Multiple devices one itunes account

Hi,
I have an itunes account for my iphone and ipad, now my kids have just got ipod touches for Christmas which i have added as new devices to my itunes account. When my daughter sends an imessage it appears on all the devices linked to my account, including granny's new iphone! How can I stop this, do I have to have separate email accounts for them, as they also want to facetime, help please!

I have ipod touch, When you register the ipod Touch give it a unique name. I have also connected all three at same time unless there is an issue I have missed I have had no problem. YOu can also set an option so that when you connect the device itunes will not start and then you can manually start it and choose the device you want to upgrade..etc.

  • Multiple devices one itunes account - need help!

    We have one computer, 2 iphones & one ipad, all on the same itunes account and now I can't update my iphone because all of my husbands crap is on my phone and there's not enough storage even after purchasing more storage.
    how can I set up my iphone on just MY account?  I don't want all of his apps & stuff on my phone, and now I can't update my phone, buy apps I want, ect...storage is FULL, but only on my phone.  His is fine....of course.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Multiple devices on iTunes account how do I use the iCloud without us getting each others texts

    I have 2 iPhones one is mine one is my boyfriends when I downloaded the software he was receiving my texts on his phone even though I chose to only connect his phone through my computer both phones and my iPad are on the Samuel iTunes account I deleted the account from the iCloud to stop it but how do I keep the cloud and stop it from getting our texts on both phones?????

    You can keep everyone on your iTunes account all you have to do is have everyone create there own iCloud account. Me, my wife, and my son all have our own iCloud for our own use. I have my 3 devices linked to mine, my son has 2 linked to his and my wife has 2 also. For some reason by default the iDevice will ask you to use your iTunes account but you don't have to. You can create it right from the device itself if you want a @me account which is the way to go IMO. you can also go to iCloud.com and create it there too. We have a total of 8 devices linked to one iTunes account for purchases and everything works like a champ. Hope this helps.

  • Two devices, one itunes account, push notifications not working

    We just got an iPhone and use an iPod touch. Figured it was easier to just use one iTunes account, since we had plenty of apps already purchased on the Touch.
    Loaded the apps on the iPhone, and now apps like CNN, ESPN, Outside, etc won't get push notifications. Facebook, Words with Friends, and any other app my wife is logged into gets them, but apps not requiring a log in and has push isn't working. I'll get the push notifications on my Touch, but nothing will come across the iPhone.
    Any ideas?
    thanks.

    Me too I am having this same issue. I just thought I was the only one with this problem.

  • Multiple Devices on itunes Account

    Is there a limit to the number of devices that you can attach to an itunes account?

    Hello Sue,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. The number of devices one Apple ID can handle is up to 10. The following article goes into detail about that process.

  • Multiple devices, one iTunes, how to transer and sync properly

    I have a complicated question.
    I recently purchase a new iphone and ipad.  I now have 3 devices, personal iphone, work iphone and an ipad 2 (which has not been synched yet).
    My personal iphone is connected to my personal computer, a PC.  My PC has my entire music collection connected to but is stored on an external hard drive. 
    My work iphone is connected to another computer, a mac book pro. This has no music, some media files and all the applications for my work iphone plus some photos and videos I use for work.
    As I stated, I have not hooked the ipad 2 up yet.
    I want to transfer the itunes library from my PC to my mac but keep it on the external hard drive for portability and safety as I travel with the mac and would prefer to keep the library, photos and other content sperate.
    I want to know the best way to transfer the library, have the mac point to the hard drive and then sync all 3 devices but not load all the content on each devices.  The personal iphone should only have music and personal photos while the work iphone should remain the same as it is today with only work phots and no mucsic.  The ipad can contain everything.
    Is there a way to have each device synch seperately but all link to the same itunes on the mac via an external hard drive.
    Thank you.

    I can not even see the device after I decline the option to erase and sync with the other devise.  Sorry, I am a bit techno challenged.  Can you help with a blow by blow?
    much appreciation.

  • Multiple computers, one iTunes account... how to consolidate?

    I have three computers: Power Mac G5, iBook G4, Mac Mini.
    I access and buy songs from iTunes from all three computers.
    I update my iPod only from the G5.
    So, is there a way to copy the songs I purchased from the iBook and Mac Mini onto my main computer (G5), so that I can sync to my iPod?

  • My husband and I share the same e-mail address, and computer. We both have iPhones now and want to have our own individual Apple ids, but have one iTunes account is it possible?

    My husband and I share a computer, have the same e-mail address, and have one iTunes account. Can we have different Apple ids on our individual iPhones or do we have to use the same one?

    For purchasing from the iTunes and App stores, you will probably want to share the same Apple ID.  But for other services such as iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud, you should use separate IDs.  For example, if you use the same ID for iMessage you'll start getting each other's text messages.  If you use the same ID for FaceTime you may get each other's FaceTime calls.  If you set up the same iCloud account with the same ID, and data you sync with the account will be merged and the merged data will appear on all devices (i.e., you'll end up with each other's contacts and calendar events).  You would also be sharing the same 5GB of free iCloud storage rather than each having your own 5GB of space.

  • One itunes account multiple devices in family - help

    I have one itunes account but multiple devices used by the family and I am having conflicts with sharing and face time, imessage etc.
    Listed devices
    Me - iphone 5, Ipad mini, Apple Tv, Macbook Pro 13" (just purchased)
    Wife - iphone 5, ipad
    Daughter - iphone 4, ipad mini
    Son - iphone 4
    Son - ipad
    At the moment we all use one itunes account (mine) we all have our own email adresses etc.
    I have itunes U which can be accessed.
    The problem is everyone wants to use face time and imessage etc but I keep having conflicts with the devices sharing eachothers messages etc. Plus not eveyone wants to share photos etc so how do you manage that across mulitple devices.
    Is it a set up issue or is it easier for everyone to have their own accounts.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
    You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages.

  • Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices

    Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices?

    The iTunes EULA, as I understand it (I'm not an attorney )for Apps is basically that one person can use an App multiple devices, or multiple people can use an App one device..so one to many or many to one, but not many to many....

  • HT5616 I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account.  I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account.  How do I do this?

    I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account.  I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account.  Any help on how I can I do this?

    You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

  • How to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with one iTunes account

    We recently received iPad 2's for Christmas and was looking for some advice on how to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with One iTunes Account (Apple Id).  I have created or attached other e-mail addresses to our apple id but do not know how to use them on the new devices.  Our home MacBook Pro uses our main apple id for FaceTime.  The iPads have been setup with the main apple id w/o being able to use FaceTime and iMessage.
    Please Help...
    I appreciate the help and support.

    P and V-
    If you are trying to connect to someone with a different Apple ID, I think all the devices should work, but one at a time.
    The problem is when you try to connect between two with the same Apple ID.  Once the calling device tries to make the connection, it finds the second device to be "busy".  That is where each needs to use a different E-Mail address when setting it up.
    On iOS devices, when you press the Home button to exit an App, the App may still be active in the background, even when the device is sleeping.  If FaceTime or iMessage is merely being active that way, it may be enough to "tie up" the E-Mail address.
    From the Home screen, double click your Home button.  You will see a list of recent Apps along the bottom of the screen.  Press and hold on one of them until they start to wiggle.  You will then see a red minus sign on each.  Pressing the minus sign will remove an App from the list, and stop it from working in the background.  (Click the Home button to stop the wiggling, and again to hide the recent Apps.)
