There is no such thing as "sub-accounts".
Multiple Apple ID's can be used on a single device.
Created unique Apple ID's for each user and use those Apple ID's on the appropriate devices from iCloud and iMessage. This will not affect the media on the device.

If you mean that is one persone purchases an app it appears on all device then on each device go to Settings>Store and turn off automatic downloads.

HT1414 Why do I get 'This message has no content' with some e-mails on my iPad when the same messages can be received on my MacBook Pro without any problem, and how can I fix it?

Why do I get - 'This message has no content' - with some e-mails on my iPad when the same messages can be received on my Mac Book Pro without any problem and how can I fix it?

Is this a POP (POP3) email account? If so, you MacBook Pro may be retrieving the email and deleting it off the server before your phone can. Another possibility is that both your Mac and your phone are trying to retrieving it at the same time, and the POP server, which will only allow a single email client connection at a time, is locking out your phone resulting in the "has not been downloaded from the server" error.

Once again, I have problems sending e-mails from my iPad 2. I have a telus account and I have dealt with their tech people and they have checked all my settings and everything is fine. Apple techs advised to open Gmail acct. and re-route through it? Why?

I am having a difficult time trying to send e-mails from my iPad 2? I have contacted my Telus server tech people and we have double checked all my settings. Everything is properly set! Checked with my Apple people and they say this is a common problem with my server, yet others with the same server don't seem to have a problem. They suggested that I open a Gmail account and infor my mail server(Telus) to route my mail through my Gmail account? Does thei make sense? Are ther any other solutions I might investigate?

Hi prettytoni,
I saw one interesting solution to set a gmail account like as it is a "Microsoft Exchages" account... Maybe you can try to do the similiar with your Telus account? (I'm not sure about the result, but still you can try it))))

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

I have two iphones sharing the same e-mail and if one deletes an incoming email, it is deleted from the other iphone. How can I stop that?

I have two Iphones that share the same email. we got new 4s phones. Now if one person checks/deletes email, it does not show up on the other phone
and it is taken off the server.
How can I fix that?
I want it to go to both phones and to remain on the server even if I delete it off my phone.
Thanks

You must be using a POP3 account like verizon.net
using IMAP like gmail will help some of your problem, not all...
even on IMAP accounts once one person checks the email it will not show as a "new" message anymore... and if deleted it will still be gone from both phones...
There are settings you can change in the advanced section of the IMAP account settings that designate the phone NOT to delete messages at all as well... thought this is also an option on POP3 account settings too.

I have 2 iPhones using the same itunes on one computer, how do I sync each

I have 2 iPhones using the same itunes on one computer, how do I sync each one separately and how do I sync my outlook contact separately.... please help

I tried that and it says "The information on the iPhone "Michael's iPhone is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync this iPhone with the information from this user account instead?
"Merge Info merges the information on this Iphone with the information fro this user account.
"Replace Info" replaces the information on this iPhone with the information from this user account."
I am not sure which user they are talking about. Is it my phone (the one that is hooked up) or the other phone?

We have three people under the same iTunes account how do u separate them

We have three phone under the same phones account

What exactly do you want to accomplish?
You could, of course, have one person use the existing account and have the other two people create new unique accounts. This will allow you to keep everything separate. Those creating the new accounts should delete any apps that were downloaded or purchased with the original account and download or purchased those apps using their own unique Apple ID.

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
MacBook
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.......

It sounds that you are running the same iCloud account with two phones. I recommend you to create a different iCloud account and you should be all set.

Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account. Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want. How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID?

Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account. Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want. How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID? If so, where do I need to change his email address info, so that his calender and contacts remain his? Thank you

You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours. If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for). You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

If i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

if i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

Yes, but if you want these devices to have complete capability of calling each other they each must have their own separate, individual e mail address. If they don't have individual e mail addresses, the i phones will be able to call each other because you'll be using their individual phone numbers -- the Mac mini will be able to call the i phones, but, the iphones will not be able to call the Mac mini. This is because the iphones will be using the mini's e- mail address to make the call, and if they have the same e mail address, they will think they are calling themselves, so the call will not connect.
So, the way I see it is, if you keep all of the email addresses the same, the only thing you'll loose is the ability of the iphones to call the mini.
EDIT: Thinking about it, my first sentence needs to be modified. Your iphones can share an email address but it must be different from the Mac mini address.
This isn't rocket science, but it can make your head spin. LOL
