My iCloud id is currently the same as my NZ Apple id. I am about to also create a new US Apple id. Should I then create a new iCloud id with it or use the existing one with both Apple IDs? BTW this is for both new iPad and iPhone4.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I already have purchases linked to my existing NZ Apple ID, and will still be using them.  However, once the US Apple ID is set up I will use that predominantly from both devices for any new purchases (and Apple TV).
I also understand that iOS5 made a change that says there is a 90 day hold on changing between Apple ID's on the same device.  Does anyone know if this is true?

You will lose data from whichever was the 2nd to last to sync .
Don't do it.

  • HT201317 i have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through.  How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

    I have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through.  How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

    This usually happens because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your phone until deleted).  When you enabled photo stream on your Mac you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
    To get older photos to your Mac, create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).  The be sure you check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream.  You can then import them to your iPhoto library by opening the shared photo stream album in iPhoto, then going to Edit>Select All, Control-clicking on any of the selected photos and selecting Import.

    I've reset the password a few times and know I am using the correct one. I get the same error on both my iPad and iPhone. Both see the network but maybe there is a problem with the router. I've also reset that a few times with no luck. Thank you.

    Open Contacts, select a contact, then tap Edit in the upper right corner.

  • Why is the writing in the Music App on both my ipad and iPhone red?

    On both my ipad and iPhone, most of the labels are in Red.  The Store link, the Now Playing link, all of the letters down the right side of the page.  Any icon I select along the bottom turns red when selected (radio, playlists, artists, songs, more). I'd swear it was not always like this!  What have I done to cause this?

    Updated the iOS version. It is the same on my iOS devices.

  • TS3899 I am having issues with both my iPad and iPhone 5C in trying to send email from my home email account. It will receive email but I can't send email, each time I try an error message comes up.  The error message is: Cannot Send Mail; Acopy has been

    The error message that is received is: Cannont Send Mail; A copy has ben placed in your Outbox. The recipient [email protected] was rejected by the server.
    Is this a problem in the way the accounts have been set up or with my local email server?

    Check the parameters in your email account against what is recommended by your email provider.
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > account
    Have you contacted the support contact at your email provider?

  • My husband and I both have iPads and somehow when they were setup the both we're setup using the same email I'd address. When I go to delete and rename one iPad it says all info and pictures will be erased from my iPad. Is there a way to keep the info iPa

    You can go to Settings/iCloud and delete the account, then create a new iCloud account.  You can still use the same account for the app store though.

  • HT1175 Time Machine wants to start with a new, full backup instead of using the existing one

    Hi, my Time Machine wants to start a new, full backup, instead of continuing with the existing one on the time Capsule.
    Looking a the Troubleshooting guide, I've found the following piece of info, which is, as 99% of the times with the troubleshooting guides, totally useless to resolve my problem...
    Message: Time Machine starts a new, full backup instead of a smaller incremental backup
    There are three reasons why this may occur:
    You performed a full restore.
    Your Computer Name (in Sharing preferences) was changed--when this happens, Time Machine will perform a full backup on its next scheduled backup time.
    If you have had a hardware repair recently, contact the Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store that performed your repair. In the meantime, you can still browse and recover previous backups by right-clicking or Control-clicking the Time Machine Dock icon, and choosing "Browse Other Time Machine disks" from the contextual menu.
    It should be noted (hence the uselessness of the guide) that:
    -I haven't performed ANY full restore
    - I havent changed my computer name
    - My computer has not had ANY repair, much less a hardware repair. Neither recently, nor in the 9 months I've owned it.
    Which puts me back to square one, with the marginal improvement that now I have a way of browsing my old backups.
    In the event I decide to start all over again, will there be a way for me to "sew" the two backup files?
    Or will I always have to go the silly way around?
    Anybody has any idea?
    Thank you for your time (machine/capsule, your choice;-)

    Hi John,
    no, that doesn't have anything to do with my problem.
    Just look at the image below.
    Time Machine thinks that the disk I've always used to do my backups has none of them.
    If I open the disk with Finder, obviously they are where they should be.
    It is even possible to navigate them as per the instruction reported above, but even following Pondini's advice #s B5 and B6 (which are more applicable to my problem) didn't solve the problem.
    Actually, not being a coder, I'm always scared of doing more damage than good when I have a Terminal window open.
    My question is: how is it possible that Apple hasn't thought of some kind of user command to tell the idiotic Time Machine software that a hard disk backup is a hard disk backup, no matter what?
    Estremely frustrating and annoying: I'm wasting HOURS in trying to find a solution to a problem that should not have arisen in the first place...
    Have a nice weekend

  • If i used the same apple id and email to set up both my ipad and ipod what can i do to be able to use face time to call from one device to the other

    if i used the same apple id and email to set up both my ipad and ipod what can i do to be able to use face time to call from one device to the other

    They can share an Apple ID, but each device must use a different email address when setting up FaceTime.  Create a gmail email (or hotmail, or ...) address and use that on one of the devices when you setup FaceTime.
    You don't actually have to use the 'new' email address, it is probably just used as an index to reference the correct device when initiating a call via the FaceTime server.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    What exactly do you mean by your stuff, what type of documents are you talking about.

  • My iPad and iPhone4s both state "NOT ENOUGH STORAGE" and can't backup due to not enough iCloud storage available in the cloud.  I have sync my phone but I still get the msg - I will sync the iPad as well - both devices receive my mail as well as Acer pc.?

    My iPad and iPhone4s both state "NOT ENOUGH STORAGE" and can't backup due to not enough iCloud storage available in the cloud.
      I have sync my phone to my pc using itunes, but I still get the msg on the phone - could it be that the ipad and phone both receive the same mail?  I did go into Settings - icloud - and shut off Mail on phone - I will sync the iPad as well - both devices receive my mail as well as Acer pc.?  thank you -

    Not having enough storage in your iCloud account isn't caused by using your iCloud email account on your device.  It may be caused by having lots of email in your account though.
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage to see what is taking up the space in your account.

  • Both my iPad and iPhone have stopped receiving e-mail from Comcast using the Mail app.

    This is really frustrating.  I just spent an hour on the phone with a fairly good Comcast tech, and he couldn't solve the problem.  They said it might be because Mail goes through iCloud, and iCloud may be having trouble.
    I have tried restarting both the iPad and iPhone, changing ports, deleting and re-setting up the comcast mail account, etc.  I am able to view my e-mail on my MacBook Pro using Outlook, and the Comcast website e-mail is also OK.
    Any suggestions?  It would be good if I could talk to an Apple tech, but apparently that is not an option.

    Thanks for the additional information.  No error messages.  No issues w/ POP3 e-mail being locked out....
    I had not changed any settings before this problem occured.  Both Mail apps on the iPad and iPhone just crashed.  I believe in causality (I am a Physicist), so probably it wasn't anything on my iPad or iPhone.
    It has become all too common for tech companies to blame anyone but themselves.  As a customer with little control or input, I find this infuriating.
    Now, both my iPad and iPhone have started working again, after nearly 6 hours w/ out e-mail working.
    Maybe it was sunspots!  
    Thanks again!
