Can you family share between apple id's from two different countries?

Hey,
Can you link an Apple ID from one country, create it as the organiser for that family, and then add a family member to that family who has an apple id from another country. For example, make the Australian account the organiser then add an american apple id.
Would that work?

No, for copyright reasons.
Some content are not available for another country.

Can you access your iPhoto on your MAC from a different device?

My Mac, which is my housing source for all photos from the past 7 years. Is there any way to access my iPhoto and it's contents from a different device WITHOUT using iCloud? I have iCloud, but I don't believe that I ever connected it with my MAC.

Where is your laptop? You might be able if you have file sharing setup and remote access enabled on it. However the laptop whould have to be setup to allow you access remotely. You can learn more about that by asking in the forum for the system that is running on the laptop.

HT3819 Can you only share music with others comming from one apple id at a time?

I want to share music from multiple accounts. Is this possible?

If you create a new ID for her, she will no longer be able to share the apps that you purchased with your ID - unless she signs out out of her account on the iDevice and then signs back in with yours if she want to use or update those apps.

How can I use the same Apple ID account in two different App Stores?

I am from Greece and I use my Apple-ID account to download iPhone Apps from the Greek App Store. However I live in Germany and some iPhone applications I want are available only through the German App Store. When I try to download one of them I got the message that my acount cannot be used with the German App Store. Is there any way to be able to have on my phone applications form both the German and the Greek App store at the same time using or not the same Apple ID account? I have got both Greek and German credit cards if this is an issue. Thanks.

If I create a new iTunes account for the German itunes store, what happened with my previous purchases? Do they remain on my iPhone and my Mac's iTunes?
Nothing will happen to your existing purchases. Your computer will remain authorized - you can authorize a single computer to up to five iTunes Store accounts - and the apps and content will remain in place.
Can I switch from one acount to the other every time I want to update an application or purchase a new one?
As long as you're in the relevant country, yes. Again, the terms of use say that you agree not to even attempt to use an iTunes Store from outside of its country.

How can I change my email address in iMessages so that I can receive messages. My apple seems to have two different email identities and I cannot figure out how to change the wrong one.

My email address in the imessage part of my ipad is incorrect. How can I change the email address to conform with the email address on the rest of my apple products? I can get messages on my iphone, mac but not on my ipad because of the incorrect address.

Go on to settings> Messages > send and receive
this should give you the opportunity to edit email adressed
Hope it helps.

My family shares an apple id so we can share music, etc. With the update, we are all getting texts from each other, etc! How do we fix that?

Our family shares an apple id. How do we have separate names for separate users?

Hello cmdenham97
The question I have is how are using your Apple ID on both of the iPhones. If it is just for purchases, then you can just have that Apple ID for purchases and then have separate accounts for iCloud to sync that data. Check out the article below for more information.

HT5622 My whole family shares an Apple ID so that we can share apps, games, calendars, etc.. Is this the best way to do that? Can we each have our own cloud if we share an Apple ID?

No. There is no way to transfer purchases between IDs

How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

Hi cindy,
If you all have individual Apple IDs, then you would be able to dowload music from a shared iTunes library on a computer, but you would not be able to sign on each individual ID on an iOS device in order to download music purchased under the original Apple ID without a 90-day waiting period between sign-ons.
Here's what I mean:
If you were to sign on a new Apple ID on, say, an iPhone, and then were to purchase and download some music from iTunes, then you would have to wait 90 days before you could sign on the old Apple ID to that iPhone in order to download previously purchased material (and vice versa).
However, if all of the music purchased by that origjnal Apple ID is in an iTunes library on a shared computer, then you can hook up the device and selectively sync any music in that library to the device. You can also sign on any of the Apple IDs to that shared iTunes library and purchase music to be added to the library.
You would need to authorize the computer for each of the new Apple IDs.
Each of the Apple IDs would also be able to download that music purchased either by syncing to the iTunes library on the computer or by downloading it OTA on the device.
So, each Apple ID can download music, movies, etc. purchased with that Apple ID OTA to the device. Also each Apple ID can sync any music, movies, etc. that are in the iTunes library on the computer regardless of who purchased them.
The only other thing you would need to remember is that if an App needed to be updated, then the original Apple ID that was used to purchase that App would come up, and the password that goes with that Apple ID would be required to do the update.
Hope that helps,

HT4859 Help! My whole family shares one apple id and my daughter deleted all of our contacts from her phone, unknowingly deleting them from ours too! I need to find out how to restore an archived copy.

Help! My whole family shares one apple ID and one of us deleted a large amount of contacts from our phone, not realizing that they would be deleted from all of our devices. Is it at all possible to restore an archive of our contacts? Is there such a thing?

icloud is designed so that only one user uses it to keep his/her devices in sync. Problems such as yours occur when multiple users use the same account - icloud is not designed for that.
If a user is using your account, they should get their own account and disconnect from your account.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Once they have a new account, they should go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
Note that an ID used for iCloud does not have to be the same ID used for iTunes. You can all keep the same iTunes store Apple ID to share purchases, but for iCloud, use different IDs.

Can I share my Apple ID with someone else?
You shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people. Each person should have their own Apple ID.
Best of luck,

HT5622 Should my family share one apple id or each have their own?

Should my family share one apple id or each have their own? I want to be in control of the id and password since my kids are 10 and 12.

Personally I would give them their own ID each because you'll end up syncing all of your data onto their phones if you share one.
This way you can set individual passwords for their IDs and therefore have control so that they can't go on an itunes spending spree (if that is a concern).
As soon as you feel they can do as they please with their phones just tell them their passwords or allow them to change it. This way they can do their own thing with minimal fuss.
I hope this helps.

Can a family share an iTunes library.

Can a family share iTunes music, podcasts, etc.

You can't. But iDevices don't count. So you should be able to share the 5 computers.

HT204053 Can you use the same Apple ID for two devices ?

I have an MacPro and I am buying an iPad. Can you use the same Apple ID for two devices or should I create an new AppleID for the ipad?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Apple ID purpose is to have the same data in all your devices and share your purchases among all your devices, so you can use your Apple ID in both devices

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.

Can you family share between apple id's from two different countries?
