HT5622 Several devices using one apple ID

I have 3 iphones and an ipad all using the same apple ID. Do I need to create a new apple ID for all of these devices? If so, will I be able to transfer the music from the original apple ID onto the new apple ID's?

No.
If they are yours and you are using them, I recommend you use the same AppleID for all.
(Why do you have 3 iPhones?)
If these devices are "yours" but someone else uses them (such as family), I recommend they get their own AppleID and use it for those devices.

HT204053 Can I search or locate different iPhone devices using one apple ID?

Hello!
Can I search or locate different iphone devices using one apple I.D.?
Thanks!

You can only use Find My iPhone for accounts that you can log into. If you and your neighbor have different IDs and you only know your ID, than you can only track devices attached to your account.

You won't lose anything, however all purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them originally so future updates of your existing apps will still require the password for your old ID (whether you are still using it for purchasing or not.

HT5622 can I use one apple ID for both iPhone and iPad?

hello, i just bought a new ipad and want to use the same apple ID that i used in my iphone. is it possible?
thank you for helping me

Philly_Phan is absolutely right if you intend to be the primary user of both devices. Is that the case or will one of the devices be used by someone else with whom you want to communicate over Facetime and iMessage?

5 devices using one Apple id

We have 2 iPhones, 1 iPad, and 2 iPod touches all set up using the same apple id. The iPods were christmas presents to our kids and we are having problems with the iMessages and Facetime from the iPods going to our phones. Do we need to reset their iPods to use different id's and if we do will they still be able to share music purchases and app purchases with us?

HT5622 I have been using one apple ID for my family as it makes it easier to manage itunes purchases/rentals on all of our devices. Now that my kids are getting old and my wife has recently purchased an Iphone, I can see that I need to change my strategy

I have been using one apple ID for my family as it makes it easier to manage itunes purchases/rentals on all of our devices. Now that my kids are getting old and my wife has recently purchased an Iphone, I can see that I need to change my strategy. I plan to add a few more iphones to the family very soon. What is your recommendation to manage all of our devices (iphones, itouch, apple tv) for my family? Can I continue to function with one apple ID or is it time to take the leep into attempting to manage multi-apple ID's?

There's a few ways of managing multiple devices on a single computer (and keeping seperate content on each). The following document is worth checking through:

I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have separate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.

I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have seperate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use. I have tried many things and the only guess I have is that either someone else has this email as their iMessage but is fake or it wasn't taken off my old iPod when I reset it. Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks but that doesn't give me the information I need. I am putting an email on my ipod for people to contact me for iMessage and FaceTime but when I put the email in, it gives me an error saying that the email cannot be veirified because it is already in use. My Apple ID can be varified, just not the email that they will contact me with.

How do I make one (and only one) device use my Apple ID and iCloud account?

How do I make one (and only one) device use my Apple ID and iCloud account? I currently have an iPad mini, iPhone 5, and MacBook pro attached to my apple accounts, but I want only my iPhone 5 to be assosiated with either one. Whenever I use any of the three devices, I get a notification on the other two telling me that these devices are now using these accounts from these services, etc. and I want these notifications to stop, along with the devices using to them. How do I do this? I completely reset the iPad mini so I don't know how I'm still getting notifications from it, and I deleted and signed of of all of my accounts everywhere I could find on my Mac. So, to restate exactly what I want to do, I want ONLY my iPhone 5 to use ANY of my Apple/iCloud accounts and ONLY it can receive emails, iMessages, and FaceTime calls. Thanks!

If you want to disconect your Mac from iCloud, go to System Preferences>iCloud and click Sign Out. If you only want to stop using iCloud email, just uncheck Mail. To stop iMessage, open the Messages app, go to Messages>Preferences, click the Accounts tab, click your iCoud ID on the left-hand side, then to the right click Sign Out. To stop FaceTime, open the FaceTime app, then click "Apple ID" then click Sign Out.
On your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account (or if you only want to stop using iCloud email, turn Mail off). For FaceTime, go to Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID and sign out. For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID and sign out.

Is it ok to use one apple id for two devices ?

Here's the deal: The SLA permits the "sharing" of content with up to 5 family members in the same household. Any other distribution of content is considered stealing...the SLA does not give you the right to distribute content in any way, shape or form. Its really that simple, and "friend" is NOT a family member living in the same household.

Turn off My PhotoStream in iCloud on both the iPad and the Mac. PhotoStream is what shares your photos (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta, in which case, all photos uploaded are accessible from all devices signed onto the same Apple/iCloud ID).

HT201251 I want to use 30 ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices

I want to use 30 ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices?

Alternatively you can always manage your iPads (does not matter how many) with a single apple id and all reporting to your account under "find my device" service. Keeping an eye on all your units. Additionally as you mentioned these are for your Restaurant you may find the solutions offered by this company who creates apps and hardware for this purpose: http://www.spartakioskpro.com
Additionally if you expand beyond those 30 iPads to say 300 you will want to enable or plan on MDM as your best option to automate every ipad to use the same profile and app and ios configuration while also keeping a close eye on all of them via online MDM services like: https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager

Can I use one Apple ID with many Apple devices

I have an iTouch, iPad and iPhone. I want to use one Apple ID whenever I use the devices. When I try and change the ID on a device I get a message that the ID is regestered to another device. Whqat do I do?

You can use the same Apple ID up to 10 devices.
That is for purchases in the App, iTunes and iBook stores.
Where did you change the ID?
