How do I choose  or switch between two Apple iD accounts on two devices?

I have found myself set up on my MacBookPro using one Apple id(@me.com address) and logged into iCloud on my iPod touch using another (personal e-mail). In iCloud settings on the iPod touch if I go to switch on Mail or Notes it tells me to set up a free me.com address (which I already have). I can't see a simple way to log out of my iCloud settings on the iPod Touch so as to log back in with the me.com address. If I go to use the red Delete Account button, it suggests all sorts of confusion might follow. What is my best option?
Thanks
Tony

The "Delete Account" button will not remove any data from iCloud, it will simply remove the iCloud account from your iPod.
After clicking "Delete Account" you will be able to sign in using your other account.

    Can I use two Apple ID account in one device. Are there irregularities

    You can use one ID for iTunes/iTunes Match, and another for iCloud, without any problems. You can add a secondary iCloud account in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, contacts and Calendars. Its data will appear alongside the main iCloud account though you cannot use PhotoStream with it.

  • Switching between 2 apple id accounts

    I share a account with my wife which works great except i cant backup my contacts and photos. I want to switch between her account and mine but want to make sure nothing bad will happen, as in losing stuff. When i delete her account of my device what will i lose and will it affect her account at all? If i backup under my new account and then delete it to switch back to hers will i lose all my contacts off my device until i log back in?
    Thanks for any help

    Switching accounts risks losing my photo stream photos that are older than 30 days.  When you delete an account your my photo stream photos are deleted.  Since these photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, when you sign back in my photo stream photos older than 30 days would be lost unless saved to the camera roll before deleting the account.  Your contacts and other data the appear on iCloud.com will remain on the server after deleting the account, and will sync back to your device when you sign back in.
    As David mentioned, it's usually recommended that users have separate iCloud accounts.  Another option would be to create a secondary iCloud account on your device by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with a different Apple ID.  Secondary accounts can sync mail, contacts, calendars and notes, allowing you to keep your contacts separate by syncing them with the secondary account.  Secondary accounts do not, however, support photo stream so you would still be sharing the same photo stream in the primary account with this arrangement.

    If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
    Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
    That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

    Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
    If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.

  • I have two apple id accounts with separate music lists, how do I combine the music lists on my iphone?

    I have two apple id accounts with 2 different email addresses and passcodes...how do I combine both lists of music on the two accounts into one list on my iphone, ipad and desktop?

    Stop using one. Everything you've previously purchased from it has that Apple ID stored inside the file, which can't be changed.

  • How do you sync iCloud (contact, calendar, task) to outlook 2011 for Mac? and how do you make seemless sync between iCloud to Outlook 2011 to Blackberry device or an iPad?

    I have three device: Macbook Pro (OSX 10.7.5) for work; an iPad and a Blackberry for mobile. I used mail, iCal, and Address Book combine with mobileme (iCloud) to exchange data such as contact, calendar and task from my Mackbook Pro to my iPad but never to Blackberry. The problem is my boss was asking me to change to Outlook 2011 for Mac because some of the email that I sent from Mail did not appear in my client's Blackberry. So how do you sync iCloud (contact, calendar, task) to Outlook 2011 for Mac? and how do you make seemless sync between iCloud to Outlook 2011 to Blackberry device or an iPad?

  • Two Apple ID accounts shareable?

    I know we can't merge two Apple ID accounts but can we share in iOS 8, then download then delete second one?  I want to move all my purchases under an apple email and not use a yahoo email address.

    No, you cannot do that. All purchases under any Apple ID are permanently tied to that Apple ID. See below for what you can do.

    If I create a new iTunes account for the German itunes store, what happened with my previous purchases? Do they remain on my iPhone and my Mac's iTunes?
    Nothing will happen to your existing purchases. Your computer will remain authorized - you can authorize a single computer to up to five iTunes Store accounts - and the apps and content will remain in place.
    Can I switch from one acount to the other every time I want to update an application or purchase a new one?
    As long as you're in the relevant country, yes. Again, the terms of use say that you agree not to even attempt to use an iTunes Store from outside of its country.

    I already have an Apple ID account with 4 devices connected to it but I would like to make a new one with a desperate password for my school iPad. How do I do that?

    You can create a new Apple ID and password for the iPad but none of the content downloaded using the Apple ID associated with the four devices will be available on the iPad.

    It's not possible to use two passwords with one Apple ID.

  • HT204053 Two Apple ID Accounts

    I have created two Apple ID accounts at different times and now get confused when using them.  How can I delete one account leaving only one account to use?

    You cannot - and anything purchased with an AppleID is forever tied to that AppleID. To not get mixed up, the best thing to do is to make the password on both IDs identical. Then it won't matter which one is coming up for an update - you just type in password assigned to both of them.
    Keep the passwords in sync, and pick one to use going forward. Use that one for your iTunes logon and your iCloud account.
