How can I use the same apple id on 2 iphones yet have the owner contact different?

My husband and I both share apps, contacts, calendars, etc and use same apple id...We both own iPhone 5's. When we each set up our iphones, on setting in siri setting and mail, contacts, calendars setting we each put contact for our info... Well the problem is that if I change mine to my info it changes it to his, and same if he changes it to his name on his iphone it changes 'my info' on my iPhone's setting.... so when using siri or mail... we cant identify each phone.... So can we still use same apple id and have separate "my info" settings.....

Short term solution, do this on both devices
Settings > iCloud > Shut off anything you don't want shared
Long term solution (actual solution)
You need seperate Apple IDs for iCloud. iTunes and iCloud are not the same.
Create a new Apple ID > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
On one of the devices go Settings > iCloud > Delete Account > Sign in with the new Apple ID
This will seperate your Contacts, Calendars, Messages etc.
You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes and share apps and music

  • The car gauge app available from the itunes store utilizes an OBDII Bluetooth adapter, but I can't configure the Bluetooth address. How can I use this app I just installed, it has to have the Bluetooth address configured.

    I saw an advertisement in a car magazine for an app that would provide gauge read outs available for download from the app store. So I went to the app store, found the app, downloaded and installed it. I then purchased the Bluetooth OBD hardware adapter required to transmit the data from the car to the phone. The adapter has to be configured for the app to communicate with it. This is an apple approved app. But everything I've read says that apple will not allow iPhone owners to make any adjustments to their Bluetooth addresses. And that iPhone only provides Bluetooth connectivity to basic head sets speakers and audio formats through the car stereos ( but no audio streaming). 
    Bottom line, apple approved app and hardware that can't be configured unless I perform a jailbreak? I don't want to JB the phone but it seems that apple has left me with no other options. I've already invested time and money on this software and hardware. Their must be a legitimate way to use this apple approved software. Does anyone know how to adjust/configure bluetooth settings/addresses?

    Generally, if you have to enter a code for bluetooth, your iPhone will ask you to enter a 4 digit code when pairing.  Check the instructions for the device you are trying to pair with your iPhone.  The instructions should give you the code in the pairing instructions, if a code is required.

  • How can I use my new apple ID on my iphone?

    Just I create a new Apple ID, on the website of apple and when I was trying to use it on my iphone, send my someones messages that this accounted hasn´t used on Itunes, and later send my to the apple store... I tried to changed by Setting but was the same problem.

    Hi kamfong,
    Went to Settings where?
    If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
    1.     Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
    You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
    Cheers,

    Or, go to the App store, sign out of your current account. Try to make a purchase and it will ask you to sign in, or create a new account.
    You can do it through iTunes as well.

  • I have 2 iphones that share the same apple id but do not want them to share contacts and apps, how can I change this

    I have 2 iphones that share the same apple ID I do not want them to share contacts and apps how can I change this?

    You can use separate AppleIDs for iCloud, iMessage and iTunes - you just need to create unique AppleIDs for the iCloud accounts if syncing contacts that way (you will need an email address that is not already registered as an AppleID though to get another AppleID).
    Apps are a different matter in that purchases are tied to the AppleID used to log in to the store to make the purchase.  So you can create another AppleID for iTunes as well and use different ones on the different phones, but any apps you have already purchased with your existing AppleID are permanently tied to that AppleID.
    Really, unless you are sharing apps, content and such, there is no reason to use the same AppleID on each anyway.  So the simplest solution is to create new AppleID(s) for the second device.  If you need an email address to do that, just get a gmail account (or hotmail, yahoo or any other free email account).

  • HT204053 i used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are on both phones how do i fix this.  I dont need his contacts on my phone and the other way also.  Should i create a different icloud account for his phone?

    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)

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    2)
    Create a NEW account for 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.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
    Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

  • I used the same apple id on two iphones

    used the same apple id on two iphones, and one of them i gave away. I signed out and deleted all the data that is connected to me. But the person who has my iphone, can see all imessages i get or send. And my apple id always appears on that phone... And of course when that person sends messages, it shows that it was sent from my email or phone. So is there a solution?

    He has to un-sing of iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime and of course you have to change your Apple ID password!

    You will need to create a new account, and follow the instructions on this page when creating it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 - without following them you will need to give credit card details (I don't think that debit cards are still accepted)

  • TS4002 how can i use a deferent apple id for iCloud on my iPhone?

    how can i use a deferent apple id for iCloud on my iPhone?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you delete the existing account you will get an option to keep the iCloud data on your device.
    Before deleting the account, save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll.
