HT204053 how do i set up different devices on the same apple Id without merging the contacts from the separate phones

can i set up multiple iphones on the cloud without merging all contacts?

Not if they are all syncing contacts with the shared account. You could allow them to merge, then create separate groups for each person's contacts on icloud.com. Then each person can adjust their settings to only show the group that their contacts belong to and hide the rest.
Another option is to keep the devices on the same shared primary account, and add different secondary account to each person's devices by going to Setings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter a separate ID. Then each person can turn on contacts syncing in their secondary account and leave contacts syncing turned off in the shared primary account (in Settings>iCloud).

What is the best way to set up multiple devices in the same household?

Our family has a bunch of devices (phones,pads,pods) all set up under the same appleID. The idea was to be able to share iTunes content among devices. The problem is that there is personalized data merging between devices (address book, apps, etc). Is there a way to set up multiple devices under the same account while maintaining their own identity so that Each user can have their own apps, addresses, etc without having to sift through everyone else's stuff?

Continue to share your iTunes ID, but use different IDs for other services such as FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud. (When you share the same iCloud account across multiple devices, any synced data is merged and the merged list appears on all devices sharing the account.)
To change the ID For:
iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
iCloud, you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On [iDevice]. 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 in each account (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

Find my Friends : Support for multiple users under the same Apple ID?

Can multiple users under the same Apple ID use the app to find each other? My daughter uses my Apple ID with her iPod touch which allows me to monitor her purchases but it seems that only one device under an ID can use the app at a time. If that is the case then it is a major disadvantage and I will need to go back to using latitude (or Find My iPhone which also allows me to see where all of my devices are at the same time)

HT2693 How to download pictures from multiple iPhones with the same Apple ID?

I have multiple iPhones (e.g. iPhone 4S, iPhone 5) registered under the same Apple ID however i only manage to download the pictures in my iPhone 5 via iCloud.
How do I retrieve the remaining photos that was uploaded to iCloud previously from my older iPhones with the same Apple ID?
Pls help!!!

Hi edristiew,
Are the photos that you are referring to still in Photo Stream? Remember, Photo Stream has limits which are outlined in this article:
iCloud: Photo Stream limits
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858
If the photos are still stored in Photo Stream, this resource may answer your questions about how to extract them (Mac or PC):
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
If the photos are no longer in Photo Stream, but are in your camera roll, you can import them to your computer:

Cheers!

Setting up multiple devices on the same account

In my house, we have 2 iPhones, 2 iPods, and an iPad mini. Seems like everytime we add a device, they are registering under the same account. How do I correct that problem without restoring each device?

Wow that's really harsh. Both my wife and daughter have disabilities and the idea of having one ID is to allow me to be able to track them quickly in times of emergency through 'find my iphone'. I did not realise this was 'creating a mess'. I thought support communities were intended to, you know, support people with genuine questions like mine not to rush to criticism. Unfortunately both answers to my question have been negative.
I am not being harsh, the truth is you are really creating problems for yourself e.g. calendars, contacts, etc. are all mixed up.
Support Communities are there to show you how to use the devices as intended, the "criticism" is about how you use the devices and not about you as a person. We are trying to help if you can listen.
You can use Find My Friends instead of Find My iPhone for your purpose.

HT204053 If I've signed up multiple devices on the same apple ID how can i change them into different individual ID's?

Hello, I have multiple devices that i've used the same apple ID for. I was curious to know if I can change each of them into something different?

You can migrate a device to a new account with a new ID. To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

Question about multiple devices on the same Apple ID

I am currently an iPhone 4S user and have one Apple ID.
I intend to buy the new iPad soon and share the same Apple ID so that I do not need to keep switching accounts. However I have a question.
If I use both devices for iMessage, and if a friend of mine sends me an iMessage, will it appear on both devices? Or just the iPhone/iPad alone?
Also if I backup the data using my iTunes account to the new iPad, will I still use the same iCloud (5GB) or will I be given double (additional 5 on the tablet)?
Thanks.

You could do as my wife and I do. We share an Apple ID for iTunes (we have 3 IDs. One for her, one for me, and one for purchases. You can do this with 2. One for you and purchases, one for your brother). Log into everything on your iPhone with your Apple ID. Log into only iTunes/App Store/iBook Store on the iPad with your Apple ID. If you want your brother to have his own iMesage ID, you can use that separately of say an iCloud login (log in to your iCloud account, but turn everything off except find my device. Then lock it with restrictions by turning off changes to location services and accounts).
iPhone: ID 1 logged into iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, iTunes/App Store/iBookStore
iPad: ID 1 logged into iCloud (find my device only), iTunes/App Store/iBookStore
ID 2 logged into iMessage, FaceTime, Mail/Contacts/Calendars

Change Apple ID on one device only. Currently have multiple devices sharing the same apple id.

Hi
I currently have three devices sharing one Apple ID. Ipad (Work) Iphone (Wife) & Ipod Touch (Son)
I have purchased an iPhone for Christmas and want to migrate the ipod to a new Apple ID. I haven't created the an ID for the phone yet but just wondered what the easiest solution would be? Would it be a case of creating a new ID on the phone, then signing into the iPod with this ID. I understand whatever has been downloaded to the Ipod will no longer be available, but wondered if there were any solutions to this problem.

You can have media from more than one account on an iOS device. Note that
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
I would set up the iPhone by:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
Then on the iPod yocan either erase it and set it with the new ID or:
Use the new ID on iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases if you want to

Is it possible to have multiple accounts under the same apple id

I just bought an ipod touch primarily for my daughter to use, and would like to communicate from my ipad to the ipod touch using facetime. However, both are under my apple id and apple account. Is there a way I can talk from one device to the other - if they are both owned by me but being used at different locations? Additionally I would like to have a different ID for my MAC if possible, so I can communicate by facetime with people at home if I am not there.
Any suggestions?

Yes, follow the instructions here:
