How to turn off syncing for 2 devices that share the same Apple ID?

Hello, I really need help, my dad and I share the same apple ID and when he updated his phone to iOS 7, my messages autimatically syncs to his phone. So now he can read my imessages, is there a way for me to turn this off? Note that my dad does not live with me and I have no physical access to his phone. Also my phone is the 4 and his is the 4s. Please let me know soon! thank you!

HI. Me and my dad share the same apple id. I just found it out recently since he bought a new apple device ios 8, and all his bookmarks in safari kept on appearing on my ipad and the customer guide books that he purchased for his ios 8 appeared on my ibooks. How can i stop syncing with him ? Also i want to know if the old books i have in my ibooks and photos in my photo stream have been synced to his new ipad also? I cant see his ipad since he's far away from me right now. I just turned off all options in my icloud setting, will this erase all the syncing between our devices? Please answer soon. Thank you so much.

  • I have 2 iphones that share the same apple id but do not want them to share contacts and apps, how can I change this

    I have 2 iphones that share the same apple ID I do not want them to share contacts and apps how can I change this?

    You can use separate AppleIDs for iCloud, iMessage and iTunes - you just need to create unique AppleIDs for the iCloud accounts if syncing contacts that way (you will need an email address that is not already registered as an AppleID though to get another AppleID).
    Apps are a different matter in that purchases are tied to the AppleID used to log in to the store to make the purchase.  So you can create another AppleID for iTunes as well and use different ones on the different phones, but any apps you have already purchased with your existing AppleID are permanently tied to that AppleID.
    Really, unless you are sharing apps, content and such, there is no reason to use the same AppleID on each anyway.  So the simplest solution is to create new AppleID(s) for the second device.  If you need an email address to do that, just get a gmail account (or hotmail, yahoo or any other free email account).

  • Can u sync multiple devices to share the same music etc...?

    My iphone, wife iphone, daughter ipod touch all share the same apple id and password.

    Yes.  You need to combine the content.  First pick the one you want to be the "main" library."   Locate content from the other libraries that is not already in the main one, copy the files over, and add them to the main library.
    Do the copy by the most convenient means for your setup, e.g. USB flash drive, an external hard drive, or iTunes Home Sharing.
    Make sure in advance that the whole family wants you to do this.  Some may prefer to keep their own library.

  • How do I change an Apple ID on one of two devices that share the same ID?

    I have two devices with the same apple Id. My iphone and my daughters iphone. I can uncheck her # from the imessages to keep messages from going to her phone. I would like to get a new apple id for her phone so as to separate both of our phones.. How do I change my daughters iphone apple id to one different than mine?

    Just make her a new AppleID - https://appleid.apple.com
    On her device, log out of iMessage with your AppleID, then log back in with her new AppleID.  For iCloud, first go into the iCloud account settings and disable find my iPhone, then delete the iCloud account.  Now add a new iCloud account using her new AppleID.
    You both can continue to use the same AppleID in the iTunes and App stores if you wish to share purchases.  If not, just scroll to the bottom of the feature page in the store, log out with your AppleID and log back in with her AppleID (she will need your AppleID and password to update anything purchased with your AppleID though).

  • Contacts merged with device that shares the same iTunes account as me

    My husband and I share the same itunes account on our phones so whenever he downloads something new it downloads on my phone as well and vice-versa.
    Just recently, after iOS 6 update, we noticed that his contacts merged with my iPhone & my contacts have merged with his. Also, he is getting notifications from an app that we share... But the notifications are from MY friends on facebook. The app is called voxer and whenever someone (from my Facebook friends) sign up, my husband gets the notification. Which is really weird because im not even signed on to Facebook on his phone. Somehow my information has merged with his phone and his mine. Why is this? Is there a way I can make things back to normal? Thanks in advanced.

    Sounds like you may be syncing your contacts to the same iCloud account on both phones if your contacts are merged.  You can share the same iTunes account for purchasing apps and music, but to avoid merging data you sync with iCloud you need to set up separate iCloud accounts on each phone.
    To do this, first decide which phone will be changing accounts.  On this phone that will be changing, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The other phone will not be effected by this.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.  At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
    You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the other person's data from your account (such as deleting your husband's contacts from your account, and vice versa).  These changes will be reflected on each phone; when you're finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.
    Don't know anything about your problem with voxer notifications.

