Ipad only recognizes one Apple ID
I have two Apple IDs with the same password. On the iPad, only one is recognized. Every time I try to sign in with the other, and type in the password, the iPad rejects it. Why is this?
I have some purchases on one ID, and some on the other, and that is why I have to sometimes switch IDs.
iTunes match is enabled under one of the IDs.
Any help is appreciated.
This ID mess started because I was seeing Apple messages that all IDs had to be email addresses, so I created a second ID. The problem is that some apps and purchases were under one ID, and some under the other ID. now, I never know which ID to log on with, and it takes at least a couple of attempts to log in, where Apple accepts the ID and password.
Also, I have iTunes Match under one of the IDs.

HT1430 iPhone only recognizes one home wifi network but ipad recognizes both
I have two home wifi networks. My iphone only recognizes one wifi which is the slower. Ipad recognizes both. I've turned router off and on and turned iphone off and on and makes no differences. Also ipad used to pick up unsecured wifi networks but no longer does
which I don't want but wonder why that suddenly changedHey Dann4ever,
I would follow these steps for when you're unable to locate a Wi-Fi network on your iOS devices:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap i and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Verify that the network is available by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi and choosing from the available networks.Note: It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.
Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find out which standards your device supports3.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

HT1670 Sync iPhone/Entourage will only recognize one of my two iPhones?
I have two iPhones. One I have managed to sync no problem, but the second is just not interested! A friend told me that with iPhone/Entourage will only recognize one iPhone, if so is there anything I can do to sync my second phone?
Hi, Darcie13.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed.

I have my daughters Ipod, my iphone, my wife's Iphone and Ipad on the one Apple ID. Since the latest update we are receiving Imessages from our daughter's Ipod with my wife's caller ID on the one message strand.
Is it possible to differentiate between all the devices?Can I fix this problem?I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
and Settings>iCloud if you want her 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. -

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you using the same homesharing ID for both computers, are they on the same network. -
I have a game but it only for one apple id and one divece but someone i dont know id play that game and using my apple id and i want to know if u can block them from using ur apple id and also erase all the games they downlode with the apple id
There probably is, but it requires that you be able to use punctuation and write in sentences so that we can understand exactly what you want.
You can block others from using your Apple ID by changing your password. There is no way to erase what was already downloaded on to someone else's device, for obvious reasons, -
I recntly got a iphone and i gave my daughter my ipod and we only have one apple id, is there a way to seperate the two so I don't see her instant messages? or do we have to have seperate apple IDs?
Create a second Apple ID for a separate iCloud account. You can still share the Apple ID for iTunes purchases, but separate for the cloud.

Trying to use multiple Blue Snowball Microphones, but Mac only recognizes one!
Trying to record using multiple snowball mics by blue, but the Mac will only recognize one device at a time. Only one shows up in system preferences, and in trying to create an aggragate device. If you have both plugged in, the audio levels freeze up, and the devices become unresponsive.
I have seen similar threads around but no one seems to have any answers. Blue's tech support is closed for the weekend so I can't call them. Please help if anyone has any ideas.Typically, over USB I can only get my computers (mac and PC) to recognize 2 channels at a time over one source. If your computer is recognizing one and not both or the other when both are plugged in, I think one is all you're going to be able to use. Also, in the system preferences under Sound, if you are able to only select one or the other, I believe all you can do is select which one you want to use.
Those micrphones work well and one should do a good job. Don't forget about Micrphone Phase Cancellation.
"Two microphones, intended to pick up two sound sources must be placed apart at least three times the distance that either microphone is from it’s intended sound source." http://www.recordingeq.com/articles/321eq.html -
I only have one apple ID and facetime has worked with it before, but now I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". I have looked ofr a solution but can't find one. can anyone help please?
I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues! -
IPhone and MacBook Pro but only have one Apple account
Brand new to the MacBook Pro world. First Apple laptop (or Apple computer at all for that matter) so of course I have some questions. I think I am correct in saying that basically each Apple device has to be separate and apart from another even if they reside in the same household. Meaning that each one has to be logged on to a separate and unique Apple account and email address for things like Facetime and iMessage to work properly. So, with that said......If I personally own the iPhone and MacBook Pro but only have one Apple account how can I make them both work separately and independent of each other??? The problem I've noticed is that Facetime and iMessage do not work and conflict with each of the two devices.
Hi BigDisMe,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Congratulations, and welcome to the Mac World. Actually, you can use an Apple ID, together with iCloud to make your devices work together. Both devices can be connected to the same Apple ID, and use Facetime, Messages, and email together.
As long as both of your devices are updated to the latest OS, OS X 10.9 Mavericks for your MacBook and iOS 7.0.4 for your iPhone, you can:
On Mac:
1. Open System Preferences-iCloud
2. There should be a button somewhere that says, "Add Account".
3. Use your Apple ID to log in.
4. Make sure to enable your Messages, Facetime, and email accounts.
5. There is no Step 5.
On iPhone:
1. Open Settings-iCloud.
2. There should be a button somewhere that says, "Add Account".
3. Use your Apple ID to log in.
4. Make sure to enable your Messages, Facetime, and email accounts.
5. There is no Step 5.
Good Luck,

