Can my wife and I use the same Apple ID?

You can certainly use the same ID for an itunes store account to share purchased items. However for icloud, it's designed so that each account pertains to one user for each of his/her devices. The main purpose of icloud is syncing and backups of iOS devices. Do you really want to have the same email account, same contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc? Usually a couple needs to have separate icloud accounts. They can share calenders if they want.
The danger of two users using one account is if one user edits or deletes (on purpose or accidentally) data, that will propagate to the other user's devices.

(Possible solution found) Can my wife and I use the same Lion DL even with two separate Apple IDs?

EDIT: Sorry; original search terms didn't give me my answer. I think I found a solution though. Will update whether it works out.
My wife and I each have our own MBPs, and we each have our own Apple IDs that pre-existed our marriage. Apple doesn't make it easy to have one family account with subaccounts managed underneath this, and we don't want each others iTunes purchases populating our libraries.
Is it possible for me to DL and install Lion with my Apple ID, copy it to hers, and install it there with my same info yet still allow her to use her own ID for other things? Or will we need separate IDs for each download?

My husband and I share the same computer at home with different email address and apple IDs . My question is can I download music from my itune page to his Iphone?

Can I Share the itune music that I purchase with my husband even if we have different Apple ID passwords?

No, you cannot have the same primary email address used for two separate Apple IDs.
However, you can sign into the same email address on your separate devices for the purposes of receiving mail. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts & Calendars > Add Account.
Apple IDs are for using Apple services, like the App Store, iTunes, etc.
Email addresses (while used as the NAME of an Apple ID), are separate entities.

Can my girlfriend and I use the same computer but have 2 itunes accounts?

I've got itunes on my computer and have an iphone synched. My girlfriend has just bought an iphone but her old computer is broken, so she has an itunes account but can't access it.
She has connected her iphone to my computer and at the set up specified that it was a new phone, however there doesn't seem to be any option for her to select a different itunes account?
Is it possible to run 2 itunes accounts off of 1 computer?

you could authorize your iTunes to play/use content purchased with her iTunes account.
that's basically very easy. all you have to do is +log out+ of one account (click on the account name in the Store window and select +sign out+ from the pop-up dialog) and into the other, and then they will both be authorized. (be sure to just *log out*, not de-authorize ).

HT204053 my wife and I use the same account but want to change that to where we have our own account. How do we do that without loosing our apps and music?

My wife and I use the same app store account, but we would like to have our own separate accounts. How can we do this and not loose our own personal apps. and music.

One account keeps purchased media, the other will have to re purchase.

Should my wife and I use the same Apple account or separate accounts?

Should my wife and I use the same account or our own accounts?
We each have our own iPhones and we share one iPad.
We have one computer where we use iTunes (our main desktop at home).
On iTunes on our computer, sometimes we are logged into my wife's iTunes account and sometimes we are logged into mine.
My iPhone was set up with my account and my wife’s was set up with her account.
My wife's iPad is set up with her account (but it seems like it is pretty easy to log out and then log in with my account if I want, I think).
Since we log into our respective accounts on iTunes and have our own accounts for our iOS devices, we purchase music, games, etc. on both accounts.
If we continue with our current method of different accounts, I am worried that our music, games etc. will be separated so that we won't be able to access them all from each of our devices. For example, I'm thinking of setting up that Home Sharing thing where you can use your iOS device to stream off your computer's iTunes but I think it only streams off the iTunes account you are currently signed into.
Is this a good idea or should we just pick one of our accounts and use it exclusively?
If we just use one account, should our phones both be signed in / started up with that one account?
Thanks for any info.

HT204407 My wife and I share the same email address but have different iphone numbers. Is there anyway we can both be on "Find Friends."

My wife and I share the same email address but have different iphone numbers. Is there anyway we can both us "Find Friends" apps? When I try to enter her contact name it won't allow me to do this. Thanks.

make seperate appleID's if you wish to be frinds or if you wish to facetime video chat and if you wish to not recieve the samme imessage msg's unless you turn it off
you can still set both your iphones to use an email address even if both have different appleId's
the appleID is a handle not a link to an email address

How do my wife and i use the same ipad?

How do my wife and i use the same ipad?

Nothing keeps you from handing it "back and forth" to share. I do this all the time on our couch with my Wife's iPad...
I think your quesiton revolves around having your own bookmarks and other data/info on the device.
The iPad is meant to be a "single user device"; there isn't a login/logout to differenciate one user from another. "The iPad isn't a computer".. ;-)
But, that being said, there are lots of ways to share the iPad/iOS environment. Many apps, such as Facebook, let you login and out.. so, while you share the same app, each of your login is different.
For bookmarks and notepad it is a little trickier.. You can each use a different browser (so all of your bookmarks are complerety seperate.)
In some cases I would sugest a couple get a $900 Macbook Air rather than an iPad if this sharing won't work. "Why can't I log in and out of and iPad?". I think that the fact that it doesn't gives the iPad many adantages over a computer.
If you have more specific questions pleaser ask away. Just like you share the kitchen table and many other things around your household, there are many ways to make this work! ;-)

Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?

Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?
We share an e-mail account and would like to use the same e-mail address for both our phones, as well as our computers at home. Is this possible?
We both have itunes and apple ID's of our own right now, but since getting married, we are deleting these e-mail accounts and sharing one. How can we make this work?

You may use the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, but using different iCloud Apple IDs is recommended.
If you use the same iCloud account on your iPhones it will sync all of your contacts, reminders, and notes automatically and it could be a pain. I don't know exactly how you would want to have the iCloud accounts set up on the Macs, because I don't know exactly how you use them. (I am assuming you share?). But you can do whatever you like, you can even keep the same iCloud accounts, etc but you may want to disable the syncing of certain items, because reminders for ones phone popping up on the others automatically would probably get annoying, but that is just me.
