on itunes using one master itunes/appleID account.
    Music:
    If you want to select specific playlists for your kids, DON'T enable iTunes Match on their devices, otherwise they will get ALL the playlists on their devices (learned that the hard way)
    If you have wi-fi synced enabled that should still work.
    Apps:
    I manually select which apps they get on their devices using itunes. It only changes when they re-sync.
    Don't enable AUTO downloads on their devices for Apps or Music purchases.
    Since I also have young kids using these devices:
    I have restrictions setup on their devices. I don't allow them to install/delete apps, nor do I allow them to make any account changes on their devices. This way their devices stay in order and get backed up to icloud. I can easily restore their devices if I needed too.
    Once in a while I will disable the restrictions so I can update all their apps.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I get my iMessage to connect with my phone number

  • Can I use one phone number on two iphones with two apple ids?

    My carrier allows multiple sim cards with the same phone number for usage on different devices. I would like to use a second sim card for my phone number on a second iphone, but with a different apple id.
    Is it possible to use one phone number on two iphones with separate apple ids? How does this affect facetime/imessage?
    I can only find answers to using the same apple id on multiple devices. This works fine, but is not what I want to do here.

    You may be able to change the suspicious account activity message alerts
    in your Gmail settings, and check that side of it, since I can use several
    means of accessing my Gmail and Google Accounts; and in the past had
    shared an account (not google) with another party half a world away when
    her email server went down for a month.
    The Mail software should not know the difference, unless the setup in there
    is not correct; if this is so, then more than what she says would be wrong.
    The Google mail Support help site pages should cover this adequately.

    Additional Information
    You can change your iMessage Caller ID setting on iOS devices in Settings > Messages > Receive At > Caller ID. Note that the Caller ID setting is used only for new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change your Caller ID, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
    iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, on iPhone you can receive messages sent to your Apple ID and phone number. A friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if your Caller ID is set to your phone number.

  • When i open safari an apple alert comes up with a phone number.  when i call i get put on hold forever.  how do i get this off there?

    when i open safari an apple alert comes up with a phone number to call.  when i call i get put on hold forever or no one calls me back.  how do i get this off there and what is it?

    It's a scam. Do not call the number. There are several ways to recover.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
    3. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
    After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

    Hi guys, so we have 2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID so that my mum and I can share everything.

Is there a way to make the iPad default to other number?

  • How do I delete an Apple ID account. I apparently have 2 IDs associated with one email address.

    how do I delete an Apple ID account. I apparently have 2 IDs associated with one email address.

    If you go onto your ipod, under settings, scroll down to icloud, there should be a botton that says, "delete account". push this, and it should delete an account.

  • How many apple tv can I connect with one account?

    how many apple tv can I connect with one account?

    there are 2 recent posts that suggest issues over 5, one where someone was trying to troubleshoot for a friend or client as they couldn't keep more than 5 connected, and the other where somone had more than 5 but was using 2 separate itunes libraries to share the load - not sure if that was with the same or differing AppleIDs.
    I guess there is always the possibility that things kight vary from one itunes version to the next even unintentionally to allow more.

  • WiFi says I need a password but there isn't one when I connect with my phone

    The title says it all. I'm trying to connect to McDonald's public WiFi and when I connect with my phone, it works normally, but when I try to connect with my Mac, it says that either the connection has timed out or I entered the wrong password.
    I'm running OS X 10.7.4 Lion.

    I've never actually managed to connect to the network, it automatically disconnected and reconnected to my usual one.
