Two iPhones, one icloud ID for imessgae and facetime???

I have two iphones, 3Gs and iPhone 5 and I am having problems activating the iPhone 5. The 3Gs has been activated and I can use it to send and recieve imessages but the iPhone 5 keeps telling me activation unsuccessful and when I check the send and recieve at section, the number (grayed out) is that of the 3Gs instead!
What could be the problem??? Do I have to create a different account for the iPhone 5 and how do I let it display the telephone number of the iPhone 5 instead of that of the 3Gs???

that's right, sync it with your library but also make sure that your sister does not do it again as it will keep changing.
You may wanna disable contacts sync with the iCloud on her device by taking her device and go on settings, iCloud & switch off contacts.

  • Two iPhones, one iCloud account

    I have two iPhones and want both the photo's to be steamed to our Mac, but don't want the pictures to go to both of our iPhones. As in I don't want my wife's pictures to show up on my iPhone as mine on hers, but want both photos to go to the Mac. How do I set that up?

    Sorry, photostream is then not for you.
    Both devices as well as any PC or Mac would need to have signed in using the same Apple-ID which woudl automatically not only sync all the picture-mishmash of the various devices to each other, but would also share all mails,adressbooks,ical appointments,bookmarks and so on.
    A "gallery option" in that you could selectively pick photos to share with outsiders is not in icloud.
    It is designed around "You" and "your stuff" on "your devices".
    All in all it is just badly programmed.

  • TS3988 Two iPhones, one iCloud account.

    Both my wife & I have Iphones. When on my Icloud account to find my phone, only my phone can be found & my wife phone can't be located.
    But her phone is on the screen. How can I fix this?

    You can use the same Apple ID for both phones, you would then be able to use the purchased Apps/Content on both phones without having to pay again.

  • Two iphones, one iTunes account, two icloud accounts

    Hi,
    I have two iPhones, one  privat, one from my company.
    I would like ...
    ... to have all music, apps, books bought via iTunes to be on both iPhones - use same Apple ID for iTunes account?
    ... seperate calender, contacts, todos - use different Apple IDs for iCloud?
    Is there still a way to have all pictures taken in one common photo stream?

    I have the same question.  My daughter and I share an apple account which is fine, but now I am getting some of her texts and each time I send her one I get a duplicate?  I thought I messed this up when we tried to Facetime each other and I have deleted all those options.  How do I fix it so I have my own texts and she has her own texts, I don't get duplicate texts but she can still access our I tunes account?  Please help

  • HT204053 Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services from two different devices - iPhone and iPad?

    Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services simultaneously on two different devices - iPhone and iPad? It seems those are competing to each other, and the services work on one of them only (iPhone).

    Many thanks, Sir! Both are mine and it's good to know that imessage can work on both with the same Apple ID. Will now have to find out why imessage stopped working on iPad when it started on iPhone (new). After exploring the forum I understand  that there may be plenty of reasons why imessage does not work, even though it worked previously on the same device with the same ID.

  • I have two iPhones, one is a 4s and the other is a 3g. I have not used my 3g in some time now. I recently restored it but I cannot use it without a sim card, it says i have to "activate it."

    I have two iPhones, one is a 4s and the other is a 3g. I have not used my 3g in some time now. I recently restored it but I cannot use it without a sim card, it says i have to "activate it." I cannot place my iPhone 4s sim card in it (too small), and i do not want to get a new contract or sim card for an iPhone that i do not ues very much.

    Thanks for your help, but i cannot borrow a noral sim card now, my family has all up graded to iPhone 4s's, i have done this before, but one of my family had the same type of iphone so i could use theirs. Now i am the only one who still holds on to their old phone... I am not sure about buying an adapter...

  • Two iPhones - one syncs reminders, the other doesn't

    I have two iPhones - one is a work-issued phone (an iPhone 5), and the other (a 5S) is my personal phone. I've also got an iPad Air. All of them have the most current iOS (8.1.3). For some reason, the Reminders app on my 5S won't sync with the other devices.
    If I create a reminder on my 5, or on my iPad, or on iCloud, it will instantly update on all of those devices. But not on the 5S. If I create a reminder on my 5S, it seems to upload to the others (and, actually, I did it just now and all of a sudden it synced everything else from the other devices).
    Any ideas why my 5S won't pull down updates on Reminders?

    Hi David,
    Thanks for the reply. I tried what you suggested (I think I've tried that in the past, to varying degrees of success) and once I turned sync back on, it did download the current list of reminders. However, when I created one on the 5, it still hasn't shown up on the 5S, some 15 minutes later (although it immediately showed up on the iPad). I'm puzzled as to why that one phone just won't seem to sync like the others do...

  • Two iPhones + One Mac = One Shared Photo Stream (Impossible?)

    Please can someone give me a straight forward answer to this question? I have read through the other similar forum questions and I still don't feel that I have found a definitive answer / solution.
    Is it possible to do the following please:
    Two iPhones + One Mac = One Shared Photo Stream (i.e. three devices that all have access to and update the Photo Stream as photographs are taken)
    If so, how?
    If not, am I really the only person that wants to do this?
    Thanks (in anticipation).

    Create a free email account at gmail, yahoo, outlook.com, or one of the other email services and use that to create the second Apple ID.
    Also, create separate user accounts on your computer for each of you to avoid unintentionally mixing up your data.
