Activation lock with two phones?

I just bought my wife her first Iphone. I also have an Iphone. Can I use my apple I.D. and password for Find My Iphone and activation lock or does she need to get her own apple I.D. and password? I'm wondering in the event we have to use Find My Iphone for her phone, will it lock up my phone at the same time? Thanks for any help.

I have several iOS devices all on my Apple id and all are discrete items in iCloud and "find my iPhone "

Launch iTunes on your computer, plug the phone in & on the "Summary Pane", select "Restore". This will restore the phone to factory settings with all of your son's stuff gone. You can now use it as an iPod touch. To do this REQUIRES the deactivated sim card be still installed in the phone.

You need the original owner to remove the device from his or her account. There is no workaround.

In a group text with two phones that use Imessage and one that does not. The person that does not, does not get my message when its sent in group text. How do i fix this?

I have a group text with two of my friends. here's each person break down
person 1 ATT network, using imessage
person 2 verzion network, using imessage
person 3 verzion network, using SMS
All three of us are in a group chat. When person 1 sends a message, person 2 recieves it, but person 3 does not. Then when person 3 sends a message, both person 1 and 2 get it. When person 2 sends an Imessage, person 1 and 3 get it
so the problem is when person 1 sends an imessage, it doesnt change to sms and person 3 doesnt get it, but person 2's automatilly switches it to green.
How can person one get their phone to automaticlly switch it to green in group message while keeping on imessage?

The quote below from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760 indicates that it in the situation you describe it should be going as MMS to everyone -- which is not what you are seeing actually happen (and also not what you want to happen if I understand correctly). There may be something else helpful in the link.
Group messages will be sent using iMessage if all recipients have iMessage enabled. If not, the conversation will be sent as MMS. Group messages use MMS even if the content is text only.

IPhone activation locked with iCloud password login

My iphone is activation locked requiring my [email protected] password. However the phone will not accept my password.
My apple online ID email is different from the phone required ID email and hence the online password which works lets me log in online, but will not not work on the phone or when trying to log into iCloud online as both require an [email protected] ID and password?

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

Does it matter if you are sharing one email account with two phone numbers

I am trying to facetime with my wife. We share the same email. but have two different phone numbers. on her end it says she is unavailable for facetime. Any help would be great. Thanks.

The 'extension' cords are all compatible with all of the power bricks for Apple portables (PowerBooks, MacBooks, MacBook Pros, etc.). I also have several from many generations (back to early PowerBooks) and I use them all interchangeably with current adapters (in various rooms at home, at work, etc.).
(As a side note, they are not compatible with the iPod power bricks, but that's not relevant for you.)

How to share apple account with two phones

Can you put two iphones onto one Apple account? I want to be able to share music and apps in my family, but don't want to share messaging, face time. How do I do this?

They would have to sign into their account in Settings>iTunes and App Store to make a purchase with their account.
I do not understand what you mean by:
"avoiding me to absorb them on my iphone".
On your Phone and the other devices you can go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and turn off Automatic Downloads. Automatic Downloads mean that if something is purchased on one device, it will automatically be download on other devices that use the same Apple ID

IOS 8 with two phones now getting messages on both

We have two iPhones and with the iOS 8 update we are now both getting the same calls, messages and calendar reminders. How can we make them both be different devices again.

I have the same problem. It seems to have something to do with the wifi area. When both phones are in the same wifi area they both get all calls but when they are not in the same wifi area everything goes to the right phones.
I found a weird entry under wifi, seeming to show that there is an automatic wifi hotspot created by the phones even though "personal hotspot" is turned off in both phones. When I remove the hotspot from the phone "forget this network" then the other phone creates another hotspot. I can't find a setting for voice over LTE which i thought might have something to do with it (that does not explain why my iPad rings when I get a phone call though (no LTE on it). I would not mind except the iPad keeps ringing for about 2 rings after I answer the phone call on the phone.
Both phones getting calls is ridiculous though. One is my daughters and I was trying to take a business call and it goes to her phone too. They are two different numbers. Are both of your phones using the same Apple ID like mine (that worked fine under IOS 7)?

