How to change apple id on iPhone. Wife and I have same apple ID. Get each others iMessages. want to put her on another cloud with different id.
How to change apple id on iPhone? Wife and I have same apple ID which causes me to get her iMessages instead of her. I also get all her pics on my phone and I don't want them. We need to change her apple ID without causing my ID and cloud to be closed.
Have her create a new ID. Here: https://appleid.apple.com/
Have her log out of iMessage/Facetime/iCloud on her device. Now have her use the new ID she has created.
That should keep the 2 of you separated, except for iTunes purchases. You can share that ID in a family up to 5 devices.

My wife and I have one Apple ID through which we have individually purchased apps for her iPad and my iPad 2. We both now have individual iCloud accounts, and she now has an iPhone. For business reasons we now have to separate the apps under our individual iCloud accounts, but will maintain a single Apple ID for purchases. How can we separate the apps?
Hi Shadow,
The apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that they were purchased under. Your iCloud accounts are also Apple IDs, so although you can sync the apps to your individual device via iTunes, you will be syncing them to the devices, not to iCloud.
Since you are still purchasing everything under one Apple ID, then I'm presuming that they live in a single iTunes library on your computer or Mac? If that is the case, then you would just want to:
Hook up a device to the Mac or computer
Select the device when it shows up under devices
Once selected, the Device Profile screens display to the right - click on the Apps tab, and select which ones you want on that device.
Also check all the other profile pages to make sure they are set up to sync the things you want to sync to that device.
On the info page, you will see that you can sync Contacts & Calendars via iCloud or via iTunes. If you want a single source for contacts & calendars for both of your devices, sync them via iTunes. If you want your own sets of contacts & calendars, sync them via iCloud.
Do you have iCloud set up on the computer or Mac? If so, which iCloud account are you planning on using?
Some of the decisions you will want to make will depend on how you have your computer or Mac configured in conjunction with iTunes. One Apple ID, but one or two User Accounts for the computer or Mac? iCloud on the computer or Mac? What do you want to share and to not share?
Post back with any questions.
Cheers,

my wife and I have separate apple ID acts so that we could register our iPhones and iPads under our own names. Can I have my iMac synch iCloud with both apple ID's so that both our calendars end up on our iMac?
If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account. -

Sounds like, because my wife and I have separate Apple ID and separate iMacs, that we would not be able to use iTunes Match as a single unit/account?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you are using different ID's for iTunes, then unfortunately you can't share an iTunes Match subscription. -
After i updated to IOS6 my wife and i keep getting each others imessages.
after i updated to IOS6 my wife and i keep getting each others imessages.
This is caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To prevent this you need to use separate IDs. (You can continue to use the same ID for purchasing; it does not need to be the same as the one used for other services such as iMessage.)
On the phone that will be changing, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, sign back in with a different ID. -
4 of us in the family with iphonesor ipods share the same apple id so that we can share the itunes library . However , this means we all receive each others imessages, unless we disable imessaging. Is there a way of sharing itunes library (ie.g with 4 separate ids) that avoids the sharing of imessages? .
Thanks, Terence, but if she was inclined to upload things, I wouldn't need access!
Here is an example: we go on vacation, she takes 250 photos, edits twenty of the best shots, and uploads three to facebook. I want to make an album including some of the edited shots and some of the less perfect but still fun shots - so I need all 250 photos - uploading that many photos to a photosharing site takes forever even if she did it - but she won't. I used to just hijack her computer for a day, but I'd like to be able to hijack her iphoto library without stealing her computer...if possible!
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Both my wife and I have I-Phone 4S. I have I-Tunes downloaded to my lap top and we both have separate I-Tunes accounts. How can I Sync my wife's phone without having all my contacts, and my music end up on her phone?
Each iDevice synced with iTunes on the same computer has its own sync preferences with iTunes.
If each iPhone is synced with the same supported address book app on the computer, contacts will be the same on each iPhone.
You can create a seperate computer login account for your wife where she can access her iTunes content only with iTunes under her computer login account and the same with her contacts, etc. -
After installing IOS6 on my iphone 4 and my daughters iphone 4s we have this wonderful connection that we would like to break. We are now seeing/receiving each others text messages. I love my daughter but I don't really want to get all of her text messages from her friends and I don't really want to read every response she sends. Additionally, she can also see my text messages and there are times I really don't need for her to know everything that I am doing.
So It is time to cut the cord we need our own seperate texting. I am not sure what we did to have this happen but how do we undo it?Get your Apple ID sort out.
Only use the same Apple ID in Settings > iTunes & App Stores to share purchases, no where else.
Here some tips, it was written for IOS 5 but it's still valid for iOS 6.
iOS 5 & iCloud Tips: Sharing an Apple ID With Your Family -
How can I set up my 4s so that when I need to access my apple account to either download an app, update an app or buy something then I need to just put in my password? This is how my 3s worked but the 4 s seems to have stored all my details so I don't need to log in. My young son sometimes plays games and I dont want him to accidentally buy stuff. If I log out then each time I need to go back in I have to put in all my account info. Not just my password.
Any ideas?Depending upon what version of iOS that you have on it then you might have a Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password setting on it - if you do then set it to 'Immediately'

How can i use 2 iphones & 1 ipod on my itunes account without all the devices getting all the texts bewteen all three devices? It also looks like I've lost about 82 songs that have been purchased as they aren't showing in purchased?? Not happy Thanks
When you say "use the same purchasing apple ID for both to share books/music apps"- will this allow him to see what apps I download on his ipod (don't want)? will this allow me to continue to see what apps/games he gets on his ipod, on my phone (do want)? and do I set those changes on both devices?
To do this:
iPhone: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads:
Music: ON
Apps: ON
Books: ON
iPod: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads:
now you decide what he gets automatically.
He doesn't use game center, imessage, facetime or anything else (mainly just games, music and picture taking)- so does he really need his own apple id and email address? also- if he wants to start getting text messages, would i still have access to all of them if he has his own apple id? would i have access to them if he stays on my apple id?
Then he doesn't need an Apple ID.
Switch in
Settings > Messages >
iMessage: OFF
Send & Receive > Apple ID: > sign out
Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime: OFF -
How can I stream photos to 2 of 4 devices, have same apple ID?
Hi, my wife and I both have a IPhone and IPad. We use the same apple account for purchases. But I don't want to stream photos on all devices. Is there a way to stream photos from my phone to my iPad but not to my wife's and then have her devices share here photos? Thanks in advance for the help.
You need to keep the same ID as you both have now for the iTunes store but you need to delete the iCloud account for one of you on both the iPhone and the iPad (settings > iCloud, scroll down and select delete account). You then need to create a new iCloud account (settings >iCloud).
Before deleting iCloud accounts, consider that iCloud syncs calendars, email, notes, reminders and contacts, you won't delete any of that information from iCloud by deleting the account you will however delete it from the phone/iPad unless you turn each service off one by one before deleting the account, if you do this you will be offered the opportunity to keep the data on the device.
When you create your new iCloud account you will be offered the opportunity to merge data (if you have have previously elected to keep it on your device).
Hope that makes sense, my battery ran out just before I finished typing and I've had to type it all again - sometimes you rush things the second time around. -
