1 Apple ID and 2 iCloud accounts.

I want to have 1 Apple ID for 2 iPhone 6's. But I also want to have separate iCloud accounts for each phone. I can't seem to create a new iCloud account without having to create a new apple ID. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes you need to create a new iCloud ID (which is an Apple ID)

thank you so much!!!!
Well, yeah. You want to create separate accounts for each of you, using individual Apple IDs. I know mothers and daughters like to share clothes, shoes, handbags, etc. but don't share Apple IDs.

HT204053 I have one apple ID and 2 iCloud accounts...is there a way to consolidate these accounts?

I have one apple ID , but two icloud accounts....not even sure why i have 2 now....might have happened when i got my iPad last year. Is there a way to consolidate the two icloud accounts without losing my contacts or other info?

Each iCloud account has a separate ID. You can't have two accounts with the same ID.
If you want to consolidate them, choose the device with the account on it that you want to abandon, then save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with the account that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your other account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide your password (if using iOS 7) and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign into the account you want to merge with and choose Merge when prompted.
You cannot move iCloud email accounts between iCloud accounts so you will have to leave it behind. You can set email forwarding to the new email account, or add the email account back to your devices as a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCoud, signing in to the account and enabling Mail. Email in this secondary account will only be fetched periodically as push email is only supported in your primary account.

Can I have one apple ID and two iCloud accounts for different devices.

can I have one apple I'd and numerous iCloud accounts for different devices?

Yes you can, you just need to go into settings and into icloud, once it says account, login to your desired account

How can I have one "family" Apple ID and two icloud accounts one for me and one for the wife?

MacVirgin!Just got new Air and iMac (iphones on the way). How can I have one Apple ID but two iCloud accounts (one for me and one for my wife)? I have set up one iCloud account and am attempting to share contacts between iMac, iCloud and Air, however iMac and iCloud are not in sync? I must be missing something very simple.

ok. I set up the imac and Air with one user account. this was used to activae iCloud on both machines and I have now se up one iCloud account and managed to share calander and contacts between the two. Ultimately both me and my wife will have an iphone and we wish to share calenders and contacts. We both also use the imac and air on one user account. It looks like I need to set another user account then activate iCloud in my wifes Apple ID

HT201320 Changed apple ID and my icloud account. Ever since this change, I am unable to access my email?

I changed my apple ID and my icould account. Ever since this change, i am unable to access my email. everytime i open my Yahoo Inbox, I get this msg saying "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed". but 'm on wifi and can access all sorts of pages and games. My Cellular data for my email is "on"
The email opens but it does not upload new emails.

If you use iCloud as well, you can try adding it back to your accounts as well. I have 7 email accounts (including iCloud and a Yahoo account) in mail on my iPhone and iPad and have no problems with them. I suspect it was not removing iCloud that fixed your problem, it was the re-entering the Yahoo account login credentials (maybe they just got corrupted - could be as simple as that).
If you do add iCloud back, and it causes problems right away with your Yahoo, then you should send a ticket in to the iCloud support folks as that would seem to be something not working correctly?

Also if you actually deleted the iCloud account, remember you can keep the account, and just disable it for mail in the iCloud settings (so you can keep using iCloud for other features even if you do not want to use iCloud mail).

Shared Apple ID, but separate iCloud accounts

Right now, my wife and I share both an Apple ID and an iCloud account. I will soon be buying a new MBP for my new business. I'd like to move my contacts and calendars over to iCloud from Google. But, my wife currently keeps her contacts in iCloud. Can I create a separate iCloud account for myself while still sharing the Apple ID so we can share apps?
Thanks

On an iDevice or a Mac you can always chose another account for the uTunes store for sharing your apps. Take a new iCloud account for yourself for all other things than the iTunes/MacAppStore.

I changed my Apple ID for an iphone 4s and need to change the iCloud Apple ID/password. I am unable to change the Apple ID under the iCloud account information without the password which no longer exists. How can I update my phone?

I had to change the Apple ID used for my iphone 4s. How do I change the Apple ID for the iCloud information? - the old Apple ID/password no longer exists and this information is requested to make a change. I am unable to change the Apple ID for the iCloud account.

