How do I set up IPad 2 and 2-4s IPhones with Apple?

I have a 32 GB IPad 2 and ITunes on my Windows computer and just ordered 2-16 GB 4s IPhones for my wife and myself I have 18.5 GB of data on my IPad, but only want to selectively include some of the applications and music on my IPhones. I have IOS5. Both IPhones will be loaded with appx 10 GB of data, but each will have different applications and music - all which is loaded on my IPad 2 and ITunes on my computer. How do I do this most efficiently?
1. Do I use the same Apple ID# I use now on all devices, or set up a separate one on each device?
2. If I use the same Applie ID# on all devices, should I set up a different ICloud account on each device to keep the backups separate?
3. If I download an album on my IPhone, will either (or both) 1 and 2 allow that album to be downloaded on all of my devices through ICloud?
I was advised that if I have a large music library to make sure the phones aren't set to autosync. Does this sound correct?
I'm trying to get answers to my questions lined up before they I receive them so I know how to best set them up.
Thanks everyone.

1) You can use one id. My wife and I do.
2) Not sure. Sorry. We share one.
3) Yes.
We sync via the cable. We simply select what we want to sync on each device and sync.

The remote app would require home sharing to be enabled and both to be on the same network. If that's not the case then you will need a new remote

How do I set up genius mixes on my iPhone with iTunes match

I have used genius mixes on my phone, but now that I have iTunes match I no longer see the controls for turning on the genius mixes for my phone. How do I do that?

Apparently this currently is not possible. Although the release notes of iOS 5.1 state that Genius Mixes should be available on iPhone and iPad, they simply don't show up. Here another thread concerning this problem: iOS 5.1 - Still No Genius Mixes

How do I set up iPad with airport express to stream music to stereo without internet connection?

how do i set up iPad and airport express to stream music to stereo without using internet connection.

Your 4th gen iPad does have the necessary software to connect to the AirPort Express but not to administer it. To do the later, you would need to install the AirPort Utility applet.
You said that your iPad can "see" the AirPort's wireless network, but can't connect. What happens exactly when you attempt to do so? Do any of your other wireless devices have any trouble connecting to the Express? Did you configure the Express for a closed network ... that is, not to broadcast its Network Name?

Ipad shows all regular Iphone inbound calls as Facetime. I only want true FT calls to appear. I switch audio/video and it still happens. How can I set the Ipad to only register true facetime calls rather than all inbound regular calls? thanks

My Ipad will show all regular inbound calls, from Iphone, as Facetime calls. I would like only TRUE facetime calls to appear. I have switched audio/video on Ipad but it still happens.

Hi webn,
I understand that you do not wish to see phone calls on your iPad anymore. I have an article for you with some information on accomplishing this goal:
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6337
Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone cellular calls on your iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
On your Mac, open the FaceTime app and go to FaceTime > Preferences. Click Settings and deselect the iPhone Cellular Calls option.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

How do I manage 2 Ipads and 2 iphones on one ITunes account.

How do I manage 2 Ipads and 2 iphones on one ITunes account. Each device has a different name. But every time I plug them into iTunes on my Pc all the apps get screwed up. apps disappear etc. I have "sync apps" selected without automatic updates. I'm thinking I should have this unselected, but that does make sense to me. Shouldn't I be able to have one iTunes account and manage each device independently. What settings to do I need to apply to itunes so that every time i plug the devices in they don't get all messed up? thanks in advance
Also, Iphone 4s is possible to rotate pictures without extra hassle of downloading software??

You can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance from your account so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I have a new iPad with wifi. When I send messages I can see my sons and my husbands but not my phone number. We all have an iPad and all use the same apple ID as iPad the bill. How can I remove their numbers and add mine?

Add another e-mail account to your messages, so people could reach you on that e-mail from messages. As soon as you are online (if you have wifi only iPad) you are able to send and receive messages. i.e. your son can send you a messages from his iPhone addressing it to your (that additional) e-mail address.

How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device?

How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device? I can get all the Apps and music from one to the other but why won't the emails I delete off one not delete off the other? Is there anyway where I can make this happen?

As James says, make sure that you are using the IMAP servers for your email. You will need to check the help pages for your email provider to get the correct settings in all your devices. POP really doesn't fit the needs of todays mutiple access, always on internet, so you are better off moving to IMAP.

As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

Hello Tamthom,
It sounds like you would like to sync your phone to your new computer. I would start by using the following article to transer your iTunes and App Store purchases to your computer from your phone.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
Note: If you had content that was not purchased from the iTunes Store you will need to re import the content from its original media, to your iTunes library separately.
Then backup your device to iTunes with this article:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
After your puchases are transferred, and your device is backed up you can Erase and Sync the device, and restore your backup to it, that way moving forward you can sync it like you used to.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

I have a password protected excel spreadsheet, how can I get my iPads and iPhones to read this and save it password protected?

Documents to Go says that it, "Opens password protected Excel 97-2008 files", but does not say whether it can save them as "password protected".
This might work for you.

You cannot get around Activation Lock without the oringinal owner disassociating the iPad from their account.
See the Activation Lock FAQ for what you and they need to know.
