How do my husband and I receive the same messages on separate phones

I have a iPhone 5s and my husband 4s. How can he receive all of the text messages I get to my phone?

You cannot recieve SMS/MMS on both phones. SMS/MMS are sent to the cell phone number.
iMessages only can be received on both iPhones.

How do my husband and I use the same itunes acct

People tell me all the time that their whole family has the same iTunes account so they can share everything. How do they do that? I tried to do mine on my husands phone and it said that the account was already in use so he set up his own. How do we share apps? If he pays for one I dont want to pay for the same one.

My husband and i use the same apple id on our iphones and ipods, now we are having trouble how do we separate them?

My husband and I use the same apple id and itunes accounts for each of our phones. His is an Iphone 4 and mine is an 4s. After this last update we are having trouble with his texting.
How do we go about separating our account into two accounts with the same apps and itunes.

You would need to create a new Apple ID and re-download and/or repurchase any apps.
However, if it's just a matter of texting, you can go to Settings -> Messages -> Send & Recieve and check which addresses each phone should receive iMessages addressed to.

HT2204 My husband and I have the same apple id. We would like to each have our own. He will keep the original one, but how do I get a new apple Id and keep all the things I have associated with the old apple id?

My husband and I use the same apple Id. We would like to each have our own apple id, but we do not want to lose all our information associated with the current id. One of us will keep the original. If one us creates a new apple id how will that affect the iPhone and iTunes?

That would be my suggestion. Just keep using the common one for purchases in the stores. Then each get another AppleID using a free gmail, AOL, hotmail, MS Live or whatever email account.
Delete your current iCloud account and login with the new AppleID, and logout of Messaging and then backin with the new AppleID. Now you have a shared iTunes/App store account, but completely separate, independent iCloud and iMessage accounts.
You can still share calendars if you wish to, even across separate accounts - http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2690

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Deleting an account from a device will not delete the information from the account, if that is what you are asking.

Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

My husband and I use the same computer. He has his Itunes library that updates his ipod. I have my ITunes library that updates my ipod. How can we share songs between us?

My husband and I use the same home computer. He has his ITunes library that links to his Ipod. I have my ITunes library that links to my Ipod. How can we share songs between our libraries? (Windows - Vista)

No. Its not possible.
Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.

MY HUSBAND AND I SHARED THE SAME EMAIL ADDRESS, AT THAT TIME I PURCHASED MUSIC, NOW I HAVE MY OWN EMAIL. I ADDED MYSELF TO THE ORIGINAL EMAIL, ON THE ORIGINAL ITUNES ACCOUNT. HOW CAN I GET MY MUSIC ON MY I PHONE. MY HUSBAND HAS ALL MY MUSIC ON HIS PHONE.

MY HUSBAND AND I SHARED THE SAME EMAIL ADDRESS, AT THAT TIME I HAD DOWNLOADED MUSIC TO MY PHONE. I GOT MY OWN EMAIL ADDRESS AND ADDED THAT EMAIL TO THE ORIGINAL ACCOUNT, WHICH ORIGINATED WITH MY HUSBANDS EMAIL.
HOW CAN I GET THE MUSIC DOWNLOADED TO MY IPHONE.

Please turn off your CAPS LOCK!
How did you "add that email to the original account"?
You changed the AppleID to your new email address?

In preferences turn on iTunes sharing in iTunes preferences and keep iTunes turned on in both accounts. Or better yet put the iTunes library on the main HD rather than in an account and set the location of the library to that location in iTunes preferences.

TS4268 My husband and I use the same apple ID, after the update he started getting all my texts from me to other people and from other people to me. Anyone know how to turn this off?

My husband and I share the same apple ID for purchasing apps and what not, ever since the update he started receiving all my texts from other people and I am not even getting them half the time. Any thoughts on trying to fix this would be appreciated. I tried turning off imessage but then he got no texts at all.

Make sure that on each of your Settings>Messages> Send and Receive Addresses have only the appropriate phone number and email checked at the left. If his is checked on yours click on his it will uncheck

Going to venture a guess your Apple Mobile Device service isn't started.

My husband and I have the same itunes password. When I tried to set up his own, it said that I could not use his email address because it is a back up address on mine. How can I change that....can't find the right place to go. Thanks

My husband and I have the same itunes password. When I tried to set up a separate one for him, it said that his email address was used as a backup on my phone so it could not have its own address. Where do I go to remove his address as my backup address....thanks

Hi theirmimi,
Go to Manage your Apple ID (on a computer) and sign in with your Apple ID. Then you can edit the email information on your account:

Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?

Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?
We share an e-mail account and would like to use the same e-mail address for both our phones, as well as our computers at home. Is this possible?
We both have itunes and apple ID's of our own right now, but since getting married, we are deleting these e-mail accounts and sharing one. How can we make this work?

You may use the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, but using different iCloud Apple IDs is recommended.
If you use the same iCloud account on your iPhones it will sync all of your contacts, reminders, and notes automatically and it could be a pain. I don't know exactly how you would want to have the iCloud accounts set up on the Macs, because I don't know exactly how you use them. (I am assuming you share?). But you can do whatever you like, you can even keep the same iCloud accounts, etc but you may want to disable the syncing of certain items, because reminders for ones phone popping up on the others automatically would probably get annoying, but that is just me.

My husband and I share the same email address. Is there someway to have different AppleIDs with the same email address?

My husband and I share the same email address at home. Is there some way creating an Apple ID using the same email address? We have multiple apple devices at home (2x iphone4, imac, mini ipad, and notebook) and want our emails from that one address to come through on the different devices.

No, you cannot have the same primary email address used for two separate Apple IDs.
However, you can sign into the same email address on your separate devices for the purposes of receiving mail. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts & Calendars > Add Account.
Apple IDs are for using Apple services, like the App Store, iTunes, etc.
Email addresses (while used as the NAME of an Apple ID), are separate entities.