  • How do I separate 3 different devices all using the same apple ID

    HELP PLEASE!! My wife has a macbook which is about 5 years old. We used our only email address at that time as our apple ID. Since then we have bought her an iphone 4 and registered it with the same apple ID. Then a few months later I made the jump from my blackberry to an iphone 4 and used the same apple id. All these devices are now tethered to the same apple id as well as our family itunes account. So, we have a family itunes account, an older macbook and 2 iphone 4's all with the same apple id. With me so far? Now, everything was cool until the iOS update came out for our 2 iphones and came with the new icloud app. When my wife and I set up our icloud accounts everything that was on her phone showed up on mine and everything that was on mine showed up on hers. How do I change the apple id's on her phone and computer, keep the apple id we already have on my phone and continue to share the itunes account? An important note here is that the apple id's are my email address. HELP!!!!

    OK this might help you
    you need both iphones and the mac next open itunes and click on itunes prefrences now you will need to go to devices and erase all iphone back ups
    next plug the phone with your info to the mac and rename that iphone with your name and back it up, After the back up safely remove it
    next plug the phone with your wifes info into the mac and follow the same steps.
    after the back up is done restore your wifes iphone and when ask to restore as a new iphone you need to scroll down to her name and click on it then do the same with your phone
    this will put all info into the corresponding phones

  • HT5622 facetime not connecting to all devices that use the same apple id.  I have both an iphone and ipad.  Incomin facetime calls connect randomly to one or the other or both.  (should be coming to both)

    I have an iPad and an iPhone, both registered to same AppleID.  Incoming Face time calls ring randomly on one or the other or both (and sometimes none). They should ring on both.

    check the 'recieve at' addresses you set in settings, facetime.  you can have multiple addresses. 
    On mine, i have thre addresses set the same.  I am using both a phone # and my e mail address  (neither one is my apple ID, by the way).
    If somebody calls me to FT using the phone #, the phone rings first, followed by the pad, about 10 sec later.  If they call using the e mail address, they both ring at about the same time.  If one or the other answers, the other device stops ringing. 
    So next time a call comes, wait a bit before answering to see if the other device responds.  and check your receive at addresses.  
    You might want to test a little - have somebody call using one address, or the other, and see if you can track the behavior.

  • I have changed my Apple ID on my iPad, but my iPhone keeps popping up with the old ID.....how do I get all my devices to use the same ID?

    How can I get all my devices to use the same Apple ID?

    Different services on your iOS device (iMessage, Facetime, iCloud, iTunes and App Store) can be signed into with an Apple ID of your choice. Make sure you verify the settings for each device and that you are signed in to each service with the correct Apple ID.
    I'll do an example for iMessage:
    1) Go to settings on your iOS device
    2) Select "Messages"
    3) Select "Send & Receive"
    4) At the very top you will see "Apple ID", by selecting your Apple ID, you will now have the option to sign out of messages with the current Apple ID, and sign in with the new one.
    The steps for changing your Apple ID for other services will be very similar.
    tHIS SHOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TOO YOU.

  • Is it possible to change the Apple id on one device while keeping all purchases and apps? Also, several other devices are using the same apple Id.

    There are about 3 devices that use the same apple id. I would like to take my iphone and make my own apple id but I don't want to lose all the purchases that were made on the original apple id

    You can sign out and sign in with the new ID. The old purchases wont go away.

  • How to turn off categorization for case management

    Hopefully a simple one, how to turn off categorization for case management.
    I get this error in CRM 5.0 when choosing Cases.
    CASE_MANAGEMENT, CASE_TYPE, Z_01
    My categorization in the IC profile is set to ZDEFAULT (copy of default) but only contains
    IR     Interaction Record
    SO     Service Order
    ST     Service Ticket
    Does not have the CA case entry that is in DEFAULT.
    Z_01 is my case type but I see no place to set the categorization.
    I think I am missing something easy but don't see it.

    I'm guessing zdefault had same description default and it was picking up the default one in error.
