HT204053 How to manage two iPhones under one Apple ID?

Me and my mom need help. We are using the same Apple ID and our contacts have now been jumbled up because she has just now downloaded to iOS 7.3
Now i have still not updated to iOS 7.3. but i do have iOS 7.1
Could this be a problem and how do we fix our jumbled contacts with Facetime?

When you share an iCloud account, your synced data such as contacts is merged.  To prevent this, your devices should be on separate iCloud accounts.  To migrate to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate iCloud accounts, you can each go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from your accounts.
For FaceTime, go to Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your new iCloud ID.  If you are sharing the same ID for iMessage, do the same thing in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive or you will end up getting each other's text messages.
You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes & App store without any problems.

  • How to manage two iPhones with one Apple ID

    My company is moving to iPhones and away from BlackBerry so I may soon end up with a second iPhone.  I believe that I can set up the app store account using my current Apple ID so I can download apps that I have already purchased to the new phone.  But do I need to set up separate iCloud accounts?  And if so how do you do that?

    use your existing apple ID.

    On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account. Once you are happy with the changes plug your iPad into your computer to update the backup.

    How to manage, sync, use iCloud without data getting mixed up on one computer

    Easy.
    There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes, which is selected under the various tabs for the device's sync preferences with iTunes.

  • 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 sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications

    How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications ?
    We have two IPhones , but one PC , we want to sync separately , is that possible ?

    Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.

  • 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.

  • I have two iPhones, under one email account.

    Over time,  I have two iPhones, uand two iPads under one email account. When I download an app on one cell phone, it shows up on my other one also. How can I totally remove one iPhone and one iPad (my wife's) and place them on their own email account without losing certain apps and data I want to remain?

    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads on each device.
    Turn Apps and anything else you don't want automatically downloaded on each device when another device with the shared Apple ID makes a download from the iTunes Store.
    Creating a new Apple ID for another iOS device that is currently sharing the same Apple ID will not remove the apps that were downloaded with the shared Apple ID.
    All apps include DRM protection that is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. When there is an app update that was downloaded with the shared Apple ID, that Apple ID and password must be used to download the update.

  • Computer crashed how to sync TWO iphones on one computer?

    Any help is appreciated. My PC that I sync my iphone on has crashed and I tried to sync my iphone on my wifes laptop, but she has an iphone as well. I can log into iTunes, but cannot see any of my podcasts, applications or information.
    Is there any way to sync two iphones on one computer?

    The easiest least complicated way to keep your info and her info seperate and not worry about things is to take advantage of user profiles on your computer (in XP)...so each of you log into XP with your own accounts, thus iTunes (and any other software like mail, etc) all have your own settings.
    Otherwise, you will have to watch which account is logged into iTunes Store (click store and see what name is up top right in case you both have different accounts)...and make sure you are logged in with the right account before syncing. iTunes does know the difference between your phones so each can setup different settings of what to sync to, but your library on your computer will be mixed unless you do what I said first, use different profiles (user logins) for XP.

  • Reserve two iphones using one apple id?

    so i am wondering can i use my apple id to reserve two iphones using my iphone4 apple store app to reserve when iphone5 comes out?
    i want to reserve two iphones under my account when iphone5 comes out, can i do that?

    No one here knows especially since the iPhone 4S was released less than 6 months ago and Apple has not announced an iPhone 5.
    Planning ahead is one thing but you need to wait until Apple makes an announcement.

  • How to use two iPhones with one iCloud account

    I am really confused at how to set our iPhones up.
    My wife and I each have an iPhone 5. 
    We have one iCloud account because we share our calendar and contacts.
    I did get her her own iCloud account to add some calendar events I don't need to sync.
    That is working all well and good. 
    The only problem is Siri.  It says my name to her when she makes a request.  So I went in to Siri and choose her name out of contacts.  Then it starts calling me by her name on my iPhone.
    Obvioulsy Siri is linked via iCloud and I am not seeing a setting to change that.
    If we could share calendars between two different iCloud accounts all would be well.
    Can we.  Can I set my calendar up as something she can subscribe to?

    Hi Friend,
    About Siri, it must know who you are. To do that, go to: Settings>>General>>Siri>> My Information. There, you can select your own information, like name, phone number, home address, office address and so on.
    About Calendars, you can set what you want to share with her, and what she wants to share with you as well. To do it, you must set it in two different places:
    1o: Set with iCloud: Settings>>iCloud, there you can set if you want to sync with;
    2o: Set which kind of calendars you want to sync: Calendars>>Calendars, there if you want to sync Calendars, but you won't sync your Work Calendars, unmark Work. It will private your Work Calendars just with your iPhone device.
    3o: General settings of your Calendars: Settings>>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>>Calendars, there you can setthe period of events you want to sync and set your Standard Calendar.
    Hope it will be helpful

  • How to manage two viewstacks with one linkbar?

    hello all,
    I currently am creating my website utilizing flex and have come across a roadblock.  I need a single linkbar to manage two viewstacks but cannot figure out how to do this so far.  i have tried using both id's in the dataProvider but the only one it manages is the last input.  please advise how to do this or another way in which i can accomplish what i am trying to do.
    for your information:  one viewstack will be for the pages of the site and the other will be for banners on each page.  I cannot put the banners in the viewstack because they will be larger than the pages
    here is some of the code:
    <mx:LinkBar x="10" y="116" dataProvider="{body, ads}" fontSize="18" height="29">
    </mx:LinkBar>
    when i run the application i do not receive any errors however the only viewstack that changes is the ads or vice versa if i have body last.
