How can I get iCloud to use the same Apple ID on my Mac and iOS devices

I have an Apple ID that syncs between my iPhone and iPad. The Apple ID on my Mac is different and I cannot change it so it uses the same Apple ID and iCloud account.

Sign out of the Apple ID on your Mac and sign in to the one you want to use. Go to System Preferences>iCloud>Sign Out
Then sign in to the Apple ID you use with your iPhone and iPad.

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password

My Apple ID and password works for iTunes and App Store. I'm trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but i keep getting an error message that reads unsupported ID. Apple ID must be in the form of email address (@me.com). I don't have a MobileMe account. How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password?

I've also reset my password to my Apple ID. I still get the Unsupported ID and password.

I used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are together. How do I undo this? Do i create him a different icloud account?

Yes, start with deleting your account on his device:
(Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)
In the next step, create a new account on his device:
(Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)

HT204053 for ipad2 Using the same Apple ID for Store purchases and iCloud (recommended) yes/

hi i am shahram i have ipad2 for ipad 2 using the same apple iD for store purchases and iCloud(recommended) yes or no?

That's what Apple recommend, it's also how I have mine set up. Although it isn't much of a problem to use a different account (ID) for each service.

Yes, under the Settings for the store, you can turn off the auto download for purchases, that way if you purchase an app on another device it will not automatically download on that device. You would need to do this on both your iPad and iPhone.

HT2731 Does using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPod touch use my phones data plan?

Does using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPod touch use my phones data plan?

If you are using the internet then it's eating away at your data plan, irrespective of your Apple ID.
Here's an article about data plans:

I am using the same Apple id for my iPhone and iPad! Does this cause a problem with apps?

I Was told I should use a whole different I'd with my iPad because if I have both my phone and iPad with the same Apple id it will cause conflict with the apps on each of them. Does this happen?

No. I've been using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPad for years without problems. If fact, if both devices are yours and you use both devices having the same Apple ID on each of them is preferable.

How do I separate my daughters devices from my icloud but use the same apple itunes account?

How can I separate my daughters icloud account but keep the same apple itunes account?

To migrate her device to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos she keep to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If she is syncing any notes with iCloud that she wants to keep on her device, you'll need to open each of them and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your devices won't be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload her data. (If she has multiple devices, she can go through this same process on the others, but choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted as the data has now already been migrated to the new account.)
Once you are both on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account if you need to.
You can continue to share the same iTunes ID. The ID used for iCloud does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes.

Can I use the same apple ID on my iphone and ipod touch

I have been successfully using the same apple ID on itunes, my iphone and ipod touch
I upgraded both my ihpone and ipod to iOS5 and now both devices are telling me that my apple ID is already being used when I try to sign in
any ideas? I have always used the same ID so I can have purchased apps on both devices
can I carry on doing this now icloud has been launched? I'm a bit confused!
