Can i have two icloud accounts on 1 apple id

My wife and i share i  tunes account, but on new 5c the icloud shares contacts on both phones.is there a way to change that.

Welcome to the Apple Community dirttracker.
One of you needs to sign out of iCloud  and use their own ID.
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account, then sign in with their own ID, if they don't yet have one, use the create Apple ID option.

    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 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.

    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.

  • TS4020 Can we have two ICloud accounts on ipad

    Does there need to be separate logins to the iPad? I want us bothe to be able to have out preferences and iCloud accounts on our iPad. Is that possible or do we need to just keep it to one?

    You can't use iCloud to set up separate "user accounts" on your iPad like you can with a computer.  YOur iPad is designed for a single user.  You can have multiple iCloud accounts on it as discussed in the article you were reading, but this will not give you access to all iCloud services for two separate users.

  • 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).

  • Is there a way to have two iCloud accounts for one Apple Id

    I want to keeo sharing my apps with my wife but Dont want our safari info and contacts and calenders to sync together

    You're confusing icloud and itunes store accounts.  Individual users should have their own icloud accounts (using their Apple ID) but multiple users can share the same ID for logging into the itunes store account.

  • Two iPhones, can i have two icloud accounts when i use same iTunes for both? i have no storage on my first icloud

    I have two iPhones, a 4 and i just bought the 5. my iCloud storage of the 4 is full and i have the biggest storage. now i want to back up my new iphone 5 in the same icloud of the 4. i have no space. can i set up a new account even if i share laptops?

    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 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 we have two iCloud accounts on one computer

    My partner and I share the MacBookPro and mostly use our iPads.  Though we sign in to two different accounts when using the Mac Book all my pictures and bookmarks show up in both accounts.  I am the only one with an iCloud account at this point.  I thought each account on the Mac was separate.

    Setup 2 computer user accounts, then setup iCloud in each user account.

    On our PC I was trying to put my apple account to get onto the cloud? and I had to close his icloud account and it put it into outlook and now I am worried if he on the cloud I cant be.  But If I am on the cloud he cant be on the cloud.  There are other people out there that share a computer with someone?  HELP??

    You need to setup two separate user accounts on your PC and then log into iCloud in each one of them.

  • 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
