You do not need to ask the same question twice. Stick with the first post that you started here.

  • If my my and I have different apple ids can we share apps?

    We have an Ipad but just bought my wife and I our first iphones... I think I will set up my wife's I phone with the same apple ID as the Ipad so that she can sync and share apps with the I pad with ease...
    However,  if I create a separate apple ID for my Iphone will I have to re-buy any apps that we bought on itunes for the ipad?  Or is there a way that I can get the apps from her apple ID to my Iphone with my own apple ID?
    If so can you give me the steps to do this?

    If you haven't set up your own Apple ID already don't.  I suggest you use the same apple ID as your wife's.  The alternative is to do this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848.  It's not efficient as you have to swap apple id's to update apps under both IDs.  20/20 being hindsight, I would have never created a 2nd apple ID for my wife.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT5622 My wife and I have different Apple ID's and passwords but I want to share the music library which is on iCloud under my Apple ID.  How do I set her up to share the music library that exists in iCloud?

    My wife and I have different Apple ID's and passwords but I want to share our music library which is on iCloud under my Apple ID.  How do I set her up to share the music library that resides on the iCloud under my Apple ID?

    You would need to go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap her ID, sign out, then sign back in with your ID.  However, if she has turned on automatic downloads, download previous purchases or signed into an iTunes Match account using her current ID, she would have to wait 90 days from when she first did this to change to another ID.  She can, of course, sync your music to her device using iTunes without changing her ID association.

  • My wife and I have different Apple ID's however when we purchased IPhone 4s and set up our accounts our contacts and apps merged!!! how do we prevent this?

    My wife and I recently purchased IPhones (4S), we use an iMac and an IPad 2, we have separate Apple ID's but when we fired up our new phones and began setting up the systems, our contacts and applications merged. Since then I have disabled ICloud from my phone and my iMac until we can figure out how to avoid this crossover of information. Are we overlooking something?

    Hi Shadow,
    The apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that they were purchased under. Your iCloud accounts are also Apple IDs, so although you can sync the apps to your individual device via iTunes, you will be syncing them to the devices, not to iCloud.
    Since you are still purchasing everything under one Apple ID, then I'm presuming that they live in a single iTunes library on your computer or Mac? If that is the case, then you would just want to:
    Hook up a device to the Mac or computer
    Select the device when it shows up under devices
    Once selected, the Device Profile screens display to the right - click on the Apps tab, and select which ones you want on that device.
    Also check all the other profile pages to make sure they are set up to sync the things you want to sync to that device.
    On the info page, you will see that you can sync Contacts & Calendars via iCloud or via iTunes. If you want a single source for contacts & calendars for both of your devices, sync them via iTunes. If you want your own sets of contacts & calendars, sync them via iCloud.
    Do you have iCloud set up on the computer or Mac? If so, which iCloud account are you planning on using?
    Some of the decisions you will want to make will depend on how you have your computer or Mac configured in conjunction with iTunes. One Apple ID, but one or two User Accounts for the computer or Mac? iCloud on the computer or Mac? What do you want to share and to not share?
    Post back with any questions.
    Cheers,

  • My husband and I have iPhones each. My 3 children have iPods each. Can we share our music purchased from itunesCan

  • HT204053 My wife and I have different Apple IDs but would like to share calendars; how best to accomplish this?

    Sharing our calendars has become essential. We developed a joint calendar on iCloud. Each one of us has our own Apple ID on our iPhone 4S. How can we both have access to the same iCloud calendar so that we can keep current for both of us? Similarly, on partitions to our MacBook Pro?
    TIA
    Jeff

    Select an iCloud calendar, right/command click on it and choose "Shared Settings". Follow the prompts.

  • Wife & I have different Apple IDs & can't link as Family?

    Why can't my wife and I have different Apple IDs, join as "family" and use the same iCloud storage?  When Apple showed the iOS 8, the idea of building a family would allow all users, (ours have iPhone each, an iPad each, and one iMac that supports iCloud) to use the same iCloud storage.  That is what "family" ment to me.  Is there any way to fix this unfriendly family setting to work better, or must I buy more storage?

    Family sharing doesn't include sharing the same storage plan, at least not at the present time.  Storage cannot be shared between two iCloud accounts/IDs.

  • HT202213 Can I share music with my wife if we have different Apple IDs

    Can I share music with my wife if we have different Apple IDs

    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.

  • How to change apple id on iPhone. Wife and I have same apple ID.  Get each others iMessages. want to put her on another cloud with different id.

    How to change apple id on iPhone? Wife and I have same apple ID which causes me to get her iMessages instead of her. I also get all her pics on my phone and I don't want them.  We need to change her apple ID without causing my ID and cloud to be closed.

    Have her create a new ID.   Here:  https://appleid.apple.com/
    Have her log out of iMessage/Facetime/iCloud on her device.   Now have her use the new ID she has created.
    That should keep the 2 of you separated, except for iTunes purchases.   You can share that ID in a family up to 5 devices.

  • Can i keep my music when I make a new account? my wife and i have different taste in music an it is getting to be too much

    My wife and I have different taste in music and I have been using her apple account to buy all my music. Well needless to say we are filling up our ipads, ipods, and iphones with each others music. I just got a new computer for my birthday (thanks to my wife who is sick of me using hers) and would like to keep all of the music I purchased on my new account. I am still using her for this question:) Can this be done? I have spent a lot of money on this music and don't want to lose it all. Please help:(

    What does "what was already downloaded to my wife's computer " refer to?  If its music that's been bought as digital downloads (e.g., from the iTunes store) then the issue I referred to earlier applies (plus, in the case of iTunes purchase, it may not be playable if you're using a different Apple ID in iTunes).  The approach of copying content from your wife's computer to yours is valid if it is the result of importing your music from your CDs into iTunes.

  • HT4914 Sounds like, because my wife and I have separate Apple ID and separate iMacs, that we would not be able to use iTunes Match as a single unit/account?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you are using different ID's for iTunes, then unfortunately you can't share an iTunes Match subscription.
