You can have different Apple IDs on different devices but this is probably not a good idea.

ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app?

ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app file not overwrite the previous one at itunes?

In my opinion it is best to use one Apple ID on your computer and iPad. Using multiple IDs causes confusion.
I also suggest that each person with their own iOS device have their own unique Apple ID. On the computer create different accounts for each user so that iTunes on each account can be associated with the correct Apple ID.

HT201272 I use my Apple id for my new phone And any of my ringtones purchased are in The history

I buy ringtones And now that im use my Apple id for my new phone thers no ringtone in my account

Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store. Do you have copies of them in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library or on a backup of your downloads that you can use to sync them to your phone ?

Do I give my 7 year old his own apple id for a new ipad mini or use mine

I just bought an ipad mini for my 7 year old. we have other ipad, computers, iphones etc under my apple Id. I don't want my son to access some of my information, however many of the games and apps I've purchased are for him on my devices so I wouldn't have to re purchase them if I use my id.
I guess I'm wondering how do I set his mini up and make it kid friendly? Is there an option to create a kids apple Id as it asks for what year you are born and he is too young

Its really up to you how you manage your kids content. Think about what you want him to access. Do you want him to access Messages? iCloud? Facetime? or only the iTunes and App Stores?
You can use your Apple ID for just the stores so he can access the purchased Apps for free but avoid setting up an Id for the other services if you don't want to. In the end its up to you whether you want to create an ID for him at this point. You certainly don't need to.
You can also use restrictions to setup some parental controls.

As to the age restrictions to create an apple id, you need to enter a valid date above 13 years of age to create one, but no one is stopping you from lying about his age. As long as you are sure about what you are doing and are prepared to handle the Apple Id access it should not matter what age you enter.

I can't download any app into my iPAD, but I have no problem downloading app into my iPhone. Using same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone.

HELP!
I couldn't download any app into my iPAD. Puzzled by this strange condition, I tried downloading the same chosen app into my iPhone. It worked!
I use the same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone. So why is it not working for my iPad? Previously, both devices were working fine!
I hope that somebody can help me solve this problem.

Do the apps show as installed on the Purchased tab in the App Store app ? If they show as installed, then have you got any restrictions set on Settings > General > Restrictions (e.g. Allowed Content > Apps) that might be hiding them ?
You could try closing the App Store app completely and then seeing if it downloads after you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e.not with the App Store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
You could also try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
And try logging out, and then back in, with your iTunes account : Settings > Store

Do I need a different apple id for each device? I have two iPads and an iPod but can only purchase things on the first one. When I go to verify the questions they say they are wrong.

Do I need a different apple ID for each device I have? I have two iPads and an iPod but I can only make purchases with the first one I purchased. It tells me the security questions are wrong but I know they are not because I wrote them down. I have also reset them and my password once. Please help if you can

You can not login into iTunes or the App Store using VPP credentials. You must purchase all apps/book/etc. from the VPP website. Then you can redeem the codes thru itunes/app store or import the codes thru apple configurator. Here is the url for the VPP website: https://volume.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/login?cc=us
(It will not affect any of the apps you already have but the id can only be used for VPP.)

Should we use same apple id for ipad and iphone

i had bought a ipad, should i use the same Apple ID as per my iphone? or create a new one. if i use the same ID, howabout my i cloud storage will be remain 5GB or 10GB

One possible use for separate Apple IDs is to have a separate ID associated with a particular device. This could be important with iMessage or Facetime, because if you associate all your devices with one ID, you will receive iMessages or Facetime calls on all your devices simultaneously. If you only want to do iMessage on your iPhone, for example, people could use the Apple ID associated with your iPhone, and the messages would not show up on your iPad. Obviously, this could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you like to work.
For me, I have a single Apple ID, mainly because it is easier to keep track of my purchases and downloads. I also prefer to receive messages and facetime calls on all my devices, so I can choose which one to respond from.

HT204053 Should I use one Apple id for two Apple products

I Bought iPad and already had iPhone ans used same I'd for both
want to know if in future I deleted apps from my iPhone will it be deleted from my iPad also or visa versa

Yes, yes, yes, always use ONLY ONE Apple ID. Multiple IDs will cause multiple problems.
Deleting from one device will not result in deletion from other devices.
It's best to manage your devices from iTunes on a computer. The iTunes will know which device is which but you might want to name them (in iTunes) for your own convenience. You can then decide which music, apps, movies, etc. belong on which device(s).

Use different Apple ID for an itunes gift card

A couple of years ago, I redeemed an itunes gift card, but I no longer use the email address that I redeemed it under. There's still a substantial amount of money left on the gift card, but it is possible to somehow re-redeem the amount that is left through another apple ID that I am currently using?

Kids getting IPhone. Should I use my Apple ID for the store and get them their own for iCloud?

Want them to have access to the music library we have as a family but yet their own iCloud account and ability to use "Find iPhone". Thanks

are there funds on the card? because iTunes isn't the one declining the card, its the bank/credit card company. also, is the billing address EXACTLY THE SAME on your bank statement as it is on your account

Can I use different Apple ID for mail an calendars on iPhone?

I've got a work account and a family account.
I can share calendars between accounts, but can I do that same with mail? Even on iPhone?

You add mail accounts to the mail app. On any device, you can decide which account(s) to add, even the two icloud accounts you seem to have.

Well I guess I used the same email for my new iPad mini from my iPod and if I try to buy something I put my right password then it asks me some security questions like what was your first car I don't even have a car! Please help?

Please please help me!

You can choose which questions to answer. The answer does not have to have any basis in fact - the critical thing is to REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID. If you decide to say your first car was a Bugattii Veyron, that is no problem, as long as you remember to answer Bugatti Veyron if the question is ever asked in the future.

I'm about to purchase Lion. My husband and I each have a desktop, iPad and iPhone. We currently use one Apple ID for iPad/phone purchases. Can we purchase 2 copies of Lion with one Apple ID?

I'm about to purchase Lion. My husband and I each have a desktop, iPad and iPhone. We currently use one Apple ID for iPad/phone purchases. Can we purchase 2 copies of Lion with one Apple ID or do we have to use different Apple IDs for the purchase? If we use the different Apple IDs can we still use the same ID for all of our purchases.

And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install. Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.

IPad Simultaneously use different Apple IDs?

When I set up my iPad I was given the option to use different Apple IDs for iTunes and the App Store. I opted to use the same ID. Now I have used the iPad for a bit, I'd like to see if it could replace my iPod. I've Googled around and I can see how to change Apple IDs on the iPad, but not set up two different IDs for use with the App Store and iTunes. Please can anyone enlighten me?

You can use one ID for iTunes/App Store and a different one for iMessage/Facetime. However, you can't use a different ID for the iTuens Store and the App Store as, bascially, they are the same store.

You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 5 days.

I only have 1 Apple ID. I turned off iTunes Match on my iMac, and now I cannot turn it back on. I get this error when I try to just turn iTunes Match back on, on the same computer, with the same Apple ID that I used orginially to subscribe to iTunes Match:
This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 5 days.
I checked for iTunes updates. None are available since I am using the latest.
I stopped/started iTunes. I rebooted the iMac.
NOTHING HELPS!!!!!!!!
I have a Mac Mini and I use the same Apple ID on iTunes there. I was able to turn iTunes Match off and back on with no trouble at all but my iMac refuses to allow me to turn on iTunes Match.
Now what do I do?

Unless you really only have one AppleID that you use with the iTunes Store there's really nothing you can do. In the case of having only one AppleID you should contact iTunes Store support, since that would be a server-side problem.
