How do I backup 2 iPhones to the same iCloud account?

How do I back up 2 different iPhones to the same iCloud backup?

It is not true that they get merged. . I have three iPhones and one iPad backed up up to the same iCloud account. Each device has its own backup.

By signing into the same iCloud account in Settings>iCloud and turning on iCloud Backup. Caution: this will merge the data from both phones, and cause any actions taken on either phone to sync to the other. If you don't want a common set of data on the phones, don't sign into the same iCloud account on them.

Can you backup more than one iphone to the same icloud account?

My wife and I both have iphones and for simplicity's sake have always used the same itunes account and now with IO5 find that our itunes and icloud accounts are the same. Before enabling backup for our iphones we wondered if you can backup two different iphones to the same icloud account? Or will only one of us be able to backup to icloud and the other have to backup locally on our PC?

You can back both up with the same Apple ID (iCloud account). They will be kept as separate and unique backups.

I have 2 ipads and my iphon on the same icloud account and it wont let me back it up cause i dont have enough space so I want to move my iphone over to a new icloud account i made with a new apple id but i dont want to delet the ipads off their account?

How do I do that I despreatly need help!!!

To migrate your phone to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep on the phone, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your other devices won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7) and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted . Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.

How do I sync different iPhones on the same iTunes account?

I want to be able to sync two different iPhones on the same iTunes account. I want to be able to sync different music and movies. Can that be done?

"is there anyplace I watch a tutorial for this?"
Not really. And it's not that difficult at all.
Plug it in, select it and select what you want to sync.
" An APPLE rep told me to check Sync only checked songs and videos
Manually manage music and videos"
You can do it this way but it's a lot more work.
(Apple reps are just people like you and me and don't always know everything)
"And he told me to uncheck Sync Music in the music tab"
I would not recommend this especially if syncing more than one device.
Create a playlist (or multiple) for each device.
Select the music tab and sync only the playlists you want. Then add/delete from these playlists to add/remove from the iPhone.

My iPad is receiving the phone calls that the iPhone under the same iCloud account is receiving, how do I stop/prevent this?

I have an older iPad that we use at my office for Pandora. My iPhone is connected to the same iCloud account as my iPhone is & once in a while my iPad will receive a phone call, not a FaceTime call, from one of my contacts that's trying to call me. It will say the contact's name up at the top like usual, it plays my iPhone ringtone, says "Slide to Answer" but also beneath that it says "from my iPhone." I still receive the phone call on my iPhone but I also receive it on my iPad & I'd obviously like it to stop. Can anybody help me out?

Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone cellular calls on your iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

You can do this on the phone and the iPad. Settings>FaceTime>iPhone Cellular Calls>Off.

Can you use find my iPhone with iPad and iPhone and the same icloud account for both?

I have an iPhone and iPad. I use find my iPhone for both. If I use the same icloud account for both, how do I separate them on the map, or if I lose one and want to remote wipe the lost one but not the one in my possession?

It will list each device separately, I even have two macs along with my ipad listed

How many devices can be added to the same iCloud account?

Hello
I would like to know the maximum number of mobile devices than can be used with the same iCloud account?
All devices are running with iOS 8.1.2

Hi Emilie87,
It sounds like what you are asking is addressed in this article.
Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
When you turn on iTunes Match, Family Sharing, or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, that device becomes associated with your Apple ID. You can associate your Apple ID with up to 10 devices, with a maximum of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. You don't need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
After you associate a device with your Apple ID, you can't associate that device with another Apple ID for 90 days.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

How can I sync two iphones to the same itunes account without deleting

My husband & I both have iphones & we share the same itunes account. He just got a iphone 4 and we are trying to transfer his music from the old phone to the new one but we are unable to do that. There is a msg that says if we choose to sync all the songs will be replaced with music from the itunes library. So does that mean he will lose all the music on his phone, replacing it with my library? Help Please!

I asked a simular question. It is confusing indeed.

How do I pull backup files (pictures) from another device to my new device, and merge multiple backups that are on the same iCloud account? I have an iphone4 and iphone5 backup. I want to pull photos from both into my new iPhone5

Have multiple iPhone backups across 2 iPhones and 3 iPads. I need to pull backup files and pictures off of backed up devices that are not my current in-use device. How do I do that? They are all under one apple ID.

If you still have the devices, import them to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them to your current device. If they are only stored in backups, the only way to access them is to restore the device to the entire backup. Note: you can only restore photos in an iPhone backup to another iPhone, and from an iPad backup to another iPad. If the backups are on your computer, you may be able to extract the photos from the backup using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

My father updated his iPhone and once he did that he would receive all of my texts and iMessages, is that because we are on the same iCloud account? And if that's why how can I remove it or make it so he doesn't get all my messages

you can change the accounts of different apps in the phone's settings menu.

My phone has the correct AppleID in the in settings section but asks me to login with one that isn't mine. I deleted the ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with mine. How do I get my iPhone on the same page?

My iphone4 has the correct Apple ID in the information settings section and asks me to login to my ID most of the time but when I try to update my apps, it asks me to login with an ID that isn't mine. I deleted the wrong ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with my own ID to update apps. How do I get my iphone on the same page?

How did you obtain these apps? All apps are DRM protected & tied forever to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID(account), nor can they be updated using any Apple ID other than the one that was used to originally obtain them.

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.

How do I set up a second iphone on the same iTunes account but give my wife ability to have her own calendar and contacts?

Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note: It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not just make a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. it will work. I am using it through this
