Can I set up a secondary icloud account for my boss

I would like to set up a secondary icloud account for my boss & I to share a calendar and notes only. It would be set up on both our phones. (mine iPhone4s, his iPhone 5c) I am a bit apprehensive, as I want to make sure he doesn't have access to anything from my personal one, or I to his. Can anyone tell me how this is done?
Thank you.

That's right.  You will see both calendars when you open the Calendars app (unless you uncheck one of them so it isn't in view), and both sets of Notes in the notes app (if you tap Accounts, then tap All Notes so they are both in view). 
The only thing you'll want to make sure you do is to go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) and choose the calendar you want new calendar events to go to by default.  If you want them to go to your personal calendar, select your primary iCloud account calendar as your default.  You can manually assign new calendar events to either calendar by tapping the Calendar field when you create the event.
Similarly, you'll want to go to Settings>Notes>Default Account and choose the account you want new notes to be created in by default.  To create a note in the other account, open the Notes app, tap Accounts, then select the other account prior to creating the note.
Your boss will want to take these same steps in order to ensure that his personal calendar events and notes are created in the correct account too.

  • HT204053 can i set up a new icloud account and transfer files

    I have gotten divorced and really need to change my email address which is linked to icloud and has all my diary/itune/ibook purchases linked to it.  I understand i CANNOT change my email so this forces me to have to create a new icloud account.  How do i do this and can i set up the new icloud account to inherit my former accounts purchases?

    Go to www.icloud.com, go to the mail module, acess the settings (small gear wheel, on the right), choose Preferences>Accounts and create an alias in the lefthand panel.

    Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account.  For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
    On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

    I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes.  Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?  I want to stop my husbands downloads appearing on my ipad, and vice versa.

    A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

    Yes you do have an existing AppleID.

  • Can't set up two different IMAP accounts for same company

    I have a new company and it requires two separate email accounts. One of the accounts works just fine, the other doesn't. I've tried support info on the mozilla site, I've tried the imapconfig.exe file, and nothing works! One of the accounts is a customer service account that needs to work just as well as the personal account for the company works.

    Could you check with the company if IMAP access (supposed you are using that) or POP3 access has been enabled for that specific mailbox?

  • TS3988 How can I set up a new icloud account with a new apple id when I have an old account for which I have lost the password and security questions etc

    I have changed isp and no longer have access to rescue email addresses and have lost my details. I have set up a new apple id and want to set up icloud with this but cant get past the icloud preferences pane with the old address. How do I get around this?

    Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
    If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.

  • Can I set up a 2nd iTunes account for a new iPod on my iMac?

    How do you set it up?  If so, can the 2 accounts share music?  If they can share music, does it have to be the entire library or can you pick and choose what you want to share?  Lastly, can they have 2 different cards or iTunes cards linked to them?  Thanks!!

    Yes, as long as he/she is at least 13 years old.

  • So I have an Ipod Touch and an Iphone, the ipod has now been given to my daughter how can I set a different password and account for that??

    So I am trying to almost totally reset my ipod so my daughter can have it and not have a credit card attached and also i want a different appleID--Is this possible?? any how??

    First create a new ID by:
    How do I get an Apple ID?
    You may already have an Apple ID, and you only need one for everything you do with Apple. If you aren't sure, visitMy Apple ID and click "Find out."
    If you don't have an Apple ID, you can create one at My Apple ID. You can also create one by signing up for an Apple service (such as an iTunes Store or iCloud). You should use your primary email address as your Apple ID.
    What happens when you try to create a new account? Error message?

  • How can i set up a apple id account for my child without a credit card?

    Hi i have set up family sharing but now want to set up a apple id for my daughter. i have attempted to do this but i do not have a credit card only my visa debit card or visa electron. I was wondering if there is any way i can set one up for her ipod with just one of my cards? I really dont want to lie about her age just to create one
    Thank you

    Hey Sonn.80,
    Creating an Apple ID for a child requires the use of a credit card for your payment method in Family Sharing. See this article -
    Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
    Specifcally -
    Before you begin, make sure that you're using a credit card as your iTunes Store and App Store payment method. To comply with child online privacy protection laws, you will use the CVV or security code from a valid credit card as part of providing your parental consent. If the card on file is a debit card or another payment method, you’ll be asked to provide a credit card before you can continue. After you create the child's Apple ID, you can change your payment method back to a debit card.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,
    Brett L 

  • Contacts & iCloud: can you have more than one iCloud account syncing with Contacts on the Mac?

    I want to set up a shared iCloud account for multiple users in a (very) small office environment, where several new iOS devices and, for the moment, two Macs (2012 13" MacBook Pro and 2013 Mac Mini) will be able to read/write to a shared Contacts account – and at the same time maintain a second, personal iCloud account linked to the same Contacts app on one machine, which account's contacts data will remain private and inaccessible to the other Macs/devices which are likewise using the shared account.
    Can this be done? (I.e., can Contacts app on a Mac include separate iCloud accounts?)
    If so, how to set it up?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your answer. There's no problem with others accessing that Mac – it's used by one person only – my question is can you add a second iCloud account to Contacts. Over the past two days I had tried to add the shared iCloud account to Contacts and kept getting failures. But maybe the server was down or the ISP was weird: your response assumes it can be done and so, to my embarrassment, I tried again just now and violá, it's done. Thanks again.
    P.S. Finding a simple presentation that makes clear you can have more than one iCloud accounts syncing to Contacts at the same time was very hard to find, either from Apple or others on the web. Maybe I don't know how to search, but they could do with a clear explanation of this for the uninitiated.

  • Find my iPhone from secondary icloud account

    Is there any explanation or rationale why Apple removed the option to use a secondary icloud account for the "find my iPhone|iPod|iPad" function in iOS 7? It was a great way to have all my family's devices visible in a single account, whilst keeping the rest separated!...
    I'd really like that functionality back, TBH!

    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account.

  • How do I manage multiple iCloud accounts for personal iCloud Drive & personal calling?

    Yosemite has the ability now to make and receive phone calls as well as to use an iCloud Drive to share documents across devices (similar to DropBox, but as you will see with one major customization flaw).  These are wonderful featurew, however, unless I am following the directions incorrectly my computer with Yosemite has to have the same iCloud account as is used on my iPhone for iMessage (for calling) and for virtually everything else for iCloud Drive (ie there is no way to set-up a separate iCloud account for iCloud Drive). 
    Now for iMessage I use a private iCloud account, but for the iPhone itself I actually use an iCloud account shared with my family.  Why?  Because when we use a shared iCloud account we can share a number of things here such as:
    Location  on Find iPhone.  This works way better than find my friends and also makes it easy for us to lock a device if it's stolen since all of us know how to do this. 
    Calendar not critical, but allows us to put some family events here
    Notes, Very cool as we can share shopping lists which is very helpful when you show up at the grocery and want to know what to get or to Costco etc
    Reminders Also very cool as we can create reminders for each other for when we get home or whatever
    Files on iCloud Drive Yes there are some files that it would be nice to share and we can do this (ideally there would be multiple accounts for this)
    Now I haven't really used iCloud Drive much but you can easily imagine how some documents I might want to share with the family on iCloud while other's I might not.
    Now when you switch your Facetime iCloud account to the same as the iPhone that is one private iCloud account shared with an application on another device that uses the same iCloud account.  That is NO PROBLEM.  However, the minute you activate the ability to call phones it requires that you now have the SAME iCloud account in the main computer.  Now BINGO I have a problem as noted above I want to be able to share certain things with other devices.
    Does anyone have a solution or workaround?
    Otherwise it seems the only thing to suggest is that Apple consider a feature enhancement that allows you to make cell calls from your computer WITHOUT switching the iCloud account to the main account.  For that matter it would be very useful if they could figure out how to partition the iCloud features so that I can decide which iCloud account does what or like DropBox give permissions for certain things and allow the individual users to decide what they want and don't want.
    Thanks.

    Gail,
    No you are not being dense, you are just trying to be helpful.  I may not have explained the problem very well.  Setting up a Family iCloud account works great!  However, if that account name is also used for your iMessage, Facetime, and now cellular calls you have an issue with your calls going to the entire family (or worse the thing just not working), your iMessages if multiple phone numbers are trying to use the same icloud account usually get messed up, and their Facetime accounts might end up showing up as you instead of them.  In fact, I think you can't call your family members in this situation and I'm not sure iMessage works very well either.  So what everyone does is create a personal iCloud account for personal features such as iMessage, FaceTime, etc.
    Now in theory I could co-opt the Family iCloud account for my calls, but then no one else would be able to use the call feature, because unless I'm mistaken you can't have multiple phone numbers attached to the call Forward and still have them recognize which calls to forward to which phones.    If they don't care for this feature it might work (I'm experimenting now), but I don't think that's what Apple intended. 
    It is possible to do a switch, which may be what you are suggesting.  This would involve creating a separate profile on the computer that is used for making phone calls.  I would, however, still need to co-opt the iCloud account for just my number and worse I wouldn't be able to make any calls unless I was in that profile.  One of the great advantages of calling from your computer is that you make the call while you are working on something else which is inevitably your work or your personal stuff which is NOT likely to be in the newly created family profile.
    Thanks for the suggestion, but I hope this helps you understand either how little I understand of your suggestion or why it doesn't quite meet my needs.

  • HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'.  When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone'  Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted.  This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.
