Can i use my apple id on two phones?

Can i use my apple id on two phones?

Yes, but be aware that you may end up getting duplicates of all Cloud synced information on both phones. Either you disable iCloud altogether or give each phone a separate Apple ID and computer user account.
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
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.

    Can I use one Apple ID for two Apple IPhones? I received an answer of yes.
    Now another question.  I have one ICloud Account, Two IPhones.  Can I use Find my IPhone via the one ICloud Account?  Can I see two IPhones on the map at the same time?  or do I need to view the second phone via some other method.

    HI
    I was trying to take my Mac air to factory default settings.
    I've done all that it says in the documment i was following, and them during the process it asked me the APPLE ID.
    I put the apple id i have in my iphone. But it's not the one... it's said that i don't have any OSX associated with it... so it can not install the OSX.
    So what can i do?

  • Can I use same apple ID on two IPads? And how do I name new IPad..Thank you in advance for any help

    Can I use same Apple ID on my old and my new IPad....and if so, how do I name the new iPad. want to keep games on one iPad and use the other for emails etc. Many thanks

    Hi,
    Yes you can definitely use the same Apple ID regardless of how many apple devices you have. This way you can install the apps that you have already purchased.
    It really does not matter what name your iPad is. You usually rename them under Settings>General>About>Name>
    Just a note if you use the same icloud apple id as well, both devices will recieve the imessages and facetime calls.
    Hope that helps!

  • How can I share an Apple ID with my wife or Can I use one Apple ID for two iPhones?

    My wife got her iPhone 4 before I got my iPhone 4s. To make things easier, I allowed her to use my Apple ID and iTunes to sync/backup her iPhone.  Now that I have an iPhone 4s... I would like to keep sharing the Apple ID and its associated content (be it apps, music, etc) but I would like our contacts and other individuals items to be kept separate.  What is the best solution for this situation?  Ultimately I want to avoid having to make yet another iTunes account/Apple ID and because we are married we share everything already.  Thanks for the help!

    Thanks.  I was afraid it would be something like that.  I bought it off my NIH grant from Apple, so there is no problem proving ownership.  Since I can easily live without iPhoto and iMovie on that computer, I probably won't bother, unless it prevents me from updating the OS when 10.9 comes out.  The strange thing is I can update stuff like Xcode (which I absolutely need) without a problem.  It appears to be just the apps that Apple both sells and provides with a new computer

  • Can I use same apple id on two iPhones

    Hi,
    I just bought a new iPhone 4S for my wife and I have an iPhone 4. We would want to use the same Apple id on both the iPhones.
    Is it possible?
    Thanks in advance for your suggestion.

    Just that if I set different Apple IDs, will the data (like photos) etc flow from one iPhone to another automatically?
    No, the phones would need to be using the same iCloud account for PhotoStream to stream the same pictures to both phones, however it will keep your contacts, calendars and other iCloud data separate.  This article may help: http://www.macstories.net/stories/ios-5-icloud-tips-sharing-an-apple-id-with-you r-family/.

  • HT204053 Can i use one apple ID on two different computers?

    I would like to sync my contacts and my calendar between an iMac at home, and a MacMini in my shop.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes - that's the whole point of iCloud, to keep computers and devices in sync.
    Sign into System Preferences>iCloud with your Apple ID on your iMac. Check 'Mail', 'Contacts', 'Calendars' and any other data types you want to sync. You will be asked to create an @icloud.com address. Give it all time to transfer your data to the iCloud server.
    When you get to work, sign in in the same way, and check the same data types. Give it a few minutes, and your data will be visible there.

  • Can I use one Apple TV unit to distribute content to two TV's?

    Can I use one Apple TV unit to distribute content to two TV's? If so, how?
    I want to be able to purchase movies off of the iTunes store on both TV's and to display photos and listen to music.
    Thank you for looking.

    Apple TV is designed to display content on a single TV only. Although it has component and HDMI outputs they are not independent and, as has been pointed out already, HDMI will take precedence over the component video.
    You will need two Apple TVs, one for each TV, and you can then sync both with one computer either with the same content or with different content selected from a common library in iTunes..
    Hope this helps.

  • HT4759 can you use the same apple id for two phones on the cloud?

    can you use the same apple id for two phones on the same verizon account and if so can you keep there contacts etc. separate?

    If you want to keep your contacts and other data you sync with iCloud separate, you'll have to create separate iCloud accounts, which will require different IDs.  If you share the same iCloud account/ID on multiple devices, the synced data will be merged and will appear on all devices syncing with the shared account.
    You can still share the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't have to be the same as the one used for iCloud.

  • How can I use my Apple ID with 2 Apple devices?

    I just got an ipad mini and I registered it with the same Apple ID I use for my iphone 4s. Everything was fine until I downloaded apps to the ipad and noticed that the ones I had on both devices  no longer opened on my iphone. Why is this? How can I use my Apple ID with 2 Apple devices and how can I recover my apps on my iphone?

    I've had an iPad for almost two years. When I purchased an iPhone last fall I set it up to use the same Apple ID as my iPhone. I've had no problems doing this. Try resetting each device and see what happens.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
