2 users on imessage with the same apple id but setup so they messages can't be seen by each other

My kids are using my itunes account and they both just recently got ipod touches.  They both use imessage but they can see each others messages.  Is there a way to set it up so they can't see the messages for each other.  I've got them setup with different email accounts so the emails are going to the right accounts, just need to separate the messages now.  Please help me.  Thank you.

This is not an area where I have any expertise, but you may want to consider using separate Apple IDs and using the recently released Family Sharing capabilities which still allow you to share your music and apps.

  • HT4314 I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.

    Hi Jamesdwills,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
    Check out this information from the iPad User Guide.  Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

    Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
    Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
    Allow invites
    Let nearby players find you
    Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
    Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
    Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.

  • We just got 2 iPad air today and Set up both with the same Apple ID, now I'm getting messages and FaceTime for my 13 yr old daughter.  Do I have to create a different Apple ID for her?

    We just got 2 iPad air today and Set up both with the same Apple ID, now I'm getting FaceTime and messages for my 12 yr. old.  Do I have to set up a separate Apple ID  for her to avoid this?

    It's a trust issue. You can set them up so you don't receive each other's messages as long as you each have your own email address.
    The trust issue is the fact that either of you can change the separation at any time via Settings by checking the appropriate (inappropriate?) email address.
    To be absolutely sure you can never receive each other's messages will require two Apple IDs.

  • I have two ipads with the same apple id but my 3 year old uses one of them, how do i update hers witht he apps she can use instead of everything that is on min as well?

    I have two ipads using the same apple id.  My 3 year old uses one to play learning games.  How do I set them up so my apps arent displayed on her ipad?

    When you connect that iPad to iTUnes, go to the summary page and scroll down, there should be a box saying 'automatically update' or something to that effect. De select that.
    With automatically update on, what you buy on one goes onto the other. but with that box off you can choose.
    On the iPad itself, it's under
    Settings
    iTUnes and App Stores
    and then you can choose what you want automatically updated between the two devices.

  • HT204074 I want my devices associated with the same Apple ID BUT...

    ... I mistakenly created a new Apple ID when installing Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro. I am now trying to re-assign my mobile phone to the same ID so they are linked but the instructions above don't work. My new ID doesn't even have a Manage Devices button and the old one doesn't allow me to edit (even though it's been more than 90 days since I set it up). Can anyone help? Do I need to re-install the OS? Can I delete one of the Apple IDs? I can't seem to reassign which ID my icloud on each device is associated with. It seems like you have one chance to assign an ID and then it's set in stone! I'd be really grateful if anyone could help. Thanks, Rowan

    Try settings, messages, tap on send & receive, there should be phone number options to choose from...uncheck your phone number.
    This is an added feature to allow a user to see messages across multiple platforms like your iPad and iPhone.

  • Imessages with the same apple id

    If I recieve a message to the email on my ipod that is the defult email with my apple id will the other users of my apple id be able to view it? Also if they can is there a way I can delete it off their device with out having the device with me?

    Yes. You need the other devices in hand to adjust this if the other users are using your Apple ID. You could change your Apple ID password, but this would disable everything on these devices that use your Apple ID for whatever reason...iTunes, App store, etc.

  • How to retrieve old purchases with the same Apple ID but from a different country

    I used to be on the US app store and purchased apps, music and books on it. Now I have changed it to a South African account but can't update apps or download my old apps onto new devices. Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello JasonHatts,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you dont see the other country purchases. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account - Apple Support
    After you change the country of your account, you won't see the items you purchased from the previous country’s store in the Purchased section.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • HT201493 can 2 pepole use find my friends on 2 devices with the same apple id

    My wife and I are connected to the same Apple ID we would like to use Find My Friends to follow each other but only one of use shows up on the map,

    The app should locate both phones if they are using the same iCloud account and the app is signed into the account.  If they are using different account, sign out, then sign back in with the other account to track the other phone.
    If one of them isn't showing and you're signed into the correct iCloud account, go to Settings>iCloud on the phone in question and turn Find My iPhone Off, then back On.

  • Can you FaceTime with the same apple ID?

    i have multiple devices and would like to use facetime between the devices.  Can you use the same apple ID?

    Yes, you can use the same Apple ID but you must have individual calling ID's listed for each of your devices.
    (Doing this can be a bit of a three ring circus if you have lots of devices)
    For iphones, you simply use their individual phone numbers. But, for other devices you need to have individual, verifyable e-mail addresses associated with them that you will use as their individual calling ID's. I'm including the following link to an Apple tutorial which can help you do this.   http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68

  • I got a second iPad in the family.  Can we use it with the same Apple account and name?

    We got a second iPad in the family, cna we use it with the same Apple name and account?

    Yes you can, and it's then up to you whether to have the same the same or different content to the older one. When you sync to it your computer for the first time it may be best to give it a different name, just so that you can distinguish them.

  • TS4268 I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

    I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

    As long as you're logged into the same AppleID on both devices, this is not a problem.  It's only a problem if you're logged into a different AppleID and then try to associate FaceTime with an email that tied to the other AppleID.

  • Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID?

    Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID? SO i could iMessage if out from my iPod to my iPad at home to be viewed by a family member?

    Look into using Apple Configurator.  It's the easiest way to "reimage" and Manage iPads that I know of right now.

    Also, look into using the Educational Volume Purchase Program, if you have not already done so.

  • If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.
