Help with multiple iPhones and Apple ID!

I have my iPhone 5S and my iPad Mini hooked up to my Apple ID. I recently gave my friend my old iPhone 4 for his birthday and it is also using my Apple ID. Whenever he changes/deletes the contacts in his phone, it changes mine. Is there any way to stop this but still allowing him to keep using my Apple ID?

No, not unless one of you stops syncing contacts with iCloud.  When you share an iCloud account, all devices see the same data and any actions taken on one device is mirrored on all the others.

  • Need help with multiple devices and apple id

    Between my husband and myself, we have two Iphones, two Ipads, and one Imac.  I back all of them up on my Imac using ONE iTunes account....we prefer not use Icloud, and I think that helps keep the information on each device relatively separate from each other...no overlaps with contacts and calendars.  We have one APPLE id and password, that we use for Itunes and the App Store.   We just got the Iphone 6 for my husband, and it keeps asking him to enter his Icloud PW.(his recognized user name is his PRIMARY email address)...which presumably he does not have, nor does he need (or maybe he does I need some real guidance on that).  To keep this from making him crazy can I just delete his Icloud account, which again presumably, was created automatically with the new Iphone 6 set up??
    Similarly, I need to use FIND my Phone (etc), and HIS devices are not in MY listed devices....is this because he NEEDS his own APPLE ID, or is there a way to add his devices to my list of devices within the APP....I thought because we share the Itunes account they should all be in MY devices.
    Can someone help me make sense of this?
    THANKS!!

    Hello melissaben6250,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are not seeing your husbands new iPhone 6 in your Find My iPhone app. First, while you may "prefer not use iCloud", you are using it, at least in regards to Find My iPhone for your existing devices.
    Now, for your husband's phone and Find My iPhone. It sounds like during the setup of his phone, he logged in to his Apple ID and even possibly created another iCloud account. In order to see his phone on your existing Find My iPhone, it will have to log in to the iCloud account where the other devices are signed in. Take a look at this article on troubleshooting Find My iPhone, especially the first section on the device not appearing.

  • With multiple iPhones and iPad, how do you keep from downloading data from one device to another? ie, my calander ended up on my daughter's iPad.

    With multiple iPhones and an iPad, how do I keep from downloading info from one device to another? All of my info, example my calendar, ended up on my daughter's iPad.

    Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes when syncing multiple devices with the same iTunes library under the same computer login account.
    If sync calendars with the same calendar is selected under the Info tab for your daughter's iPad sync preferences with iTunes, the same calendar will be synced with her iPad.

  • Can I have one cloud for my family with multiple devices and apple ids?

    I need to know the best way to link multiple devices with different apple ids to the same iCloud to share iTunes and content.

    My iphone 5s = apple id 1
    Husband iphone 4s = apple id 2
    My ipad = apple id 3
    Son #1 ipad mini = apple id 4
    Son #2 ipad mini = apple id 5
    For iCloud.. Not quite, you want the same ID for iCloud on your phone and iPad so you have the same info on each. (so perhaps ID 1 on both.
    But if you want to share your music (assuming lets say its your ID 1 that has the iTunes account), you should all use ID 1 for iTunes.

  • Home Sharing with Multiple PCs and Apple IDs

    My wife and I both have our own computers with our own Itunes, Apple IDs, and Itouches. Since we obviously share a bank account we want to be able to share the music that we by from the Itunes store with each other. If we both want a song there is no reason we should both have to pay for it. I have used my apple id to authorize home sharing, but I am still at a loss about how to have the music shared and such. Can anyone break this down crayola style for me so that I can get this up and working for us?
    Thanks in advance!

    My iphone 5s = apple id 1
    Husband iphone 4s = apple id 2
    My ipad = apple id 3

  • Can someone help? Multiple Iphones and Ipods in the house- download issues!

    Can someone please tell me if you can use one computer for multiple I-product downloads? For example, my daughter has an Ipod and downloads from Itunes on my computer.  I also have an Ipod and Iphone, and want to use my computer to download my photos and upload from I-tunes.  Are we both able to use the same computer? And if not, why not?

    Yes.  Each device is different and is recognized as such.

