IMessage on multiple devices with 1 Apple ID

Hi all,
I previously had my iPhone 3GS and iPad 2 set up with 1x email under the 1 Apple ID.
I was able to test this by sending an iMessage to myself and it would then message to both my devices.
My wife now has my old 3GS as I have since upgraded to the 4S.
I set up my new 4S with no problems, all works perfect.
I then went to update the old 3GS by removing my email address and adding my wife's email address under the Settings > Messages > Receive At > Add Another Email
After adding my wife's email, I had it verified and it then let me remove my email address.
Tested iMessage between my wife's 3GS and my 4S – no problems.
I have now gone to gone to compose a new iMessage on both my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 and I can now no longer send a test iMessage to myself.
Am I perhaps missing a setting or left something out?
Much appreciate any advice.

After more testing it seems I can only send and receive iMessages on the 4S to phone numbers, not email addresses.
I tried to send an iMessage to my listed email address from the 4S but nothing has come thru yet.

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

I need to know the best way to link multiple devices with different apple ids to the same iCloud to share iTunes and content.

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 to delete iMessages on multiple devices.

When iMessage is activated on multiple devices with the same Apple ID, will deleting the message on one device delete it on all others?

No, it will not.

If i have multiple devices with my icould account can they all read my text messages?

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.

Multiple devices, one Apple ID

Hi-
My husband and I share an Apple ID (multiple email addresses). He often plugs in his iPhone to sync it to our iMac. If I plug in my iPhone, will it delete my contacts and sync with what is uploaded to the computer (his contacts)?

There is that risk, but there are ways to avoid problems. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495 for advice on how to use multiple devices with the same computer.

Imessenger - Multiple Devices 1 Apple ID

My fiance and I each have an IPhone 4s and I have an IPAD 2 all activated through the same Apple ID. When sending messages to each other it appears it is always coming from the same device (I.e. If i send a message from my phone it shows up as her name on her phone). Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Should it not come from what the device is named?

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.

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

Multiple devices with the same GUID

Hi,
According to the Zenworks Command line utilities reference https://www.novell.com/documentation...a/bb15p2z.html
There exists an option to register a device with a new GUID by doing the following...
register (reg) [-g] [-k <key>] [-u <username> -p <password] <ZENworks Server addressort>
Registers the device in a Management Zone.
You can use the following options:
g - Lets you create a new device object with a new GUID and password for the device if you have multiple devices with the same GUID. When you register a device by using this switch, all the associations (policies and bundles) assigned to the original device object are removed. You cannot use this option to create a new GUID for a Primary Server or a Satellite device. The local user must have Local Administrator rights to use this option.
I would like to know if it is possible to have such a command line option for the agent installation. So built into the agent installer, a command line option to force the agent to register with a new GUID.
We are having CONTINUOUS problems with the above scenario. When we move devices from one computer lab to another and re-image the device, Zenworks keps trying to assign the same GUID to the device and this mixes up our Dynamic Workstation groups, which then affect the applicable policies to each device.
I would like to know if there is an option to tell the installer to stop remembering the GUID and simply register the device with a new guid on agent installation.
This way we can build that into the post imaging scripts which install the zenworks agent.

Hi Craig,
OK, I've had a look at the ZCM Reconcile rules and run a few tests to see if it is possible to get the machines not to reconcile (use a new GUID after imaging).
As I have explained before, sometimes this result is desired in our case especially when we move machines around from lab to lab.
So far, no matter what configuration I use, I cannot get Zenworks to generate a new GUID for a device that is getting re-imaged (without doing so only after the fact by unregistering the machine and reregistering the machine via the zac und and zac reg -g).
We use dynamic workstation groups to assign policies and bundles to machines so reconciling the devices is not necessary most of the time. We need an option to tell the machine to register with a new GUID on installation of the agent. Surely such an option can be built into the agent installer?
The options in the ZCM config management "reconcile settings" I tested with are:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Unticked/Unselected
Enable Differentiation - Unticked/Unselected
I then also tested:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Ticked/Selected
Enable Differentation - Ticked/Selected
and also:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Ticked/Selected
Enable Differentation - Unticked/Unselected
With all three different configurations, I re-imaged the same machine, which renames the machine via the first post imaging installation script to match the DNS name. Thereafter the Zenworks agent gets installed, which then renames the machine back to what it was registered into the Zenworks database with on first installation.
We need a method of telling Zenworks NOT to reconcile when we want it to. It should not reconcile every time and thereby rename the machine netBIOS name.
Is there any way to achieve this?

