When my husband set up his new iPhone I read a message wrong when it popped up on my phone and now our messaging is synced. Is it because we have the same apple ID? Do we need to change that?

When my husband set up his new iPhone I read a message wrong when it popped up on my phone and now our messaging is synced. Is it because we have the same apple ID? Do we need to change that?

Yes, its best to have each individual apple ids. You can also go to settings, messages, send and recieve, start new conversation from, make sure there is a check mark beside each of your own individual email, not the same one on each phone.

  • How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer.

    How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer. If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

    Hey susanneyes,
    Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I changed my Apple ID and now I can't sign into iMessages because it still has my old ID. How do I change that also?

    I changed my Apple ID today and now I can't sign into iMessage because it still shows my old ID. How can I change this??

    Did you purchase Apple Care? If you did, you still have access to Apple Support.  If not, go to your Apple Store and let them help you get it set up correctly.  I'm sure it's something simple we're missing.  Good Luck. 
    Do remember one thing.  iMessage on iPad only works with other iOS devices.  This means you can only text to people who:
    1.  Have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch
    2.  And they have upgraded to iOS 5 or higher

  • How do I separate my iPhone 6 from my husbands? We've always shared the same Apple id? How do we change that and not lose his content?

    HHow do I separate my iPhone 6 from my husbands? We share the same Apple id?

    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library. Note that once done you cannot "share" apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must purchase your own apps under your own Apple ID. When you decide to split up like this one of you will need to re-purchase the apps that they want to use.
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
    Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
    have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.

  • My ipad and my wife's ipad are setup under the same Apple ID. How do I change that?

    We want to be able to manage our own log ins and apps. What is the best way to separate (associate an email for her) them so that my wife can manage her own log in and password?
    Thanks!
    Chris

    There may be better ways bit I think a 'restore to factory defaults' (after you back up the data, not just an itunes backup, but e-mail off or separate any data you want off the device)
    after you wipe it to 'as new' condition, make a new Apple ID and plug your iPad into iTunes, with that new ID active. Then it'll prompt you to restore from an old backup or set up the iPad as a new one. I honsetly do not know if it'll restore from a backup tied to an old ID or not. Perhaps someone else knows better.
    You guys will just have to be careful when you sync, etc, that you have the right ID logged in for the right device.

  • HT4436 my husband and i have the same apple id how do i change this i thought i done this all ready

    my husband have the same apple i cloud how do i change this

    Create a new Apple ID for him: Create an Apple ID
    Sign out of the old Apple ID and in with the new Apple ID on his devices in these places:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
    Settings > FaceTime
    Settings > iCloud > Delete account > Sign back in with new ID
    Settings > Game Center
    You can keep using the same Apple ID for purchases.
    If you want to have separate purchases:
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores

  • HT204380 Can I facetime talk from my Iphone to my Ipad if they have the same apple ID?

    I want to talk to my child when I'm not at home.  We have an Ipad that is in our house, and I have an Iphone on me all the time.  When I call my e-mail address from my Iphone, it rings on my Ipad, but immediatly says it is busy.  Is this because I have the same Apple ID set up for both devices?  Is there a way to make it work anyway?

    both superiormac and iCrizzo are wrong i have an iphone and an ipad 2 and have tried the same.
    the key is to call the mobile no. (with which you registered the iphone) using the ipad or call the apple id you have on the ipad from iphone. But you have to sign out from the apple id from the facetime option in the iphone.

  • My husband has an iPad and I just got one for me.  We both have the same e-mail address.  The message I get when I try to set my new one up is that the Apple ID is already in use.  How do I set up with our shared e-mail account

    My husband has an iPad and I just got one for me.  We both have the same e-mail address.  The message I get when I try to initiate setup is that the Apple ID is already in use.  Any ideas on how to complete the setup of the new iPad since we both share the e-mail account?

    If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
    You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

  • I have 2 iPads, they both have the same apple I'd and password. Can I change the I'd and password on one so they will operate separately. Right now when my husband adds a game etc. it goes on mine too. Also the information in pages that I put in shows up

    CAn I change the apple I'd and password on one of my two iPads and will they both operate separately. Right now when my husband adds a game it also is added to the other one and when I add recipes in pages, they go into the other I pad too.  When I purchased the new iPad I was told I had to have the same apple Id as the first one, I would like them to be separate, is this possible?

    You need to create a new Apple ID to use with the other iPad, then sign out in Settings>iCloud and sign in with the new ID. Of course any data such as contacts and calendars which have been synced from the first iPad will be removed from the second one when you do this.

  • I have an iPhone 4 that i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access all my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? It is also on the same apple id, but i dont know if that would help with anything.

    I have an iPhone 4 thats i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? Aslo the are both on the same apple id but i dont know if that would help or not.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

    2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    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.
