IPhones on same iCloud account mixing up messages
My family has two iPhone 4's and one 4S all connected to the sme iTunes/iCloud account that have recently been mixing up messages. This problem just recently started where one message is intended to be sent from one of the phones to just one other (i.e. me to my mom or my dad to my mom) but instead the messages go to all three phones but are often shown as not sent at all, sent by the wrong person, recieved by the wrong person, or not displayed at all because all phones show that they sent the message. At other times a message is shown as being sent by the email adress the account is under or even I have sent a message but it is sent under another one of the phone's numbers and they recievd it under their own number! None of the phones are jailbroken and all are running on iOS 5.1, I suspect that this is an iCloud issue but I'm not positive. So far this only occurs between these three phones. If anyone knows what this is or how to fix it please reply
Thank you

With your solution does that mean we can all share apps, music, ect. over 6 total devices (iPad, iMac, 3 iPhones & 1 iPod Touch) and not distupting anything else? (It is a mess)
Yep...everyone uses the same Apple ID for iTunes content ONLY.

Can I have two Iphones on same iCloud account?
I use two separate Iphones on my Itunes account for easy access. However, I would like to activate Icloud on both phones but I'm guessing each phone would need a separate acount otherwise they would just sync the same info (calanders,contacts,etc.) correct?
But could I at least use the Find My Iphone app on the second Iphone if I just leave all the other Icloud options off? If I activate Find My Iphone on the second phone, will it just show two Iphones in the menu when I search for the Iphone on my Mac, or do I need to set up a second Icloud account for the second phone?
Thanks,

That will work just fine. -
Two iPhones using same iCloud account with separate contact lists?
Our family has two iPhones and we each use different contact lists. If we use the same Apple Id is there a way to separate the contact lists in iCloud or do we need separate account (i.e Apple Id's)?
I have my iphone and ipad on Apple icloud services and it finds both units. I think you have to have different account names set up in order to use it. Do you have itunes? if so you can add the device from there. For instructions go to http://www.apple.com check under support, then forums to see if that has been posted.
Good Luck -
Just got macbook pro with Mountain Lion installed. Have had an iphone for years and like using Messages as text client on the phone. I have both iphone and macbook connecting to same Apple ID account, but all of the conversations I have on my iphone are not showing up on my macbook - isn't this supposed to work?
You should check the iMessage settings on both your devices. Make sure you have identical receive addresses on both. That way you get iMessages sent to your phone number and email (if you use that) delivered to both. For example, if you have a "receive email" on yourMac and iPhone and you don't have your "receive phone number" set on your Mac, then iMessages sent to your email from another person will appear on both devices and iMessages sent to your phone number will only appear on your iPhone.

How to manage two iphones on same icloud account
I recently purchased additional storage on icloud (200gigs) and my wife and I are both using the same account under my name. Now my photos, notes and reminders etc. are showing up on her phone. Is there any way to change the settings so that her backed up data stays on her phone and mine stays on mine only?
If you are syncing Contacts, Notes and Reminders, no. That is an account (AppleID) specific function. Backups, however, are another matter and would remain separate since they are device specific.

My father updated his iPhone and once he did that he would receive all of my texts and iMessages, is that because we are on the same iCloud account? And if that's why how can I remove it or make it so he doesn't get all my messages
you can change the accounts of different apps in the phone's settings menu.

had ipod touch set up with icloud advised after purchasing another ipod and iphone to put all on same icloud account which has been great. Now one of the ipods has stolen, icloud found it and located it. trouble is now every e-mail is sent to all devices and i cant think of a way to keep track of the stolen one without deleting account. i need to get this ipod back as it was bought for someone special and wants it back. dont want to claim from home insurance. Also they were all set up with same apple account. I can face time the ipod but does it ring on all?
thanxI have phoned the police, they were very helpful and sent one police car to address of where the stolen one is suppose to be and anouthe police to my home address in the hope that when we send messages through icloud that the police can hear it. unfortunatly i dont know if both ipod are ringing. every e=mail ie this one also goes to both ipods.because they are both on same icloud and apple address. how can i still keep track on stolen ipod and change icloud id on the replacement.

I have 2 ipads and my iphone on the same icloud account and it wont let me back it up cause I dont have enough space. So I want to move my iphone over to a new icloud account with my new apple id that i made but i dont want to delete the ipads off the old account just move the iphone to the new one. How do I do that I despreatly need help!!!
To migrate your phone to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep on the phone, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your other devices won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7) and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted . Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.

Can you backup more than one iphone to the same icloud account?
My wife and I both have iphones and for simplicity's sake have always used the same itunes account and now with IO5 find that our itunes and icloud accounts are the same. Before enabling backup for our iphones we wondered if you can backup two different iphones to the same icloud account? Or will only one of us be able to backup to icloud and the other have to backup locally on our PC?
You can back both up with the same Apple ID (iCloud account). They will be kept as separate and unique backups.

If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well? I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.
No, it only mirrors changes to synced data. This includes mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari bookmarks, notes, iWork documents and data, and photo stream photos (assuming you choose to sync all this data). Changes to iTunes data such as music, apps, podcasts, etc., are not synced using iCloud. In your example, if you delete an app from one device it will remain on the other until deleted there too.

I have an iPad and iPhone backed up with the same icloud account but because iv two the storage has filled really quick, how can I have separate icloud accounts?
You got it with that same apple id thing. You can use different apple id's, but then they will not sync. Apple does allow as many free apple id's as you want, but they are in the business to make money.
