One Apple ID two phones big problem.

Hi guys,
Before 6 months I bought new Iphone 4s,but it was used one day from person who sell it to me, so it already has Apple id.
I deleted user and created my user which was synced with iCloud and worked without any problem.
Before 10 I bought Iphone 5, also created my Apple ID on it and sync with my PC/ iCloud.
Yesterday I want to sell my first Iphone 4 and I did reset ( Erase all content and setting), but it did not want to wake up, so i started it with DFU mode using I tunes, and I did restore and update.
Now I am facing to bit problem, on the begging steps it says something like "this apple id cannot be used to unlock this iphone".
If I go to iCloud I can see only one device and currently its new iPhone 5, but both devices called with same name, so I am not sure is this problem.
So I have two doubts:
- I am not sure does SIM card can make this problem(on initiation phase you have to put sim in Iphone), because main is much smaller now so I using my wife SIM to finis registration Iphone 4 (iPhone 5 using smaller than iPhone4)?
- another thing It says you have to "use original apple id..", like I sad on the beginning when i bought Iphone4 it already has apple id on it, which I was deleted and configure main (afterwards this device was visible on my iCloud). So do I need to put first creaded apple id, does iPhone remembering first created or last used. If yes I have big problem because I dont have contact of user who sell it to me.
I want to add one thing, Iphone is not stolen I have warranty documentations and all profs that is not stolen.
PLEASE HELP, in my country we have awful support !

Just left the Apple store with an official answer.  You can have two phones one Apple ID, turn off auto updates so you don't automatically get apps on both phones. Then you need two different iCloud accounts.

  • One Apple ID, two phones, diff amts of storage (only ONE user)

    Sorry for getting shout-y, but all the 2 device/1 account questions I'm reading involve how to manage/share/hide between two users and that isn't my issue.
    I have an iPhone 4.  I recently got an iPhone 5.  The 4 has 32g of space, the 5 only 16.  I'm an app junkie.  I don't use iCloud (and would prefer not to if possible), don't use photostream (at the moment).  I always sync by cable, directly to my computer.
    I couldn't pass up the 5 since I got it for a great price, but the lack of storage is an issue for me until I get my storage/charging case in a few months.  My plan is to use the 5 as my "phone" and keep on it the apps I use most often.  The 4 will have everything I use, including the memory-hoarding games and podcasts and music.  Plus as I come across more apps/games I can dl them to the 4, try them out, and then if I decide to keep them, load them onto the 5.  My IP/SIM is going to be transferred to the 5, the 4 will be wifi-only.
    I just synced the 4 and updated/backed it up.  I am currently syncing the 5 to the same Apple ID on the same computer/iTunes account.  I have already gotten the warning that there is not enough room to install all the apps, which I expected.  My 4 is 1 G short of being full.
    These are my questions:
    - will I be able to get my iMessages on both?  (I assume yes to the 4, when in wifi)
    - if I was to turn on photostream, is there some way to be able to have pics/videos I take easily transferred between the two phones?  Since one has more storage, if I could send stuff to the 4 until I get a chance to sync/backup, then delete it from the 5 to save space, that would be cool.  (Also handy if I need a pic on the other unit which isn't with me).
    - what happens when I sync?  Besides the two phones having different content, one has half the memory of the other.  I'm worried that each time I sync it will overwrite with the other phone's content, etc.
    For that last one- I have debated transferring my Apple ID to the 5, and once everything is set up properly, creating a new Apple ID for the 4, and then putting all my **** on there.  That way I can sync each one without cross-contaminating each backup.  But I really like the idea of being able to go into the app store and just pulling in whichever apps I already bought on whichever phone without having to log in/out. 
    Which is the better way to do this? 

    Also, I'd prefer to keep the same ID on both so I will keep access to my calendar/contacts/etc on both devices.  Would I be able to share reminders and voice memos and the like as well?  And how often would they update each other?  If I edit a contact on the 5, and the 4 is in wifi, assuming they're both on my same ID, will the contact update on the 4? 

  • One apple ID, two phones = nightmare..help!

