Can I share an icloud account with my wife but not share contacts?
My wife and I want to share the same icloud account. We both have iphones, and our contacts are getting messed up. Is there a way of storing our contacts separately? Or do I need to create a new icloud account for my wife? If so, how do I do that, as both our e-mail addresses are already linked to the existing appleID.
I personally would recommend to use two different Apple IDs/iCloud accounts for iCloud. And of course, you would still be able to share calendars, reminders and you could still set up "your" account as a secondary account on her device, so that she could also still access your email address.
To set up a new primary account, please go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (This would only delete the account from the device). Then create a new account here. After you set up her new account, you could add your account as a secondary iCloud account in "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > iCloud" and then activate just only Mail (and of course keep contacts turned off).

How do you setup 2 icloud accounts on one phone. I would like to do that to separate contacts/calendars from photo stream. I have a shared photo library that i would like to be able to access from each phone. How do you do it?
Thanks.I don't think there is a method cause when you have 2 iCloud account you double the memory given by them (5gb) and if you want more memory you have to pay so I don't think apple might have a loop in that :p bu if you want to share pics then you can always use luthoot enabled apps

I share an iTunes account with my siblings. So their contacts appear on my phone too. How can I take it off?
You can share the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
But for all other Apple services like:
FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID. -
Hi, I share an iTunes account with my wife. Sometimes she gets my iMessages and I don't and vice versa. Also if people face time me it goes to her phone. How can I stop this from happening?

Can I share my iCloud storage with my wife? I'm interested in using the storage for both phones, hers and mine.
You will not want to do that and you should just have two 5GB free accounts.
Too much risk of merging or losing data. -
I used to share an iCloud account with my sister (mainly for music/iTunes reasons). After downloading iOS7, I got all her contacts so I made my own iCloud account in order to separate our contacts, calendars, etc. Now her contacts are gone from my phone list but when I text, they still show up when I am selecting a recipient. How do I get rid them?
Settings > Photos & Camera > Photo Sharing > OFF

I share an iCloud account with my brother and he is receiving my iMessages
I share an iCloud account with my brother and our iMessage is linked together so he gets my text messages?
That's correct. If you share the same AppleID for iMessage, messages go to all devices.
If you don't want that to happen, and you want to be able to iMessage each other, then you or your brother will need to get a separate AppleID for iMessage.
In fact, iCloud accounts aren't meant to be shared between different people, as it means you won't be able to have your own independent contacts, calendars, bookmarks etc. -
HT204053 can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id
Can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id
Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, your ID is essentially your account. You can have email aliases and you can have multiple accounts, but I don't think that's what you are asking. -
How can i delete an icloud account with out password or access to old email
how can i delete an icloud account with out password or access to old email
If the old ID ("email address) is yours, and is an ealier version of your current iCloud ID, go 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. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I use 1 Icloud account with 2 devise but the other devise arrest out my devise throue find my iphone, than my devise was not able to connect to itune anymore. My devise still can swich on but it always restart after afew seconds. So can it fix ?
Looking at the error message "The Network Adapter could not establish the connection" , It appears hostname and port may be incorrect. Review the targets.xml under E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\SAP_solman_SDB\emd and
emoms.properties under E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\SAP_solman_SDB\config folder to make sure host ( sap_solman) and port (1527) are correct.
As far as setting the environment variables goes, you can go to control panel -> system -> advanced -> environment variables and set the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID

I can log into my iCloud account on my iphone but when I try to log in on my pc I keep getting a connection error message. Any ideas?
Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

I have an Icloud account with my parents but want to make a new one. Will I lose everything that is currently on my phone? i.e. phone numbers, pictures, music
In case you're not clear - iPad/iPhone storage, and iCloud storage, are totally separate. Buying more iCloud storage does not give you more storage space on your device. Your device has a fixed storage space for apps and data (e.g., 16GB - which is more like 12GB in real terms). iCloud storage just allows you to store more documents, mail, photos, etc, in the cloud.
