Can I have a separate iCloud account and a Apple Id account to keep my daughters phone seperate from mine for the contact?

My daughter's iPad and my iPhone 5 are under one Apple id. She was 10 and unless I lied about her birth date she could not have a email account. Now she is 11 and has a email acct (lied about the age) so she could facetime. Now she has the new iPhone 5c and I was told at the apple store to set her up a iCloud account and that way my contacts won't go on her phone. It didn't work so I just shut off the mail and contacts on my phone and hers so they won't blend. I still want to track her phone, her location and her purchases. I trust her, just not others.

In case it has escaped your view, these forums are Apple's Forums. If we help you violate Apple's rules, then we have a problem.
There are reasons for the age limits. Lying about them is certainly a poor lesson to teach your daughter.

HT204053 can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?

can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?

You can have only one iCloud "user configuration" per local user on the Mac. Who the local user belongs to doesn't mind. Since it's a local user it's not related with who actually uses it. So let's say you want to set up Photo streaming using your iCloud user, just configure iCloud (under System Preferences) the same way you did on your phone and you're done.
But, beware: if you're only interested in synching photos, uncheck everything else when configuring iCloud on the Mac, otherwise you will merge, for example, your husband contacts, calendar and mail with those on your phone.
If you want to avoid any problems you can easily create another local user on the Mac with your name, under System Preferences, System, Users & Groups. After you create the user, logoff. The Mac will ask if you want to disable autologin (since there's more than one user that can log in now), answer yes and you will be presented with a logon screen. Click on your account name, insert the password and configure iCloud to sync with your phone.

Can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes and no.
There is no issues at all if you use two user accounts on the mac, each can sync with one of the accounts.
If you are using a single user account, you can add the second account as a secondary account in settings > mail, contacts and calendars and you can then sync mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders from the second account, but not documents and data, back to my mac or photostream.

Can i have two separate icloud accounts for my devices

My iCloud stoarge is filling up because it is all the stuff from my iPad and iPhone. can i have separate accounts so i can have a full amount of storage on each instead of it sharing. Also, if i can, would it sync to my iCloud on my Mac Pro?

You could set up separate accounts on your devices, but the iCloud data will not be synced between your devices any more. In other words, the accounts will not sync with each other.

Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.

I have two separate iCloud accounts. How do I merge them?

I have two separate iCloud accounts, one at mac.com and one at me.com. But I only want to have one iCloud account. How do I merge the two into one keeping all the data in each?

If you have two accounts with separate iTunes Store purchases, only a senior Apple support tech can help you with that. It took several hours for mine, when a total stranger hijacked my email to use for their own (no, they could not access my account, but I was getting email from their connections. Like, D'Oh!) Going by what you're saying in your message, as long as your email ID has the same name preceding the @, all emails still go to you. I also have all three, but only use the first one.

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

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.

Bryan,
According to iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID:
"Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days."

How can I manage 2 separate icloud accounts on 1 computer

Is it possible to have 2 icloud accounts on 1 computer? I'm trying to find directions on how to back up my husband's contacts onto his icloud using 1 computer without losing any of my own backed up information from my own icloud account.

If you mean iCloud backups, that has nothing to do with any computer. The backup is stored in iCloud, and it goes from the phone to iCloud backups without a computer being involved. So all you need is two Apple IDs.
But if you mean sync the contacts to iCloud so you can view them on the computer rather than just back them up it gets trickier, as the logged in user on the computer is only associated with 1 iCloud account.
If you want to be able to view the contacts on the computer the easiest way to do it is with 2 user accounts on the computer. The alternative is to associate the computer with 1 iCloud account, and access the other one with a web browser at https://icloud.com.
Finally, another, new, option to consider Family Sharing. Make one Apple ID the master and the 2nd one a Family Share. This allows all content and apps to be shared, and also shares a common calendar and allows all devices to be tracked with a single ID and Find my iPhone.

Can I have two separate iTunes accounts on the same computer? My wife's music is much different than mine. Can we have different iTunes libraries to work with on the same computer?

Yes. Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down as needed, or use separate Windows user accounts on the computer.

Can I have three different iCloud accounts in my iBook? one for each user of the family? Thanks

I have a computer at home which is used by 5 family members. Each of us have a separate user in the MacBook. Can each of us have a different iCloud account to sincronize with each of our iPhones or once you download the iCloud for one of us, no other iCloud will be added to the same laptop?
Many thanks.

Hi Valeriano009,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You are already on the right track with 5 individual user accounts on your computer. Please be sure to back up your main Apple ID account before making any changes below.
The article below will explain in more detail ... but it sounds like you will want to create a separate Apple ID for each member of your family to keep their contacts, calendars, Photo Stream etc. separate.
If your family has made a lot of iTunes Store purchases, you can stay signed in to your current Apple ID to have access to them. Or your family members can start fresh with their own iTunes Store purchases. Please review the Frequently Asked Questions section in this article:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
Each member of your family should log into their own user account on the computer, and then click on the link below to create their unique Apple ID.
Apple - My Apple ID
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Make sure that the email address you want to use for your Apple ID meets these conditions:
The email address is one that you use regularly, because it will be the primary email address for your Apple ID.
The email address is not associated with any other Apple ID.
The email address is not an iCloud email address, which is already an Apple ID. iCloud email addresses end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
If each family member is currently using the old Apple ID for their iCloud account on their devices, they will need to follow these steps:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Before you delete the old iCloud account from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, turn off each of the features ( contacts, calendars, etc. ) and when prompted, choose to "Keep on My iPhone" if you wish to keep that information. If your family member doesn't need or want any of this information, then skip down to the selection below to delete the iCloud account completely.
Turn iCloud features off
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap to turn off iCloud features.
When you turn off a feature, you’re asked whether you want your device to keep a copy of your information stored in iCloud for that feature.
Once you have saved the contacts, calendars, etc. that you want from the current iCloud account on your family member's iPhone, then you can delete the old iCloud account from their device.
Turn off iCloud completely
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
At this point, I would suggest turning off the device, and restarting it. Then, tap on Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Tap on Add Account. Tap iCloud. Now type in your family member's new Apple ID email address and password.

Need to have a separate iCloud account for daughter's iPod touch

I would like to manage all my iOS devices under one appleID, but with separate icloud accounts for my two daughters, each with their own iPod. How do I retain my Apple ID on daughter's iPod but have a separate iCloud address so that she doesn't receive my Messages, etc?
Thanks in advance.

You'll have to have separate iCloud accounts to have separate email addresses. You can do this and still share the same iTunes account for purchasing. There is no requirement that they be the same ID.
To change the iCloud ID on each of your daughter's devices, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) If she is syncing any data with your iCloud account, when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to select Keep On iPod. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). 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. If they have any of your data in their new accounts, go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each of the accounts separately and delete it.
To prevent getting each other's text messages, use separate IDs for iMessage as well. If you are currently sharing the same ID for iMessage, on each of their devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.

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.

How many devices can you have on 1 icloud account

how many devices can you have on 1 icloud accout?

It's unusual for a whole family to use the same icloud account, since that way everyone gets the same emails, contacts, calenders, etc. All it takes is one family member to delete a contact by mistake and then it will be deleted from everyone's devices. Not good. The usual advice is for every individual to have their own icloud account.
The iTunes store is another issue - everyone can use the same Apple ID to access the same itunes account to download music, apps, etc. without everyone having to buy the items multiple times.
