Is it possible to have the same Apple ID but several iCloud accounts?
My teenagers use my Apple ID and we like iTunes home sharing, but they want to have their own iCloud account. I don't find the answer anywhere.
mende1 is correct. Each iCloud account is associated with a single Apple ID. It is not possible to have multiple iCloud accounts with the same ID. If you want to create multiple iCloud accounts you have to use a different Apple ID for each one.
Note: you can have different iCloud accounts with different IDs and still share the same ID for iTunes. The ID you use for iTunes does not have to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

our family is currently using all the same Apple ID so we don't have to purchase thing twice, but now I want to set up the family share. Do we all have to have our own Apple ID to set up the family share? We do all have separate iCloud's accounts, I'm not sure if that even makes a difference.
Hello me1002,
That is a good question. Everyone will need their own Apple ID that is signed into iCloud and iTunes. When setting this up, someone will need to be the Organizer so whom ever it is will champion this. Then everyone else will need to sign in to each respective accounts and then the organizer will need to send out invites to join Family Sharing. If you get that all setup, remember that when making purchases from those Apple ID will belong to that specific Apple ID so if anyone leaves, others will not have access to that purchased content.
Start or join a family group using Family Sharing

2 iphone 4, 1 computer. i upgraded to ios 5 and just updated my wifes phone as well. her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts were put on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user acct on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal??
Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

I have changed my Apple id & password but I cannot change my icloud id on my iphone as it wont let me edit the id. I can edit the password but I can't log in with theprevious unchangeable id. Any suggestions?
Welcome to the Apple community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account") -

Create a new Apple ID for the one you want to change.

I have recently bought a second I phone4 and have the same apple ID on both of them, strangely I noticed the messages sent from one phone appearing the other one along with any pictures I sent from one of my Iphones. Is it possible to see the same msgs.
You need to setup different Receive At addresses for iMessage.
If you don't want the same pics on each, turn off PhotoStream.

CAn I change the apple I'd and password on one of my two iPads and will they both operate separately. Right now when my husband adds a game it also is added to the other one and when I add recipes in pages, they go into the other I pad too. When I purchased the new iPad I was told I had to have the same apple Id as the first one, I would like them to be separate, is this possible?
You need to create a new Apple ID to use with the other iPad, then sign out in Settings>iCloud and sign in with the new ID. Of course any data such as contacts and calendars which have been synced from the first iPad will be removed from the second one when you do this.

Anyone know how I can figure out which of my family's 5 Apple devices was used to purchase a specific song via iTunes ? We all have the same Apple ID/account which makes it tricky... Thanks!

What I was afraid of. Thanks. Seems like someone at Apple should be figuring this out. Would be nice to link each purchase to a specific device.
That would not be practical or probably even possible since one of the features of recent versions of iTunes and the iTunes Store is to allow new purchases to be automatically downloaded to every device registered to your Apple ID when something is purchased. If you want purchases linked to specific devices, each user should have his or her own iTunes Store account.

HT2731 Is is it possible to register the same apple ID in different App Stores?
Is is it possible to register the same apple ID in different App Stores meaning in different countries? I have an iPad registered in the Hungarian App Store but now I got an iPhone as well which I want to use in Germany because certain services restricted to the country. Can I use my existing apple ID in the German App Store too or should I create a new one?
Thanks!

My wife and I both have iPhone 4 phones. Neither of them have been upgraded to OSI 5. We share the same Apple ID to buy things, etc. We are planning to buy an iphone 4s for our daughter next month. We would all like to share the same Apple id so that we can make purchases from the same account ... that way we only fund one account. We would like to upgrade to OSI 5 and keep/share the same Apple id but be able to set up different iCloud accounts for when we sync our phones. How can we do that? One other thing, we like being able to fine our locations on the same screen (and would add our daughter) using Find My Phone. Can we still do that? Thanks in advance for your help.
You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc. -
I cannot use the password to update apps on my second IPhone. It only works on one of the phones. They both have the same Apple ID and password.
If it really does not work, change your password here https://appleid.apple.com (Manage account) and try to add the account again. I hope it helps.

I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.
Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:
Using Game Center
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
Game Center settings - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9a13d039
Game Center settings
Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
Allow invites
Let nearby players find you
Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.

I have an iPhone 4 thats i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? Aslo the are both on the same apple id but i dont know if that would help or not.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created. -
HT204380 Can I facetime talk from my Iphone to my Ipad if they have the same apple ID?
I want to talk to my child when I'm not at home. We have an Ipad that is in our house, and I have an Iphone on me all the time. When I call my e-mail address from my Iphone, it rings on my Ipad, but immediatly says it is busy. Is this because I have the same Apple ID set up for both devices? Is there a way to make it work anyway?
both superiormac and iCrizzo are wrong i have an iphone and an ipad 2 and have tried the same.
the key is to call the mobile no. (with which you registered the iphone) using the ipad or call the apple id you have on the ipad from iphone. But you have to sign out from the apple id from the facetime option in the iphone.