  • HT204053 icloud backup with multiple devices and apple ids

    Wondering if I have the appropriate set up to ensure all my data, purchases, apps, etc. is properly backed up to my icloud (personal email account)?  Here is my current set up.  PC: itunes - personal email; iPhone: icloud & store purchases - personal email; iPad: icloud-work email and store purchases-personal email.  So will store purchases on my iPad still go to my personal icloud?  (Note I can't change the iPad: icloud log in - iPad owned by work so required setting)
    Also, does icloud copy any data from my PC other than itunes?  Not sure if the set up questions when I icloud on my PC are related to my PC or to the various devices.  For instance, "Mail" is an option - which mail account is this?  
    Any clarification on these questions would be much appreciated!

  • Help with Updating Iphone and Ipod after updating Apple ID

  • How to share one iTunes library with multiple computers AND Apple TV? Help?

    It seems like my dilemma may not be easily solved. Hopefully it isn't as complicated as I think it will be. Here's the situation:
    My wife hates that, in order to see or do anything with the images she takes, I need to have iPhoto open on my computer (Mac Pro), and she then has to connect to it over sharing.
    By the same token, I don't like that she buys iTunes content on her MacBook, which is sometimes a duplicate of content I already have. Now that the App Store is out, that is going to start getting really expensive.
    So instead, I want us to be able to:
    1) Have ONE iTunes library on the network, and ONE iPhoto library. Both of these would be accessible to any computer on the network. When you launch iTunes, you would get all the media that is in that library.
    2) Both be able to access iTunes at the same time to listen to / watch content.
    3) Both be able to purchase iTunes content, and when it it purchased, it updates that single library. If I buy a song, the next time my wife fires up iTunes, that song is there for her to listen to.
    4) Have our two Apple TV units be able to play content from this library.
    So, I know that we need something on the network. I have a Drobo with DroboShare, so that is one option. I also have a spare Mac Pro laying around, along with a copy of OS X Leopard Server.
    I just don't know what route we should take with this. All I want is for us to share a library, to be able to both use that library, for us to be able to sync content from that library to our portable devices, and for our Apple TVs to also see that library.
    Possible?!

    I'm sort of in the same boat. We've got an iMac with separate User Accounts set up and are currently sharing the same iTunes and iPhoto libraries along with streaming them to our Apple TV.
    Right now I'm the only one with an iPod, however she'll be getting one in a couple of weeks.
    We also just picked up a MacBook yesterday and I'd like to be able to sync certain libraries like iTunes and iPhoto so that no content gets duplicated on either the iMac or MacBook and so that we both have access to the current libraries for each program on our iPods and AppleTV.
    I have an external hard drive that I back up the iMac on and I assume I could manually keep things current with that but there's got to be an easier way...that's why these are Macs right?

  • Help needed with multiple computers and Apple TV

    We've just purchased a new Apple TV in our household. We have 2 Mac books.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to sync two individual iTunes libraries to the apple TV. We've got one on but the other just seems to want to 'stream' the other iTunes library only.
    any ideas??

    It isn't.

  • Help with multiple iphones on 1 itunes!

    Hi
    The problem with using multiple javascript frameworks on on page is that each framework modifies how javascript works and this leads to incompatibility problems between the scripts. The simplest way to fix this is only to use one framework, alternatively check the documentation for the frameworks as there is often a snippet of code that one can use to stop the framework from modifying the browsers native javascript interpreter.
    You must include the snippet for each js framework.

  • Help with iTunes, iPhone and a third party app

    First off, I didn't know where to post this, so I am posting it in iTunes because that's where I am having trouble accessing it.
    I just downloaded the new remote app ( http://gizmodo.com/5023715/apple-remote-iphone-app-controls-your-itunes-over-wi+ fi ) and I have a couple of friends who have it so I know it works, but I can't seem to get it working with my phone.
    The screen for the app install is telling me the fllowing:
    To add an iTunes library, open iTunes and select "xx's iPhone" form the devices list.
    To add Apple TV, go to your Apple TV and choose Remotes from the General menu in Settings.
    That's all the steps to seting up my remote, but I managed to mess that up. I did the first step just fine, and selected my iPhone, synced my phone up with the remote, but I cannot find anything about Apple TV. The only "General menu" I can find is in Edit> Preferences> General, but that has nothing about Apple TV. The only thing I can find about Apple TV is in Help> Apple TV Help.
    So am I just missing a simple menu option somewhere? Thanks in advance.

    I did try going minimal security (I believe I read elsewhere WEP 128) still without result. So after much frustration went and bought an Express, Extreme replaced Netgear router. Internet access is good but I have been unable to "extend" with the Express-- I can access other network devices, but not the internet. When I disable the various "extending" options internet works fine (probably should start a new topic on this). Thanks.
