  • Can two iPhones share the same apple id?

    I have a white iPhone 4 and i just bought a new black iPhone 4. Can I activiate the new black iPhone 4 and use the same apple id on both of them? Will all the music be shared? Can I have access to the account on both phones?

    No. The only information that may be transferred between the two is music, apps, or books if automatic downloads are turned on within Settings>iTunes and App Stores. However if you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on both devices they will share whatever information you share with iCloud. For instance if you have different contacts on both phones and use the same iCloud account with both of them they will then show a combination of the two contact libraries on both phones. So if you add a contact to one iPhone it will add the same contact to the other. The same goes with deleting contacts as well. Hope this helps.

  • Can two users share the same mac desktop with two different iTunes accounts

    I have a mac desktop, my husband and I share the mailbox for our emails but he has his itunes account on the computer. I have mine on an old mac laptop wHich is not working well any longer. Can I create a second Itunes on the desktop so we could both use the same computer yet keep our music separate

    You can.
    Your home account can have its own hard drive.
    iTunes Media Library can be shared. Or not.
    Even have your own boot drive if needed and you have different applications and configuration.
    The Mac Pro and OS X are designed for multiple users. Not being limited to just one (or two, now that SSDs have found their way into iMac and laptops) has allowed more people to off load their media and data from the boot drive, which is always good.

  • Can two iPhones share the same phone number?

    I have an iPhone 4s and a 6, and would like to switch between them, based on the activity I'm doing.

    No, however, you could use call forwarding to redirect the calls if your carrier offers that feature. Not that this will NOT forward SMS/MMS messages.

  • Can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  Yes, there is more to the story.

    I have an iMac, and iPhone.  I've had my Apple ID for a few years. 
    My wife got an iPhone 4S a few months back and the salesperson at Verizon set her Apple ID the same as mine, but gave her a different password.  I don't know if this was ok, but that is what happened.
    So, yesterday, we both upgraded to IOS6 and I had no problem logging in to my iPhone with my Apple ID.  When my wife went to log in, she was told that she was entering the wrong password. We entered the password over and over again and still was wrong.
    The question is... can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  (I have the feeling her iPhone is thinking that since it's my Apple ID, it wants my password.)
    If not, can I still set up a new Apple ID for her even through she's had the iPhone for a few months?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    You shold follow your feelings, its probably right most of the time.
    You can have 5 different devices hucked upp to one Apple ID. What I have done is that my wife and I have one Apple ID, when I bye a new app on my phone, She gets it to. Thats nice.
    You can allways set upp a new Apple ID for your wife.

  • Can two Iphones have the same account/email address?

    Can two iphones have the same account/email address? I bought two phones-one for my wife and the other for myself. They are both under the same account /itunes account /email address-Would this cause a conflict with the two phones?

    No, as long as you want to share the same account for iCloud's services like Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, iCloud, Documents etc.
    I personally would create two accounts so that everyone could have and use  heir own mail account, address book, create meetings, reminders etc. without reading and deleting stuff of the other person.

  • Can two users on the same Mac sync contacts by using the same Apple ID in the iCloud settings?

    Can two users on the same Mac sync contacts by using the same Apple ID in the iCloud settings?

    Hi Barney,
    That's exactly what I want. I have a personal user and a business user on my MacBook Pro. I want both users to have the same contacts so if I add a contact while I'm logged into my personal user, it will show up when I'm logged into my business user. I want both contacts books to be exactly the same; like you said. So, I used my business user AppleID when I enabled iCloud for my personal user and I enabled iCloud for my business user with that Apple ID as well. For my personal user, I selected Contacts and Calendars to sync with iCloud. For my business user, I selected everything to sync with iCloud. The problem is... it didn't change anything. I restarted my computer to see if that would do anything but nothing happened. I'm not super savvy with Apple products, so maybe I'm completely confused.
    Hi Xeni,
    Thank you for your response, as well.

  • Can two people share the same library?

