My husband and I share an e-mail account.  Can we use the same e-mail account for two different iphone account i.d.'s?

My husband and I do not have separate e-mail addresses.  Before he purchased an IPhone this was not a problem.  Does we need two separate e-mail addresses to create two separate Apple ID's and register, maintain two separate IPhones?

And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases.  If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

  • HT204053 My husband and I have separate apple IDs, how do we use the same iTunes account

    My husband and I have separate apple IDs , how do we use the same iTunes account

    You don't. Each ID is associated with a separate account. Each of you should maintain a separate user account on your computer so as to maintain separate iTunes Libraries. Do not sync your phone with your husbands account or Apple ID and vice-versa or your data will become inter-mixed or worse - deleted from the phone.
    Try to understand that iDevices are intended for use by one person with one Apple ID, one iTunes Library, and one iTunes account. They are not multi-user devices.

  • I have an iphone 4 and thinking about getting an ipad2.  Can i use the same apple id for both devices?

    I have an iphone 4 and I am thinking about getting an ipad2.  Can I use the same apple id and itunes account with both of them?  Will my contacts and apps transfer over to the iPad2?

    Yes. I use the same Apple ID on four different iDevices. You can sync the contacts with iCloud or with your computer and have them on both devices. You can sync all of the apps as well. If the apps are not in iTunes on your computer - you can download them to the iPad with the same Apple ID. You can also restore the iPad from a backup of the phone to transfer your settings, app data and your contacts.
    iPhone only apps will be half size on the iPad screen but will still work as long - you can enlarge the size of the apps - but they will be pixelated on the screen.

  • Can you use the same external hard drive for Time Machine backups and as an additional storage drive?

    I have an external HD that I've been using exclusively for Time Machine backups. I need to clear space on my hard drive, so I was thinking to move music & photos to an external drive.  Wondering if I can use the same one I have (which I'll aslo keep using for Time Machine) or if I need to get another drive. 

    Hi Jossydtaylor,
    Time Machine can use either an entire external disk or a partition of that disk:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Disks you can use with Time Machine
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11171
    You can use Time Machine with a Time Capsule, and with USB, FireWire, and Thunderbolt disks. The backup disk can be directly connected to your computer or be on a network. If the backup disk has been divided into partitions, you can use one of the partitions.
    If the disk is partitioned using the Master Boot Record (MBR) partition type, some partitions may not be available for use with Time Machine. The GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition type is recommended.
    For more info on partitioning, see this article:

    Cheers!

  • Can I use the same app store AppleID on two iMac computers one in Australia and one in Thailand, for purchasing upgrades

    I have two iMAC computers, one at home in Sydney Australia and one in Korat Thailand.
    I want to software updates through my Sydney AppleID.
    When an attempt was made to update OSX the server rejected the attempt in Thailand

    Sure - as long as you use the same apple ID on both devices you can download it to both devices. Why is is greyed out on her iPad is not clear to me - other than the app is actually on her iPad via Automatic Downloads and she doesn't realize that its on the device. Is that possible?
    Search for the app on her iPad- swipe to the right from the first home screen and type in the name of the App at the top in the search field. Does it show up?

  • Can I use the same external hard drive for time machine and storing other files

    I have a 640GB external hard drive that I have been using for over a year for time machine backups.  My mac hard drive is now starting to fill up and I am looking to move audio, video and picture files to my external hard drive.  How do I do this without messing up my time machine backups?  Can I do both on the same external hard drive?  Do I just make new folders on the external hard drive to move the files I want?  Thanks for the help.

    If you move the files you will need to get another disk to back the files up to. You don't want to have only one copy of certain files (personal, professional etc.).

  • Can I use the same nike+ sensor with two differet Ipods and register the trainings in onmly one account?

    Hello, I would like to know if I can use the same nike  Ipod sensor with two different ipods. I want to use the same sensor sometims with an Ipod touch and sometimes with an Ipod Nano, I want my trainings with both Ipods to be registered to the same account. I want them to be registered to only one account, not as it had been used by two different people.

    Of course. You should use the same AppleID on all your devices. Why would you create a new one?

  • Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?

    Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?
    We share an e-mail account and would like to use the same e-mail address for both our phones, as well as our computers at home. Is this possible?
    We both have itunes and apple ID's of our own right now, but since getting married, we are deleting these e-mail accounts and sharing one. How can we make this work?

    You may use the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, but using different iCloud Apple IDs is recommended.
    If you use the same iCloud account on your iPhones it will sync all of your contacts, reminders, and notes automatically and it could be a pain. I don't know exactly how you would want to have the iCloud accounts set up on the Macs, because I don't know exactly how you use them. (I am assuming you share?). But you can do whatever you like, you can even keep the same iCloud accounts, etc but you may want to disable the syncing of certain items, because reminders for ones phone popping up on the others automatically would probably get annoying, but that is just me.

  • Just got my other new ipad yesterday and am setting it up.  Wanting to use the same e-mail address but won't let me.  Any idea's.  We would like to be able to get into e-mails on both ipads. Thanks.

    Just got my other ipad2 yesterday and would like to use the same e-mail that I use on the other one, but it won't let me. Any idea how to set that up.  I thought you could have like 5 on one acct.  Thanks.

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

    It is not clear how or where you "added" your email, but you cannot create an Apple ID using an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID.
    If that is what you did, delete that email address from your family's Apple ID. You should be free to create a new one.
    Do all that by starting here: https://appleid.apple.com/
    Select "Manage your Apple ID". Log in with your family's Apple ID and then delete your own email address wherever it appears.
    Save Changes, log out, and create the new one using the same website. This time select "Create an Apple ID".
    Please don't forget your security questions, and be sure to specify a "rescue email address" that is separate from all other Apple IDs. You will avoid so many problems that way...

  • Please advise - we have 2 iphones, ipad ipod, ipad mini - can i use the same apple id for itunes so that everyone can share or do i need individual apple IDs???

    We are currently using 5 apple products - but all our contacts etc are shared - please advise. We do want to share our music but thats all...

    Create NEW account/ID for them using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    Use the new ID on their devices but only for:

    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • My phone number appears on my daughters iTouch and she can receive my text messages.  If I need to creaye a new user account for her itouch, can i use the same iTunes account or do i need to create a new iTunes account?

    My phone number appears in my daughters list of acceptable numbers to receive texts or messages on her iTouch.
    I sync her iTouch on my iTunes account.
    Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for her to prevent this from happening?  or can i use the same itunes account and just create a separate a differne user name for the same itunes account?
    If i need to create a separate iTunes account, how can i save her data and game levels?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
