Multiple Devices on the same plan?

I always manage to leave my MiFi Mobile Hot Spot at home for use with equipment there and forget to bring it along when I leave home, travel etc. Is it possible to add another device such as a USB modem to the same account/plan so I always have access?

Keep your existing AppleID for the iTunes Store and AppStore on both devices, and then setup a new AppleID for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime just for your wife's iPad so those services remain independent.

HT1311 can you see which device bought something on iTunes where you have multiple devices on the same iTunes account?

is there any way to find out which device dowloaded apps when you have multiple devices using the same itunes account?

The purchase information does not include the device used, but does include the Apple ID used for the purchase.
Apps downloaded on one device with the same Apple ID can be downloaded on another device with that Apple ID.

I have multiple devices on the same account, can I increase my cloud allowance without paying extra?

Each device gives 5gig but multiple devices on the same account don't increase the cloud space. Do Apple recognise this and help?

Wow that's really harsh. Both my wife and daughter have disabilities and the idea of having one ID is to allow me to be able to track them quickly in times of emergency through 'find my iphone'. I did not realise this was 'creating a mess'. I thought support communities were intended to, you know, support people with genuine questions like mine not to rush to criticism. Unfortunately both answers to my question have been negative.
I am not being harsh, the truth is you are really creating problems for yourself e.g. calendars, contacts, etc. are all mixed up.
Support Communities are there to show you how to use the devices as intended, the "criticism" is about how you use the devices and not about you as a person. We are trying to help if you can listen.
You can use Find My Friends instead of Find My iPhone for your purpose.

I have multiple devices with the same cerificate, once I have a an exception for one, FF denys access to the others. I cannot change the certificates, I need to stop FF blocking them.

You can't use the same certificate more than once.

What is the best way to have multiple devices on the same account so we can still share the same library. Right now I have 7 and I believe it's causing them to malfunction.

I have multiple devices on the same itunes library and they all starting to have the same issues. Not recognizing numbers previously stored, not sending/receiving tests. Do I need to get everyone separate itunes accounts?

What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network?
One iTunes library per person. One iTunes account per person.
If people wish to share songs, they can make copies.
When the inevitable day comes when the kids get older, you will not have to come back here and post asking how all that stuff can get separated!

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.

Multiple devices with the same GUID

Hi,
According to the Zenworks Command line utilities reference https://www.novell.com/documentation...a/bb15p2z.html
There exists an option to register a device with a new GUID by doing the following...
register (reg) [-g] [-k <key>] [-u <username> -p <password] <ZENworks Server addressort>
Registers the device in a Management Zone.
You can use the following options:
g - Lets you create a new device object with a new GUID and password for the device if you have multiple devices with the same GUID. When you register a device by using this switch, all the associations (policies and bundles) assigned to the original device object are removed. You cannot use this option to create a new GUID for a Primary Server or a Satellite device. The local user must have Local Administrator rights to use this option.
I would like to know if it is possible to have such a command line option for the agent installation. So built into the agent installer, a command line option to force the agent to register with a new GUID.
We are having CONTINUOUS problems with the above scenario. When we move devices from one computer lab to another and re-image the device, Zenworks keps trying to assign the same GUID to the device and this mixes up our Dynamic Workstation groups, which then affect the applicable policies to each device.
I would like to know if there is an option to tell the installer to stop remembering the GUID and simply register the device with a new guid on agent installation.
This way we can build that into the post imaging scripts which install the zenworks agent.

Hi Craig,
OK, I've had a look at the ZCM Reconcile rules and run a few tests to see if it is possible to get the machines not to reconcile (use a new GUID after imaging).
As I have explained before, sometimes this result is desired in our case especially when we move machines around from lab to lab.
So far, no matter what configuration I use, I cannot get Zenworks to generate a new GUID for a device that is getting re-imaged (without doing so only after the fact by unregistering the machine and reregistering the machine via the zac und and zac reg -g).
We use dynamic workstation groups to assign policies and bundles to machines so reconciling the devices is not necessary most of the time. We need an option to tell the machine to register with a new GUID on installation of the agent. Surely such an option can be built into the agent installer?
The options in the ZCM config management "reconcile settings" I tested with are:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Unticked/Unselected
Enable Differentiation - Unticked/Unselected
I then also tested:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Ticked/Selected
Enable Differentation - Ticked/Selected
and also:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Ticked/Selected
Enable Differentation - Unticked/Unselected
With all three different configurations, I re-imaged the same machine, which renames the machine via the first post imaging installation script to match the DNS name. Thereafter the Zenworks agent gets installed, which then renames the machine back to what it was registered into the Zenworks database with on first installation.
We need a method of telling Zenworks NOT to reconcile when we want it to. It should not reconcile every time and thereby rename the machine netBIOS name.
Is there any way to achieve this?

