HT4436 can I have a second icloud account for my spouse and use the same apple account

I was trying to find out if it is possible to set up a second icloud email account for my wife and both use the same apple ID so we can share bought apps without her receiving all of my calander notices, email alerts etc?

Yes, you can delete your account from settings > iCloud.  Your data will be stored in your personal account (simply choose to delete all information from your iPad when prompted). Then make a new one (again, settings > iCloud) making an account for your class.  When you are done in the classroom, delete the iCloud account again and login with your personal account  When prompted, always delete the information.
Kind regards,

  • How do you make separate ICloud accounts for people who all use the same Apple ID?

    Me, my brother and mam all use the same Apple ID (i.e. this one. I'm not Debra) so is it possible to create three different ICloud accounts? I only want my music, pictures etc to go to my IPad, IPhone and my account on the Mac. If it's not possible, is there a way to see all the activity from this Apple ID in one place and split it into three different ID's easily? Thank's for any replies

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't have 3 accounts with one ID.
    If the reason you want to keep a single ID is so you can share music and apps etc, then you should be aware that the iTunes account and iCloud accounts are different accounts, you can all share an iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts (each iCloud account would have its own ID).

  • I have iPad, my wife's iPone 4 and my new iPhone 4s all on iOS 5 and using the same Apple account. That is convenient in many ways except I can't use iMessage from my iPad and iPhone to my wife's iPhome. Any solution?

    When iMessage is enabled on all 3 devices, they just seem to mirror all iMessage conversations on all of them. Can I configure iMessage for my wife's iPhone such that it becomes a separate entity with that respect while staying on the same Appte account with other our devices?

    Actually, there is a solution, and it sounds to go against what you want until you realize how well it works.
    Seperate Apple IDs is the solution, but you can granularly sign into different things with different IDs.  Now, I'm in the exact same situation as you and saw the exact same problem.  Here was our solution:
    1) Create new Apple IDs for everyone that didn't already have one.  This meant my wife and daughter needed new IDs.
    2) Go into Settings -> Message and select "Receive At..."
    3) Change the Apple ID in iMessage on a per-device basis to the new ID for who ever owns that device.  For example, the new ID for my wife went on her phone, same with my daughter.
    Apple IDs are free, and you don't have to change the ID on every part of your phone.  For example, we still have the generic family ID on iCloud and the store, but we have our own unique ones signed in on iMessage and Game Center.  From what I can tell, this is the best of both worlds.

  • If I have a MacBook Air, can I download digital copies of movies onto another computer that uses the same iTunes account and still get the movies on my MacBook?

    In most countries with a lot of movies yes you can, just like how iCloud works with apps/music

  • HT201269 Can I set up two accounts for two different iPhones on the same iTunes account. Jimmy

    Hello,
    CanI set up two accounts for two different iPhones on the same iTunes account. Thanks JIMMY

    You can use the same apple id for two separate phoones to share apps/music, however you would need a separate apple id for both phone for imessage/facetime/icloud.

  • I have a iphone4 and a ipad2 and i use 2 laptops to sync them individually, but i used the same apple account. Now I have lost one laptop.

    Hey everyone.
    I have an iphone4 and an ipad2. I used to sync my phone with one computer and the ipad with another. but i used the same apple account.
    Now the problem is that i lost the computer to which i was syncing the iphone. Is there a way that i can start to sync the iphone with the computer that i use for my ipad and not loose any data.
    Please help!

    No.  Syncing with a different computer/library will wipe the content from the device and replace it with content from the new library.
    All of the media should be in the iTunes library already, at least what was purchased from iTunes.

  • HT201272 I have always had and used the same Apple ID, so where are the rest of the songs I bought from itunes? I've bought at least 400 songs and I only am being able to download 178. Where are the rest of my purchases?!

    I have always had and used the same Apple ID. I have changed credit card information on my Apple ID account several times though. Does that make a difference when downloading past purchases? I'm very angry at Apple and Itunes because I have been using itunes since 05/2005 and I do not have even close to the amount of songs and albums that I have purchased from itunes. If the credit card info does make a difference even though the account is the same one then itunes needs to make sure to notify users of this because I am not the only one who is wondering this same thing. I have numerous friends who i've talked to about this and they say the same thing, that they too have songs purchased in the past that have disappeared when trying to download past purchased items. It should not make a difference. $12 is $12. Especially since I have ALWAYS used the same account. If itunes does not change their ways, I will not be purchasing songs or anything else for that matter from them ever again. I will go back to buying CDs where I KNOW that it will always be with me and I don't have to deal with this. I will also make sure to find a better more reliable source to download music from and will make sure everyone I know and come in contact with knows what it is and how much better it is than itunes. There should be no experation date on the music I PURCHASE, nor should there be any other little loop holes that allow itunes to rob us of rightfully purchased products. What's the deal itunes??

    So I basically won't run into any trouble? I
    There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that.  You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

    Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
    Unlikely. But nothing is impossible.   Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

    If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
    If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
    Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
    SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
    Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

    Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
    If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

  • How do you take off reseiving messages on multiple devices using the same apple account

    How do you take off reseiving messages on multiple devices using the same apple account?

    Go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive on all but one device and add a unique email address on each device and delete the commone Apple ID email device
    If there is also an iPhone with iOS 6 associated with the Apple ID, uncheck the phone number on all but the phone.

    Or remove you from his, it's moot because You and He are the same account, either get him his own (they are free) or live with this cozy but privacy compromised method.

  • HT202213 We have 3 ipods in our family, should we all use the same apple id?

    We have 3 ipods in our family (myself and my two teenage daughters), should we all use the same apple id?  We want to be able to share our music, etc. but choose what we want.  Please help.
    I tried to read about home sharing, but it sounds like everyone has to have the same id. 
    One of my daughter's ipod keeps dumping all music and apps everytime I attach it to the computer to try to sync.  I think it may be because I set hers up with my id.  I am sure this is supposed to be simple, but I feel like I don't want to do something wrong.  I appreciate your help.

    Create NEW account/ID for them 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. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on their devices but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • Should my wife and I use the same Apple account or separate accounts?

    Should my wife and I use the same account or our own accounts?
    We each have our own iPhones and we share one iPad.
    We have one computer where we use iTunes (our main desktop at home).
    On iTunes on our computer, sometimes we are logged into my wife's iTunes account and sometimes we are logged into mine.
    My iPhone was set up with my account and my wife’s was set up with her account.
    My wife's iPad is set up with her account (but it seems like it is pretty easy to log out and then log in with my account if I want, I think).
    Since we log into our respective accounts on iTunes and have our own accounts for our iOS devices, we purchase music, games, etc. on both accounts.
    If we continue with our current method of different accounts, I am worried that our music, games etc. will be separated so that we won't be able to access them all from each of our devices.  For example, I'm thinking of setting up that Home Sharing thing where you can use your iOS device to stream off your computer's iTunes but I think it only streams off the iTunes account you are currently signed into.
    Is this a good idea or should we just pick one of our accounts and use it exclusively?
    If we just use one account, should our phones both be signed in / started up with that one account?
    Thanks for any info.

  • How can I let firefox save usernames/passwords for multiple subdomains that use the same username but different passwords?

    on a particular website that has sub domains I have multiple accounts with the same name but different password. Firefox seems only able to save one of them, because they are on the same site.
