I have multiple devices and multiple Apple ID's

Hi,
I wonder if any one can help, I am trying to get all my devices under one account however I cannot remember the other log in details for the other accounts. I was wondering whether there was a way to get this sorted so that I can then use all the devices on one account rather than others. My second issue is that I have had some one else's music on my iTunes of which I do not know how it got there as I never signed in with another account on my Mac (its happened on both iMac and MB Air). Is there a way to completely remove all other id's associated, so that it only picks up my music from my Accounts? I have been told I cannot merge two accounts together, I have memory issues and have only just remembered about the other accounts I have. if only there was a way to get all the music onto one account.
I have MB Air, iMac, iPhone 5s and iPad Mini
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

You can't merge accounts, nor can you transfer content between accounts - all downloads will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
If you can't remember the ids for the other accounts then if you have any of their downloads in your Macs iTunes libraries then you should be able to get their ids from them : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
Or you can try getting your ids via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID
You can get an account's password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com
For the account that isn't yours, then I'm no aware of an easy way to remove them from your iTunes library - presumably you don't know that account's password, if you did then you could deauthorise the account which would stop your iTunes being able to play them.

Setting up iCloud After iOS 6 for multiple devices and one Apple ID

We have a shared Apple ID for our iTunes Store purchases. We share a Mac, and we share an iPad. Each of us has a separate iPhone.
How should we set up iCloud to enable us to download pics that we take with our iPhone automatically to iPhoto on our shared Mac?
How can we maximize the 5GB space in iCloud?
How can we share calendars if needed so that if I edit an item on my iPhone, it automatically updates it on our Mac and my husband's iPhone?
I want to be able to leverage "Find iPhone" but I guess you can only have one device set to one iCloud account, correct? So if I lose my iPhone, I don't want all of our devices starting to ping at the same time (since the only one I'm trying to find is mine).
Separately, after upgrading to iOS 6, I lost my contacts, and my music. All my text message contacts in current conversations, were changed from the Contact Name to Phone numbers. And all the phone numbers now have a 1 ahead of them, despite the fact that I did not set it up originally like that.
HELP!

We can make multiple subscription for the same itunes user?
2 - When the transaction came to my device, i send the receipt file data to the server check on apple and create enable the content for that user. What the logic used to i know the customer by transactions in the receipt? If the user logout in app from their account, but the receipt still coming every week, how i know the customer by the transaction or receipt data after check on apple? How you do it?
3 - The user make a subscription on 1st may, i sent the receipt to server and the server enable the content to me. My app is never openned more or the app is uninstalled, i still receiving the money from that subscription if i dont call method "[[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] finishTransaction: transaction]" on app because he dont open the app? I have another way, like a callback service, to receive the transaction notifications, or only by app?
Im searching for this answer a lot, but not found
Can anyone help me?

My iphone 5s = apple id 1
Husband iphone 4s = apple id 2
My ipad = apple id 3
Son #1 ipad mini = apple id 4
Son #2 ipad mini = apple id 5
For iCloud.. Not quite, you want the same ID for iCloud on your phone and iPad so you have the same info on each. (so perhaps ID 1 on both.
But if you want to share your music (assuming lets say its your ID 1 that has the iTunes account), you should all use ID 1 for iTunes.

How do i manage multiple devices and multiple libraries?

Hello,
I have 3 computers (mine, my mothers, and my son's). I have 3 ipads, 2 iphones, and 3 ipod touch's that I need to manage and organize.
I want to take all the "kid stuff" off of my ipad, ipod, and iphone, and my mother's ipad and iphone, and put them on my son's ipad and ipod. Son's ipod used to belong to my mother, so it was started with her itunes account. I just synced it with his computer, but had to use her itunes account info to do it. Son's ipad is new and will be delivered soon. My 3 devices have been synced with my computer and my itunes account. Mothers 3 devices are synced with her computer. I just created another itunes account on my son's computer.
How can I get all this data moved around and put on the correct devices and the correct computers? OR, is there an easier way to do this that I don't know about? I'm pretty computer savvy, but my head hurts thinking about how to try to do all this.
I also have a Stora device that I would prefer to have all the media live on, rather than 3 individual laptops.
All of the ipads are generation 1, the phones are 3s and 4 (soon to be 4 and 4s), the ipods are all touch, but do not have cameras, and all the computers are window's based.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Sarina

Try going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>My Info (in the Contacts section), then select your contact from the list.

