Sep 8, 2015 12:25 PM in response to Kilgore-Troutby louisefromcoventry,I have signed into the ipad using my husbands apple id but it still has all of my history and apps, messages etc
If I now restore the ipad to factory settings using his apple id does that mean that my iphone (with my apple id) will not be affected ?

True. Make sure that the iCloud ID is changed under Settings > iCloud. Also check iTunes & App Store.

Classic Mac OSYou did go into "your" apple id and drop your husband iDevice from the list of devices? You could look into a family plan to link the idevices to share certain things.
