Multiple iCloud accounts but 1 iTunes account for 2 phones
Hi all!
My husband and I both have an iPhone 4S. We want to be able to share our apps and iTunes music but we want to keep our contacts, pictures, and iMessages separate. Is there a way we can have one iTunes accounts and have both phones on it and also have one iCloud account for each phone? I would also want my iPad to match my iPhone as well with the same iTunes and iCloud account. Is that possible? I tried to set something up like that but continue to have difficulty. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help/step by step instructions would be great! Thanks!
Kristi
For sharing purchased apps, music and books:
All Apple devices should have the purchasing Apple ID in Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: >
For all other services (iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc...) each should use their own Apple ID.

Multiple users on a itunes account how do I avoid eveyone getting my information on icloud
I have multiple users on our itunes account. If I switch to mountain lion and utilize icloud how do I avoid the other phones my kids and husband from getting all my stuff on their phones. I am the primary account holder when we first upgraded the phones all my contacts went to their phones and wiped out all of theirs it was a night mare so we just shut it off. It sounds like a cool idea but I dont want to mess up their contacts and information.
You can keep everyone on your iTunes account all you have to do is have everyone create there own iCloud account. Me, my wife, and my son all have our own iCloud for our own use. I have my 3 devices linked to mine, my son has 2 linked to his and my wife has 2 also. For some reason by default the iDevice will ask you to use your iTunes account but you don't have to. You can create it right from the device itself if you want a @me account which is the way to go IMO. you can also go to iCloud.com and create it there too. We have a total of 8 devices linked to one iTunes account for purchases and everything works like a champ. Hope this helps.

I have an apple developer account to make a new app, but I need to give access to the designer without sharing my payment info or allowing him to have access to my icloud, apps or itunes account. There is some way to have another password?
The designer is usually someone who just handles the user interface portion of the code. The developer would handle core functionality. I assumed you were the developer and the designer was the designer. You are the client and your "designer" is the developer.
Ideally, you should create a business account so that you can add someone to your team. That is the way it is supposed to work. Otherwise, you will have to ask for the final source code so that you can build and submit the app yourself. You should always have the source code regardless. You should always perform the submission under your own account too. Otherwise, it is the developer's app, not yours.
Sharing accounts is against the Apple Developer agreement anyway. The App Store Gold Rush is over. Now it is mostly zombie apps and competing fraudsters. You don't want to give someone access to your iTunes account. You really don't want to give someone access to your bank account either.
The best solution would be to convert your account to a business account. You may be able to have the developer submit the app and then transfer it to you. -
i have iphone 5 with icloud accont but isn't for me need to remove oredy erase my iphone but while activated it request enter your i cloud account plz help me
Contact whoever you purchased the phone from. That's called activation lock. There is no way to bypass it without the credentials for the account that was used to lock it.

I have an iPhone and sync it with iTunes. Just got my wife an iPhone also. Is it possible to have 2 accounts in iTunes 1 for my wife and 1 for myself? I don't want to mess up things like contacts on either phone.
The best is to create another Windows user profile(additional User Account) where each one of you can manage your own account, library, playlist Apps, Contacts etc,

I have 2 email addresses (and apple ids, icloud accounts and iTunes accounts). One is obsolete but my iPhone 6 shows it as primary. How to I change this?
See: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
If that doesn't resolve it contact Apple Account Security: Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support Or call the main Apple support number for your country and ask for the Account Security Team. -
How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?
How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?
SeanB15 wrote:
Here are more details on my situation which should help clarify things...
I purchased three iPhone 4 models back when they first came out (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is (as I understand it) that I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct without wiping out the separate contact lists, etc. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates and still be able to manage separate contact lists, etc. If I go this route, I assume we will lose all the apps on phones #2 and #3 that we have been "sharing"... correct? Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, one of you can help me??
we have 2 iphone 4's synced to the same itunes account for apps and music since the day we bought them, but each has a different icloud acct. they have both been updated on the same itunes account with every update that has come out since we bought them in december of 2010. nothing on either phone has ever been lost or duplicated. having said all that, maybe i'm missing something here, but we have had no problems. we do have itunes setup to sync manually. i do believe i'm a piker compared to lawrence finch, but i'm just telling you what happens in my house. maybe check with apple? is there a store near you? -
Since I have multiple users of my itunes account, is it possible to redeem a giftcard where only my iphone can access the redeemed money?
Yes, you can use another server for .ibooks format. You can also directly email it if your system can take the size.

Tried to upgrade os4 to os7 but could not due to "find my iphone" still turned on.
Could not turn it off at that stage so set up as new iphone. Now icloud will only accept past id email address and password which i no longer have,
but itunes on my phone has my correct current id and password. I need to restore my back up from itunes, i did not use icloud.
Any help please.
I did try yesterday but did not realise at that time that itunes had correct apple id. Hopefully this is a good thing!Thank you for your prompt reply.
I have looked at icloud.com/find numerous times and my iPad is not showing at all (see picture below). As I said I did turn off 'Find My iPhone' on my iPad and then erase all settings and data before taking it to the repair centre.
The gentleman at the repair centre said that the device won't restore because "Apple thinks that 'Find My iPhone' is still turned on" (I'm repeating what he said). -
I am very frustrated - I have made an account but itunes hasn't sent me a verificationn email - yet I received notice in my email box that I will get a response from the support team in 24 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP ME BUY SOME MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I ask, for what Up-to-date section asks you to email them a receipt? When I claimed mine I wasn't asked to provide one.
Also still waiting on my code, been 24hrs now so not expecting it any time soon. -

I recently changed my email address and have changed my Apple ID to reflect that. My itunes account will work on my PC with that new ID but my iCloud will not. Also, my iPhone will not use my new email address for either itunes or icloud. I don't know how to change it.
I read that if, on your iPhone you delete your iCloud account, you just open a new one with your new email address. Is that true, and, if you do that, do you lose your photos on your iPhone. AND, if you lose your photos on your iPhone, will they be pushed back to your iPhone if you manually sync your phone and PC?
I am hoping someone out there can help!
Thank you.If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. -
Im signed in to an account but iTunes asks me for another apple id i dont know?
Im signed in to an account on app store but iTunes asks me for another apple id i dont even know about in order to do any updates please help ?
Do you recognise the account id e.g. has anybody else downloaded apps onto your device/computer ? All apps (and other content from the store) are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account can download updates to it apps. If you downloaded those apps to your device then try logging out of your account by tapping on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your device and then log back in and see which id then shows in the Updates tab

Setting Up Multiple iPhones On One iTunes Account
Our business supplies iPhones to our technicians out in the field and I've set each phone up under the same iTunes account.
Can someone please help me out on the below things that I need to be able to manage?
I need to be able to back up each iPhone to the work iTunes account on a regular basis, so that I can restore the data if needed. (Windows pc)Is this just a matter of plugging the phones in and setting up as a new iPhone and giving each one a individual name (tech 1, tech 2 etc)? I know it will mean that they'll loose all data and I'll have to set each one up again.
I would like it if each of the phones can share any apps purchased (music is not used but some productivity apps have and will be purchased)
I need to ensure that none of the phones share any user sensitive data (messages etc)
I had a massive issue with all the phones recently - They were duplicating iMessages accross all the technicians phones.
I've rectified this by disabling iMessages, but is there some way i can allow them to have iMessage without all the phones (which are on the same work iTunes account) duplicating messages or any other user sensitive data?
Thanks in advance!Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers. I have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.
