If both of you turn on the same iCloud services in your devices, your information will get mixed and will appear in all your devices.
To prevent this, the only thing you can do is to create another Apple ID for your wife or you, so you will have your information separated. Anothe roption is to allow your wife or you to use iCloud, and the other one should not use iCloud, so in this case the information won't get mixed
Nice Mende, I didn't even think of that.

My wife and I share an apple id how can we use face time

My wife and I share an apple ID. How can we use face time?

Try the MacBook Pro forums and perhaps Apple ID or Facetime, this forum does not deal with notebooks or facetime.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
To avoid your data being merged, your wife should open a new account and use it just for iCloud, she can continue to use the existing account for iTunes, so that you can continue to share your iTunes content.

HT5622 My wife and I have different Apple ID's and passwords but I want to share the music library which is on iCloud under my Apple ID. How do I set her up to share the music library that exists in iCloud?

My wife and I have different Apple ID's and passwords but I want to share our music library which is on iCloud under my Apple ID. How do I set her up to share the music library that resides on the iCloud under my Apple ID?

You would need to go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap her ID, sign out, then sign back in with your ID. However, if she has turned on automatic downloads, download previous purchases or signed into an iTunes Match account using her current ID, she would have to wait 90 days from when she first did this to change to another ID. She can, of course, sync your music to her device using iTunes without changing her ID association.

HT5622 My wife and I shared an Apple ID, have closed out iTunes on her iPhone and iPad but will not allow her email address to be associated with a new account even though it does not appear anywhere in my information. Any suggestions.

My wife and I shared an Apple ID, I have closed out the iTunes on her iPhone and her iPad. While trying to set up a new iTunes account when I enter her email address it says we have to select a new email address. I have checked and her email is not associated with my iTunes account and really do not want to establish another email account. Any suggestions?

Hi Stateler74,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You might be able to find the Apple ID that her email address is associated with by following this article's instructions:

HT5622 my wife and I have separate apple ID acts so that we could register our iPhones and iPads under our own names. Can I have my iMac synch iCloud with both apple ID's so that both our calendars end up on our iMac?

If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

My Wife and I share an apple ID, I recently changed to an android device but can no longer recieve messages from iphone users.

I've unregistered my device online but left hers on there. I'm afraid if I delete the account she will lose all her apps. I'm at a loss now, I've talked to apple support and they assured me it would be taken care of and told me to wait 24 hours. It has been 48 and nothing has changed.

If you go into messages then press SEND AND RECEIVE you can delete the accounts there that you don't want to receive stuff from and still share Apple ID.
You might need to do this on all devices wife and I had the same problem and this worked fine

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Can I transfer our music when I open a second iTunes account?

WWant to move want to copy music from one iTunes account to another.

Hello, Sharbs17.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you want to transfer previously purchased music to a new Apple ID. At this time all purchases made with that Apple ID will not be able to be transferred to the new Apple ID. However, we have a new option to share music with other Apple IDs called Family Sharing. Here is some more information regarding this feature.

My wife and I share apple id but have our own phones, and now having trouble with imessage

My wife and I share apple id but have our own phones, and now having trouble with imessage. Sharing calenders, apps, music, contacts, etc...all great. But when we imessage each other. Our phones get confused and either not deliver message, or send it to and from itself.

Go to Settings > Facetime and you will see "You can be reached for video calls at:"
This should list your phone number (iPhone) and your email address (probably the gmail one).
And then an option for "Add another email..."
Choose that and enter your @me.com account and it'll send a verification email.
Same for iMessage: Settings > Messages > "Receive at" > Add Another Email
So you can be called by facetime and use iMessage through multiple email accounts yes.

My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another.

My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
Thanks.

go to the settings and turn off imessage
but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

Whilst you want seperate accounts, I assume this is to keep your contacts etc seperate, you can still both use the same iTunes account, which will allow you to share your music etc.
