Two devices with same Apple ID

Hi there,
Unfortunately we are not a very technical fami;y and by mistake, or lack of knowledge I set up my son's ipnone using my husbands Apple ID. I now realise that I have to create a seperate I.D. for my son but how do I delete or disconnect him from my husbands Apple I.D. account without erasing all of my husbands stored data?
Thanks

Hi,
On your son's iPhone you just need to remove the Apple ID in the places the iPhone is using it.
Let's start with the iPhone  > Settings > iMessages.
Start with de-selecting the Apple ID as one of the Send and Receive options
Then remove the Apple ID itself.
Place the iPhone in in Airplane Mode for a few Minutes. This breaks contacts with at least the iMessages server in this case.
Now turn to Settings > iCloud.
Again turn off all the settings that it may be syncing with.
then remove the Apple ID here.
You may have to check Settings Mail separately to make sure the email is not still listed for that app.
Again check the iTunes app, FaceTime  and the Game Center at least.
Then you can Add the new Apple ID that you or your son gets.
You will be extracting one items from the Sync processes fro the most part and the "registrations" for  FaceTime and the iMessages part of the Messages app.
It will not effect the data on your husband's Mac or any info he has in iCloud On line.

    Can music be shared between two devices with different apple IDs?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    iTunes content can be commingled in the iTunes library on a computer and synced to iOS devices. The computer must be authorized to use the content from the respective Apple IDs in the iTunes Store menu.

  • IOS 8 double tap allows other device with same Apple login to see who other is messaging

    I have two iPhones with the same AppleID account.  The iMessaging for each device is set to only send or receive message and FaceTime from the phone number for each device to keep them separate.  If device A is in a text message and the home button on device B is double tapped a notification will be visible to show device A is in a text message.  Device B can then tap this notification and the person being text in Device A becomes available and a new message to that person is then opened.  Not acceptable.  I have tried to unlink the two devices in any way I now how.  No luck.  The screenshot below is what Device B sees if Device A is composing a message.

    That's just the way it works, since you're using the same Apple ID on both. If you have a problem with that, go to http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • HT4910 Have two phones with same apple id as I got one for my hubbie .he tried to back up his numbers in I cloud . Our contacts have now merged and neither can delete from our phone without it coming off the other . Any ideas how we can stop this

    Have two iPhones with the same id as I got hubbie one in week and when I got it they asked for email address so I gave the one we use, so when my husband started phone up he just put my password in. When he tried to back his numbers on iCloud they all appeared on my phone and now I can't delete his numbers without them deleting on his phone as well . Any help would be appreciated.

    You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (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 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. 
    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, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

  • Facetime on multiple devices with same Apple ID?

    Hi...we have an iPad 1, iPhone 4S, iPod touch from 2010 and new iPod Touch yesterday.
    I have not set up the new iPod Touch yet...but all the other devices are using the same Apple ID so I can buy apps and allow all my devices to get the apps installed for free.  Great.
    How can I set up my new iPod Touch to use the same Apple ID and also do Facetime?  If I use the same Apple ID I would think that my other devices would start to ring when I try to Facetime.  No?
    If you know how to do this, can you please reply and give exact steps?
    Thanks so much in advance.
    -Eric

    @dutra - Your suggestion worked like a charm. I have two options setup under my daughter's name in Facetime: Touch and iPAd. All I need to do is choose which I want to call. Easy-peasy.
    @jeffreyfromorillia - This advice may be too late... But, register each device using your ID, as you should. Once this is complete do the following:
    1 - Go to SETTINGS on device A
    2 - Choose FACETIME
          - here you'll see your ID in the account field -- ignore it/leave it there.
         - below you'll see the email field, enter your daughter's email addy (you don't have to worry about the "+XXX"      unless she has more than once device because it applies only to the multiple device scenario)
         - IF you have used your email addy in the email field, click on Add Another Email and enter daughter's addy      here, then go back and choose your email addy and click remove
    You are good to go. Repeat same steps for your stepdaughter's device.
    If either girl has multiple devices you want to Facetime, follow steps 1 and 2, and in the email field click on Add Another Email and enter - [email protected] - then go back and delete orignal email entered. Do same for second device - [email protected], remembering to delete orginal email here, too.
    On your device go to Facetime and edit contact - it prolly shows HOME / WORK / OTHER, click on it and choose CUSTOM, name it iPod, then enter the NEW email "[email protected]" and do same for second device, customizing the field to read iPad, or whatever you choose... Now you should have two options to choose from for contacting Girl 1. Repeat for Girl 2.
    Hope this works for you, it worked out splendidly for me.
    Cheers.

  • Two iPhones with same Apple ID and want two separate icloud accounts.

    I have two iPhones both of which are set up with the same Apple ID. How can I set up separate icloud accounts for each phone?  My phone has same email for Apple ID and icloud account. I wants wife's phone to have icloud set up with her own email account.  Right now her phone keeps automatically reverting to my email address for icloud.

