HT3529 My iPhone and my childrens iPods are both linked to the same Apple ID. unfortunately, iMessages sent to me are now appearing on my childrens screens. Some of which are inappropriate. Please advise how I can rectify this???

How can I stop the iMessages I recieve to my iPhone showing up on my childrens iPods?
We all use the same Apple ID and they use iMessage.
Thanks for your help in advance

best thing would be to turn imessage off on their device
also you can go into settings, imessage on theire device, go into send and receive and uncheck your phone number (on their ipods) that way if a message is adressed to your phone number, they will not get it

HT3529 Do all of my devices have to be linked to the same apple ID for imessages?

I have an iPad, my wife has an iPod touch and my son has an iPod touch. We all use the same apple ID so we can access all purchases and apps. Is it possible to have different accounts for imessages so we can use them for this pupose individually. If so could someone please provide a step by step process for doing this - I am a novice and would appreciate any advice. Cheers

Yoy don't absolutely have to set up different Apple ID's on each decice in order to use iMessages. You can share an Apple ID on multiple devices and set up iMessages for the one Apple ID, but then you need to associate different email addresses on the other devices at which all of your family members can be reached.
Take a look at this article.

FYI, this is a forum for storage and sharing...photoshop.com and revel. If you have acrobat issues you might want to make a note of the other forums:
http://forums.adobe.com shows a list of all of them, and specifically http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat this one for Acrobat
But, since I have had this same issue myself...
On Windows, locate your pdf document. Right click it and select "open with". Select Adobe Acrobat. That should do it. On MAC, I'm not sure but I'm guessing there is a similar setting.
Good luck.

HT201274 I am unable to transfer my songs from my ipad to my iPhone even though they are both registered to the same apple Id

How are you trying to accomplish this? You can't transfer media directly from one iDevice to another. You should be transferring your purchased items to your iTunes library on the computer you sync them with, then syncing them from there.
You should be able to re-download media from the iTunes store using the same Apple ID used to purchase it to begin with.

I own a ipad mini and a iPod touch , both configured on the same apple account, how do I ensure that my data on the ipad mail,notes,pics etc is not visible/accessible on the ipod

I own a ipad mini and a iPod touch both configured on the same id
How do I ensure that my data on the ipad mail,notes,pics etc is not visible/accessible on the iPod touch when the iPod is connected to a wi fi connection

Mail: do not have the same account loaded onto the two devices.
Photos: go into Settings->Photos & Camera->and turn off photo stream.
everything else, sign out of the Apple ID on the device you dont want to be visible.
good luck

HT204053 I have 5 apple devices (3 iPads and 1 iPhone 3 and 1 iPhone 4s). They are all registered to the same Apple ID but used by different people in my family. If one of us gets a new ID, does that mean we can't access purchases already made?

Help appreciated.... Bascially 2 of the devices (an IPad and the iPhone 3) are used by me and the others by my wife, son and daughter. They all sync to the same iTunes library so I am thinking that if the other 3 get their own apple IDs, they will not be able to access the existing library.
Please note that though a fan of apple stuff, I am utterely useless at using them so I am sorry if my question is naieve or ill informed!
Thanks in advance for help.

You can all have independent AppleIDs for iCloud or iMessage etc, but share the same one for iTunes Store / AppStore purchases.

We have down loaded latest software for the ipod touch and now can't open up any Apps previously held on the Ipod touch. please advise how we can restore this without losing all the apps??

You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can transfer other stuff by using the third-part programs discussed in this previous discussion:
Best iPod to PC
If you previously synced to another computer and do not have the backup files you will lose your app data. You will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod and then sync to the new computer.

In Pages 09 we can do Mail Merge and Import Styles from a document. Can someone please explain how we can do this with the new version of Pages 5.1. Even Apple solutions are only valid for Pages Version 09. What a DOWN GRADE!

…and the other 98 missing features.
Just use Pages '09, which should be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

HT201363 My iPhone, iPad and iPod are all associated with the same Apple ID. How can I remove the iPod and associate it with a new Apple ID without affecting the data on the other devices (note: there is no data on the iPod I want to keep)?

Very simple. Turn off Find my iDevice, then Tap Settings, General, Erase, Erase all content and settings.

Your contacts are helpd on the server, so if you sign out from your iCloud account and sign into another one they will disappear. If you sign back into the original account they will reappear.

I just got a new iphone and we are hooked up to the same apple ID in this family, and his Ipad Have been receiving my texts. How can I fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages.

TS3274 Could any IPAD USER please advise how I can go back to the Itunes store/library from the movie, music, etc. page? Only the options for movie/tv/music etc show at the bottom but nothing that will take me back to the side bar. PLEASE HELP, THANKS?

Could any IPAD User please advise how I can go back to the Itunes/Library/Devices side bar from the music, tv, movies pages? The only thing that shows at the bottom are the selections for music/movies/ etc. Thanks

You don't get a sidebar in the iTunes app on the iPad. Your downloaded and synced music, audiobooks and audio podcasts will be in the Music app and your videos and TV shows will be in the Videos app - the iTunes app on the iPad is just the iTunes store.

I have 2 iPhones - one for personal use and one for work. They are currently connected with the same Apple ID. I would like to separate the two accounts. Does anybody know how to do this?

Just create a new AppleID for your work.
As Allan suggested, items purchased on one iTunes account cannot be moved to the other account.
However, you can put items purchased on on account onto the other iPhone.
