Two phones on the same iTunes want to separate them

Me and my wife are on there the same iTunes account. I would like to separate our accounts and phones

Simply make a new Apple ID at appleid.apple.com and sign into the newly created account on your phone on every app and setting (App Store, iTunes, iCloud etc.). It would be better if you are to delete everything downloaded using the old account your wife will now have on your device as you will be unable to update apps if they were not purchased using the Apple ID you will now use. Delete everything and re-download it with your new Apple ID and leave the original Apple ID for your wife's device. Also don't forget to sign into your new Apple ID on your local computer so that when syncing, the computer doesn't get confused and start deleting apps and doing random things.
Hope this helped

    I have two phones under the same apple ID and I want to put them on separate apple IDs, how do I do this??

    If you sign out of an Apple ID under Settings > iCloud, you should be prompted for an option to 'Keep on my iPhone' in regards to Contacts and other related data.  Then, when signing in with another Apple ID on that same iPhone, you should be prompted to 'Merge'.  If you do both, then you won't lose any Contacts, and the iCloud Contacts will then be merged into the new Apple ID iCloud, but also will stay on the old Apple ID iCloud.
    In the future, it might be best to post your own question thread instead of bumping a thread that is over two years old.

  • CAn You Sync Two iPhones to the same iTunes Account?

    Has anyone been successful in syncing two iPhones to the same iTunes account. I am the main user of our Mac and my wife just uses it for email and internet browsing. Basically she uses my user account and therefore we share one contacts list, one calendar, one iTunes, and both use the same Mac Mail with our own email addresses. Both also want to use MobileMe.
    Thanks,
    trippj

    Yes.. It is a very difficult process.. First, log into 1 computer with your account and Authorize that computer to use the iPhone. then Sync your phone.. Log out and go to the second computer.. login and Authorize then sync your phone.
    It worked for me

  • If I delete an app on my iPhone will it be deleted from my iTunes or my wife's phone?  (Both phones use the same iTunes account)

    If I delete an app on my iPhone will it be deleted from my iTunes or my wife's phone?  (Both phones use the same iTunes account)
    It is easier for me to clean up my phone on the phone itself and not on the computer.
    Thanks

    No. It will only be Deleted on the Device you are Deleting it from.

  • How do I set up two phones with the same Icloud account

    I have 2 Iphones for my daughters and want to use the same Itunes account and Icloud account but when I set it up on the 2nd phone it uploaded the other phones contacts and the new phone is receiving the 1st phones text message.  do you have to set up a separate Icloud account to prevent this from happening?

    Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
    Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
    Backup Phone A.
    Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
    When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
    After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

  • HT201269 can i sync two ipads to the same itunes account

    Getting an ipad 4 to replace original ipad, but want to keep both "in-sync" together, can this be done with the same itunes account?

    I have an iPod Touch and two iPads and I was syncing them all to the same iTunes library. I use the same Apple ID on both devices.
    Transfer all purchases from the original iPad into iTunes, backup the iPad and sync with iTunes. Then when you set up the new iPad, restore from the backup of the original iPad and sync with iTunes - and both iPads will be identical. The only thing that you will have to do on the new iPad is to enter all of your passwords since they will not restore to a new device from the backup of another device.
    Transfer purchases.

    You can use iCloud to keep all documents, reminders, calendar events, bookmarks, etc. in sync as well. If you go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and turn on automatic downloads, you can download apps, music and books to both devices and keep those "in sync" as well.

  • Two accounts with the same iTunes library (at same time!)

    Hi, on my iMac I setup my iTunes library (connected with ATV), guessing what happens if I move this library to the shared folder on my iMac and in the same time this is opened by the two accounts present on my iMac (me and my wife).
    Should I make the connection with ATV also on my wife's account ? What happens to other account ?
    Thanks.

    only one iTunes can access a library at a time.
    instead, you could try this:
    i assume both you and your wife have their own iTMS account. if that is so, you might want to try to cross-authorize iTunes on each account to play/use content purchased by the other. this works at least for an iPod Touch so i would be surprised if it didn't work for the TV.
    that's basically very easy. all you have to do is +log out+ of one account (click on the account name in the Store window and select sign out from the pop-up dialog) and into the other, and then they will both be authorized. (be sure to just *log out*, not de-authorize ).

  • Duplicate Contacts After Syncing Two iPhones from the Same iTunes

    My husband and I each have an iPhone that we sync from the same iTunes account. We sync our Yahoo contacts as well. Following the upgrade yesterday, we each now have each other's Yahoo contacts (as well as our own) showing up on our iPhones. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached for iMessages at. Uncheck the phone number that you don't want to use and check/select the number that you do want to use on each phone.

  • How can I sync two iphones to the same itunes account without deleting

    My husband & I both have iphones & we share the same itunes account. He just got a iphone 4 and we are trying to transfer his music from the old phone to the new one but we are unable to do that. There is a msg that says if we choose to sync all the songs will be replaced with music from the itunes library. So does that mean he will lose all the music on his phone, replacing it with my library? Help Please!

    I asked a simular question. It is confusing indeed.

  • I have multiple phones on the same itunes account but now we can see everyones imessages.  Can I create a new account for imessaging?

    I have multiple phones that share an apple ID for music.  The problem is that when we use imessaging we see eachothers messages.  Can I create a separate account solely for imessaging so private messages can be sent but keep the same itunes account and continue sharing music?

    Yes. 

  • How can I keep contact list separate on 2 phones on the same iTunes account

    I have 2 iPhones and 2 iPads on the same ITunes account. How can I keep my contact list separate on each device?

    You need to go to
    Setting
    Mail,contacts,calendars
    Go to each email and unselect contacts.
    Once this is complete all the contacts you add on the devices will stay local. Downfall of this is when you get a new phone you will not be able to transfer data to new phone unless you use computer to back it up
