HT204053 I only have one e-mail, how do I set up separate apple IDs for three family members ?

How do I create apple IdS for three family members with the same e-mail? They are kids and have no e-mail.

You can configure a new email address for them using the @cloud.com server suffix. Do that when you open an iCloud account for each and set up the separate Apple IDs that will each be tied to a different email address.

  • Should I have different Apple IDs for different family members or one?

    We are four members in a family, sharing the same iMac computer but each having a separate device (such as an iPod, iPad and iPhone). I'm wondering if it would be best to have separate Apple IDs for each family member to manage things like iMessage, iTunes purchases and so on. I'd appreciate any advice you can provide. Cheers!

    The ideal would be to have different Apple IDs for each member. This will allow them to set up their accounts as they like and be able to use iCloud without worrying about the possibility that other members can see their personal data. However, if you want to purchase an app for all the members, you will have to purchase it for each account

  • HT204053 What are the pros and cons of 1) choosing to use the SAME Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or 2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides

    All is in the title, so I repeat it below with a better identation.
    What are the pros and cons of
    1) choosing to use the SAME
                                                  Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and
                                                  purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or
    2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides"?
    P.S.
    I have loads and loads of free podcasts in iTunes in my iMac, that are certainly more thant the 5 gigas the iCloud provides for free, so I don't want those to go to the cloud. But this is perhaps a different question...
    Also need to mention that I have itunes on a mac, a pc and an iphone.
    Sorry to look so silly with this question, but I don't get the "big picture".

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

    If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
    If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

  • HT201272 If I create separate Apple IDs for my children, will they still be able to access content I have purchased on their iPhones and iPads?

    If I create separate Apple IDs for my children, will they still be able to access content I have purchased on their iPhones and iPads?

    I happened to stop at the Apple store yesterday for a separate issue and had a discussion about iCloud. Seems like this is how iCloud works (also, there's another thread on this forum that explains it well).
    Each member of the family can have their own iCloud ID, which will be used for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Apps, Bookmarks, Media, Photos, etc. and having this content synced automatically with a Mac (computer). The iCloud IDs work in tandem with the associated Apple ID — so while you cannot have multiple Apple IDs, you can certainly have multiple iCloud IDs tagged with a certain Apple ID.
    While all this makes sense from the iOS device standpoint, I'm unclear on how things will sync with a Mac computer, especially if the family uses a single iMac with multiple login IDs for various members. For instance, I currently have an iMac and iTunes content resides in my Public folder, which my wife can still access when she logs in with her login ID. I'm guessing that I'll be able to set up her iCloud ID using her login, set up my iCloud ID using my login, while both our iMac logins will retain the same Apple ID. This would take care of syncing Photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc.
    Another (not sure if unique) problem I face is our Address Book — right now, we have one GIANT address book with different groups set up. Certain groups sync to her iPhone, while others to mine. Some contacts are common between both of us. I'm hoping that if she/I updates a common contact, then the change will be reflected in both our groups of contacts. I hope this makes sense — for instance, I update a contact named Joe, and he's on my group of contacts in my iPhone. Hope iCloud updates the master contact card for Joe on the iMac, which would then automatically trigger the update on my wife's group of contacts—that Joe also belongs to— leading to an update on her iOS device as well.
    Apologies for the lengthy response..

  • How do I get separate iCloud accounts for each family members device and still share iTunes?

    how do I get separate iCloud's for each family members iPhone, iPod and iPad and still share iTunes?

    Have everyone share the same iTunes store ID, but use separate IDs for iCloud.  The ID you use for iCloud does not have to be the same as the ID you use for the iTunes & App store.

  • HT2731 How do I set up an Apple ID for a child with gift card credit

    How do I set up an Apple ID for a chld with a gift card credit, without credit card details and without using my own account?

    Go to the main iTunes Store page (within iTunes),  click on the "Redeem" link on the right side of the page, click "Create Apple ID", and enter in the code from your card when requested. You should be able to create an iTunes Store account for your child without needing a credit card. You'll just need an email address for him/her to create the ID, though it can be a "temporary" one that you don't intend to really be used. You can change the email address to which receipts are sent to an account you really wish to use.
    Regards.

    How can i use 2 different apple ids for imessage and facetime on 1 ipad?

    Do you mean can you use one Apple ID for FaceTime and one for iMessage? You should be able to. Or, do you mean, can you log into iMessage (or FaceTime) with two Apple IDs at once? No.

    I have 2 email addresses (1 mac.and 1 blueyonder.) each with separate identities and passwords. I am forever getting asked to verify identity and/or passwords and having these refused and me then having to set up new ones. Can I combine my email addresses to a single Apple Identity and Password? If yes then How?
    Any help much appreciated as this is driving me crazy!

    Depending on what you're asking...
    There is no means to merge Apple IDs.  You can change the mail address assocaited with your Apple ID, so you might switch to using and purchasing from one email address, and using the second as a backup.  (There's no means to merge the purchases, and related baggage.)
    While I'm guessing this was about Apple IDs, for completeness...  Combining the mail messages involving multiple email addresses is separate from the Apple ID; that is usually done with some combination of notifying the senders or with the forwarding of messages from one mail server to the preferred server.  Or running multiple mail accounts in parallel, depending on what you are up to.

  • Just got 4 new iPads, Do I need separate Apple IDs for each one?

    Right now I have 3 iPods and 2 iPhones connected to my PC using 1 Apple ID.
    Question: I just purchased 4 new iPads. One of the iPads is for me and the 3 others are for my children. Should I setup the 4 new iPads under my existing Apple ID or should set up a new Apple ID for EACH of the new iPads?

    It would be a good idea to set up separate apple ID's for each. One reason is just to avoid any confusion over anything such as icloud synchronisation. Spending on your credit card so maybe purchase gift cards for their accounts so they have some money to spend on apps. It could cause a few problems mainly due to icloud, photos syncing, password synchonisation and it only takes a few minutes to set up an account. If you don't want to put a credit card on their accounts you can set it up without an account but i'd suggest using a computer to set it up as in my experience i couldnt set up an account without a card on an iphone or ipad etc.
    you could put your card on their ipads and enforce a restriction on buying apps where you would need to enter a code to authorise it.
    Hope it helps

  • IPhone 4. Text Messages now go to roommate's phone instead of mine! We have shared apple ID all along, now it is a problem. How do I get my messages to my phone ONLY, and how do I set up an apple id for him on his phone?

    how do I change apple id on Iphone 4?

    There seem to be 2 different questions. To share an Apple ID but get separate iMessages go to Settings/Messages and uncheck all of the options except your phone number (and/or email address).
    To use a separate Apple ID JUST for iMessage go to Settings/Messages, log out, then log in creating a new Apple ID. You can still share the Apple ID for purchases.
