Do I have to set up unique apple id's with emails for each iPod

My kids each got iPod touchs for Xmas. I got them set up but with my apple id. When they text the others messages
Show up on the others iPod. They are only 6 and 9 and don't need email yet. Can I create them unique id's and link them to my email?

But if I leave the id set up as the same one but with different emails won't it all still go through the same apple id and therefore still show up with the same information on both ipods? 
When I send a txt to my phone from ipod 1 it shows as their dads id, then if I go into the ipod 2 txt msg it shows the conversation.

    If you have an old ID in Settings>iCloud as a result of updating to iOS 7, to change it you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change (you should need to verify the old account).  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT5621 Hi, we have three iPhones and iPods which are currently linked to one apple ID.  I have now set up an apple id for each phone/iPod.  How do I go about re-directing the two accounts to the relevant one that has now been set up please?

    On each of the phones you're gonna use a new Apple ID for iCloud: turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

  • I have just set up my Apple TV, how do I set it to show my screen on my TV

    I have just set up my Apple TV, how do I set it to show my screen on my TV

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).

    We have three iPhones but one Apple ID because I pay for the acct whenever we buy Apps or music.  However, it's frustrating that when we share iCloud it merges our notes and contacts even if we say "DO NOT MERGE."  I've also lost my notes but could not recover them even if I did a restore.

    You can share the same iTunes ID on all your devices and still have different iCloud accounts with different IDs on them.  The ID you use for iTunes does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.
    If you want to migrate your devices to separate accounts, on the devices that will be moving save any photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.  Also email any synced notes to yourself so you can recreate them in the new account.  Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud, go to the iWork app settings and turn off iCloud syncing.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Once the phones are all on separate accounts you can  then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account.

  • HT2534 When I try to set up an Apple ID, it's asking for a credit card, and there is no "None" option, like this page suggests. How can I bypass this? This iPad is for a younger child who has no credit card, and will not need to make any purchases.

    You can create an iTune and App Store account without credit card details
    1. Sign out of current Apple ID if you are sign-in to one (important)
    2. Go to App Store and select a free app
    3. Tap INSTALL APP
    4. Create New Apple ID
    5. Confirm Your Country
    6. Agree with Terms and Conditions
    7. Fill in your Apple ID and Password (you must create a new Apple ID; don't use your old Apple ID)
    8. Create and answer your secret question
    9. Select NONE for Payment Method
    10. Fill in Billing Address
    11. Submit application for new Apple ID
    12. Wait for verification email

  • TS4357 The song I downloaded cuts off about 3 seconds before the ending, I have tried re-downloding per apple support directions with the same results. What further actions may I take to fix this issue?

    The song I downloaded (Slayer, Criminally Isane) cuts off about 3 seconds before the ending, I have tried re-downloding per apple support directions with the same results. What further actions may I take to fix this issue?

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Does the iPad mini have a setting so it can be used with either 120 or 240 electrical current? If yes, how do you go about setting the desired input voltage? I will travel to Northern Europe and want to know if I will need a voltage converter.

    The iPad charger is dual voltage. You need only a plug adapter to be able to plug your US charger into a European wall outlet. A basic one costs about $2.00. - $6.00. Like this...

  • How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?

    How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
    We are two people using three difrent Macs, 1 Iphone and 1 Ipad with separate USERS  on each Mac but sharing the same Apple ID: xxxxxx
    I set up the first user to iCloud and it was OK but when I set up the second user to use iCoud the first users's info gets mixed with the second user's info?
    Do we have to set up a diffrent Apple ID for each other?
    Sometime ago I added my friends E mail (yyyyy) to the main Apple ID (xxxx) as for using his E mail account (to separate our e mail accounts, and it's working ok) but now when I try to create a new apple ID whith the same friend's e mail (yyyyyy)  it says that his mail (yyyyy) is already an apple ID when the Apple ID is really my E mail (xxxxx)... any clue?
    Thanks

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

    Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
    Hope that helps

  • Using Item UIDRef, can we get data as set in "text on path option" dailog box for each "text on path" item

    Hi all,
    I have a Item UIDRef but facing a problem for getting data as set in "text on path option" dailog box for each "text on path" item.
    What I did:
    - Getting the  pointer "IMainItemTOPData" using item UIDRef as
      InterfacePtr<IMainItemTOPData> mainItemTOPData(shapesUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());
    - This interface has the method GetTOPOptionData () which return ITOPOptionsData pointer
    - But SDK don't have "ITOPOptionsData" class implementation.
    Second Approch:
    - Used "ITextOnPathSelectionSuite" and getting the correct result for Desktop plugin.But I want the correct result in server plugin also.
    Anyone who has an idea how to get this using UIDRef, please let me know.
    Regards,
    Jitendra Kumar Singh

    Hi Pulse,
    Unfortunately, Flex doesn't currently support text on a path. However, I binged it and found this:

  • My time capsule was working and then I added another Macbook pro. TC stopped appearing in Airport Utilities. I have tried resetting TC, I have turned if off and held reset button with pen for 10 secs. I just cannot work out what else to do?

    My time capsule was working and then I added another Macbook pro. TC stopped appearing in Airport Utilities. I have tried resetting TC, I have turned if off and held reset button with pen for >10 secs. I just cannot work out what else to do? I have turned router off and on. Amber light is flashing.

    The ethernet says self assigned IP 169.254.67.6
    Then the ethernet is not getting an IP from the TC.. there is no connection.
    I am not sure where you mean when you say the green LED should be on. Do you mean the TC?
    Thanks
    In order to help troubleshoot ethernet connections all routers use connectivity leds.. even APPLE.. it has one big LED on the front.. and 4 tiny leds beside each ethernet port. That light has to come on for ethernet to be active.. if you plug an ethernet cable into the port and the light doesn't come on.. then there is no connection.. either the other end isn't plugged in.. or the cable is bad.. or the ethernet port is bad.. something is wrong.
    To get access to the TC you need this led to be green.. is it?
    If it is green and the WAN is also green.. then I want you to unplug the WAN connection.. the blue wire in the picture.. the port slightly separated from the 3 LAN port.. computer plugged just into LAN port.. no airport turned on.. and press the reset again for 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. then try and bring up the airport utility again.. assuming the ethernet led is green.
    How old and what model is the TC?
    The A number from the rubber mat will tell us the model.

  • I have an iPhone 3GS and have updated to IOS 6.1.  Before with emails there was a user bar at the bottom which allowed you to move emails to folders, print etc, but it now seems to be removed. Can you help ?

    Close out of the mail app, double click the home button and completely close out of the mail app.
    Then do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    then check your mail again.

  • I have albums in my iMAC with description for each photo that I can show up on slide show so that I know the place that is in the photo. If I synchronize my photos to iPOD, I am unable to get the Descriptions also copied. How do I ensure this?

    I have two questions:
    1) I have multiple logins in my iMAC. How do I move photos/albums from one login to another?
    2) I have created albums with "Description" for each photos, so that, in a slide show, any one can see what is being shown on the photo. When I sync albums to my iPOD, the "Descriptions" are not getting copied. How do I ensure that the "Descriptions" also get copied so that it can be a real back-up?
    Thanks

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto thumbnails - this may take several tries
    Also what version of iPhoto? What recently changed?
