Me and my brother had the same Apple ID I changed mine and he lost his music how do I fix that

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you want to use different ID's for iTunes, only one of you can use the ID that has the purchased music. The other will have to start their own collection.

  • When my husband and I got these iPhones . We had the same Apple ID .(not good) that has changed . We have a iCloud acct. how or what do I need to do to change on my setting under iCloud it has his Apple ID  and also on r PC it has only his info none of mi

    To change the iCloud account on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone.  When you delete the account you will be given the option to either keep or delete the iCloud data from your phone.  This also, only deletes the account and the iCloud data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Your husband's phone won't be effected by this.  Then, to create a separate account, sign back in with a different Apple ID (you can continue to share the same ID for iTunes).
    If you have any photo stream photos that you want to keep on the phone, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account. 
    If you're sharing the same ID for iMessage and FaceTime you'll end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.  To prevent this, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your new iCloud ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • Because me and my parents have the same apple id, my new phone synced all of their songs on to my iPhone. I tried to delete them or transfer them off my phone to iTunes but it wouldn't work. What do I do?

  • I can not access all music purchased using a different email address but have always had the same apple ID?

    I have had an apple ID for at least 8 years I now have a diffeent deslyop computer and email address from when I opened the account when my email changed I updated my email and continued to download music books apps etc after a recent update I can no longer access the misic I purchased using teh original email address...it asks for my apple ID and shows original email address and I can not remember the password I had then and it does not recognize my birthdate etc...any thoughts?

    Well I am having the same issue and I had not had to worry about getting a "licensed charger."  The poster who responded offered not real insite and was rude to boot.  I am also looking for the fix on this .  My iphone will not even charge now on any charger.  What the heck.  I am not trying to treaten anyone either when I say I am frustrated with my iphone which in my case I have only had for a few months.  I have already sent one in to be replaced and this is my second one.  I have had troubles since the update GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR .

  • Can I use the same adapter for my ipad mini w/ retina display as I use for my iphone 4S?

    I have an iPad mini with retina display and an iPhone 4S.  Have both the small and large adapters (5W and 12W I believe) that came with the two products.  I am traveling abroad and want to know if I can just use the smaller adapter (little cube-shaped one, 5W) for both the ipad and the iphone.  OR, can I forgo taking the Apple adapters that were supplied, and instead use one of the travel adapters that has two 2.1-Amp USB ports?

    You can use the 5W to charge the iPhone, but if it charges the iPad Mini Retina, it will be slow, so you would have to turn it off and let it sit forever to get charged.  If you were going to take just one, take the 12 W on as you can use it to charge both devices without issue.
    I would recommend getting the Apple travel adapters if you are going abroad.  The 12W adapter should have a duck head you can pop off and put the international adaptation on there. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B/apple-world-travel-adapter-kit

  • If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

    If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

    Yes. You can have multiple iPhones on the same ID, up to the maximum 5 total devices. FaceTime will use the sim number for calls and you can configure each phone separately, or configure one and then back it up to iTunes and them restore the image to the others.

  • Can you have an ipad and the computer on the same apple id for facetime?

    I want to have the same email for facetime on both  devices... will this work.

    Welcome to Apple Communities.
    You can use the same Apple ID on an iPad and a computer but you cannot have both devices on the network at the same time.
    I have a MacBook pro and an iPad and had the same Apple ID for both.  When a Facetime call would come in, the iPad would conflict with the MacBook and the call would fail.  Likewise, if I tried to place a call, Facetime would fail.  If I shut off one of the devices, Facetime worked fine.
    What I did to resolve the problem is create two email addresses for my account (one gmail and one yahoo).  I asigned the primary one to my iPad and the other to the computer.  Since most of my Facetime calls are on the iPad, people usually can reach me on my primary address.
    Hope this helps.

  • We have 2 iphone 4. Not upgraded to OSI5. We share the same Apple id to buy, etc. How can we set up the same Apple id but a diiferent icloud id and still see both iphones on find my iphone?

    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.

  • 2 Game Center Accounts on 2 iPads - with the same Apple ID. How to do that?

    I really hope someone can help my daughter and I here...
    The story: My daughter and I had an iPad each - naturally, since she is a minor, both iPads had the same Apple ID & password. In Game Center, we had separate Accounts (so we wouldn't mess up each others zoos and such), but with the same Apple ID. No problems so far.
    Now, some lowlife burglar stole both our iPads... So I have bought new ones, one for me, and one for my daughter. She is thrilled to have her iPad back, and the games she have missed.
    But oh no... Whenever she opens a game, the iPad launches "my version" of the game, with my Game Center nickname. I try to log her in with her nickname on her new iPad, but it is impossible - using the same Apple ID and password, it only shows my Game Center account. If I try to manage my account, or create a new with the exact same nickname she used on her old iPad, Game Center refuses to log on, because the "name is already taken" - Well I know it is taken, it is my daughters, but how to get it? It is like I know both the Apple ID, the password and both GCA names - but I have nowhere to type in "Game Center Account name" followed by the password...
    I need help. I tell my daughter that there must be a solution, and her progress in her games are not lost; I can see them through MY Game Center account, so they are not deleted - but how to enter her part of the account is beyond my knowledge, so please, any ideas are welcome. You have the chance to make a little girl VERY happy :)

    On the ipad that you wish to change the ID:
    You can Erase all content and settings - that returns it to the "out of box" condition.
    OR
    Settings - iCloud - Delete account (It will ask if you want to keep contacts, calendars etc).
    Settings - Messages - Tap AppleID - Sign out
    Settings - Facetime - Tap AppleID - Sign out
    Settings - iTunes and App store, tap apple ID, sign out.

