Device and app sharing separate apple I.d's
Hello I am new two apple gadgets but am getting hooked on them.
My situation is I have iPod and another family member has one.
I put iTunes on old p.c. And syncing between both was fine.
I got new p.c. No iTunes on it yet.
Now it may get a little complicated..
I bought an iPhone with different I.d. I will use this in iTunes when I
put it on my new windows p.c.
So when I put iTunes on p.c. I think I can link my old apple I.d. To it
So iPods will sync and iPhone will sync. This should work me thinks.
Now I have another addition to the apple family an iPad this iPad will
Be used by me and another family member with separate apple I.d.'s
So I will have to add another apple I.d. To iTunes on my p.c.
Question 1: can I have three apple I.d.'s linked to my p.c. iTunes?
My iPhone has iCloud maybe that will come in handy and the iPad has iCloud too
But I was thinking the iPad iCloud should be for family members apple. I.d. As
They will use it regularly and I don't want all the apps and stuff off my iPhone going on it.
But the odd app on my phone I would like to use on iPad.
Question 2: can I put certain apps on iPad or vise versa. Using iTunes or icloud?
If you understood all that. Well done it was starting to confuse me a bit reading through it.
I did read lots of FAQ s but they confused me more the more I read of them.
Thanks in advance for any help it is much appreciated.
If you don't know what I'm asking just call me a banana a...
You sure can, just as long as you use a different email address for each.

My roomate and I have separate apple id's and we both purchase music from iTunes Store on our own id's. we authorized eachother as users on our computers. I recently purchased iTunes Match. If he sets his MacBook and iPhone 4 as one of my devices (1of10) on iTunes Match will he be able to see his purchases and mine on his computer? Will I be as to see his? Can he still use his apple I'd? I'm new to this....
FYI I have iPhone 5 and windows vista my roomate has iPhone 4 and a macbookWelcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes. -
All is in the title, so I repeat it below with a better identation.
What are the pros and cons of
1) choosing to use the SAME
Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and
purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or
2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides"?
P.S.
I have loads and loads of free podcasts in iTunes in my iMac, that are certainly more thant the 5 gigas the iCloud provides for free, so I don't want those to go to the cloud. But this is perhaps a different question...
Also need to mention that I have itunes on a mac, a pc and an iphone.
Sorry to look so silly with this question, but I don't get the "big picture".You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

HT204053 My husband and I have separate apple IDs, how do we use the same iTunes account
My husband and I have separate apple IDs , how do we use the same iTunes account
You don't. Each ID is associated with a separate account. Each of you should maintain a separate user account on your computer so as to maintain separate iTunes Libraries. Do not sync your phone with your husbands account or Apple ID and vice-versa or your data will become inter-mixed or worse - deleted from the phone.
Try to understand that iDevices are intended for use by one person with one Apple ID, one iTunes Library, and one iTunes account. They are not multi-user devices. -
my computer has been seen at Genius bar 6 times for freezing up, reloaded all original settings, all of their diagnostics, and they even sent it to the apple shop where they replaced the battery and logic board. Still freezes after I try to reload iTunes stuff and app stuff from apple, especially iPhoto which is seems to refuse to load and then begins freezing up all over again. Anyone else have this problem. Other than this, I have had absolutely no problems with this computer. Now, it's a file of junk.
Hi Ronald ...
Have you checked lately to see how much free space there is on the disk? Especially since iPhoto freezes at launch ...
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
And make sure the OS X software is up to date.
Click the Apple top left in your screen.
From the drop down menu click: Software Update
If you have anti virus software installed or are using third party Mac cleaning utiliites, that may be part and parcel of the your problems. -
My wife and I shared an Apple ID, I have closed out the iTunes on her iPhone and her iPad. While trying to set up a new iTunes account when I enter her email address it says we have to select a new email address. I have checked and her email is not associated with my iTunes account and really do not want to establish another email account. Any suggestions?
Hi Stateler74,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You might be able to find the Apple ID that her email address is associated with by following this article's instructions:

I have a macbook pro core i7 mid 2012
And update to the latest version 10.8.4 system after updating the system I have the problem appeared to take off the device and stops at the apple logo for about 5 minutes and then enters the desktop How can I solve this problem and thank youIf you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful. -
i want to ask company when user update to ios7 it stuck all of device and not clearly about apple id to active how to solve it or just keep all of device into recycle because can not use?
You need to enter the Apple ID and password that was used to set up/activate the phone. There is no way around this.

