Can you have multiple users on one apple Id and utilize iCloud?

My family shares an apple Id and we each have multiple Apple devices. When we use iCloud we "cross pollinate" each others devices with contacts, calendar events, etc.  is it possible to manage multiple users on one apple Id with iCloud activated or are separate ID's required?

iCloud isn't designed as a multi-user service. Either you all have the same ID, and all your data is available to everyone, or you all have separate IDs and keep your data separate. You can share calendars, so that for example you could all have your own calendars but have one which is common to everyone:

If you want to share contacts you will have to do it manually. If you want to do file transfer you will have to find a third-party alternative.

    How can I have multiple users on one apple ID?
    ie: I have my apple ID with my own credit, how can I set up credit for my son under the same apple ID, so that he can still access the same apps I've already downloaded and paid for?

    I've been trying to figure out a clean way to do this too. I think you may need more than one Apple ID – one that is shared and used to purchase "sharable" items and then "individual" Apple IDs for you and your son. That's the idea that I'm pursuing for the moment.
    It seems that there must be a way to do this, App Store purchases for the Mac are licensed across multiple machines. iPhone app purchases have "all your devices" licensing. Makes me think that Apple has a process in mind for sharing an account (or associating a device with multiple accounts).
    Other things I've learned:
    - Apparently you can't merge Apple ID accounts. I asked about this once at an Apple Store and was told that there was no way to do it.
    - If you share an Apple ID the Messages app behaves in a somewhat surprising manner. It must use your Apple ID to decide where messages should be sent because all users get all messages. This can make it very hard to organize a surprise party :-)

    I interpreted his post to mean that he meant multiple human users, not multiple devices.  Hopefully, he'll clarify.

  • Can you have multiple users for one account?

    Can you have multiple users for one account? if so how do you set it up.
    We are using it for our department and it would be great to see who created what form instead of it being all one name.

    Each person should have their own account. You can easily share the forms with other people in your department. You will be able to see who the author of the form is.

  • Can you have multiple Rates within one Work Center with multiple operations

    We have a work center called Pipeshop.   Within the Pipeshop we have multiple operations such as Welding, Threading, Cutting, Grooving etc.  Each of these operations have a different cost assoicated with them.  How can you have different cost for these operations? 
    Thank you,
    Loretta

    Hi,
    For this case you need to do following activities.
    1 Create individual activity accoding to requirement, that will be used for costing.
    2  Activity planning w r t work center.  In this cost per unit is declaring.
    3. Create Routing and modify the default activity type, w r t required activity type, suitable to operations.
    Now  Order is referring the activity type, refered in Routing rather than, work center.

  • Can you have multiple users working off the same Mac pro at the same time with multiple monitors but doing different things?

    I'm buying desktops for a start up company and was wondering if I could purchase a single Mac Pro and run multiple monitors to allow multiple users to work on the computer at the same time. These users would be doing different tasks but I would hope to accomplish that on a single desktop. I know that screen sharing is possible but with only one user controlling both of the screens. Thanks in advance, sorry for my apple ignorance!

    A lot of companies are buying or leasing laptops to be used at the office by day, and carried home at night.
    Some companies are doing "Bring your own device". Bring a device to receive email -- computer/smartphone/tablet you already have, or have an allowance to buy one for your use.
    If Capital is short (and when is it not) leasing computers, to be turned in a few years, can be a huge savings because the cost is expensed as incurred. The alternative is laying out cash today, but not being able to expense the cost this year. Instead, the computer expense must be recovered over their useful life (often five years) through depreciation.

  • Can you have multiple clickboxes on one page

    Sorry... a few complicated things are coming up. I am doing a
    large project with LOTS of interactivity, which involves simulating
    a customer filling in a form and then clicking a button to move on.
    So one one page I have both a Text Entry box, and sometimes also a
    click box.
    I made the Text Entry box action "none," and put the "go to
    next" on the click box action.
    Now my boss wants two more links added to each and every
    page... a TABLE OF CONTENTS button, and also a NEXT PAGE button.
    When I added these two additonal buttons, it seems to be confusing
    Captivate.
    This is understandable, as Captivate is probably thinking
    "what the heck do you want me to do first."
    What I need to know is (a) is it possible to have multiple
    Interaction buttons or clickboxes on the same page, each doing a
    different thing; and (b) if so... how???
    (Secretly I hope the answer is NO because it will simplify my
    life tremendously).
    Thank you, QuizQueen

    Hi again QuizQueen
    Of course you may have multiple Buttons or Click Boxes on a
    single slide and have each do something different when the user
    clicks. It's all in how you configure the Buttons or Click Boxes.
    Personally I think it's easier if you use Click Boxes as I
    believe them to be more flexible.
    Often what is missed is a specific setting. When you look at
    the Options tab of the Click Box properties, you should see a
    button with a down arrow. This button is located to the immediate
    right of where you would type a URL. Click that button and you
    should see an option to open the destination in a new window. But
    click again and you see another option that is easily missed. This
    would be the option to "Continue playing project". That one is
    easily missed because it was in a disabled state (grayed out)
    initially. So if you DE-select this option, the Click Box or Button
    will carry out its assigned action without releasing the pause on
    the slide.
    Hopefully that helps you better understand it.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Can you have multiple accounts in one library?

    I've had two iTunes accounts for several years now, and it was never a problem on my old laptop--I needed the second account because I wanted to use a giftcard from outside the US, and the credit refused to apply to the US iTunes store.  However, I replaced my computer about a month ago, and the new version of iTunes won't download my iTunes purchases automatically.  When I try, it says it's already associated with another account, and it will add restrictions if I set it to automatically download purchases.  I don't know what this means, but I'd like a way around it.  I don't want to have multiple libraries (which seems to be the only way I've seen other people on the forum use multiple accounts); there's music on both accounts that I listen to all the time.  I've been stuck working off of two computers for a month now, and it's getting frustrating.  Help?

    To elaborate a bit more. The public class must match the filename, however you can declare "inner" classes.
    An inner class can be declared inside another class, or even inside another method. Where you declare that class dictates the scope it will have. However, the lack of an ability to declare these classes public (a public class must be declared inside a java file with the same name), means that they are not visible anywhere else. However, they do still have plenty of uses.
    Declaring a class inside a method is used rarely, but would look something like
    public void foo(Bar myBar = new Bar
            private String baz = "Hello";
            public String doSomething()
                 return baz;
         myBar.doSomething()
    }This declares and implements the class Bar inside the method header. Sure, this is a pretty useless example, but you could put any methods or variables inside your inner class, and they would be available only during execution of that method. (ie. only have method scope).
    }

  • Can you have multiple accounts under same apple id?

    We have 1 main apple id for our household so that anything we buy can be shared onto any of our devices. However this is a problem when we use giftcards. When 1 child redeems their gift card onto the account, they can't stop the other sibling from using their money accidentally. Is there a way to set-up separate subaccounts while still being able to share content among all of us?

    iCloud isn't designed as a multi-user service. Either you all have the same ID, and all your data is available to everyone, or you all have separate IDs and keep your data separate.

  • HT1206 can you have multiple itunes accounts one computer with seperate music library for multiple iphones?

    is it possible to seperate multiple itunes store accounts and music libraries on 1 computer for 2 iphones ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You just need to create a second iTunes account on your PC or Mac.
    To do it, open iTunes while holding down the Option (Alt) key (on a Mac) or the Shift key, and press the option to create an iTunes option. You will have to open iTunes with that key when you want to switch libraries
