My wife and I share apple id but have our own phones, and now having trouble with imessage
My wife and I share apple id but have our own phones, and now having trouble with imessage. Sharing calenders, apps, music, contacts, etc...all great. But when we imessage each other. Our phones get confused and either not deliver message, or send it to and from itself.
Go to Settings > Facetime and you will see "You can be reached for video calls at:"
This should list your phone number (iPhone) and your email address (probably the gmail one).
And then an option for "Add another email..."
Choose that and enter your @me.com account and it'll send a verification email.
Same for iMessage: Settings > Messages > "Receive at" > Add Another Email
So you can be called by facetime and use iMessage through multiple email accounts yes.

Hi I am having trouble with iMessage on the mac book pro, it doesnt sync with the ipad and iPhone, both the ipad and iPhone do but not on the mac book pro , has anyone any suggestions, thanks in advance
First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac. Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up. Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread. It should work after performing those steps. Good luck!

I am having trouble with iMessage being activated. It has worked up until yesterday and now won't activate and is saying no address in the send and receive section. My number is there but not ticked. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I have shut down my phone, but still no luck!
iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

Hi geraldinefromjersey city,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with Messages. If you are having issues linking your Messages accounts between your iPhone and MacBook Air, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

Had to change my apple id, now having trouble with email on icloud
Had to change my Apple id, now having trouble with email on icloud.
And also receive pop ups that says there is a with problem with photo stream which i can't use, with my operating systemFor the ones that give you an option, select the option you want (keep on the Mac or Delete). For the ones that are simply warning you, click on Delete from Mac.
They will all come back when you sign back on, since all you did was change your existing Apple ID to a new email address. It's the same iCloud account, just with a different name.
It's the only way to get your updated ID signed onto iCloud.
Cheers,

I am having trouble with iMessage. When it is on, I won't get messages to my iPhone, they go to my iPad. This is not cool since my iPad doesn't always travel with me. Even if I message is not on the phone but is on the iPad.

We share Itunes acct. We wish to have single acct.s for each iphone plz help
There is no way to split or merge Apple ID's.
That being said, it is possible to have content from multiple ID's on a single device.
Always use seperate ID's for iMessage unless you want to get each others iMessages.
You can use the same Apple ID for iCloud which will allow for downloading automatically the content wirelessly on the device. This may be annoying though if you turn on automatic syncing of apps.
The best solution is to use a shared library in iTunes and sync the content you desire from the computer. Then use a single but seperate Apple ID on each device.

Hi I have just gotten a old Ipad 2 to use, wich has a problem. It just shuts down for no reason. then it s difficult to turn it back on. anyone know about this problem
Make sure it's charged.
Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider. -
My apps on my i phone now i have updated the software to the iOS 6.0.1 my phone restarts and crashes and i cant access some of my apps.. Espescially Facebook its constantly crashes.
Basics from the User's Guide are reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
Also, make certain that all of the apps have been updated to the most current version. -
My husband and I recently got married and we both have our own laptops and iPods with our own individual iTunes library. We would like to share the music we have downloaded over the years. I have read several discussions on the forums and think maybe Home Sharing is the way to go- but if I sign in my iTunes on my husband's computer, will it delete his iTunes library? I'm not very computer savvy.
I tried attaching some songs as e-mails and sending them to him, but it would only allow him to add the songs I retrieved off of actual music CDs to his iTunes library- he could not add songs I had paid for through the store.
If anyone could help us figure out if there is a way to share our music across both libraries/iPods, we would be greatly appreciative!!
-K
Also, we use Windows, not Macs, if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance!!!if I sign in my iTunes on my husband's computer, will it delete his iTunes library?
LOL! If Home Sharing deleted the other person's library, then Home Sharing wouldn't have too many users, would it?
Seriously, Home Sharing sounds like a fine solution to the need you express.
However, your question suggests that your library is not backed up, right? You and your husband should each make a backup of your libraries. -
I have multiple devices (iMacs, Lap tops, Ipads) all connected to a Nas Drive. Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife and we each have our own apple ID's, Itunes etc, but share the same data on the hard drives? So when she logs in, and sync's her ipads, they will sync with her stuff and when I do the same under my user account, on the same device, my ipads will sync with my stuff?
You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

My wife and I share a computer, but different Itunes accounts. How do I stop itunes from synchronising her apps to my phone?
If the music is on the same computer, import the songs to your iTunes library by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows). If the music is on different computers you can set up Home Sharing to copy the music from one library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620).

HT5621 can my wife and I share iBooks using one of our apple accounts?
My wife and I each have an iPad and an iPhone. She has a Macbook Air I have a Macbook Pro wth retina display. I also have an iPad mini retina.
Is there a way we can share books bought through iBooks even though we have different Apple accounts? I have Mavericks and she is going to update to it on our Macs.

Not sure this helps in your case, but worth a look perhaps:
