HT204053 We have two Iphones but the same Apple ID and I want to separate them as my sons contacts/games all merged on mine when I turned on Icloud

We have 2 iphones and one apple id- now my sons contacts are on my phone and we need to separate them - how do we do that

Sure, just create another Apple ID & use that for iMessage:

  • I have two phones under the same apple ID and I want to put them on two separate apple IDs. how do I do this?

    I have two phones under the same apple ID and I want to put them on separate apple IDs, how do I do this??

    If you sign out of an Apple ID under Settings > iCloud, you should be prompted for an option to 'Keep on my iPhone' in regards to Contacts and other related data.  Then, when signing in with another Apple ID on that same iPhone, you should be prompted to 'Merge'.  If you do both, then you won't lose any Contacts, and the iCloud Contacts will then be merged into the new Apple ID iCloud, but also will stay on the old Apple ID iCloud.
    In the future, it might be best to post your own question thread instead of bumping a thread that is over two years old.

  • HT5622 I have two iPhones using the same Apple ID. I want to change the ID on one of the phones without changing the other. Can it be done without affecting the other devices that use the ID.

    How can I change the Apple ID on one phone but the other. Right now they both use the same ID.

    Sure.
    For the iTunes/App store...Settings>iTunes/App Store...tap the ID shown, sign out...now, sign back in with the ID you want to use. Be aware, any apps obtained with the old ID can only be updated using that ID, as all apps are forever tied to the ID used to obtain them.
    Fir iCloud: Settings>iCloud...turn everything off, including Find My Phone. For Contacts/Calendars, you'll be prompted to keep the data on the phone or delete it...your choice. Then, scroll down, Delete Account. Now, set everything back up using the new ID.
    This won't affect any data stored at iCloud.com, or any other devices.

  • I have two iPhones with the same apple ID, can I change one?

    I have two iphones with the same Apple ID. Can I cange one?

    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out...
    Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

  • HT5622 We have two iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself

    My son and I both have iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself from finding out what he is up to during Freshers week!

    You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.

  • I have two iphones sharing the same e-mail and if one deletes an incoming email, it is deleted from the other iphone.  How can I stop that?

    I have two Iphones that share the same email.  we got new 4s phones.  Now if one person checks/deletes email, it does not show up on the other phone
    and it is taken off the server.
    How can I fix that?
    I want it to go to both phones and to remain on the server even if I delete it off my phone.
    Thanks

    You must be using a POP3 account like verizon.net
    using IMAP like gmail will help some of your problem, not all...
    even on IMAP accounts once one person checks the email it will not show as a "new" message anymore... and if deleted it will still be gone from both phones...
    There are settings you can change in the advanced section of the IMAP account settings that designate the phone NOT to delete messages at all as well... thought this is also an option on POP3 account settings too.

  • I have two ipads with the same apple id but my 3 year old uses one of them, how do i update hers witht he apps she can use instead of everything that is on min as well?

    I have two ipads using the same apple id.  My 3 year old uses one to play learning games.  How do I set them up so my apps arent displayed on her ipad?

    When you connect that iPad to iTUnes, go to the summary page and scroll down, there should be a box saying 'automatically update' or something to that effect. De select that.
    With automatically update on, what you buy on one goes onto the other. but with that box off you can choose.
    On the iPad itself, it's under
    Settings
    iTUnes and App Stores
    and then you can choose what you want automatically updated between the two devices.

  • I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends.  She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it

    I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends.  She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it.  Really need some help.  Shouldnt her apps and details be saved online in the itunes store?  Even her apps wont appear

    If you create an Apple ID for your daughter, signing out of the existing Apple ID with the iTunes & App Store on her iPhone will not change anything on your iPhone.
    All apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
    If she starts using her Apple ID to download apps, when there is an app update for an app on her iPhone that was downloaded with the current shared Apple ID, she will need to use that Apple ID and password to download the app updates.

    I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • HT3529 will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

    will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

    It will. If the two phones are used by two different people, however, you will need to implement some careful management of your iMessage settings to ensure that you don't each receive each-other's messages. It is a much safer option to use different Apple IDs for each individual.
    On iOS devices, you are able to use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and Facetime, iCloud, and the iTunes and App Stores.
