How can i use 2 different apple ids for imessage and facetime on 1 ipad?

Do you mean can you use one Apple ID for FaceTime and one for iMessage? You should be able to. Or, do you mean, can you log into iMessage (or FaceTime) with two Apple IDs at once? No.

How can I change my phone number for iMessages and FaceTime?

When I am using my iPad for iMessages and FaceTime, it displays a different cell number than my own. How can I change this number to my cell phone? When I log using my Apple ID, it shows the other number and will not let you change it. Is there a way to change it?

I found the answer. You can do this by:
For iMessage-
Settings>Message>Send & Receive>Log into your Apple account
For FaceTime-
Settings>FaceTime>Log into your Apple account
Once in, you can select the phone number you want to use. After completing this task, you can then go to Settings on your iPad and select iMessage and FaceTime. Preform the same steps as above and the phone number will be changed.

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

"Method Three
Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app?

ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app file not overwrite the previous one at itunes?

In my opinion it is best to use one Apple ID on your computer and iPad. Using multiple IDs causes confusion.
I also suggest that each person with their own iOS device have their own unique Apple ID. On the computer create different accounts for each user so that iTunes on each account can be associated with the correct Apple ID.

HT204053 Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services from two different devices - iPhone and iPad?

Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services simultaneously on two different devices - iPhone and iPad? It seems those are competing to each other, and the services work on one of them only (iPhone).

Many thanks, Sir! Both are mine and it's good to know that imessage can work on both with the same Apple ID. Will now have to find out why imessage stopped working on iPad when it started on iPhone (new). After exploring the forum I understand that there may be plenty of reasons why imessage does not work, even though it worked previously on the same device with the same ID.

Different Apple IDs for iTunes and iCloud

As a legacy from MobileMe, I have one Apple ID for iTunes (around 10 years old) that has all of my purchases, and another for iCloud (created later as a requirement of MobileMe) that has all the email, syncing, etc. Apparently now I can't use Family Sharing because I am signed into iTunes and iCloud with different Apple IDs.
This has caused other issues as well for years, and I would like to once and for all have one Apple ID for both iTunes and iCloud. What will happen if I start signing into iCloud with my original iTunes Apple ID? I'm assuming I will lose the following:
-- Any email in the cloud
-- All calendar info
-- All notes
Am I correct?
Anything else I would lose?
Any way to avoid losing all this?
Is there a better way to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance for any help or insight.

HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID for iMessage/Facetime that is not the same as my iCloud ID?

I have one Apple ID for iCloud that is used on multiple devices. Each user has their own Apple ID for Store purchases. Can I use my Apple ID that is NOT my iCloud ID as a way to get my iMessages/FaceTime on multiple devices?

To clarify, we share an iPad (original iOS 5.1.1).
When I use it, I would like to use my individual AppleID that I use for store purchases so I get MY iMessages on both my phone and the iPad.
It seems to work when I use the iCloud Apple ID (meaning iMessages come through on both units) but when I try to set them both up using my store Apple ID, it doesn't work.
Help?!?!

I can't use my phone number for iMessage or FaceTime

I logged into my IPhone with a new Apple ID and then when I tried to select my phone number to use with iMessage and FaceTime yet it is faded out therefore I can not select it to use my with new Apple ID and can only use my email instead. This is very annoying as I have many friends with iPhones so it is a lot easier an more convenient to use iMessage or FaceTime through phone numbers not just emails.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Hi HollieHJR,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If your phone number has a checkmark next to it, even though it is grayed out, it is set up the way it is supposed to be. Please refer to the attached article for more information.

Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime not working and giving repeating popups

So I have recently found my lost iPad after about a year and when I turn it on, it's giving me never ending popups for my iMessage and FaceTime apple ID, which says is incorrect. i now have an iPhone 5c whose email I switched because my old one (aka the one my iPad is set up to) got disabled. On my phone, my iTunes/App Store and iMessage/FaceTime Apple ID is my new email but my iCloud is still the same. I decided to reset my Apple ID through my iCloud though I typed in my new email since I thought it'd change it. Now, my iMessage is messed up where I can't text my friends in other countries (though I can with my friends in the same country though it's not as an SMS), my iMessage won't activate, I'm not sure if my friend can even see the messages, and I don't know what to do.
If it helps any, I deleted my iPad from my iCloud for backup storage space. Also, I don't know if I'm posting this in the right area as I'm mainly talking about my iPhone 5c but it also has to do with my iPad mini
Also, I just tried signing into my old Apple ID in iCloud on my phone with my new password and it worked and my old one didnt

Set up Facetime with your new Apple ID: tap Settings > Facetime > Apple ID > Sign out. Later log in with your latest Apple ID.
Set up iMessage with new Apple ID: tap Settings >Messages > Send & Receive > tap the Apple ID to sign out > later, sign in with your new Apple ID.

How can I associate my Phone number to iMessage and FaceTime function?

Hi,
I need help to resolve a problem that a have in my iphone (iphone 5 with IOS 6.1).
I have the iMessage and Facetime associate to my ID apple email. However a would like to associade to my phone number but I dont have da number listed in iMessage.
I've tried to enter the phone number manually on the email field in iMessage but it gives a error.
Can anyone help me?
Best Regards

I have this issue too. To elaborate when I go in to facetime/imessage settings and go to the section "YOU CAN BE REACHED BY FACETIME AT" it only provides email addresses. My mobile number is there but its grayed out and cant be selected. People have told me when they try to facetime me now they get a message saying I'm unavailable for facetime. I'm assuming these are people still on ios 6 that are still able to call my number which evidently doesnt work anymore??
Same applies to imessage. Texts are sent from my email address now. I dont want this! I might want to text someone and not have them know my email address. I hope this is a bug or something. Anyone know?

Can I use two Apple IDs for my purchases

Say spouses have separate AppleID's for purchases, can they both be used on a single user account Mac with iTunes?
Will iTunes handle two distinct accounts?
I assume it's not an issue for two iPhones as they're separate.
I guess the only other option would be one AppleID for Apps and purchases and separate AppleIDs for iCloud synching?
Again, wondering if a Mac or even an iPhone can accomodate purchases made under two separate AppleID's?
