Can my apple id be the same as my iCloud id

Can my apple id be the same as my icloud id?

It could be. Usually, the Apple ID is your email address. Your iCloud email address will be derived from it. There is no "iCloud ID" because all that is used is your Apple ID. For example:
Email address is: [email protected]
Your iCloud email address will then become [email protected]
The password you choose for your Apple ID is used as your password for icloud.com.

  • Can multiple apple IDs have the same billing address??

    So yea is it possible for multiple or more than one apple IDs to have the same billing address, like those created for use by members restrictively within a specific family for example??

    It is possible but no more than 3 different Apple IDs for the same credit card. If you need more than three (more members of the family or a small business with 4 or more people who need individual Apple IDs) you can use one or more iTunes gift cards instead of a regular credit or debit card.

    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.

  • HT5622 Can 2 apple ids use the same iCloud

    My wife and I both have our separate iPhones with different ids can we both share iCloud's off the same router

    One Apple ID can be shared for store purchases. On the iPhone go to Settings>Store and put in the ID. Then all the songs purchased with that ID can be downloaded from the iTunes store on the phone.
    I hope that is what you were asking?

  • Can two apple IDs share the same library?

    Mac newbie here needs some advice...
    I just got a new iMac and have created separate accounts for my husband and me on it.  We used to share an apple ID for music, but now I'd like for us to have our own apple IDs especially with the iCloud capabilities I don't want my iPhone stuff going to his Mac account, etc.  Problem is that all his music is in my library and he doesn't want to have to re-buy it again.  So I figured out that I can share my music library with his account on the iMac, and I have him signed in to iTunes with his separate Apple ID... good so far... but what's going to happen when he buys something?  Will it go into my library (as some sort of combined one), or into a separate one?
    The other issue I encountered is that when I went to enable automatic synchronization across devices for him, I got a message saying that it was already logged in with another apple ID (I'm assuming it was referring to mine?).  That's not good. 
    I want us both to have totally separate IDs etc, especially for iCloud backups etc, but I wanted to be able to share music libraries.  Is that possible?  Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks!

    If you want to share a single AppleID with a single iTunes Library, then simply sync both devices to that iTunes library using the same user account.
    If you want to sync two AppleIDs to one iTunes library, in iTunes on the computer, login and authorize each AppleID, then sync the devices to that common iTunes library in the same user account.
    You do not do anything on the device being sync'd itself - it all has to do with how iTunes that you are syncing to is set up and what AppleIDs are authorized there.  You can sync multiple devices to iTunes, just be sure that each device gets a unique device name in the iTunes sidebar.
    To then use unique AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage on a iOS device, first, make an iCloud account with the AppleID you want to use (go to http://www.iCloud.com), then set up that iCloud account on the device with that ID and password.  In iMessage, just log out with whatever AppleID you are using now, log in with the new AppleID and it will reauthorize, now linking that device with the new iMessage account just created with that AppleID (your iMessage primary account ID is always the AppleID used to initially create and verify the iMessage account).

  • Can multiple apple ids share the same computer?

    Would my children have the same access to music and apps we've downloaded if they open their own and login with their own apple i.d. account?

    Only if iTunes is using a "shared" folder for EVERY user's library under EVERY user account. Even then, you will probably encounter problems with "authorized" content for one account being unavailable for others.

  • Can multiple apple IDs share the same library on the same computer?

  • Can you have more then one iphone control the apple tv at the same time?

    Can you have more then one iphone4 as a remote for one apple tv at the same time?

    iCloud, iTunes & Apps Stores can be assigned different AppleID's from the Settings app. I have my phone and my wife's set up this way for the very reasons you are describing. Works well.

    Can I authorize mulitple apple ids on the same device so that what is purchased on either account will be loaded in both devices without having to use the same ID?
    My wife has a laptop and an iphone 4s, I have a laptop and and iphone 4s, our two sons have our old iphone 3s, we have an old laptop for our sons to use.  Our old iphones for our sons are deactivated as phones - so they are used as i-touches for songs, pictures and aps.  I want to use icloud (which I'm new to) to hopefully have all four iphones and all three computers stay synced with at least music - if not aps and pictures.  My wife has an apple ID and I have one.  I'd like to authorize all three laptops for both apple IDs so that we will still have our own accounts, but everything either of us buys will be automatically loaded into all three laptops and all four iphones.  Can this be done?
    Thanks,

    Each person in your home can have their own Apple ID provided it is tied the their own separate email address.
    iTunes permits up to five authorized computers connected to a single Apple ID: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    For this all to work well, however, each user in your household should have a separate user account on the computer they commonly use.

  • Can I have a Face Time conversation between two Apple devices using the same Apple ID?

    Can I have a Face Time conversation between two Apple devices using the same Apple ID?

    Yes, you can, but the two devices can't have the same e mail address associated with both.  Each, device needs its own unique e mail ADR.  In your case, the iPod can call your iPhone if you use the phone number, but the iPhone can not call your iPod because it must use the e mail address, and if the email address is the same on both, the iPhone will think it's calling itself, so the call will not go through.