I have one apple ID but have multiple devices and multiple passwords. i can't seem to limit it to ONE single password.

each time i log in with my apple ID on a device it says password incorrect and i have to go through 2-step authentication to get a new password. this will work until i need to log into a different apple device with the same apple ID in which case i am told my password is incorrect and i have to create a new password. how can i make my ONE apple ID have only ONE password? thanks!

After you change your account's password you may need to log out of it on all of your devices (tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store) and then log back in with the new password so as to 'refresh' the account on them.

Multiple devices and 1 Apple ID

My wife and I each have iphone5 running ios7 and each have iPads running iOS 7. We have one Apple ID because we want to share music and photos. Using iMessage in this scenario is a problem. We have conversations that are private going to all devices. How can we correct this so that we can still share music and photos but can have private iMessage conversations?

Use the shared ID for the ITunes and App Store. Use the personal ID for iCloud, Facetime and iMessage. As Bob Harris noted above, this will allow you to continue to share music. I think the confusion is that you seem to be under the impression that the music is stored in your iCloud storage. It's not. If you go to Settings>iCloud, you'lll see exactly what is in iCloud.
Best of luck.

Using airplay with multiple devices and different apple IDs

I have Apple TV, iPod touch and iPad utilizing 2 different apple IDs. I can't seem to get airplay working on both devices. Help appreciated

iWeb is an application you can use to create webpages with.
Formerly it was part of iLife. But it is discontinued.
It doesn't work with airplay.
And since this forum is about iWeb, chances are very slim you will get an answer in this forum.
Why not ask in the Apple TV, iPod touch or iPad forums?

FaceTime with Multiple Devices and one Apple ID

What happens with FaceTime when I use the same Apple ID for my IPad and my IPhone 5? What do I need to do to manage which device receives FaceTime messages?

Create Apple IDs for everyone individually and use that in Settings > Facetime, Settings > Messages, Settings > Game Center but keep the Apple ID used for app and content purchases in Settings > iTunes and App Stores

HT204053 combining multiple device and multiple use logons

My iTunes, iCloud and Apple IDs and passwords, both current ones and those used over the last couple of years, are not the same. Can I use one sign in for all of them and how do I do it? I do use the same email for all of them.

Unfortunately, Apple IDs cannot be merged.

We have multiple users, each with multiple devices, on 1 apple id - as we want to share music and ibooks etc. We want the children to have access to the store, but with a financial limit. How do we do this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That's simply not possible I'm afraid. You'd need to give them their own account and allowance or make it so you are required to be there to input the password when they wish to make a purchase.

HT5649 Our family has a shared computer with itune software. We have multiple apple devices and multiple itunes accounts. Can we share the computer and iTunes software to back up each apple device separately?

How do multiple users with multiple devices share one computer with iTunes software to back up multiple devices and individual iTune libraries?

Hi Goodguy147,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The easiest way to have multiple users with multiple devices share a single computer is to create a User Account on your Windows PC for each person. Each person should also have a unique Apple ID. That will keep each individual's iTunes Library separate from the others and each individual can associate and backup several devices to their iTunes library.

Can I have one cloud for my family with multiple devices and apple ids?

What is the best way to set up devices and multiple computers for a family

I am trying to setup multiple devices and computers with home sharing. I currently have 1 apple I'd for my wife and one for me.   I want to set up home sharing for us and my two kids. We have two small laptops that stay at home and one that goes back and forth to work.
?1. Do i need to give up my apple I'd and share my wife's or vise versa or do I just enter it into my device iPhone or iPad when I want to load something from another library onto my device and the change I'd back. Will the stuff still be there then when I switch back to my apple Id.     Can I switch like that.
2. Should my kids each have their own apple I'd or just use the same one for multiple computers and devices.
3. Does a network system outside of wifi need to be setup for the computers another wards have the computers linked on a network. Or can they just be in the same place at the same time with wifi. Generic linksys Internet connection.

Unless you have 3rd-party apps allowing Windoze to read and write Mac OS Extended, or your Mac to read & write NTFS, your options are ExFat or Fat.   See #9 in Using Disk Utility.

Multiple devices on one apple ID

I have 3 devices on my apple ID. 2 of the devices are mine and the ipad is my sisters. I want to get the ipad onto a different new apple ID . 1) how do I do that? 2) If I do, will It delete all my stuff of the ipad?

You can setup as new and use a new Apple ID but all purchased apps are tied to the old Apple ID and is not transferable to the new ID.
Setting up as new will delete all the stuff on your iPad.
