How to create 2 icloud accounts with one apple id

I would like to find out how to create 2 iCloud accounts using the same apple id. Currently, my husband's iphone4S and my iPhone 4 have merged contacts which we don't want, and when he texts it shows that it is from me.

You can't do that.  One of you will have to create a new icloud account with a new ID and connect the device to it.
TO GET DATA FROM ONE ACCOUNT TO A NEW ACCOUNT:
When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
NOTE:  Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account.  It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch. 
CREATING A NEW ID:
Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want.  But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud.  Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to

  • Multiple iCloud accounts with one Apple ID?

    We have 4 iOS devices in our household (2 iPhones, 2 iPads). We share the same Apple ID. Can we have more than 1 iCloud account with one Apple ID?
    We do not want to share our Calendars and Reminders.
    Thanks!

    Set up your mac.com account again on devices.  Turn off Mail and other data syncing with this account on your wife's devices for data that you want to keep separate.  Then set up a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your wife's devices to sync Mail.
    If you already set up a separate iCloud account on your wife's devices, on her devices go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in your your mac.com ID.  Turn on the data you want to share with this account across all devices; don't turn Mail on.  Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter her separate iCloud credentials and turn Mail to On.
    The only downside to this approach is that her email will be fetch, not push email.  Push email is only supported in the main ("primary") account, not a secondary account.
    The limitations to be aware of with secondary accounts are that only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My Device.  Also, push mail only works for the primary account; secondary account mail is fetch.

  • 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.

  • I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Whenever you use your Apple ID to sign into iCloud it's always the same account so to speak.

    To enable iCloud on your Windows PC,
    first set up iCloud on your other (Apple) devices,
    then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows...

    iCloud setup with one Apple ID and multiple devices

    What, exactly, are you trying to do? You can use the same iCloud account on as many devices as you want, as long as you don't turn on iTunes Match. Once you turn on Match, you're limited to 10 devices total.
    Is this what you want to do...same iCloud account, but different iTunes/App store accounts on each device? If so, you can do that also.

  • HT4436 How to I create more than one iCloud account under one apple id?

    I was told at the apple store that I could create more than one iCloud account under the same apple id. Does anyone know how to do this? I need to make three iCloud accounts so everyone doesn't get each other contacts and notifications.

    No: but it costs nothing to create another Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with that. The only caveat is that you must associate a different email address with the new Apple ID from that with the old ID (since the address will itself become the ID) - you could open a free email address with Yahoo or Gmail.

  • Can not create icloud account with valid Appleid

    Hi, I´m trying to create an icloud account with the Appleid I use with itunes, but I get an error message saying that the Appleid is valid but it doesn´t corrrespond to an icloud account (this is in the icloud control panel). I would appreciate assistance.

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID.  You can only sign into an existing iCloud account on a PC.  You first have to create your iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

  • I need to allign my icloud account with my apple id account

    As a new iphone user I set up the icloud account with an email account that I shouldn't have. Then I found that I had an old appleid account, and I used another email. Now I discover a problem, when I try to log in with a pc using itunes and the icloud control panel. I try to use the apple id, and it errors as it tries to log in to icloud services (because of having used another email address in the first step above).
    Now, the problem is, how to correct this? I can log into apple id management, but I can't log in to icloud on the pc. On the iphone, I see it is still using the old email. Should I delete the whole icloud account from the iphone (which uses the wrong email and password)? Would that allow me to set up icloud on the iphone again, using the correct apple id email account?
    Or is there some better way? I just want to make the icloud account to use the correct email (same as apple id) but can't find an obvious way to do this.

    Answer found by calling a technician. I needed to delete the icloud account on the iphone, but the delete account was not visible to me at first. It was a control below the bottom of the screen in the general preference>icloud page. Once I scrolled down to it, I saw the delete account button. After deleting the account, I had the option to remake it with the correct email.
    Still, it was interesting to assess the responsiveness of this community.
