Can i have a seperate icoud account for backup , but use my families apple id ?

can i have a seperate icoud account for backup , but use my families apple id ?

if the backup is being done from a seperate device, it will show up in the icloud settings as a different backup.
lets say your sister has an iphone backed up to icloud and so do you.  you just got a new ipad and you want to download all the stuff on you phone to it, no problem.  it would come up as a seperate backup.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You should use the same iTunes account for all your devices.

  • 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 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.

  • HT1711 Can I have 2 seperate itunes accounts on the same computer?

    Can I have 2 seperate itunes accounts on the same 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.

  • I have changed the email account for icloud but my sistem preferences windows is blocked on the previous email account

    I have changed the email account for icloud but the sistem preferences window is blocked on the previous email account and it does't work.
    The sistem preferences window doesn't accept no one passwords.

    You will need to sign out completely in System Preferences>iCloud (click the 'Sign Out' button) and sign back in again with the new ID.

  • When I in an app on line there is a nickname tied to my Apple ID.  Can I have a second nickname on my other iPad using the same Apple ID?

    Can I have a second nickname on my other iPad using the same Apple ID?

    Activation Lock is doing exactly what it was designed to do - preventing a non-owner from using the device as their own.
    But why just "throw it away"?  The dealership should be willing to tuck it away in their lost and found, as the owner may well show up looking for it?

  • I have 2 iPhones (1 personal, 1 business) but use the same Apple ID. I have replaced my personal iPhone but it has restored to my work iPhone. How do I restore it to my personal iPhone settings?

    I have 2 iPhones (1 personal, 1 business) but use the same Apple ID. I have replaced my personal iPhone but it has restored to my work iPhone settings (photos/contacts/messages etc.) How do I restore it to my personal iPhone settings?

    You're welcome.
    First check to be sure the new phone is running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up (Settings>General>About>Version).  If it isn't, you'll need to update the iOS first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the options, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your personal phone to restore to.
    Be sure the phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

  • L added her sister R to a family plan. Can R have her own itunes account for syncing the phone and downloading her own apps, or must she always sign in using L's account and password?

    So, if R wants to sync her iphone 5C but still have L pay for it on the family plan, can R just get her own itunes account for buying music and apps? Or is she stuck using L's account?

    Family Plan as with the cell phone carrier?
    Is so, the iTunes account or Apple ID is not related to the type of cell phone plan an iPhone is under.
    Will the sisters being using the same computer and iTunes library?

  • Can I have two seperate iTunes lists for two iPods on the same computer?

    I have two nanos, one for me and one for my daughter. Can we manage two seperate download lists when we plug in to the same computer.
    The additional complication...her nano has a smaller memory than mine, so her's wouldn't hold all the songs anyway.
    Assistance would be appreciated!
    Happy holidays

    Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.

  • Can we have the same iCloud account for 2 Macs, 2 iPhones and an iPad?

    My partner and I each have an iMac and an iPhone, and we have an iPad which we both use. It suits us to have a single iCloud account because we share all calendars and contacts.
    However, we're about to upgrade our iPhones and I've read that if both the old and the new device has iOS 5 or later, the data transfer should be done via iCloud. Please can anyone tell me if 2 iPhones can be backed up to iCloud (currently they're backed up to the iMacs) without causing difficulty? Each phone has a different name attached to it, so I guess it may be OK if they're done one at a time. Or maybe it's OK to do the data transfer via iTunes, even though the iOS is 6.1.6...?
    With thanks.

    Hello Gillylal Fordham-Lear,
    This can be done via iTunes or iCloud, as detailed in the article linked below.

  • 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.