The same thing could apply if bringing in new Hardware.
If a new computer were to replace an old computer but the name stayed the same, everything could be automatic depending on the rules setup.
It is all a matter of how you tell ZCM to reconcile devices.
The Help in the ZCC under these items should explain how it works so you can setup your rules to meet your use cases.

What is the best way to set up multiple devices in the same household?

Our family has a bunch of devices (phones,pads,pods) all set up under the same appleID. The idea was to be able to share iTunes content among devices. The problem is that there is personalized data merging between devices (address book, apps, etc). Is there a way to set up multiple devices under the same account while maintaining their own identity so that Each user can have their own apps, addresses, etc without having to sift through everyone else's stuff?

Continue to share your iTunes ID, but use different IDs for other services such as FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud. (When you share the same iCloud account across multiple devices, any synced data is merged and the merged list appears on all devices sharing the account.)
To change the ID For:
iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
iCloud, you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On [iDevice]. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want in each account (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

Can multiple devices share the same library?

I was under the impression they could not. I had originally had iTunes installed with my 5th generation iPod. Several months back my wife got an iPhone 4. We were under the impression we had to set up a library exclusive to her device, so we did. I had to open my library when I wanted to sync to my iPod, she had to open hers to sync to her iPhone. Now I just got an iPhone 4, when I plugged it into my PC, it created a new device within the library I had set up for my iPod. I don't plan on using my iPod anymore, but I get the impression I could use both devices with the same library. Could I do the same with the 2 iPhones?
Where I get confused is when it comes to sharing music, and the fact that we have 3 directories now (the original iTunes directory, and two iPhone directories). Currently despite having 2 libraries, all the music is stored in the original iTunes directory. When we download music in iTunes, it has been stored to the that same directory and simply added to whatever library has been open. Then we can simply add it to the other library as we please. But what happens when we download Apps and music directly to our phones...I presume when synched to the PC, they'd get stored in the directory specific to that device, and cannot be shared?
Bottom line is I'd like all music to be available to either iPhone, but would also like to ensure it is all stored in the same directory.

What is really strange to me is the Apple licensing. I spoke with one developer about this once and here is what he told me:
You can authorize up to 5 computers with your iTunes store ID. Any of those 5 computers can sync an app onto any of the devices that they manage syncing for, and it is perfectly legit with Apple. Due to the Apple developer agreements, he can not do anything to prevent that in his code.
My wife and I each have iPhone and iPod Touch devices. We each have our own iTunes store ID's (because we didn't know better at the time) so we authenticate both computers to both accounts and we can share our music & app purchases "freely" between our 4 devices. We each could authorize up to 3 more PC's with our accounts and allow more people to share our purchases (if we trust them not to purchase things using our accounts) but we don't feel that is the correct way to treat the app developers, so we don't do that. In fact, there at least one app we have liked so much, we both spent the $7.99 to purchase even though we didn't need to.

Multiple devices on the same iTunes account

I have an iTouch Gen 4 and will be getting an iPhone 5s. Is it possible to have both devices on the same account (same Apple ID) with music on one device and apps on the other? Possibly sharing a couple of same apps between the two devices.

Go into Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive on the devices that your would not like to get your text messages to.
Then remove the email addresses that you would not like to be reached on, especially the one that is the same as your Apple ID.
Just leave the phone number there, and then the text messages should only appear on your iPhone 4s.

Why do two devices on the same plan both ring when someone is trying to facetime me? My mother in law got my father on his iPad when i didnt answer fast enough!

My Mother-in- law tried to Facetime me last night so she could see my daughter. My phone rang for FT but I didn't get to it in time. I thought she hung up. Turns out my fathers ipad rang across town and he answered it. we are on the same plan and both use the same iTunes accnt.

Are you also using the same Apple ID for FaceTime, as listed under Settings > FaceTime?
If so, don't. While it's perfectly okay to share an Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, you shouldn't share an Apple ID with another person for the following:
iCloud
FaceTime
Messages
Use a unique personal Apple ID. Whoever is the actual owner of the current Apple ID needs to keep using that. The other person needs to make their own Apple ID, and use that for iCloud, FaceTime & Messages. Maybe even Game Center to be on the safe side.

Multiple devices streaming the same music on Family Plan

If I get the family plan for 2 devices, will we be able to listen to the same songs at the same time? I want to be able to stream music on multiple devices yet have the option to listen privately. Will the family plan offer this?

It will store multiplle devices.