Activated iPhone with incorrect phone number. Help!

Hi-
I activated my new iPhone tonight on my home computer. I accidentally used my mother's cell number instead of my own (thought it was just asking for the primary account number. I know. Foolish mistake).
Anyways my mom now has an iPhone and another phone that is no longer active, while I still have an old phone.
What is the easiest way to switch my iPhone to another number. Or is there a way?

You will need to call AT&T so that they can help you out of this pickle. If your mother was on AT&T previously, it should be easy for them to fix. If your mother had another provider previously, her account was cancelled when you ported her number to the iPhone. It will take some conference calling with that other provider to get everything set up again.

IPad Activation Lock with Mystery Email?

Hello all,
I have been searching online now for 2 days trying to find an answer to this question but haven't yet had any luck.
My father bought an iPad, brand new from Best Buy in January of 2013. I was with him. He has loved it and used it almost every day. Recently, he upgraded to iOS 8. About 5 days ago, my father decided to update to iOS 8.1. When he did, the "Plug into iTunes logo" showed up and he did as instructed: plugged it into the computer/iTunes. When he did, iTunes told him he needed to restore it, which would erase everything on his iPad. Not wanting to do that, he ejected it from the computer.
This is the part where it gets a bit confusing. The iPad then told him that the current iPad was registered to someone, and if that someone was him, he would need to put in his iCloud information. Not a problem, as he put in iTunes account username and password that he would frequently use to buy apps, movies, or songs on his iPad since January of 2013. But the iPad informed him that the information was incorrect. So he changed his password, doing the password email reset link on the computer, thinking he may have put it in wrong. Still no access. In fact, the iPad said that the iPad was already registered to another account. His iTunes login that he had used for all the purchases was [email protected], but the iPad said it was registered to [email protected]. The security questions, which he was sure about, also provided us with no luck, as they said the information was incorrect. It also said his birthday was incorrect.
Once we called AppleCare, they said the iPad was registered to [email protected], NOT [email protected] (wasn't on the phone with them at this point, otherwise I would have pointed out that the iPad says "[email protected]".) They asked my dad another security question, one he is certain he has never answered before. "The first celebrity you have ever met." My dad hasn't met any celebrities, so he has no idea what that could be. And, they said, no back up email was listed on the account, so the email reset wouldn't work. Even though he has reset his iTunes password several times, using the email method.
The AppleCare technician basically said, "You need a receipt to prove it's yours." The iPad was purchased, new (I was there) from Best Buy 2 years ago. He has been using it for 2 years, with no problems, buying many things with the email address that he assumed was his iTunes/iCloud account. Now he has a locked iPad with no way of knowing how to get it unlocked.
tl;dr My dad had an iPad for 2 years, no problems. Updates to iOS 8.1, says it's locked under a different email than his iTunes email, one with @icloud.com at the end of it. AppleCare says it's registered to his iTunes account email, iPad says otherwise. No receipt, but bought brand new from Best Buy (with cash however) in January of 2012. Security question's answer to reset password is unknown, and "no email is listed" to reset the password (even if he has reset his iTunes password many times).

People often use different Apple and iCloud IDs. Never understood why, but they do.
I get that this situation *****. But from Apple's perspective (and I'm not accusing here) anyone can come into possession of a device and create a scenario as you've described. Apple can't waver on their rules on resetting devices. They could be helping a thief, well, get away with stealing. So Apple is for the right reasons not flexible on this at all.

Conflicts with two phones on itunes

My husband iphone 4 stopped working so he got the iphone5 which he gave to me and I gave him my 4s. I have an Itunes account and when I set up an account for him it now effects both us each time we make changes to our phones. I was able to transfer my contacts to the iphone5 but when then I couldn't get my contacts off iphone4s so I manually deleted them and tried to download his contacts from his cloud account and now they a mixed in with my contacts on my iphone5 is there anyway to fix this or how do I get the phones to act independently of each other?
