Should every iPhone have its own iTunes account?
I just got an iPhone 4S for Christmas, and my brother had an iPhone 4. My entire family uses the same iTunes account, and it's never been a problem before now. My laptop keeps confusing my iPhone with my brothers, and it won't let me download anything from my computer to my phone because it says it hasn't had iTunes updated, which it has. Yesterday, by brother was getting my text messages on iMessage, and I got really confused because his iPhone isn't activated anymore, he got a new phone and just uses the iPhone has an iPod. Is all this happening because we don't have separate iTunes accounts, or is there another reason?
Yes that happens. My brother and my mom share the same account and sometimes I'll reach my brother instead of my mom, or vice versa. Each phone should have their own separate accounts so it doesn't confuse it with someone else. And the iMessage still works even if its not a phone anymore. If its connected to Wi-Fi it can iMessage with other apple devices.
- Why does each IPhone have its own charger? This has been bugging me forever. I have noticed that each IPhone has its own different charge cable. The reason i have noticed this is because at school, students always come into the office asking if i have a IPhone 5 or a IPhone 4 charger. Why does each IPhone model have its own charger? I mean if you look at Samsung phones, Samsung smartphones all share one charger. Why is it different with Apple?
- Why do i have to enter my password for my itunes account every time i go into my music on my iphone? Every time i open my music app on my iphone 5c it pops up a box telling me to sign in to the itunes store. When i click cancel it keeps popping up until i type my password. It's been happening for about 3 days now and it won't stop happening. Is there any reason for this to be happening? If so, is there a way to stop it from happening? It's really obnoxious having to type my password every time i want to listen to music.
- Is there any way I can transfer stuff I purchased from iTunes on one account, to a new/other account? Let's say I purchased 30 songs & 3 movies on an account with iTunes (let's call that account, account A) & now, 2 years later, I create a new account (account B) & now I want to keep my old stuff, the 30 songs & 3 movies, is there any possible way I can transfer my purchased items from account A to account B?
- If I bring my own phone that is unlocked to a carrier, will they lock it with them and do they have every right to do that? I have an iPhone that I just had unlocked so I can go switch to another carrier, but I'm wondering what will happen when I take it to another carreir to put service on it. Will they lock it with them?
