I have a iphone4 and a ipad2 and i use 2 laptops to sync them individually, but i used the same apple account. Now I have lost one laptop.

Hey everyone.
I have an iphone4 and an ipad2. I used to sync my phone with one computer and the ipad with another. but i used the same apple account.
Now the problem is that i lost the computer to which i was syncing the iphone. Is there a way that i can start to sync the iphone with the computer that i use for my ipad and not loose any data.
Please help!

No. Syncing with a different computer/library will wipe the content from the device and replace it with content from the new library.
All of the media should be in the iTunes library already, at least what was purchased from iTunes.

I have an iPod touch and an iPad on the same apple account. If I purchase the same album on both devices without syncing will I be charged twice?

Yes. You're supposed to move it to the second device from the computer and not redownload it from the iTunes Store.

Me and my mom share the same apple account but I get all the apps she downloads..how do i get rid of this?

Me and my mom use the same apple account for our iphones but everytime she downloads an app it gets downloaded to my phone how do i stop that?

Start iTunes on your PC. If your iPhone doesn't appear under devices, connect your iPhone to the PC using the USB cable. Click on the name of your iPhone under devices. Click on the Apps tab at the top of the screen. Scroll down a bit and uncheck the box next to "Automatically sync new apps". Click the Apply button at the bottom of the screen. If the sync process doesn't automatically start, manually initiate a sync.

My husband and I have the same apple account. How do I make two accounts?

My husband and I each have i-phone4gs and i-pad iOS 5.0.1
We initially set them up on the same apple account, but now would like to have two separate accounts and two separate i-cloud accounts. How do we make this happen. We don't want each other's i-cloud back-ups.

Same way you set up the original one - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731.

We have several iphones, ipod touches, ipad and mac's if we all install icloud under the same apple account will they all sync together...we don't want that to happen!!

If any of you are like me, I had one single AppleID under MobileMe. Under my AppleID I had two additional Email addresses, one for my wife and one for her Mother. Each used their individual email accounts on their login on the home Mac and on their individual Iphones.
In order for them to not lose their email acounts when mobileMe goes away and/or you move your appleID acount from MobileMe to iCloud, you simply need to beaware of the folowing. Have each person with an email address under your AppleID MobileMe go to www.me.com; enter their email account and password in the corresponding fields. However, don't press the login button. Instead press the sentence under the login fields that says something to the effect of "do you want to move/migrate to iCloud. Follow the prompts from there.
In essence what Apple has done--albeit not communicated anywhere--is that they automatically created AppleIDs for each of those additonal email addresses you have/had under MobileMe. Therefore, use that email and password after moving from MobileMe to iCloud and your good to go.

I have 2 Apple iPads with the same Apple account name. How do I set up one with a different Apple account name?

Why is the reason you want a different apple id on them? Need more details to make sure we don't accidently set up the self destruct feature and destory the planet.

I bought an iPad and want to make sure it's on the same apple account but my phone always come up with a different apple Id?

Remember - if you bought any apps with another ID you cannot update them with a different ID.
Try changing the ID in the App Store. Tap on Featured - swipe to the bottom of the screen - tap on the ID in the bottom left corner - and see if you can change it that way.
If that doesn't work, sign out of your account altogether, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
I guess I should ask - what ID is it coming up with and why is it coming up with that ID?

Or remove you from his, it's moot because You and He are the same account, either get him his own (they are free) or live with this cozy but privacy compromised method.

Can you transfer final cut pro x to another computer with the same apple account?

I want to get Final Cut Pro X right away so I can start editing videos for my youtube channel, but I'm am also planning to get a Macbook Pro for school this year. Is it possible for me to buy & use Final Cut Pro X on my current macbook now, and then later copy and/or transfer the application to my new computer? Both computers would be run by the same apple account. Thanks! Please reply.

Hello There,
I'm not sure of how many in total you can have, but you can have FCPX on both your computers you just can't use them at the same time.

How do you take off reseiving messages on multiple devices using the same apple account

How do you take off reseiving messages on multiple devices using the same apple account?

Go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive on all but one device and add a unique email address on each device and delete the commone Apple ID email device
If there is also an iPhone with iOS 6 associated with the Apple ID, uncheck the phone number on all but the phone.

How can I block someone in my family from seeing my email since it's in the Icloud but we share the same Apple account?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

You might want to rethink your thoughts about making transferring authority easier. Making it too easy would certainly degrade your account's security. If you still believe it should be easier, you can send feedback directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
You will not get a response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people will see your input for consideration in FaceTime product development.

My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
You'd need to add an account here:

I have iPad, my wife's iPone 4 and my new iPhone 4s all on iOS 5 and using the same Apple account. That is convenient in many ways except I can't use iMessage from my iPad and iPhone to my wife's iPhome. Any solution?

When iMessage is enabled on all 3 devices, they just seem to mirror all iMessage conversations on all of them. Can I configure iMessage for my wife's iPhone such that it becomes a separate entity with that respect while staying on the same Appte account with other our devices?

Actually, there is a solution, and it sounds to go against what you want until you realize how well it works.
Seperate Apple IDs is the solution, but you can granularly sign into different things with different IDs. Now, I'm in the exact same situation as you and saw the exact same problem. Here was our solution:
1) Create new Apple IDs for everyone that didn't already have one. This meant my wife and daughter needed new IDs.
2) Go into Settings -> Message and select "Receive At..."
3) Change the Apple ID in iMessage on a per-device basis to the new ID for who ever owns that device. For example, the new ID for my wife went on her phone, same with my daughter.
Apple IDs are free, and you don't have to change the ID on every part of your phone. For example, we still have the generic family ID on iCloud and the store, but we have our own unique ones signed in on iMessage and Game Center. From what I can tell, this is the best of both worlds.
