HT204053 can I set up 2 separate icloud accounts on one computer
Can I use 2 apple IDs linked to two sepeare iClouds on a single computer?
If you use the integration I dont' think so.
However if you access facebook via safari then you can switch between accounts

HT204053 can i set up a new icloud account and transfer files
I have gotten divorced and really need to change my email address which is linked to icloud and has all my diary/itune/ibook purchases linked to it. I understand i CANNOT change my email so this forces me to have to create a new icloud account. How do i do this and can i set up the new icloud account to inherit my former accounts purchases?
Go to www.icloud.com, go to the mail module, acess the settings (small gear wheel, on the right), choose Preferences>Accounts and create an alias in the lefthand panel.

If my wife and I share our Imac but have separate Iphones and Ipads, can we set up 2 separate Iclouds on the Imac? Or do we have 1 Icloud account and synch our individual devices separately?
Set 2 independent users on the iMac, each can then have their own accounts (iCloud, iTunes etc)

HT204053 can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?
can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?
You can have only one iCloud "user configuration" per local user on the Mac. Who the local user belongs to doesn't mind. Since it's a local user it's not related with who actually uses it. So let's say you want to set up Photo streaming using your iCloud user, just configure iCloud (under System Preferences) the same way you did on your phone and you're done.
But, beware: if you're only interested in synching photos, uncheck everything else when configuring iCloud on the Mac, otherwise you will merge, for example, your husband contacts, calendar and mail with those on your phone.
If you want to avoid any problems you can easily create another local user on the Mac with your name, under System Preferences, System, Users & Groups. After you create the user, logoff. The Mac will ask if you want to disable autologin (since there's more than one user that can log in now), answer yes and you will be presented with a logon screen. Click on your account name, insert the password and configure iCloud to sync with your phone. -
How do I set up a separate icloud account? Both my wife and I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad (1 and 3), but only one Mac. We are tired of our "stuff" getting mixed up together when we sync. Thanks much
You don't need separate iCloud accounts if you want to simply sync unique content to each device using iTunes. I have three iDevices using one ID and one iTunes library and each device has it's own content on it. You need to set up the sync configuration for each device. This is what I recommend.
First turn off auto sync in iTunes. Launch iTunes on the Mac and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
Connect one of your devices to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the device name on the left side under the devices heading.
Click on a tab in iTunes - Apps for instance.
Click on the Apps that you want to sync to that device.
Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked.
Follow the same procedure for all of the other tabs in iTunes ..... Music, Photos, Movies and so on.
After you have finished making all of your selections, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
When you are done, eject the first device and do the same thing with the other device. iTunes will now remember the sync configuration on each device.
You can change that configuration any time that you like by following the steps outlined above.
If you want to continue to auto sync, turn it back on in the iTunes preferences as described above. -
How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone (with separate info on each of course) ? Can this be done? A little step by step would be greatly appreciated; just short step by step though, I can follow fairly well.
Kindest Regards,
Phil T.You would each need to use your own user account on the Mac, you can do this at system preferences > users & groups.

When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?
You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'. When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone' Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted. This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

My wife and I both have the new iPhones. Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac? So, we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance
If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes. Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it? I want to stop my husbands downloads appearing on my ipad, and vice versa.
A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

Just updated my iphone. Now I can se I have two! iCloud accounts? One of them appears on my phone, and I have forgotten the password. When I try to add the other account, I get the message that this account is already added, but with the name of the first account where there is no available password. I have tried several times to reset the password, bun I don't get the information I need - I have no access to email. What can I do?
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks -

Can I set up a secondary icloud account for my boss
I would like to set up a secondary icloud account for my boss & I to share a calendar and notes only. It would be set up on both our phones. (mine iPhone4s, his iPhone 5c) I am a bit apprehensive, as I want to make sure he doesn't have access to anything from my personal one, or I to his. Can anyone tell me how this is done?
Thank you.That's right. You will see both calendars when you open the Calendars app (unless you uncheck one of them so it isn't in view), and both sets of Notes in the notes app (if you tap Accounts, then tap All Notes so they are both in view).
The only thing you'll want to make sure you do is to go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) and choose the calendar you want new calendar events to go to by default. If you want them to go to your personal calendar, select your primary iCloud account calendar as your default. You can manually assign new calendar events to either calendar by tapping the Calendar field when you create the event.
Similarly, you'll want to go to Settings>Notes>Default Account and choose the account you want new notes to be created in by default. To create a note in the other account, open the Notes app, tap Accounts, then select the other account prior to creating the note.
Your boss will want to take these same steps in order to ensure that his personal calendar events and notes are created in the correct account too. -
I'd like to have separate iCloud accounts for myself and my wife, at the moment any photos, calendars etc transfer to our iPhones & iPads from each other. I'd rather not have this as its a nuisance when we receive items that one of us doesn't want!.

How can I manage 2 separate icloud accounts on 1 computer
Is it possible to have 2 icloud accounts on 1 computer? I'm trying to find directions on how to back up my husband's contacts onto his icloud using 1 computer without losing any of my own backed up information from my own icloud account.

If you mean iCloud backups, that has nothing to do with any computer. The backup is stored in iCloud, and it goes from the phone to iCloud backups without a computer being involved. So all you need is two Apple IDs.
But if you mean sync the contacts to iCloud so you can view them on the computer rather than just back them up it gets trickier, as the logged in user on the computer is only associated with 1 iCloud account.
If you want to be able to view the contacts on the computer the easiest way to do it is with 2 user accounts on the computer. The alternative is to associate the computer with 1 iCloud account, and access the other one with a web browser at https://icloud.com.
Finally, another, new, option to consider Family Sharing. Make one Apple ID the master and the 2nd one a Family Share. This allows all content and apps to be shared, and also shares a common calendar and allows all devices to be tracked with a single ID and Find my iPhone.