    My husband and I made the jump to the iPhone 4S a couple days ago. Verizon transferred our contacts and everything was fine while we were in the store. They used our existing apple ID that we both shared from our home computer. This morning i woke up to find that all of his contacts and his apps were now on my phone and the same for him. I am assuming this is because of iCloud. I downloaded almost 100.00 worth of songs under that apple ID and now the technician with verizon says I have to create my own account and reset my phone, losing everything. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is there a way to save my songs?

  • One Apple ID, two phone, contacts

    My wife and I share an Apple ID, is there a way to separate our contacts...  Now, she has all of her contacts and mine, is there a way for her to keep just her contacts and I keep all mine?
    Thanks.

    Did you think about creating a new user account on your computer? Set it up with the same iTunes ID, disable autosync in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices and back up the phone manually by right clicking on it in the device list and choosing "backup".
    Do the same again and choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought apps and media to the new iTunes library.
    Set up at least one contact and event on the computer before you sync for the first time, which will erase your phone. But you can restore from the manual backup you made before to get all the settings and data back.
    You might have to fill in some passwords again which are not included in the backup, for example in Mail.
    Saving other data is also explained in this article:

  • Itunes wont sync my music on 5S Apple YOU HAVE A BIG PROBLEM

    Hi,
    Apple YOU HAVE A BIG PROBLEM !!!!
    Having tried all proposed solutions found in the communities, but none of all didn't work !
    I had no problem at all on my previous 4S with IO 7.0.2 , but since last week I get my brand new 5S with IO 7.0.4 & its only a mess to sync all my music on this phone . Latest Itunes is installed on my computer.....
    All music albums are on my 5S, but marked with this red circle with a red dot in the middle ...
    It's a shame that no solutions works & that Apple didn't react to help all the customers to fix this bug!
    I hope that someone @ Apple will read this ....

    This may sound like a terrible solution, but have you tried switching the file format to .m4a (itunes default format) on all of your music?
    If not, it just might work.

  • HT4913 one of my two phones accepted imatch and the other says that i meed to subscribe. Why?

    one of my two phones accepted imatch and the other says that i meed to subscribe. Why?

    Try resetting the one dropping calls more often.  Hold the on/off and home switches together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, consider restoring it using iTunes.

  • One apple id two different users

    I was the "original" purchaser and user of iTunes music.  Had music on my desktop (then laptop) and iPhone and Nano and iPad Mini, etc.  Many years ago I also got my husband an iPod.  We just used my Apple ID and manually added music to his iPod since he and I have mostly different tastes in music.  It wasn't really much of an issue back then.  But since then he now has a Mac Mini and a new iPod Touch.  His Mac Mini has it's own library of music which is obviously different than the library on my MB Air.  We have "my music" and "his music" most all of which has been purchased from iTunes under the one Apple ID. I keep all of our mobile devices set to sync manually so there's no unintentional "cross mixing" of our music. Obviously in hind sight I should have setup his own Apple ID for all of his music back then, but that's a bridge already crossed.
    So what's the problem?  It started as one thing but has morphed into an additional thing...  He was getting confused/irritated that on his iPod he was "seeing" "my" music which he didn't want to see or play.  I did some googling and found the setting to turn off so that he would only see music that was actually ON his iPod rather than all purchased music.
    Then the second problem came up.  He had copied most everything from his library to his iPod Touch, and certain songs would play for awhile and then the sound would stop.  Music would keep moving - but no sound.  Several trips and phone calls and apple support help couldn't figure out the problem.  It was not hardware related.  I now think that the problem is that the music that stops playing is Protected AAC music and that is causing some squirrelly things to happen.  I found a site that explains how to change this protected music to purchased music using iTunes Match.  And I am not averse to doing that.  But I am so unclear about how iTunes Match would work with both his library and mine that I'm not ready to do that without some input and guidance.  I have two scenarios I would like help with:
    Ideal Plan:  Set him up with his own Apple ID but he still has complete access to all of the current music that he wants including getting the protected music to be purchased music so that it works.  In the future all of his purchases are done under his Apple ID.
    If That isn't Possible Plan:  Use iTunes Match to change the protected music to be purchased music so (hopefully) his iPod Touch won't stop playing those older protected songs.  And I think I'd like to use iTunes Match for my music library as well because I put music on my iPhone and it takes up a lot of space.  Would rather be able to access it through the Cloud rather than have it all physically on my phone.  But what next?  I certainly don't want to see all of his music and playlists on my phone, and he doesn't want to see my music and playlists on his phone. 
    If I ...
    a. setup  iTunes Match on his desktop to fix the protected music problem, then
    b. copy everything to his iPod, then
    c. turn Match off on his desktop and iPod
       what will happen if I
    d.  setup iTunes Match on my desktop and iPhone - will I see all of his music too which I don't want to do??
    I am so confused and I'm not sure my questions make any sense to anyone else.  But if anyone can point me in the right direction for a solution I would be extremely grateful.
    Thanks for any tips or solutions.

