How to dis-accociate an apple id

Years ago... somehow my apple id got mixed up with my wife's. it all satrted with the cloud....
Anyway, she has her own id and devices, and I have my ipnone, but I just bought a device and will want to use the cloud to sync.
Problem is, that if we both have the cloud turned on,we get all of each others stuff. contacts etc.
how can I stop that? I dont want a new apple id, and can't find anywhere where my id is in her account any more.
any thoughts?

Go to System Preferences > iCloud, and sign out.
To associate an Apple ID with your login name, System Preferences > Users & Groups. Click the "Change" button.

How do i use my apple id with ichat?

how do i use my apple id with ichat?

Hi,
Only @Mac.com and MobileMe Apple IDs are valid AIM names as well (And the Passwords need to be 16 characters of Less - AIM end Issue).
If you have any other form of Apple ID then you will need to register for either an @mac.com name or create an AIM one.
NOTE The @Mac.com Registration requires you link an active Email to the @Mac.com name.
THIS CANNOT BE an Email address you have used for an Apple ID already.
The AIM Registration asks for Email address for Security and Password Recovery and is not Hard Linked in the same way (you could use the same email to set up multiple accounts/Screen Names)
To state things another way:-
A MobileMe ID is an Email address.
It is an Apple ID and will work in those places it is supposed to, iTunes, Apple Support Communities (with Alias set up), Face Time (With Registration) Apple On-Line Store, Mac App Store.
It is a Vlaid AIM NAme as well (If the password is kept to 16 characters or less).
@mac.com names are Apple IDs with the same access as above.
It is a Valid AIM Screen Name.
If it was registered before MobileMe started it maybe linked to a Current MobileMe account as a valid Email.
A Current Registration is purposely for iChat use and Requires a Non Apple current Email that is NOT linked to any other Apple ID
Any other name or Email used to create an Apple ID is not an Email with/through Apple.
It is NOT a valid AIM screen Name.
It is only an Apple ID that allows access to the places listed above.
If it is an email this cannot be used to Register with @mac.com
I hope this is clear.

How do I add multiple apple id's to one account

You don't. You can't combine Apple IDs.

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

"Method Three
Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

TS1741 How do I have multiple apple IDs on one Apple TV 5.3

I have looked and looked but I can't find a way to put both mine and my boyfriends apple IDs onto this Apple TV that I just bought him. It's the 5.3 version, I went under general, settings, and then iTunes Store, and there isn't a accounts option, it's just a sign in option so how can we both use our phones as remotes?

Well, you could save multiple Apple ID on your Apple TV, but you can't use them at the same time!
To add and manage multiple Apple IDs on Apple TV, follow this guide:

Poss. bug in Voice Memos tool -- how do you report to Apple?

Hello all,
I suspect that I have found a bug in the Voice Memos tool that comes with iPhone. Does anyone know how to report this to Apple? I'm not a developer, so I can't go through the Apple Developer Connection, and the www.cqf.apple.com URL that they want non-developers to use doesn't work.
The problem seems to occur when I have been recording a long, one-hour lecture, and accidentally tap the pause button instead of stop. If I then tap the record button to get the stop button to display again and then tap the stop button as soon as it redisplays, the resulting file does not work. I'm unable to sync it down to my computer, and it won't play back in Voice Memos, even though it shows the recording length (hour, minutes, seconds) for the listed file. If I tap play in Voice Memos, it simply doesn't play; the playback bar shows it as being zero minutes. I'm also unable to trim the recording.
This has happened twice in the past ten days since I started using the tool, and I suspect that the actions of tapping pause, then play, then stop is occurring too quickly, even though these buttons are available. Perhaps with a large file like this (one-hour recordings are about 10 MB), one needs to allow the tool to get the file back into "record" mode after tapping play, but before tapping stop. Unfortunately, with the stop button available right away, it's very easy to tap it before the tool may be ready for you to stop the recording. I hope this makes sense.
I'd like Apple to look into this and perhaps consider making the stop button unavailable until the file is truly ready to be stopped. Does anyone know how to report this to them? They seem to make it so difficult.... Of course, if anyone has any thoughts on this or has had the problem too (surely I'm not crazy?), I appreciate knowing more, although I doubt there's anything I can do to fix the problem, except to avoid tapping the pause button in the first place, and if I do, go slowly and allow the tool to actually continue recording before tapping stop.
Thanks!
Elesar

How do I reset my apple id security question with out a rescue email

How do I reset my apple id security question with out a rescue email?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
