I don't want passwords to sync on iCloud keychain for all devices

Hi, hopefully someone can help
I bought an iPad for my Mum a few years ago. She's an elderly lady and doesn't know a lot about computers so the iPad was great! I set up her account (Apple ID etc) under my email so that I could log in and change updates etc when needed (and I'd remember my details!).
I've just purchased my first Apple product, the MacBook Pro (which I love btw). Because I'm new to Apple I'm still learning about iCloud/iCloud keychain. I registered my Mac Pro with my original Apple iD (the same one as my Mum's iPad). Now I realise it would have been better to register it with a new account as I don't want passwords/photos/apps etc. syncing from both devices.
I'm not sure how to get around this now? Definitely a rookie mistake, but like I said, I'm still learning!
Thanks

Registering your Mac with a shared ID won't cause it to sync any data from an iCloud account.  Only signing into the same iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud would do that.  You can leave your registration as it is now.  Just sign into iCloud with a different Apple ID in System Preferences>iCloud and your keychain and other iCloud data will be separate from your mum's.

  • HT5622 We family wants to use only one apple ID for all devices ie iMac ( 4 persons sharing desktop), IPads (2nos) how we should be going about sharing same

    And how to create separate log in IDs for each person on IMac PCM.
    I am first time user of IMac,

    iCloud is not designed for multi-user use. If everyone has the same login, then they will all see the same emails, contacts, calendars and so on. If you want them to be separate then everyone needs their own Apple ID and iCloud account. Each separate iCloud account needs to be on a different device or a different user account on your Mac.
    You should be aware that any one device can create a maximum of three iCloud accounts, so with more than three you will have to set up remaining accounts on another device - you can do this from iPads so you shouldn't have a problem.

  • How do I 'undo' Sync - get rid of my personal email account. I don't want to use Sync anymore!

  • I don't want Facebook friends synced to Contacts.

    In order to use Facebook from Preview and other apps, I need to login to Facebook. But then it says when I do that all Facebook friends will be imported into my Contacts, which I do not want. But I DO want to be able to sync Contacts through iCloud to my other devices. So how do I enable Facebook, not let it download friends to my Contacts, but keep other Facebook iCloud syncs?

    OK, if I go where you said and enter my Facebook info, I get this message: "Signing into Facebook will: Download your Facebook friends to the Contadcts app...Allow you to post status update etc to Facebook...Enable apps to work with your Facebook account. In System Prefs you can disable Contacts syncing and disallow any app from accessing your Facebook account."
    So it sounds like I only have two choices: To have all my Facebook friends in my Contacts (which I don't want; what a mess to scroll past them all on my phone) or to disable Contacts syncing, which will not allow all my contacts to stay synced between devices, right?

  • Hi! I download the new update for my iPod on my pc but now it's stuck on the recovery mode! No jailbreak. I don't want to restore it because I'll loose all of my photos... HELP

    I download the new update for my iPod on my pc but now it's stuck on the recovery mode! No jailbreak. I don't want to restore it because I'll loose all of my photos... HELP

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 2 photo streams on my iphone 4s in albums - I just want one to sync with iCloud

    I have 2 photo streams on my iphone 4s - I just want one to sync with iCloud.
    When I go into my Albums 2 show up as Photo Stream under my Camera Roll and even using edit I can't delete the blank one.
    I just want one that syncs photos I take to the iCloud and to delete the other.
    Help please - its a 4GS version 5.01.

    Photo stream only maintains photos in photo stream for 30 days, although they will remain on your devices until deleted.  Chances are only 56 of your photos were added within the last 30 days.  At this point, the best course of action is either to copy the remaining photos in a new album in iPhoto, then sync them to your phone by selecting the album on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  An alternative is to copy them to a folder, then use an app like PhotoSync to wirelessly transfer photos in the folder to your phone.

  • I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account?

    I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?

    On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out."  Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.)  Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
    Hope this helps.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

  • HT4436 I want to set up an icloud account for work, separate from our personal accounts.  We all have iPad 2.  How do I do that?

    I want to set up an icloud account for work, separate from our personal accounts.  We all have iPad 2.  How do I do that?

    You can set up a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your device by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud.  Secondary accounts do have limitations. Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My Device.  Push mail only works for the primary account; secondary account mail is fetch.

  • HT201251 I want to use 30  ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices

    I want to use 30  ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices?

    Alternatively you can always manage your iPads (does not matter how many) with a single apple id and all reporting to your account under "find my device" service. Keeping an eye on all your units. Additionally as you mentioned these are for your Restaurant you may find the solutions offered by this company who creates apps and hardware for this purpose: http://www.spartakioskpro.com
    Additionally if you expand beyond those 30 iPads to say 300 you will want to enable or plan on MDM as your best option to automate every ipad to use the same profile and app and ios configuration while also keeping a close eye on all of them via online MDM services like: https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager
