Can you have multiple accounts under same apple id?

We have 1 main apple id for our household so that anything we buy can be shared onto any of our devices. However this is a problem when we use giftcards. When 1 child redeems their gift card onto the account, they can't stop the other sibling from using their money accidentally. Is there a way to set-up separate subaccounts while still being able to share content among all of us?

iCloud isn't designed as a multi-user service. Either you all have the same ID, and all your data is available to everyone, or you all have separate IDs and keep your data separate. You can share calendars, so that for example you could all have your own calendars but have one which is common to everyone:

If you want to share contacts you will have to do it manually. If you want to do file transfer you will have to find a third-party alternative.

    can you have multiple phones on same user email

    If you mean can they share the same iCloud account, yes.  Just be aware that when multiple devices share the same iCloud account, any data they sync with the account will be merged and the merged data will appear on all of the devices.  Also, any action taken on one device (such as adding or deleting contacts) will also be taken on all other devices sharing the account.  Finally, the iCloud backups of all the devices will share the same iCloud storage space.

  • Can you have multiple accounts on the same ipad2?

    Can my wife and I share the same iPad using two different accounts? If so, how?

    If you want differing accounts (like on a PC where you login to different user accounts) with different settings (like background image, icon settings per page, etc,) per account, then no.

  • Friend has new iPod touch but no computer - can you have multiple devices under one account number?  If so how do I do it?

    I have an iPod and have an account set up already with iTunes.  My friend has brand new iPod touch but no computer.   She only wants to download CDs onto iPod but I couldn't seem to do this without being prompted to set up an account or it overriding the information for my iPod - any help would be appreciated.

  • Can you have multiple users on one apple Id and utilize iCloud?

    My family shares an apple Id and we each have multiple Apple devices. When we use iCloud we "cross pollinate" each others devices with contacts, calendar events, etc.  is it possible to manage multiple users on one apple Id with iCloud activated or are separate ID's required?

  • Can you have multiple accounts in one library?

    I've had two iTunes accounts for several years now, and it was never a problem on my old laptop--I needed the second account because I wanted to use a giftcard from outside the US, and the credit refused to apply to the US iTunes store.  However, I replaced my computer about a month ago, and the new version of iTunes won't download my iTunes purchases automatically.  When I try, it says it's already associated with another account, and it will add restrictions if I set it to automatically download purchases.  I don't know what this means, but I'd like a way around it.  I don't want to have multiple libraries (which seems to be the only way I've seen other people on the forum use multiple accounts); there's music on both accounts that I listen to all the time.  I've been stuck working off of two computers for a month now, and it's getting frustrating.  Help?

    To elaborate a bit more. The public class must match the filename, however you can declare "inner" classes.
    An inner class can be declared inside another class, or even inside another method. Where you declare that class dictates the scope it will have. However, the lack of an ability to declare these classes public (a public class must be declared inside a java file with the same name), means that they are not visible anywhere else. However, they do still have plenty of uses.
    Declaring a class inside a method is used rarely, but would look something like
    public void foo(Bar myBar = new Bar
            private String baz = "Hello";
            public String doSomething()
                 return baz;
         myBar.doSomething()
    }This declares and implements the class Bar inside the method header. Sure, this is a pretty useless example, but you could put any methods or variables inside your inner class, and they would be available only during execution of that method. (ie. only have method scope).

  • Can you have multiple accounts on ipod touch

    My daughter has an Ipod touch and I have my itunes account on it.  Is there a way we can have 2 itune accounts linked to the same Ipod touch?

    Yes. Just note the 90-day time period mspecifed her for using some iCloud features.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    Also note:
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • I have more music than 25,000 songs, can I have two accounts under one apple ID?

    Is there a way to add more songs or a second account to one apple ID?

    Just to be clear, iTunes Store purchases made with the same Apple ID being used for iTunes Match do not count towards the 25,000 song limit.
    This may help:

  • Can there by multiple accounts under one id?  I just loaded a $25 gift card and it showed up in my balance.  My daughter, under the same id had $12.0 left from a previous gift card.  Now only the $12.01 shows up and the $25 is nowhere to be found?

    Can there be multiple accounts under one apple id?  My daughter and wife apparently share an id between my daughter's ipod and my wife's ipad.  My daughter has what she believes is her $12.01 left from a gift card.  My wife loaded a $25 gift card recently (I saw the $25 balance in her account when she was done) and after a password change, now all that shows up is the $12.01?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • HT204053 can you have multiple apple id's for the family but we all use the same iCloud?

    Can you have multiple apple id's for the family members but we all us the same iCloud account?

    You'll have to have an ID you all share in order to have a shared iCloud account. It would be sensible for each person to have their own ID and their own iCloud account for email and their own data (each would be on their own computer/iOS device or user account on a Mac) and then have a common account which everyone would sign into in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to access shared data.
    You don't want to be all using the email in a common account - if people are using email aliases remember these can't be detached from the account and transferred to another one. Having all your emails mixed up together can be somewhat impracticable.

  • HT1766 can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Hi sandexpress,
    As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
    With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
    If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Can you have different accounts (meaning different passwords, different countries/store) with the same apple ID (only one e-mail address)?

    can you have different accounts (meaning different passwords, different countries/store) with the same apple ID (only one e-mail address)?

    thank you for your reply, it is not very fair from apple, since for not using your credit card, you need to create a new account and if you do not have multiple e-mail  working , you are stuck! thanks anyway