Apple IDs never go away, so it still exists.
But lets be clear. You actually stopped using an Apple ID and created a NEW Apple ID. You didn't just change the email address of your Apple ID? That means that all of the music and apps purchased with the old Apple ID will have to be purchased again.
If you really did create a new Apple ID you will need the password associated with the old one to disable Activation Lock. There is no way around this. As I said, the old one still exists. You can use the standard tools to recover the password at https://appleid.apple.com.

TS4425 How do you agree to the latest iCloud Terms of Service if you don't have an iOS device only a Mac computer and an Apple TV with an iCloud account?

Part 2
Thanks for the feedback Skhorchid. Glad it worked for you too.
A bit later I discovered that Photo Stream was not working on my Windows 7 PC either. If I opened the iCloud control panel and put a check in the box to turn on Photo Stream, and then closed and reopened the control panel, the check mark was gone again. Also, nothing happened when I clicked on the options button beside the Photo Stream check box. I already had version 2 of the iCloud control panel so I could not upgrade further.
I ended up uninstalling the iCloud control panel, rebooting, downloading a fresh copy from Apple, and reinstalling it. This worked and I now have photo stream working on my Windows 7 system as well.

HT5622 valid apple id but not icloud account. I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work. I have restarted my computer several times. I have changed my password several times. I have tried to access the icloud page.

repeating error message reads: "valid apple id but not icloud account." when trying to start my icloud account. I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work. I have restarted my computer several times. I have changed my password several times. I have tried to access the icloud page. Nothing has worked. Now I have this stupid app and some of my music is still not being shared on both of my computers.

I have the same problem signing in...but, I finally got a screen saying you have to set up a account on a device..like an ipad to get a iCloud sign in ...my apple id is [email protected] and this screen reset to [email protected]
If you don't have an apple device you may be out of luck. I don't know. I'm still waiting for help just as you are...good luck to both of us though.

I put the wrong apple id on my icloud account information and it will not back-up. how do I update account information

Hello there, vanzbd.
The following Knowledge Base article has the information you are looking for:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Specifically:
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account
Once you've performed this step go back to Settings and add the correct iCloud account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

My iCloud account name was inputted incorrectly when my iPhone was set up. I made a new iCloud account but my phone still automatically loads the old and unusable iCloud account. How can I update my phone to load the new and correct account?

My iCloud account name was inputted incorrectly during initial phone set up. I created another iCloud account name but it is still the old and wrong iCloud account that automatically loads whenever I access the iCloud tab on my phone. How do I replace it my new and correct account name?

She won't after the change.
Note you can use the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > here to share purchased music, apps and books.
Other than that each of you should use your own Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game Center, etc.

I have an Apple id and an icloud idea, do they work together?

I just got a new laptop, I downloaded icloud and it told me to make an icloud acount. My apple account is just a user name not an e-mail. icloud wnated me to use an e-mail for the username so now I have two accounts, and apple id and an icloud id. Can these work together? I would like to backup my music and what not to icloud because when I sync my iphone to my new computer it wants to delete all the stuff. Though when I open icloud on my computer I dont see anything about music or apps. I'm just very confused about how all this works. All I want to do is put music on my iphone from my new computer without losing all the stuff I have now. I don't get how icloud works either.

Did you already activate iCloud on your IOS device using that same apple ID?
"To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iOS 5, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7"

HT204053 two apple id for one iCloud account

Is it possible to assign two Apple IDs to one iCloud account? I don't want to have separate ones for my wife and I...
Thanks,
John

No, each account requires its own Apple ID. Why is it that you do not wish to have separate iCloud accounts, this is generally the best way of doing things.

HT204053 I changed my Apple ID and my icloud storage in my IPad was not transferred to my new ID, how can you help me?

I changed my Apple ID and my icloud storage was not transferred to the new one, how can I retrieve it?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. However, with iOS 7, you must provide the password for the old ID to turn of Find My iPhone before you can delete the account.
If the old ID 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 iPhone on your device, 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.

1 Apple ID and 2 iCloud accounts.