    I installed a new mac mini which we're planning on using as a media hub and as a machine to sync my iphone from.  I want to have a "Server" login on it just for itunes to run the backend for Apple TV.  However, I'd also like my itunes library on my "Personal" login.  Can I share the same library betwixt the two (if put into the Shared folder?) or do I have to set it up in my Personal and then share it to the Server login?  If I do that, don't I have to login to both and run itunes before it'll work?  I'd like to avoid anything like that because I travel often and want something my family can leave on and reboot easily while I'm away, without giving my kids access to my Personal login.

  • Two iphones on the same mac laptop

    can two iphones be on the same computer? daughter will be getting my old 2g and i want to know all i need to set it up.

    I suggest disabling automatic syncing with iTunes. Go to iTunes > Preferences. Under the Devices tab, select disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods.
    Connect one iPhone to your computer and iTunes and select what you want for that iPhone under the various tabs for the iPhone's sync preferences followed by a sync.
    Do the same for the 2nd iPhone.
    Done.

  • Can multiple iPhones share the same iTunes account?

    My daughter received her first iPhone.  She activated it today using my iTunes account and all of my contacts were overwritten with her contacts. How can we fix this? My other daughter received hers today as well but she hasn't activated it yet. What can we do to prevent this from happening? Also, can multiple iPhones share one iTunes account?
    Thanks

  • Can two ipads share the same icloud account

    hello. My wife and i recently added a second ipad to our household (his and hers). We would like to share the same icloud account fior photo streaming and music and such, but want to have our seperate emails, contacts and calendars on each ipad. Is this possible without having to create seperate icloud accounts?

    Don't understand what you are trying to do.
    You said 2 iPads using the same iCloud acoount, are you try to switch to another iCloud account?
    Then you need to delete the one you have on iPad. Deleting iPad iCloud account do not delete the content in iCloud. You will be asked.

  • Can two iPhones have the same number?

    Can I have one phone number work simultaneously for two phones? I'm always forgetting to take my phone with me, and would like to keep one permanently in my purse. The idea is to keep my old iPhone4s and buy an iPhone6, but assign both of them the same phone number. Can it be done?
    Thanks!

    As @Csound1 mentions Google Voice, I will mention that my primary phone number is my Google Voice number. It is set to forward all of my calls to my cell, my home and my office simultaneously. When I answer on any of them it drops the remaining connections. It can also send and receive texts (and forward them to my phones), and it transcribes voicemail to text and emails the transcript to me. There's an iPhone app for it. When you make outgoing calls with it your GV number is what appears in Caller ID. It can also record calls and make conference calls. There is no monthly charge for using it, and it is free for incoming calls and outgoing calls to the US and Canada. International calls are phenomenally cheap, typically 2¢ per minute. When you sign up you get to choose your number, including choosing your area code.

  • Can two users share the same iMac simultaneously?

    I have recently acquired several 2009 Mac "towers" (kind of new to Mac, here...  have patience...) and I'm trying to stretch the 20 computers I was given so it can service 40 students.  They all have 6gb of RAM, a couple of TB's of memory, fast processors and (from my understanding) can support two demanding users at one time.  They also have two network ports.
    Now, I'm not talking about using two monitors on one Mac, because I know how to do that.  I'm trying to have two totally separate users, with two different accounts on a network, logging in totally independently and drawing off of a similar network.  So, I'm basically trying to make it so we "split" one Mac so that two students can use one machine.
    I thought about partitioning the drive so that I can have two parallel installations of iOS, running independently of each other (not sure if that's possible) but then I wouldn't know how to connect the machine to the internet.  I know it has two different network ports but I'm not sure how to make them operate independently.  The students need to have their own login and should not be able to mess with the other student's items.
    I appreciate any and all tips or help.
    Thanks again!

    You can create as many individual user accounts on a Mac as you like. Then, any one or more of those users can remotely log in from another Mac and use that Mac as their own, simultaneously. Each account will remain separate from all others.
    However, since each user needs to have a Mac to do that, I'm not sure how you could effectively double the number of users as you describe.
