Multiple iphones same apple id, how to seperate them

i have multiple accounts on one apple id, how do I create another and seperate them

if it's a family situtation where you want to all share app and music purchases, you can stay signed into the same apple id in the app store (lots of people do), but you need to sign out of the apple id in imessage and facetime so messages don't get crossed over
you can either create a new apple id at appleid.apple.com, or you can do it on the phone after you've signed out of an apple id. when you tap 'sign in' anywhere that requires an apple id, it should give you the option to create a new apple id

2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

I have ipad & Mac,same apple ID, How communication use FaceTime between my iPad (out my home) & Mac( in my home)?

I have ipad & Mac,same apple ID, How I communication use FaceTime by my iPad when I'm out my home to my wife ( in home)?

I use my iPhone as a "baby monitor" to keep an eye on an elderly relative while she sleeps in one room and I'm working in another on my Mac. Setting up your two devices to FaceTime each other is simple:
Enable additional email addresses where you can be "reached" on FaceTime. Then enable the first on your Mac (disabling the second on your Mac) and the second on your iPad (disabling the first on your iPad).
On your Mac, go to FaceTime's Prefernces and look for "You can be reached by FaceTime at:" and at the bottom you'll see "Add Another Email..." Do so, then check only one email address for use on your Mac.
The process is similar on your iPad. Just be sure to check a different email address for use on your iPad.

We have 3 devices used by 3 different people under the same Apple ID, how do I stop getting my daughters texts, both sent and received?

When you use the same Apple ID on 3 devices it means you are all using the same (email, imessaging, calendar etc). Since iCloud (MobileMe) is designed to be shared across all devices included Macs, it means all devices setup with the same ID will have access to the information.
Text messaging is relevant only to the number you are texting. This is done through your telecom companys lines and not on Apples.
If you do not want to have others be able to read any of your information then it is best you each have your own account.

I have recently bought a second I phone4 and have the same apple ID on both of them, strangely I noticed the messages sent from one phone appearing the other one along with any pictures I sent from one of my Iphones. Is it possible to see the same msgs.

You need to setup different Receive At addresses for iMessage.
If you don't want the same pics on each, turn off PhotoStream.

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.

HT2204 I have 3 iphones and all use the same apple ID,how do I change this so each phone has its own id,do i restore the phones to factory settings first??as im having problems with contacts being added to and deleted from each phone.

I have 3 Iphone 4S and all have the same apple ID which is causing problems as far as contacts are concerned,when i sync 1 of the phones to my comp the contacts appear on all the phones.How do i create a new ID for each of the phones do I have to reset the phones to factory settings first,any help would be appreciated.:)

Hello marie196,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You do not necessarily need to restore the device to factory settings, but rather sign out of the four services that utilize your Apple ID: iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and iTunes & App Stores. Once signed out, you can sign in with a new Apple ID. For more information, see the following article:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services

Additional Information: You may encounter an error regarding a 90-day limit. For information on this, see the following article:

Thanks,

HT204053 If I've signed up multiple devices on the same apple ID how can i change them into different individual ID's?

Hello, I have multiple devices that i've used the same apple ID for. I was curious to know if I can change each of them into something different?

You can migrate a device to a new account with a new ID. To migrate to a new account, 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), 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 purchase multiple iphones from Apple store

I wish to purchase, online, 4 iPhones for myself and family next week. I do not currently have service with ATT. On Apple's site, I am able to select the appropriate family ATT plan, and I can give them ONE existing phone number which I want to transfer from my existing Verizon account, to ATT. There is no way however, to input the telephone numbers of the other 3 phones which I wish to transfer. I was told, by Apple, to individually add the 3 other phones, to my new account, to complete the transaction, online. When I do this, it acknowledges that I wish to add 3 lines, but there is no way to indicate that these phones are being transferred, from Verizon, nor do they ask for the phone numbers. I do not want to get to the store on 12/26 to find out that the paperwork has not been completed. I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who has transferred multiple lines to ATT, from Apple's site, and gone to the store to pick up multiple iPhones at one time. Am I doing this correctly?

