HT4528 How do I set up separate icloud accounts on two phones with one apple id?

My husband and I have two iPhone 5s and one Apple ID.  I set up my iCloud account and we want to set up a separate one for him so we don't share each other's contacts, etc. 

Read the section on setting up separate icloud account http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895

  • 2 iphone 5's, 1 itunes account to share music; how do you set up 2 icloud accounts using one MacBookPro?

    My wife and I each purchased the iphone 5 and we share an itunes account. How do I sync our iphones to our MacBookPro so we each have our own iCloud account (contacts, calendars, etc.)? We want to be able to share the itunes music on our computer.

    If you are sycing your contacts and calendars with iCloud, don't sync them with your computer using iTunes.  If you sync with both iCloud and iTunes this will cause duplicates.  If you want to keep your contacts, calendar, etc. separated rather than merged, be sure to set up separate iCloud accounts on both phones using different Apple IDs.  You can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing music, apps, etc.; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud, iMessage or other services.
    In terms of syncing your music and other non-iCloud data with the same computer, this article will explain different options depending on how you want to set it up: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495.

  • TS4006 can you set up an icloud account on a phone remotely

    My daughter has lost her phone and I just found out that she never set up an icloud account.  So I cannot use the "find my iphone" app.  Is there anyway to set-up the icloud account for her phone with out having her phone?

    Unfortunately, no.  It can only be enabled on the device itself, not remotely.

  • HT204053 The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now?

    The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now? Or should we? 5 macbooks, 2 ipads, 4 iphones, 2 itouch, 2 imacs.   How does one decide what to sync, share and what not to? Green Jeans.

    You need to start by understanding the distinction between iTunes and iCloud - Apple confuse the issue by referring to 'iTunes Match' as part of iCloud. It isn't.
    You don't have to have the same login (Apple ID) for iTunes and iCloud; many people don't and there's no problem about it.
    Your iCloud ID gets you email, calendars, contacts, iWork documents and PhotoStream syncing between devices.
    Your iTunes ID gets you the iTunes Store, the App Store for iOS, the Mac App Store for OSX,, 'iTunes in the Cloud' (downloading of purchased items to any logged-in device) and 'iTunes Match' (uploading of songs not purchased in the iTunes Store).
    Your family members can easily each get their own iCloud account to keep email etc. separate - in each case they will need a different non-Apple email address (a free one from Yahoo etc. would do) to set up the ID. If they are sharing a Mac they need to be using a separate user account.
    They can have their own iCloud accounts and still all sign into the same iTunes account: or they can open their own iTunes accounts using their new iCloud Apple IDs.
    BUT they cannot transfer items purchased under the present iTunes ID to different iTunes IDs.

    Create an iCloud account for each of them.

  • How do i set up multiple iCloud accounts on the same mac?

    how do i set up multiple iCloud accounts on the same mac?

    Interesting - I was sure I'd seen a note somewhere that it was only Mail, but this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020
    does say
    Your secondary iCloud accounts can be set up and viewed in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on your iOS device, or Apple () menu > System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on OS X Lion. You may choose to do this if you have a second iCloud account and need to access its Mail, Contacts, or Calendar data. 
    Note: While you can configure multiple iCloud Mail accounts in iOS, Push mail will only work for the primary iCloud account in iOS. Secondary account(s) will check for mail based on the settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data.
    It's not something I can test - I suppose the second account's data gets added to the lists in iCal and Address Book?

  • HT4436 how do I set up an icloud account on my macbook pro with 10.6.8 - all it has is mobile me under internet and wireless????

    help, how do I set up an icloud account on my macbook pro with 10.6.8 — all it has is "mobile me" under internet and wireless on my system doc????

    You should check that your Mac meets the requirements for upgrading.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

    How do I get a new icloud account for my phone when it was setup with my wifes account?

    Go to Settings>iCloud and sign out. Any synced data, such as calendars and contacts, will be removed.
    To get a new ID: go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new ID - you will need a different non-Apple email address from any ID you already have.
    Then go back to Settings>iCloud and sign in there, enabling any data types you want to sync in the list there. You will be asked to create a new @icloud.com address when enabling Mail.
