Go to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. the connecto to iTunes and restore as a New phone. Do not restore any backup. If the problem persists you have a hardware problem. Take it to Apple for exchange.
This assumes that the phone is not hacked or jailbroken. If it is you will have to go elsewhere on the internet for help.

HT201363 My iPhone, iPad and iPod are all associated with the same Apple ID. How can I remove the iPod and associate it with a new Apple ID without affecting the data on the other devices (note: there is no data on the iPod I want to keep)?

Very simple. Turn off Find my iDevice, then Tap Settings, General, Erase, Erase all content and settings.

HT1420 how can i download an app on a new phone that was downloaded with the same apple id?

I mistakenly tried to use the same apple id to set up two phones and two iclouds. After realiing this would not work-I created a new apple id for mine, but it is not allowing me to download the same apps I purchased previously with the other phone. any suggestions?

You can use the same account on multiple devices, both for use with the stores and for Settings > iCloud - what happened when you tried to use the same account on the second phone ? You should have been able to activate the phone with it and log into iCloud with it.
If you want to download on the phone the apps that you bought with the other id then you will need to log into that other account on the phone : tap on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab and log out of it and then log in with the other account. But if you use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownload an account's past purchases then you might tie the phone to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 (so you won't be able to do any of those three things on a different account until the 90 days have completed).

I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music

Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!

What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

Hello everyone. I currently have an iphone which is part of a 3 people family plan therefore we use the same apple id. So my question is can I use my own apple id without affecting the fact we have a family plan?

Hello everyone. I currently have an iphone which is part of a 3 people family plan; therefore we were told we need to use the same apple id. So my question is can I use my own apple id without affecting the fact we have a family plan?

Whoever told you that has no idea what they're talking about. Ignore that advise.

How to I contact Apple about a support issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot access my game center account that I had previously. It created a new one for me with my new apple ID instead of keeping the old one.

I want to submit an issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I had an account set up that I used to play online games. I changed my appleID and then I no longer could access my game center account. I, apparently, had a new game center account created for me (which is friends with my old account) and now I cannot access my original game center account.
If I can't get access to email apple directly (which seems ridiculously difficult to do), then someone please tell me how to FIX the issue.
Thank you

Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.

I have upgraded iPads and my husband uses my old one, how do I change the info so updates etc work in his name

I have upgraded to a new ipad 2, my husband has taken over my old ipad I have set up a Apple ID for him etc, how is link the old ipad to his id so my updates no longer show up on his ipad and it is his identity not mine.

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean by "save his programs". If they are apps that you bought with your ID, they really aren't his apps. If they are apps that he bought with his own ID, he can download them again for free as long as he uses the same Apple ID.
You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another ID. Any apps that you bought on the iPad with your ID will have to be updated by using your Apple ID and password. If he bought apps with his own ID, he needs to use his ID and password in order to update those apps.
What I am saying is that you should have erased the iPad before he started using it with his own ID. If he wants to use apps that you purchased because he doesn't want to have to pay for them again, then he will just have to juggle the two ID's.
Know that if he switches to your ID in order to download a past purchase, he will lock himself out of his own ID for 90 days. You should take a look at this.

Perhaps you should clarify who bought the apps and describe exactly what you are trying to do.

TS1702 I have an iphone and my 2 children have ipods. all 3 on the same apple id. when one of their ipods gets a face time call , all 3 devices ring. i dont want to get these face time calls on my iphone or the other ipod . what is the solution to this

i have an iphone and my 2 children have ipods. all 3 on the same apple id. when one ipod gets a facetime call, all 3 devices ring. how do i prevent all three devices getting the facetime call as it is intended for only one of the ipods?

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

I have an iPhone, my two kids 6 and 7 got ipad minis for Christmas, we all share the same apple Ids, I can control the strings which is good but they can't face time each other or send messages. How can I fix it without loosing all their i tunes gifts????

I have an Iphone4s, for Christmas My kids received iPad Mini's for Christmas they are six and seven years old We all use the same Apple ID's Now my kids cant iMessage each other or face time each other How can I fix this problem I have already spent a lot of money on iTunes and I don't want to waste that

Get new email addresses for them - .gmail to use only for Facetime.

HT3529 My iPhone and my childrens iPods are both linked to the same Apple ID. unfortunately, iMessages sent to me are now appearing on my childrens screens. Some of which are inappropriate. Please advise how I can rectify this???

How can I stop the iMessages I recieve to my iPhone showing up on my childrens iPods?
We all use the same Apple ID and they use iMessage.
Thanks for your help in advance

best thing would be to turn imessage off on their device
also you can go into settings, imessage on theire device, go into send and receive and uncheck your phone number (on their ipods) that way if a message is adressed to your phone number, they will not get it

I own a ipad mini and a iPod touch , both configured on the same apple account, how do I ensure that my data on the ipad mail,notes,pics etc is not visible/accessible on the ipod

I own a ipad mini and a iPod touch both configured on the same id
How do I ensure that my data on the ipad mail,notes,pics etc is not visible/accessible on the iPod touch when the iPod is connected to a wi fi connection

Mail: do not have the same account loaded onto the two devices.
Photos: go into Settings->Photos & Camera->and turn off photo stream.
everything else, sign out of the Apple ID on the device you dont want to be visible.
good luck

Ok so I got a new iPod with my insurance cuz the other one messed up but everything is on my iPod like the other one except for my photos.. What do I do

I need help

You'll need to be connected to a Wi-Fi source in order for the Photos to download to your iPod Touch.
For more help and information, see the Photos chapter of your iPod's User Guide.

Do i have to delete one of my accounts on ipad or ipod so i can have the same apple id?

Do i have to delete my ipad or ipod accounts to have the same Id

You can't combine Apple IDs, and deleting one will mean that anything you've purchased will no longer be accessible.
The best move to make depends on what you have on the different accounts (so it'd be helpful for you to post that). You can have two at once if you use one for content and one for iCloud.

I got a new iPod my whole family has the same Apple ID I set it up and instead of using my old Game Center account it went to my sisters how do I set it to my old one?
