I have multiple devices on the same account, can I increase my cloud allowance without paying extra?

Each device gives 5gig but multiple devices on the same account don't increase the cloud space. Do Apple recognise this and help?

I am not being harsh, the truth is you are really creating problems for yourself e.g. calendars, contacts, etc. are all mixed up.
Support Communities are there to show you how to use the devices as intended, the "criticism" is about how you use the devices and not about you as a person. We are trying to help if you can listen.
You can use Find My Friends instead of Find My iPhone for your purpose.

What is the best way to have multiple devices on the same account so we can still share the same library. Right now I have 7 and I believe it's causing them to malfunction.

I have multiple devices on the same itunes library and they all starting to have the same issues. Not recognizing numbers previously stored, not sending/receiving tests. Do I need to get everyone separate itunes accounts?

What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network?
One iTunes library per person. One iTunes account per person.
If people wish to share songs, they can make copies.
When the inevitable day comes when the kids get older, you will not have to come back here and post asking how all that stuff can get separated!

HT1311 can you see which device bought something on iTunes where you have multiple devices on the same iTunes account?

is there any way to find out which device dowloaded apps when you have multiple devices using the same itunes account?

The purchase information does not include the device used, but does include the Apple ID used for the purchase.
Apps downloaded on one device with the same Apple ID can be downloaded on another device with that Apple ID.

I have multiple devices with the same cerificate, once I have a an exception for one, FF denys access to the others. I cannot change the certificates, I need to stop FF blocking them.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

You can't use the same certificate more than once.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
They can all share your iMessages, just make sure the settings on each device are set to send and receive from the same numbers and addresses.

I have multiple devices and one itunes account can they have separate icoulds?

Settings > iCloud > Sign in with the desired Apple ID.
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Sign in with the desired Apple ID.
The two above can be different Apple IDs, mine are.

Setting up multiple devices on the same account

In my house, we have 2 iPhones, 2 iPods, and an iPad mini. Seems like everytime we add a device, they are registering under the same account. How do I correct that problem without restoring each device?

I have multiple Imacs with the same account at different locations...

I have 4 Imacs, all the same generation running OS X and an Ipad that I use for work. Each are located in a different location. Is there a way to sync them all so that when I put photos or documents in one, it will send to each of them? I have Google Drive and Dropbox, but I would prefer a more integrated option directly in Apple. I heard that more sharing options were available with the latest OS, but I don't want to necessarily update if it still will not accomplish my overall goals. I'm sure this has been asked, but when I search I seem to find nothing but differentiating between 2 Ipads, or 1 Mac with multiple accounts instead of the other way around. Any help appreciated.

Can I upgrade a computer from Snow Leopard to Lion by using an already upgraded account? I have multiple computers on the same account.

I already have an upgraded desktop, but I also have a MacBook Pro that I want to update from 10.6.8 to 10.7. They are registered under the same account, but the MacBook Pro is under a diferent email. Is there a way I can use the software I have on my desktop to upgrade the MacBook Pro, or do I need to take it to an Apple Store?

Launch the Mac app store on the computer you want to update.
To use your Apple ID at the Mac App Store
Choose Store > Sign In from the App Store menu.
Enter your Apple ID and password, then click Sign In.
Then redownload Lion.

HT4436 Can I have multiple devices using the same iCloud account?

We want to use "Find my iPhone" in iCloud to keep track of all of our corporate-owned devices so we use the same iCloud account on all devices. If we enable iCloud backup, will that cause problems? Will the latest backup be the one that gets picked up if we need to do an iCloud restore?

Go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then if you're using iOS 7 enter the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted. This only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud. The other device won't be effected by this. Also, when you delete the account you will be prompted about whether or not to keep a copy of the iCloud data on the device or delete it. Finally, if you want to keep any of the photo stream photos on the device, save them to the camera roll before deleting the account.

HT3406 HOW DO I USE MULTIPLE DEVICES ON THE SAME ACCOUNT WITHOUT CONFLICTS ESPECIALLY USING FACETIME ?

Please help,
My daughter has an Ipod, I have an Iphone. Both are on my account. When she facetimes me, I will not go through. It looks to her Ipod like I am calling myself. How do I fix this?
Thanks, kniproduction

An iPhone can only be connected to a single copy of iTunes at a time for music, movies and videos, whether or not you set it to be manually managed. Manual management only allows you to control what you put on the iPhone; unlike with other models of iPod, it does not allow you to connect the iPhone to multiple computers. If you move the iPhone to another copy of iTunes, it will erase all the content and there's no way I know of to get around it. The only way to have all the same content on your iPhone when you connect to another computer is to get all that content into iTunes on the computer first.
Why that is I don't know, but that's the way it is.
'm well aware that there exist programs where I can pull everything off my phone and put it back on once its resynced, but I'm looking for different options.
There are no other options that I've heard of.

Change Apple ID on one device only. Currently have multiple devices sharing the same apple id.

Hi
I currently have three devices sharing one Apple ID. Ipad (Work) Iphone (Wife) & Ipod Touch (Son)
I have purchased an iPhone for Christmas and want to migrate the ipod to a new Apple ID. I haven't created the an ID for the phone yet but just wondered what the easiest solution would be? Would it be a case of creating a new ID on the phone, then signing into the iPod with this ID. I understand whatever has been downloaded to the Ipod will no longer be available, but wondered if there were any solutions to this problem.

You can have media from more than one account on an iOS device. Note that
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
I would set up the iPhone by:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
Then on the iPod yocan either erase it and set it with the new ID or:
Use the new ID on iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases if you want to

If I have multiple iPods on the same account how do I message just one

If I have multiple iPods how do I communicate with just one

On the other iPods go to Settings>Messages>Receive At and add a unique email messaging address and delete the original email address.

HT4314 Can someone elaborate on if w have multiple people using the same account. I cannot log in to my gamecenter account. How do I get into mine and not my brothers

My two brothers and I share a apple account (as is reccomended by apple). I updated m iPod touch to ios 5.1.1. When I came back I had been logged out of my gamecenter account. This is no problem but when I went to log in. I couldn't get into my account. I kept logging in to my brother gamecenter account. I have a lot of time invested into some of the games and I'd really like to play them but cant without a gamecenter account. If someone would help it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tracy,
I don't suspect Malware yet, Id guess Disk corruption or failing Hard Drive with Files not found.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Multiple devices on the same iTunes account

I have an iTouch Gen 4 and will be getting an iPhone 5s. Is it possible to have both devices on the same account (same Apple ID) with music on one device and apps on the other? Possibly sharing a couple of same apps between the two devices.

Go into Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive on the devices that your would not like to get your text messages to.
Then remove the email addresses that you would not like to be reached on, especially the one that is the same as your Apple ID.
Just leave the phone number there, and then the text messages should only appear on your iPhone 4s.
