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.
Settings App > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads [turn off the catagories you do not wish to be auto-downloaded].
You will want to do this on both devices

My husband and I use the same Itunes account/ID. Does that mean we cannot both use FaceTime?

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. -
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 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:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/

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. -
How do i make icloud work if my husband and I share the same itunes account but we dont want to get each others contacts, messages, apps etc?
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 nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop? I have already unchecked the "Auto Update Apps" button. It happens with all purchases in the app store and on iTunes. HELP!
I also think separate accounts is the way to go....if he is over 13yrs also remember if you do make an account for him and use your bank card all purchases will be charged to your card.

My husband and I use the same apple ID. I started using a new iPhone and deleted his contacts from my phone which has also deleted them from his phone. He hasn't backed up his phone but my iPad is backed to iCloud. Can I retrieve the contacts from this?
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.

can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.
Welcome to the Apple community Pammy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users. -
My husband and i use the same appleid
my husband and i use the same appleid but now when he gets an imessage on his ipad i also get it on my iphone. Do I need to create a new apple id with my own email address
Ah sorry for the late response. I had connection problems.
Well, It's Pretty Obvious that you'll have that problem. You're using the same apple ID, afterall!
Because you're both logged into the same ID, you'd both get the message. Why, because they can easily detect him on the Ipad by his fingerprints and ONLY have him getting the message? no. You're both logged into the same Apple ID lol.
You'll have to make another apple ID. you could use Icloud to connect them togeather, too. And not get those emails. -
How do my wife and i use the same ipad?
How do my wife and i use the same ipad?
Nothing keeps you from handing it "back and forth" to share. I do this all the time on our couch with my Wife's iPad...
I think your quesiton revolves around having your own bookmarks and other data/info on the device.
The iPad is meant to be a "single user device"; there isn't a login/logout to differenciate one user from another. "The iPad isn't a computer".. ;-)
But, that being said, there are lots of ways to share the iPad/iOS environment. Many apps, such as Facebook, let you login and out.. so, while you share the same app, each of your login is different.
For bookmarks and notepad it is a little trickier.. You can each use a different browser (so all of your bookmarks are complerety seperate.)
In some cases I would sugest a couple get a $900 Macbook Air rather than an iPad if this sharing won't work. "Why can't I log in and out of and iPad?". I think that the fact that it doesn't gives the iPad many adantages over a computer.
If you have more specific questions pleaser ask away. Just like you share the kitchen table and many other things around your household, there are many ways to make this work! ;-)

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
