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.

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 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.

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

Create a new Apple ID for the one you want to change.

Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

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.

HT4972 Can you have two iPhones to the one iTunes account? I am overseas and using the old iPhone 4 here, but also have a current iPhone 5.

I have two iPhones, a 5 which I currently use and an old 4 which I use as a second phone as I am overseas. I have connected both to iTunes. Does this cause any problems have two phones on the one iTune account, as far as updates, etc goes?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It won't cause any problem. Moreover, you will be able to share the purchases between both phones and have the same information by using iCloud, so you don't lose anything

Can I have two iPhones on the same iTunes account under the new apple terms?

I have two iPhones (4 & 3GS). Is it possible to have them using the one iTunes account or do they have to have separate accounts? I had heard that there may be a change in the apple terms so that you cannot do this, but not sure if it's true?

You can have as many iPhone and other iDevices as you want associated with your iTunes account.

I have two iphones and the two got sync'd contacts were deleted from 1 phone and now were deleted from other via wireless on icloud the last back up was 2 months ago how do i retrieve and reinstall that backup? or can I do this from an old icloud back up

Hi this is my first time using this service and I am having a huge problem with two of my iphones. I have two phones that were sync'd accidently on itunes and both were sync'd to icloud too apparently. The one phone then deleted some of the contacts - now both phones have lost those contacts. What would be the steps to get the phone contacts (not from the computer) back on one of the iphones. it does show the phone was backed up over two months ago - can I restore to that back up and how? Any help would be very appreciated <")))><

Please read before going through with this procedure.
If you really want your contact back and you did not do another iCloud backap since you deleted some of your contacts, you can do a hard reboot on both devices with iClouded contacts by holding down the home and lock buttons on each of them for 10 seconds ignoring the slide to turn off thing. Make sure you have iCloud contact services off before doing so. You can then go through the whole set up process until you get up to the backup part. You then press to restore from an iCloud backup (make sure you choose the right backup for the right phone). If you didn't make an iCloud backup before the contact incident, you will have to use your two-month-old iTunes backups. Each phone should have their contacts the way they were from your last backup. You then go into Settings>iCloud>and turn off contacts. You then can choose if you want to keep your current contacts or not. Turn this off on both phones just incase you add another iCloud device to the mix later on. Now your contact lists are no longer linked (Caution: side effect may include lack of edit button). You may now add and delete contacts as you please without it happening on your other phone.
Thank you for choosing Apple.

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:

TS3276 It would seem that my Mail password is not my Apple ID password. I thought they would all be the same. I have no idea what my Mail password is and want to change it but can't as I do not know how to reset the Mail password without having my old o

I keep getting asked for my Mail password when I want to send or receive mail in Mail. I do not know what this password is as I thought it was my Apple ID password, but this fails. I have changed that password so many times recently as I thought they were linked (why aren't they?). How do I change my Mail password without having my old one? Are there some security questions I can answer to do this? Heeeeelp please.

Your iCloud password is your Apple ID and password. You must know it since you are posting here.
Have you transfered your MMe account to iCloud? If not, open iCloud in system preferences and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
If you have transfered it to iCloud, do this:
Go to the iCloud icon in System Preferences and open it. Sign out of iCloud.
Open Mail. If the iCloud or MMe account still exists in Mail's preferences under accounts, select the account and delete it. Then sign back into iCloud and choose Mail and any other applications in iCloud that you use. The Mail account should be put into Mail automatically.
Signing out of iCloud should remove the account from Mail and signing back in should put it back. There is no manuel account creation by you when using Apple Mail application.

Resetting username and password, but I have two iPhones using the same username and password. Can I delete the App Store user name on one device without affecting the other phone?

When we bought our daughter her iPhone I thought it would be a great idea for her to use my username and password for her App Store. As she is learning to download and search off apps, it appears that this May not hand been a good idea as the apps I have on MY iPhone, are showing as already downloaded and on our cloud. I'd prefer to change the username on her device, but in looking I am noticing that I will probably be deleting the username and password on both of our devices and then I will have to reset for both of us. Am I correct?

I have 2 iphones, 1 personal and 1 for work under the same apple ID ( dont want 2 IDs) and I'd like to keep them separate from each other.When I receive phone calls and message they both get them and so does apps,how do I break the link between them?

I just my two phones to act as two separate entities and not being linked together and I don't want to create 2 apple IDs. one is for work and the other private, I don't want my private phone to get work related material and vise et versa.

As I stated in my question that I do not want 2 Apple accounts, I already have one with all my private information and it should be good enough regardless how many devices. I didn't tried the iCloud but I don't think I actually had it setup.
