Can I have 2 iCloud accounts on an iPad?

I want to share the use of my iPad with a family member so they can review their photo stream. I still want all of my details to be able to be synced via my iCloud account. How can I get both accounts to work on one iPad?

So, before my theory, a little preamble.  If you go to appleid.apple.com and log in with a particular Apple ID, you will see in the "Name, ID and Addresses" tab that its possible to add "alternate" e-mail addresses to associate with the Apple ID
My husband, teenaged daughter and I share an iTunes account and I had difficulty with the iCloud ID stuff - after reading this piece of information, I logged on to the family iTunes account and deleted all of the alternate email addresses.  At that point, I could assign a different iCloud ID to each of our devices and still use the iMessage feature with all of our various email accounts.  A side note, we have hotmail, gmail and our business email accounts for various reasons, so we need to have them all able to be accessed on our iPhones and thru the new iMessage feature in iOS 5.  We each carry 3-4 email addresses on our phones.
This little tidbit was just the answer for me to make the iCloud and iMessage features work like a charm.
Thank you, Philip, for sharing your theory and little preamble!!!!!!!

  • Can I have two iCloud accounts on my iPad ?

    I have damaged my iPhone and wondered if I can access my emails and iCloud account from my husbands iPad until I have a new phone ? It does not seem obvious how to access another iCloud account from his iPad , any help appreciated !

    You should be able to add the email account to the Mail app like you add any account.
    You can also go to Settings>iClould and change the iCloud account but you can't have both account on at the same time.

    Can I have two iCloud accounts on one IPad?

    Yes, you can add a second ("secondary") iCloud to a device as mendi1 stated.  There are some limitations with secondary iCloud accounts.  Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, syncing Bookmarks and Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My iDevice.  Also push email only works in the primary account; only fetch mail is supported in a secondary account.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020.

  • Can u have two icloud accounts attached to one itunes account

    i would like to have my daughter ipod touch on a different account so that i dont recieve her texts on my phone.  can i have two icloud accounts to one itunes account so that i dont have to open another itunes account and repurchase all her apps and music

    No really.  See:
    Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
    You can resolve the Messages and similar FaceTime problem by first setting them up using the Apple /iTunes ID email address and then adding another email messaging/calling email address and then deleting the Apple/iTunes ID email address.

    Can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, your ID is essentially your account. You can have email aliases and you can have multiple accounts, but I don't think that's what you are asking.

  • I have 2 mac book pro. can i have 2 iCloud accounts to keep them separate?

    I have two Mac Books. One personal and one for work. Can I have two icloud accounts to keep them separate?

    Of course. You can use different iCloud accounts on those Macs, so you can have your information separated.
    You just need to have two Apple IDs. You may want to use different Apple IDs in both Macs for the Mac App Store too, if you want to have different apps

    can i have two icloud accounts on the same iphone?

    Yes.  You can set up a second ("secondary") account on your phone by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with a different ID.  There are some limitations with secondary iCloud accounts to be aware of.  Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My Device.  Also, push mail only works for the primary account; secondary account mail is fetch.

    You got it with that same apple id thing. You can use different apple id's, but then they will not sync. Apple does allow as many free apple id's as you want, but they are in the business to make money.

  • 3 ipad uses 1 apple id and 1icloud account, how can i make different icloud account so each ipad will have more icloud space?

    3 ipad uses 1 apple id and 1icloud account, how can i make different icloud account so each ipad will have more icloud space?

    All 3 iPads will have to share the same 5GB of free iCloud space. Buy more space if necessary.
    Suggest you give different name to each iPad to prevent confusion.

  • HT204053 I have an iphone, ipod and ipad - can i have different icloud accounts?

    My daughter has an iphone, my other one has an ipod and I have an ipad.  How can we have different icloud accounts?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes you can all have different iCloud accounts, indeed it is something that I would recommend.
    To create a new Apple ID (account) navigate to settings >iCloud and tap the "create Apple ID" button.
    Note: if you are already logged into another iCloud account, you will need to scroll down and delete that account, before you can create a new one.

  • HT204053 Can you have 2 iCloud accounts

    Can you have 2 iCloud accounts??  If yes how??

    I assume these are on the same device.
    Using 2 iCloud accounts will mean that only one of them can use photo stream or document and data syncing, you need to decide which one this is (perhaps you only want mail, contacts, reminders, calendars and notes for business). I refer to the one with photo stream and document syncing as the primary account.
    Each device can have only one primary account but multiple secondary accounts. You can choose to use only the services you wish to with each type of account.
    Secondary accounts are added at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. If you don't already have one, you can create a second Apple ID there.

    Yes, you can have multiple iCloud accounts on the iPad but only one account will be the primary with all iCloud info.
    The other account will only use some of the iCloud info.
    Set > Mail, Contact, Calendars > Add account.
    Add the other iCloud account and you can see what will be there.

  • HT4623 How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?

    How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?
    For example on my iphone I log in with a yahoo account.  My ipod was originally set up with another e-mail account (which I can't remember the password).  I want to use the yahoo e-mail and the password associated with it to log on to both devices.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    Can you setup 2 iCloud accounts on 1 ipad (my wife and I share the 1 ipad)?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes, add secondary accounts at settings > mail, contacts, calendars.
