HT4897 I have more than one iCloud account.... Once an email alias is deleted from one account.... can it then be used by another account?  If so, how long after it's deletion before it's made available?

Aliases remain tied forever to the account which created them. They cannot be moved to another account, converted to a full account, nor reinstated after being deleted.

  • How can I have more than one page open at a time?

    I would like to have more than one page open at a time- not tabs, but whole pages. How can I do this? I want to be able to have the pages side by side, instead of having to switch back and forth.

  • Can I have more than one iCloud account?

    Can I have more than one iCloud account?

    One option is to start backing up one of them to your computer using iTunes instead.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and turn off iCloud Backup.  After that the device will start automatically backing up to your computer when you sync it with iTunes.
    Another option is to migrate your iPad, along with a copy of the iCloud data to a different account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep on it to the camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep on your iPad, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes the account from your iPad, not from iCloud; your phone won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iPad and choose Keep on My iPad when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the account.  The disadvantage of this is that once your phone and iPad are on different accounts, they will no longer sync data with each other using iCloud.

  • Can i have more than one icloud account on my apple id

    Can I have more than one icloiud account on one apple id

    No: but it costs nothing to create another Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with that. The only caveat is that you must associate a different email address with the new Apple ID from that with the old ID (since the address will itself become the ID) - you could open a free email address with Yahoo or Gmail.

  • I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them.

    I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them. Please help! On top of that my Mac keeps telling me my start up disc is full and I am deleting stuff like crazy!

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    It won't be a problem if you delete your extra copies.
    I don't download very much to my tv, I do sometimes if I'm in bed but usually I do it from itunes. However if you have not fully downloaded something to the tv it is possible to start the download from itunes as well, you have likely activated 'check for downloads fin itunes in some way, could be by opening itunes, selecting 'check or downloads' from the advanced menu or that you simply have automatically check for downloads set in your prefs and it has checked coincidentally.

  • Contacts & iCloud: can you have more than one iCloud account syncing with Contacts on the Mac?

    I want to set up a shared iCloud account for multiple users in a (very) small office environment, where several new iOS devices and, for the moment, two Macs (2012 13" MacBook Pro and 2013 Mac Mini) will be able to read/write to a shared Contacts account – and at the same time maintain a second, personal iCloud account linked to the same Contacts app on one machine, which account's contacts data will remain private and inaccessible to the other Macs/devices which are likewise using the shared account.
    Can this be done? (I.e., can Contacts app on a Mac include separate iCloud accounts?)
    If so, how to set it up?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your answer. There's no problem with others accessing that Mac – it's used by one person only – my question is can you add a second iCloud account to Contacts. Over the past two days I had tried to add the shared iCloud account to Contacts and kept getting failures. But maybe the server was down or the ISP was weird: your response assumes it can be done and so, to my embarrassment, I tried again just now and violá, it's done. Thanks again.
    P.S. Finding a simple presentation that makes clear you can have more than one iCloud accounts syncing to Contacts at the same time was very hard to find, either from Apple or others on the web. Maybe I don't know how to search, but they could do with a clear explanation of this for the uninitiated.

  • HT204053 for some reason i have more than one apple id, not sure how, must have set one up ages ago and forgot about it. can i delete one, or merge them? how do i know im not going to lose info if i delete one account?

    for some reason i have more than one apple id, not sure how, must have set one up ages ago and forgot about it. can i delete one, or merge them? how do i know im not going to lose info if i delete one account?

    You can neither merge or delete them. Pick one and stop using the other. If they both have purchases associated with them you will have to keep using both.

  • HT4859 Can I have more than one icloud account on the same pc I share with my spouse?

    Yes, providing that you use seperate user accounts on the computer.

  • HT4759 Can you have more than one computer linked to the same icloud account?

    Can you have more than one computer linked to the same icloud account?  If so how do you add a computer?

    Yes, of course - that's the whole point, to provide syncing of data such as calendars, contacts and email between computers and iOS devices. Having got iCloud up and running on one computer, simply sign all other devices in at System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud with the same login. (Lion 10.7.2 and iOS5 are the minimum requirements.)

  • Can I have more than one iCloud account on my iPad?

    Can I have more than one iCloud account on my iPad?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only have one primary account, you can add secondary accounts via settings > mail, contacts and calendars.
    Secondary accounts don't have all the features of primary accounts, such as Photostream.

  • HT4436 Can i have more than one address on iCloud?

    Can i have more than one address on iCloud?
    I already have a personal one, but would like to create one for
    my business  (ie [email protected] ) 
    So that my partner and I can share data between each other
    throughout the day....
    We both already have iphones and ipads
    Do we need to buy new devices and set them up that way?

    You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    The main issue is that mail to the alias turns up in the same inbbox as that to the primary address. Though you could instead create a new iCloud account and sign into it in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, Contacts and Calendars, probably the easiest way to deal with this is to set up a Rule to move all messages to the alias to a new folder which you would create. (You do this on the iCloud website; click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Rules'.)
