HT204053 how do I set up a sub account in iCloud?

How do I set up a sub account in icloud? We need three separate email addresses in this house but only have one Apple ID. Since the apple ID is an email address, I'm sort of in a catch 22. I can't set up individual icloud accounts because I don't have other apple ID's. I can't get other apple ID's because you have to use one to get an icloud account... Very confusing. Our main email address transfered seamlessly to icloud and we love it but we want to ditch our Advertisement ridden verizon email and have a separate email for my husbands business contacts and my business contacts. Everyone says we can just sign up for other icloud accounts but... well... the whole catch 22 thing. Someone please help, I feel like I'm chasing my tail here.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You cannot set up subaccounts, as you couldwith the family pack for MobileMe. I'm not sure why you can't create separate Apple IDs and hence iCloud accounts, it isn't good practice to share and iCloud account between different people. All you need to do, is each create your own iCloud account, choosing your old email address when you do so.

How do I set up a seperate account for my wife?

We finally purchased a nice new iPhone for my wife. But she would like her own iTunes account. How do I set up a seperate account for her? She has her own laptop, with an iTunes account on it that I was using. Should I just un-install that iTunes package and have her download a new version? I'd rather have two versions so I don't lose the music on that old iTunes account. It's not huge, but would be a PITA.

Apple ID
Go to iTunes > Store > Sign Out (your apple id) and sign your wife apple id in.

I have an iTunes account with my own music library. My wife wants to have her own music library. Is there a way of setting up a sub account for her, or do I have to set of husband playlists and a separate set of wife playlists?

Sorry, but that's not possible.
You can share iTunes libraries on a network > iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer

There is no such account. The iPod is really a one-user device
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

You can then redeem a gift card(s) into the account

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are trying to set up a new Apple ID, please follow the instructions in the following article:

Since this is for your young son, I also recommend taking a look a the the built-in parental controls in iTunes:

iCoud email accounts are tied to iCloud accounts. If she has her own iOS device go to to Settings>iCloud and set up an iCloud account. This will generate an corresponding iCloud email address.

My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account, but would like to have separate apps on our phones. How can I set up a separate account for her?

My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account for both our iPhones, but she wants separate apps from mine. How can I set up a second account in her name, delete the apps on her phone and start from scratch with just the apps she wants on her phone?

If you have the old phone, connect it to iTunes, right click on the device, and choose transfer purchases. If you no longer have the old phone, I don't believe there is a way to recover them, as they were on your original device.

How do I set up a mail account for an older macbook?

I'm trying to set up a mail account for my dad on a used (but refurbished) macbook. It's running 0SX10.6.8. I'm not sure how to configure the incoming and outgoing mail servers. I didn't have to do this for my macbook air and my brother did not have to do it for his pro. I don't know if im supposed to use POP or IMAP. A window will pop up asking for the account type, incoming mail server, user name, and password. I don't know what to do from here.

HT5646 should I set up a different account for each child? if so, how do I manage itunes money between two kids?

should I set up a different apple account for each child? if so, how do I manage itunes money between two kids?

Hello staatsfamily,
Having a separate Apple ID for each child will allow each child to keep their purchases and iCloud information separate. It will also allow you to provide an iTunes Store Allowance for each child:
With iTunes Allowance, you can send a monthly iTunes Store credit to anyone with an iTunes Store account. It's a great way for parents to manage their children's spending on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store.
Once you have created an Apple ID for each child, you can provide an iTunes Store allowance to each Apple ID. The following article will guide you in how to set this up:
iTunes Store Allowance
