How to separate two iphones on the same itunes account?

My father and I are on the same wireless and itunes account. Whenever I buy an app or music, it shows up on his phone and vice versa. We recently upgraded to iphone 6 and transferred service carriers. When I synced my new phone and transferred all my stuff via itunes, there were no problems. When I tried to move all my dad's stuff, of course it wanted to put all my apps, contacts, and data on his new phone. How do I separate the two accounts? Should I install itunes on a different computer and set up his new phone on its own account?

Yes, create another iTunes account. Treat the phone for the new account as a new phone and stop syncing or restoring or otherwise mixing accounts. If you are "family" you can access each others apps and photos and music, but in a more controlled way.

  • Two iPhones using the same Apple ID account I recently got the iPhone 5S and everything is fine with that. Prior to that, I had the iPhone 4S. The 5S is activated with my cell provider and the 4S has been deactivated. I want to use the 4S sort of like an iPod Touch. I'm using the same Apple ID on both devices. Whatever I do on one, take pics, edit contacts, etc, it shows up on the other device. I was wondering if there's a way to use the same Apple ID but not have the changes transfer over to the other device?
  • Two different computers, two different iTunes.can I use the same Apple ID? I have iTunes on my computer that I use for my iPhone, and my mon just got an iPod Touch and wants me to fill it for her. I'm going to use her computer to do this, which currently does not have iTunes. Once I download iTunes, can I use my own Apple ID to download songs and apps onto her iPod? Is it possible to do that without disturbing what's on my phone, or do I have to make a whole new iTunes account for her?
  • My aunt and uncle have the same Apple ID. I think they need separate ones, do they? I've told them to get separate ones in the event that they need to back up their phones or get new ones. Don't they need separate ones? They hardly back up their phones or hook up their iPhones to the computer.
