can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes and no.
There is no issues at all if you use two user accounts on the mac, each can sync with one of the accounts.
If you are using a single user account, you can add the second account as a secondary account in settings > mail, contacts and calendars and you can then sync mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders from the second account, but not documents and data, back to my mac or photostream.

Can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.

Welcome to the Apple community Pammy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.

HT4993 Would it be possible to create a separate itunes account for my iphone and ipod on the same computer?

im trying to set up my iphone and dont want stuff from my ipod..... is iy possible to make another itunes account just for my iphone and keep it on the same computer? please help thanks

You can use one iTunes account as it sees each device separetly. I have my iPod, iPad, and iPhone all on one iTunes account without any problems.

Need to have a separate iCloud account for daughter's iPod touch

I would like to manage all my iOS devices under one appleID, but with separate icloud accounts for my two daughters, each with their own iPod. How do I retain my Apple ID on daughter's iPod but have a separate iCloud address so that she doesn't receive my Messages, etc?
Thanks in advance.

You'll have to have separate iCloud accounts to have separate email addresses. You can do this and still share the same iTunes account for purchasing. There is no requirement that they be the same ID.
To change the iCloud ID on each of your daughter's devices, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) If she is syncing any data with your iCloud account, when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to select Keep On iPod. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). 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. If they have any of your data in their new accounts, go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each of the accounts separately and delete it.
To prevent getting each other's text messages, use separate IDs for iMessage as well. If you are currently sharing the same ID for iMessage, on each of their devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.

HT5527 So do you need separate iCloud accounts for your iphone AND your laptop?

iCloud complimentary storage plans expire tomorrow. Do we need separate iCloud accounts for iphone and laptop?

I'm thinking you had a Mac/Me.com account like I did that got transferred to iCloud. We were kinda grandfathered in to 25gig storage while the basic iCloud account storage is 5. As far as I know that storage plan is the only thing that expires tomorrow. You'll just be reverted back to the basic 5gig storage.
As far as anything else you don't need to have a different iCloud account, remember only one iCloud account can be used for the full suite of services on your phone but you could use a different one for iTunes and App store purchases if you wanted to. My wife and I share one account for those purchses on all our devices and computers but I do also use a separate iCloud account as my main one on my phone to keep our emails, messages, etc. separate.

How many devices can you have on 1 icloud account

how many devices can you have on 1 icloud accout?

It's unusual for a whole family to use the same icloud account, since that way everyone gets the same emails, contacts, calenders, etc. All it takes is one family member to delete a contact by mistake and then it will be deleted from everyone's devices. Not good. The usual advice is for every individual to have their own icloud account.
The iTunes store is another issue - everyone can use the same Apple ID to access the same itunes account to download music, apps, etc. without everyone having to buy the items multiple times.

HT4436 can I have a second icloud account for my spouse and use the same apple account

I was trying to find out if it is possible to set up a second icloud email account for my wife and both use the same apple ID so we can share bought apps without her receiving all of my calander notices, email alerts etc?

Yes, you can delete your account from settings > iCloud. Your data will be stored in your personal account (simply choose to delete all information from your iPad when prompted). Then make a new one (again, settings > iCloud) making an account for your class. When you are done in the classroom, delete the iCloud account again and login with your personal account When prompted, always delete the information.
Kind regards,

Can i have two separate icloud accounts for my devices

My iCloud stoarge is filling up because it is all the stuff from my iPad and iPhone. can i have separate accounts so i can have a full amount of storage on each instead of it sharing. Also, if i can, would it sync to my iCloud on my Mac Pro?

You could set up separate accounts on your devices, but the iCloud data will not be synced between your devices any more. In other words, the accounts will not sync with each other.

Can I have a separate iCloud account and a Apple Id account to keep my daughters phone seperate from mine for the contact?

My daughter's iPad and my iPhone 5 are under one Apple id. She was 10 and unless I lied about her birth date she could not have a email account. Now she is 11 and has a email acct (lied about the age) so she could facetime. Now she has the new iPhone 5c and I was told at the apple store to set her up a iCloud account and that way my contacts won't go on her phone. It didn't work so I just shut off the mail and contacts on my phone and hers so they won't blend. I still want to track her phone, her location and her purchases. I trust her, just not others.

In case it has escaped your view, these forums are Apple's Forums. If we help you violate Apple's rules, then we have a problem.
There are reasons for the age limits. Lying about them is certainly a poor lesson to teach your daughter.

Can you have different face time accounts when two iPads use the same iTunes account?

I use one iTunes account for all apple products but want to use face time. Can I set it up so when we are not together we can face time each other.

Yes. In settings, FaceTime, just add an email. Email acts as a phone number. When you place a call to the other ipad, just make sure it's to that email.

Should you get a separate iCloud account for each family member if you are sharing calendars and contacts?

My husband got his first iPhone. We are now an Apple Family. We share contacts and calendar with our phones and computers. Is one iCloud account ok or should he get his own account? If he gets his own account, would it conflict with mine?

3 accounts.
1 for your you
1 for your husband
1 for shared purchases (the original if it already has purchases, as purchased content is signed with the Apple ID that it was purchased with, so it cannot be transferred to a different account).
The individual account are for Messages, FaceTime, iCloud backup, bookmarks, etc...
Settings -> iCloud
Settings -> Mail (if you use your Apple ID for you mail)
Settings -> Messages
Settings -> FaceTime
Settings -> Game Center
The shared account is for purchases
Settings -> iTunes & App Store
Settings -> Music -> Home Sharing
Settings -> Video -> Home Sharing

Can you have 11.1.1.3 and 11.1.2.3 on the Same Servers

can you run Different two version of essbase on the Same Servers ????
I dont thin k this is Best Pratice but Thought I would ask

Hi ,
Not yet tried .I have established multiple instances of essbase as windows services on a single server.This one will be priority to test it out.
if you have a different vmwares ,then install 11.1.2.3 in vm 1 and configure the shared services .In Vm 2 install the essbase 11.1.1.3 & try to configure with shared services 11.1.2.3.
11.1.1.3 by default runs on Tomcat where as 11.1.2.3 by default runs on Weblogic.I have not tried this one .This is a sample gesture from my end.
But in 9.2 version ,I had my 9.2 essbase running in one machine and in other machine i had my 9.3.1 shared services running and was configured with essbase 9.2.I was able to provision users from shared services 9.3.1 to 9.2 essbase
Thanks,

Can you set up an itunes acount for 3 iphones that wont share all contacts and info between them

im having trouble understanding itunes adding songs is a pain and when we conect another phone it erases and gives you what the last person had and ther contacts

On a Windows machine:-
Hold the shift button down when you double click to open iTunes, it will ask if you want to create a new library, do so for each device you want to sync.
Hold the shift button down each time you launch iTunes and choose the library you wish to load.
I am sure someone will come along and fill you in on how to do the same thing on Mac. For the life of me I can not remember
