Family Sharing..2 iPhones with 2 different telephone numbers.

I have 2 iPhones with 2 different telephone numbers. What I would like to know is can I invite my second iPhone to my Family Sharing or do I have to have a separate iCloud account with different names to share with it in Family Sharing?

How can I make iMessage work on 2 iPhones with 2 different phone numbers using the same Apple ID?

My work requires me to split time between two countries (Ph and Bn). I had an iPhone 4 with a Ph number and a Nokia for the Bn number. iMessage was running on the iPhone 4 with the Ph number and my apple ID. I recently replaced the Nokia with an iPhone 5 which I set up using the iCloud back up of my iPhone 4. I cant seem to set up iMessage (and Facetime) the way I want it to work on the iPhone 5. Im not sure if iOS 6 would allow me to do this so I'm throwing this out to the forums to check if its possible.
iPhone 4 w/ iOS 6
- uses Ph sim card
- Ph number set in Phone>My Number
- iMessage>Send & Receive has the following data
Ph Number - greyed outand checked
Apple User ID - checked
iPhone 5 w/ iOS 6
- uses Bn sim card
- Bn number set in Phone>My Number
- iMessage>Send & Receive has the following data
Ph number greyed out and not checked
Same Ph number checked
Apple User ID checked
Ive tried turning on/off my iPhone 5 and logging on and off iMessage but I cant seem to get it to update the iMessage phone number to the Bn number. Any idea how I can do this?

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

Can i lock an app on my iPhone with a different password than the one i use to lock my phone?

can i lock an app on my iPhone with a different password than the one i use to lock my phone?

This should work; one of my e-mail accounts is my own domain through Gmail. Make sure your username is set to your full e-mail address (like [email protected]) rather than just your username.
Did you set it up on your iPhone as an IMAP account, or as a Gmail account? It should work perfectly using the Gmail setting. It can work as IMAP, but you need to jump through a few hoops to get there.

Can I sync my iphone with 2 different Itunes Library without erasing data?

Hello,. I would like to know if its possible to sync my iphone with two different Itunes library without data from first itunes library getting deleted when sync with second itunes library, (I mean, at least the music and videos)
Thanks!

iOS devices can only sync with one library at a time. To sync with a new library, you have to remove the current libraries content.
An alternative would be to move content to one computer (using an external drive or homesharing), and then sync with the library you choose.

You can sync as many devices as you like to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep it all straight by device, including separate backups.

You can't merge two iTunes accounts.

All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone.

I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring.

I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring. One phone is for work and one is for private and I don't need both phones to ring from one call. It's bizarre.......is this supposed to be like this? If so where can I turn it off?? And while we are at it iOS8 has installed iBooks on both of my phones and iTunes won't let me uninstall it. I don't need or want iBooks on my phones.

Hi,
There are two easy fixes to this.
One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
Hope this helps!

My iphone 4 is losing telephone numbers at a rate of 2 or 3 a day from contacts. The name and emails remain. Why?

my iphone 4 is losing telephone numbers at a rate of 2 or 3 a day from contacts. The name and emails remain. Why?
It was happening before IOS 8 was launched

Hello there William Malmesbury,
It sounds like your Contacts app seems to be losing your contacts phone numbers, but the rest of the information is fine. If you don't already have a backup, I would create one either with iCloud or iTunes, or even both:
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you use iCloud I would use these steps from the following article:
Get help using iCloud Contacts
See if a contact is stored with iCloud or another service, such as Google or Yahoo:
Open Contacts and tap Groups in the upper-left corner.
Deselect the All [account] option for any third-party, such as Gmail or Yahoo.
Make sure All iCloud is selected.
View your contacts. If the contact isn't visible, then it exists in a third-party account.
You can import the contact from a third-party service into iCloud. iCloud won't sync contacts that are associated with a different service.
You need to make sure that iCloud is your default account for Contacts:
If you want new contacts to appear automatically on your devices.
If you're syncing contacts with multiple accounts on your device (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo) and recent changes to Contacts on your iOS device don't appear on your other devices.
See if iCloud is your default account:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
In the Contacts section, tap Default Account.
Make sure iCloud is selected.
Restart Contacts
Close and restart the Contacts app on your iOS device:
iOS 7:
Double-click the Home button to see your open apps.
Find the Contacts preview screen and swipe it up to close the app.
Press the Home button to return to your Home screen.
Wait a minute, then reopen the Contacts app.
Turn iCloud Contacts off and back on
Tap Settings > iCloud.
Turn Contacts off.
You can choose Delete from My [device] if your data exists at icloud.com/contacts and on one or more of your devices. Otherwise, choose Keep on My [device].
Wait a few minutes, then turn Contacts back on.
Restart your device
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button, then drag the slider when asked to power off. Turn your device back on.
If not, I would start by quitting all the running apps on your phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

IMessage issues on contacts associated with two different mobile numbers

Hello together,
currently i am facing the following issue:
I have a contact "Max Mustermann" associated with to different mobile numbers. Number 1 is a number belonging to his business mobile phone which is an iPhone. Number 2 belongs to his private Android device.
Since I updated to iOS 7.0.2 my iPhones sends every message (new message, answers) to the iPhone, regadless if he sends me a text message from his Android device. During my throubleshooting I tried to delete his business number from contacts, deleted every mail adress associated with his contact, recreate the contact with the same name and just the private number. As for now I completely deleted his contact on my iPhone and tried to send the text message directly to the mobile number of his Android device. But still the same: Message is send as iMessage to his business mobile phone...
Anybody faced this issue before and can me help with his?
Regards,
Tim

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

ITunes sharing among iPhones with different Apple ID's one computer WITHOUT home sharing, shared folder, etc...

I feel like I am losing my mind, here. A few things I want to clear up before you read my question:
No, I am not new to Apple. Yes, I understand that Home Sharing works for any group of devices authrized with my Apple ID. Home Sharing is not my issue.
1. My wife and I have different iPhones with different Apple IDs.
2. We only have one computer, on which iTunes is running under my Apple ID.
3. My iTunes library is far too large to paste into a shared folder. I keep my source folder on a 1TB external hard drive (not enough space on my iMac).
I just want her to be able to plug in and copy music onto her phone from iTunes. Home sharing is great while she's at home on the wifi, but not when she leaves. I created her own user name on my computer, set her iTunes (under her Apple ID) to pull from my library source file, and she can play everything fine, except that she cannot click and drag files onto her phone.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

iTunes Match is associated with one, and only one, iTunes Store Apple ID and country-specific store. The service cannot be shared between Apple IDs.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
If we sign up for iTunes with the one account with the majority of the songs, is Home Sharing no longer available to the other two accounts?
Of course it is. iTunes Match has no affect on Home Sharing.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
A. What happens to the songs on the other two libraries? Can we never use them?
It is possible to consolidate the tracks from the other iTunes libraries into one and use that for iTunes Match. Make sure the one computer that hosts the library is authorized to play any protected content.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
C. If we purchase songs/albums while in iTunes Match, and then decide not to use Match in the future, do we lose all our music?
Of course not. Any purchases go to the purchase history for the Apple ID that bought them and as long as the tracks are downloaded and backedup you'll have them as long as you maintain them. Keep in mind that iTunes Match is a service; you don't do anything "in" iTunes Match. It simply "is" in the background.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
D. If we associate our child's iTouch, will it still keep the parental controls in place so it won't play certain songs that are not appropriate f
Yes, parental controls should continue to work as they have. Although I do not use them, perhaps someone else with experience will weigh in.
