HT4859 If I have three devices backed up to iCloud with the same apple Id can I delete two of them and not lose it
I share the same apple Id with my two girls and my iPhone tells me my iCloud storage is almost full. When I go to manage my storage my girls iPods show up. If I delete them will they lose their iCloud storage
Hi...
If you delete the backups it will not delete any content from their device, however the data will be removed from iCloud.
It will also prevent the devices from backing up to iCloud in future, unless this is re-enabled.

I have 2 Iphone 4s's with the same apple id can I delete 1 without it effecting the other
Hi, Ihave 2 iphone 4s's with the same apple id, can I delete 1 of them without it affecting the other phone?
You should probably tell us exactly what you are trying to accomplish. Carolyn's answer is correct as always, but here's a small clarification:
You could, for example, sync and back up one of the iPhones using iTunes on your computer. Then you might take one of the iPhones and do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
Although that action would cleanse all data off that specific iPhone, the data should remain on your iTunes backup and I believe it would remain on the other iPhone.
There is a difference between specifically deleting apps, messages, etc. on an iPhone versus resetting and cleansing an iPhone. -
I can't update software because a message appears that I have to log with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase them: iMovie, Garage Band, iPhoto, but those apps came with OSX Lion.

HT204053 Can I back up two computers to iCloud with the same Apple ID and not lose any data?
Hi. I have a macbook air which is all set to back up on iCloud.
My iMac has much more data and I wish to set it up as well.
Will iCloud know these are two different computers or will it overwrite one with the other's data?
I guess the main question is, do I need two Apple IDs and should I treat them as two separate accounts.
Many thanks.Hi...
If you delete the backups it will not delete any content from their device, however the data will be removed from iCloud.

I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.
Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:
Using Game Center
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
Game Center settings - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9a13d039
Game Center settings
Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
Allow invites
Let nearby players find you
Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
Cheers,

I have an app called cartoon HD on my iphone and this app is no longer available I am about to buy an ipad, if I back this up with the same Apple ID will it share the app to the iPad?
You can copy the app to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the phone to it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - an actual backup (either on your computer's iTunes or to the cloud) doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content and settings, for a restore to work the app needs to be either in your computer's iTunes library (for and iTunes backup/restore) or still in the store (for an iCloud backup/restore). Or you could just sync the app from your computer's iTunes (which will only install the app, not any previous content)

I have multiple Apple devices using the same Apple ID for all devices. I work in the Middle East and my wife is in Russia. I would like to Facetime between my different devices. Is this possible with all devices registered with the same Apple ID. It is just easier for find my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air and for purchasing Apps. Is this possible and how do I set it up.
Create Apple IDs for everyone individually and use that in Settings > Facetime, Settings > Messages, Settings > Game Center but keep the Apple ID used for app and content purchases in Settings > iTunes and App Stores

We have both a Iphone 4s and a 4th Generation Ipod Touch both with the latest available IOS software on them. Since the Ipod touch was given to a preteen for Christmas and they aren't old enough to have their own email account or apple id 11 years old going on 12, is it possible to have a different displayed name for each device if they are both signed in with the same apple ID and not interfere with each others device in doing so?
@pdroth. Displayed name as in when you sign up for a apple id you sign up with email and a screen name(this is your display name). If you are using any apple device as like you do with an android device you have to sign in with either your google acct for android or apple id for a apple product. If one apple product is utilizing that apple id already aka Iphone and you can't set up a account for your child because of his or her age because of age restrictions, both devices will use the same info. So for instance when using things like facetime instead of seeing jane doe calling jane doe(basically making it show name of other person using your account instead of seeing your own name) can you make on jane doe and one john doe using the same apple id just different outgoing display name. Hopefully this helps.

if i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?
Yes, but if you want these devices to have complete capability of calling each other they each must have their own separate, individual e mail address. If they don't have individual e mail addresses, the i phones will be able to call each other because you'll be using their individual phone numbers -- the Mac mini will be able to call the i phones, but, the iphones will not be able to call the Mac mini. This is because the iphones will be using the mini's e- mail address to make the call, and if they have the same e mail address, they will think they are calling themselves, so the call will not connect.
So, the way I see it is, if you keep all of the email addresses the same, the only thing you'll loose is the ability of the iphones to call the mini.
EDIT: Thinking about it, my first sentence needs to be modified. Your iphones can share an email address but it must be different from the Mac mini address.
This isn't rocket science, but it can make your head spin. LOL -
how do i get deleted contacts back ? I just added icloud to two phones with the same apple id
You may have to restore to your latest sync. That's my only solution to your problem. If this didn't help, then I suggest you to visit the closest Apple store and get Genius for help.
