We have two. IPod touch with the same Apple ID . How can each have a different profile name set up?

My boys would like their own Game Center profile set up but they are both using my Apple ID. They are not yet 13. When I change the name on one ipod it automatically changes on the other. Please help!

They need a unique Apple ID for Game Center. Set one up in your name an supervise its use
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her 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.

  • I have 2 ipod touch with the same apple id and password. Can I change the id and password on just one of them?

    I bought a second ipod touch 4g for my daughter for Christmas  amonth ago. I wanted to be sure it was Ok so
    I "tested" it by signing up with the same Apple ID and password as MY touch. I assumed it would not be a major
    problem to "clear" it so my daughter could set it up with her own account (Apple ID/email and password). I am
    unsure HOW to do this. I have read several articles but none seem to be very clear. I do not want to cause any
    "damage" to MY touch such as messing up my apps and itunes library. Any advice?

    Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

  • Two iPod Touches on the Same Apple Account

    I just got a new iPod Touch and gave my old one to my sister. Everytime I download a new app it goes to hers and the same if she downloads one, and its bugging me. Also if there was a way to not have the same Game Center account. I was wondering if there was anyway to get that to stop. I am fairly good with technology, and this making me mad that the simplest thing can be fixed. So if anyone could help me, that would be amazing!

    - For the apps downloading, on the iPods go to Settings>Store and turn off automatic downloads.
    - I do know for the Game Center question.
    - If you want to be able to separate FaceTime and Messages between the two iPods see:

  • Can I sync my two ipod touches using the same iTunes account

    I have two ipod touches and I am wondering if I can sync my legally bought digital movies from blu-ray discs that are on the cpu and registered, will it sync with two ipod touches with the same iTunes account.

    The movies on the laptop are just digital copies. A lot of newer blu-ray movies come out with the blu-ray and a digital copy for the cpu as well. Thanks for responding.

  • I have 2 ipod touches on the same apple id account.  Can I set facertime up on both with different access emails?

    I have 2 ipod touches on the same apple ID/account.  My daughter uses one, and I use the other.  Can I set facetime up on each with different access email addresses (so that we don't get each others calls?)?

  • I have my iphone 4 and an ipod touch on the same apple ID.  My daughter tried to change the settings on the ipod so that she could facetime on both her ipod and iphone which is on a separate Apple ID.  I no longer have a 3G connection.

    I have an iphone 4 and an ipod touch on the same apple ID.  My daughter who uses the ipod tried to change the apple ID on the ipod to be the same with her apple ID on her own Iphone so that she can use facetime on both devices.  Not sure what she did but my 3G connection is no longer working.

    Changing Facetime settings on an iPod will have no affect on cellular settings on an iPhone. Something else is going on there. If she did not change any settings on the phone, then nothing she did could affect your celluar 3G.

  • If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

  • My company uses Creative Cloud subscription (Photoshop CC 2014) for one of its photographers and wishes to add another user/install with the same IT account, how can we sign up another user?

    Essentially can we add another user to the existing account and add the new payment for the yearly subscription, I seem to have seen somewhere on your account site(cant remember its not very intuitive) that 2-3 systems can log in with the same credentials.
    How can we set this up without enrolling with yet another email ID, etc.?
    Thanks!

    You can cancel the individual CC & opt for CC for team in which number of seats can be purchased.

  • Can I use an iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch on the same apple account?

    Can I use an iPad, iPad Mini and iPod touch on the same account?  Is there a limit to how many devices I can use?

    When you turn on your iDevice for the first time just sign in with the same Apple ID and you can download any apps you have purchased in the past! There shouldn't be a limit to how many devices you can use.

  • How can I see My Photo Stream from two Macs associated with the same Apple ID?

    I have a MacBook Pro (my personal machine) and an iMac (our family computer).
    The iPhoto library housing all of our family photos lives on the iMac.
    The iPhoto library on my MacBook Pro is currently empty.
    I have an account on both machines.  I have associated the same Apple ID with both machines.
    When I launch iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and attempt to turn on photo sharing (so that I can see My Photo Stream, as well as other shared streams), iPhoto informs me that "iCloud Photos for xxx@xxx is being used with another library named 'iPhoto Library'."
    My iPhone, which is also affiliated with the same Apple ID, shows the streams just fine.
    What can I do to remedy this situation?  I'd like to be able to view my shared streams on my MacBook Pro, while leaving the actual massive photo library on the iMac.

    I found out about this issue when I created a new library with some photo's I wanted to sync to my iCloud account.  I found the following on the Fat Cat Software page and thought it might be helpful to others:
    Using Photo Stream with multiple libraries
    Starting in iPhoto 9.2, Apple introduced a new feature called Photo Stream, which lets you automatically transfer photos via their iCloud service between your iPhoto library and your other devices such as an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. This feature works when you have multiple iPhoto libraries set up, but there are a couple things to be aware of.
    First, iPhoto will only allow Photo Stream to be active in one iPhoto library at any given time. If you've already enabled Photo Stream in one library, but then open a second library and enable Photo Stream there, this will cause Photo Stream to be turned off in the first library.
    Any photos downloaded by Photo Stream are actually stored in an entirely separate location from any of your iPhoto libraries. This means that, even if you do switch Photo Stream from one library to another, you will not need to go through redownloading all the photos you already have in Photo Stream back from the iCloud servers. So, switching Photo Stream from one library to another is a relatively inexpensive operation, so you can do it as often as needed without it being much of a hassle.

  • I have two iPhones associated to the same Apple ID. Can I manage music

    I now have two iPhones (4s & 5s) associated to the same Apple ID. I am
    giving my wife the 4S.   
    We like different music & apps from one another. Can I manage music & apps independently on each device even though they have the same Apple ID Association?
    Thanks

    Yes, but I highly recommend each have your own, separate AppleID and your own computer login to manage your own data separately.

  • Two iPod touch devices sharing an Apple ID. Can I create a new ID for one of them, and will I lose everything if I do?

    My three young sons pooled their money and bought an iPod touch a few years ago. The oldest decided he wanted his own. We bought him one for Christmas last year, and I set it up using the same Apple ID. My oldest son downloaded some games but soon found whenever his brothers played the same games, the progress and changes were transferred to his device and vice versa. Is there a way to create a new Apple ID for the old device? If I am able to do that, will the younger kids lose all their pictures and videos? I am not concerned about them losing games or music. They have very little paid content on their iPod, but the older one has hit the age where he wants to start downloading music and better apps. Thank you for any help!!

    It the devices have iOS 8 then use Family Sharing
    http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
    Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
    Not that yo have to be at least 13 for a regular ID
    Changing the ID does not erase any Data from the device
    CHANGE ID
    The ID is used in the following locations and you  have to change them.
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    Settings>iCloud
    and Settings>iTunes and App store
    You  have to sign out of ID (for iCloud you delete the iCloud account from the iPod) and sign in with other ID.
    Note the following are resolved if you  use Family Sharing (iOS 8 and later):
    - 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.
    If the iPod has iOS 7 or later then you have the enter the password for Apple ID presently sign in Settings>iCloud.
    Also, a Restriction can be set (Settings>General>Restrictions) the prevents changing accounts
