IMessage and other services with Apple ID

There are four people in my family.  We all have iPhones.  My mom and dad and me are all on the same Apple ID.  My sister has her own apple ID.  For Mom, Dad, and I, iMessage and Find Friends conflicts.  Is there a way to have separate Apple IDs but still share purchases like apps, songs, and movies?

  • Imessage and other Issues with 3rd Gen iPad

    Hi there, just got a 3rd Gen iPad for the mrs and so far it's been great.
    However, several rather annoying issues have developed and I can't seem to find the right trouble shooting for it, so I thought I'd try here.
    So here they are:
    iMessage & facetime don't work
    Issue 1- Each time she uses her Apple ID log in for either feature a message "iMessage Activation: Could no sign in. Please check your network connection and try again". I've checked the network settings, I've reset them on the iPad and yet it seems to persist. Her appleID is valid as it works on her iPhone, which is using the same network/Wifi as the iPad, yet the iPad seems to decide it doesn't want to activate. I've signed in on my appleID and the same message seems to appear
    Issue 2 - When using apps like Chrome a constant message will appear "Connect to iTunes to use push notifications" every time the app is open. This has been done, it's been backed up and it has connected to iTunes, yet these messages still pop up each time chrome is opened.

    I also am having issues with my ipad mini as far as imessage . sometimes it works fine . Sometines I receive ok but it hangs on sending . i have tried everything . I think the apple server is a mess  Most times I can only send If i am replying to a message i received . If i try to start a message it hangs . No reason found

  • HT204053 Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services from two different devices - iPhone and iPad?

    Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services simultaneously on two different devices - iPhone and iPad? It seems those are competing to each other, and the services work on one of them only (iPhone).

    Many thanks, Sir! Both are mine and it's good to know that imessage can work on both with the same Apple ID. Will now have to find out why imessage stopped working on iPad when it started on iPhone (new). After exploring the forum I understand  that there may be plenty of reasons why imessage does not work, even though it worked previously on the same device with the same ID.

  • I can't sign in to imessages and face time with my apple ID, how i can fix it ?

    I can't sign in to imessages and face time with my apple ID, how i can fix it ?

    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and getting a iPod touch for my child, my question is whether to create separate account or have a shared account? I want to share some music and apps but not all and I also want her to be able to iMessage and face time with her owniPod

    I have an iPhone 4 and getting a iPod touch for my child, my question is whether to create separate account or have a shared account? I want to share some music and apps but not all and I also want her to be able to iMessage and face time with her own iPod and own account .   What's the best way to go?

    You can use one Apple ID for purchasing (App Store & iTunes Store) and shared with your child whereas your child uses a different Apple ID for Game Center, e-mail, FaceTime, iMessage. Even on iCloud there you'll get an extra 5GB free. 

  • How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
    As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
    She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
    As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue.

    Let the battery fully darain. After charging for an least an hour try a reset and restore. Use Recovery mode if necessary.
    If not successful, then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    nowadays have many user have problem with update to ios7 and need active with apple id maybe in the future in order escape from these problems must be stop use these products else. Because of simple user don't know about this technology and sometime just hear from other user that it 's difficult to use then force they change phone that use to handle to another.

    It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.

  • HT4550 Why does my Safari open with American version and home page with Apple iPhone 5 advert even though I have changed them in preference

    Why does my Safari open with American version, and home page with Apple iPhone 5 advert even though I have changed them in preferences, it happens every time no matter how many times I change them, when I open Safari its back to the USA and Apple home page.

    Try this.
    Hold the shift key down and launch Safari.
    Best.

  • HT5439 Has anyone had the Network time and date error with Apple TV when traveling?

    Has anyone had the Network time and date error with Apple TV when traveling?

    Jasion,
    Maybe a bit beside the question, but it is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky, at least for a while, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
    In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

  • Device Enrollment Manager and Bulk Enrollment with Apple Configurator

    Hello,
    Regarding the Device Enrollment Manager and Bulk Enrollment with Apple Configurator features released with Microsoft Intune in november/december 2014:
    When will these features be available for the Intune hybrid parity? (Intune + SCCM 2012 R2)
    We would really like to utilize the Device Enrollment Manager user account for shared device scenarios and the bulk enrollment feature to deploy multiple IOS devices to classroom iPads but we are "on hold" for now until these features will be released
    for the hybrid parity version of Intune.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/nb-no/library/dn764961.aspx
    https://technet.microsoft.com/nb-no/library/dn764958.aspx

    There is no information available about when new features will be released. Probably this will be available in either a future CU, or vNext. Looking at the possible impact of that change, I would guess vNext.

  • Problems with iMessage and Contacts after changing Apple ID

    I went in on my computer to change my primary e-mail for Apple and it prompted me to change my password. After I changed the e-mail and the password, my iMessage stopped working on my computer and my iPhone. On the computer, iMessage now works through my iCloud e-mail only. I really wish it would go back to working through my cell phone number. Additionally, now all my contacts have been deleted, on the computer and the iPhone. Is there any way I can get iMessage to work through my cell phoone number on my computer again and get my contacts back on either device?

    Well did you change the apple id in imessage?
    settings - message - add your new id and delete the old id.
    Or turn off imessage and then back on to reactivate with your new id.