    I understand.  But "his stuff" isn't on my machine so iTunes Match wouldn't find "his" music to match up.  It's only on his machine.
    Marcy,
    Match looks for stuff to upgrade in your purchase history, not on your machine.  In fact, to make the upgrade work, the first thing you have to do is delete the DRM version!
    Here are the steps for using Match to upgrade (the reference doc is  iTunes Store: iTunes Plus Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support ):
    Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?
    Yes. If you subscribe to iTunes Match, you can download your previously purchased music again in the iTunes Plus format. To do so:
    You need to delete the original DRM song from your library first. Doing this enables you to download the song again in the iTunes Plus format from iTunes in the Cloud.
    Click the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store.
    Click Music.
    Locate the artist of the song you want to upgrade.
    Click the iCloud Download icon next to the song you want to upgrade.

  • One Apple ID Two ICloud Accounts several devices?

    Hello,
    My wife and I have added some IOS devices and I am very confused on how to setup what I want... please help!
    Old Setup:
    In the past we've used one Apple ID for all devices: one Mac, one iPad, one iPhone and an old iPod that syncs manually.
    What I want to have now:
    Now we have one Mac, 2 iPads, and 2 iPhones.  I want to keep all devices under the same Apple ID so all can share Music.  I want to segregate/seperate the following data:
    1. my iPhone/iPad/shared Mac - contacts, calendar, mail, apps, photo stream.
    2. wife's iPhone/iPad/shared Mac - contacts, calendar, mail, apps, photo stream. 
    What I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around is how to keep some data (and device - Mac) shared but some data and IOS devices seperate.
    Can I setup two calendars, address books, etc to individual iCloud accounts that sync with same Mac?
    Thanks for any help in advance!!

    I d suggest another use account on your mac for calendars contacts and everything with the cloud.
    Can I setup two calendars, address books, etc to individual iCloud accounts that sync with same Mac?"
    not on one account.

  • One Apple-id - Two iPads

    I have just one Apple-id, one iPad and one iMac.
    I'd like to have a Face-Time from my home with my daughter on the other iPad.
    How can I connect to ? (the identity is the same !).
    Moreover, does FaceTime works if iPad is on 3G ?
    Thanks for your help

    I have the same. Just give each device a different email address in the place where you turn this function on. I have only 1 Apple id/email address  I used my Comcast email address for the other device.
    I do not know @ 3G issue. Once you get both devices working you can figure rather FaceTime works in that environment.

  • One Apple ID two Iphones. Can I create 2 icloud ID's to manage content?

    I have a Mac that runs Snow Leopard
    iTunes is updated
    2 iphones
    1 iPad
    1 Apple ID
    After the iso5 update our contacts have merged on the 2 phones.  Trying to find a solution so both iPhone users can manage separate content in iCloud under 1 Apple ID.
    Help!

    I have this same problem as well.  My endgoal would be for both ip4 users to share 1 itunes id and have two separate icloud accounts so that purchased content can be shared with your family member yet your contacts and calenders dont merge.
    At this point, I know of two solutions that arent of my preference. 
    Creating two separate @me addresses through the new ios 5 update during the icloud setup.  The problem is that most people just enter the email address associated with their apple id on both phones before they realize that something is wrong.  After updating both iphones we now have merged information.
    To undo this has been problematic.  The only true solution for this circumstance has been to disable the cloud for 1 of the users in their icloud settings.
    Ideally, you would delete your icloud account on one of the ip4's and redo the setup utilizing a different @me.com address than the other user.  This however, is not possible.  I deleted the icloud account on my iphone hoping that this would allow me to re-enter the information.  However, when setting up the icloud again on the ip4, the previously used email address is already entered with no option for edit. Addionally you are never prompted for creating a new mobileme email account. Thus still sharing information with the other user.

