Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id

Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id

When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs.

  • I have an ipod, ipad and macbook pro.  When I add anything to my calendar it always comes up twice, and always reminds me twice on all of my appliances.  Its probably really simple but how do I rectify this?

    Hi there.  Can anyone help?  I have an iphone, ipad and macbook pro.  Whenever I add anything to my calender it always puts itself in twice and always reminds me of everything twice on each of my appliances.  I'm sure it just a matter of ticking or unticking boxes but I can't seem to get the right ones.

    - You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
    go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

    Hey 1Jerry,
    Thanks for the question. You'll want to delete and re-add your iCloud account (utilizing the new Apple ID address). When prompted, opt to keep as much information on your device as possible. The following article provides information on how to do so:
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Turn off iCloud completely
    Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Have Pages on iPad and MacBook Pro but can't access docs from iCloud on laptop.

    have Pages on iPad and MacBook Pro but can't access docs from iCloud on laptop. laptop keeps telling me to purchase pages for iPad (which I've been using on both the iPad and MacBook for months - App store says i have them both too). Both units have current updated systems and apps. Using same apple ID.  Calendar and contacts work fine between both machines.

    Do you have any secondary accounts set up in mail, contacts and calendars.

  • Imessage & sms using iphone ipad and macbook pro

    I just had a new ipad mini for christmass.  Great... but I have a new problem.
    Note that I dont have a data plan on my cel.  That means that i received imessages only when I am connected to wifi (home, university, etc..)
    Before I had my new ipad mini. i configured my iphone and macbook pro to use imessage with my cel phone no as my primary ID.  Everything was fine.   When I was at home (both iphone and macbook pro connected to wifi), i was getting imessages on both my iphone and macbook pro at the same time.  My friends that do not have apple devices were sending me sms that i was getting on my iphone only.  When leaving home with my iphone only,  I usually close my laptop that is getting automatically in sleep mode.  My iphone continue to receive all my messages (my friends imessages were automatically converted to sms because my macbook pro is sleeping and therefore not accepting imessages and my iphone was not connected to wifi).  When I get at school and my iphone connect to wifi, my iphone now reveives all imessages plus sms.
    With the new ipad mini (configured the same was as my macbook pro to accept imessage with my iphone no as the main ID) it seems that it continues to receive all imessage, even when sleeping.
    The effect is that when i leave home with my iphone only and get out of the wifi, my iphone do not get any imessage that are accepted by my ipad mini.  My friends that use iphones dont know that i am not getting their messages because they see on their iphone that their message have been distributed.
    That is a big problem for me. 
    I want to receive all my messages (imessage and sms) on my iphone... when i am connected to wifi and when i am not.
    The work around solution i use (that i dont really like) is that, on my new ipad mini, i unchecked my phone no in the list of ID for imessages.  With this solution, i am back as i was before getting my new ipad mini... but the problem is when i use imessage with my apple mini using my apple id as my imessage ID, my friends are getting 2 different conversations... on with my iphone no as imessage ID and another one with my apple id as my imessage ID.  If they ever use this last one when I am out of a wifi zone with my iphone... I will not get those message on my iphone...
    What is the solution??????
    Thanks for helping.

    Hey there David,
    If you are still not receiving your iMessages between all your ios devices, I recommend the following section of this article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
    If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, follow these steps.
    Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
    If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • How do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?

    how do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?
    I saved a corrected, most up to date version of my master Address Book Contacts as a back-up on my Mac Book Pro.
    then in an effort to "simplify my life"  i attempted to sync my I phone contacts - ( pre clean-up version) with my clean list on Mac Book Pro, New I pad and newly available icloud. DUH!! Using iTunes to do the sync caused the clean MacBOOK Pro list to be commingled with the dirty iphone contacts. amd now the whole mess is in the cloud. 
    I need to clear out the contaminated lists from all iplaces, and startover with Back-up on my macbook pro. BUT HOW???
    Help
    Karen

    I had exported an address book backup: abbu
    so since i wrote, i have found my way into the cloud: selected all entries - deleted them all from the cloud.
    This wiped out contacts on my iphone and i pad, and MBP, as well as on the cloud.  I then imported the abbu back into my now empty address book. 
    To repopulate the crowd, i selected all in my address book and created a single card vCard for export to my desktop.  I then dragged that vcard into my empty cloud.  Now my cloud has the same clean contacts as my MBP addressbook.  The cloud then pushed the clean contacts into my empty ipad and iphone contacts. 
    I had to go back to Address Book>preferences>Accounts and Add an I cloud account - but if you accidentally create a second i cloud account - all of a sudden your address book will duplicate itself.  I quickly reversed it by deleting one of the icloud accounts in my Address Book>preferences>Accounts. 
    I created a new entry on my MBP and it is now on all devices and in cloud
    I also created a new entry on my iPhone and it is now in the address book on my MBP.
    I feel empowered!!
    Have i missed anything??

  • How do I activate continuity calls on my macbook pro? I have an iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014 and I live in Dubai

    I have an iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014 and I live in Dubai, I bought my macbook from Canada and iPhone from UAE so it doesn't have FaceTime but i should be able to get calls on my mac right?

    If you set your imessage off on your phone it will only turn it off on your phone i think I don't think it effects your mac. I'm not 100% sure on this though.
    If you want to remove imessages from your mac  -  Open iMessage, go to Messages top left, and then select Preferences. Select "Accounts" and then simply "Sign out" That should do it.

    n my house we have 2 iphone 4, and everytime we get the same contact list freom each other, how can we unsync the contacts so each user keeps thir own contact list?

    Hi user 1724, before icloud, we had the same issue.... 
    so yes,  the solution was to  each log  into the mac separately.
    i kept the main itunes library and apple id, and my son made his own itunes library (which linked to the main itunes/apple id)   - so we were able to maintain separate contacts lists.
    but then w/ the cloud i guess we assumed the cloud would know we each have different contact lists on diff. phones, but it seems the cloud just lumped it all together -
