How do I use the same Apple ID from iTunes for iCloud?

Ok, I know this is probably a really stupid question, but I recently (like, 2 weeks ago) got a MacBook Pro after my older MacBook from 07 decided to get a mind of its own and start going on the fritz. Anyway, I had an older OS on my MacBook and therefore did not have iCloud at all. So for the past two weeks I've been trying to set up my iCloud on my new computer (who's name is Schroeder, for those who are wondering) and I've been attempting to use my Apple ID to sign up with for it (my Apple ID is the same as my regular email address). This is what I get when I try to get into my iCloud: "This Apple ID’s email address cannot be verified. Change your Apple ID’s email address at appleid.apple.com to sign in to iCloud." The thing is... my email address/Apple ID has already been verified. I was paranoid and verified it multiple times, too, and I still get the same "This Apple ID’s email address cannot be verified. Change your Apple ID’s email address at appleid.apple.com to sign in to iCloud" message when I try to sign into iCloud. What's going on here? Am I doing something wrong?

- Apps are prementently tied to the account that purchased them and you have to sign into that account to update the apps. If you have apps that need updating from more than one account you need to update them one at a time util the remainig apps were purchased from one account.
- Go to Settings>Store to sign out and sign into anohter account

  • How do I use the same apple id for 2 iPads, but not share email, phone #, etc.?

    I have had 2 iPads for a couple years, both using the same apple id. One is used primarily by my husband. Today I got notifications that my husband's ipad is now using all the same email addresses and phone number associated with mine. How do I change this?

    You can set the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Stores, but have different Apple ID's for Messages, iCloud and Facetime.
    Settings->iCloud->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Facetime->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Just go into Settings, and make sure the Apple ID set for those services is different for both iPads.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • How do I use the same Apple ID on my iPad as my iPhone?

    I can't access the email I used for my Apple ID on my iPad and want to use the Apple ID that I use on my iPhone on my iPad, but don't know how to change it..

    Thanks Rudegar, that worked. Would you happen to know how to do the same with iCloud? It's the same thing - the iCloud account on my iPad isn't in use anymore and wanted to use the same account as my iPhone..

  • How can you use the same Apple ID for music and apps but have a different iCloud

    Collectively in my family we have 1 iPhone 2 ipod(4th gen) and 3 iPad mini's and we like to buy music and apps through the same Apple ID so that we can all share it but we also have a problem about the iCloud.
    My son has one iPod and one iPad and he would like his contacts and messages to be shared between HIS two devices but he would also like all of the pictures taken in the family to be shared
    The same for my daughter and for me.
    Is there a way of selecting which devices share what????
    Thanks a lot
    Acwills

    You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
    Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc.

  • How can I use the same Apple ID account in two different App Stores?

    I am from Greece and I use my Apple-ID account to download iPhone Apps from the Greek App Store. However I live in Germany and some iPhone applications I want are available only through the German App Store. When I try to download one of them I got the message that my acount cannot be used with the German App Store. Is there any way to be able to have on my phone applications form both the German and the Greek App store at the same time using or not the same Apple ID account? I have got both Greek and German credit cards if this is an issue. Thanks.

    If I create a new iTunes account for the German itunes store, what happened with my previous purchases? Do they remain on my iPhone and my Mac's iTunes?
    Nothing will happen to your existing purchases. Your computer will remain authorized - you can authorize a single computer to up to five iTunes Store accounts - and the apps and content will remain in place.
    Can I switch from one acount to the other every time I want to update an application or purchase a new one?
    As long as you're in the relevant country, yes. Again, the terms of use say that you agree not to even attempt to use an iTunes Store from outside of its country.
    Regards.

  • How do we use the same Apple id for Family sharing without syncing podcast?

    We tried to set up family sharing to share apps and music but our podcasts kept updating, syncing and wold get deleted when another member would listen to hem or delete them to make room on their device. Can we share without this podcast issue?

  • How can i synchronize different contacts and different calendars with different iOS devices using the same Apple ID and iTune ID?

    I have the following situation. 1 Apple ID. 1 iTune account. I have 2 ipads and 2 iPhones
    1- I would like to have a set of 1 ipad and 1 iphone (mine) sharing the same contacts and calendar entries (synching from outlook)
    2- I would like to have another set of 1 ipad and 1 iphone (my wife's) sharing contacts and calendar entries but obviously these would be a different set of contacts and calendar entries than mine
    How can I set up my four devices to do this?
    Thanks for your help
    Cheers

    Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

    Apple Airport for wireless when in home.  Did her new i-Pad Apple ID change the one set for the old i-Mac?

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.
