Linking different devices with the same Apple ID

I was wondering if there is a way to link different device to connect and push to each other within the same Apple ID. For example I have and iPad 2, iPhone 4 and MacBook Air. While my mom has an iPad, iPhone and uses our Mac desktop. My sister has her own iPod and so does my brother. We all use the same Apple ID to save money and make things easier. Is there any way to connect our own devices. It become inconvenient when games start downloading on my device or inappropriate songs I download go onto my sisters as she is 9. If there is no way to do this, would it be hard to ask for the ability for me (under the same Apple ID as my mom, brother and sister) to set it up so my devices push to each other. Meanwhile my mom could connect her device together? Thank you to anyone who helps in advance.

Up to 5 devices can share the same Apple-ID for iCloud and share / sync happily. You can selectively disable or enable components to sync or not, using the icloud controlpanel on Windows, the system preference pane in Lion or the settings->icloud in iOS5.
You just must ensure that all devices and machines run the compatible versions of OS and apps.
Macs : Lion 10.7.2 + iphoto latest
PCs : Vista / Win7 with Outlook, itunes 10.5 and icloud controlpanel
iDevices: iOS5

  • Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID?

    Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID? SO i could iMessage if out from my iPod to my iPad at home to be viewed by a family member?

    Look into using Apple Configurator.  It's the easiest way to "reimage" and Manage iPads that I know of right now.

    Also, look into using the Educational Volume Purchase Program, if you have not already done so.

  • Itunes match with two different libraries on two different computers with the same apple ID? How?

    I have a work PC that I synch with my itunes library and it works totally fine. I also have a macbook at home with a different library on it. Both compuers share the same apple id. will itunes match synch all the devices with the same library? If so do I only need one itunes match purchase or do I need one for each computer? The apple help desk (phone support) and apple store I recently visited were unable to provide me with answers to my questions.

    Just create a new account. On one iPod go to Settings>iTunes and App stores and sing out and sign in with other account. Same for Settings>iCloud and Settings Messages. Also go to Settings>Face time and add the new iD email addrss as the Caling email address and delete the other one.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Can multiple devices with the same apple id use airdrop

  • HT204053 how do i set up different devices on the same apple Id without merging the contacts from the separate phones

    can i set up multiple iphones on the cloud without merging all contacts?

    Not if they are all syncing contacts with the shared account.  You could allow them to merge, then create separate groups for each person's contacts on icloud.com.  Then each person can adjust their settings to only show the group that their contacts belong to and hide the rest.
    Another option is to keep the devices on the same shared primary account, and add different secondary account to each person's devices by going to Setings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter a separate ID.  Then each person can turn on contacts syncing in their secondary account and leave contacts syncing turned off in the shared primary account (in Settings>iCloud).

  • HT201493 can 2 pepole use find my friends on 2 devices with the same apple id

    My wife and I are connected to the same Apple ID we would like to use Find My Friends to follow each other but only one of use shows up on the map,

    The app should locate both phones if they are using the same iCloud account and the app is signed into the account.  If they are using different account, sign out, then sign back in with the other account to track the other phone.
    If one of them isn't showing and you're signed into the correct iCloud account, go to Settings>iCloud on the phone in question and turn Find My iPhone Off, then back On.

  • How can I open another iCloud account for each devices with the same apple id

    my family has 2 iPhones 1 iPad 1 Macbook and 1 iMac. I had all the devices set up with one iCloud under 1 Apple ID. Now things are getting so mixed up with pictures, videos, calendar, notes and reminders etc. 1 iPhone is also unable to sync due to not having enough storage for all our devices. Someone from Genius Bar said we can have iCloud for each device under 1 Apple ID. I backed up all pics. videos notes important docs to my iMac and MacBook then I turned off all iCloud in all of the devices now I need help to create a new iCloud account at least for my 3 mobile devices to end all the confusion. every time I try to click the button "set up iCloud on this device" I always go back to apple site with step by step by step instruction but I keep going around in a loop. Please help

    I'm not sure what they told your at the Apple store, but each Apple ID can only create a single iCloud account.  If you want separate accounts for all these devices, they will have to be created using separate IDs.  Note: you can do this and still share the same ID for other services such as your iTunes store account.  The iCloud ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for other services.
    To create an account, go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with a different Apple ID.  If you want to migrate a copy of the current iCloud data to the different accounts, 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, 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; the devices keeping the current account will not be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

  • How do i back up 2 different devices with the same ID but different content, without losing any content?

    I have 2 iPads but just one ID. I use the iPad 2 and my daughter uses the mini. Both have different contents, as her mini contains a lot of videos that she's taken. Niw, I just bought an iPad Air and want to essentially transfer my iPad 2 contents there and also transfer my daughter's mini contents to that iPad 2. If I back up both to the same computer, will I have access to both sets of content and transfer the data to whichever device as I see fit? I just want to make sure so I don't lose any of her content (especially).
    Thanks!

    Using iTunes on a computer, be sure to set the backup(s) to be stored locally and not the iCloud for efficiency's sake. If all devices belong to the same AppleID, each one will store its backup on a separate file, and if appropriate, you can choose any for a restore as needed. As shown in Diavonex pic, the backups are listed in Preferences / Devices. Hover the cursor over each and a popup will appear detailing which device it belongs to. And you can keep, if needed, more than one backup of a device: control-click on the backup to preserve and choose Archive from the menu (Older backups get overwritten otherwise).

  • I have 3 devices with the same Apple ID.  My email has changed and I need to change my ID.  How can I do this?

    I tried changing my Aplle ID on two devices before but I could not get the second device connected.  I ended up resetting my accounts restore it.  Any suggestions?

    When you connect that iPad to iTUnes, go to the summary page and scroll down, there should be a box saying 'automatically update' or something to that effect. De select that.
    With automatically update on, what you buy on one goes onto the other. but with that box off you can choose.
    On the iPad itself, it's under
    Settings
    iTUnes and App Stores
    and then you can choose what you want automatically updated between the two devices.

  • Can I change what I want synced across different devices on the same Apple ID?

    Good evening everyone,
    I purchased a 13" MacBook Pro with MAC OS X Lion, set up the iCloud function and everything worked well.  I have recently purchased a 17" MacBook Pro MAC OS X Lion also and want to be able to sync my Calendars with my iPhone.  I do however want to find out if it is possible to change the settings on my 13" Laptop so that nothing else but music is stored in my cloud since I use it solely for the purpose of DJing.  I want my 17" only for scheduling and keeping track of my interpreting business information.  Is this possible without screwing up my iCloud too much?
    Thanks,
    Juan

    Figured it out...thanks though ahead of time.

    Do a search on the iPad that you downloaded it onto.
    Swipe to the right from the home screen and Type "Google Earth" (no quotation marks) in the search field at the top. See if it appears.
    Restart the iPad and see if the app appears.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