    To migrate to a separate account she will have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the current account to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted (if she's running iOS 7), choose Keep on My iPhone (to keep a copy of the iCloud data on her phone), then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload the data to the account.  (Deleting the account only deletes it from her phone, not from iCloud.  This won't effect your phone.)
    Once she's on a separate account, you can each sign into your account on icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • Trouble using facetime on another device with same apple id

    Hi
    I am having trouble using facetime with my wife.  I have an iPad 2 and she has an IPhone 4S.  When we try to facetime, we are able to connect for a few seconds and then it drops off.  We are then unable to reconnect.  We both have the same apple Id and e-mail address although I am trying to contact her via her mobile number.  Any suggestions would be grateful received.

  • Can 2 ios devices with same apple id not share stuff?

    Hi folks,
    A bit of a long story but we've ended up with my wife's iphone and my son's ipad using the same apple id.
    any app i buy for my son pops up on my wife's phone.
    Can I turn off sharing? I'd like the calendar and other stuff to be seperate too.
    Neither of them need any sharing to other devices either.
    Cheers

    Use a different Apple ID for each person.  On each device, under Settings in the following areas, make sure that each device is only using the Apple ID assigned to that person:
    iCloud (If you share an Apple ID here, your Contacts, Calendars, Reminders and PhotoStream photos will be shared, as well as using up the same free 5G of backup space.  And it's 5GB per Apple ID, not per device)
    Messages (If you share an Apple ID here, you'll receive each others iMessages)
    FaceTime (If you share an Apple ID here, you'll receive each others FaceTime calls)
    GameCenter (If you share an Apple ID here, then certain games/apps will share the same progress)
    iTunes & App Store (If you share an Apple ID here, you'll have access to the same iTunes & App store purchases.  This is the one place where it's not really a problem, since many families don't want to have to make multiple purchases of the same iTunes music or paid apps.  And you can prevent the new content from automatically downloading to other devices by disabling that feature in Settings > iTunes & App Store.)

  • Can I Facetime between 2 devices with same Apple ID?

    If I get an iPad 2 to take with me on the road, can I Facetime with my family (who will be at home on the iMac), even though both devices will be set up with the same Apple ID?

    Try it and find out.

  • Two iPhones with same Apple id

    What a mess. My wife and I have a single Apple ID that we use for a Mac, two iPhones and two iPads. With the latest IOS update our iMessaging has gone haywire. We both receive all messages and so does the Mac and iPads. I attempted to solve the problem by establishing a separate Apple ID for my wife's iPhone. No luck. How do I fix this?

    You both need, & should use different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime. You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes content.
    Your wife needs an Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime & iCloud.
    The Apple ID needs to be a verified email address. Once you have an email address, that can be verified, go here & create the ID:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
    Then on her phone, turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you both share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

  • Can you use FaceTime using two iPads with same apple id

    Have two iPads for wife and I. Both use same apple ID account. Can you use FaceTime between them?

    Heres what you do. got to settings>facetime>add an email and than add another email (note: cannot be the same email that you use on your apple ID) A verifaction email will be sent. Go to your email account and verify the email by clicking on the link. Now using the other ipad, make a facetime call to the email you just verified and you can now facetime between the two!
    One more side note. Make sure that only the email you just verified has a check mark on it. The other ipad shoud have a check mark next to the orginal apple ID email.

  • How to sync two devices with single Apple ID?

    I would like to use the same Apple ID for both devices. During syncing in computer ITunes, is it possible to avoid the applications in both devices share to each others?

    What syncs to any given device from a single iTunes library depend on how you have that device's profile set up in iTunes. When you connect the device to iTunes and select it under Devices, you will see a screen to the right. That screen has several tabs, including a tab for Apps. You select which apps you want on a particular device there.
    Be sure you do not have "Automatice Downloads" set up under Settings>iTunes & App Stores for the devices in question.

  • IMatch on two Macs with same Apple ID

    I have 2 Macs in different locations with the same Apple ID's. One has less music than the other. Could I purchase iMatch on one and use it on the other to upload the remaining music?

    Hi,
    Macworld has a great article on multiple apple ID's and imatch.   Here's the link: hope it helps.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/163013/2011/10/all_about_icloud_common_signup_sc enarios.html
    Please be careful however:  if you do not have a US credit card, you CANNOT use iTunes gift cards (nor your iTunes account balance) to buy imatch.     Do NOT upgrade your software to get iCloud just for this.  (I did, and am rather annoyed).
    Hopefully apple will let gift card payment for imatch soon & that this was just an error. 
    (if you're in the same situation though: here's the post I put up).

  • Set up family on several devices with same apple id

    I have successfully started Family from my iphone and got my kids and wife connected. But when trying to add my ipad with same id as I use on my iphone I cannot succeed. It states that an account can only be connected to one family at a time. How is the procedure for this?

    I could have solved it by inviting myself.

  • How do I stop my texts and pictures from going to other devices with same Apple ID

    I share my Apple ID with my son on his Ipad and I phone.  how do I stop my photos and messages from automatically going to his devices.

    It should be iMessages which are going from device to device, you can turn this off in recipient device. The same sort of thing for Photos, however on your phone/ipad you can turn off 'Photo Stream" which will stop the sending to other devices.  You can do this under Settings>Photos & Camera.
    Regards,
    Steve
