My husband and I share the same email address. Is there someway to have different AppleIDs with the same email address?
My husband and I share the same email address at home. Is there some way creating an Apple ID using the same email address? We have multiple apple devices at home (2x iphone4, imac, mini ipad, and notebook) and want our emails from that one address to come through on the different devices.
No, you cannot have the same primary email address used for two separate Apple IDs.
However, you can sign into the same email address on your separate devices for the purposes of receiving mail. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts & Calendars > Add Account.
Apple IDs are for using Apple services, like the App Store, iTunes, etc.
Email addresses (while used as the NAME of an Apple ID), are separate entities.

I bought an iPhone in San Francisco and I live in Ecuador, I need a place to claim the world apple warranty in Ecuador, because I have a problem with the screen
There is no "world apple warranty" on iPhones. As paulcb points out, the warranty is only valid in the country of origin. You will have to bring it to the U.S. or send it to someone you know there to get it serviced.

My husband and I currently share an iTunes account but we would like to have separate accounts. How do we do this?
you would have to create a new appleid for one of you in itunes or at appleid.apple.com since you cant split up an account
you can't move purchases from one to another but you can always keep that account for the store and just use the new one for icloud facetime etc -
My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?
A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however. -
My husband and I share the same apple Id for our iphones, now each one has different contacts, email, pictures, information, etc how coul I change the id of my iphone without delete any information?
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. -
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.

How do i make icloud work if my husband and I share the same itunes account but we dont want to get each others contacts, messages, apps etc?
Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account. -
My husband and I share one computer. We want to be able to share the same music on our iPhones, but we don't want to share the same contacts and applications. How can I set this up so we still share music, but everything else is separate on our iPhones?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. You can both use the same ID for the store login and share your music etc., and use different ID's to log in to iCloud, thereby keeping your calendars etc separate. -
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?

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.

My husband and I share the itunes account. I just got an iMac. Everytime I send a message from my iMac, it appears to come from my husband's account phone number. Is there any way to fix this? Also, when I open iMessages, all the texts are from his phone (his text conversations).
Thank you so much for your help!
MyrnaTry This:
Open up the imessage app on your Imac. Once you have it opened go to top left corner of your screen next to the apple picture and the word MESSAGES appears. Click on it then click on preferences and uncheck your husbands phone and number and or any other numbers which are checked. I had same problem this fixed it. Also if you wanted to you can open up your own Apple account, but that's not really necessary. My wife and I both share the same as you do -
My husband and I share music in one itunes account for both of our iphones. We just got the new iphone 5s's and iin ttryinngto back up our old phones I have realized we SHARE one icloud as well. Can I create him a new icloud for pictures, contacts etc
You can have one icloud account and a different itunes account on the phone. I have my icloud account and a shared itunes account. He does not have to use the new icloud account as is ID in itunes and app store. He can keep using the old one.
