I want my iCloud to be private , I have a large family w different devices and different apple Ids , can they be accessed or linked in any way?
Others can log into your account, only if they know your ID and password.

I have a band's album but they are relasing a deluxe album on presale but only for UK.
I have a pen pal who could send me a UK iTunes card since those are region locked but if I make another Apple ID in the "UK," could I still download it (after switching iTunes store region) on my iPod with my USA songs?
Sorry if my explination was a little confusing, if you have any questions you can ask me in the comments.This would be a violation of the terms of use of the itunes store and could result in the loss of your account.
You cannot use the U.K. itunes store unless you are in the U.K -
When I set up my iPod I had a Yahoo email account, and I set up my iTunes acct. with it. It got hacked, viral, and I closed it. When I got my iPad2, I had a gmail account, and set it up w/ that email account. As a result, I was given a different apple id - stupid of me. This also resulted in me getting a different iCloud. When I got my iPhone, I used my iPod account (linked to a newly set up Yahoo account), because I wanted all of my iTunes song on my phone. So now I have two apple ID's and two iClouds, and my phone and my iPad are on separate iClouds. I hate it, and I don't know if I can somehow merge the two. I want to buy additional iCloud storage, but only if I can do so on ONE account that is for both devices. Does anyone know if/how I can accomplish this? Thanks so much.

Using different Apple IDs, but the same for Find My Phone
In my family, we have 4 iPhones and an iPad. I want to allow each member of the family to have a separate Apple ID for iCloud. But I want to be able to find all the phones from the iPad. I understand that, to do that, you need to use the same Apple ID for "Find my Phone". But after researching it, it appears that Find my Phone requires you log in to iCloud. I know you can use a common Apple ID for Apple Store, but how do I do this for Find my Phone? I want each family member to have their own iCloud account.
Thanks in advance.I have read a little about that, but I need it to actually send a signal to the phone like how "Find my Phone" does it.
I have 2 kids, they are constantly misplacing their phones in the house. It comes in handy to send it a signal to make a noise, especially since they always leave the phone on vibrate, so calling it doesn't work. Right now everyone uses my Apple ID, so it works great. But I would like it if each of them would get their own Apple ID.
So let me ask this: When they set up their new phone, can the use a different (their own) Apple id to set up the phone. Not setup iCloud to start. Then go back later and setup iCloud but specify "my" Apple ID (like they must be doing today). And then enable "Find my Phone".
What does it buy them to use their own Apple ID when setting up a new device? Does it matter? The reason we use the same ID now is so everyone can get the same apps when I buy them. If iCloud and Find my Phone could use separate ID, this wouldn't be an issue.
Thanks for the suggestion!
UPDATE: Let me just add, we never backup to iCloud, we always use iTunes on our Macs. -
We have a mac book pro and 2 i phones 4S. We both have different Apple Id's. But we would like to connect both phones to the mac book in order to update photos and itunes match. I subscribed with my apple id to itunes match and it automatically updates apps, music, books etc. However the apple id of my husbands phone is not recognized so his music, apps etc are not automatically updated. The same happens with icloud.
How can we make the mac book recognize both phones?I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.
Can someone indicate the way to proceed?
Thanks.Hi,
You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

Should I have different Apple IDs for different family members or one?
We are four members in a family, sharing the same iMac computer but each having a separate device (such as an iPod, iPad and iPhone). I'm wondering if it would be best to have separate Apple IDs for each family member to manage things like iMessage, iTunes purchases and so on. I'd appreciate any advice you can provide. Cheers!
The ideal would be to have different Apple IDs for each member. This will allow them to set up their accounts as they like and be able to use iCloud without worrying about the possibility that other members can see their personal data. However, if you want to purchase an app for all the members, you will have to purchase it for each account

Wife & I have different Apple IDs & can't link as Family?
Why can't my wife and I have different Apple IDs, join as "family" and use the same iCloud storage? When Apple showed the iOS 8, the idea of building a family would allow all users, (ours have iPhone each, an iPad each, and one iMac that supports iCloud) to use the same iCloud storage. That is what "family" ment to me. Is there any way to fix this unfriendly family setting to work better, or must I buy more storage?
Family sharing doesn't include sharing the same storage plan, at least not at the present time. Storage cannot be shared between two iCloud accounts/IDs.

My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!
The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

Can separate apple ids be set up for individual family members that use different devices (iPads & iPhones)? Several family members are tied to one apple id (email address). Thanks.

Loading Apps and PDFs to multiple iPads with different Apple IDs
Hello,
We are deploying 200+ iPads to our business and we are configuring each of the devices individually on-sight. We have received each employee's Apple ID and password for these corporate devices.
We want to load 7 free apps to each iPad and a variety of PDFs to iBooks before we deploy the devices. We have experimented with Apple Configurator for the Apps and iTunes for the PDFs and run into a few problems.
Apps:
When we loaded these 7 free apps using Apple Configurator from a Macbook Pro to an iPad with a different Apple ID, we had no problem. The iPad user was able to download other apps using their own Apple ID without any issues. The problem came when we tried to update these originally loaded apps. When the user is prompted to update, the Macbook Pro user's Apple ID showed up with the update and there was no way to get around that even though the device was logged into the iPad owner's Apple ID in the settings.
Is there a way to push multiple apps from one device to another without have two different Apple IDs sitting on the one device?
PDFs:
A similar problem happened with iTunes and iBooks. When we pushed PDFs from the Macbook owner's iTunes to the iPad, there was no problem. When the iPad user tried to upload some of her own PDFs from her Apple ID in iTunes, the originally loaded PDFs were wiped.
Is there a way for both sets of PDFs to stay on the device in iBooks without either getting wiped?I don't really have any solutions other than uploading the files to cloud storage such as drop box, google, or skydrive and then sharing them to all the users.

Since I updated to iOS5, I now have two (2) different Apple IDs. The first is my original Apple ID (iMac); the second is my primary email address (iPad & iPod). How can I standardize on just one ID?
No.
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

We have three iPhones but one Apple ID because I pay for the acct whenever we buy Apps or music. However, it's frustrating that when we share iCloud it merges our notes and contacts even if we say "DO NOT MERGE." I've also lost my notes but could not recover them even if I did a restore.
You can share the same iTunes ID on all your devices and still have different iCloud accounts with different IDs on them. The ID you use for iTunes does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.
If you want to migrate your devices to separate accounts, on the devices that will be moving save any photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. Also email any synced notes to yourself so you can recreate them in the new account. Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud, go to the iWork app settings and turn off iCloud syncing.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select 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 the new account.
Once the phones are all on separate accounts you can 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. -

I have 2 iphones 4s's, ones my wife and one is mine. we have different apple IDs, can we share one itunes account?? if so, how??
If you haven't set up your own Apple ID already don't. I suggest you use the same apple ID as your wife's. The alternative is to do this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848. It's not efficient as you have to swap apple id's to update apps under both IDs. 20/20 being hindsight, I would have never created a 2nd apple ID for my wife.
Hope this helps.
