There are two iPhones associated with my one Apple ID. Will I be able to "find my other phone?"

i have two iphones on my Apple iTunes account. I would like to use the App "Find My Friends" to locate each phone but it seems it works only from the Apple ID not the phone number.
In order to enjoy many of the features sometimes it seems Apple wants everyone to have their own account. Pay for their applications twice. etc. I think this is terrible.
Does anyone know how I can set up my iphones so I can use Find My Friend?
Thanks

Same issue...I think I found it though, but have not tested with my other devices yet. You do it with email addresses though, not phone numbers. You can associate additional email addresses with your primary apple id. For example, my email address is the primary apple id, but my wife and kids all have email addresses associated with this account. That is how we can FaceTime and iMessage each other. In the Find Friends app, touch "Me" at the bottom, then "Account" at the top. Once you are signed in with your primary apple id, you can select one of the other email addresses associated with your account by touching "Send As." Again, I won't be able to test it until I get home, but that is how it should work.

HT5622 I have two iPhones synced with the same Apple ID and so the contacts are being shared in both of them. Is there any way to revert this?? The reason is that if I delete some contact from one device then it automatically erases from the second one as

Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

Help. I was trying to delete a trial copy of Adobe XI and I think it deleted everything. Everytime I try to open a document in PDF it says there are no programs associated with it. We have a yearly subscription, how to I get it to download again??

Hi Maria ecp,
Since you have bought yearly subscription then please reinstall Acrobat and you would be able to open the pdfs again.

How can I see My Photo Stream from two Macs associated with the same Apple ID?

I have a MacBook Pro (my personal machine) and an iMac (our family computer).
The iPhoto library housing all of our family photos lives on the iMac.
The iPhoto library on my MacBook Pro is currently empty.
I have an account on both machines. I have associated the same Apple ID with both machines.
When I launch iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and attempt to turn on photo sharing (so that I can see My Photo Stream, as well as other shared streams), iPhoto informs me that "iCloud Photos for xxx@xxx is being used with another library named 'iPhoto Library'."
My iPhone, which is also affiliated with the same Apple ID, shows the streams just fine.
What can I do to remedy this situation? I'd like to be able to view my shared streams on my MacBook Pro, while leaving the actual massive photo library on the iMac.

I found out about this issue when I created a new library with some photo's I wanted to sync to my iCloud account. I found the following on the Fat Cat Software page and thought it might be helpful to others:
Using Photo Stream with multiple libraries
Starting in iPhoto 9.2, Apple introduced a new feature called Photo Stream, which lets you automatically transfer photos via their iCloud service between your iPhoto library and your other devices such as an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. This feature works when you have multiple iPhoto libraries set up, but there are a couple things to be aware of.
First, iPhoto will only allow Photo Stream to be active in one iPhoto library at any given time. If you've already enabled Photo Stream in one library, but then open a second library and enable Photo Stream there, this will cause Photo Stream to be turned off in the first library.
Any photos downloaded by Photo Stream are actually stored in an entirely separate location from any of your iPhoto libraries. This means that, even if you do switch Photo Stream from one library to another, you will not need to go through redownloading all the photos you already have in Photo Stream back from the iCloud servers. So, switching Photo Stream from one library to another is a relatively inexpensive operation, so you can do it as often as needed without it being much of a hassle.

I have two iPhones associated to the same Apple ID. Can I manage music

I now have two iPhones (4s & 5s) associated to the same Apple ID. I am
giving my wife the 4S.
We like different music & apps from one another. Can I manage music & apps independently on each device even though they have the same Apple ID Association?
Thanks

Yes, but I highly recommend each have your own, separate AppleID and your own computer login to manage your own data separately.

Why do i have two game center accounts on one apple id and how do i log into the other one

One day while i was bored i started up a game but all of my progress items and everything that i paid for was gone and it was the same in all of my other game center related apps. After a long chain of emails with the maker of the game he stopped being helpful but we figured out that i have two game center accounts but only one apple id. So how do i log into the account with all of my data?

Get a separate Apple ID for one of the phones. Or turn OFF iCloud contacts synching on the one you do not want contacts to synch.
Settings>>iCloud

Is there any way my wife and I can have our two iPhones sync with our one iPad via the iCloud?

Currently we are using her apple ID but I'm wondering if we can both sync.

What do you mean by "sync with our iPad" exactly? A litle more detail ???? What do you want to sync?
If you use the same ID on all devices you should be able to sync across all devices with iCloud - as long as you are using only one iCloud account on all three devices.

I had to delete the entry when I changed the password, and now I cannot find a way to save it. there are two entries affiliated with the website

The user name and password in question is for the website www,webkinz.com. One day there was a problem logging in so support changed my password. The problem occurs at webkinznewz where there is a frequent transfer of money and prizes from games to the main account. The newspaper has a differnt user name and password. Now when I try to transfer anything my newz name and password show up. Even when I change it manually it does not offer to save it

Very simple. Turn off Find my iDevice, then Tap Settings, General, Erase, Erase all content and settings.

You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up for camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?

What do you mean by storage quota, does that mean i could be photo streaming about 1gb of photos and it does not get taken away from my free 5bg.

Hi...
Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts
Control-F4
Move focus to the active (or next) window
Shift-Control-F4
Move focus to the previously active window
By the way... since you are new to Mac, click a clear space on your Desktop. You should see "Finder" top left corner of the screen in the menu bar.
Click Help then click Help Center
As an example type in keyboard shortcuts
You can use the Help menu for almost any application on your Mac.
