We have 5 devices connected to the same apple id. My kids want to text from their iPods but its connected to my iPhone number and my email. How can I fix it so that their txts to their friends don't look like they are from me?
We have 5 devices connected to the same apple ID. My kids want to text from their iPod but when they do, it shows up on their friends devices that it was sent from my email or cell phone #. Is there anyway to fix this?

I have 3 phones on one apple ID. I want to remove my phone which is the main phone on the acct to it's own apple ID. How can I do that but keep the other 2 on the current ID
When you connect that iPad to iTUnes, go to the summary page and scroll down, there should be a box saying 'automatically update' or something to that effect. De select that.
With automatically update on, what you buy on one goes onto the other. but with that box off you can choose.
On the iPad itself, it's under
Settings
iTUnes and App Stores
and then you can choose what you want automatically updated between the two devices. -
Currently I have two iPads connected to the same apple iPad. One is connected to game center(iPad air) one the other(iPad 2) is not connected to Game Center. How can I connect the iPad 2 Clash of Clan progress to game center when I already have another clash from iPad air connected?
You cannot transfer content between two accounts. The sooner you make the conversion, the better. Just pick the new one and start using it(buying music etc).
*A lot of people open new accounts when their email changes or they have a new email. You can just access your apple id account and change the primary email that you use to log in along with other details. -

i have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?
Try this:
Open the "Find my iPhone" app on your iPad, fill in your AppleID and password at the start up screen, and you should see a list of all your devices and their current location, if connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile data network. Devices not connected will be shown as "offline". But you can still trap on the icon and hit "erase iPhone" in the right hand window.
If your iPhone is not listed, you did not activate this feature during the setup of the phone and it can't be erased remotely.
If the phone is listed, even as offline, tap on "erase" to send the erase command. The next time your device will be connected to any kind of network, the content will be erased. -
We have multiple devices in the family, including now 4 iphones, all who share the same Apple ID. I want to stop this, but need thoughts on multiple IDs as Findmyphone works well as same ID?!
I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!! -
I have 2 iPhones - one for personal use and one for work. They are currently connected with the same Apple ID. I would like to separate the two accounts. Does anybody know how to do this?
Just create a new AppleID for your work.
As Allan suggested, items purchased on one iTunes account cannot be moved to the other account.
However, you can put items purchased on on account onto the other iPhone. -
I have an iPhone, an iPad, 2 iPad mini's and 2 iPod Touch's that all share the same apple id. I want to separate the iPhone so that texts are not seen on the other devices but I still want them to have the iMessage ability. How do I do that?
Not sure if you can have 2 Apple ids contact Apple.com/I'd You may to set IPhone up as new with a different Apple ID & password. Bsydd uk

I have 3 iDevices using the same apple ID. Does it mean I have 15Go for free or only 5Go?
I have 3 iDevices using the same apple ID. Does it mean I have 15Go for free or only 5Go?
With 3 iDevices, I'm very fast over the limit, and of course, I have to pay more !
But I bought these 3 iDevices... I should get 15Go for free, shouldn't I?
Maybe I'm wrong... In any cases, if I can get 15Go, can you explain me how ?
THANKS!Thank you very much for your reply. I understand now. The 5Go limitation is linked to our AppleID and not linked to our iDevice...
I appreciate a lot Apple and all its universe, but I can't stand paying always more... even more when you bought 3 devices >600$ each, which are promoting iOS and the iCloud capabilities with a limitation of 5Go. It's a misleading advertising ! 5Go can seem to be enough for one device but it's sure that it's not enough for 3 !!! It's an insidious way to encourage once more the consumer to pay again and again.
Sorry but I find that a litlle bit irritating.
Do you know if we can use an alternative cloud compatible with our iDevice? -
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. -
hi everyone, first time using this forum!
I have an old iphone 3 and for Xmas received an iphone 5. I have 2 apple ID accounts, one on each phone. For me to be able to transfer messages, fotos, contacts etc from the iphone 3 to 5 do I have to be using the same Apple ID account? Many thanks.You should only use one Apple ID for both phones. All apps that you bought for your 3 are linked forever to the Apple ID used to buy them. If you set up your iPhone 5 as a new phone, rather than restoring from a backup of the 3, you will lose the messages, but you can sync to get the pix, contacts and music. It is safer to do it as a new phone, because sometimes restoring a backup from an earlier version of the phone can cause problems in the new phone (as told to me by an Apple store "genius" two days ago.)

I can't update software because a message appears that I have to log with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase them: iMovie, Garage Band, iPhoto, but those apps came with OSX Lion.
How can I get the "original" Apple ID?Support Downloads

My wife and I got Iphone 4S same day 2 years ago. I used the same Apple ID for both. We do not use iCloud, but today after I updated my phone to IOS7 I keep getting her texts on my phone ans vice versa. I turned off imessage in message settings. Seems to have stopped now? Never did this before IOS7. Will I have more troubble when her phone updates to IOS7? Is icloud going to be forced on me then?
This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage on both phones. To separate your messages, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both phones; or
If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address, on one of the two phones, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID. -
I have like 4-5 teeny tiny dots in the screen of my iphone i don't know what they are from. I can only see some of them when I tilt my phone a certain way. And they are little bitty but I am wondering what they are from
my total library is 680 mb, nowhere close to the 2.08 in the pictures folder. I am obviously messing up.
Actually you’re not.
The iPhoto Window reports the size of the library that would result if you exported all the current versions +and nothing else+ to a folder on the desktop.
The iPhoto Library Folder contains the Original, Modified and thumbnail versions of your pics. It also contains various cache and database files +all of which are necessary+ for the working of the Library.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
You can run a Library on an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
