How to Set up Family Plan when you have two Apple IDs?

I stopped short of setting up Family plan because my wife and I have two Apple IDs each: One for iTunes ad one for iCloud. This was caused by migrating from long ago Apple "cloud" services.
The set up seems to assume you have a single ID for each person and there are no instructions to set it up using hyour current iTunesa and iCloud IDs.
Has anyone successfully set up Family Plan while they have two sets of Apple IDs?

finally I found someone else with my dilemma.
I have my iTunes/AppStore ID with all my purchases and my iCloud ID with everything else.
this is a major issue that needs to be addressed.
thank you.

Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?

Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?
If so do you know how to do it?

It depends on what you want to do.
You could, for example, have one AppleID for iCloud backup [and therefore message syncing, notes syncing, etc] and a second one for iTunes [music, iBooks, etc].
But if you are looking for a way to flip everything between different appleIDs, then no.

Can you have two apple ids on one mac?

Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud. Is this possible?

No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

What happens if you think you have two apple IDs?

I think I have two apple IDs. One I created many years ago with an IPod, but I don't know what that one is now. It has most of my music attached to it. Now I have one with my email that doesn't have all that music and I can't get the music to attach to it??

Content from the iTunes Store is permanently bound to the Apple ID through which the content was purchased. If you used two different Apple IDs, you'll need to use both IDs to authorize computers, view your purchase history, or re-download items. If you can't remember an ID or its password, try this page:

How do you switch emails when you have 2 apple IDs?

I have 2 apple IDs - one for work and 1 for personal use. However, all of my personal items are on the account with the work email and I have nothing in my personal apple ID. I thought if I cancelled my apple ID associated with my personal email then I could switch the email on my other apple ID from my work email to my personal email and then open a new apple ID with my work email address (thereby transferring my personal items over to a personal apple ID account). I can't seem to figure out how to deactivate my account. What should I do?

Hello GMCT,
I read your post, and I have linked to an article that will instruct you on how to do that:

When you have 2 apple IDs with apps: How to access all apps on a device?

Hi.
I couldn't use my newly bougt IPhone because for some reason I wasn't allowed to use my old Apple ID. I got help from an Apple Chat-service (which I can't remember how I found...) with creating a new Apple ID, but where's my previous purcases? I had a ton of apps on the old ID, how do I transfer them to the new one? I've bought some apps with the new one, but it seems like I must delete all my previously bought apps to access the new ones if I want to sync with my laptop (can't sync with two libraries on PC)... It would have been so much easier if I could just merge the IDs completely...

I found out that I can download things from App Store on the iPad from a different ID that is used to sync with PC. But it would have been nice to just have one ID for all, plain and simple. Merging of acoounts should be possible, this would make shopping much less complicated for users who have to use several IDs.

Using Touch ID for App store when you have seperate Apple IDs for iCloud and iTunes

My wife and I each have a new iPhone 5S. We share the same Apple ID for iTunes and the App Store.
In addition, we each have our own unique Apple IDs for iCloud. This enables us to use iMessage to text to each other.
Can the iPhone 5S be setup to use the Touch ID for iTunes and App store purchases when there are separate iCloud and iTunes ID on the same phone?
Currently, I can unlock my phone using the Touch ID, but the App store requests me to type the password to my wife's and my shared Apple ID whenever I wish to buy an app. I am not given the option to use the Touch ID.
I do have both the iPhone Unlock and iTunes & App Store set to "on" here: Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID
How can I use my current setup so I can approve App Store purchases with the Touch ID?

This is the screen that pops up when I attempt to purchase an app. It does not allow me to use my Touch ID.

How do I sync Apps to the iPhone 5 when I have two Apple IDs

I received my iPhone 5 last night and followed Apple's instruction on backing up my iPhone 4 to the cloud and restoring it to the new iPhone. Here's the problem: some of my older apps (those purchased with a different Apple ID) didn't make it to the new phone. Is there a way to move those to the cloud and restore those to the new phone too?
Thanks,
Chris

How have you managed to get apps on your phone that are tied to a different and unknown AppleID?
If these apps were not purchased by you, having them is effectively software piracy and you should purchase them using your own AppleID if you want to keep hem.

Can you have two apple IDs on an ipad to join two clouds?

My son has his own apple ID setup up on his iPad3 with iCloud. Can he login to my iCloud to share my data from my MBP using my apple ID without deleting his own apple ID and iCloud setup? Under iCloud, the only option is "delete" account and we don't want to lose his settings or iCloud files.

for iCloud synchronization you can only connect to one account at any one time.
That's not true. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4020
You can have a secondary iCloud account setup on iOS5 devices for Mail, Notes, Contacts, Calendars, and Reminders.
iCloud really isn't intended for sharing data among users
It is if you want to share Calendars and Reminders. See: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694

How to delete one apple id account when you have two

How do I delete the apple id and password I use on my iPhone
and just use the one on my MacBook for both devices.
When I bought my iPhone I tried to set up my apple id on the phone using the same username and password as on my MacBook
but it didn't like my password on the iPhone.
The password was acceptable on the MacBook but the iPone required a more complicated password.
So, I set up a separate Apple id on my iPhone
and now I have two apple ids and I'd like to delete one and just use one for both devices.

There's no way to delete an Apple ID. Just don't use it.

I sync two iPhones and an iPad with one iTunes library on the same computer and each device has different content. Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes. You can transfer the same music and apps to each device or different music and apps.
Are you sharing the same Apple ID or iTunes account?

HT5625 How do you merge two Apple IDs into one account?

I have two Apple IDs (it's a long story) with mixed content. I'd like to merge the accounts into one account, in order to synchronize my apple products. How do I do it?

1. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll do it. They probably won't.
2. Because Apple generally doesn't permit that.
3. Because the content remains associated with your Apple ID when you share it with other people.

I have two Apple IDs and when I got an Iphone 6, only the apps from one Apple ID are on the phone. How do I get my other apps on there?

I (stupidly) have two Apple IDs and when I got an Iphone 6, only the apps from one Apple ID are on the phone. How do I get my other apps (from my old Iphone 4) on my new Iphone? Thanks

You can use the same appleid that you purchased the apps with on the phone for the App store. Settings> iTunes & App Store and continue to use the other id for everything else allowing you to have access to your previously purchased apps. You can then either sync or download the apps without paying for them again.
It can be quite handy having two appleids - it can be quite useful if you can manage them correctly. One id for the store and one for imessage is good for privacy if you have the same id in use on another device.

Bug: when you have two or more reminder pop-ups on BB10, you can't edit 2 or more of them because the second and beyond are lost...

I notice that when you have two or more reminder pop-ups on BB10 (tasks, calendar, etc.), you can't edit 2 or more of these because the second and beyond get lost and will never pop-up again.

Hey JVanB,
Thank you for your feedback.
To better understand your issue, for example If you have two reminders and select 'View Event Details' on the 1st reminder, does the 2st reminder popup before the Details of the1st reminder displays?
Thanks.
