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.

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

  • Can I have 2 different Apple accounts & sync Apps to one iPad?

    I have a US Apple Account that I use with iTunes.  Everything from iTunes on my MacBook Pro syncs with my iPad 3.  So I have some 200 programs via my USA Apple Account and they are on the Mac and on the iPad.  (If I download and App from the iPad it then syncs-over to the Mac; and vice versa).
    OK but now I would like to download a free app that is only available on another (Belgian) iTunes store.  If I set-up a Belgian account (with credit card etc) and then download this single iPad App -- will it go into my iTunes on my Mac and then sync with my iPad?
    I don't want to try this until I am 100% certain it won't mess-up my iPad / Mac / iTunes---
    Thanks for any comments.
    Best regards,

  • My wife and I have two different iCloud accounts. How can we share the Address Book?

    My wife and I have two different iCloud accounts. I have an iMac OS X 10.7.5 and she has a new iPad.  My Address Book is on iCloud but when she enters a contact on her iPad it goes to her Address Book. We want it to go to mine. We want to share my Address Book on iCloud. How can we do that?

    You're welcome.
    Happy Holidays to you and your family.

  • I have two different iCloud accounts. I can't sign into photo stream with my personal account and have tried deleting from my iPhone first, then the MacBook Pro. Still won't let me sign in with the personal account. Please help.

    I have two different iCloud accounts - business and personal. I can't sign into Photo Stream with my personal account because it says my business account is my primary account. They are separate but equal accounts. I have tried deleting the iCloud account from my iPhone, then my MacBook Pro and signing in again on both devices. The iPhone says that my primary account ismy personal account (which is good) but my MacBook Pro still will not sign into that account so I can use Photo Stream.
    Any suggestions? This iCloud stuff is getting annoying.

  • I have 2 different iCloud accounts and would like to delete the account where I have purchased paid for extra iCloud data storage.  Can I transfer this additional storage over to my other account?

    I have 2 different iCloud accounts and would like to delete the account where I have paid for extra iCloud data storage.  Can I transfer the data storage over to my other account?  I am trying to get my iCloud and Apple account with same user name.

    You'll have to contact Apple about that.
    Their iCloud support page indicates you cannot merge or transfer iCloud accounts.
    What do you mean by, I am trying to get my iCloud and Apple account with same user name.

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

    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.

  • Can you have two different itunes account 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?

  • How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

    How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

    As currently designed, you cannot. Once iCloud detects you are on mobile Safari, it switches you to the iPad screen.
    If you had another browser that would allow you to pretend you were a desktop Safari client, ie8 or 9, or Firefox, that might work.
    But, Puffin and Opera mini don't work.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    You need to be using the same icloud account on both devices if you want your data synced between them.

  • HT204053 Can I have 2 different iTunes accounts? One for UK and one for US?

    Can I have 2 different iTunes accounts? One for UK and one for US?

    Assuming you are physically present in each of those countries when you wish to use the iTunes Store for that country, and that you have a payment method issued in each country with a valid billing or mailing address in that country, then yes. You'll need two Apple IDs, which will require two email addresses.
    Regards.

    Okay.
    She's going to use your computer to sync with iTunes.
    Create an new computer login on your computer for her. This will keep her stuff separate and she won't be able to mess with any of your info.
    Log into her computer account.
    Launch iTunes.
    Create a new iTunes account for her. See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    You can enter a credit card to create the account then delete the CC info. Or you can use an iTunes gift card and she can fund the account with gift cards instead of using a CC to make purchases. This is an easy way to control spending.
    on the iPad, go to Settings > iMessage > Off.
    Then Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content & settings.
    Once it finishes, plug in the iPad, select it in iTunes and this will set it up as a new device. Enter all your granddaughter's info.
    When she wants to sync her iPad or use iTunes, she needs to log into your computer with her account.
    Then the iTunes library she uses will be only hers.