  • One cloud but two phones

    I have two iphones with one account. I want to split them so the contacts, photos, music etc will remain separate when storing on icloud.
    If I delete go into settings for icloud and delete the account on the one iphone, will this affect entire account or just the one phone?

    Hello Jimbegood,
    You can remove iCloud from one device without affecting the other device.  Follow these steps to log out of iCloud on the iPhone you would like to remove the iCloud account from:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Once you delete the account from your device, you will have an option to sign in with an atlernate Apple ID in Settings>iCloud.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • One Apple ID, two iPhones, same iCloud. How do I get rid of this without losing contacts, calendars etc?

    Hi there, hope someone can help.
    My mum upgraded about 18 months ago to an iphone 5 and to set it up we used my Apple ID as it was linked to my dads bank card. Had absolutely no problems with this, everything has maintained separate.
    However when my mum decided to update to ios7 (and as she is a novice has not backed her phone up since upgrading) At first it appeared that when she updated she had lost all her contacts, calendars etc but this was restored through iCloud.
    Now our phones appear completely linked. Eg when I receive a FaceTime call it goes to my mums phone as well.
    So is there any way of splitting our iCloud account without having to lose all our data? Especially as my mum has months worth of business meetings. To make it worse we currently live the other side of the country from each other, so going to the Genius Bar seems rather pointless!

  • Apple TV 2 has big problems homesharing - fixes?  firmware update needed!

    After 5 days of having ATV2, (which is lovely when its working) I'm still having problems narrowed down to Homeshare access from ATV2 to my macbook running the latest itunes.
    I've just moved house and got a new broadband router and provider the same day as the ATV2, so it has taken a while to make sure it was not the router (BT home Hub 2), the connection, or my macbook itself.
    Macbook - (Running Snow Leopard) Internet working fine with router and broadband, (have removed all network settings, removed passwords in keychain and repaired permissions, restarted and re-entered network info - just incase).
    Router - works fine all day, with macbook and dell laptop, Have tried restarting a lot just incase
    Apple TV 2 - works fine with broadband and router, and I can browse the online selection of videos, youtube etc fine.
    Homeshare - When I connect ATV2 using homeshare to my macbooks itunes account, it works for a maximum of 2 minutes then loses connection. And my macbook which still shows full wifi signal can no longer get the internet, and forgets the wifi password and says its wrong when I re-enter it. Only fix is to restart router and delete network settings on macbook and re-enter them.
    So is this homeshare technology screwing up, Apple TV 2 screwing up, or my router jumping in after a couple of minutes and saying NO!.
    Is anyone else experiencing exactly the same as me?
    Its a shame that the only thing I've found left to try (after searching alot of forums) is when turning on 'Homeshare in Itunes' don't press the 'DONE' button. Will give that a try tonight.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Ok, got home and finally after cooking, bathing and putting our 9 month old daughter to bed I got to play around with the Apple TV 2 problem.
    I'm pleased to say the 'not' pressing the 'DONE' button seems to be working, it is keeping the Homeshare connection live, and has done for the past 2 hours. Far better than my previous 2 minute record.
    The connection was however very very very very very slow (like 30 seconds to load one video thumbnail), and made the internet very slow on my laptop and on the apple tv. But after now changing my BT home Hub wireless channel to 7, it seems to be working a lot better. If it drops again I will try the other available channels. Worth noting that as soon as homeshare is going the apple tv must start emitting another frequency that was screwing with my router. I've also left my laptop with a static IP, (again may change back if needs be).
    This is by no means the end of the problem as having to open itunes and not press 'DONE' doesn't seem very cool and I'm sure Steve Jobs will be quite annoyed that his lovely new Apple tv is a little bit crap.
    We shall see if it is still working tomorrow morning, I'll leave it all on and see if it stays connected all night.
    Unfortunately my wife is now watching normal crappy TV and will have to wait for her to go to bed to test the connection a bit more thoroughly....Avater in 720P over homeshare is waiting!!! and has been for 5 days!!!
