How do I set up two phones with the same Icloud account

I have 2 Iphones for my daughters and want to use the same Itunes account and Icloud account but when I set it up on the 2nd phone it uploaded the other phones contacts and the new phone is receiving the 1st phones text message.  do you have to set up a separate Icloud account to prevent this from happening?

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

  • Two phones with the same icloud how to use storage only one the one

    My daughter has a Iphone 4, I have a Iphone 5. Because she is to young to have a credit card that allows her to shop online, she uses mine to buy apps. The phone stands in my name and we share the same Iclud. She needs more storage on her phone, so I said yes for her to buy more storage on her phone. But it seems that the storage has been benefitted my phone instead. How can I switch the storage over on her phone?

    Hi kristgjo,
    If the phones share one iCloud account, then the storage upgrade applies to both devices. For example, I have an iPad and an iPhone that I back up to iCloud. Both use the same account, and both use the same iCloud storage.
    If you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, you will see both of your devices, and the amount of iCloud storage that they are using displayed. If you click on either of the devices, you will be able to see the size of the backup and the specific items that are being backed up and how large they are.
    Cheers,

    Do you mean iTunes library?
    iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
    iTunes library is what is on your computer.
    It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
    No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
    Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

    You got it with that same apple id thing. You can use different apple id's, but then they will not sync. Apple does allow as many free apple id's as you want, but they are in the business to make money.

    All that does is delete the iCloud account on your phone, nothing more.

  • I recently changed my password for my Apple ID and now I can't receive calls on my iPad or Mac.  All devices are signed on with the same iCloud account.  Anyone have the same issue?

    Hello!
    On all of these devices, go to: Settings > iCloud and make sure they're updated with the new password. If you're talking about Macs, go to: "System Preferences > iCloud" too.

  • How to use family sharing when already sharing the same iCloud account

    My wife and I started separate iTunes account many years ago, and thus made many purchases on each account.  Some time later we started using iCloud, and when we did, we decided we wanted to share the same iCloud account so my wife, for example, could add entries in the Notes app and I'd be able to see them, and vise versa.  In addition, we have another iPhone for our daughter, and with that she has her own iCloud account in use on her phone, however, she is signed into my iTunes account on her phone (so her/my purchases were on the same iTunes account, namely mine).
    Now, years later, Family Sharing came along and I'm trying to figure out how I can also make that work with the iTunes and iCloud setup we currently have.  My hope, with the Family Sharing feature, is that my wife's purchases (on her iTunes account) and my purchases on my iTunes account would be able to be shared.  That said, how should I go about setting up Family Sharing such

    sounds like you only need to share with the other account that your daughter used.  the same id in icloud on wifes devie is fine.  this article will help. Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing - Apple Support Peace, Clyde

  • What happens when 2 phones have the same icloud account?

    Can this effect wipe out or over write a backup? I backed up my phone before downloading os6.1.2.
    When I tried restoring I got my sons contacts and I don't see my backup. I can't believe it's total gone.
    Thanks

    If 2 (or more) devices share the same iCloud account then they will have the same iCloud content. That's the whole purpose of iCloud - to keep multiple devices in sync with the same contacts, calendars, bookmarks, notes etc.
    If you want to maintain separate data, then you need to maintain separate iCloud accounts.
    Do you not backup your phone and data to your computer?

  • How can my wife and I both use the same iCloud account for our respective iPhones so we can share information and music?

  • Can I have two phones with the same contacts?

    I'm going to be travelling back and forth between Canada and the US and I'm getting a second Iphone that will have a US #. Is it possible to have transfer my contacts from my existing iphone and my new US cell phone. The phone is or will be unlocked so I can buy a pay as you go with any provider but I would like to have all of my same contacts on both phones. It would be a big time saver to have both phones set up more or less the same way.
    Thank you,
    Yves

    Yes.  Just use iCloud.  Sign in with your Apple ID, and turn on contacts.  They will be kept in sync on both devices.

  • How to photo stream on 2 iPads with the same iCloud id

    We have 2 icloud accounts. We want to use one of the accounts to photo stream from one ipad to another. Both Ipads are running ios7.04. I added the other icloud account to my Ipad but it does not give me a sign in option it defaults to my account. Do I need to delete my account? Or am I doing something wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If we means 2, then you are best keeping seperate accounts. What you need to do is share photo stream albums with the other.
