Sign in with separate ID for each device in Settings>iCloud, Settings>iMessage and Settings> FaceTime.
Sign in with your ID for all devices in Settings>iTunes and App Stores.

  • HT204053 for ipad2 Using the same Apple ID for Store purchases and iCloud (recommended) yes/

    hi i am shahram i have ipad2 for ipad 2 using the same apple iD for store purchases and iCloud(recommended) yes or no?

    That's what Apple recommend, it's also how I have mine set up. Although it isn't much of a problem to use a different account (ID) for each service.

  • HT204053 I have a different Apple ID for store purchases and ICloud. Unfortunately my ICloud ID is set to an email I no longer use. I want to change my ICloud ID to match my Store ID but I cannot seem to find the way to do that. How can I update my ICloud

    I am trying to update my Apple ID for my ICloud Account. For some reason, when my IPad updated the OS it put on an old email address and Apple ID to my ICloud account and now I can no longer participate in the ICloud because I cannot remember my password and have no way of retreiving it because my old email account is closed.
    Very frustrating! How can I fix this?

    If you know the answers to your security questions, you should be able to change your password without using email authentication (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36).  If you don't, you may be out of luck.

    I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id

    I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
    also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
    I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update.

  • HT204053 i used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are on both phones how do i fix this.  I dont need his contacts on my phone and the other way also.  Should i create a different icloud account for his phone?

    I used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are together.  How do I undo this?  Do i create him a different icloud account? 

    Yes, start with deleting your account on his device:
    (Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)
    In the next step, create a new account on his device:
    (Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)

  • HT204053 how many devices can be authorized to use the same apple id for itunes purchasing

    I currently have 2 pc's, 1 macbook, and 3 iphones under same apple id.  We purchase songs from iturns and share them between us.  Is there a limit to how many can be authorized.  I have just purchased another macbook for my daughter and wish to add that to this account also.

  • How to sync apps to other iPhone, logged into Mac as another user, with same Apple ID for Store.

    Hi,
    I'll try to be brief.
    Synced my (old) iPhone 4 to my iTunes library, as normal.
    Restored contents of iTunes library to my new iPhone 5.  Everything worked fine here.
    Performed full factory reset of iPhone 4 before allocating for my wife's use.
    Created a new user account on my iMac for my wife (to keep things separate).
    Created a new Apple ID specifically for my wife, so her iMessages, Contacts, Calendar etc. are all separate from mine.
    Moved iTunes library to area that is common to both users (Can't remember exactly, it's something under /users/Shared, I think.  I followed a post in these forums.)
    Pointed my iTunes library to this location (logged in as me).  My iTunes library works fine.
    Pointed my wife's iTunes library to this location (logged in as my wife).
    Set my wife's iTunes to use the same Apple ID as I use in the iTunes Store.  Again, I followed a forum posting.  The reason that I did this was to allow me sync purchased content to both iPhones.
    Manually imported music folders from under /users/Shared into my wife's iTunes library.  (This music syncs successfully with my wife's/my old iPhone 4.)
    However, the problem is that all the Apps that I 'purchased' (inc. free apps) and downloaded from the iTunes Store to my iTunes library previously do not appear in my wife's iTunes library (Apps tab) and do not sync to her iPhone 4.When I go to the iTunes Store, apps that I have previously purchased with my Apple ID appear with a 'Download' button underneath, as opposed to 'Purchase' or 'Install'—this confirms that by using my Apple ID, my wife's iTunes library knows what purchases I've made.  This is as you would expect.
    Can anyone explain why the apps do not appear in my wife's iTunes' App tab?
    Anyone got a solution?
    I thought I was going about things the right way by setting her up as a separate user on my iMac, creating her own Apple ID for everything except iTunes Store purchases, and using my Apple ID for connecting to the iTunes Store.
    Apologies that I don't have the links to the relevant forum postings that I used as my guides.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Tx.

    I have read wjosten's post on this thread but I don't think that is exactly the scenario I'm describing, nor is it what I'd like to have to do (sign my wife out, sign me in transfer/update apps, sign me out, sign me in).
    That's the whole reason that I've configured her iTunes library to use my Apple ID.  It should, I would have hoped, allow the apps bought on my Apple ID (that we both use in our respective iTunes libraries) to seamlessly, automatically appear in her iTunes library, and update when appropriate, for that matter.

  • Multiple Macs using same Apple ID for iTunes

    I have two macs, and I've been trying to download itunes purchased content onto one that I purchased on the other. I'm using the same Apple ID for iTunes access on both, but now it won't let me download, giving me that infuriating message about only being able to associate a device with one Apple ID over a three month period. I've neved used any other Apple ID for this, so I'm very confused about what could be happening. Only started after "upgrading" to iOS5 and iCloud.

    iTunes Match is associated with only one Apple ID and cannot be shared across Apple IDs. For your wife to make use of iTunes Match and see the music in the cloud she must login to your Apple ID on the iTunes Store and she will have to stay logged in. This may cause difficulty when updating apps purchased with her Apple ID.
    Also keep in mind that a computer can only be associated with one Apple ID for iTunes Match, automatic downloads and re-downloading of content once every 90 days: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.

  • I can't download any app into my iPAD, but I have no problem downloading app into my iPhone. Using same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone.

    HELP!
    I couldn't download any app into my iPAD. Puzzled by this strange condition, I tried downloading the same chosen app into my iPhone. It worked!
    I use the same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone. So why is it not working for my iPad? Previously, both devices were working fine!
    I hope that somebody can help me solve this problem.

    Do the apps show as installed on the Purchased tab in the App Store app ? If they show as installed, then have you got any restrictions set on Settings > General > Restrictions (e.g. Allowed Content > Apps) that might be hiding them ?
    You could try closing the App Store app completely and then seeing if it downloads after you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e.not with the App Store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    You could also try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    And try logging out, and then back in, with your iTunes account : Settings > Store

  • Can i use the same apple id for my irish and english iphone?

    I currently use two different Apple IDs on my Irish and English Iphones. Can I use the same Apple ID for both to make it easier to syn onto my macbook?

    Yes, you can use your Apple ID with any Apple product or service worldwide, no matter the language or country, but your account can only be in one iTunes Store country at a time.

  • Can I use the same apple ID for my personal and work phones?

    I have a personal iPhone (AT&T) and am getting one issued through work (Verizon). Am I able to use the same Apple ID for both phones?

    In theory, yes. You had best ask your IT department, though... or whoever is issuing the phone to you. They may have policies as to what is and is not allowed to be done on company owned phones.

  • I am using the same Apple id for my iPhone and iPad! Does this cause a problem with apps?

    I Was told I should use a whole different I'd with my iPad because if I have both my phone and iPad with the same Apple id it will cause conflict with the apps on each of them. Does this happen?

    No. I've been using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPad for years without problems. If fact, if both devices are yours and you use both devices having the same Apple ID on each of them is preferable.

    If you want them to have separate contacts and Calendars and some other things
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
