I have multiple devices, an iPhone and an iPad, and would like to have the same Game Center setting on each device. I have game I have invested a lot of time into, and if I have to replace my iPad Id like to make sure the settings transfer.
To piggy back on my question, I would also like my Game Center settings to be the same on my iPad and iPhone so I can access the same game. Right now they are different, although the sign on and password to both are identical. Thanks in advance....

Basically wondering if multiple devices should share the same ID or each to get their own. Such as, how it affects Facetime, backups to iCloud, etc. Thanks. Sorry for the long title.
Hi matrixxzero,
In my opinion, you want to use the same Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID on both devices. That is exactly what iCloud is designed for - to keep devices with the same Apple ID in sync. Your Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari Bookmarks, Notes, Photo Stream photos, and Documents will all be kept in sync if you have those options set up on both devices under Settings>iCloud.
Unless you have some reason to not want to have the same information on both devices, then going with a single ID on both is the way to go.
Cheers,

I did not know that when I created a e-mail address that I was suppose to use the same one that I created when I first signed up with Apple I phone. I want to change my e-mail address to the one I first had How can I change it? I do not need two e-mail accounts It should have read that when you are setting up an e-mail address use the one that you first signed up with. Not after you go through all the set ups for I cloud it tells you at the end to use your account that you first started with. Can you please help me I am new at this and I still can not set up on my computer with my phone to I cloud so if I had my phone stollen I can find it I also have and I pad to set up yet It is 3 days and I still can not set it up
Thank You and Hoplefully I can change my e-mail address so I can have everything on one accountIf you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other. -
how do I copy the same app folder layout from one device to another. We have several apple devices.
It's a challenge when syncing a device for the first time to go through all the apps and apply them back to the same folders as on your other iphone.
I've seen suggestions of taking pictures of the correct layout, then manually applying it to the new device. Big time waister.
What's the work around?
Thank youI'm afraid there is no short workaround. One thing that you could do if you were REALLY desperate is reset your device to factory settings and then restore it from your other device's backup, but that is rather risky and you probably don't want to take your chances just for folder layouts. I would just do it manually.

I have multiple devices used by family members, how do you make sure the kids don't see Moms messages from Dad and visa versa?
Hi Roger:
Thanks for the reply. I think I figured out the problem. Apple has confused (at least in my mind) the different IDs that people can have. In the iCloud settings, they use the term Apple ID and not iCloud ID. I guess there really is no such thing as an iCloud ID. There are Apple IDs with various attributes. This is not clearly explained or easy to see (how could I look up to see if my Apple ID is associated with iTunes for example?).
I created, what I thought were iCloud IDs for each family member, but we all use my Apple ID for iTunes.
One other question - why does the syncing of Notes using iCloud require an @me.com email account. That makes no sense to me.
Thanks for your help!

I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.
You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

Hello all,
I have a iMac, iPhone 4s, iPhone 4 and an Apple TV v3...and I would like to be able to stream the same song to all of these devices all at the same time. Is this possible do you know?
any details greatly Rx'dWelcome to the Apple Community.
Thats not possible I'm afraid, only the Apple TV can receive an AirPlay stream, and even then only one at a time, unless you stream from a computer. -
I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.
Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

Can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?
Hi sandexpress,
As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air, imac and iphone). I can't see how I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey? I also can't remember the password for this account so i can't even delete it and start again?
Help!
ThanksDeleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud. In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens. Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device. It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days. When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question. However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload). Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this. If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account. -
i have lost my iphone 5. The person who has my phone right now is still using my game center id to play one of my game that i have in that phone named "Clash of Clan". Could you guys help me to sign out this icloud's ID and game center's ID from that phone for me, or anyone knows how to do this, please mail back to me. Id : "[email protected]" Thanks.
As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account. It's assigned when the account is created. But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password. Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't. Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it. If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you. -
Hello guys..!! I have got my new iphone 4 2 days ago.The same day it got a problem of auto restart in every 1, to 2 minutes. I updated and restored it many times...but of no use... can any one help me how to solve this problem..!!
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. -
I bought an iphone 4s from a pawn shop,i need to check and make sure the phone is clear to be activated in my name,i was told you can check the IMEI number,i have the number,but what do i do with it?
Who is the carrier the iPhone is carrier locked with?
If the carrier has a blacklist for lost/stolen cell phones, it would be the carrier you need to contact. -
My iMovie app will just quit for no reason. It doesn't loose my data but it's a pain. Now that I have finished my picture project, I want to export it to iDVD so I can burn a disk. iMovie just quits, no matter how I try to export the project. Does anyone know how to fix this problem??
I have a lot of time into this project and would hate to loose it. But if anybody knows of a really good app for making picture and video CD/DVDs (that doesn't quit every time you turn around) I would love to know about it.
thank you,
robertfromglenwoodHi babowa,
I tried sending my project the way you said. I got the message that it would take about 15 minutes to do this. Then the program quit again. No 30 seconds after I tried to send it.
I just spoke with a tech from Apple and he say there is a glitch in my project. He had me try to send a different project using Quick Time and it went right through. He say I will have to build a whole me project and I'll just have to hope it doesn't have a glitch in it. Not what I wanted to here, I have a lot of hours in this project.
Thank you for trying.
I am still open to suggestions for a different app. Preferably one that works -
I have successfully restored my iPhone 3 gs( Ios ) by itunes. After activation it is asking for activation.

I am trying to use my wifi to activate my iphone but it iss not processing then i used itunes to activate by it's again saying that no sim card is detected.
My all contacts and all data is in this mobile. Now Iam unable to contact anyone. Please help me. How can I sort it out?
Thank you

Wazir AliWell, if you did it yourself, then there is a chance that you damaged some other component inside the device that is causing your issue. The iPhone's are not user serviceable, and once you have opened the device you have voided any warranty and post-warranty support from Apple. I would try Google to see if you can find any other way to repair your device, as Apple will no longer look at it.
Maybe you are looking for
