HT4436 can I have multiple icloud accounts on one device

can I have multiple icoud accounts on one device (ipad)?

Are you sure only primary account can use Find my iPhone?
I added a secondary account to my daughters iphone and was able to use it for Find my iPhone.
It warns you that the Find my iphone service will be disabled on the other icloud account.
I think this is a good change so I can use a single account to track all the devices.
Looks like only photostream and documents/data are tied to the primary account.

Can I have two iCloud accounts on one IPad?

Yes, you can add a second ("secondary") iCloud to a device as mendi1 stated. There are some limitations with secondary iCloud accounts. Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, syncing Bookmarks and Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My iDevice. Also push email only works in the primary account; only fetch mail is supported in a secondary account. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020.

HT204053 can I have multiple icloud accounts for one apple id?

I have multiple people in my family using our original apple id . As they have gotten iphones, macbooks, etc they register there devices under our originale apple id. over the holidays when my youngest child got her ipod touch and registered it for icloud, two of the children now are seeing each others texts? Is there a way to use the same apple id for the family and have seperate icloud accounts for each person or should we have a seperate apple id for each person?

Yes but the issue with receiving each other's text messages is not being caused by sharing the same iCloud account. To fix this, each person needs to be using a separate Apple ID for iMessage on their devices. (Note: you can continue to use the same iTunes account on all your devices but each person should use a different ID for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime). There are a couple of things you need to do to sort all this out.
First decide who will be keeping the current ID for all services. On the device(s) belonging to the other people in your family, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in with a saparate ID for each person. After doing so you will no longer be getting each other's messages on your devices.
Next, to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
For iCloud, to avoid having merged data by syncing with the same iCloud account you will need to migrate each person to their own iCloud account. To do this, first decide who will be keeping the current account. On the other devices go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from the device, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the current account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My [iDevice]. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID on the device(s) belonging to each person. Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data in your iCloud accounts you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

Can you have 2 iCloud accounts on one device, i would like to share photo stream with my wife but not calendar, contacts

How do you setup 2 icloud accounts on one phone. I would like to do that to separate contacts/calendars from photo stream. I have a shared photo library that i would like to be able to access from each phone. How do you do it?
Thanks.

I don't think there is a method cause when you have 2 iCloud account you double the memory given by them (5gb) and if you want more memory you have to pay so I don't think apple might have a loop in that :p bu if you want to share pics then you can always use luthoot enabled apps

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, your ID is essentially your account. You can have email aliases and you can have multiple accounts, but I don't think that's what you are asking.

Can I have multiple iCloud accounts?

If I can have multiple iCloud accounts, where and how do I set the up? I cannot find the option under the iCloud settings in system preferences. I have a personal and two different work emails with calendars I would like to sync.

I believe if you go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars you can set up another iCloud account, but I believe you can only sync data between one account at a time.
You can set up two iCloud accounts separately for iCloud mail and syncing and another for iTunes Purchases, and Apple has an article out for this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895

Do all the computers require the same apple ID to share all the files?? Can i have two apple accounts on one device

Neither of those Apps allow you to (easily) add iWork documents created or edited on the device to your online storage, you need to be using a webDAV server to be able to do that. In fact pretty much all you can add from the iOS device is photos and video without resorting to convoluted workarounds, intermediate apps or emailing finished documents to yourself. You can on the other hand view most of the content of dropbox/sugarsync through those apps, which in a lot of circumstances is useful, but without it working in both directions these apps are far from an ideal solution.
E.g from the sugarsync website
Yes, this may not be of too much interest to the OP, I was only trying to clarify the situation with iCloud.com/iWork for you.
However that being said, there may be areas of interest for Computer to Computer syncing, given the recent changes made to iCloud.com/iWork. I wouldn't suggest iCloud sharing for archived documents, but for perhaps up to a couple of dozen documents in progress, iCloud sharing is now quite viable. If there is any chance at all of these documents being accessed on an iOS device then iCloud would become a preferred option to dropbox or sugarsync.

If we share one iTunes account can we have multiple iCloud accounts?

My children and I share one iTunes account. Can each one of us have our own iCloud account. We upgreaded the IOS and my daughter ended up with my contacts and hers. She deleted mine and now they are all gone. I want to avoid this issue in the future.

First decide which device(s) will keep the existing account. On the others all you have to do is go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then set up a new account with a new ID and turn iCloud syncing for your data back to On. When prompted, choose merge. Deleting the accout will only remove it from the device, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will continue to use the existing account will not be effected by this.
However, if any of the devices is still syncing data with the account, before deleting the account you must go to Settings>iCloud and turn syncing to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the device (otherwise it will be deleted from the device when you delete the account), the set up the new account, turn syncing back to On, and when prompted, choose merge to upload the data to the new account.
After each device has it's own account, if you have any merged data in any of the accounts you will need to go to icloud.com, sign into them separately and manually delete the unwanted data.

Can I have multiple ICloud accounts sync to one computer? Strictly looking to have 2 photostreams save to one computer.

My wife and I both have Iphones and Ipads but seperate Icloud accounts. I would like to utilize the photostream capabilites of the icloud desktop client to view pictures on our home pc and back them up. Is there anyway to do this? will this be added in the future?
thanks,

update to this question...
I can't turn on automatic downloads on my iTunes as it is already associated with my account and if I chang it to hers, then I can't change it again for 90 days :-( so bascially, I guess while I can have two accounts authorised on my computer, so that it can play music videos etc... there is no easy way to get this content between my computers.
So bascially back to where I was when I used to try and use Syncopation and various other products to get music purchases synced between all computers - it never worked very well, tried various products etc but not really much luck and no help with books, apps etc...
I really do not think that Apple has though thru multi person/family support in the iTunes store and frankly getting pretty fed up with it.
They have limited it to 5 computers, I don't see why there have to be these additional restrictions all the time, or why they won't fold two accounts into one.
It's starting to look like £10 per month for Spotify premium may be a better deal now that you can download music from there... I spend a lot on the iTunes store but I am going to have to rethink that if there isn't an answer to easily allow my wife and I to share what we purchase.

Can you have multiple Itunes accounts on one computer?

I just bought a new IPhone. my husband and I had HTC phones but I wanted to go Apple so i could have my own itunes account. He has a IPod and doesnt desire an IPhone. My computer has my husbands ITunes. How can I use my computer for MY ITunes account?

"Won't it present problems if the daughter needs to reauthorize the computer for her own use before 90 days,"
No. The 90 day limit ONLY applies to redownloading purchases from iTunes..
So if she were to redownload purchases from the father's account then she'd have to wait 90 days to redownload form her own account. and the computer can be authorized for multiple iTunes account (pretty sure it's 5) . You don't need to later reauthorize for first account if you authorize for a different account.
More discussion on 90 day wait period - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6094005 - disable automatic downloads so message doesn't appear when using multiple accounts.
Most people don't see the "re"

How can I have 2 icloud accounts on one computer?

My wife and I both have Iphones and only one computer. We were curious if it is possible to setup up two icloud accounts on the one computer? This would be so we can have the photostream setup up on the computer so we don't always have to sign in and out of the icloud application.

Setup 2 computer user accounts, then setup iCloud in each user account.
