HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID for iMessage/Facetime that is not the same as my iCloud ID?

I have one Apple ID for iCloud that is used on multiple devices. Each user has their own Apple ID for Store purchases.  Can I use my Apple ID that is NOT my iCloud ID as a way to get my iMessages/FaceTime on multiple devices?

To clarify, we share an iPad (original iOS 5.1.1).
When I use it, I would like to use my individual AppleID that I use for store purchases so I get MY iMessages on both my phone and the iPad.
It seems to work when I use the iCloud Apple ID (meaning iMessages come through on both units) but when I try to set them both up using my store Apple ID, it doesn't work.
Help?!?!

    Can I use one Apple ID for two Apple IPhones? I received an answer of yes.
    Now another question.  I have one ICloud Account, Two IPhones.  Can I use Find my IPhone via the one ICloud Account?  Can I see two IPhones on the map at the same time?  or do I need to view the second phone via some other method.

    If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account.  You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

    HI
    I was trying to take my Mac air to factory default settings.
    I've done all that it says in the documment i was following, and them during the process it asked me the APPLE ID.
    I put the apple id i have in my iphone. But it's not the one... it's said that i don't have any OSX associated with it... so it can not install the OSX.
    So what can i do?

  • HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID to purchase apps and a different one to purchase iTunes music

    Can I use one Apple ID to purchase apps and a different Apple ID to purchase music off iTunes on the same computer?

    Short answer, yes.
    Long answer, it can make things more complicated, especially if you start adding iOS devices to the mix.

    It is unwise of you to post your email address publicly, I will ask for it to be removed.

  • HT204053 Should I use one Apple id for two Apple products

    I Bought iPad and already had iPhone ans used same I'd for both
    want to know if in future I deleted apps from my iPhone will it be deleted from my iPad also or visa versa

    Yes, yes, yes, always use ONLY ONE Apple ID.  Multiple IDs will cause multiple problems.
    Deleting from one device will not result in deletion from other devices.
    It's best to manage your devices from iTunes on a computer.  The iTunes will know which device is which but you might want to name them (in iTunes) for your own convenience.  You can then decide which music, apps, movies, etc. belong on which device(s).

  • HT204053 Can I use two Apple IDs for iCloud?

    I have an Apple ID in both US and Germany. Can I use both IDs with iCloud?

    You can use both accounts on your device for Mail, Contacts, Calendars and afew more iCloud services, but you can only set up one account for services like documents and app data, backup and also only one account for iTunes & Store purchases (automatic download option or iTunes Match)

  • HT5622 can I use one apple ID for both iPhone and iPad?

    hello, i just bought a new ipad and want to use the same apple ID that i used in my iphone. is it possible?
    thank you for helping me

    Philly_Phan is absolutely right if you intend to be the primary user of both devices. Is that the case or will one of the devices be used by someone else with whom you want to communicate over Facetime and iMessage?

  • How can I share an Apple ID with my wife or Can I use one Apple ID for two iPhones?

    My wife got her iPhone 4 before I got my iPhone 4s. To make things easier, I allowed her to use my Apple ID and iTunes to sync/backup her iPhone.  Now that I have an iPhone 4s... I would like to keep sharing the Apple ID and its associated content (be it apps, music, etc) but I would like our contacts and other individuals items to be kept separate.  What is the best solution for this situation?  Ultimately I want to avoid having to make yet another iTunes account/Apple ID and because we are married we share everything already.  Thanks for the help!

    Thanks.  I was afraid it would be something like that.  I bought it off my NIH grant from Apple, so there is no problem proving ownership.  Since I can easily live without iPhoto and iMovie on that computer, I probably won't bother, unless it prevents me from updating the OS when 10.9 comes out.  The strange thing is I can update stuff like Xcode (which I absolutely need) without a problem.  It appears to be just the apps that Apple both sells and provides with a new computer

  • HT204053 Can i use one apple ID on two different computers?

    I would like to sync my contacts and my calendar between an iMac at home, and a MacMini in my shop.
    Thanks in advance.
    Toon.

    Yes - that's the whole point of iCloud, to keep computers and devices in sync.
    Sign into System Preferences>iCloud with your Apple ID on your iMac. Check 'Mail', 'Contacts', 'Calendars' and any other data types you want to sync. You will be asked to create an @icloud.com address. Give it all time to transfer your data to the iCloud server.
    When you get to work, sign in in the same way, and check the same data types. Give it a few minutes, and your data will be visible there.

  • Why am I not about to use my Apple ID for iMessage? I have typed the password correctly and the only thing that appeared was "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again"

    I am not able to use my iMessage after updating to iOS 7.0.2. Although I have tried to sign in as many times as possible, a sign writing "could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again". My network bar is 4-5/5 but I still could not sign in.