  • If I share the same apple id with my husband with the new icloud will he see all my information?

    I share the same apple and icloud id as my husband. We have always had the same apple id however now that the icloud backs up everything how can we seperate the 2. I also don't want all my informaiton updating on our first ipad since everything is under the same username

  • Can I use the same Apple ID for two iPhone's?

    Can I use the same Apple ID on both mine and my partners iPhones? and will there be any troubles or problems that may occur?
    Thank you

    Yes, but there will be quirks. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
    What isn't obvious is that you can use different Apple IDs for different functions on your iPhone; for example iCloud, iTunes & App Stores, Game Center, iMessage and FaceTime can all have different Apple IDs from each other.
    If you use the same Apple ID for Find my iPhone then both phone's locations will show up at https://icloud.com/find. Which can be good or bad, depending on your situation.
    If you use the same Apple ID for iTunes & App Stores you can have the same apps and music on both phones; some or all of them.
    You probably want different Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime; otherwise, you will get each other's messages
    Also different for Game Center.

  • HT201272 I have always had and used the same Apple ID, so where are the rest of the songs I bought from itunes? I've bought at least 400 songs and I only am being able to download 178. Where are the rest of my purchases?!

    I have always had and used the same Apple ID. I have changed credit card information on my Apple ID account several times though. Does that make a difference when downloading past purchases? I'm very angry at Apple and Itunes because I have been using itunes since 05/2005 and I do not have even close to the amount of songs and albums that I have purchased from itunes. If the credit card info does make a difference even though the account is the same one then itunes needs to make sure to notify users of this because I am not the only one who is wondering this same thing. I have numerous friends who i've talked to about this and they say the same thing, that they too have songs purchased in the past that have disappeared when trying to download past purchased items. It should not make a difference. $12 is $12. Especially since I have ALWAYS used the same account. If itunes does not change their ways, I will not be purchasing songs or anything else for that matter from them ever again. I will go back to buying CDs where I KNOW that it will always be with me and I don't have to deal with this. I will also make sure to find a better more reliable source to download music from and will make sure everyone I know and come in contact with knows what it is and how much better it is than itunes. There should be no experation date on the music I PURCHASE, nor should there be any other little loop holes that allow itunes to rob us of rightfully purchased products. What's the deal itunes??

    So I basically won't run into any trouble? I
    There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that.  You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

    Thanks for the response.
    Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
    Unlikely. But nothing is impossible.   Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

    If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
    If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
    Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
    SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
    Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.
    mannyace wrote:
    Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
    If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

  • We had one family apple id. I want to keep all devices on the same apple id for itunes but separate ones for everything else.  How do I change the others now.  We have 3 iphones and an ipad.

    We had one family apple id.  I want to keep all devices on the same apple id for itunes but separate for everything else on the cloud. How can I change the other apple ids now? We have 3 iphones and an ipad.

    Hi, thank you for this post.  I hope you might be able to help me too? 
    I am relatively new to apple (have an iPad) and having been a PC user for years I was pleasantly surprised with the apple experience and am now trying to work out the best set up for me, my husband and young son as I am buying them both of them apple products this Christmas.  New Mac laptop/ ipad for hubby and then an ipod touch for my son oh and a new mac laptop for me. We are also thinking of moving from Blackberries to iPhones. Yes we seem to be hooked! but i am unsure about the home family set up and how to replace my PC network that I run off an 8TB server.
    In reading the forums I keep seeing people talk about problems they have with two apple IDs and trying to merge them. I have also heard about a family ID allowing us to share apps legally.  I am really nervous of setting us up wrong and then having problems later and hence i am now looking for some advice on how to share as much as we can legally but also make usage practical and not invading each others privacy. thoughts so far:
    Music - I think we are happy to share the same music and access using one ID (we currently don't buy much music from apple but have lots of CDs we share).
    Photos - It would be nice to share photos - as long as my son or husband cannot accidentally delete photos of mine (which is my biggest concern). I currently load all camera photos onto my 8TB storage box as the network owner and my husband has full access to copy any photo to his laptop but can never delete the original copies by accident.
    Apps - If possible i would like us to share these but they are cheap enough these days to separate if really needed. Would be good to share licence for pages etc though
    cloud, contacts, facetime, email -  this is what is making me consider separate IDs or learning how to have multiple users in one apple ID - I do not want to have to share synced contacts with my husband. I have near 300 contacts now through work etc and he will not want them plus i will not want his or him being able to delete mine by mistake. and then for email and facetime, well I want to give him his privacy so I do not receive his messages etc. especially now that we are considering switching to iPhones
    Then last but not least, i don't know the best solution for my son. he is only 7 years old so even though I don't want to pay for things again I don't want him being able to download "just any" app from the purchased icon in Appstore. Also, is there a child friendly setting to prevent him from viewing inappropriate content on the internet?
    Appreciate I have asked a lot of questions here but I am looking for any genuine advice out there. Thank you or other potential advisers in advance.

  • HT2589 I have an Apple ID which I had registered years back. I wanted to use the same Apple ID to download apps - but whenever I try to login with that Apple ID, it tells me "  "This ID hasn't been used with Itunes", and proceeds to let me "Review" it.

    I have an Apple ID which I had registered years back.I wanted to use the same Apple ID to download apps on my ipod touch - but whenever I try to login with that Apple ID, it tells me "This ID hasn't been used with Itunes", and proceeds to let me "Review" it. In the last step, I'm asked to furnish credit card information, which I don't want to, since all I want to do is to be able to download free apps !!

    Could the credit card be expired?
    Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
    In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support.
