HT4436 I ended up with two icloud accounts.  They have different purchases.  How do I combine them?

I have two iCloud accounts, Each has different purchases on them.  One was before I got married the other after, with a different email account With my new last name.  How can I combine these together? 

Unfortunately you cannot merge two different Apple IDs and combine purchases in just one account. Apple does not let you do that. (See also: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622?viewlocale=en_US)

  • Reminders App does not work on Yosemite with two iCloud accounts.

    The Reminders App does not work on Yosemite (10.10.1) with two iCloud accounts. It seems like when there are two iCloud accounts connected in Yosemite (10.10.1) the plist file for Reminders disappears.
    I have tried restarting Reminders; restarting the mac; starting the mac in recovery mode to repair the disk and disk permissions; and starting the mac in recovery mode and reinstalling OSX.

    Yes sharing Reminders list works. The problem is, I have one shared iCloud account with a colleague (shared calendar, Reminders and email). It makes it easier to run our business with a single shared iCloud account...I know it's not the typical usage.

  • I ended up with 2 iCloud accounts during iCloud set up.  How do I consolidate to 1?

    During the iCloud creation process, I somehow ended up with 2 iCloud accounts.  1 account for my iMac and another for my IOS devices.  How do I point my iMac to the iCloud account created for my iOS devices?

    On your iMac, click on the Apple icon in the menu bar, select "System Preferences", select "iCloud", select "Sing out" and then sign-in with the iOS account.
    Does this help ?
    Kind regards,

  • My iCloud and FaceTime accounts are different.  How can I combine them?

    My iCloud and FaceTime accounts are different.  How can I combine them so I can make calls from my macbook pro.  One is my me.com account and one is another email account. Thank you

    You should have purchased an external hard drive and backed up your entire system and important data before bringing it into an Apple Store to gave them do what you had them do.
    If you had any important data, like photos, personal videos, important documents, large music library, etc and had lost all of this by having Apple "clean out" your Mac, without a backup of this data, you would have lost everything on your Mac that was important to you.

  • I want to share my itunes with my daughters iPad, we have different usernames, how am I able so she can select tunes individually to transfer

    i want to share my itunes on my I mac with my daughters iPad, we have different usernames, how am I able so she can select tunes individually to transfer to her ipad

    You can sync multiple I tunes account from the same mac.  You will need to authorize the account on the mac.  Then you can share tunes and books across devices.  just take you time when you connect and make sure you are setting up the sync criteria for the right device. 
    If you share apps, the originating itunes account goes with the app, so updating can get problematic, but it is pretty seamless with tunes and books. 
    You can also sync photos from the same master i photo system.
    On each devise, you identify what you want to sync, and I tunes will remember them as seperate entries, so the next time you plug it, it will be starting from what you selected last time.

  • HT4436 Can i set up two icloud accounts to same computer?

    Can i set up two icloud accounts to the same pc? If so can i have it so i dont have to log into or switch accounts for stuff to transfer to my computer?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    At the moment you can only use one iCloud account, per user account, on your computer.

  • HT1296 can i use one outlook account with two icloud accounts

    I am running MS outlook 2010 on Windows XP platform and my wife and I both have iCloud accounts.  I wanted to know whether or not both iCloud accounts could be automatically synced with my MS Outlook contacts/calendars. 
    I have no problem using one account at a time but hate the idea of having to toggle between the two accounts to keep outlook current.
    Thank you.

    Yes you can, iTunes will identify your phone by serial number and phone number.
    Best if you can to set different name to your phone under SETTINGS/GENERAL/ABOUT/Name and to name like e.g. iphone3G and the other iPhone 4s.
    So everytime you sync, itunes will backup your phone's contents and data and you will be able to identify from the backup files correctly in future.

  • Can a Pages document be shared with two iCloud accounts?

