2 iphone 5's, 1 itunes account to share music; how do you set up 2 icloud accounts using one MacBookPro?

My wife and I each purchased the iphone 5 and we share an itunes account. How do I sync our iphones to our MacBookPro so we each have our own iCloud account (contacts, calendars, etc.)? We want to be able to share the itunes music on our computer.

If you are sycing your contacts and calendars with iCloud, don't sync them with your computer using iTunes. If you sync with both iCloud and iTunes this will cause duplicates. If you want to keep your contacts, calendar, etc. separated rather than merged, be sure to set up separate iCloud accounts on both phones using different Apple IDs. You can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing music, apps, etc.; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud, iMessage or other services.
In terms of syncing your music and other non-iCloud data with the same computer, this article will explain different options depending on how you want to set it up: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495.

How do i set up multiple iCloud accounts on the same mac?

how do i set up multiple iCloud accounts on the same mac?

Interesting - I was sure I'd seen a note somewhere that it was only Mail, but this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020
does say
Your secondary iCloud accounts can be set up and viewed in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on your iOS device, or Apple () menu > System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on OS X Lion. You may choose to do this if you have a second iCloud account and need to access its Mail, Contacts, or Calendar data.
Note: While you can configure multiple iCloud Mail accounts in iOS, Push mail will only work for the primary iCloud account in iOS. Secondary account(s) will check for mail based on the settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data.
It's not something I can test - I suppose the second account's data gets added to the lists in iCal and Address Book?

How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

As currently designed, you cannot. Once iCloud detects you are on mobile Safari, it switches you to the iPad screen.
If you had another browser that would allow you to pretend you were a desktop Safari client, ie8 or 9, or Firefox, that might work.
But, Puffin and Opera mini don't work.

help, how do I set up an icloud account on my macbook pro with 10.6.8 — all it has is "mobile me" under internet and wireless on my system doc????

You should check that your Mac meets the requirements for upgrading.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

If it's a free gmail account, you don't. Google no longer permits free accounts to be set up using Exchange Active Sync. Only paid google apps accounts can be set up as Exchange accounts.

How do you join together two iCloud accounts?

How do you join together two iCloud accounts of mine?

You would need to export the data from one account, using the respective apps, sign out of it, sign into the other, and import the data.
Alternately, you can setup the other account as a secondary icloud account in sys prefs >> internet accounts. A secondary account is limited compared to the main one, though.
Actual merging the Apple ID/icloud accounts, as stated, is not possible.

How can I set up two iCloud accounts

I want to set up two different iCloud accounts for my wife and I. We both use the same account for buying apps but we want different iCloud accounts. How do I do that? Can I do that? Thanks for the help!

You can set up separate iCloud accounts for each of you and sign into your account on both your iPhone and iPad.
To change the account on her phone, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. (This only deletes the account from her phone; not from iCloud.) Then sign in with a different ID to create her new account (and use this ID for iMessage and FaceTime too). After setting up the account on her phone, she can then sign in with the same ID on her iPad to sync iCloud data between her devices.
You can then sign into you iCloud account using your ID on your devices, and both of you can continue to share the same ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores.

HT4528 How do I set up separate icloud accounts on two phones with one apple id?

How did you set up your spouses account?

How did you set up your spouses iOS device, iCloud account, etc? And what do you recommend?
My wife and I have one iMac we share (with two login accounts - so basically two computers), an iPad, and two iPhones. Since there are certain things we really like to share between accounts (PhotoStream, Find My iPhone, Documents/iCloud Drive), we've shared the same master iCloud account for the last few years. This has had some drawbacks with things we *don't* want to share, such as we now have to sync our Safari bookmarks, and our keychain/logins for personal websites sometimes overlap, or the "Recent Contacts" shows the last people my wife contacted, not mine, etc.
The pros have outweighed the cons, but it has always left me wanting.
And now that things have changed a bit with iOS 8 and iCloud Drive, Handoff, and Family Plan. I figured now would be a good time to revisit our setup and what would work best for our family. (Of course, this might be a bit premature, with the looming new Photos App from Apple coming, that might make us buy storage in iCloud, but if you have any forethoughts into that, I'd appreciate hearing them!)

You may wish to look at alternatives to sharing the items you've been sharing. For example, you could use shared streams instead of my photo stream, in many ways it might be better, that way you share selected items rather than everything. You really don't need to share Find my phone, you can still use find my phone to find a device associated with any account if you sign in with that account, if you want to see where someone is find friends is a much better choice. You can also share links to iWork documents using iCloud document by document.

How do I set up different icloud accounts for each family member and make them able to access them on our common mac using their user name on the mac. I am doing this to make sure kids don't get access to our messages.

We have several apple products in the family. I would like to set up different icloud accounts for each memeber. I lately noticed having activated different devices with same icloud account that each device can access everyones messages by going in their settings and clicking which number or email they want to use to see messages. Let me make sure I am understood, on my sons ipod in his messages settings he can switch to my cell number and see all my messages. Re setting the devices isn't my great issue but can i set up each kids user account on my mac to their individual icloud accounts?
Thanks!

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

TS4403 My Apple ID is not an icloud account. How do I set up an icloud account?

I am trying to set up an icloud account on a Win7PC, so I can share photos with my family who are on ipads. I have followed the instructions several times on how to get started on icloud, how to set up an Apple ID (which I was able to do), and I just go round in circles when I get to the iCloud dashboard. The same message My Applie ID is not an iCloud account. The 'Learn More' button doesnt take you anyway, as far as I can tell, and the 'Learn More about iCloud' takes you to the iCloud page for trouble shooting, which presumes that you already have an icloud account, since it doesnt tell you what to do to resolve the error message that I have.
Any advice much appreciated.

To use iCloud, you must first set it up on an iOS device or a Mac.

TS4006 can you set up an icloud account on a phone remotely

My daughter has lost her phone and I just found out that she never set up an icloud account. So I cannot use the "find my iphone" app. Is there anyway to set-up the icloud account for her phone with out having her phone?

Unfortunately, no. It can only be enabled on the device itself, not remotely.
