    Use the same ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both devices and have people use that ID. Your iPhone number would be a good choice.

  • My wife decided to set up her iPhone on my account and now everything is comingled.  I want to set up an iTunes account for just me. Do I have to set that up on a computer or can I set it up on the iPhone?

    My wife decided to set up her iPhone on my account and now everything is comingled.  I want to set up an iTunes account for just me. Do I have to set that up on a computer or can I set it up on the iPhone?

    iTunes will need to be set up on your computer however you can set up a new Apple ID to use for your iPhone. Really all you need to do is Assign a new Apple ID to your iCloud account.
    Follow the link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    After you do that, on the device you want to assign a new iCloud account go: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign in with the new Apple ID.
    NOTE: This does not effect iTunes, all of your devices can continue to use one shared iTunes account under your original Apple ID for downloading apps and backups. This simply gives iCloud a place to sync the individual devices information and will stop iCloud form merging all the information, such as contacts, with all of your devices.

    can i set up icloud on my iphone 3gs ios 4.1??

    No, not without updating to iOS 6.  (iCloud requires iOS 5 or higher, but at this point you would have to update to iOS 6 as iOS 5 is no longer available.)  Follow this guide to update from iOS 4: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972.

  • How can I set up hotmail on my iphone? i need some advice please..

    i can't set up hotmail on my iphone.. please can someone tell me how to do that. thankyou..

    Is it a paid account or a free account?
    The free accounts can not be set up on the iPhone because the free Hotmail accounts do not user one of the two email server standards, POP3 or IMAP (it uses a proprietary HTTP protocol) which the iPhone requires.
    You will need to upgrade to one of the paid hotmail accounts before you can get POP3 access for your email.

  • How can I set up imessage on iPhone to send messages from the name of number but not e-mail.

    I can set up iMessage on Macbook to send from the name of number, but can't do it on my iPhone after upgrading to 6.1

    If your iPhone and iPad are both running iOS 6, and your iPhone successfully registered it's phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, all you should have to do on your iPad is go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and sign in with the same Apple ID you are using on your phone. 
    If it is, and it still isn't working, try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in.

  • How can I set up Gmail on my iPhone with a different domain name?

    I'm an ASU student so my email ends in @asu.edu. However its a Gmail account and I just got a new iPhone and I would really like to set it up through the mail app but it won't let me. Every time I type my email and password in the phone says: "The user name or password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect"...but I know it isn't. Is there a way I can do this?
    Thanks!

    This should work; one of my e-mail accounts is my own domain through Gmail.  Make sure your username is set to your full e-mail address (like [email protected]) rather than just your username.
    Did you set it up on your iPhone as an IMAP account, or as a Gmail account?  It should work perfectly using the Gmail setting.  It can work as IMAP, but you need to jump through a few hoops to get there.

  • Can't set up notes sync on iPhone

    Hey guys,
    I have set up iCloud on my iPhone. Reminders and Find My iPhone are working perfectly. The problem is with notes.
    By this they should be syncing:
    But when I look at left top corner, there is no "Account" button:
    When I look at iCloud.com, there are no notes:
    And when I try to create a note:
    Any ideas where can be the problem?
    I've tried to sign out of iCloud, restart iPhone and sign in again. Didn't work.

    If your email account provider supports using SSL for their incoming and outgoing mail server, you should use it especially with a laptop when traveling and with a device
    When prompted about using SSL when creating an account if there is a problem with doing so, when declining the account should be created without using SSL.
    Who is the email account provider for this account?
