My wife and I use one Apple i.d. account.  How can I change to use two i.d.'s and retain all my contacts and music and allow my wife to likewise save her contacts and music, too?

My wife and I each have Iphone 4s and I also have Ipad latest version with 6.0 operating system.  Additonally we have Ipod Classics (a few years old) and when I got the 4s and Ipad (at different times) they started to share contacts, apps...everything with each other.  I bumped up the amount of Icloud space, but more importantly, how can I create two separate accounts yet save all the contacts, music, etc. that are in both of our phones?  Can Verizon (our cell provider) archive our contacts for downloads at different time to our separate accounts?  Thanks.

Just call yur provider and they will set it up with you.
This is what I do, when I get a new iphone and give mine to my wife.

  • HT204053 i used wrong apple id at setup how can i change it now

    I was restoring itouch and i used wrong apple id in icloud set up. is there a way i can change it now?

    Settings>iCloud>Delete Account. Choose if you want to delete or keep the data from the wrong ID in your iPhone. If you choose "delete from iPhone" the data will not delete from iCloud server. The add a new iCloud account with the ID you want.
    Maybe you want to change the Apple ID in iMessage and FaceTime to. Go to settings>messages/FaceTime  to sign out and back in with the ID you want.

    I have been using one apple ID for my family as it makes it easier to manage itunes purchases/rentals on all of our devices.  Now that my kids are getting old and my wife has recently purchased an Iphone, I can see that I need to change my strategy. I plan to add a few more iphones to the family very soon.  What is your recommendation to manage all of our devices (iphones, itouch, apple tv) for my family?  Can I continue to function with one apple ID or is it time to take the leep into attempting to manage multi-apple ID's?

  • I don't remember my old Apple ID and I closed my email account that I was using for my old Apple ID. Now, how can I change my icloud id on my Ipad. The old icloud id is still on my Ipad.

    ChrisJ4203,
    Thank you for the help.  Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID.  I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone.  In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one.  My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID.  Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I  agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

    I purchased several apps using one Apple ID.  Now I want to change my Apple ID. Will I lose anything?

    You won't lose anything, however all purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them originally so future updates of your existing apps will still require the password for your old ID (whether you are still using it for purchasing or not.

  • HT204053 i lost my iPhone recently and how can i retrieve it using my Apple ID? also, how to turn icloud on using Itunes even if the phone's lost?

    i lost my iPhone recently and how can i retrieve it using my Apple ID? also, how to turn icloud on using Itunes even if the phone's lost?

    Unless you had enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it (it can only be turned on directly on the phone, it can't be done remotely). If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • Array of clusters and in the cluster is a bar meter, how can I change the color individually?

    Array of clusters and in the cluster is a bar meter, how can I change the color of the bar meter individually for each element of the array?  I have just figured out that you can't change properties of one element of the array without all elements changing.  For the scaling I had to make numeric indicators for each tick of the scale so that each bar meter in the clustered array would have individual scales.  I also had to do some math to scale each barmeter to display correct proportions from 0 to 100%.  Now I'm stumped on the color of the bar meter.  Basically, if the value goes over a setpoint, the bar meter needs to turn red.  It has to be in an array to be infinitely scalable.
    Thanks
    Matt
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can't do that-
    without a little trick.
    You could consider laying a custom color box over the bar graph in the cluster you can set the color based on the value of the bar graph or even make a "Pseudo"- bar graph using a series of color boxes stacked to look lie a bar and changing values of the Color boxs from empty to full to red.
    Here is an example to demonstrate

    I was in a Pages Doc and inadvertently had the Caps Lock on. How Can I change all the text I typed from Upper Case to Lower Case?

    Several protocols may be used.
    Here I describe two of them.
    (1) the one which I use : install and use the "Convert to Lowercase" service available in the free WordService
    (2) copy your text, paste in TextEdit and enter the Edit menu.
    I guess that you will recognize the items in your English menu.

    My iCloud on my iPad is in my ex partners name and I don't no his password . How can I change the username in 2 my name ?

    iCloud from an account perspective is associated with the AppleID. Unless you have the password, there's nothing you can do to modify it.
    As suggested, you just want to create your own and reassocited the iPad with your new one. You will lose data and purchased apps, however. Basically, you will be starting from scratch.

    My wife and I have one Apple ID through which we have individually purchased apps for her iPad and my iPad 2. We both now have individual iCloud accounts, and she now has an iPhone. For business reasons we now have to separate the apps under our individual iCloud accounts, but will maintain a single Apple ID for purchases. How can we separate the apps?

    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,
