Help with 2 separate iCloud accounts

I have 2 icloud  accounts, one is from MobileMe and then one for my regular apple id.  Is there a way to merge these and discontinue my MobileMe?

No.
By your "regular apple id" do you mean the AppleID you use for iTunes and App Store purchases?
If so, you'll have to continue using that AppleID for iTunes and the AppStore to keep your purchases.
You can also continue to use your old (MobileMe) AppleID and email address for iCloud.
If you already had MobileMe (and then iCloud), why would you setup another iCloud account using your iTunes / AppStore AppleID?
Which account has the @mac.com / @me.com / @icloud.com email address you want to use? That will determine which account you use for iCloud.

  • I need help with changing my iCloud account details

    I have just change my email details on all of my other apple accounts. With this I also change my password but now I can't change my iCloud account details because my password and email are different. Can anyone help....?

    On a computer, you sign out of the current account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  On an iOS device you delete the existing account then sign back in with the new credentials.

  • I have two apple accounts, with two separate iCloud accounts, both with information I need on my iPhone and mac. One email is no longer valid therefore I can't varify it via emial. How do I get info onto my phone or onto one account?

    I have two different email accounts/IDs because one of my account email's is no longer valid, therefore I am unable to verify it via the varification email. I can not use my current email/apple ID to change it to becuase it is set as my backup on the first account. So frustrating because I am now paying for two seperate iclouds and cloud music storage as well. Just bought my mac and I am having trouble getting music onto my iphone because the majority is on the old, non valid email address account but I have to use my current apple ID on my iphone.... any suggestions on how to not lose everything and have it all in one place would be great! Thanks!

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • My wife and I have separate login for the Macbook, and separate iCloud accounts, by my contacts still sync to her iPhone. Why is this, and how can we fix it so every time she turns iCloud on, she doesn't end up with all my contacts?

    Hey everyone,
    This problem has been bugging me for a very long time, and have not been able to find the answer I am looking for.
    My wife and I both have separate iphone's with separate iCloud accounts and all. We also both use a Macbook Pro with separate logins.
    The issue is, when my wife logs in to her account on the macbook, and turns the contacts on to sync with icloud on her phone, all of my contacts are saving to her phone.
    This has happened multiple times, and she says she just wont use it, but I rather have everything work together correctly.
    Please help!!!

    If you share an Apple ID, both of your phone numbers should be linked to that ID. You should be able to use your phone number as well. My wife, my daughter and I all share an Apple ID for purchases, and we each text from our iOS devices using our own iPhone numbers.
    When iOS 6 came out, you were able to link the phone number with your Apple ID to use for Messages and FaceTime. You will need to sign out of messages on all devices and then start the process all over again.
    Take a look at this.

  • Recently created a new iCloud account, but want to use my previous iCloud email address (created with a different iCloud account)... help needed!!

    Guys,
    I hope you can help me out on this, but I have a problem...
    A few years ago I created an iCloud account on my old iPhone 4S.
    Back then, I used an email address for iCloud registration that's no longer active.
    Anyway, I also made an iCloud email address back then.
    - Now I have a brand new iPhone 5S (totally love it)... and I just created an iCloud acccount with an other email address than I used back at the time I had my old 4S.
    But... now I would like to use the same 'old' iCloud email address that I used on my previous 4S iCloud account.
    Since that previous iCloud account is linked to an email address that no longer exists, I don't know how to do this!!
    Can someone please help??

    Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
    Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

  • Two iPhones with same Apple ID and want two separate icloud accounts.

    I have two iPhones both of which are set up with the same Apple ID. How can I set up separate icloud accounts for each phone?  My phone has same email for Apple ID and icloud account. I wants wife's phone to have icloud set up with her own email account.  Right now her phone keeps automatically reverting to my email address for icloud.

    To migrate to a separate account she will have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the current account to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted (if she's running iOS 7), choose Keep on My iPhone (to keep a copy of the iCloud data on her phone), then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload the data to the account.  (Deleting the account only deletes it from her phone, not from iCloud.  This won't effect your phone.)
    Once she's on a separate account, you can each sign into your account on icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • HT2513 I have a family with 5 iPhones and separate iCloud accounts. How can we all share a common calendar?

    My family had 5 iPhone 4S with separate iCloud accounts. How can we all share a common ICal amongst each other to manage the family schedule.

    So you've shared the calendar, your family has accepted and added the calendar to their devices, but they do not recieve any changes or additons thay have been made since then? Is that correct?
    Is the calendar you shared in your iCloud accounts in Calendar (as opposed to another account you've set up to sync calendars with your device)?
    What happens if one of you family members attempts to edit the calendar?
    Do you have a computer form which you can access the iCloud.com site? Does it refelct the latest updates to the shared calendar?

    You got it with that same apple id thing. You can use different apple id's, but then they will not sync. Apple does allow as many free apple id's as you want, but they are in the business to make money.

  • My wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

  • Not sure if this means I created a separate iCloud account.  Please help.

    When I first upgraded my iPad to iOS5 I turned on icloud but little else.  I assume this means that the iCloud account was created under the primary Apple ID.  My wife received a new iPad 2 for your b'day and I set her up with my primary Apple ID for purchases but with her own iCloud id.  My research indicates that for our needs - one Apple ID for purchases and separate iCloud IDs would be the way to go.  Yesterday I attempted to turn on syncing for Notes and it was indicated on my iPad that I needed an @me e-mail to do this and so I requested one and got it.  When I did so I was never asked to setup a password nor had I been asked the questions I was asked when setting up my wife's.  So now - did I create a separate iCloud account when obtaining the @me address or do I have to do something else?  I'd like to attach my syncing to a separate iCloud account as well rather than the master Apple account (thinking this is what I should do).
    Thank you.

    anyone?

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

    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.

  • HT4528 How do I set up separate icloud accounts on two phones with one apple id?

    My husband and I have two iPhone 5s and one Apple ID.  I set up my iCloud account and we want to set up a separate one for him so we don't share each other's contacts, etc.

  • I have two separate iCloud accounts.  How do I merge them?

    I have two separate iCloud accounts, one at mac.com and one at me.com.  But I only want to have one iCloud account.  How do I merge the two into one keeping all the data in each?

    If you have two accounts with separate iTunes Store purchases, only a senior Apple support tech can help you with that. It took several hours for mine, when a total stranger hijacked my email to use for their own (no, they could not access my account, but I was getting email from their connections. Like, D'Oh!) Going by what you're saying in your message, as long as your email ID has the same name preceding the @, all emails still go to you. I also have all three, but only use the first one.

  • HT204053 Do I need a separate icloud account for each email account?

    Do I need a separate icloud account with each email address?

    Hi Winston and thank you so much for helping me.
    What I would like to do is this. I have 3 email accounts that are important and I use every day so here is where I got messed up in my thinking. I have to select which email to receive my messages. To answer I have to go to each account
    as I do not want to share my email accounts names. Can I assign each aol account name to an apple Id and have the messages go to that account only?
    Winston, I thank you so much.
