Do you have to be signed in to the same apple ID that you downloaded a movie to watch it?

We use my husbands apple ID to buy things or rent but I use my ID for apps and to keep us from getting the same messages. If I downloaded a rented movie from his apple ID do I have to be on his apple ID to view it? I ask because I tried to watch my movie on my 9.5 hour flight but it said, "cannot open." Please help soon!

There could be an issue if you had not fully downloaded the movie. There are some odd things that happen with airplane mode, many people can't get movies to work in this mode. Part of the porblem is the elevation of the device, and the time changes, not to mention entire time-zones and location changes due to modern jet travel can cause issues like this to happen.
Of course, when testing on the ground the airplane mode seems to never glitch up
It's a new technology with issues that still need to be worked out (which seems Engineering didn't think ahead of time)

We have multiple devices in our family. On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes. When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
You can only unravel this by
1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

HT4314 I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.

Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)

Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.

Cannot Turn On iPhone Cellular Calls - FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.

Cannot Turn On iPhone Cellular Calls - FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.
I *AM* signed into Facetime and iCloud using the same Apple ID. Why am I receiving this error all of a sudden? I make calls using my Mac and need this feature. I have tried disabling and re-enabling both over a dozen times. TRUST ME, it is NOT user error -- it is Apple releasing features before they are fully ready error!

I'm pretty sure we can clarify whether or not we are on a Public Beta or not, despite NDA........

FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.
This is the error message I receive when I try to add my phone to my Mac for proximity / FaceTime audio calling. This feature worked until I changed my Apple ID. I have updated my Apple ID everywhere I can think of updating it. I've signed out of Apple ID on my Mac, deleted EVERYTHING (calendars, contacts, etc.), signed back in, etc. I've done the same with my phone, and even done a power-down / reboot and nada. I keep getting this message from the Mac.
I can't figure out where else I should look for my old Apple ID to be logged into anything or creating problems. I've gone over my iPhone and Mac and I'm at a loss. As an aside (and yes, wrong forum), have lost the ability to do SMS forwarding since the Mac no longer receives the code from my iPhone to allow this feature to work. This was lost after signing out of the Apple ID on my Mac this afternoon.
Bluetooth is turned on for both devices. Both devices are on the same WiFi network. Both devices otherwise appear to be working correctly with the exception of the problems I'm having with FaceTime and iCloud being signed into the same Apple ID (which they are).
Thanks in advance,

(By the way, I should have pointed out in my earlier posting that I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on my Mac). I Just installed latest Yosemite update while my iPhone was switched off, and when my Mac restarted, the 'iPhone Cellular Calls' checkbox in the FaceTime preferences was checked and the problem was therefore solved. Switched on my iPhone, still fine. Relief.

I have a new iPad with wifi. When I send messages I can see my sons and my husbands but not my phone number. We all have an iPad and all use the same apple ID as iPad the bill. How can I remove their numbers and add mine?

Add another e-mail account to your messages, so people could reach you on that e-mail from messages. As soon as you are online (if you have wifi only iPad) you are able to send and receive messages. i.e. your son can send you a messages from his iPhone addressing it to your (that additional) e-mail address.

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?

HT2204 I have 3 iphones and all use the same apple ID,how do I change this so each phone has its own id,do i restore the phones to factory settings first??as im having problems with contacts being added to and deleted from each phone.

I have 3 Iphone 4S and all have the same apple ID which is causing problems as far as contacts are concerned,when i sync 1 of the phones to my comp the contacts appear on all the phones.How do i create a new ID for each of the phones do I have to reset the phones to factory settings first,any help would be appreciated.:)

Hello marie196,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You do not necessarily need to restore the device to factory settings, but rather sign out of the four services that utilize your Apple ID: iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and iTunes & App Stores. Once signed out, you can sign in with a new Apple ID. For more information, see the following article:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
Additional Information: You may encounter an error regarding a 90-day limit. For information on this, see the following article:

Can I use Facetime between two devices which both are signed in to the same Apple ID?

