Can I have 2 Icloud accounts on my Itunes account

My son & I both share the same Itunes account, but we both have Iphones. Can we have 2 different Icloud accounds for the same Itunes account?

Yes.  You can share the same ID for iTunes and create separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs.  If fact, that't the recommended approach for families. 
You should also use separate IDs for iMessage and FaceTime to avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.  Just use the same IDs you use for your iCloud accounts.  If you're sharing the same ID now for these services, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • 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 my iphone

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • HT4436 can I have multiple icloud accounts on one device

    can I have multiple icoud accounts on one device (ipad)?

    Are you sure only primary account can use Find my iPhone?
    I added a secondary account to my daughters iphone and was able to use it for Find my iPhone.
    It warns you that the Find my iphone service will be disabled on the other icloud account.
    I think this is a good change so I can use a single account to track all the devices.
    Looks like only photostream and documents/data are tied to the primary account.

  • Can I have multiple iCloud accounts?

    If I can have multiple iCloud accounts, where and how do I set the up?  I cannot find the option under the iCloud settings in system preferences.  I have a personal and two different work emails with calendars I would like to sync.

    I believe if you go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars you can set up another iCloud account, but I believe you can only sync data between one account at a time.
    You can set up two iCloud accounts separately for iCloud mail and syncing and another for iTunes Purchases, and Apple has an article out for this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895

  • HT204053 can I have multiple icloud accounts for one apple id?

    I have multiple people in my family using our original apple id .  As they have gotten iphones, macbooks, etc they register there devices under our originale apple id.  over the holidays when my youngest child got her ipod touch and registered it for icloud, two of the children now are seeing each others texts?  Is there a way to use the same apple id for the family and have seperate icloud accounts for each person or should we have a seperate apple id for each person?

    Yes but the issue with receiving each other's text messages is not being caused by sharing the same iCloud account.  To fix this, each person needs to be using a separate Apple ID for iMessage on their devices.  (Note: you can continue to use the same iTunes account on all your devices but each person should use a different ID for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime).  There are a couple of things you need to do to sort all this out.
    First decide who will be keeping the current ID for all services.  On the device(s) belonging to the other people in your family, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in with a saparate ID for each person.  After doing so you will no longer be getting each other's messages on your devices.
    Next, to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    For iCloud, to avoid having merged data by syncing with the same iCloud account you will need to migrate each person to their own iCloud account.  To do this, first decide who will be keeping the current account.  On the other devices go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from the device, not from iCloud.  The device(s) that will be keeping the current account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My [iDevice].  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID on the device(s) belonging to each person.  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to un-merge the data in your iCloud accounts you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

  • HT204053 How can I have 3 iCloud accounts and keep all pictures, contacts, messages separate ?

    I have one Apple account and would like to use iCloud. I would like to have 3 iCloud accounts. One for each person in my family. One person has an iPhone3gs, one has a iPhone 4, and I have a iPad and an iPhone 4s. I would like all pictures, contacts, messages to stay separate for each user.
    Can this be done?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photosstream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
    To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
    I suspect what you are wanting to do is all share the same account for iTunes and each use your own accounts for iCloud.

  • Can you have 2 iCloud accounts on one device, i would like to share photo stream with my wife but not calendar, contacts

    How do you setup 2 icloud accounts on one phone.  I would like to do that to separate contacts/calendars from photo stream.  I have a shared photo library that i would like to be able to access from each phone.  How do you do it?
    Thanks.

    I don't think there is a method cause when you have 2 iCloud account you double the memory given by them (5gb) and if you want more memory you have to pay so I don't think apple might have a loop in that :p bu if you want to share pics then you can always use luthoot enabled apps
