Bought two Ipod touches. I linked them with the same apple ID. Was I suppose to do that? If not, how do I change it to where we both still can have access to my main account?

I bought two ipod touches. One for my daughter and one for myself. I set hers up the other day and then set mine up this morning. I used the same ID for both. When I went to use mine and check out games, it had her user name on there. Can I have two different ID's off of one email address? How can I change this to where her and I don't share any of the information?

You can rename one of he devices: iTunes: How to rename your device
After that set up a new user on your computer adn sync one of the ipods to this one. Everybody will have his own iTunes library, contacts, calendars etc. after that.

  • I have an iPod touch and an iPad on the same apple account.  If I purchase the same album on both devices without syncing will I be charged twice?

    Yes. You're supposed to move it to the second device from the computer and not redownload it from the iTunes Store.

    Each device needs a separate address. Use an email address (gmail.com) on the iPad.

  • I have a iPod touch that's in another country with the same Apple ID  as mine , anyone know is that legal?

    I have tried to resolve this matter for over two years, and one day ,I read a post about a person living in the UK asking about the (GSM+CDMA) on Jun 16 2013 10:30AM, stating that they had a device that was bought in the UK, with a certain model number and one of the community modulator told that person that they was wrong, Based on the fact that, that model was never sold in the UK,it was strange to me because I have been looking for my daughters I pod touch that was stolen around this very time frame and certain post was asking how do this and that, as I know there are thousands of people asking the same questions. it was how they asked, like over and over, until I saw this Post about the CDMA ,what got me going again asking. If some didn't want there Apple ID to conflict with an Apple ID here in the USA then would the same Apple ID in the UK be not even looked at as the same owner .. I didn't ask before because I had no proof until that post, only be caused they left there name on the bottom of the form they posted

    The only problem would be with making iTunes/App Store purchases and updating app.
    You can only use the iTunes/App Store in the country you are located AND the payment method in the ID/account must be associated with that country.
    Also, not all apps are available in all countries and thus you may not be able to update an app

  • We have 2 iphones 4 and one ipod touch and they all use the same apple address for purchases.  How do we stop getting each others texts?

    We are recieveing each others texts, it has only happened since we upgrated to iOS6.  We only get each others iMessages.

    You have two issues: 1. iPad is designed for single person use, not multiple users like a computer is, 2. Everyone trying to use this "single person" device uses the same Apple ID. As far as iMessage is concerned, this is the same person...how would it know differently?
    There is no solution to fix this. Even if everyone got their own Apple ID's, you're still trying to use a device, designed to be used by a single user, with multiple users. It simple is not gonna work, and if you manage to get it to work, it won't work very well.

  • HT4623 how do i get an iphone to sync to my computer? It does not read when i connect it and it does make a connection sound but my ipod touch has no problem with the same charger.

    and my iphone is not syncing either

    Try restarting your iPhone, then the computer, then if that doesnt work, try plugging the cord into a different usb outlet. This works for my nano because my laptops outlets are cheap... Hope it helps! if all else fails, ur warrenty will cover it. no worries.

  • I have 2 ipod touch with the same apple id and password. Can I change the id and password on just one of them?

    I bought a second ipod touch 4g for my daughter for Christmas  amonth ago. I wanted to be sure it was Ok so
    I "tested" it by signing up with the same Apple ID and password as MY touch. I assumed it would not be a major
    problem to "clear" it so my daughter could set it up with her own account (Apple ID/email and password). I am
    unsure HOW to do this. I have read several articles but none seem to be very clear. I do not want to cause any
    "damage" to MY touch such as messing up my apps and itunes library. Any advice?

    Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

  • Using Windows, can you have an ipod touch and an ipad on the same itunes account with the same apple ID?

    I currently have an ipod touch 4th gen. I will be getting a new ipad in a few weeks. My itunes account is on a Windows computer. Will I be able to have the ipad under the same itunes account with the same apple ID as my ipod touch so I can have all of my music from my ipod touch and other info on both deveices, without using icloud or imatch etc. Thanks!

    Yes

  • 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.

  • HT5731 How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
    If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

  • I have 3 iphones, an ipod touch and an Ipad on the same itunes account.  should I have a different account for each device?  If so how do I get all my purchases, like music on all the devices?

    You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, including separate backups. I'd suggest giving each device a unique name, to make things easier.

  • 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:

    Game Center settings
    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.
    Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.

  • 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. 
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-configurator/id434433123?mt=12
    Also, look into using the Educational Volume Purchase Program, if you have not already done so.

  • TS3297 I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place.

    I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes

    It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.