Can I use Facetime to communicate between two Apple devices which are each signed into the same Apple ID?

What new address?
Perhaps you mean the OP needs to add a new email address for his AppleID and use that email address.
Yes. That's what I meant.
Change the "You can de Reached by Facetime At" for one of them under Settings->Facetime->You can be Reached by Facetimer At.
I probably should have specified "Change the "You can de Reached by Facetime At"(email address) ...
NOW TO CORRECT: Even though I said you could, you can't.
I tried this out just now and you can't facetime a device using the same Apple ID.
So yes, you infact need another Apple ID for this. Not just another email address.
My Bad. sorry. I don't deserve the 10 points.

HT204053 My husband and I both have iPhones but we only have one iPad. We use the same apple ID because we also share the same email address. How would this work with iCloud because we don't share the same contacts? Thanks Elainecontacts

My husband and I both have an iPhone and we share an iPad. We also share the same email address so how would this work with iCloud because we don't share all the same contacts?

An icloud account is designed to be used by one user. That user can have all his/her devices synced with the same Apple data (email, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) . When two people use the same account, then problems usually occur when one user edits data that the other user doesn't want changed on their device. You can continue sharing the same ID for the itunes account in order to share the purchased music, apps, etc. itunes accounts and icloud accounts are different.
It's by far better that each user has his/her own icloud account.

TS1702 I have an iphone and my 2 children have ipods. all 3 on the same apple id. when one of their ipods gets a face time call , all 3 devices ring. i dont want to get these face time calls on my iphone or the other ipod . what is the solution to this

i have an iphone and my 2 children have ipods. all 3 on the same apple id. when one ipod gets a facetime call, all 3 devices ring. how do i prevent all three devices getting the facetime call as it is intended for only one of the ipods?

You can all have independent AppleIDs for iCloud or iMessage etc, but share the same one for iTunes Store / AppStore purchases.

4 people in our family have an iphones or ipod on the same apple id ..so that we can all share the itunes library. however this means that we all get each others imessages. is there a way of sharing itunes library with 4 separate ids?

4 of us in the family with iphonesor ipods share the same apple id so that we can share the itunes library . However , this means we all receive each others imessages, unless we disable imessaging. Is there a way of sharing itunes library (ie.g with 4 separate ids) that avoids the sharing of imessages? .

Thanks, Terence, but if she was inclined to upload things, I wouldn't need access!
Here is an example: we go on vacation, she takes 250 photos, edits twenty of the best shots, and uploads three to facebook. I want to make an album including some of the edited shots and some of the less perfect but still fun shots - so I need all 250 photos - uploading that many photos to a photosharing site takes forever even if she did it - but she won't. I used to just hijack her computer for a day, but I'd like to be able to hijack her iphoto library without stealing her computer...if possible!
Thanks for any help you can offer!

I have 2 Iphone 4s's with the same apple id can I delete 1 without it effecting the other

Hi, Ihave 2 iphone 4s's with the same apple id, can I delete 1 of them without it affecting the other phone?

You should probably tell us exactly what you are trying to accomplish. Carolyn's answer is correct as always, but here's a small clarification:
You could, for example, sync and back up one of the iPhones using iTunes on your computer. Then you might take one of the iPhones and do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
Although that action would cleanse all data off that specific iPhone, the data should remain on your iTunes backup and I believe it would remain on the other iPhone.
There is a difference between specifically deleting apps, messages, etc. on an iPhone versus resetting and cleansing an iPhone.

We have two. IPod touch with the same Apple ID . How can each have a different profile name set up?

My boys would like their own Game Center profile set up but they are both using my Apple ID. They are not yet 13. When I change the name on one ipod it automatically changes on the other. Please help!

They need a unique Apple ID for Game Center. Set one up in your name an supervise its use
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

Do you have to be signed in to the same apple ID that you downloaded a movie to watch it?
