Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account?

Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account? My family shares one I tunes account but it would be nice to be able to have a different I cloud for family member. Is there a way to do this. Because the I cloud part on the setting on the phone and I pad are greyed out on the phones so you can't change the user.

If they are greyed out then usually this means that the account is not validated on that device.  The Delete Account button at the bottom should still work and allow you to remove the current account form the iCloud Section of Settings.
To answer your question, yes.  There are four places you can use an Apple ID on an iOS device:
Settings > iCloud
Settings > Messages
Settings > FaceTime
Settings > iTunes & App Stores
The iTunes & App Stores is the only one you want to use a shared (family) Apple ID account.  The other three you will want a unique Apple ID for that person to prevent info merging or messages getting shared, etc.

    I have 22,000 photos on Photoshop.  I want to back up about 800 of them, all on the same tag, and load them, with the meta data (e.g all the tags) to another PC.  I can only see how to load the whole catalog, not a subset

    You'll get better answers on that on the PSE forum...

  • I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring.

    I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring. One phone is for work and one is for private and I don't need both phones to ring from one call. It's bizarre.......is this supposed to be like this? If so where can I turn it off?? And while we are at it iOS8 has installed iBooks on both of my phones and iTunes won't let me uninstall it. I don't need or want iBooks on my phones.

    Hi,
    There are two easy fixes to this.
    One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
    Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
    Hope this helps!

    Hope you can help.
    I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

    IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
    using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call.  see the link.
    Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

    I don't think I see my situation addressed. I have one mobile me account and a separate appleID for purchases.   I have 4 devices and my wife has two. Right now they are all using the same mobile me account to sync just the calendar and address book.
    1.)  I want to add email syncing for my 4 devices and email syncing for my wife's two devices separately, but we want to sync and share the same calendar and address book.  Is this possible?
    2.)  I also have 5 different calendars, one for work, one for home, one for... etc.  Is there a way to have different devices only sync certain calendars and not others or is it an all or nothing deal?
    Thanks in advance for any tips!

    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photosstream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
    To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
    Generally speaking it is not a good idea to share an iCloud account between different people, it often results in contracts, calendars et cetera being deleted by others. Saying that however you can add secondary iCloud accounts to your devices at settings> mail, contacts, calendars. Secondary accounts do not have all the features of a primary account, but are often very useful. Because you can enable or disable each individual feature of an iCloud account, you can cover almost any situation by using secondary accounts.

    I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.

    I have an old I pod that was syncd with a windows computer, now i am trying to sync with my mac itunes account.  We have the same i tunes account but it is saying i will lose all my songs if i sync now.  Help?

    I would recommend you use a program called senuti that allows you to copy your songs over to a new computer from an iPod. Unfortunatlly you have to pay for the full version but it allows you to have 1000 free song capacity of copying over and a movie counts as the capacity of 1 song.

  • Why can't I open some of my documents on Pages even though I created them all on the same IPad with the same Pages ap?

    Why can't I open some of my documents on Pages even though I created them all on the same IPad with the same Pages ap?

    I think I know the problem because I've had it myself. I didn't upgrade iWorks on my iPad, but after Apple made changes to iCloud (concurrent with Mavericks) any docs passing through it were modified and made unreadable. Even though, as you say, they were created on my iPad using the previous version of iOS Pages, which I didn't upgrade.
    iCloud is the culprit, if your iPad settings had iCloud>Documents & Data enabled, the docs were modified and disabled in the cloud.
    I made a further mistake. After I saw this happening, I didn't think to turn off auto updates, and Apple pushed the new version of iOS Pages onto my iPad. The result was that ALL my docs disappeared from the iPad, and from iCloud.com also. I have not been able to recover them.
    I've been talking to the Pages engineering team about it. If they come up with an answer, I'll post it here. Meanwhile, get those older files backed up somewhere safe if you can.

  • Can you have one copy of Photoshop on two devices?

    I have been told by a friend that it is possible to have one copy of photoshop on two devices, however i don't know if this is true or not. I installed my copy of photoshop onto my imac around this time last year, but i have recently bought a macook pro and i would like to download it onto this computer. I would like to know if this is possible and if it is how do i do it? I have no disc drive on my macbook pro so this could also be another issue.
    Thanks

  • I have a pdf. document with 100 pages. These are white postcards with addresses. I need to move all the address farther to the left. How can I move them all at the same time?

    1) I need to drag the same text on 100 pages at the same time to the same place. Is there a simultaneous way I can do this? the pdf file has 100 pages of a 4x 6 posta cards that contain addresses: one address per page, I need to select all addresses and at the same time move them to the same place within the postcard. I can select the text on one card (page) at a time and drag it to the desired place. The PROBLEM is that I need to do it at the same time on every page. otherwise it takes too long. PRODUCT IS ABOBE ACROBAT

    This it not the kind of editing task that one should do in a PDF file. It is not meant to be edited in such a way.
    You should try to get the original file used to create the PDF, edit it and then create a new PDF from it.

  • Can you invert a mask in photoshop elements 12?  if not, is there a "walk around" that would achieve the same result?

    I am taking a class about using textures...most folks are using photoshop....I don't want to tackle that and try to learn about textures..
    can you invert a mask in Elements 12...or is there another way to achieve the same result?
    thanks

    thanks..
    I am having trouble with the keyboard " If you’ve already added the mask, you can invert it by typing command/control + i while the mask is active for editing. "
    so maybe I will try again...would love to get it working!
    many thanks for your prompt reply

  • How do you open multiple binary files and plot them all on the same graph?

    I have three different binary files and I want to plot all 3 of them onto a graph.
    I am familiar with opening and reading a single binary file. (Thanks to the help examples!) 
    But to do multiple numbers at the same time?  I was thinking of putting 3 different 'reading from binary file' blocks with the rest of the 'prompts', 'data type', etc.. and then connecting them on the same wire.
    However, I got into a mess already when I tried to read one .bin file to dynamic data type --> spectral measurements --> graph waveform.  The error was Not enough memory to complete this operation...  Why is that?  That didnt happen in the help example "Read Binary File.vi"...  Has it got something to do with the dynamic data type?
    Thank you for your time.

  • Can you have one icloud storage plan for multiple devices

    hi,
    i'm wondering if there is a way of consolidation various icloud storage plans into one.
    i only use my free 5gb for my 5s as i back up photos to my mac, however my wife has already upgraded her storage plan for her 5c to the £1/month.
    with the new release of backing up your entire photo library on you mac (which im keen to do) im going to need to upgrade my own account as the mac is set up for my apple id.
    i currently also pay for itunes match.
    im keen to know if there is a way we can use one large back up facility for: my 5s, the mrs's 5c, the mac, with out paying for multiple storage plans.
    im guessing the itunes match is stand alone but if i can have one payment for large storage and put everything there that would be ideal, and seem a reasonable request for most families.
    any help greatly appreciated
    thanks
    Scott
