18$ in credit on one Apple ID and would like to use it on my iPhone which is a separate Apple ID
What's the easiest way to go about this?
A device is not connected to one apple ID. You can use many ID's on one phone. It does get a bit annoying switching through each one when there is a update available, but to connect 2 or more, just go to the bottom of the app store and click sign out and then sign into the apple ID with the credit.

I have 3 different apple devices (iPod Touch, iPad and MacBook Pro) using the same Apple ID and would like to use FaceTime to call from one device to the other. Do I need a different Apple ID for one of the devices in order to do that?
I found this on a related question in the Community:
Yes you can do it. I do it with 4 different devices all using the same Apple ID.
You need to associate different email addresses for each device in order to use those email addresses as the "contact at" email address. The reason the calls are dropping on you now is that what you are trying to do is like calling yourself on your own phone.
You can also create new iCloud accounts on each device simply to use for FaceTime, but I'm guessing that the users of the other two devices have their own email addresses which will make this work for you quite easily.
Take a look at this for more information.
The seems to go against what Gail said and the issue you raised about buying dup apps was my first concern. If this other post is correct, how to I set a different "contact at" in the iPod Touch?

I've completely comfused myself with Apple IDs and iCloud IDs today so can someone help please?
MY husband and I have separate iphones and ITunes accounts. We have just bought an iPad which we plan to share. We don't want this iPad to be cloned from either of our accounts but we're hoping to be able to bring up different content/ apps while sharing photos to both our iPhones. Wold we always have to sign in/out of social media apps to swap over (for example) or is there another way to easily share the device by performing one sign in and all the apps switch over to that profile? I considered cloning one of our iPhones and only sharing selected apps from our iPhones (not even sure I can!) or setting up a brand new iCloud ID to be a shared account that we can then (hopefully) use family sharing to share photos. Is this the best way?
I keep reading articles about signing in with this Apple ID and then this iCloud ID and now I'm just lost!

I am not sure if I can program or whatever my ipad mini to use as the renote for our apple tv. We cannot find the remote and I thought I read somewhere tht one can set up their ipad device to act as a remote for apple tv. I could be wrong. Maybe it means sharing some other thisngs between computers but not usinghte ipad as a remote for apple tv. Any information abou this mater would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
scimaOnly if you've already setup home-sharing on ATV and both are on the same network.
The remote app is available from the App Store -
We have purchased 5 apple minis and would like them all on one account, that way we can monitor the use of these units. They will be used strickly for a business application. Can I use one account in itunes or must i have multiple.
Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with. -

I have a few devices on one apple id and would like to switch out one of my phones so they have there own apple id do I have to restore the phone as new or can i somehow switch it without losing all apps and music in iTunes?
Hello lynnettefromsk,
The article linked below details all of the locations that you may need to change your Apple ID. This process should not affect the state of anything on the device at the time.

My daughter is currently using my Apple ID with her ipod touch. I will be upgrading her to an iPhone 4S and would like to use a different Apple ID and a new computer and still keep all the current music and Apps that she has now. How do I do this?
Make a new Apple ID for her.
Use it on her iPhone 4S for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.
Use your ID on her iPhone 4S for iTunes and App Stores.
Sign in with your Apple ID on iTunes Store (on iTunes app of her new computer)
Authorize her new computer with your Apple ID in iTunes (iTunes menu>Store>Authorize this Computer)
Check "Share my Library on my Local Network" in iTunes Preferences in your and her computer
Sign in Home Sharing of her iTunes with your Apple ID.
Copy all the Music she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Copy all the apps she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Export all playlist as xml files from the old computer to the new one.(right click on the playlist to export and "File>Library>Import Playlist to Import)
Sync her iPhone 4S with all content she wants from her new computer (all data from the old computer will be deleted)
Are you sharing Contacts or other data from iCloud?
Be careful or ask for help about moving from iCloud account to another one. -
I bought a 3G and a 4G in Australia while working there for 3.5 years. I have since returned permanently to the USA and would like to use one of these, understanding the GSM requires using AT&T? When in Australia, I took these iphones to the Apple Store and they unlocked the 3G for me, knowing that I would be using it in the USA - but when I took it into the AT&T store in California, the iphone would not work with AT&T's SIM card. May I unlock the 3G and/or 4G somewhere in the USA with Apple's blessing?
If your phones were unlocked by your carrier, they should work with AT&T SIM cards. You'll have to sign up for an iPhone phone and data plan with AT&T, but the SIM should definitely work. Go to an AT&T store and have them set up your account and activate your SIM there.
AT&T will NOT be able to unlock your Australia-purchased phones. -

I have rented a movie on my apple TV, and would like to have it available on my computer to watch. How do i watch it on my computer without getting charged again?
You can't if your rented it on your Apple TV - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer. -
I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.
Can someone indicate the way to proceed?
Thanks.Hi,
You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

I have two iPads, two separate accounts I have purchased apps on one Acc. and would like to use them on my second iPad. How is this possible
If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with. -
i just bought apple tv and would like to set it up so it works right away. i have samsung tv and yamaha receiver. do i plug hdmi into receiver? i assume plugs are in back of machined so i have to get behind all electronic equipment? does that make sense?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your receiver is connected to your TV by HDMI and has a spare HDMI input port, then yes plug the HDMI cable from the Apple TV into your receiver.
If that's not possible the HDMI lead from the Apple TV can go straight to the TV and you can connect the receiver to the Apple TV with an optical audio cable.