Sounds like, because my wife and I have separate Apple ID and separate iMacs, that we would not be able to use iTunes Match as a single unit/account?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you are using different ID's for iTunes, then unfortunately you can't share an iTunes Match subscription. -

my wife and I have separate apple ID acts so that we could register our iPhones and iPads under our own names. Can I have my iMac synch iCloud with both apple ID's so that both our calendars end up on our iMac?
If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account. -
My friend just got back her stolen ipad...she says that she purchased all of her music and apps through the apple store. Will she be able to get back any of the content she has paid for?
If for some reason she has failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then she can redownload some purchases in some countries:

HT1311 Changing Apple ID on IOS Device and Family Sharing
So how does the new Family Sharing feature for IOS 8 fit into changing an associated Apple ID? We set up our daughter's iPod with my Apple ID so that we can share apps and content. If we create her own Apple ID listing it as 'family' and then change the ID on her iPod, what happens to the apps that are already there under the primary ID? Will she lose the status for all of her games?
In short, yes, you can create her own ID, invite that ID to your Family Share, and she will continue to be able to use the apps from your ID without any immediate impacts.
From my experience, logging out of an apple id on a device does not de-authorize or remove apps that are already loaded. In fact, I regularly log out of one ID and in to another in the iTunes and App Stores. The issue you will face in the future with your current approach is your daughter does not own any of the apps you have been giving her via your ID. Way off in the future, when perhaps she is no longer in your Family Share, all the apps she got will stop updating unless she re-purchases them. That may not really be a big risk or concern, but its a reality. The only caveat to keep in mind when logging out and in with different accounts is you want to avoid changing the account used for automatic downloads. Apple (due to licensing restrictions from content owners) does not let you change automatic downloads frequently (you're locked in for 90 days). You can still manually download content from other accounts, just not automatically.
Prior to Family Share I thought of content purchases in 3 buckets: what I want to own with my ID, what they own with their ID, and what we want to share. Therefore, before Apple introduced Family Share I create a "dummy" Apple ID for my family as well as IDs for each of us. I keep the password for this dummy account to myself, and I log all my kids devices in to the App Store using this dummy id (it's got a good name we all recognize that has internal family meaning). We often load up this dummy account with gift cards, and when child wants to buy an app, they ask me to put in the password (so I maintain control of what they buy), and through this ID the app becomes available to all of us. Their own Apple ID is used for all other services and is their main iCloud account logged in on their devices. In time I expect they will start to buy their own content using their own IDs. But they will never lose access to the content on our family dummy account as long as I'm willing to eventually share the password with them.
With the new Family Share we will continue to be able to share their personal content until they grow older and "leave" the Family Share. However, when that eventually happens we will still have the dummy family account and be able to share apps with each other using that if we want. We won't lose the apps we bought on the dummy account we share when we stop using Family Share as long as the password is available to each of us.
There are a few limitations to my approach which the Family Share service improves on so I expect to use Family Share as well (I'm still experimenting with it).
Way more info than you asked for, but hope it's helpful for your planning. -
Help!
After you have updated the apps. go to settings - itunes/app store - click on the apple id - view apple id and enter your new apple id and password. Then check and see if you can download new ones.

My wife and I have separate apple accounts. Can we use both our accounts on the Ipad?
Is there like a way to log out of one apple account and log on to another?
Yes ... Settings>iTunes and App Stores> Apple ID - tap the ID showing in there and sign out. Then sign in with the other ID.
But ... I don't recommend doing that. If you sign into one of the accounts in order to download past purchases from the account onto the iPad - you lock yourself out of the other ID for 90 days. The iPad was not designed to be used with multiple Apple ID's.
