Is there a way to set up two separate apple id's for imessaging with IOS 6?

My wife and I have the same Itunes account and we have turned off each other's devices on our own devices (so her phone does not receive my imessages and vice versa) but is there a way to set up a whole new Apple ID just for Imessages while keeping the same Itunes account for other things so her phone does not appear as a choice under my "send/ receive" options?
If that is not possible, is there a way to assign a new Apple id/Itunes account to one of our phones to keep them separate?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions regarding this topic.

Hi...
The recomended way of setting up Applleds is to have one common one for "the Stores" (iTunes, App Store & Mac App store) so that all purchases are shared, then a seperate individual account for iCloud syncing EACH
So for instance you'd have [email protected] for the stores and [email protected], [email protected] [email protected] & [email protected] for the individuals
Thats' what I've done here for myself, mrs & 4 kids.
Regards,
Shawn

  • My wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

  • Is There a Way to Set Up Verizon e-Mail as Default for mailto: Links?

    I am not technically savy so I need to have this question answered in an easy-to-understand manner (i.e. as if you're explaining to a 10-yo).  Seriously.  I would like my Verizon email account to open whenever I click on a web link for "mailto:" or if I merely want to send something from the web to one of my friends.
    Is there a way to do this?  Is there a way to put a shortcut for my Verizon email on my desktop?
    Thank you for any help you can offer.
    Using: Windows 7 Home Premium; 86-bit; Google, Firefox and IE 9 browsers (Google Chrome most of the time).

  • HT2731 Is there any way to set up a new Apple ID with a billing address in a different country?

    I recently moved to the US from the UK and bought a new MBP, but can't set up an account with a UK billing address. Thanks!

    I have a credit card issued by a US bank, but the billing address is back in the UK.
    Sorry, but that card won't work. The credit card has to be both issued by a bank in the country whose iTunes Store you wish to use and that has a billing address in that same country. A split card like yours, issued by a bank in one country but with a billing address in another, can't be used in the iTunes Store in either country.
    You'll need a credit card that is both issued by a US bank and has a US billing address, or will need to purchase US iTunes prepaid cards.
    Regards.

  • Is there a way to set a custom made ringtone as a text tone in iOS 5?

    I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1. I've made custom ringtones and synced them from iTunes and they work perfectly as ringtones. When I go to set a text tone the full list of alert tones is displayed and the standard iPhone ringtones are displayed, but my custom made ringtones do not appear. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

    No idea. I have done exactly that and set my custom ringotne as a sms alert tone. Worked fine
    Make sure youor custom ringotne is less than 30 seconds in length

  • Is there a way to run firefox at a higher frame rate for those with monitors capable of 120hz?

    I noticed that IE is smooth as silk when browsing websites compared to firefox. Is there an add-on or a setting I can change so that I can take advantage of my monitor which runs at 120hz?

    Thanks, how would you synchronize the loops?  I have gone through the Getting Started exercises and manual.
    Why would synchronization matter? Did you want them to run independantly at their own speed or not?
    Regardless, there's a synchronization pallette with functions for this, as Occurance.
    Other solutions include a common loop counter and a case structure executing every X'th iteration, or having the faster loop send a queue or event every X'th loop that controls the slower loop.

  • I live outside of the US and I dont have a US credit card but lots of itunes credit. Is there any way to get itunes match or is it only for people with US credit cards

    How do I get I tunes match without a us credit card

    iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability
    Once you determine if iTM is available in your country of residence then you'll need a credit card drawn on a local bank and an address to subscribe to iTunes Match.

  • My husband and I are using the same computer. He has a ton of songs in iTunes that I don't want...but when I sync my iPod I get all of his songs too. Is there a way of setting up another ITunes account without having to untick all of the ton songs iTunes

    My husband has a ton of songs in iTunes that I don't want on my iPod nano. Is there a way to set up a separate account on the same computer in iTunes? Do I have to un-tick all of his songs (would take forever!! And then he would have to tick them again)....when we sync our iPods?

    No. Its not possible.
    Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.

  • I have two separate calendars on iCloud (to share with two different groups), but I click on the second and try to enter data, it defaults to the first one I set up. How do I fix this?

    I have one iCloud account. I set up two separate calendars on iCloud to share with two separate groups.  But when I click on the second calendar and try to enter data, it defaults to the first/other calendar (wrong group to share with).  How do I fix this?

    Was this ever resolved? 
    Recently I set up a share for one calendar with another Apple user, through my iCloud.  Now I find that the shared calendar, which has maybe 50 entries a week because it is for keeping track of community center activities and printing out PDFs, appears in my personal Calendar --- unless I turnoff the sharing. 
    Is this generally true?  I cannot find any clarity on this on Apple Support.
    If so, I plan to stop the assistance to the other Apple user.  I will stop sharing the community center calendar that I set up on my computer and ask her to set up such a calendar on her own computer anew.   The sharing of Calendars does not work well.  It seems the shared calendar takes over as the only calendar one can see on one's own computer, replacing other calendars set up without sharing.  I can only "see" the other calendars by turning off the sharing on the shared calendar.   This is inconvenient.  Basically shared Calendars take over!

  • Hi guys. Just a quick question. My wife has a Mac Book Pro and when she is browsing the web she can use a two fingered gesture to go back to her previous page (by swiping from right to left). Is there any way to set that up on my iPad Mini. Many thanks.

    Not in the Safari browser she can't. That is not supported on the iPad. There are other mobile browsers that do have that functionality - one is iCab Mobile.

  • Is there a way to set the default reminder to "two days"?

    When I switched from iCal to iCloud Calendar I lost the ability to have all reminders set to 2 days!  Is there a way to set this as the default for iCloud Calendar?

    That's only possible with events.

  • My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?

    My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?
    It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
    Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
    Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
    Thank you in advance.

    FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

    Will we have to create a seperate account for her, or can we all have the same one?
    You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
    I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
    I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
    Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
    Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
    The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
    I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
    You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own.

  • I have 5 devices all on one itune account.i have not activated icloud because i dont want it to sync all our information together. is there a way to set it up to only sync the music together and not the contacts photos messages etc

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match, iCloud doesn't sync music.  Just set up every person's devices on a separate iCloud account and your iCloud data and photo stream will remain separated.  Each iCloud account will need a separate ID, but it does not need to be the same as your iTunes ID.  You can continue to share the same iTunes ID and maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs for iCloud.
    You'll also want to use separate IDs for each person for iMessage and FaceTime.  This will keep your text messages and FaceTime called separated as well.  The easiest way to do this is to have everyone use their iCloud ID for these two services as well.

  • Is there any way to set a content font in Safari 6.0?

    I just upgraded to Safari 6.0 a few minutes ago and ran into my first problem almost immediately. Is there any way to specify the font I want to use for posting in Blogspot? It had been set to a certain font and size in Safari's preferences before I upgraded, but the new version is stuck on Times 12 (which I hate) with no way to change it. (When I use Firefox, there's a "content" setting in preferences that lets me set Georgia 16.)

    Nope, you haven't lost your mind...yet, though we may both be driven nuts looking for features and settings which have apparently been renamed, replaced or removed. For those of us laggards who have utilized Apple's OS X apps since they were originally compiled in NeXTStep or OpenStep, but have not yet made the leap into iOS (yes…incredible isn't it?), the enforced integration of the two can generate digital backlash.
    This morning I turned to a PDF version of Pogue's most recently published Missing Manual (900+ pages for $13) and still cannot find any reference to how one sets fonts in Safari 6.0…perhaps someone with a greater attention span than I will point me to something I've overlooked? Please...?
