I am using the same Apple id for my iPhone and iPad! Does this cause a problem with apps?

I Was told I should use a whole different I'd with my iPad because if I have both my phone and iPad with the same Apple id it will cause conflict with the apps on each of them. Does this happen?

No. I've been using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPad for years without problems. If fact, if both devices are yours and you use both devices having the same Apple ID on each of them is preferable.

  • HT204053 i used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are on both phones how do i fix this.  I dont need his contacts on my phone and the other way also.  Should i create a different icloud account for his phone?

    I used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are together.  How do I undo this?  Do i create him a different icloud account? 

    Yes, start with deleting your account on his device:
    (Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)
    In the next step, create a new account on his device:
    (Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)

  • I have been using the same Apple ID for 2 iPhones. How can I create another Apple ID to distinguish them?

    I have been using the same Apple ID for 2 iPhones. How can I create another ID to distinguish them?

    www.icloud.com
    Or, go to the App store, sign out of your current account. Try to make a purchase and it will ask you to sign in, or create a new account.
    You can do it through iTunes as well.

  • HT204053 for ipad2 Using the same Apple ID for Store purchases and iCloud (recommended) yes/

    hi i am shahram i have ipad2 for ipad 2 using the same apple iD for store purchases and iCloud(recommended) yes or no?

    That's what Apple recommend, it's also how I have mine set up. Although it isn't much of a problem to use a different account (ID) for each service.

  • HT2731 Does using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPod touch use my phones data plan?

    Does using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPod touch use my phones data plan?

    If you are using the internet then it's eating away at your data plan, irrespective of your Apple ID.
    Here's an article about data plans:

  • I have the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPad. If i turn off "find my iPhone" on my iPad, will it also be turned off on my iPhone?

    My iPhone is broken, but I have to turn off find my iPhone. So without a working iPhone I had to do it with my iPad. I have the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPad, and I have turned off find my iPhone(iPad) on my iPad, but is it then turned off on my iPhone as well? And if it is not, what can i do to turn it off, now that i can't do it with the phone?

    I do not think so, but the easiest way to find out is to try it.
    edit: after rereading your post, there is not a way to try it with a broken phone. If the phone is broken, I think I would destroy it. Then it is a moot question.

  • Can I use the same apple ID for my personal and work phones?

    I have a personal iPhone (AT&T) and am getting one issued through work (Verizon). Am I able to use the same Apple ID for both phones?

    In theory, yes. You had best ask your IT department, though... or whoever is issuing the phone to you. They may have policies as to what is and is not allowed to be done on company owned phones.

  • Can I use the same Apple ID for two iPhone's?

    Can I use the same Apple ID on both mine and my partners iPhones? and will there be any troubles or problems that may occur?
    Thank you

    Yes, but there will be quirks. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
    What isn't obvious is that you can use different Apple IDs for different functions on your iPhone; for example iCloud, iTunes & App Stores, Game Center, iMessage and FaceTime can all have different Apple IDs from each other.
    If you use the same Apple ID for Find my iPhone then both phone's locations will show up at https://icloud.com/find. Which can be good or bad, depending on your situation.
    If you use the same Apple ID for iTunes & App Stores you can have the same apps and music on both phones; some or all of them.
    You probably want different Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime; otherwise, you will get each other's messages
    Also different for Game Center.

  • Can i use the same apple id for my irish and english iphone?

    Yes, you can use your Apple ID with any Apple product or service worldwide, no matter the language or country, but your account can only be in one iTunes Store country at a time.

  • TS2755 Problem:  Both iPhones share incoming and outgoing Text Messages.  History:  We used the same Apple ID for TWO iPhones.  Later we changed the Apple ID on ONE iPhone.

    Two iPhones were set up using the same Apple ID.  iPhone#2 was updated 4 months ago with a new Apple ID.  Both phones continue to recieve text messages for either user.  Texts from user 1 or 2 to a 3rd party are signed as the same user.  iPhone#1 is an Apple 5, iPhone#2 is a 4s.  All phones on the same Verizon account.  IOS have been updated regularly.

    Go to your imessaging settings and check to see that the phone number for device #2 is changed good luck.

  • My husband and i use the same apple id on our iphones and ipods, now we are having trouble how do we separate them?

    My husband and I use the same apple id and itunes accounts for each of our phones.  His is an Iphone 4 and mine is an 4s.  After this last update we are having trouble with his texting.  
    How do we go about separating our account into two accounts with the same apps and itunes. 

    You would need to create a new Apple ID and re-download and/or repurchase any apps.
    However, if it's just a matter of texting, you can go to Settings -> Messages -> Send & Recieve and check which addresses each phone should receive iMessages addressed to.

  • HT204053 I have two Apple IDs and want to merge them so I use the same Apple ID for iCloud/IO6 and iTunes

    I have 2 Apple IDs and I want to merge them so I only use one. Can I change my Apple ID for iTunes to my iCloud/email ID? 

    You can't merge them but you can change the ID you use for iTunes store and app purchases.  To do this, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores, tap the ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using the other ID.

  • Can i use the same apple id for a device and APNs creation for an MDM solution?

    I created some APNs for use with an installation of AirWatch.
    Somewhere back when I did this... someone gave me the impression it would be a bad idea to use the Apple ID I used to create those APNs... on an actual device. 
    Any truth to that?

    Yes, you can use your Apple ID with any Apple product or service worldwide, no matter the language or country, but your account can only be in one iTunes Store country at a time.
