I have an iPad and an iPhone registered under the same ID, am I not eligible to get 10GB free space on iCloud?
I have bought two Apple devices iPad and iPhone. I have registered both under the same Apple ID I have. as such I believe my account is eligible for 10Gb of free space on iCloud instead of just 5Gb provided. Why does Apple penalize for registering multiple products under same ID when it comes to free space on iCloud?
Hi ..
Storage is per Apple ID, not the amount of devices you have. That's how content is synced.
No one is penalizing you. You can get 5GB's of free iCloud storage and that includes both yoru iPad and iPhone since they are associated with the same Apple ID.
If both devices had different Apple ID's, you still only get 5GB's of storage per account.

I have 2 Iphones, registered under the same AppleID. Mine, and my mom's. I recently (today) did the software udate for her phone, and ever since-she receives every message i send to my girlfriend, and every response that my girlfriend sends to me. I read up on Imessage, and checked the settings on both phones. On each phone "imessage"was turned on, so i turned Imessage off. Will this solve the problem of my mom receiving every message that i send and receive? Also, if i turn Imessage back on, on my phone-will i still have privacy to text?
Why not create a second Apple ID? Wouldn't that solve the problem much more straightforwardly?

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.

Please see above. I have both an ipad and and iphoen. For the purposes of facetime, I would like to associate only my email address with the ipad and only the phone number iwht the iphobne. However, I cannot remove the email address from the iphone. So, when I get a facetime via email, it rings on both the iphone and ipad. Settings>>facetime will not let me remove the email.
I wouldn't want to say exactly, however I would imagine that it has to do with the fact you use the same Apple ID on both devices. Since Facetime was activated on the phone, with the number, and then activated on the iPad with the email and same Apple ID, they are somehow linked. I'm not sure that you can separate it without having a different Apple ID on the two devices. Otherwise you can look at this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367 and see if that helps you any.

I have 2 ipads and my iphone on the same icloud account and it wont let me back it up cause I dont have enough space. So I want to move my iphone over to a new icloud account with my new apple id that i made but i dont want to delete the ipads off the old account just move the iphone to the new one. How do I do that I despreatly need help!!!
To migrate your phone to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep on the phone, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your other devices won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7) and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted . Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.

I have an iPad and an iPhone 6. They are on two different Apple ids. How do I do I change the Apple id on my phone to match my iPad?
On the phone, go to Settings, and change the iCloud and iTunes Store AppleIDs (sign out of the one you have, sign into the one you want). Note that you can't transfer apps from one AppleID to another, so you may still be prompted for your old AppleID password to update any apps that you installed under that ID.

My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have my iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices the offline problem stops. Any thoughts on this?
.....doesn't that seems to suggest the modem?
That is what I have suggested....twice now. From posts above:
My opinion would be that it is likely not the ISP, unless you have complete loss of Internet service for all devices at the same time......it is the Comtrend device....
and
I believe that the problem lies with the modem, and not the ISP signal.
Your ISP will likely have a different opinion, though. Please keep us posted on your progress. -

using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal. -

I have 4 iPads and one apple Id. Two the devices record clash of clans and dragonvale individually and the other two are tied to the other two. Drives my kids nuts. How do I fix this?
Also, I'd prefer to keep the same ID on both so I will keep access to my calendar/contacts/etc on both devices. Would I be able to share reminders and voice memos and the like as well? And how often would they update each other? If I edit a contact on the 5, and the 4 is in wifi, assuming they're both on my same ID, will the contact update on the 4?

I have a iPad and I am moving to the USA!
I have a iPad and I am moving to the USA! How can I get my iPad to get to the usa version so it's dollars and the American apps! Or do I need to buy one there? Because I went there on holiday and had my iPod but it was still in the English version and had pounds and not dollars, and also I wanted the app pandora but I could not find it while I was there. please help really don't want to restart my iPad! Thanks
When you are in the US update your billing address on your account to be your US address (or create a new account with your US billing address) and the store's should then show the US and prices will be in dollars. Changing country on an account : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account - Apple Support
Before you move there make sure that you have everything downloaded from the UK store (I'm assuming that you are here in the UK as you say pounds), and/or have copies of them in your computer's iTunes library or backup of your downloads/library, as whilst you are in the US you can only use the US store (you have to be in a country to use its store, including redownloading). -
i have a ipod nano and a iphone 3gs on the same computer. Can i put my ipod nano on my laptop and put my iphone songs on my ipod nano?
You can put the songs that on your iPhone onto your Nano as long as these songs are located in the iTunes library on the laptop. If they are not you will not be able to sync them to the Nano and you will not be able to copy them directly from the iPhone to the Nano.
