HT204053 Using different Apple ID's.  One for iCloud the other for purchase.

I created an Apple ID for iCloud and sut up my husbands Apple ID for purchase.  When I set up my husbands iPhone I used his Apple ID for both.  Why did all of my contacts upload to his phone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
I am not 100% sure exactly what you are saying about how are you set things up. However, what you basically need to do is both operate separate iCloud accounts and share the same iTunes account.
Your iCloud account is for mail, contacts and calendars etc which you will want to be separate, your iTunes account is for your purchases.

  • TS3510 I have 3 different apple devices using the same Apple ID and would like to use FaceTime to call from one device to the other.  Do I need a different Apple ID for one of the devices in order to do that?

    I have 3 different apple devices (iPod Touch, iPad and MacBook Pro) using the same Apple ID and would like to use FaceTime to call from one device to the other.  Do I need a different Apple ID for one of the devices in order to do that?

    I found this on a related question in the Community:
    Yes you can do it. I do it with 4 different devices all using the same Apple ID.
    You need to associate different email addresses for each device in order to use those email addresses as the "contact at" email address. The reason the calls are dropping on you now is that what you are trying to do is like calling yourself on your own phone.
    You can also create new iCloud accounts on each device simply to use for FaceTime, but I'm guessing that the users of the other two devices have their own email addresses which will make this work for you quite easily.
    Take a look at this for more information.
    The seems to go against what Gail said and the issue you raised about buying dup apps was my first concern.  If this other post is correct, how to I set a different "contact at" in the iPod Touch?

  • HT204053 I cannot update my apps on my iPhone. I have 2 email addresses and I now realize I changed my Apple ID from one email to the other. Now I cannot update on my iPhone because it is associated with the original email address. Help?

    I cannot update my apps on my iPhone 3. I think it's because I've discovered I have 2 Apple ID's, the original one for iTunes from 2009, and another one I used more recently. I think I must have changed my Apple ID to the more recent email, but my iPhone does not accept any password for the new ID. I have tried changing back but cannot. I have reset passowrds on both ID's 6 or 7 times, but that does not work either. I read I cannot undo an Apple ID, so I have 2, but they are mixed up. Help?

    Did you purchase or download the apps with your old ID?  Apps are tied to the ID that is was purchased from.
    If it is a new app you bought with your new ID, you can go into settings - appstore- apple id and then log out.

  • How do I change my iCloud Apple ID from one account to the other?

    I have two Apple IDs. I want to rationalise iCloud on my devices, but on my iPad I am signed in with one ID and on the iPhone and Mac it is the other. I want to sign in with the other ID on the iPad as well, but I can't find a way short of deleting the account. Do I 'Delete account' on the iPad? WIll I lose my contacts etc? It's giving me that warning. And will it delete that entire Apple ID, or just its connection to iCloud?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    When you delete the account from your device, you will be given the opportunity to save Safari data, reminders, calendars and contacts to your device, which you can later merge with the other account once you login.
    You won't be able to save your photo stream photos in the same way, so if you have any photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll, you should move them there before you delete your account.
    Your iWork documents can be saved to iTunes on your device, but if you have them on a Mac they would be much easier to save to your desktop there. You can move them back after you switch.
    Notes can be shared to messages or mail and copy and pasted back after the switch. Although if you have a Mac, you may find it easier to do there. You could also use a temporary secondary account (see last item) to log into both accounts and copy and paste directly into your other account.
    You can set up Mail forwarding at iCloud.com mail preferences (little gear icon-bottom left) to receive mail from your old address to your new one.
    As an alternative to just switching, you might consider switching and adding your previous account back as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. You would still need to move your photos and iWork documents and save your safari data, but you'd have access to your old mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.

  • HT204074 So your telling me that me and my brother (using different apple IDs on one computer) have to alternate every 90 days on backing up our purchases from an Iphone.

    Trying to transfer the purchases from my iPhone to iTunes but my brother just did the same last week so it's saying i have to wait 84 days to back up purchases. Any ways around this? After using apple products for 10+ years, if i have to deal with this I won't be buying an iPhone 5 in a few months. because in the end the only think keeping me with the 4S was the fact that i already had a large music library but at this point my recent purchases a fairly useless for the next 3 months

    Correct.  You can only redownlaod previous purchases from one account every 90 days.
    You can still transfer them from your iphone ipod.  File>Transfer Purchases

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add a new account by tapping the "create Apple ID" button. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app?

    ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app file not overwrite the previous one at itunes?

    In my opinion it is best to use one Apple ID on your computer and iPad. Using multiple IDs causes confusion.
    I also suggest that each person with their own iOS device have their own unique Apple ID. On the computer create different accounts for each user so that iTunes on each account can be associated with the correct Apple ID.

  • HT204053 Can I have 2 different iTunes accounts? One for UK and one for US?

    Can I have 2 different iTunes accounts? One for UK and one for US?

    Assuming you are physically present in each of those countries when you wish to use the iTunes Store for that country, and that you have a payment method issued in each country with a valid billing or mailing address in that country, then yes. You'll need two Apple IDs, which will require two email addresses.

  • I have a game but it only for one apple id and one divece but someone i dont know id play that game and using my apple id and i want to know if u can block them from using ur apple id and also erase all the games they downlode with the apple id

    There probably is, but it requires that you be able to use punctuation and write in sentences so that we can understand exactly what you want.
    You can block others from using your Apple ID by changing your password.  There is no way to erase what was already downloaded on to someone else's device, for obvious reasons,

  • I have 1Mac computer running Lion. Can I set up 'find my iPhone' and 'find my iPad' if both those devices use different Apple ID's than the Mac does? As in can I set up 'find device' for my husband's iPhone and my daughters iPad?

    No, but you can log into any of their accounts on your computer at iCloud.com and see their devices.

    How do I use two different apple IDs on one itunes?

    This would be a violation of the terms of use of the itunes store and could result in the loss of your account.
    You cannot use the U.K. itunes store unless you are in the U.K

  • What is the best way for sharing an iPad with 2 iPhones using different Apple acount ?

    What is the best way for sharing an iPad with 2 iPhones using different Apple acount ?

    You can't share with other devices if you are using different Apple ID's and iTunes account on them. You can only share if you use the same ID.

  • How can I use different iTunes accounts on one iPad?

    How can I use different iTunes accounts on one iPad?

    You can't, well not easily anyway.  The iPad is not meant as a multi account device. 
    You can Sign Out of your iTunes account in Settings->iTunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out
    However if you sign in with another ID and then download past purchases with it you will lock out the previous ID for 90 days. Which means it will not be able to be used on the iPad for 90 days. 

  • HT1206 I buy apps in my iPhone using different Apple IDs. Which Apple ID should I use to authorize the computer when synchronizing iPhone with iTunes?

    I buy apps in my iPhone using different Apple ID. Which Apple ID should I use to authorize the computer when sync iPhone with iTunes?

    Hi again,
    After a little further research, it appears that you would need to create separate iTunes libraries in order to be able to continue to purchase and download previously purchased items on the same computer, for two different Apple IDs. Sorry - but my husband and I have had the library we sync with authorized for so long, that we have not run into this issue, but it appears that you will get an warning when you try to authorize the second ID on the same computer, indicating that another ID is already associated with it.
    So, you will probably have to set up separate iTunes libraries for each ID:
