HT5622 Can you have multiple apple ids and all share the same apps and music?

I have multiple devices, iphone 5s (myself), mini ipad (son), 5th generation ipod (daughter). When I receive imessages they are going to the other devices and not my phone. Is this because I have all devices set up on the same Apple User ID or am I missing something in Settings that needs to be turned on/off? I have all devices under the same User ID to control the purchases. Now I'm thinking maybe each device needs to have it's own User ID and if I switch them now, will we all still share the same apps and music? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Wouldn't you only need to create a new apple ID and put that on your phone instead of your old apple ID that is merged?

  • HT204053 Can you have multiple apple ids that access one itune account??

    I need to know if I can have multiple Apple Ids attached to one itunes account.  Trying to set facetime up on these separate devices and it keeps failing.  Any help would be appreciated.  I tried to add additional emails, but I all I get is verifying and it never verifies it.

    yes you can still sync all the devices on itunes using one master itunes/appleID account.
    Music:
    If you want to select specific playlists for your kids, DON'T enable iTunes Match on their devices, otherwise they will get ALL the playlists on their devices (learned that the hard way)
    If you have wi-fi synced enabled that should still work.
    Apps:
    I manually select which apps they get on their devices using itunes. It only changes when they re-sync.
    Don't enable AUTO downloads on their devices for Apps or Music purchases.
    Since I also have young kids using these devices:
    I have restrictions setup on their devices. I don't allow them to install/delete apps, nor do I allow them to make any account changes on their devices. This way their devices stay in order and get backed up to icloud. I can easily restore their devices if I needed too.
    Once in a while I will disable the restrictions so I can update all their apps.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT201335 In my house there are 3 iPads.  Can you have multiple Apple IDs set up to work with the Apple TV?  Obviously one at a time.

      Is it possible to have Apple TV device "remember" all three ID's?  If so how does one set that up?

    At any time, you can go in the settings in the iTunes Store section to setup a different account.  This will only have to do with rental to be charge to a different account and photostream.

  • Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?

    Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?
    If so do you know how to do it?

    It depends on what you want to do.
    You could, for example, have one AppleID for iCloud backup [and therefore message syncing, notes syncing, etc] and a second one for iTunes [music, iBooks, etc].
    But if you are looking for a way to flip everything between different appleIDs, then no.

    Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.

  • HT204053 can you have multiple apple id's for the family but we all use the same iCloud?

    Can you have multiple apple id's for the family members but we all us the same iCloud account?

    You'll have to have an ID you all share in order to have a shared iCloud account. It would be sensible for each person to have their own ID and their own iCloud account for email and their own data (each would be on their own computer/iOS device or user account on a Mac) and then have a common account which everyone would sign into in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to access shared data.
    You don't want to be all using the email in a common account - if people are using email aliases remember these can't be detached from the account and transferred to another one. Having all your emails mixed up together can be somewhat impracticable.

  • Can you have two apple ids on one mac?

    Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud.  Is this possible?

    No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
    If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
    1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
    2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
    On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
    On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
    3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

  • HT4759 Can you have more than one computer linked to the same icloud account?

    Can you have more than one computer linked to the same icloud account?  If so how do you add a computer?

    Yes, of course - that's the whole point, to provide syncing of data such as calendars, contacts and email between computers and iOS devices. Having got iCloud up and running on one computer, simply sign all other devices in at System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud with the same login. (Lion 10.7.2 and iOS5 are the minimum requirements.)

  • HT2534 can you have more than one itunes account on the same computer?

    can you have more than one itunes account on the same computer?

    Yes. Either create and use separate Windows user accounts, or launch iTunes with the Shift key held down as desired.

  • We have two Apple ID's but share the same computer....that runs Itunes...How do i setup Icloud for ea. user ID?

    We have two Apple ID's but share the same computer....that runs Itunes...How do i setup Icloud for ea. user ID?

    You can't merge Apple IDs.  What you could do is set up your phone to use the same iCloud accout you are using on your Mac.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (Contacts, Calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Now add the iCloud account you set up on your Mac (with the same Apple ID) and turn syncing back on for Calendars, Contacts, etc.  When prompted, you will probably want to choose merge, to merge the data on your phone with the existing data on this iCloud account.

  • Can you pass multiple files to Business Catalyst at the same time?

    I need to pass information from a client. The infromation is split into several files. I can not access the files to combine them to send as one document to BC. Can I send the two files over even though they do not full fill the necessity of all the user information. File 1 is the personal information and has no other details. When this fill crosses over BC accepts with no trouble. When the second file goes across the personal information is not there but the form details are and this file wipesout the DB. Going through debug when the first file executes I see the data on the BC side. When the second file executes the data is all gone. I cannot combine both files to create one document. Files do not have the same number of users so import of file with file helper would not work since it needs to meet certain requirements to process correctly everytime. By combining the two files would give a different number of tabs than what file helper is looking for and by that matter the data may not be in the correct order. Retrieving the data from the file also would not work since I would have to retrieve from both files at the same time and there would be issues if the user does not occur on both files.
    Please help.
    Thank you,
    Carlos

    To save time with videos that are not critical, can you capture one video to Premiere Pro at the same time you are authoring to Encore a previously captured video?
    The short answer is yes.
    I have just done that and I am happy to report that it worked like a charm.
    I captured from a DVCAM tape via firewire using PPro CS6 while authoring a Blu-ray disk in Encore CS6.
    No frames were lost during capture and my test blu-ray project was completed without a hitch.

  • HT2490 Can you have to apple ids on the same MacBook Air?

    You can create a new user for another Apple ID. Open System Preferences > Users and Groups and select + button to create an user. Then, go to  > Log Out and log in the new user

  • Can I have multiple Apple IDs on one email address?

    How do I register for and Apple ID for my husband's ipad when I am using the family email for my own Apple ID?

    An email account can only have one Inbox, and each email account can only be on one iTunes account. I don't use Virgin Media, but some providers allow you to have sub accounts under the main account, or can you create a second Virgin Media account to use on a second iTunes accout ? You can also create free email accound via, for example, http://hotmail.com and http://gmail.com
    But you can use the same iTunes account on more than iPad - all content that you buy/download from the iTunes store is tied to the iTunes account that downloads it, so if you want to have the same apps, music, films etc on both then continuing to have just the one account may be preferable.

  • Can you have multiple signon password failure limits on a same E-Bussiness?

    Hi gentlemen,
    I'm not the DBA of the company that I work for, but what I'm having is a problem that he's not helping me to solve. Another thing, I'm workin in an Oracle 12i E-Bussiness Suite.
    The thing is that the users of multiple plants of a same holding are entering entering their information thru the same site of the Oracle E-Business Suite, because of the configuration of this site the profiles of the users have a SIGNON_PASSWORD_FAILURE_LIMIT of 5. This limit is fine with us if we are speaking of management users, but when we speak of users that work on the plant and are reporting to the ERP is another thing, they must be connected constantly to the Database.
    The problem is that by the decision of the DBA and the Headquarters plenty of the operators that work on a same shift and equal machines share the same user/password on the system, therefore if any of them failes at least five times the password all of the other operators get locked to. This is becoming annoying for us in the plant because we are loosing time, information and efficiency. The fact is that most of the operators don't have full knowledge of the way a computer works, so we can't force on to them a politic of a maximum number of failures, we are trainning them and trying to change their culture but this is not a that comes around in the short term.
    The other problem it's that putting the SIGNON_PASSWORD_FAILURE_LIMIT to 0 or unlimited is a high security risk and it would apply to all the users of the site.
    So my question goes to the following: Is there a way in an E-Bussiness Site to have some users having a limit and others that don't? Can I create two sign on profiles, one with a limit of 5 and the other with a limit of 0, and I just assign some of the users to the first and some to the later? How would I do that? or is it true (as the DBA says) that since I'm working on a Site then I just have to work with one limit for all and I can't do any variations because it always will prevail the SIGNON_PASSWORD_FAILURE_LIMIT and I just can declare one for the hole site? Can I declare a SIGNON_PASSWORD_FAILURE_LIMIT of 0 but thru other privilege, responsability or user specification can I limit the number of failures for a group of users? Is the solution the creation of individual or specific users for each operator, so if one of them failes then the others could work without a problem?
    I'd really appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    César

    You can run multiple instances of IDM with out a problem. Just point them at the same repository and resources etc.. You also have the ability to restrict certain types of processing to specific servers if you need to as well.
