Do i have to delete one of my accounts on ipad or ipod so i can have the same apple id?

Do i have to delete my ipad or ipod accounts to have the same Id

You can't combine Apple IDs, and deleting one will mean that anything you've purchased will no longer be accessible.
The best move to make depends on what you have on the different accounts (so it'd be helpful for you to post that). You can have two at once if you use one for content and one for iCloud.

  • HT204053 I am looking at purchasing an iphone and we have a ipad and ipod at home all under the same apple id. I would like my daughter to have a seperate id then myself for signing in for itunes, etc...what do I need to do to make this happen.

    I am looking at purchasing an iphone and have an my daughter has an ipad at home and I want to have seperate apple ids when we use them and download and such.. What do I need to do?

    If you want her to have a new iTunes account then there are instructions on this page for how to create one : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    Or if you don't want to give credit card details then follow the instructions on this page when creating the account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    You can then use that account on the phone (Settings > iTunes & App Store for the stores, Settings > iCloud etc)
    All of your downloads from your existing account will remain tied to that account. If you want to use the same computer for syncing then you can do do, you can have more than one account authorised on a computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer menu option), but only one account can be logged in for purchasing/downloading. But if you use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownload an account's past purchases then you may tie that computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - so you won't be able to do any of those three things on a different account until the 90 days have completed (it shouldn't affect being able to make new purchases)

  • 2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

  • HT204053 I cannot use the password to update apps on my second IPhone.  It only works on one of the phones. They both have the same Apple ID and password.

    I cannot use the password to update apps on my second IPhone.  It only works on one of the phones. They both have the same Apple ID and password.

    If it really does not work, change your password here https://appleid.apple.com (Manage account) and try to add the account again. I hope it helps.

I plugged in my wife's iPad.  Both ipads have the same apple id and password. iTunes synced everything from my iPad to my wife's iPad. Now we have two identical iPads looking like mine. Everything on her ipad seems gone and replaced with mine, all her recent holiday photos, emails, settings, etc etc seem gone.

  • Because me and my parents have the same apple id, my new phone synced all of their songs on to my iPhone. I tried to delete them or transfer them off my phone to iTunes but it wouldn't work. What do I do?

  • I have 2 iPads, they both have the same apple I'd and password. Can I change the I'd and password on one so they will operate separately. Right now when my husband adds a game etc. it goes on mine too. Also the information in pages that I put in shows up

    CAn I change the apple I'd and password on one of my two iPads and will they both operate separately. Right now when my husband adds a game it also is added to the other one and when I add recipes in pages, they go into the other I pad too.  When I purchased the new iPad I was told I had to have the same apple Id as the first one, I would like them to be separate, is this possible?

    You need to create a new Apple ID to use with the other iPad, then sign out in Settings>iCloud and sign in with the new ID. Of course any data such as contacts and calendars which have been synced from the first iPad will be removed from the second one when you do this.

  • I have recently bought a second I phone4 and have the same apple ID on both of them, strangely I noticed the messages sent from one phone appearing the other one along with any pictures I sent from one of my Iphones. Is it possible to see the same msgs.

    You need to setup different Receive At addresses for iMessage.
    If you don't want the same pics on each, turn off PhotoStream.

  • How do I set up the app FindMyiPhone on more than one phone when all phones have the same Apple ID?

    I have two iPhones and I want to set up FindMyiPhone on both phones but we both have the same apple acct.  I want to be able to track my teenage son's whereabouts and this would be a good way.  When I log into iCloud, only my iPhone shows up.  His used to but after I did a weekly restart on my iPhone I lost his.  Before, mine wasn't showing up, only his.  Now mine show's up but his doesn't.

    You could look at using a template.  Create your master template, create editable and non-editable regions, then use this template create all the child pages.  When you need to make a change to the menu, make it in the template and the changes will flow down to all the pages created from the template.
    Using DW Templates:

    The other option would be to create the Navigation item as a server side include...

    Difference between using a template and server side includes.
    When you make a change to a template, you need to re-upload all the pages created from the template.
    Using a SSI, you make the change in the ssi file,  upload it and all pages are automatically updated.

  • HT204053 Me & my wife have the same apple ID for our devices , how can we separate them

    Me and my wife have share the same apple ID , now we want to separate them with different IDs , how can we do so , and can we keep the purchases we made on the app store , or if i changed the ID i will not be able to keep my purchases

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
    To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
    Your solution would be to use different accounts for iCloud and the same account for iTunes.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account") then create a new one using the "create Apple ID" button.

  • I downloaded digital hd copies of movies onto my parents' computer and they have a new computer now, and the movies aren't there, even though they have the same apple ID. What do I do to get them to download?

    I downloaded digital hd copies of movies onto my parents' computer and they have a new computer now, and the movies aren't there, even though they have the same apple ID. What do I do to get them to download?
    New computer: Dell, Windows 8.1
    Processor: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
    64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
    16 GB RAM
    itunes up-to-date
    Old computer: Dell, Microsoft Windows XP
    Processor: Intel Pentium D CPU @ 2.80GHz
    1 GB RAM
    itunes not up-to-date (updating it isn't really an option)
    I have these movies downloaded on the old computer from digital hd redeemed codes: Fantastic Mr. Fox, Super 98, Thor, Inception, The Hunger Games, and Star Trek Into Darkness. I bought Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl on itunes with money, and that one isn't showing up either. When I search it on itunes to see if I can just re-download it, that isn't an option. I would have to buy it again. Home Sharing isn't what I want because the old computer will not be here forever and it is not connected to wifi.
    It's kind of a lot of movies, and I want them on the new computer.

  • When my husband set up his new iPhone I read a message wrong when it popped up on my phone and now our messaging is synced. Is it because we have the same apple ID? Do we need to change that?

    Yes, its best to have each individual apple ids. You can also go to settings, messages, send and recieve, start new conversation from, make sure there is a check mark beside each of your own individual email, not the same one on each phone.

    thanks.  your answer was correct, clearer.  I have another question, maybe you can answer.  I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago.  yesterday, there was a sound.  today there is no sound.  there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music.  but no sound on all apps and keyboards.  I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem.  I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that.  I tried rebooting it and still won't work.  Should I just restore it?
