Can i have 2 different email accounts on the same apple id?

I have an iPad and an iPad mini.  They're both registered with my apple id, although my son uses the mini.  He wants an email address and I've set one up for him.  I have my email on my ipad.  But the mini asks me to verify my email address as the contact address for my apple id - does that mean I can't have 2 different emails addresses?

You can have any number of devices on one Apple ID.
Secondly, each device can be set up with a range of different email addresses.
All that is required is that your Apple ID has to be verified (proven) with one email address - that means that Apple will contact you, send you receipts etc. using that email address.
I have several email addresses and have them set up differently on different apple devices so you will absolutely be able to do what you want.
One tip though - when you set up an email address, it would be worth going to whichever ISP (service provider) you are using for that email address and doing a search on the web of whatever,to find out what the best portable apple device settings would be - sometimes special settings are needed.

  • Can you have two different itunes account on the same computer

    how can you have 2 different itunes accounts on the same computer?

    You would need two seperate users on the computer. Then each library would be independent of each other. Or do you mean two seperate iTunes store accounts?

  • Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same mac?

    Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same account? I am having trouble accessing mine from my sons.

    Yes you can.
    The fact you cannot access your son's library from your User account is intentional. User accounts on your Mac are nearly as separate from each other as your Macs are from anyone else's on the planet. To copy music from his account to yours, first copy it to the Shared folder, then log into your account and import the music. Then, you can erase it from Shared.
    The Shared folder exists at /Users/Shared.

  • HT4865 How can I have multiple icloud email accounts using the same rescue email account.

    I have several Iphones for my business for managers to use.
    I would like to set them up to send me the recovery emails but it seems only one icloud address can do that.
    Is it possible to have multiple icloud email accounts using the same - seperate recovery email address?

    Unfortunately, you cannot change your primary @me.com or @icloud.com email address, you could however create an alias or create a completely new account.

    Can I have 2 different iTunes accounts on the one Mac computer

    Yes. If you mean Apple IDs, log in and out as needed. If you mean iTunes libraries, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose or create one, or use separate Windows user accounts.

  • HT2542 Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?

    I am wanting to download music to my Thunderbolt smart phone (i know, no iphone yet, next upgrade) and I want to use itunes to do it. My partner has an itunes account and I thought I opened my own itunes account, but apparently I didn't. I don't like the same music and only want to download music I like to my phone. Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?

    I'm confused
    Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?
    Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?
    Do you want one or two?
    By the way, and iTunes account is really the thing you use online to purchase music, not what you have on a computer.  You have user accounts on a computer, and you have iTunes libraries or collections of media.  You can have multiple user accounts on a computer.  You can have a single or multiple user accounts use a single or multiple libraries.  We need to know exactly what it is you have/want.

  • Can you have 2 seperate iphone accounts on the same computer?

    Can you have two seperate iphone accounts on the same computer??? please help?

    Yes. If you want separate iTunes accounts, the easiest way is to set up 2 users on the computer, each with their own iTunes library.
    If the two phones share the same iTunes account this is not necessary.

  • Can I create another Game Center account on the same Apple ID?

    I need another Game Center account to support my Clash of Clans game. The problem is that I created a Clash of Clans village without knowing I already had one. So COC game #1 is attached to my current GC. I've talked to COC support and there's no way to delete game #1 or detach it from my GC account so I could save game #2. I was given 2 options by support, 1. Go back to playing game #1 and have game #2 be lost forever (which I don't want to do because game #1 is basically just started level, and game #2 is pretty advanced, plus I don't like the name of my first village.) 2. Create a new Game Center account to save game #2 to.
    So my main question is: If I create a new GC account, can I use the same Apple ID (email) for it as the one I currently have? Right now my overall Apple ID is the same email address as the email on the Game Center account and I would like to keep that the same. Is that possible?
    And one more question: I have a bunch of games on my iPad such as Hay Day, Coin Dozer, Megapolis, etc. that are saved to my current GC account. If I create a new one, can I save all those games again on the new GC account?
    Thanks for any answers/help you can give!

    Creating a new iTunes account does not remove any purchases made on a different account.
    If you want to create a new account : iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
    Or if you will want to use it in the stores and don't want to give credit card details : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
    Or if you are not currently logged into an account in game centre then you should have a 'create a new Apple id' link at the bottom of the login screen in it.

  • Using different iCloud accounts with the same apple iD

    My mom, brother, and I all use the same apple ID so we can all buy songs off of the same credit card. I have my iPhone and I also just got a Mac. My brother has his iPhone and an iPad and my mom just has her phone. We all listen to different music. Is there a way that I can set up an iCloud account for my phone and Mac so that I just have MY music, not my brother's and mom's? If so, how? I would like to be able to download a song on my phone and have it appear on my iTunes on my Mac.

    The iCloud account is not what you are using to purchase and download music. That is for your backup and other things. The Apple ID that you are sharing is for music. If you want your own music, then you need to set up your own Apple ID account and sign into that in the iTunes store.

  • Can I have two separate iTunes account on the same pad?

    My husband and I have two separate iTunes account. He has a iPad (his iTunes/icloud login) that I would like to be able to download movies on from our family account (my iTunes) but keep his iCloud messaging, etc intact on his iPad. Is this possible?

    No, you can only be signed into a single iTunes account at a time.  And once you download a previous purchase from and iTunes ID you can't switch to another ID to download previous purchases for 90 days.  However, you don't have to use the same ID for iMessage that you do for iTunes.  You can create a new ID to use for iMessage, FaceTime, etc., then go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (and Settings>FaceTime), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.  Using different IDs for will keep you from getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.
