Texting with several devices on same apple id

I have an iphone and an Ipad and my kids both have Ipods.  They are all under my apple id.  Now that they have texting available all their text messages show they are from my name. Is there a way to fix that?

You would have to change the name in your Apple ID, you can make them their own accounts at the link below.

  • Problems with multiple devices using same apple ID

    I have a Macbook, iPad and iPhone. After doing an IOS update now my devices keep saying I cannot use that same appleid because it's already taken. I cannot find away around this and want to know experience of others

    That warning occurs only if you try to create a new Apple ID using an email address already in use. An existing Apple ID can be used with mutiple devices. 
    What exactly did you do when you got that message?

  • How to use FaceTime with 2 devices on same apple id

    My husband and I share an apple ID account, and each of us has an IPad and we want to be able to FaceTime each other, but both devices see us as the same person.  Is there a way to separate our devices within the same account? 

    You each need your own Apple ID. It's the same as trying to call a phone with the same number. You can't.
    I suppose you use the same Apple ID to share apps. You can still do that. Just create a new Apple ID for the second user and log into your device using that ID for FaceTime and Messages only. In Settings > iTunes and App Store, use the shared Apple ID.

  • Cannot facetime or message with three devices on same Apple ID.

    I have the I phone.  My son has a I pod touch.  We just purchased a I pod touch for my wife.  My son and I are using the same ID and have not experienced any trouble with face time or sending messages.  Now that my wife is on our account the messages go to both I pods from my phone and the face time does not work.  Do we need to have separate accounts, if so how do we share the app's that we have purchased?

    Each iPod should have its own unique email address that is associated with the same Apple ID you are already using. On each device head to Settings -> FaceTime and click Add Another Email.
    See this article for more assistance.

  • Can you share specific apps with other devices under same Apple ID?  ...or do you need to enable he sharing of all apps that have been downloaded under that ID?

    My family has multiple devices under one apple ID.  I want to share only certain apps with certain family members.  Is it possible to limit what apps are shared with which devices or do I need to share all of the apps that I download for personal use?

    Thanks.  I turned off the automatic downloads on the new devices (minis), but when I go into the app store I don't see any of the apps I have bought (for my original iPad) under "purchased".  I was thinking that this was the logical place to find those apps that I want to download to the new devices.  What am aI missing?

  • I have several devices under my apple id. If somebody contacts me all the other devices are ringing. How can I get rid of phone numbers in face time

    Hi, i updated to ios 8
    I have several devices under my apple id account. 2 iPhones (me and my wife ). 2 iPads also me and my wife and my iMac
    The problem is that if somebody calls me for example for face time all the other devices are also ringing, because in face time my phone number is showing and also my wife's phone number. How can I get rid of my phone number on her iphone and ipad and vice versa

    The problem is that I can not  verify her id on message and on Facetime
    has that to do that the ipad has no tel number of course?? Should I leave my id number on her iPad ??
    That isn't due to not having a phone number on her iPad.  You can use FaceTime with any iPad using an email address as the "phone number".  And if her iPad isn't a first generation iPad, if she uses the same Apple ID for FaceTime on both her iPhone and iPad, her iPhone number can be used as well (see iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage).
    If her iPad is not verifying her Apple ID for FaceTime it's probably because the Apple servers are busy.  Keep trying and it should verify.  If you continue to have problems with this, look through the troubleshooting steps here: iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation.

  • We have multiple users, each with multiple devices, on 1 apple id - as we want to share music and ibooks etc.  We want the children to have access to the store, but with a financial limit. How do we do this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That's simply not possible I'm afraid. You'd need to give them their own account and allowance or make it so you are required to be there to input the password when they wish to make a purchase.

  • Why can't my apple tv 2 see my macbook itunes libraries with home sharing enabled on both devices?  Same Apple id.

    I cannot see my macbook pro snow leopard 10.6.8 itunes libraries on my apple tv 2.  i have disabled and re-enabled home sharing on both devices using the same Apple ID.  I used to be able to see it but not anymore.  There has been a router upgrade to Linksys E2000 but i haven't been able to find anything that would inhibit home sharing.

    Switched back to the old D-Link and all is available.  Looking for solutions from Linksys.

  • 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

  • Multiple iOS devices on same apple id

    I have a an iPad and two iPhones on the same apple ID. Unfortunately iMessage and face time show I am taking with myself. Is there a way to separate the communication to sub accounts or by device?  I would like to keep control of the apple ids as a child is involved.
    Perhaps there is a recommended way of setting up multiple devices for a family, maybe a KB article?
    Thank you.
