Setting up multiple devices on one apple id

I've purchased a new Ipad with the intent of setting it up under my pre-existing apple id.  The apple id already has 2 other Ipads on it (this will be 3).  I set everything up today and went to download an app and was met with the 'Your Apple ID has been disabled.' notification.  I did some research and saw that I should reset my ID.  I'd prefer not to do that b/c then I would have to go and change all the device passwords.  I am able to log onto itunes, etc. Just not able to download apps.

Apple disabled your Apple ID because of many attempts to access your account unsuccessfully.  I don't think there is a way to get around this without resetting your password.  I know it frustrating and causes more work but in the end you will be safer if you go ahead and reset your password.

  • Multiple devices on one apple ID

    I have 3 devices on my apple ID. 2 of the devices are mine and the ipad is my sisters. I want to get the ipad onto a different new apple ID . 1) how do I do that? 2) If I do, will It delete all my stuff of the ipad?

    You can setup as new and use a new Apple ID but all purchased apps are tied to the old Apple ID and is not transferable to the new ID.
    Setting up as new will delete all the stuff on your iPad.

  • Setting up iCloud After iOS 6 for multiple devices and one Apple ID

    We have a shared Apple ID for our iTunes Store purchases.  We share a Mac, and we share an iPad.  Each of us has a separate iPhone. 
    How should we set up iCloud to enable us to download pics that we take with our iPhone automatically to iPhoto on our shared Mac?
    How can we maximize the 5GB space in iCloud?
    How can we share calendars if needed so that if I edit an item on my iPhone, it automatically updates it on our Mac and my husband's iPhone?
    I want to be able to leverage "Find iPhone" but I guess you can only have one device set to one iCloud account, correct?  So if I lose my iPhone, I don't want all of our devices starting to ping at the same time (since the only one I'm trying to find is mine).
    Separately, after upgrading to iOS 6, I lost my contacts, and my music.  All my text message contacts in current conversations, were changed from the Contact Name to Phone numbers.  And all the phone numbers now have a 1 ahead of them, despite the fact that I did not set it up originally like that.
    HELP!

Now she has a i pad and wants to be able to text from it using her cell, as it stand now if she sends a text it shows up as coming from my cell? how do i fix that?

    You need to set up two user accounts on the mac.  System Preferences>Users & Groups.  Then each user can set up apple IDs for itunes and icloud any way they want.

  • Using Passbook on multiple devices with one Apple ID?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone 4S, and we each have an iPod Touch. We use a single Apple ID on all devices (mine). I'm the only one that's really even using Passbook, but Passbook alerts are popping up on all four devices. When I use my Starbucks card, all 4 devices receive the alert. When I use my AMEX, all four devices are alerted. I want to either disable Passbook on three of the four devices, or figure out how to tie Passbook on those devices to a secondary Apple ID.

    If you want to share an apple id, but not passbook, you can turn off syncing on her device under settings > iCloud > passbook.

  • FaceTime with Multiple Devices and one Apple ID

    What happens with FaceTime when I use the same Apple ID for my IPad and my IPhone 5?  What do I need to do to manage which device receives FaceTime messages?

    Create Apple IDs for everyone individually and use that in Settings > Facetime, Settings > Messages, Settings > Game Center but keep the Apple ID used for app and content purchases in Settings > iTunes and App Stores

  • Can I have multiple devices on one iCloud account

    can I have multiple devices on one iCloud account? Like a iPad and Mac Book Pro
    If so how can I do this?

    Sure. That is what iCloud is meant for, so you can keep your devices synced.
    When you set up iCloud on the devices, use the same Apple ID on all devices, then the iCloud account will be the same.

  • How can I have multiple users on one apple id?

    How can I have multiple users on one apple ID?
    ie: I have my apple ID with my own credit, how can I set up credit for my son under the same apple ID, so that he can still access the same apps I've already downloaded and paid for?

    I've been trying to figure out a clean way to do this too. I think you may need more than one Apple ID – one that is shared and used to purchase "sharable" items and then "individual" Apple IDs for you and your son. That's the idea that I'm pursuing for the moment.
    It seems that there must be a way to do this, App Store purchases for the Mac are licensed across multiple machines. iPhone app purchases have "all your devices" licensing. Makes me think that Apple has a process in mind for sharing an account (or associating a device with multiple accounts).
    Other things I've learned:
    - Apparently you can't merge Apple ID accounts. I asked about this once at an Apple Store and was told that there was no way to do it.
    - If you share an Apple ID the Messages app behaves in a somewhat surprising manner. It must use your Apple ID to decide where messages should be sent because all users get all messages. This can make it very hard to organize a surprise party :-)

  • What is the best way to set up multiple devices in the same household?

    Our family has a bunch of devices (phones,pads,pods) all set up under the same appleID.  The idea was to be able to share iTunes content among devices.  The problem is that there is personalized data merging between devices (address book, apps, etc).  Is there a way to set up multiple devices under the same account while maintaining their own identity so that Each user can have their own apps, addresses, etc without having to sift through everyone else's stuff?

    Continue to share your iTunes ID, but use different IDs for other services such as FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud.  (When you share the same iCloud account across multiple devices, any synced data is merged and the merged list appears on all devices sharing the account.)
    To change the ID For:
    iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
    FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    iCloud, you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.  Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them.  To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On [iDevice].  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.  Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want in each account (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

  • I have multiple devices and one itunes account can they have separate icoulds?

    I have multiple devices on one itunes acccount, can they have separate icoulds?

    Settings > iCloud > Sign in with the desired Apple ID.
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Sign in with the desired Apple ID.
    The two above can be different Apple IDs, mine are.

  • Can you have multiple users on one apple Id and utilize iCloud?

    My family shares an apple Id and we each have multiple Apple devices. When we use iCloud we "cross pollinate" each others devices with contacts, calendar events, etc.  is it possible to manage multiple users on one apple Id with iCloud activated or are separate ID's required?

    iCloud isn't designed as a multi-user service. Either you all have the same ID, and all your data is available to everyone, or you all have separate IDs and keep your data separate. You can share calendars, so that for example you could all have your own calendars but have one which is common to everyone:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479
    If you want to share contacts you will have to do it manually. If you want to do file transfer you will have to find a third-party alternative.
