HT1495 Registering 2 iphone 4s under one apple ID???

I just purchased an iphone 4s yesterday.  I want to start downloading apps and music from itunes.
My wife has a iphone 4s for several months now. 
We have ONE itunes account on ONE computer.
My question is do I use her existing Apple ID for my phone also?  Will this cause problems with downloading apps or contacts to the specific iphone they were intended?
If I create a new Apple ID for my phone, will I be able to download the current music in our itunes account? 
I dont know which way is BEST.  I have read the tutorials but I havent found answers to these questions.
Thank you for the help!!

A single account will be easiest from the point of view of managing purchases. You might need to be careful how you configure services such as iCloud however. For example I have both an iPad and an iPhone and I want, calendar & contacts updated between the two, but you probably won't.
Each device can be given its own set of apps and media content to sync with when connected to your shared library.
You may find it pays to create a second identity for the new phone, but stick to the existing ID for app & media purchases.

    ccording to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have" more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID? Find out."

    Tell your wife to get her own Apple ID. If you do not want continuity/handoff to work with calls, on both devicesgo to Settings==>>FaceTime==>> Turn OFF iPhone cellular calls.

  • Two devices under one apple ID, how do I keep my privacy?

    I have two devices under one apple ID, my sister's iPhone 4s and my own iPod touch 5. iMessages and FaceTime requests etc are being sent to both devices instead of the specific one it's meant to be sent to. For example, I am recieving the iPhone's iMessages on my iPod as well, when they are meant to be only sent to the iPhone. Also, will safari history and bookmarks/app downloads and passwords etc be shown on both devices as well?

    Remember this construct:
    One Apple ID per individual; one device per Apple ID. If you have two devices you should have an Apple ID for each unless you want both devices to draw from the same iTunes Library. This is your situation now.
    If you open iTunes and select one device to configure, then go through the configuration options for Apps, Music, etc. and select what you want synched to that device. Repeat the process for your other device. This is the best you can do to keep each device's configuration different.

    How to get to a 2nd Free iCloud Email Accounts under one Apple ID.
    I just got my iphone 5 and I setup a icloud [email protected] with the email address. I am also using this as my Apple ID now due to I could not use it in facetime or imessge without doing that. How do I setup a 2nd Free Icloud email account that will work with facetime and imessage within the same Apple ID.

  • Two iPads under one apple account at AppStore

    Dear community !
    Please advice is it possible to use two iPads under one Apple account in Apostore ? It's necessary for me to get the same apps for my iPad and for my wife's one.

    you can do this with no problems. i have several 4 ipads/iphones all using the same apple account with no issues. in itunes you can choose which apps go to each ipad/iphone - by default all apps go to each, but you can turn this off and choose what you want. a bonus of using the same account is that if you do want the same app, you only have to buy it once.

    This happens when you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage.  You can continue to share the same ID for pruchasing from the iTunes & App stores, but you should be using a different ID for iMessage.  To fix this you have two choices:
    On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (so you are both using a different ID for iMessage); or
    On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".  Also uncheck anyone else's phone number, if present.

  • Can I put more than one user under one Apple ID account. I want to let other family members use imessage on their own Apple device. Or is there another way to get this end result?

    You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses. 

  • Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
    Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
    If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
    Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
    How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
    Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
    I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
    If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

  • Can you set up seperate Icloud accounts up under One apple ID?

    Can I backup different devices to different Icloud under one apple account?
    For example my computer and phone to one and my son's phone and ipad to another without creating separate apple ids.
    Thanks

    You don't sync devices through devices. You sync through iCloud or iTunes. If he has his own Apple/iCloud ID then he would be syncing through iCloud with that ID. On iTunes, he can use the same iTunes library as long as his ID has been authorized on the computer iTunes is running on.
    Can you explain a little more about what information you are looking for?

  • Is there a way to have two payment cards under one apple id

    Is there a way to have two payment cards under one apple id? 

    You're confusing icloud and itunes store accounts.  Individual users should have their own icloud accounts (using their Apple ID) but multiple users can share the same ID for logging into the itunes store account.

  • HT204053 Can I search or locate different iPhone devices using one apple ID?

    Hello!
    Can I search or locate different iphone devices using one apple I.D.?
    Thanks!

    You can only use Find My iPhone for accounts that you can log into.  If you and your neighbor have different IDs and you only know your ID, than you can only track devices attached to your account.
