If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, is there an amount of storage made per device available free? So that you are rewarded for the additional devices?
If this multi purchase if devices is not rewarded with a larger cloud storage being available, would it then be best to have several separate cloud accounts?
Would you lose the ability to mesh data between devices??? Of could you choose to share a smaller part of the data and yet save the rest of the device data to their own cloud? So in other words, split a devices stored data between 2 different icloud accounts? One community iCloud account for partial data and individual account for data that does not need to be shared with the other devices, however it needs to be backed up. The simpler solutions would be If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, an amount of storage made available per device (ie: 5 units of storage free per device)
~ So that you are rewarded for the additional Apple devices by giving 5 more units of storage or backup space per device

Nobody here is an Apple employee, and my Christmas Season has been great, thanks very much. Neither am I jealous, I just abhor the fact that so many people these days expect more and more for free, in addition to what they already get for free. First world problems...
Obviously Apple do consider people with multiple devices, since the whole purpose of the service is to keep data in sync across multiple devices. Clearly, after consideration, Apple decided to give 5GB of storage for free and provide customers with the option to buy more storage if they want/need more, in line with competing services.
Everyone has their own set of unique circumstances but does that mean everyone should be rewarded with extras for free? At what point should it be considered acceptable to actually pay for additional extras you want?
And by the way, somebody expressing a different opinion, and discussing people's expectations is not being rude. Aren't you from the country that supposedly takes 'freedom of speech' rather seriously?

You can't tell which device a purhcase was made on, but if your family members each have their own iTunes account to which your card is linked then you can check the purchase history on each of those accounts via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes - that should have 'purchase history' section with a 'see all' link to the right of it

HT5621 I have several apple devices, three are mine and the other ones belong to my little children. I use the same ID and password for all the devices. Is this a good idea? Do I need to change the apples ID?

I use the same apple ID for all my devices, 2 iphones, 2 itouch, 1 macbook pro, 2 ipads. Becuse I have small children, can I change that and still, have control, and don´t need to buy the same things serveral times.

It is something I would avoid if possible. I would want to educate my children to think possessively and therefore of security. Yes, I know you are all family but at the end of the day you wouldn't want your children to be blaming each other for any problems that arise. Well, that's how I see it, for what it is worth.

I have several apple devices - how do I keep my email from syncing to all of them instead of just mine. Some emails are not appropriate to show up on my kids apple products.

I have a iphone and a ipad 2 wifi that is mine. my kids have ipods and a ipad 2 wifi that is theirs. How can i stop my emails from syncing to all of these devices. I do want the emails on my device but not on the others. I also want to clear the email off of the other devices. Is their a way to do this without physically having the ipad in my possession. The ipad is with my daughter at college and i do not have access to that now. They are all syncing under my itunes account if that makes a difference. I did change the passwords on my email accounts but not sure what to do to fix this. Can anyone help?

You need to have a different Apple ID for each of the other devices.

Library content- I have several apple products... Music and pictures vary on all devices. How do I synchronize and retrieve older content. Thanks

Sync all devices to the same content in your iTunes library.
Older content? What kind? I could type in 2 pages of how to get other things from place to place but won't unless you have more specific questions.

Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id. do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)

There is no problem about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and another for iCloud and its email and syncing facilities. This way you can all use the same iTunes account but have separate emails and calendars etc.

I have several Apple Products, all which utilize iTunes- Is there a way you could use them all on one iTunes account?

I have several Apple Products, iPhone, MacBook Pro, eMac, iMac, iPod & nano. I would like to join together the iTunes with more than 5 products, is this possible?

If you are simply asking whether you can use all those devices with the same iTunes account, then the answer is yes.
If however, you are asking whether you can merge previously purchased content from separate iTunes accounts that your devices are currently running, into one iTunes account, then the answer is no.

Create a new ID:
On the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that under You can be reached at only the newID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
- Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out your ID and sign in with the new one.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

HT204053 I have multiple apple devices, 2x phones ipad etc, but all are through the same email and I only get the storage space for one device, what should I do?

I have multiple devices all under the same id and email but I don't get multiple icloud storage space and it's running out!
Can anyone help as I've just bought an iphone for my daughter and would like to link it as well.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.

One icloud account gets a 5 GB of storage, regardless of the number of devices connecting to it. But you're in luck, you can buy more storage for the account if you are running low.
As for your daughter, be sure to get her own icloud account, otherwise she'll end up getting all your email, contacts, etc. And if she deletes any of this data, it will be deleted on your devices as well. Note: you can all keep using the same ID for the itunes store for sharing purchased items.
To create a new icloud account, go to

You can set up different iCloud accounts on each device using different Apple IDs (to keep your mail, calendars, contacts, etc. separated), and still share the same iTunes account (in Settings>Store on your device). There is no requirement that you use the same Apple ID for purchases and for iCloud.

If I have multiple apple devices and use the same iCloud login on them, shouldn't apple give us more iCloud storage for each device

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
No. Apple only offers 5 GB of free iCloud storage for all your devices, no matter how many you have got. If you need more iCloud storage, purchase storage.

I want to establish a new and separate Apple ID from my husband's. We have six Apple devices between us that are aleady associated with our current joint ID.How is this done?

I want to establish a new and separate Apple ID from my husband's. We have six Apple devices between us that are aleady associated with our current joint ID.How is this done?

In order to have a separate 5GB of storage he would need to have his own iCloud account with a separate ID. You can still share the same ID for iTunes; it does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.
In order to migrate his phone to a separate account, begin by saving any photo stream photos that he wants to keep on his phone to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos he wants to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud on his phone, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. Other devices still using the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, choose Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to his new account.
Finally, if there is any merged data in the accounts you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account.
