  • HT204053 can I have multiple icloud accounts for one apple id?

    I have multiple people in my family using our original apple id .  As they have gotten iphones, macbooks, etc they register there devices under our originale apple id.  over the holidays when my youngest child got her ipod touch and registered it for icloud, two of the children now are seeing each others texts?  Is there a way to use the same apple id for the family and have seperate icloud accounts for each person or should we have a seperate apple id for each person?

    Yes but the issue with receiving each other's text messages is not being caused by sharing the same iCloud account.  To fix this, each person needs to be using a separate Apple ID for iMessage on their devices.  (Note: you can continue to use the same iTunes account on all your devices but each person should use a different ID for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime).  There are a couple of things you need to do to sort all this out.
    First decide who will be keeping the current ID for all services.  On the device(s) belonging to the other people in your family, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in with a saparate ID for each person.  After doing so you will no longer be getting each other's messages on your devices.
    Next, to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    For iCloud, to avoid having merged data by syncing with the same iCloud account you will need to migrate each person to their own iCloud account.  To do this, first decide who will be keeping the current account.  On the other devices go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from the device, not from iCloud.  The device(s) that will be keeping the current account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My [iDevice].  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID on the device(s) belonging to each person.  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to un-merge the data in your iCloud accounts you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

  • Is there a way to have two iCloud accounts for one Apple Id

    I want to keeo sharing my apps with my wife but Dont want our safari info and contacts and calenders to sync together

    You're confusing icloud and itunes store accounts.  Individual users should have their own icloud accounts (using their Apple ID) but multiple users can share the same ID for logging into the itunes store account.

    Can I have two iCloud accounts on one IPad?

    Yes, you can add a second ("secondary") iCloud to a device as mendi1 stated.  There are some limitations with secondary iCloud accounts.  Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, syncing Bookmarks and Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My iDevice.  Also push email only works in the primary account; only fetch mail is supported in a secondary account.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020.

  • Can you have 2 iCloud accounts on one device, i would like to share photo stream with my wife but not calendar, contacts

    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

  • Can you have two iTunes accounts on one computer?

    Just bought a MacBook Air which I'm sharing with my husband. Is it possible to have two active iTunes accounts on one computer? We both have very different tastes in music and we have our own iPhones that we'd like to update differently. Would be great to have the option to separate our accounts.

    Yes you can... and it's not that hard

    You need to setup two separate user accounts on your PC and then log into iCloud in each one of them.

  • Can we have two iCloud accounts on one computer

    My partner and I share the MacBookPro and mostly use our iPads.  Though we sign in to two different accounts when using the Mac Book all my pictures and bookmarks show up in both accounts.  I am the only one with an iCloud account at this point.  I thought each account on the Mac was separate.

    Setup 2 computer user accounts, then setup iCloud in each user account.

    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
    Simplest way is to create a New User Account.
    Each user will then have their own iTunes library..

    Yes, you can. Use separate Mac OS X user accounts, or launch iTunes with the Option key held down and switch between libraries as needed.

  • Can i have two icloud accounts on 1 apple id

    My wife and i share i  tunes account, but on new 5c the icloud shares contacts on both phones.is there a way to change that.

    Welcome to the Apple Community dirttracker.
    One of you needs to sign out of iCloud  and use their own ID.
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account, then sign in with their own ID, if they don't yet have one, use the create Apple ID option.

  • Can u have two icloud accounts attached to one itunes account

    i would like to have my daughter ipod touch on a different account so that i dont recieve her texts on my phone.  can i have two icloud accounts to one itunes account so that i dont have to open another itunes account and repurchase all her apps and music

    No really.  See:
    Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
    You can resolve the Messages and similar FaceTime problem by first setting them up using the Apple /iTunes ID email address and then adding another email messaging/calling email address and then deleting the Apple/iTunes ID email address.
