How do I set up iMessage so I can send messages from my iPad to my iPhone using the same apple id

I am trying to set up iMessage so I can send and receive messages on my iphone 5 and my iPad using the same apple id.

I assume that you want to keep the same Apple ID on both devices for downloads and purchases but you just want to know how you can use Messages on both devices without creating a new Apple ID.
On one of the two devices ....Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at>add another email address ... and enter another working email address. After you enter the email address and it is verified by Apple, go to the InBox of that email account, read the email from Apple and follow the instructions to complete the verification. Then go back to the settings and remove your Apple ID email address. You will now use that new email address at the contact at email address for messages on that device.
You can keep your Apple ID email address and use that one on the other device.

    will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

    It will. If the two phones are used by two different people, however, you will need to implement some careful management of your iMessage settings to ensure that you don't each receive each-other's messages. It is a much safer option to use different Apple IDs for each individual.
    On iOS devices, you are able to use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and Facetime, iCloud, and the iTunes and App Stores.

    how do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

    Sync them both to the same iTunes music library.  You can also automatically download purchased music to both by going to Settings>iTunes & App Stores and turning Music to On under Automatic Downloads.  If you music is in multiple computers, you can enable Home sharing to share your music library across multiple devices (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

  • I have 2 iphones using the same apple ID, how do I upgrade without both phones syncing the same data?

    Hi, as it says above, my wife and I have an iphone each with different content on each. How do I upgrade the IOS on my wife's phone without syncing all the content on my phone?
    Do I need a separate apple ID for my phone? If so, how do I set this up without losing all the data and content?

    I am having the same issue.
    There is no possible way Apple didn't think this the whole way thru!
    Why in the world would I want to create an new Apple ID for everyone in my family & over complicate things?!?  "Face Time" and "Messages" can tie several devices to on Apple ID driven by contact email or phone number.  I am hard pressed to believe that Find my Friends can't be set up in a similar format.
    Please help because this is frustrating me to the point of smashing an iPhone or 2!!

  • How can i sync my iPhoto Library to 2 macs using the same Apple ID?

    Hi,
    I have 2 mac book pros (1 in the office and 1 at home) and I have all my photos saved on my office mac iPhoto Library. Is there a way I can sync both iPhoto Libraries? I will be using 1 Apple ID or account for both macs.
    Thanks

    What do you mean by "Sync".
    The general term means when two Libraries (A and B) are compared and files in Library A are copied to Library B, while files in Library B are also copied to Library A so that both Libraries are identical.
    This is bi-directional copying and you cannot do this automatically with iPhoto. No Syncing software is capable of parsing the iPhoto Library in this manner. One or both of your Libraries will be damaged if you try this.
    You can have uni-directional copying - files in Library A are copied to Library B - this is essentially backing up. Obviously you can also copy from Library B to Library A. So, if all your Photos are on Machine A then just back it up to machine B.
    The nearest you can get to syncing is to use iPhoto Library Manager to move files/Albums/Events plus associated metadata between Libraries. This process cannot be automated.

  • How can I restore Photos from another iPad? But they have the same Apple ID and were not backed up in a computer?

    We, I mean my mom and I were trying to restore important pictures from our sold iPad and put them in the new one. They were not backed up inside her email address and she keeps on bugging me right now to look for them. Please help us

    Are the photos in the Camera Roll album in the Photos app?
    If so you can connect the iPad to a computer and copy the photos to the computer. After they are on the computer you can sync them to the new iPad.

  • Please can someone tell me how to set up FaceTime between 3 devices all using the same apple ID ( 2 iPads and a iPhone)????, Please can someone tell me how to set up FaceTime between 3 devices all using the same apple ID ( 2 iPads and a iPhone)????

    I am trying to set up FaceTime on all my apple devices so I can FaceTime each device but all 3 devices are using the same apple Id and I have no idea how to sort this???

    Facetime only works with two devices at a time. You can have the same Apple ID, but the two devices can't have the same email address. Get a new gmail account. Normally you use wifi for connection, however, with iOS 6 and an iPad 3 you can use cellular.

  • How do I use the same Apple ID on two or more devices?

    I try to set up an Apple ID on my iPad but I already have one set up for my iPhone which is associated with my email. It makes me use a different email address which I don't want to do

    You certainly can use the same ID for multiple devices. In fact, if you do then you can share the apps and content between devices. I have an iPad and iPod and use the same Apple ID for them both.
    If I were using different ID's for each  device then I'd need to buy two copies of some apps, which would just be no fun at all.

  • HT204053 how do i set up mail on more than 1 iphone with the same apple id

  • HT204053 Hi, my husband has downloaded ios7 and now he is receiving my iMessages/facetime calls.  Obviously we both use the same apple Id.  How do i keep using the same apple id on both devices, but disable my iMessages etc from his phone??

    My husband has upgraded ios7.  His iphone and mine have the same apple id.  he has activated "icloud" which i have never activated before.  He is receiving my imessages and facetime calls. How do i disable this yet still continue using our shared apple id on both devices????
    thanks

    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

  • HT1904 my husband an I both have IPods we use the same apple ID for iTunes I would like for him to have his own. I set it up but his purchases is still going under my account. How do I get it to go under his account?

    My husband and I use the same itunes account and ID. I set up a new account in his name with a new ID but his purchases still come under my account. On his ipod I still see my username not his. How can I change it?

    You shouldn't be using the same account on phone iphones. Have him setup his own and make sure his iCloud is logged in with that one

  • HT5538 How do you separate multiple iOS devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

    How do you separate multiiple ios devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

    The only way I have seen is to have each device use a if fervent email account, if they all are on the same email the FaceTime connection is either to a phone number or to an email address.  If they ar all on the same email, it is up to the user to decide which to use.

  • TS4268 I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

    I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

    As long as you're logged into the same AppleID on both devices, this is not a problem.  It's only a problem if you're logged into a different AppleID and then try to associate FaceTime with an email that tied to the other AppleID.

  • HT4314 Can I have more than one Game Center account on the same Apple ID? If so, how do I set it up?

    I am playing Clash of Clans on my iphone and on my iPad. I would like to connect each of my games to a different Game Center ID so I don't lose them if something happens to my device, but I can't figure out how to do that without creating new Apple IDs for each device and I don't want to do that. Any advice? Can I have more than one Game Center account under the same Apple ID? If so, how do I set it up? Thanks!

    If you use the same account see the following to separate Messages and FaceTime between the two iPod see:
