Should my wife and I use the same Apple account or separate accounts?

Should my wife and I use the same account or our own accounts?
We each have our own iPhones and we share one iPad.
We have one computer where we use iTunes (our main desktop at home).
On iTunes on our computer, sometimes we are logged into my wife's iTunes account and sometimes we are logged into mine.
My iPhone was set up with my account and my wife’s was set up with her account.
My wife's iPad is set up with her account (but it seems like it is pretty easy to log out and then log in with my account if I want, I think).
Since we log into our respective accounts on iTunes and have our own accounts for our iOS devices, we purchase music, games, etc. on both accounts.
If we continue with our current method of different accounts, I am worried that our music, games etc. will be separated so that we won't be able to access them all from each of our devices. For example, I'm thinking of setting up that Home Sharing thing where you can use your iOS device to stream off your computer's iTunes but I think it only streams off the iTunes account you are currently signed into.
Is this a good idea or should we just pick one of our accounts and use it exclusively?
If we just use one account, should our phones both be signed in / started up with that one account?
Thanks for any info.

HT204053 my wife and I use the same account but want to change that to where we have our own account. How do we do that without loosing our apps and music?

My wife and I use the same app store account, but we would like to have our own separate accounts. How can we do this and not loose our own personal apps. and music.

One account keeps purchased media, the other will have to re purchase.

Nothing keeps you from handing it "back and forth" to share. I do this all the time on our couch with my Wife's iPad...
I think your quesiton revolves around having your own bookmarks and other data/info on the device.
The iPad is meant to be a "single user device"; there isn't a login/logout to differenciate one user from another. "The iPad isn't a computer".. ;-)
But, that being said, there are lots of ways to share the iPad/iOS environment. Many apps, such as Facebook, let you login and out.. so, while you share the same app, each of your login is different.
For bookmarks and notepad it is a little trickier.. You can each use a different browser (so all of your bookmarks are complerety seperate.)
In some cases I would sugest a couple get a $900 Macbook Air rather than an iPad if this sharing won't work. "Why can't I log in and out of and iPad?". I think that the fact that it doesn't gives the iPad many adantages over a computer.
If you have more specific questions pleaser ask away. Just like you share the kitchen table and many other things around your household, there are many ways to make this work! ;-)

Hello eagjdw
You can keep the one Apple ID for purchases and then create another one for a personal account for contacts and calendars. The article below will assist further

HT204053 Can my wife and I use the same apple ID?

Can my wife and I use the same Apple ID?

You can certainly use the same ID for an itunes store account to share purchased items. However for icloud, it's designed so that each account pertains to one user for each of his/her devices. The main purpose of icloud is syncing and backups of iOS devices. Do you really want to have the same email account, same contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc? Usually a couple needs to have separate icloud accounts. They can share calenders if they want.
The danger of two users using one account is if one user edits or deletes (on purpose or accidentally) data, that will propagate to the other user's devices.

Hi, i have an iphone5 with one icloud ID, and a IPad2 with another Icloud Id, i want to unify both ID, how can I do?

Hi, i have an iphone5 with one icloud ID, and a IPad2 with another Icloud Id, i want to unify both ID, how can I do?

Use the same ID on both. Be advised that downloads are forever tied
to the AppleID used to obtain them, and items from one ID cannot
be transferred to another ID.
Use the ID with the most items you want to keep. Anything from the other
ID will have to be redownloaded with the preferred ID (if purchased, they
will have to be paid for again).

My wife and I use the same apple id. My computer shows up in her home sharing library but hers won't show up on mine. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

My daughter and i use the same icloud account and apple account but now on my iphone and her ipod we have each others contacts. i want to delete her contacts on my iphone without losing my contacts on my phone or her contacts on her ipod. I

My daughter and i share the same Apple ID account and I cloud account but I just unwittingly merged them on my Iphone 5s. Now i have all her contacts and my own. I want to delete hers from my phone and stop from her receiving my emails and my contacts. Can i fix both problems without erasing my contacts on my phone and her contacts from her ipod?

Hi,
I got my phone a couple of years ago and when it came in the mail, I wasn't home so my brother decided to set up my iPhone for me because he was so desperate to check the phone out. My iCloud account has been his account and it's been set up under his e-mail since the day I got my phone. Once he bought an iPhone, he set it up under the same e-mail account and now we share it. It's so annoying because all of my pictures and stuff are stored in my iCloud, but that's under his e-mail and I really want a new iCloud account but I want to transfer all of my iCloud information and pictures to my e-mail without losing them. Randomly, my brother has been receiving some of my facetime calls and I even turned it off so that it is only set on my device. I didn't even know he received any of my facetime calls until the other day when my friend told me. Now, our contacts are shared and I don't want that either. At one point during the summer, he was receiving my text messages as well. I turned all of those off under settings so they wouldn't be shared on his device, but I need to find a way to carry my iCloud stuff and set it up in a my own completely separate account. Please, please help me. I really am getting so frustrated with it and neither of us want to delete our accounts because we don't want to lose our iCloud stuff.

HT4436 How do I set up a separate iCloud account ?, at the moment my wife and myself share the same iCloud account, even though we have different iTunes accounts on the computer.

I'd like to have separate iCloud accounts for myself and my wife, at the moment any photos, calendars etc transfer to our iPhones & iPads from each other. I'd rather not have this as its a nuisance when we receive items that one of us doesn't want!.

(Possible solution found) Can my wife and I use the same Lion DL even with two separate Apple IDs?

EDIT: Sorry; original search terms didn't give me my answer. I think I found a solution though. Will update whether it works out.
My wife and I each have our own MBPs, and we each have our own Apple IDs that pre-existed our marriage. Apple doesn't make it easy to have one family account with subaccounts managed underneath this, and we don't want each others iTunes purchases populating our libraries.
Is it possible for me to DL and install Lion with my Apple ID, copy it to hers, and install it there with my same info yet still allow her to use her own ID for other things? Or will we need separate IDs for each download?

HT204053 My wife and I shared the same AppleID but want to break these apart. We set up a new AppleID for her but can't get this changed on the phone. How do we switch her AppleID default on her iphone 4?

My wife and I shared the same AppleID but now want to break these apart into separate accounts. I have set up a new appleid for her and also set up on line. However, I can't figure out how to change this on her iphone4. I have looked at all of the General settings but need guidance. When I use the phone to try to purchase songs from itunes, it reverts to the old appleID.
Any suggestions?

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 it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
