I can't update software because a message appears that I have to log with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase them: iMovie, Garage Band, iPhoto, but those apps came with OSX Lion.
How can I get the "original" Apple ID?

Can iCloud serve two iPhone users, or do both users have to login with the same Apple ID?

My wife and I want to use iCloud to sync our calendars. Do we both need to use the same Apple id tp accomplish this, or can iCluod support two users with seperate Apple ID's? I can't find a way to do it seperately.

Each iCloud account is tied to the AppleID used to create it. So if you each use distinct AppleIDs to create your iCloud accounts then you can each sync your devices independently of eachother (you will also not be sharing the same email account). If you then wish to share calendars, you can set that up:

My son and I both have iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself from finding out what he is up to during Freshers week!

You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.

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.

I have 3 devices with the same Apple ID. My email has changed and I need to change my ID. How can I do this?

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.

Can you put your iTunes data on your airport and then have your computers with the same apple id sync to this music/ and play list / podcast / movies / iTunes u?

I have a laptop and desktop can I sync my itunes to a master libary on a nas or my airport extream? this would be similar to syncing my devices to my imac (iPad, iPhonce, ect.)

two answers as I am unshour to what you want to do:
Setup homeshareing or:
1) QUIT not just Close iTunes if it open
1) Make a folder on the shared disk
2) Move the "Users/username/Music/iTunes folder you want to share with all the devices to the folder on the shared disk
3) Make that folder accessable by all the users you want to access it.
4) Hold the "Option/alt" key down and click iTunes and it will ask if you want to "Choose a Library"
5) click "Choose a Library" and choose the one on the shared disk
6) Do this on evey meachine you want to have access to this library
8) REMBER THAT IF YOUR NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR SHARED DISK THEN YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR LIBRARY but you can choose librays at any time by using step 4 and you can have as meany librarys as you like.
I hope this answers your question

***URGENT*** Can a facetime call be seen on 2 devices if both are logged into the same Apple ID?

??

I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

I rented a movie (dark shadows) but I can not see it, because a message appear "Problem loading...try again later". Is not a problem connection. I tried a lot of times to watch the movie and I didn't can.

I can import some songs from another computer but not others. All the songs were purchased with the same apple id. Message says "...check connection to network..." Any ideas as to what could be causing this problem?

Using home share, I can import some songs from my son's computer but not others. All the songs were purchased with the same apple id. Err msg:"There was a problem downloading ... You do not have enouggh access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." The network appears to be fine . I can import other songs from his library. The same songs cause me a problem each time I try. My husband had no trouble importing the same songs I have trouble with. I get the same error message if I try to import the same songs from my husbands computer as well. "Command I" appears to show the same protections on both the songs I can import & the ones I cannot. My husband and son are both running OS 10.6, while I am running 10.7. I think I had this problem even before I upgraded, but I am not certain.

Welcome to Apple Discussions..
My first suggestion is to Repair Disk. Here's how:
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Please post back and let me know how that goes.
Here are a few links that may help you to identify the issues:

HT3051 can you change your Change Your Displayed Name if you have multiple devices attached with the same apple id?

We have both a Iphone 4s and a 4th Generation Ipod Touch both with the latest available IOS software on them. Since the Ipod touch was given to a preteen for Christmas and they aren't old enough to have their own email account or apple id 11 years old going on 12, is it possible to have a different displayed name for each device if they are both signed in with the same apple ID and not interfere with each others device in doing so?

@pdroth. Displayed name as in when you sign up for a apple id you sign up with email and a screen name(this is your display name). If you are using any apple device as like you do with an android device you have to sign in with either your google acct for android or apple id for a apple product. If one apple product is utilizing that apple id already aka Iphone and you can't set up a account for your child because of his or her age because of age restrictions, both devices will use the same info. So for instance when using things like facetime instead of seeing jane doe calling jane doe(basically making it show name of other person using your account instead of seeing your own name) can you make on jane doe and one john doe using the same apple id just different outgoing display name. Hopefully this helps.

Can't update software because a message appears that I have to log with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase them: iMovie, Garage Band