The actual activation for an iPhone 3G is done at the store when the iPhone is purchased - at an Apple store, at an AT&T store, at a Best Buy store, and soon to be at a Walmart store.
You can get credit approval in advance from AT&T that is good for 30 days I believe. A credit approval number is provided by AT&T to provide the store at the time of purchase. When I switched to AT&T from Verizon before the original iPhone was released, I did everything online and the entire process took minutes. Even if you don't get credit approval from AT&T in advance, as long as you have good credit standing, you shouldn't have any problems with the paperwork at an Apple store as part of the activation process.

HT204053 Hi, my husband has downloaded ios7 and now he is receiving my iMessages/facetime calls. Obviously we both use the same apple Id. How do i keep using the same apple id on both devices, but disable my iMessages etc from his phone??

My husband has upgraded ios7. His iphone and mine have the same apple id. he has activated "icloud" which i have never activated before. He is receiving my imessages and facetime calls. How do i disable this yet still continue using our shared apple id on both devices????
thanks

Short term solution, do this on both devices
Settings > iCloud > Shut off anything you don't want shared
Long term solution (actual solution)
You need seperate Apple IDs for iCloud. iTunes and iCloud are not the same.
Create a new Apple ID > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
On one of the devices go Settings > iCloud > Delete Account > Sign in with the new Apple ID
This will seperate your Contacts, Calendars, Messages etc.
You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes and share apps and music

HT204053 Me and my daughter are sharing the same Apple ID, how do I get a separate id for face time and not be part of her group chats

How do I have a separate address but still use the same Apple ID, so I don't have to share FaceTime or be part of her group chats

Just delete her or your account from a device (iOS: iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch) in 1. "Settings > iCloud" (for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Backup, etc.) + 2. in "Settings > Messages > Send & Receive" (for sms/iMessage) + 3. in "Settings > FaceTime" (for FaceTime). Then set up a new separate Apple ID/iCloud ID in "Settings > iCloud" and then sign in and use your new account for all three services.
BTW you could still use and share one ID for iTunes and App Store purchases in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" so that you won't have to purchase any content more than once.

Have 2 iPads on same apple acct. how wipe just one without affecting other?

I have 2 iPads on same apple account. How do I wipe one to give to my wife without affecting the other one. (I once deleted some bookmarks and they were deleted on both iPads.)

Hi joanfromgalax,
The resource below explains what to do before you give your iPad to your wife. Follow the steps in the order given. If you sign out of the iCloud account as instructed in step 2, then the data will not be deleted.
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201351
Before you sell or give away your iOS device, make sure that you've removed all of your personal information. Follow these steps to protect your data and get your device to its factory default state for the new owner:
Back up your device.
Sign out of iCloud:
Tap Settings > iCloud, scroll down, and tap Sign Out. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account.
Tap Sign Out again, tap Delete from My iPhone, then enter your password.
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
This will completely erase your device, including any credit or debit cards you added for Apple Pay and any photos, contacts, music, or apps. It will also turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
If you're using iOS 7 or later and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.
Your content won't be deleted from iCloud when you erase your device.
Contact your carrier for guidance on transferring service to the new owner. If you aren't using a SIM-card with your device, you can contact them to get help transferring service to the new owner.
When the new owner turns on the device for the first time, Setup Assistant will guide them through the setup process.
Important: Don't manually delete contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photo streams, or any other iCloud data while signed in to your iCloud account, or the content will also be deleted from the iCloud servers and all of your devices that are signed in to iCloud.
Cheers,
- Judy

Two iPhones, same Apple ID

My husband and I just purchased two iPhone 5. We are using the same Apple ID, but contacts and apps are popping up on one device when it was originally downloaded on the other. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

You have to either stop syncing your contacts with iCloud or migrate one of the two phones to a separate iCloud account with a different ID. (You can continue to share the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.)
To migrate to a new account, first decide which phone will be moving. On this phone, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. 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, 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 from each account (such as deleting your husband's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

HT4436 my husband and i have the same apple id how do i change this i thought i done this all ready

my husband have the same apple i cloud how do i change this

Create a new Apple ID for him: Create an Apple ID
Sign out of the old Apple ID and in with the new Apple ID on his devices in these places:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
Settings > FaceTime
Settings > iCloud > Delete account > Sign back in with new ID
Settings > Game Center
You can keep using the same Apple ID for purchases.
If you want to have separate purchases:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores
