How to use Find my Mac on a different iCloud account?

I have my own iCloud account set on my mac and on my iPhone, however on my iPhone, I manage to use my dad's iCloud account so he can use the find my iphone app on my phone. I do this while still having all other icloud stuff (eg. imessage or app store) with my own icloud account/apple id (not my dads). However I recently bought a macbook air and Im trying to set up the find my mac on icloud but for some reason, i can only have one icloud account at the same time, and i wanted to have my dads icloud/apple id for the find my mac and my own apple id for the rest of the stuff. Does anyone know how to do this?

You can see the locations of your devices and take additional actions by going to http://www.icloud.com, then signing in and clicking on Find my iPhone.

    Can I use find my iPhone with out an iCloud account?

    Ok! So there's no way around it then? My friend has an iPhone 4 that she got used and the 3 available account have been used up. I understand how that works but was wondering if there was a way around that so she could still use the find my iPhone app to locate the phone if needed. Thxs

  • HOW TO?: Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

    Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account.  For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
    On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

  • How to back up multiple iphones/ipads with different icloud accounts but same apple id

    I would like to back up 3 idevices each with different icloud accounts to itunes. But they use the same apple id so that itune purchases can be installed on each device (2 iphones and 1 ipad).
    All I want to do is create a backup in case the phones need to be restored. I also want to back up before downloading iOS 8.
    The Macbook Pro that I will back up to has one user and one itunes library.
    Is this possible without mixing up address books and contacts etc? Appreciate if some one could direct me to detail step-by-step instructions if they exist or please tell me how I can do this.
    Thanks.

    With Family Sharing they don't need to have the same Apple ID anymore.
    But backups to iTunes are kept separate among multiple devices; Apple ID and iCloud isn't involved at all. Just make sure the devices do not have the same name.

  • Can I use Find IPhone app with two different itunes accounts?

    I have a "main" itunes account.  Daughter just got a new iphone but she has a new itunes account (different from mine).  Can I use the app "Find iphone" with both phones?  I cannot seem to be able to "add" her to my app.

    Yes.
    Simply load the app onto her iPhone.
    Note that the app allow you to find a different iPhone. You can use it to locate your own iPhone but if your own iPhone is in your hands and you are using the app...
    Anyone can us the app to log into their own iCloud account and find their own iPhone (ie.You use her iPhone to locate your iPhone and vice-versa).

  • How too add another iPhone to Maps with DIFFERENT iCloud accounts

    I want to send directions to my wife's iPhone BUT we have different iCloud IDs. 
    According to suppport article, both of us must have SAME iCloud ID.
    IS THERE A WAY AROUND THIS?

    Thank you

    Stealing is NOT the only reason to want to transfer music and paid apps from one account to another. 
    The family has been using one itunes account to purchase music and apps.  This account was set up under my user name.  I gave my wife my old ipad and got the 3-kids new ipads.  I want to give all of the music and apps under my user name to my wife's new itunes account so the family can keep using them and I can have a separate account.  Even if I have to re-pay for the music and apps. 
    Is it possible?

  • How do you use family share when we all currently use the same Apple ID but different iCloud accounts?

    our family is currently using all the same Apple ID so we don't have to purchase thing twice, but now I want to set up the family share. Do we all have to have our own Apple ID to set up the family share? We do all have separate iCloud's accounts, I'm not sure if that even makes a difference.

    Hello me1002,
    That is a good question. Everyone will need their own Apple ID that is signed into iCloud and iTunes. When setting this up, someone will need to be the Organizer so whom ever it is will champion this. Then everyone else will need to sign in to each respective accounts and then the organizer will need to send out invites to join Family Sharing. If you get that all setup, remember that when making purchases from those Apple ID will belong to that specific Apple ID so if anyone leaves, others will not have access to that purchased content. 
    Start or join a family group using Family Sharing

  • HT201365 How to use Find my Phone with secondary iCloud account in iOS 7

    The ability to use Find my Phone with a secondary iCloud account has been removed in iOS 7.  I want to be able to track my children's phones, but don't want to share an iCloud account with them.  They know I am tracking their phones, and this worked fine for us prior to iOS 7.  On their phones, I had Find my Phone turned off under their iCloud, and then added my iCloud to their phone as a secondary account, and turned Find my Phone on under my iCloud account.  When I would launch Find my Phone on my phone, it would show me the location of all of my devices and of their phones. 
    In iOS 7, Find my Phone is not listed under the secondary account.  What is the workaround for this?  I know that I can go to a PC and log into their iCloud account and see Find my Phone that way, but I can't do that from my iPhone because it is linked to my iCloud account.
    Can I link two or more iCloud accounts in the Find my Phone app on my phone? 

    Just ignore any prompts you get. Don't click the move to iCloud button and don't visit me.com/move. Just keep using mobileme as you have been.
    The ONLY clickable button is "Open iCloud.com".  I have NO other options. (Using Mac OS on a MacPro)
    ( somehow my reply was marked as a correct answer, I did not do this, and I can find a way to remove it.)

  • How to use 'Find' menu in Screens

    Hi all,
    I wanted to know how to use 'Find' menu in screens.
    Actually I have created a screen through SE51 and used the pushbutton to assign the function 'Find' ( one with binoculars ). The screen uses a table control to bring all the data from the DB table in the PBO module. When the user uses FIND button the system should prompt a search pop up screen onto which he will enter the search parameter and when he enter that the corresponding line item should be displayed on the tablecontrol. I wanted to know what logic should be incorporated in the program if that pushbutton is used. Please reply immediately. Its urgent.
    Regards,
    Bhavani.

    Hello,
    In the PAI under a module (user_command for example) when the user click the button you should use the command READ TABLE (if you look at the help, there's some options to do the READ dynamically - [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d3/2e974d35c511d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm]) to get the line index and with it you set the TOP_LINE of the table control ( tc_table-top_line = sy-index for example).
    Doing this the selected line will be the first in the table control on the next step (PAI/PBO).