    Is there any way that a Pages document could be shared automatically between two
    different iCloud accounts?
    iCloud gets my documents to all of the devices with my iCloud id.
    Now I need to share it with someone with a different iCloud id.
    Thanks.

    You should each use your own icloud accounts, not the same one.  You can share calendars, and you can each the other account as a secondary account.
    You can set up a secondary iCloud account in system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars, click to add a new account, choose iCloud, click the 'create ID' button.

  • One apple account with two icloud accounts

    Our family has 5 devices on our apple account?  I recently upgraded to 5c and found out we do not have enough memory in icloud for everything.  Apple store said set up a new icloud account for my phone only.  Done but now everyone else is now on my cloud.  Can u have multiple iCloud's on one apple account?

    Each iCloud account has a unique ID.  If you want a separate iCloud account you would need to create it using a different Apple ID.  You can continue to share the same ID for other services such as iTunes; the ID for these services does not need to be the same as your iCloud ID.  It's recommended, however, that you do not share the same ID for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls on your devices.

  • How can I manage 2 iPhones with two iCloud accounts on one PC?

    Once, we had an IPhone and a Windows Phone - calendars from both were sync'd via Outlook and life was simple. Having just migrated the Windows Phone to iPhone 5s it seems that iCloud will not allow more than one Apple ID and the Control Panel cannot switch between two different iCloud accounts.
    Another post has suggested turning off iCloud options but I am concerned the apps and other purchased data will be deleted and the control panel 3.1 has limited options that do not appear to match the 3 year old post
    Any simple solution available?

    On a Mac you would simply create a separate user account for her, and she would sign into her account within her user account.  Presumably this would work the same way on a PC.

  • HT204053 Set up Find my Mac with two iCloud accounts, same iTunes account?

    My wife and I use the same iTunes store account, but separate iCloud accounts.  When I try to add "Find my Mac" on her Macbook Air, it indicates that only my user ID can use that service.  How can I put her computer on her iCloud account, so that we can see each others' devices with Find my Friends?

    Thanks for the reply, Winston. I understand the difference between the apps.  I was trying to add the "Find My Mac" service on my wife's MacBook Air through her iCloud account in the iCloud account settings. She has a different Apple ID for her iCloud account so that we can manage backups, calendar sharing, and other iCloud features separately. We use the same Apple ID iTunes Store account so that we can share app, book, and music purchased on our devices.  This option was made available in iOS 6.
    I thought that I would be able to add "Find my Mac" on her MacBook Air using her iCloud account. However, when we tried to do this, it indicated that her MacBook Air was associated with my account ( I have the same Apple ID for my iTunes and and iCloud accounts. ) As a result, I see her MacBook Air as one of my devices in "Find my iPhone", and she has to use "Find my Friends" to see her computer.  Find my Friends is currently only available for iOS, so she can's see her computer location from icloud.com unless she logs into my iCloud account. 

  • Need two icloud accounts, but have only one itunes account

    My daughters iPhone 4 has to have work done and we were told by our phone provider that we had to back her phone up on iCloud before we
    get to our Apple store appt. The issue is, we both use the same iTunes account but I need to save our phones on two different iCloud accounts.
    I don't want my contacts and pictures on her phone nor do I want her stuff on mine. Was told it can be done but everthing I am seeing says it can't
    be done.
    Thanks,
    ACMyers

    You can set up a separate iCloud account for your daughter using a separate Apple ID and continue to use the same iTunes account.  The ID you use for iCloud does not need to be the same as the one you use for iCloud.
    Just go to Settings>iCloud on her phone and sign in with a separate ID, then turn her data syncing to On, as well as iCloud Backup.  As an addiditonal precaution, I would recommend she also import her photos to your computer for safekeeping if possible.  This does not involve syscing with iTunes, but instead is done as described in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    After backing up to iCloud, be sure to confirm the backup was successful before sending in her phone.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and scroll to the very bottom.  It will indicate the time of the last iCloud backup under Back Up Now if it was completed successfully.
