2 iPhones and 2 Apple Watches on the same Apple ID
My household has 2 iPhones and 2 Apple Watches on the same Apple ID. When using the Apple Watch to contact one another (taps, drawings, heartbeat), the alert is duplicated on both Apple Watches. Is there a fix to this?
iMessage has a setting that allows each device to select from which phone number (or email) alerts are received. I see no setting like this on the Apple Watch for watch-based communication...
Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library. Note that once done you cannot "share" apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must purchase your own apps under your own Apple ID. When you decide to split up like this one of you will need to re-purchase the apps that they want to use.
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

I have two IPhones and one IPad all with the same Apple ID. I can call facetime between the two IPhones, but I cannot call the IPAD from either of the IPhones and when I call my IPhone from the IPad it rings my wife's IPhone after briefly calling mine.
Each device needs a separate address. Use an email address (gmail.com) on the iPad.

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?Hi there Apples or Pears,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

Just bought a new 4th gen iPod Shuffle for my kid. Problem is I cannot do the initial set up, as the device does not show up on iTunes on my PC. Also the charging does not light up. Any ideas on what could be wrong, as I am able to see both my iphone and iPad on iTunes using the same PC?
I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

Iphone and iPad Both Wiped at the same Time
Whilst looking at ebay, my phone shut down, and the apple logo appeared, i have had a few iphones and seen this happen before and then it comes back on like a restart, but this time the apple logo looked a little stange, after about 10 min the iphone came up with its welcome screen a selct options language etc.
Thought this was odd so i conected it to itunes and restored it from a back up, whilst it was doing that i thought i would carry on looking at ebay on my ipad to see that it too had been wiped and was on the welcome screen.
The iphone is iphone 5 and the ipad is a later generation with lignting conector.
Now is there any way that this could happen without someone logging into my icloud account and erasing the devices ?
PS. recently been fired from workNot now, as you can't restore the backup. Before it was wiped you could have checked for an installed profile. I assume you had a corporate MS Exchange email account, and remote wipe is a feature of the Enterprise management package for the iPhone. If Apple did not have that feature no business that was concerned about data security would allow company data on personally owned (or even corporate issued) iPhones.
I also assume that your backup was encrypted, as that is a feature also. So you can't use a backup extractor to check for what was in the backup. -
I want some of the same apps available on my iphone and ipad2 to be available on my macbook pro app store and to be able to link them through icloud. Is this not possible? If not, why not?
The Mac uses Mac OS X and iDevices use iOS. These are two different operating systems and the apps must be written for each operating system specifically, even when the apps go by the same name, such as the iWork apps, they are two ifferent versions of the same app for the two different platforms.
So, as an example, Safari has been written for three different operating systems, Mac OS X, iOS and Windows. And the Safari apps, as similar as they are visually, are not interchangeable for the different platforms. -
Why is my iPhone and air pad ringing at the same time?
Why are all my devices ringing at the same time?
iPad 4, iOS 8.3
Is it on facetime? Because maybe they are both using the same iCloud. Don't worry. It is not a bad thing. -
I am confused and a new user to apple products. We have slowly aquired, an ipod touch, for my daughter. Then I was gifted an iphone. I thought in order to be able to communicate via facetime, we would have different apple id's??? When I tried to change her apple id on her ipod touch, to her own, I think I really messed up, now I am unable to upload gift cards, and somehow it has switched back to my apple id? and not accepting my apple id password? My husband received an ipad, for Christmas, and he created his own apple id, which i am fine with, just having the problem with my daughters ipod touch not being able to upload the gift card, and also wondering if we need different apple id's and if that is my problem?
Any help will be greatly appreciated:)Create Apple IDs for everyone individually and use that in Settings > Facetime, Settings > Messages, Settings > Game Center but keep the Apple ID used for app and content purchases in Settings > iTunes and App Stores

Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjust, please let me know.
Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails.
