HT4436 I need a second iCloud account within my Appleid. How do I set this up for my iPhone and iPad?

I would like to have 2 iCloud accounts on my Appleid account. While I would like to share apps and music with my husband, we need to maintain separate contacts and calendars. How do I set up the second iCloud account?

Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud.  You will have to use a second ID to create a new account.  There are some limitations on secondary accounts like this to be aware of.  Only the primary account (in Settings>iCoud) can be used for Photo Stream, iCloud backups, Find My iPhone, and syncing Bookmarks (Safari) and Documents.  Also, push email only works for the primary account; secondary account email is fetch.

  • My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

    My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.  My password doesn't work with the old email address.  When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist.  Help!!!

    You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

  • I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. Help?

    I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air  I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. It keeps going back to my old apple id and doesn't afford me to alter it. I use system preferences-icloud and it just wants to verify the old apple id but doesn't afford me the opportunity to delete teh account or edit it like the iphone5 and ipad. Help?

    You need to use the sign out option on the left side.

  • How do I set up a new iCloud account separate for my iphone and ipad?

    I have an old iCloud account for my iphone and when I bought an ipad last year I used the same iCloud account. I now have no storage left and my iphone won't back up. I want to upgrade my iphone soon but don't want to lose all my photos, contacts, etc.
    I have spent the last hour trying to create a new iCloud account so I have two separate ones for my iphone and iCloud, to no avail. Apple don't seem to have any information I submit and I am just going round in circles updating passwords! And re-enters new account details. I haven't received an email registering my new iCloud account.
    Can anyone help! Can I create two iCloud accounts? Why can't i! Even though I am using two separate email addresses.

    If it's stuck on verifying it's because she never responded to the verification email that Apple should have sent to the primary email address she used for the Apple ID she set it up with.  She should check her inbox and spam/junk folder for this email and click on the Verify Now link to verify the account.  If the email isn't there, she can go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under her Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
    Or, you can just delete the account (which is a misnomer since until verified the account isn't really created).

  • I had an old macbook so icloud was set up only with my iphone and ipad. Now I have a new macbook pro but can't synchronise icloud with it. It ask me to create a new account.

    Hi,
    I had an old macbook, too old to put it on icloud. So when I created my icloud account, I did it with my iphone and my ipad. Now I bought a new macbook pro.I wanted to synchronise it to my icloud account but it tell me that this account is with someone and that I have to create a new one. Seems like it does not recognised my account.
    What should I do?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • HT5330 My icloud account on my macbook has stuck with the wrong info for incoming mail and I cannot change the info. Somehow the "box" is locked. Any suggestions ?

    having problems receiving mail via iCloud.
    I cannot revise the setting in Mail for mail from the incoming server
    the "box" is jammed and wont let me alter the details.
    reluctant to delete the icloud mail box and start again if it's going to delete everything I have already
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    The box has never been locked before and now displays a different name to that suggested by Apple for iCloud.
    There is obviosly something going on at iCloud as there seem to be large numbers of iCloud users having the same problem....
    Works OK with the iphone but not the Macbook !!

  • TS4002 I changed my password on my email account because my email was hacked. I changed it in my iPhone and iPad also. I have access to my email account, I receive emails and can open them and read them. But I can't reply to any. It goes to my outbox.

    Why can't I send an email from my iPhone or iPad since I changed my password because my email account was hacked?

    Hi Teresazubi,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're not able to send from an iCloud email address on your iPhone, be sure to follow these troubleshooting steps from the article above (iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail):
    Make sure that Mail is turned on in Settings > iCloud.
    Make sure that Push is turned on for your device in Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Fetch New Data. Then send an email to your account to verify that Push is working correctly.
    Make sure that Push is turned on for your iCloud account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Fetch New Data. If you're using iOS 6, tap Advanced. Then Tap your iCloud account and make sure that Push is turned on. If you have multiple iCloud Mail accounts set up on your device, Push can be used only withone account at a time. Make sure that Push is turned on for your primary iCloud Mail account.
    Turn your device off and back on.
    If the issue persists, turn off each of the settings in steps 4, 5, and 6 above, then turn them back on. If that does not help, follow these instructions to delete the iCloud account from your device, then add the account back:
    Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.
    Tap your iCloud account.
    Tap Delete Account. If you store Contacts, Calendar, or Bookmarks data in iCloud, you will be given the option to keep that data.
    On the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars screen, tap Add Account, then tap iCloud to begin setting up your iCloud account again. If data from your device is stored in iCloud, you will be given the option to merge that data with the data on your device.
    If you have an email account from a different provider, see the troubleshooting at this link:

  • I have iCloud set up on my iMac,iPhone and iPad. How do I use the storage in iCloud? Can I upload Word and pdf files?docs?

    My iPad and iPhone have iCloud icons. How do I access iCloud from my iMac?
    How do I take advantage of the free storage? Can I upload photos,Word and PDF docs?

    Open contacts on your phone and check your groups.  Do your contacts belong to any non-iCloud groups such as On My iPhone, a Gmail, Yahoo or Exchange account, or anything else?  Also check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section).  What is selected as your default account?
