My husband and I share an Apple ID. Will all my apps as well as his appear on his new iPad when he activates his new iPad?

Updating new iPad.

Yes, once he syncs it on the computer. This is not a good idea, however.
Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library. Note that once done you cannot "share" apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must purchase your own apps under your own Apple ID. When you decide to split up like this one of you will need to re-purchase the apps that they want to use.
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • HT204053 Can my husband and I share an apple ID if we have 2 separate iPhones? What would be the cons to this?

    We have an iMac, an iPad that my husband and I share but 2 separate iPhones. Can we share our apple id so we share the same cloud?

    You can, but for most people, the best solution is to share an ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores, but keep separate IDs for iCloud, iMessage and Facetime. 
    If you share the same ID for iCloud, you will be sharing the same iCloud account.  When you do this, any data you sync with the account is merged and appears on both phones.  You will, for example, end up with each other's contacts on your phone.  You will also be sharing the same 5GB of free storage space that comes with each account vs. each having your own 5GB of storage.  You can still share your iCloud calendars if you want (http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479), and while you won't be sharing the same photo stream, you can still share photos with each other using shared photo streams (http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).
    If you use the same ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime, you'll end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

  • HT1414 getting an ipod touch 5 and selling my ipod touch 4, will all my apps and notes be put into my new ipod that i'm getting?

    Like will all my app information (like my secret diary) and especially all my notes that include lyrics and stuff be put onto my ipod touch 5?

    So, before you get rid of your old device go to attach your device to itunes and go file-devices-backup.  Additionally you can go to settings-icloud-storage and backup and select back up now. When you have your new device you can "restore from backup".  If you're using itunes to set up your new device it will prompt you to restore it from your most recent backup.  iOS: How to back up

  • My husband and I share an apple id. How do we seperate them withou losing anything to use the Family Sharing?

    Using iPhone 4S, iOS 8
    When we first got our iphones we set up to share our iTunes account so we only had to buy an app once.  Now with Family Sharing we want to separate into our own apple IDs.  We plan to get new iPhone 6 s soon and want to back up what we can to the iCloud to make it easier.  What is the best way to do this without losing any info?  I want to keep my apple ID and create a new one for my husband.

    Hi Christy,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Family Sharing will make it easy for you to setup a new Apple ID for your husband, while allowing purchases to be shared between accounts. Take a look at the article below for information about the Family Sharing features and how to set it up.

  • HT204053 My husband and I share an apple ID.  How can I get a new ID for my husband's phone

    How can I get a separate Apple ID for my husband phone.  He has a iphone4

    When multiple devices sync with the same iCloud account any data you sync with the account such as contacts is merged, and the merged data will appear on all devices connected to the account.  To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).  One of the phones can keep the current account; on the one that will be moving go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The other phone will not be effected by this.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.  At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
    You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting his contacts from your account, and vice versa).  These changes will be reflected on each phone.  When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.
    Be sure to also use different Apple IDs for iMessage or you will start getting each other's text messages as well.  If you are using the same ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both of your phones.  This will prevent this from happening.

  • HT1918 I have changed my internet provider and so changed my apple ID and password to reflect this.  However all the apps I purchased before refuse to accept this new password for updates but nor will it now accept the old one.  Help

    I have changed my internet provider and so changed my apple ID and password to reflect this change.  Now all the apps I purchased and downloaded on my old ID will not update as it won't accept my new apple id or the old one.   Help!

    All the apps are "connected" with the AppleID which was used to purchase them and there is no way to update them with a new or different id.

  • My Husband and I share my Apple ID.  I want to be separate.  How do I do this?

    I had an Apple ID for my iPad.  Then my husband got an iPhone.  We were advised to use one Apple ID.  Now, we wish we had our own separate ID's.
    How do we go about this?
    I have the iPad 4 and he has iPhone 5.

    See this doc for "all " about id
    http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
    You will lose access to any purchases made on App store, iTunes etc as they will be linked to the old iD

    You need to use your own ID.  App downloaded with an ID are forever linked to that ID.  You would need to delete those apps and if you want them download again with your ID

  • My husband and I share an email address. He now wishes to have an itunes ie Apple account, but it won't let him as there is already an account with that email address- yes, of course, it's ME. How can we resolve this?

    My husband and I share an email address. he now has a new phone which requires a link with itunes; he'd also like an itunes account. However, when he tries to set up an account, he repeatedly gets told the user name  - ie our email address, is already taken. And then his attempt fails. SO surely two people with the same email address can have seperate apple accounts?

  • 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.

  • Can my husband and I share purchases on itunes, even if we have different apple ID's? Can we sync each other's devices to our itunes account?

    Can my husband and I share purchases on itunes, even if we have different Apple ID's? Can we sync each other's devices to our itunes accounts? Before we had it so that, he had the itunes account and synced my iphone to it as a named device, but the problem was, when I used to send imessages, it looked like it was from my husband and not me!

    You can set up Messages and Facetime separate from your husband and still use the same iTunes to sync things like music, movies, Apps, etc.
    To do this though, you need to get your own Apple ID. You then use your Apple ID to set up Messages and Facetime under your account. This way your Messages and Facetime calls will come from your account and your husbands from his.
    And you will still be able to sync the devises on the same iTunes account.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Deleting an account from a device will not delete the information from the account, if that is what you are asking.
