Can you have two apple IDs on an ipad to join two clouds?

My son has his own apple ID setup up on his iPad3 with iCloud. Can he login to my iCloud to share my data from my MBP using my apple ID without deleting his own apple ID and iCloud setup? Under iCloud, the only option is "delete" account and we don't want to lose his settings or iCloud files.

for iCloud synchronization you can only connect to one account at any one time.
That's not true. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4020
You can have a secondary iCloud account setup on iOS5 devices for Mail, Notes, Contacts, Calendars, and Reminders.
iCloud really isn't intended for sharing data among users
It is if you want to share Calendars and Reminders. See: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694

  • Can i have 2 apple ids on 1 iPad?

    Is it possible to have 2 apple ids on 1 ipad?

    I have the same question. My goal is to be able to listen to my music on the ipad provided by work.
    I have two apple id's - one personal  with ipod & itunes at home and one for with ipad and app store at work.
    My personal apple i.d. is what is associated with the music.
    I don't purchase anything from itunes on the work device.
    I purchase from the app store on work device (with work apple i.d.)
    Is it possible to log in or access my music on my work device?
    Thank you for your time and help.

  • HT204053 Can you have multiple apple ids that access one itune account??

    I need to know if I can have multiple Apple Ids attached to one itunes account.  Trying to set facetime up on these separate devices and it keeps failing.  Any help would be appreciated.  I tried to add additional emails, but I all I get is verifying and it never verifies it.

    yes you can still sync all the devices on itunes using one master itunes/appleID account.
    Music:
    If you want to select specific playlists for your kids, DON'T enable iTunes Match on their devices, otherwise they will get ALL the playlists on their devices (learned that the hard way)
    If you have wi-fi synced enabled that should still work.
    Apps:
    I manually select which apps they get on their devices using itunes. It only changes when they re-sync.
    Don't enable AUTO downloads on their devices for Apps or Music purchases.
    Since I also have young kids using these devices:
    I have restrictions setup on their devices. I don't allow them to install/delete apps, nor do I allow them to make any account changes on their devices. This way their devices stay in order and get backed up to icloud. I can easily restore their devices if I needed too.
    Once in a while I will disable the restrictions so I can update all their apps.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT2490 Can you have to apple ids on the same MacBook Air?

    I am getting a MacBook Air and my dads and i both have apple ids. Is there a way that we can both have our own ids on the Air and just login to them when we get on?

    You can create a new user for another Apple ID. Open System Preferences > Users and Groups and select + button to create an user. Then, go to  > Log Out and log in the new user

  • Can you have 2 Apple IDs using the one credit card?

  • HT204053 can you have 2 apple ids under one account

    Our family has several apple devices.  Our phones and computers use icloud to coordinate calendars.  However we do not want to receive each others imessages and such.  With several iphones on imessage and icloud and under the same id this has recently become an issue.  How do we stop it from happening but stay coordinated with itunes and calendars?

    Each user should have their own Apple ID for an icloud account.  You can defined shared calendars that all family members can access and edit.

  • HT201335 In my house there are 3 iPads.  Can you have multiple Apple IDs set up to work with the Apple TV?  Obviously one at a time.

      Is it possible to have Apple TV device "remember" all three ID's?  If so how does one set that up?

    At any time, you can go in the settings in the iTunes Store section to setup a different account.  This will only have to do with rental to be charge to a different account and photostream.

  • HT5622 Can you have multiple apple ids and all share the same apps and music?

    I have multiple devices, iphone 5s (myself), mini ipad (son), 5th generation ipod (daughter). When I receive imessages they are going to the other devices and not my phone. Is this because I have all devices set up on the same Apple User ID or am I missing something in Settings that needs to be turned on/off? I have all devices under the same User ID to control the purchases. Now I'm thinking maybe each device needs to have it's own User ID and if I switch them now, will we all still share the same apps and music? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

    Wouldn't you only need to create a new apple ID and put that on your phone instead of your old apple ID that is merged?

  • Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?

    Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?
    If so do you know how to do it?

    It depends on what you want to do.
    You could, for example, have one AppleID for iCloud backup [and therefore message syncing, notes syncing, etc] and a second one for iTunes [music, iBooks, etc].
    But if you are looking for a way to flip everything between different appleIDs, then no.

  • Can i have 2 Apple IDs using the same playlist from the same pc?

    can i have 2 Apple IDs using the same playlist from the same pc?

    Easiest way is to create separate computer logins with all your own info including your own iTunes library.
    I recommend each individual not have more than one AppleID because you will have purchases on multiple accounts 
    You can use more than one AppleID in an iTunes library.
    AppleID/iTunes =used for purchases.
    iTunes library = iTunes and all media on your computer.

  • HT204053 can you have multiple apple id's for the family but we all use the same iCloud?

    Can you have multiple apple id's for the family members but we all us the same iCloud account?

    You'll have to have an ID you all share in order to have a shared iCloud account. It would be sensible for each person to have their own ID and their own iCloud account for email and their own data (each would be on their own computer/iOS device or user account on a Mac) and then have a common account which everyone would sign into in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to access shared data.
    You don't want to be all using the email in a common account - if people are using email aliases remember these can't be detached from the account and transferred to another one. Having all your emails mixed up together can be somewhat impracticable.

    can you have multiple Apple TV's in the same house and network? If so how do you know which one to pick from your Idevice?

    Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.
