I have 2 iPhone 5's

My wife and I have the same apple ID for all of our apple devices, this way we only have to buy apps once. How can I sync each of our phones with different apps from our App Store without ruining any of the data she has. We will each be syncing our phones to seperate laptops. We dont use all the same apps and we want to pick and choose which one we have on our phones.

Hi harryhazarian,
My wife and I had this same setup and it works out. iTunes on my Mac and her PC keep all the apps separate by itself. She syncs to hers and I sync to mine and that's about it. The only thing I see in your post that could be a problem is that you imply that your wife is going to start using a new computer. If you both already use separate computers everything should already be separated. The only thing my wife and I do different is use a separate Apple ID for iCloud so Contacts and Messages don't get merged.
I know I'm missing something here. Please clear it up for me? Are you experiencing an existing issue with app merging to both devices? Problems setting up a new iTunes on a different computer? I want to help I just need more info.
Regards

My husband and I both have iPhones . How do I use one account for purchases and keep the email separate when using iCloud?

My husband and I both have iPhones . How do I use one iTunes account to share music, photos and apps, and keep our email accounts separate since all data will use the iCloud function.

You shouldn't be using the same account on phone iphones. Have him setup his own and make sure his iCloud is logged in with that one

How can i split up icloud account. its the same for my wife and i but i would like 2 separate accounts. we both have iphone 4

my wife and i both have iphone 4. they were set up with 1 icloud account. we now both have separate apple id's. I would like to set up a different icloud account on my phone with my apple id and password separate from my wife.

Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing Notes with iCloud, you'll also have to email your notes to yourself so they can be recreated in the new account as they cannot be migrated.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).

I have IPhone 5. Songs on phone do not match songs in my itunes library. Can't get rid of songs on phone because they don't show up in library

Hi there,
It sounds like you may need to hide these purchases in the iTunes Store in order to prevent them from displaying on the Apple TV. Take a look at the article below for more information.

My wife and I have iPhones and are receiving each other's text messages. How can we stop this from happening? Is this an Apple ID problem?

My wife and I have iPhones and I am receiving her text messages. Is this an Apple ID issue? How do I stop this from occurring?

on setting Send &Receive, deselect the other spouses email address.
You are sharing ring the same AppleID which is designed for 1 person.

I have iphone 4, uploaded iOS7. Only some of my emails are transmitted to my phone. They all show up on my computer but only some show up on the phone. Sometimes the emails on the phone delete before I can even read them. Any thoughts?

I have iphone 4 , updated to iOS 7 and had to reset phone, lost many contacts. Fixed a duplication problem on contacts. Now the problem is with email, I have a cox account, icloud account. I can send myself a test message and I always get it on the phone. I do not consistently obtain other emails, yet all the emails show up on my home computer. Do I have my settings messed up?

OK, I did the following:
I read and then deleted ALL the messages waiting for me at the Tiscali server using their webmail option.
This left my Tiscali in box completely empty.
To be on the safe side, I deleted all my Email Accounts on my Mac and loaded just one, the [email protected] - i.e. my Tiscali email address. I also reset and then changed the password.
I then got Tiscali tech support to reset my mailbox.
I then crossed my fingers!
I then sent myself a number of test emails, some from the Tiscali server webmail option, some from my PC laptop and some from Mail on my beloved Mac.
I can now confirm that I can send emails from my Mac using Mail but cannot download any. All that happens when I click "Get Mail" on Mail is that the program looks at the pop3 mail server at Tiscali but doesn't see the test emails that are waiting there for me to download.
Any suggestions???
God, Tiscali Tech Support are completely rubbish!

I have iPhone 4s, and using latest iOS. When I try to open any link from Twitter or Facebook, it goes to open some wrong webpage. My iphone seems to be infected or suffering from some spyware or malware. How can I remove this wrong link opening ? Please help me to resolve...

I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

It's because you are both using the same iTunes Library on your computer and you are both using the same Apple ID on each phone.
One of you must start a new computer user account and get a new Apple ID. Then start operating on the ocmputer from the new account. He/she will also need to restore their phone from the new account and using the new Apple ID. This way everything on each of your phones will remain separate.

I'm relatively new to Mac and want to try and get the most out of the new MacBook Air.
My wife and I have been sharing the same Apple ID. We both have iPhones - she has a 5 and I've got a 4S.
We only have one copy of iTunes and we have been sharing the account. (She doesn't really use the computer for anything beyond writing the odd weekend assignment.)
Would I be better off setting her up with her own and making her as a separate user on the computer? Would this require much work?
In recent times with updates, we have a few problems with the duplication of texts and that sort of thing. Both of our texts are stored on the computer and that sort of thing. Also, sometimes texts I send her are sent through to me from her, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I don't really want to overly complicate matters when it comes to accounts etc, but I wanted to know if a fresh Apple ID would be the best thing or even a new user?
Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

I have this question too (0) Reply

Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours, I dont know.......

You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.

Daughter has new touch 4G, I have iPhone 4,can we have iTunes on 2 computer

Hi my daughter has new touch 4G, I have iPhone 4, can we have iTunes on 2 computers with the same apps already bought?
What I mean is currently I have an iMac with iTunes and my iPhone 4 on. bought a lot of apps etc. For Xmas I synced it to this iMac so I could get the apps on ready.
However she has a Windows PC with iTunes on. Can I copy my apps to this laptop somehow, and let her use the same iTunes account?
I would rather she learn how to manage her iTunes and touch, but we'll keep the same account I suppose as I have bought a lot of stuff?
cheers

yes.
authorize iTunes on her computer for your iTS account, then set up _*Home Sharing*_ on both machines. use home sharing to transfer content between homeshared computers.
