New iPad: would like to access content on 2 iPhones but both have separate Apple IDs -help!?

I've completely comfused myself with Apple IDs and iCloud IDs today so can someone help please?
MY husband and I have separate iphones and ITunes accounts. We have just bought an iPad which we plan to share. We don't want this iPad to be cloned from either of our accounts but we're hoping to be able to bring up different content/ apps while sharing photos to both our iPhones. Wold we always have to sign in/out of social media apps to swap over (for example) or is there another way to easily share the device by performing one sign in and all the apps switch over to that profile? I considered cloning one of our iPhones and only sharing selected apps from our iPhones (not even sure I can!) or setting up a brand new iCloud ID to be a shared account that we can then (hopefully) use family sharing to share photos. Is this the best way?
I keep reading articles about signing in with this Apple ID and then this iCloud ID and now I'm just lost!
Thank you in advance!

I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.

Can someone indicate the way to proceed?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

TS2776 Can I sync my calendar on my iPad with my wife's calendar on her iPhone. We have separate apple id's.

I am trying to sync my calendar on my iPad with my wife's calendar on her iPhone. We both have separate apple ids. Is it possible to do this?

You can share calendars.
Open the Calendar app > Calendars > tap the blue arrow (iOS 7 uses an i) then add your wife.
She in turn can share hers with you

18$ in credit on one Apple ID and would like to use it on my iPhone which is a separate Apple ID

What's the easiest way to go about this?

A device is not connected to one apple ID. You can use many ID's on one phone. It does get a bit annoying switching through each one when there is a update available, but to connect 2 or more, just go to the bottom of the app store and click sign out and then sign into the apple ID with the credit.

HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

make sure the itouch does not have your apple id in the Settings>icloud menu. It is completely different from the App Store.

New computer, would like to install ipod software to it but lost disc!

So, I was working on an eMachine but recently upgraded to an Hp Pavillions dv7 laptop. I have backed up all my music on external hard drives and I'm ready ro completely discard the eMachine. So, naturally I would like to install my ipod to this. Unfortunately seeing as I have a click wheel classic ipod purchased in 2004 that installation disc seems to be long gone- although I found my manual. So I guess these are my questions:
Is there a way to download that software online since I'm missing the disc- if so how and where?
Is it necessary to have that disc before I hook up the ipod to the new system if itunes is already installed?
Someone help! Thanks!

Just install the current version of iTunes. The software on that disk is out of date anyway.

No.

Would Like to Change "appleuser" to my name but don't know how. Help?

Hi,
For starters, I have a late 2009 Macbook (white) and am running Mountain Lion (10.8.2). Anyway, I purchased this computer off of someone else and I would like to change what I assume is the home directory (little house logo) from "appleuser" to my name. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find anything online that is helpful to me. I saw one thing that talked about changing the root login or something like that, but I couldn't even find it when following the steps that were given.
Anyway, like I said I bought the computer off of someone else and seeing the "appleuser" drives me insane so I'd like to change it. Anybody know how?

Open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, create a new user account, and log in with it; alternatively, after unlocking the pane, control-click that account, choose Advanced Options, and change it there.

TS2972 What is the point of Home Share if all devices must have the same Apple ID? Three family members in this home would like to use the facility but all have different Apple IDs.

Three family members use ITunes and would like to use Home Share but the HOme Share set-up guidance states that all devices must use the same Apple ID.
Is there a workaround for this impasse?

I have an ipad2 that has ios4.3.5 that I'm trying to update to iOS 6. I'm not able to update because of unidentifiable apps. I'm assuming that these are apps I tried to get but couldn't open because I needed iOS 5 or higher. These apps are still in my app store always needing updates, but I can't open or update because I don't have iOS 5. I can't delete them either because they can't be opened or aren't on my screen to hold/let wiggle/X. I need to remove these apps, but can't figure out how. Please someone tell me how

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).

We have two iphones and only one ipad. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones, which have separate apple ids. How do we get our ipad to accept this?

We have two iphones and only one ipad - no mac. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones. How do we get the ipad to accept two iphone accounts? icloud is enabled on all three devices.

Also, be aware of the following:
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod/iPhone should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

Welcome to the Apple community.
The iTunes and iCloud accounts are different accounts, check that you are not both using the same iCloud account at settings > iCloud.

Can i get old itunes on new iphone if they have different apple ids?

i have had itunes on the computer that is connected to 2 different ipods for several years. i recently got a new iphone 4s and cannot figure out how to get the itunes library from my computer onto the new phone. is that possible to do if they have 2 different apple ids?

Yes but if you bought the music on both different id's then they are tied to those id's only.

System Preferences - Sharing. If you cannot find System Preferences, then use Command - Spacebar and type System Preference and when you see it in Spotlight (uper right) hit return.

Try ejecting your iphone from iTunes and then close iTunes. Now retry. Hope this helps.
