Sharing between devices

How do I turn off sharing between all of my Apple devices? I have two separate cell phone numbers that are receiving texts and phone calls on both devices at the same time. These communications are even coming in to my iPads, as well, which I don't want. All four devices are under one Apple id.
Very confusing when we receive a call and four devices ring. Especially when it's a person we both know.
Thanks for your help!

FFigured it out. Thanks!

Does he have his own computer to sync with. Is it separate from yours?
Then you could use Home Sharing to make sure both lots of content are the same on both machines.
He will have to authorise his machine with your Apple ID for any purchased music to be played
Store > Authorise this computer
Then set up Home Sharing

When it is up and running you can import from 1 library to the other and then your son can sync whatever he wants from his own iTunes

Gmail shared between devices won't receive on iPad

Gmail account will send but not receive messages on iPad

I did the following:
Went into Settings on the iPad, under Video changed my Home Sharing password (it was wrong for some reason).
Went into the Music app. On the More menu (in the lower right), hit Shared. Music was set to My iPad, changed it to my shared library.
Went back into the Video app. The list of videos refreshed, and I can play it now.
Good luck!

App Sharing between devices

I have an iphone 4 and am about to buy the new ipad. Will I be able to download all of the Apps I have purchased already to the ipad or are they different in some way?

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319 :
To call someone using FaceTime, you need their phone number or email address. Which one you use is determined by the device you are calling:
When calling someone using an iPhone 4 or later: Try the phone number of the person you are calling first. If the person has registered an email with FaceTime, you can use that as well.
When calling someone using an iPad 2 or later, iPod touch (4th generation), or FaceTime for Mac: Use the email address designated for FaceTime of the person you are calling.
On iPad, iPod touch, and FaceTime for Mac, you need to add a person as a contact using the FaceTime or Contacts app before you can call them.

Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID. If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud, but they are not sharing the information between devices ie if I purchase an app on one it does not transfer to the other although the backup is successful via iCloud.

I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud but the data is not being shared between the devices. When I backup it appears to be working as there are no error messages but the data is not shared between each. Any help would be great as this is very frustrating.

Backing up to icloud is not the same as syncing data between devices. Go to
Settings>Store. Turn on the automatic downloads that you want on that screen.
Settings>iCloud. Turn on the features you want to sync between devices.

I have multiple devices and don't want everything shared between them. How do I fix that?

I have and iphone and three ipods in my home. They are all connected to my apple id and everything ends up being shared between them. Can I make seperate accounts for each of them, but have them all attached to my credit card? Thanks for any help!!!

If you have a Mac (don't know about Windows), you can disable automatic syncing in iTunes > Preferences > Devices:
That way, you can manually do it by plugging in the device and launching iTunes.

Can an Apple ID be shared between 2 devices and each be private?

Can an Apple ID be shared between 2 devices and each be private?

Of course. To do it, open iTunes holding the Option (Alt) key, so you will see an option to create a iTunes library. Note that, after doing that, you will have two iTunes libraries in the same account, so you can choose the one you want to start iTunes opening it while holding the Option key

We have family sharing set up between all the family idevices. Can we share either Notes or a Pages document between devices?

We have family sharing set up between all the family I devices. We want to collaborate on a document. Can we share either Notes or a Pages document between devices? We are all using iPad 2 or later and/or iPod touch or iPhone 5

The "Sharing" part of Family Sharing refers mainly to purchased content. iCloud synced content such as Notes and contacts as well as documents is not included. While I do not know of anyway to share notes, iWorks documents can be shared directly from the app via an iCloud link.

iTunes content can be commingled in the iTunes library on a computer and synced to iOS devices. The computer must be authorized to use the content from the respective Apple IDs in the iTunes Store menu.

App sharing problem between devices.

I have problems with icloud app sharing between Iphone and Ipad, everything is set up correctly but when I download an app on my iphone the app doesnt download and install on the ipad automatically.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Ensure that both devices are logged into the same account on the app store, go to settings > store and make sure automatic downloads are enabled for apps.

HT202213 Sharing between my mobile devices

Can I share e-books between my mobile devices without a home computer?

Hello Firemanhammer,
It sounds like you are trying to sync your iBooks between your iOS devices, and you can achieve this by signing in with your Apple ID:
If you buy a book on your Mac, it’s automatically available on all of your iOS devices with iOS 6 or later. The same is true if you purchase a book from your iOS device. iOS 7 even prompts you if you already have purchased content. You can even synchronize your bookmarks, notes, and collections across your devices.
iBooks will prompt you to sign in, but you can also sign in at Settings>iTunes & App Store. A Mac computer is able to sync the iBooks as well, but it's not necessary to sync the iBooks between your iOS devices.
If you don't see all of your purchased items in iBooks, make sure you "Show All Purchases" is turned on:
To see all your purchased books on your iOS device, choose Settings > Books > Show All Purchases.
If you start reading a book on one device, you can pick up right where you left off on another device. Collections, highlights, notes and bookmarks sync across all your devices. Use these settings to synchronize these features:
On your iOS device, open Settings > iBooks. Then, select the options to "Sync Bookmarks" and "Sync Collections".
You can find the full article below. It includes the steps for a Mac computer, but you can just focus on the iOS instructions:

How can I use home sharing between our iphones (create playlists from both accounts at once)

How can I use home sharing between our iphones, so that we can create playlists with songs from both of our libraries? We share a Macbook Pro (separate accounts) and each have the new iphone, but when I have my iphone and try to create a new playlist, I can only grab songs from one account. Is there a way to create a playlist using both accounts since we are sharing?
Does it have to be created within iTunes first on our Mac?

The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
The longer answer: Think of it like this...
You download some music in iTunes. With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network. But the data itself is on your computer. If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device. Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple).
When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"