My iPhone and iPad cannot recognize my Apple ID. I have changed the password three times.
Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you. -
Itunes is restoring the software on this Ipad.
But nothing done.
Always "Waiting for Ipad".
On my Ipad, only is there Apple logo.
What do I do now?How long has it been displaying the Apple logo? Does it have a progress bar underneath?
If you feel like it's been that way for too long, try putting the iPad in Recovery Mode:
Leave it plugged into the computer. Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the screen goes black and the Apple logo reappears. At that point, release the power button but continue holding the home button until iTunes on your computer says "iTunes has detected a device in Recovery Mode." Then click "Restore" in iTunes. -

When you bring up Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder, then, you only see one CPU usage graph when you click the "CPU" tab at the bottom? Not something like this:
If that's the case, we have a puzzle on our hands, since the diagnostics should report a failed CPU, I would think..
Just for kicks, in System Profiler, what is your information display? Copy down to just before the serial number, as in (my ancient machine)

Multiple devices (iPads & iPods) on one Apple ID - questions
OK, here are my questions. Any help/advice would be appreciated as I'm only a recent Apple convert (after 30 years of refusing to buy Apple!):
a) Can I manage my entire family's devices (4; 2 iPads + 2 iPod Touch's) with a single Apple ID (which also happens to be my email address)?
b) If I do this, do I just need to pay for any app once, and the whole family can use it on their respective devices simultaneously? (I come from the Microsoft/PC world where it's always 1 user at a time per license - such as MSOffice)
c) Can we play multiplayer games via wi-fi, bluetooth, or gamecenter/OpenFeint, etc. using our 'single purchased' app on each device? I'm talking about games like Dungeons 2 HD, Words with Friends, etc. Note that each device may have a different version (HD, universal, iPhone/iPod only, iPad only, etc.).
d) What about more expensive business type apps like Documents to Go or even the IOS version of MS Office 2010? Can these be shared and used by all devices with just one purchase?
e) What happens to apps like Messaging, FaceTime, or iCloud? If the 4 devices are all signed on under 1 Apple ID, can we each communicate separately...and simultaneously? If someone messages my daughter, I don't want to get the message on my iPad, etc. How do we retain our Messaging-specific identity? FaceTime? iCloud space?
f) If I re-register one of the devices (my wife's) that's currently on her own Apple ID over to my Apple ID, what happens to her previously purchased apps (under her current Apple ID)?
g) Are in-app purchases also "shared" by every device linked to a single Apple ID?
h) When I synch each device to iTunes after they're linked to a single Apple ID, will the synch try to install every app that we 'collectively' purchase...instead of just the ones we each want on our device? Will the synch also attempt to download every song and video which may be on the iTunes account?
LOTS of questions, but I'm still a newbie to the wonderful Apple ecosystem. Although I was totally skeptical at first, if in fact multiple users within a household can use an app purchased just once, this is a HUGE plus over the whole PC/Microsoft and even Android ecosystem!! But before I flip the switch and move the other devices over to a single Apple ID (mine), I'd like to hear from some of you who have some definitive answers. Any DISadvantages to running all 4 devices from a single Apple ID? I'm also a bit confused as to the linkage between an Apple ID and an email address, as well as the hierarchy/relationship between an Apple ID and an iTunes account.
Thanks in advance!Answers that I know :
a, yes - I have an iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch linked to my account on the same computer/iTunes and haven't had any problems with it
b, you only need to purchase the app once, it can then be copied onto all your devices. Some of my apps are on all three of my devices. If you get newspapers or magazines then I believe that some only allow one download of each magazine/newspaper, so you may not be able to have them on each device.
c, as long as you have your own Game Center accounts then you should be able to - I've never used it
d, yes, you can have them on all your devices, you don't need to multi-purchase them
e, I think that you will each need your own email address for them - in Settings > iMessage you can link an email address with messaging, and similarly for FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) - that way messages/calls will only go to the correct person. Using FaceTime ; there is also some info on the built-in apps in iPad's manual and iPod's manual
f, all content purchased via an iTunes account is tied to that account, and they cannot be copied or transferred to a different account. So any content purchased on your wife's account will remain tied to her account. You can have more than one iTunes account authorised on a computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer), so you can have her content as well as yours on the computer that you sync to.
g, don't know, I've not made any in-app purchase
h, with the device connected to and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, then on the tabs on the right-hand side you can control what is synced to that device. Those selections should then be remembered each time you re-connect that device, so you can have different selections for each device and you shouldn't have to re-do the selection each time you connect it.
