Single apple-id two phones need to seperate!

Hi folks,
I bought my wife an iPhone 3 some years ago, and set that phone up for her by creating an apple-id aligned with me. Just recently, I bought myself an iPhone4S, and used teh same ID to set up my phone. Now, when I get an iMessage, she also gets it on her phone, and when she downloads an app, I get it on my phone. How do I go about segreating our phones now? She now has an apple-id that is an alternate email address to my apple id.
How can I untangle this weave?
Thanks!

sure go to settings- icloud- scroll to bottom- delete account-
it will not effect the other device or her account  at all
Peace, Clyde

  • 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 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 = 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?

  • Apple account signed into two phones, need to remove one.

    Tried searching for this scenario but didnt find anything exactly like my situation.
    My wife got a new iphone and gave me her old one so i could play games (I have my Apple ID/ iTunes account). The old phone I'm using doesnt function as a phone anymore (no cell service) and I just use it on Wifi to download and play app.
    The issue is her apple iD is still signed into the iCloud and anytime she adds a new contact on her phone it also prompts the old phone to update.
    My fear in turning off the cloud is that this will impact not only the old phone but her new phone as I'd be making a change to her overall Apple account.
    My goal is I want to completely remove my wifes content from the old phone (either by disconnecting her account or by resetting the phone) and I want to be confident that by me doing so, I will not accidently impact her account or anything on her new phone.
    Can anyone confirm the best course of action and /or any risks in doing so?

    sure go to settings- icloud- scroll to bottom- delete account-
    it will not effect the other device or her account  at all

  • APPLE SAID MY PHONE NEEDED A SETTING UPDATE DID THIS TODAY AND NOW i'VE LOST INTERNET CONNECTION WITH CARIER WHAT DO i DO TO FIX ?

    This morning woke up and my ipone 4 said it needed a setting update and to plug the mains cable in as it would use a lot of power to do the update ? anyway it updated and thought nothing of it... came to use safari in afternoon and it come up with "you are not subscirbed to a cellular data service" my phone is on contract my hubbys phone has done the same thing ... we are both on contract but with different suppliers/carriers..  so it has to be a Apple problem ? whats the fix please ??

    If you are unable to get 3g/4g service than that is an issue with your phone carrier not apple problem, they don't do those service.  have you contacted your phone carrier?  Have you check in settings to see if your cellular data is turned on?

  • 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:

  • HT1688 I need a new battery for my AT&T Apple I 5 phone , I need to make appt for tonite at Destiny Syracuse for 6:30 and I cannot download safari on my computer to make a reservation.

    I need a new battery for my AT&T Carrier, Apple I 5 phone, need to come in 6:30 tonite.  Thanks.  My cell phone dead. SO please write me back to confirm.

    No, maybe you should get one but the reset of us can figure out how to use the internet and complex things like Google.
    What makes you think you need a new battery anyway? It should not be bad on an iPhone 5 and besides which Apple uses batteries from the same manufacturer that other makers do.
    And stop shouting at us you are acting like a spoiled child.

  • Hi, If I play a single episode of a full season on Apple TV / I-Phone / I-Pad, the last played adds the date to all episodes in that season, is it a setting I need to reset

    Hi, If I play a single episode of a full season on Apple TV / I-Phone / I-Pad, the last played adds the date to all episodes in that season, is it a setting I need to reset / update - thanks Paul

    Does TV Shows show as a category under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your Mac's iTunes ? If it does, and that series is still in your country's store, then it should show there and you can download it from there (click the cloud icons) onto your Mac's iTunes library - you can then sync the episodes to your phone.

  • I have a profile that has 2 email accounts in it - I need to seperate them into two distinct profiles, how can I do this?

    I had a single laptop and several email accounts - a personal gmail account, a work gmail account (freelance writing) and a non-gmail account for my day-job.
    Until recently, my two gmail accounts were under a single profile and the job email in another.
    A month ago, I purchased a new computer so now I have a computer at home and at work and need to set up my emails at home.
    When taking a backup from thunderbird on my existing/old computer, it has it all saved as one profile - BUT I need to seperate them at home into seperate profiles.
    A friend suggested 1) putting it back as it is 2) then renaming the profile folder and 3) deleting the second account, 4) putting back the whole original backup folder so it creates a second profile and then 5) deleting the other email from this new profile, thus leaving two profiles.
    However, this sounded strange to me - possible, but strange - so I've elected to ask for help here before I try anything.
    Any advice in this regard is greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Basically that's the way to go, with some modifications:
    Instead of<br>
    ''1) putting it back as it is 2) then renaming the profile folder''
    follow these instructions:<br>
    Create a new profile and copy the old one over it.

    The same goes for<br>
    ''4) putting back the whole original backup folder so it creates a second profile''
    Make sure to create backups of your profiles.

  • HT4436 How do I set up separate iCloud's and apple ids for two phones on one account?

    I just got a new iPhone and when they transferred my contacts at the store they also replaced my husbands contacts on his phone! Major mess...how do I get the two phones on separate clouds??

    To fix this, you need to migrate your data to a separate iCloud account.  Do not delete any data from either phone until this is done or it will also be deleted from iCloud and the other phone, and will be lost.
    When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account.  To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). 
    Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in your photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing Notes with iCloud (Settings>iCloud>Notes>On), you will also need to email these to yourself in order to keep them.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  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 (i.e., deleting your husband's data from your account, and vice versa).

  • Can i use my apple id on two phones?

    Can i use my apple id on two phones?

    Yes, but be aware that you may end up getting duplicates of all Cloud synced information on both phones. Either you disable iCloud altogether or give each phone a separate Apple ID and computer user account.
    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • Apple ID, same ID on two phones...

    Hi, I have a new iphone which is my primary phone, and I use my old iphone for streaming movies. They both have the same Apple ID. Can I delete the Apple ID off my old phone? But keep it on the new one?
    One of the problems is when I use Find My Phone, (activating a sound if phone missplaced) the sound is transmitted to my old phone, not my new phone!
    Many thanks

    You can easily have multiple devices on an AppleID. I have three: two phones and an iPad. They show up separately in Find My iPhone, so there's really no confusion there. Don't you see them separately? You should be able to ping the specific one that you want to ping.
