You will need to contact the previous owner of the iPhone in order to change the Apple ID.

    I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id

    I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
    also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
    I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update.

  • Hi, I have apple account/password on laptop but can't use the same ID etc on new Ipad.  On my account it says ID is only for 1 system.  I really want only one ID for both Ipad and laptop. Thanks

    It seems that you have used the AppleIDs to "Purchase" your devices, which marries the two for all time and eternity.

  • Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both?

    Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both? Everytime I try to sync my new iPad, it syncs all the apps that are on my account. If I can do this, can someone tell me how please???

    Yes you can, easily.  When you plug the first pad in to sync, note the name of the pad on the last pane.  Set up for that device whatever you want to sync.  When you are done, plug the second pad in.  Make sure it has a different name on the left pane.   Then sync to that pad whatever you want.  I tunes will remember what you did on each pad, and will start from there the next time you plug in.

    Yes, under the Settings for the store, you can turn off the auto download for purchases, that way if you purchase an app on another device it will not automatically download on that device.  You would need to do this on both your iPad and iPhone.

  • 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 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..

  • Using the same apple ID on multiple iPads

    I have to set up about 13 iPads and that involves downloading an app and installing some files on it. To do this can I just create one apple ID and use it on all 13 iPads or do I have to create a new one for each iPad?

    Not that I know of. If you purchase an app, you can download it to an unlimited number of iDevices. That is true - with the only caveat being that you MUST use the same Apple ID and iTunes account each time you download it.
    So you will have no problem downloading the app to the 13 iPads with your account. However, that purchase is ALWAYS tied to your Apple ID and iTunes account. It can't be transferred to another user or to another iTunes account.
    The app will be usable on the 13 iPads but if the app needs to be updated, the users of those 13 iPads will have to sign in with your ID to update the app. This can be done directly on the iPad, but you probably don't want to give your ID and password out to those 13 individuals and you won't want to have to update each of their iPads every time by signing in with your ID and then have to sign out again.
    On top of that, if the 13 users will want to sync to their own computers that contain their own iTunes libraries, that app will not sync - it will be erased if not mistaken - if they as they will be signed in with their own accounts.
    If I may ask, what app and what are you trying to accomplish by doing this - what is the bigger picture so to speak?

  • How do you install the same Apple ID on two ipads

    I have an original ipad and just purchased an ipad air.  I want to use the same Apple ID and it won't let me.  Is there a way to do this?

    That is the problem, you don't want to create a new Apple ID. You want to sign in with the Apple ID. When you activate the iPad you are given the option to sign into your ID or create a new one. You selected the wrong option. Try going back a screen or two to get the sign in option again.
    You can always skip the sign in and wait until the device is activated then sign in  -  settings>iTunes and App Store>Apple ID.

  • Using the same iTunes account, can two iPads use different phone nubers for Factime?

    Using the same iTunes account and two different iPads, is it possible to associate each iPad to a different phone number?

    They must be iPhone numbers and only if you have two iPhones that are associated with the same Apple ID. If you don't have two iPhone numbers, you can use another email address one one of the iPads in order to use FaceTime and Messages on both devices that are both using the same Apple ID.
    Assigning a new email address to one of the devices.

  • Can I use the same sim card from my iPad 1 and use it in my new iPad 3 4G?

    I have been having difficulty getting a straight answer please someone help me. I have an unlimited plan on my old sim that cannot be transferred I'm really hoping I can use the same one

    From what I understand the AE cards from the last model PM G5s will go into a MP although I would not suggest you do this as it's not as if you're going to save a stack of money over it. It's not going to support 802.11n connection formats and may not have the correct electrical requirements so may damage your MP.
    For instructions, try searching Google.

  • HT204053 My wife and me are using the same apple id on our ipads, can we have separate icloud accounts?

    I want to know if you can have a separate icloud account on your ipad, the account is in my wife's apple id, i want a separate icloud account on my ipad.

    If you are talking about Game Center, she can migrate to a different iCloud account and keep her Game Center ID the same (it doesn't need to be the same as her iCloud ID.
    To migrate her iPad to a separate iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to her camera roll (unless already there) by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select (Edit in iOS 6), tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow (Share in iOS 6), then tap Save to Camera Roll.  If she is syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; this won't effect your iPad), choose Keep on My iPad and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7).  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload her data to the new account.
    Once she is on a separate account, you can each go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from your account.
    To avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls, make sure you are not sharing the same Apple ID for these services.  If you are, on her iPad go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID (such as her new iCloud ID).
