Separate "iMessage accounts" on two iPhones with the same Apple ID
I have two iPhone 4 handsets. One is for work and one is my private number. Currently I am using the same Apple ID on both phones, as I want to use the apps I've purchased on both devices and get my contacts from iCloud.
As I usually bring both handsets with me, it is annoying to receive the same iMessage to both phones. Is there anyway to create two separate "iMessage accounts" such that I can use iMessage on both phones, but messages sent to my work phone will only be received on my work phone, and similarly, the iMessages sent to my private phone will only be received on my private phone?
Sure, just create another Apple ID & use that for iMessage:

will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id
It will. If the two phones are used by two different people, however, you will need to implement some careful management of your iMessage settings to ensure that you don't each receive each-other's messages. It is a much safer option to use different Apple IDs for each individual.
On iOS devices, you are able to use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and Facetime, iCloud, and the iTunes and App Stores. -

Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out...
Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

My son and I both have iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself from finding out what he is up to during Freshers week!
You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.

I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.
Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:
Using Game Center
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
Game Center settings - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9a13d039
Game Center settings
Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
Allow invites
Let nearby players find you
Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
Cheers,

I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?
As long as you're logged into the same AppleID on both devices, this is not a problem. It's only a problem if you're logged into a different AppleID and then try to associate FaceTime with an email that tied to the other AppleID.

Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID?
Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID? SO i could iMessage if out from my iPod to my iPad at home to be viewed by a family member?
Look into using Apple Configurator. It's the easiest way to "reimage" and Manage iPads that I know of right now.

Also, look into using the Educational Volume Purchase Program, if you have not already done so.

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.
Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup. -

HT2693 How to download pictures from multiple iPhones with the same Apple ID?
I have multiple iPhones (e.g. iPhone 4S, iPhone 5) registered under the same Apple ID however i only manage to download the pictures in my iPhone 5 via iCloud.
How do I retrieve the remaining photos that was uploaded to iCloud previously from my older iPhones with the same Apple ID?
Pls help!!!Hi edristiew,
Are the photos that you are referring to still in Photo Stream? Remember, Photo Stream has limits which are outlined in this article:
iCloud: Photo Stream limits
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858
If the photos are still stored in Photo Stream, this resource may answer your questions about how to extract them (Mac or PC):
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
If the photos are no longer in Photo Stream, but are in your camera roll, you can import them to your computer:

how do i get deleted contacts back ? I just added icloud to two phones with the same apple id
You may have to restore to your latest sync. That's my only solution to your problem. If this didn't help, then I suggest you to visit the closest Apple store and get Genius for help.
