HT5622 What if I have children who have their own apple products but I want them on the same apple ID as me and we want to use imessage?

We have a few iphones and one apple ID. We only want to use the one apple ID as they are children and I want to have control. How can we imessage between us and different phones without everyone getting the imessages on each device?

Settings>Messages>Send & Receive...you can adjust here. There is no other setting to adjust.
What you want to do is really not the best approach. Everyone can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes content, but for everything else...FaceTime, iMessage, & iCloud, everyone really needs their own Apple Id for things to function properly & as designed.

I have two macs at my house, and multiple iPhones. I want to keep the same apple id as everyone else, but i want to put my own music only on my iPhone. I want to do this with my laptop which is not the family's main iTune's computer.

If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:

Must be a verified email address.

HT4137 I have two iPad's that use the same iTunes/store account. I want the two devices to play games with with other, but it recognizes them as the same. I have set up two different iCloud accounts, but still not recognizing the users as different. What

Hello, I have no idea if my question went out, so I'll post it again. I have two iPads (one 3rd gen and one 4th) that use the same iTunes/store account. I want the two devices to game with each other, but the apps recognize them as the same. I have created two different iCloud accounts in an attempt to differentiate between the two, but no luck. How can I continue to use the same iTunes/store account for music and movies, but also have the two devices recognize each other for games?

You can share your iTunes ID and still have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs, they don't have to be the same. If you kids don't already have an iCloud account, have them set up separate accounts on their devices using separate IDs. If they are already sharing your account, migrate their devices to separate accounts. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos they wish to keep to ther camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. If they are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to them so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in their new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from thier device and won't effect your device), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7). Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create their new account and choose Merge to upload the data. Once everyone is on a separate account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into each account separately and delete your data from their account.

Bought two Ipod touches. I linked them with the same apple ID. Was I suppose to do that? If not, how do I change it to where we both still can have access to my main account?

I bought two ipod touches. One for my daughter and one for myself. I set hers up the other day and then set mine up this morning. I used the same ID for both. When I went to use mine and check out games, it had her user name on there. Can I have two different ID's off of one email address? How can I change this to where her and I don't share any of the information?

You can rename one of he devices: iTunes: How to rename your device
After that set up a new user on your computer adn sync one of the ipods to this one. Everybody will have his own iTunes library, contacts, calendars etc. after that.

HT1495 If I have an IPHONE with my own Apple ID and my husband has his IPHONE with his Apple ID, can we sync them to the same ITUNES Library on the same PC??

Confused....

As long as you have iTunes logged in with your Apple ID, you can just plug your phone in and sync it, and all your music will appear as your Library (e.g. "Nolan's Music"). When your husband plugs his phone in, he'll probably have to log you out and login with his Apple ID, before he syncs his phone.
The problem is that Apple IDs are accounts. Your phone is linked to your account, and his phone is linked to his account. I don't think you can sync them both while logged in to one of those accounts. Have you sync'd your phones before? What happens when you plug them in?

Help, I just updated to iOS 8 and all my pages documents have disappeared! This is a disaster ! Can I get them from the cloud? If so how and can I do it without a PC or laptop?

I Have just updated to iOS 8 and have lost all my Pages docs this is a huge disaster. Is there any way to get them back ? I hope that they are in the cloud but I have never used it to get anything back before. Can any one help. Is it possible to do this without a PC or laptop?

You really need to try this on a computer, not on the iPad.
Seeing how what is in the cloud is also on the iPad, if the content is not on the iPad, there is a good chance that the content is lost. But you can try logging into www.icloud.com in a web browser on a computer and log into your account and see if you can get into the Pages app. You may have to sign up for iCloud drive if you didn't do so already. Make SURE you that you read the blurb that will pop up in that window in iCloud for more information.

HT2731 can i have more than one apple id on a computer? As when we go away we want to facetime from our macpro to our main mac at home and both are registered under the same apple ID. Thanks

Can you have more than one apple id on a computer. We are going away and want to facetime from our macpro to the mac computer at home but both are registered under the same apple ID. What should we do ?

I will share with you what I have done to manage this with my family. While the solution isn't without flawes, it seems to do the trick. First, you need to have one person who is managing the synching of everyone's devices. In my family, I have three iphones, about to be four, and five ipads. We all synch to the same apple ID to allow one another to take seemless advantage of our Itunes, which is on our Imac. To synch individual music or video interests, we simply select which playlists we want and manually synch that way. A couple of us use imatch and the cloud to make the entire library accessable as well. With respect to the imessage, mail, contacts, etc. we each have a gmail account for our individual emails, contacts etc. So for instance, my forth grade daughter has a gmail account that we choose to synch her contacts, calendar, etc to and then that is also the account where she receives her imessages from on her ipad and itouch. My son, who has an iphone and ipad, does the same thing, but under settings, he goes to imessage and checks his phone number and his email as his preferred way to receive imessages and texts. My wife and I do the same thing. To avoid having everyone see one anothers contracts etc, we only synch contacts from our individual email accounts. Here is the downfall to this: When you update your phone or add a new device, apple always wants to reset everyone's facetime and imessage settings and then low and behold we are all receiving imessages from one another's friends etc. To work around this, I simply take each of their devices and go to their imessage settings and only check the email and phone numbers relative to their devices. I dont' know is this is the best solution, but it seems to work for us.

Are there pepes out there using ipads to make group music with children who have profound and multiple learning difficulties? I am and I'd love to share the ideas.

I am the music teacher in a Special school in London UK currently working with Drake Music who are a charity that go into schools to enable music making through music technology. Our purpose is to enable a group of 7 children who have profound and multiple learning difficulties to play instruments on the ipads or through the soundbeam and to be able to play and jam together with me underscoring on the guitar. We're having a lot of fun and we're all learning a lot about what can be achieved using the amazing ipad technology. If you're doing a similar project I'd love to hear from you and we can swap notes!

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
You can use iTunes to easily manage multiple devices by having each sync with selected playlists. I don't personally have any recommendations for other software but perhaps others might.

I have an icloud account with two other users besides myself. We share the same game center. We want our own. My two children want their own Clash of Clans account! What do I do?

Log out of Gamecenter and try downloading CoC again. if it doesn't prompt you with a new village, try downloading with a different apple id. if that doesn't work, you would need a new device to create a new village and transferring it to your sons device using the code in the CoC settings.

You can all have independent AppleIDs for iCloud or iMessage etc, but share the same one for iTunes Store / AppStore purchases.

HT204053 What are the pros and cons of 1) choosing to use the SAME Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or 2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides

All is in the title, so I repeat it below with a better identation.
What are the pros and cons of
1) choosing to use the SAME
Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and
purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or
2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides"?
P.S.
I have loads and loads of free podcasts in iTunes in my iMac, that are certainly more thant the 5 gigas the iCloud provides for free, so I don't want those to go to the cloud. But this is perhaps a different question...
Also need to mention that I have itunes on a mac, a pc and an iphone.
Sorry to look so silly with this question, but I don't get the "big picture".

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.