The same thing could apply if bringing in new Hardware.
If a new computer were to replace an old computer but the name stayed the same, everything could be automatic depending on the rules setup.
It is all a matter of how you tell ZCM to reconcile devices.
The Help in the ZCC under these items should explain how it works so you can setup your rules to meet your use cases.

I've just seen this message for the first time and it's showing on 10 devices.
What I really love about Apple Configurator is the copious amount of context driven help offered to you.

Assigning ports to multiple devices with HH5

Im am trying to assign ports to each of my gaming devices (PS4, Xbox One and PC), these devices share some ports such as 3074, 80, 53, etc. I have set up the PS4, but when I tried to set up the Xbox One it wouldn't let me as the PS4 has duplicate ports.
Is there any way to set up multiple devices with the same ports?

You can only forward the same port(s) to one device.
If you forget about using port forwarding, and simply allow uPnP to allocate the ports, then you should be able to use one device at a time.

Multiple issues with apple devices.

First up is my iPhone 5. The major issue with it is that it cannot text anyone no matter what. I have reset the network settings multiple times but to no avail. I have even tried iMessage but that is only a temporary fix, as it doesnt allow me to text people without an iPhone. Secondly, it fails most of the time to connect to the 2.4GHz signal coming from my router, however, the 5GHz signal is proving to have much better results, but i cannot connect to it at all times, as the 5GHz signal cannot reach my room.
The second issue is my iPad 2. This device straight up wont connect to either signal, despite not only a network reset, but many factory resets.
I have heard of other devices in my house not having a great connection, namely my mothers MacBook Pro, but this is only the case with apple devices.
I am fairly certain my iPhone is under warranty, so is it possible to get a replacement, or will the current one be fixed.
Any insight or advice is greatly appreciated.

Did you reset the router? Is the wifi signal coming from the router? Since multiple devices are having problems connecting to your wifi, the problem might be there and not on the devices.
I would check that first. If that does not solve the problem, then take the iPhone to an Apple store or authorized service center.

Multiple Devices, One Apple ID, iMessage Chaos

Hi all,
Wanted to bring up a new "feature" of iOS 6 - probably already has been discussed here a few times, but this is a real pain and something that I think Apple has backwards.
My wife, daughter and I each have an iPhone 4, and son has an iPod Touch. All of us have upgraded to iOS 6, and we all share one Apple ID.
Everyone is able to turn iMessage on without any issue, but - every OTHER device is given the option of accepting messages sent to the newly activated device. They can either accept or deny the ability to do so, but then going into the iMessage settings they can reactivate this "feature."
Shouldn't the setup be that when activating iMessage from a device, it gives THAT device and only that device the option of whether the other devices have the ability to send / receive messages?
We were all wondering why on earth we were all receiving iMessages from friends of my wife, friends of my daughter, people I work with, etc. It's a huge hassle - so much so that we have all turned iMessage off.
Big disappointment in this implementation - the option to share should be owned by the device that is turned on, not the other devices that are already on the account.
Thanks,
Scott

OK, I think I'm getting it.
Example: dad, mom, son. (we need 4 AppleID accounts)
Dad's iPhone:
iTunes AppleID = family@ me.com
iMessage AppleID = dad@ me.com
Dad's iPad
iTunes AppleID = family@ me.com
iMessage AppleID = dad@ me.com
Mom's iPhone
iTunes AppleID = family@ me.com
iMessage AppleID = mom@ me.com
Son's iPod
iTunes AppleID = family@ me.com
iMessage AppleID = son@ me.com
Family Computer -- each person has their own User Login. So just like individual devices, we use the shared (family@ me.com) for AppleID on iTunes, but use our personal (dad@ me.com) appleID for Messages.
When Mom finally buy's an iPad and powers it up for the first time, it prompts her for an Apple ID.
From reading literature at Apple, I believe it initially applies this single AppleID to everything on your new device. It's up to the user to go in and change iMessage (within iMessage, sign-out of current AppleID and sign-in with a different one)
Is this correct?
