Can i include a second apple id in iCloud

My wife and I have separate Apple Ids.   Is it possible for both to be included in the icloud so we can share contacts etc?

You can share an iCloud account with a shared ID and use separate IDs for other services such as purchasing form the iTunes store.  They do not have to be the same.
If you only want to share contacts, you could also set up separate iCloud accounts using your separate IDs, then set up a shared iCloud account as a secondary account on your devices by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, signing in with a separate ID and turn on contacts syncing in the secondary account.  You can also sync mail, calendars, reminders and notes with the secondary account if you wish.

  • TS4002 how can i use a deferent apple id for iCloud on my iPhone?

    how can i use a deferent apple id for iCloud on my iPhone?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you delete the existing account you will get an option to keep the iCloud data on your device.
    Before deleting the account, save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll.

  • How can I include two different apple ids in family sharing?

    I originally set up my iTunes App Store using a secondary ID, and set up my App Store account somewhat later using my primary Apple ID. I've now set up family sharing with my wife and son, using my iTunes ID as the organizer. I'd like to include my App Store account within the family group but when I try to add my primary ID I get an error message saying "You cannot send an invitation to your own account." Is there any way of getting my App Store account included in my Family Sharing?
    I realize that it may have been stupid to set these two accounts up with different Apple ID's in the first place, but when I was setting them up Apple's explanations of how the whole ID and billing system were going to work were almost non-existant. So it was not that I did anything that was clearly out of bounds at the time, and it seems like there should be some way of setting things straight now.

    Here's some additional clarification. By "primary ID" I'm referring to the one I use for my mac.com email account. The secondary ID is one that I set up for the iTunes App Store when it started, and I didn't see any need to link it to my mac.com email. Then later, when the Mac App Store got started, I first logged into that using the primary ID without thinking about the connections between the two stores, about which Apple provided no information at that time.
    When I set up the family sharing group I used the secondary ID as the organizer, because I was setting it up primarily for iOS use. So that's the id that I have to invite from, and the id I have to send the invitation to is the primary one. I don't think I could set up a second family share group because Apple appears to recognize both IDs as belonging to me, i.e., to the same real name.

  • How can I create a second apple id (without credit card) for my daughter and share it on the same environment?

    Hello, I found some suggestions regarding how to create an account without credit card details for a child, but I'm not shore if it would work harmlessly.
    The following points describe my situation:
    I access the iTunes store from my MacBook Pro, while my 15 year old daughter will access iTunes from her iPad.
    Every time she needs a free download I have to enter my Apple ID in through her iPad.
    When it comes to purchase an app or music for her iPad I do it from my mac and then synchronize with her iPad.
    This is what I’m looking for:
    I would like her to have her personal apple ID that don’t require a credit card so she would be able to log and download the free apps and updates
    I also would like to purchase her software by using my Apple ID linked to my credit card
    I wouldn’t want her to lose the software and on her iPad once logged with a different Apple ID
    Last, I would appreciate to not see the apps downloaded on her iPad appearing on my iPhone: is there a way to have a selective destination for downloaded apps?
    Thank you in advance

    You can create a new account without giving credit card details by following the instructions on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    And she can then use that account for free items. If she redownloads an item on her iPad (and similarly on your Mac) from an account (either your existing account or a new one) then she may tie the iPad to that account for 90 days (so she won't be able to redownload items from the other account until those 90 days have completed) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    Also all content is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only your account will be able to download updates to the apps that were bought/downloaded by your account.
    The apps will only automatically download on your phone if you have automatic downloads turned on in Settings > iTunes & App Store on it.

  • Can I Add a Second Apple ID to Share Calendars?

    My boss and I each have an iphone and Microsoft Surface Pro tablets.
    I downloaded the iCloud Control Panel to sync my iPhone and Outlook calendars on my Surface Pro.
    Is there a way I can add my boss so that I can have access to his calendar in my Outlook on my Surface?
    I am able to see his calendar on my phone but I want to be able to access and edit his calendar from all 4 devices.

    It can only have one Apple ID signed onto it at a time in the iTunes & App Stores.
    Your best bet is to make the purchases via the MacBook Air, then sync the iPad via iTunes. My husband and I share an iTunes library (but both have our own Apple IDs), and we share music purchased by both of us using the sync process.
    Downloading via automatic downloads or by downloading past purchases can create problems because the device becomes associated with the Apple ID that is used to do any of those actions, and it cannot be associated with a different Apple ID for 90 days. So, that can get kind of crazy:
    Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
    But syncing via a shared library is just syncing, and does not create the "associated device" issue.

  • Can I create a second Apple ID and share content between the two?

    We have an Apple ID that's used by the whole family to buy music etc from iTunes, but we also have 3 separate Apple devices, two iPhones and an iPad. Hence, ideally we would have 3 separate ID's that could all use the content currently on the family one. Is anything like this possible? Many thanks in advance.

    Well yes, but if you want to update those apps, you'd need to sign in under your old Apple ID to update them. It's really best to just stick to one Apple ID, or you'll run into association complications down the road.

  • How can we change an old apple id in icloud that has been set in iphone and we don't have password of it?

    That is "activation lock". You won't be able to use the iPhone unless this is cleared by the original owner.

  • HT204053 how can i delete a defunct Apple ID from iCloud.  It controls my access to iCloud and I can't change it.  I do have a current Apple ID and Password in iTunes, App Store and everywhere else.

    I have a Mac desk top and and iPad, a current Apple ID and Password and gmail address.  Mac says can't access icloud be cause of a problem with my gmail address.  I click to fix it and it asks for a password for my OLD yahoo account, whick I don't have.  BTW, this is all set up on my iPad but the account is not verified.....round and round she goes!  What can I do next?

    If the old ID (Yahoo address) was an earlier version of your current ID (Gmail address), try recreating your old ID from your new ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  Then enter the password for your current ID when your Mac prompts you for your Yahoo ID.

    There are multiple people who upgraded to Ios7, are you one of them? If you are, you may want to try to get help from developers like you (there is developers forum here somewhere). I am not smart enough to be a developer, sorry.

  • I don't remember encrypting my iTunes back up now my backup is also locked in my iPhone 5 can I create a new apple if and iCloud account and get my sms off of it and notes. That's all I need, I won't do a rest these items are too important as of now.

    New iCloud act? Sync with my phone?
    Keep my text msgs backed up somewhere, can't lose them please help thank you!

    If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, you will not be able to use that backup if you can't remember the encrypted backup passcode.
    If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover the passcode from your Keychain. Otherwise, your data is unrecoverable.
    While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.
    You delete your existing backups here: iTunes>Preferences>Devices.
    If you have data on your phone, like messages, you want to save, you're gonna have to use third-party software, like this, to extract them from your phone. Notes, contacts, etc, you can just sync back to your phone after you restore as new:
