In case you're not clear - iPad/iPhone storage, and iCloud storage, are totally separate. Buying more iCloud storage does not give you more storage space on your device. Your device has a fixed storage space for apps and data (e.g., 16GB - which is more like 12GB in real terms). iCloud storage just allows you to store more documents, mail, photos, etc, in the cloud.

  • HT5621 I recently changed my Apple ID but my cloud backup keeps asking for password to my old Apple ID.  If I go in and delete my cloud account and create a new one will I lose everything or does the cloud follow my new ID when I set it up?

    I recently changed my Apple ID but I keep getting messages from my Cloud account asking for my password to my old Apple ID.  If I go in and delete the current Cloud account that appears to still be associated with my old ID and set up new one with my current ID will I lose all the stuff in the Cloud?

    Did you just change the address or did you create a new Apple ID.

  • HT4436 Can there be more than on iCloud account on a computer?  I have an iCloud account with my iPhone and would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac.  I do not have a mac but an older PC

    Can there be more than one icloud account on a computer?  I have an icloud account with my iphone but would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac.  I do not have a mac but an older PC. thanks

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
    Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

  • HT204053 can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id

    Can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, your ID is essentially your account. You can have email aliases and you can have multiple accounts, but I don't think that's what you are asking.

  • TS4009 I seem to have 2 iCloud accounts with different names - a free storage that came with my Macbook and one I used when I bought some iCloud space. How can I cancel the free account?

    I seem to have 2 iCloud accounts with different names - a free storage that came with my MacBook and one I used when I bought some iCloud space. How can I cancel the free account? Because of this I can't access iMatch and the ICloud account I paid for on my MacBook
    Any ideas cos its frustrating that I can't access something I paid for!

    Sign out of the account you do not wish to use, sign into the one that you do wish to use.

  • I have an icloud account with two other users besides myself.  We share the same game center.  We want our own. My two children want their own Clash of Clans account!  What do I do?

    Log out of Gamecenter and try downloading CoC again. if it doesn't prompt you with a new village, try downloading with a different apple id. if that doesn't work, you would need a new device to create a new village and transferring it to your sons device using the code in the CoC settings.

  • I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

    I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • HT4859 I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • I use 1 Icloud account with 2 devise but the other devise arrest out mine, than my devise was not able to connect to itune anymore. My devise still can swich on but it always restart after afew seconds. So can it fix ?

    I use 1 Icloud account with 2 devise but the other devise arrest out my devise throue find my iphone, than my devise was not able to connect to itune anymore. My devise still can swich on but it always restart after afew seconds. So can it fix ?

    Looking at the error message "The Network Adapter could not establish the connection" , It appears hostname and port may be incorrect. Review the targets.xml under E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\SAP_solman_SDB\emd and
    emoms.properties under E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\SAP_solman_SDB\config folder to make sure host ( sap_solman) and port (1527) are correct.
    As far as setting the environment variables goes, you can go to control panel -> system -> advanced -> environment variables and set the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID

  • I need to change my rescue email,but i forgot the password to that email,what will i do?and i have 25 ueros on this apple account so i dont want to make a new one!

    i need to change my rescue email,but i forgot the password to that email,what will i do?and i have 25 ueros on this apple account so i dont want to make a new one!

    Have you forgotten your password? - if so, you have a problem if the email address has gone dead.
    If you know your password, go to the iTunes Store, click on Account. log in and you can change the associated email address.
    If you don't know your password, and have no email address, you are going to have problems because it's difficult to see how Apple are going to identify you as the authorised owner of the account. Contact iTunes Support: go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

  • Mail on my iPad 2 is no longer working after latest update. If I delete the account and reinstate it will I lose everything that was there before?

    Mail on my iPad 2 has stopped working since the latest update. The symbol is on the screen in its' usual place but it either opens briefly, just showing the blank framework for Mail before suddenly quitting, or all the App symbols disappear completelly from the screen. I'm not confident that i know what to do! If I delete the account and reinstate it will I lose everything that was there before? Looking at an earlier question along the same lines it doesn't appear that that would make a difference. If I reset the whole thing will I lose all my documents, photos etc.?
    i'd be extremely grateful for some clear guidance!

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
    1.Double-click the Home button.
    2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    3. Preview will fly off the screen.

  • I accidentally created an iCloud account using the wrong email address for my username - I already have an iCloud account with a different email address username. Is there any way I can merge these accounts?

    I just upgraded my MacBook from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion so that I could stream from my other devices (iPhone and iPad) to my MacBook.  After making it through the upgrade process, I realized that I used the wrong email address for my iCloud username when starting up on the MacBook.  My iPhone, iPad, and iTunes are under my Hotmail email address and I accidently used my Gmail email address for the MacBook.  Is there any way I can merge these two icloud accounts together? I tried changing my account information to add the other email address, but wasn't allowed because another account was using the name (duh).  If I can't merge them, how could I change the MacBook from the Gmail address to the Hotmail address so that all my devices are on the same icloud account?  It'd be nice if I could keep the free 5GB of storage that comes with my purchase of the software, but I'd rather lose the storage than not be able to stream.

    To change accounts on your Mac, go to System Preferences, sign out of the current account, then sign into the new account.  When you sign out of the current account it will delete synced data from your Mac.  Assuming your data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) is in the other iCloud account, it will be synced to your Mac when you sign into this account.

  • I have iPhoto 11 9.2.4. - I want to make a new album or card but I can't choose the ''themes'' that I normaly have, is someone can help me !?

    I want to make a new album(book) or card but I can't choose the ''themes'' that I normaly have in the past, is someone can help me !?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

  • Can I share an icloud account with my wife but not share contacts?

    My wife and I want to share the same icloud account. We both have iphones, and our contacts are getting messed up. Is there a way of storing our contacts separately? Or do I need to create a new icloud account for my wife? If so, how do I do that, as both our e-mail addresses are already linked to the existing appleID.

    I personally would recommend to use two different Apple IDs/iCloud accounts for iCloud. And of course, you would still be able to share calendars, reminders and you could still set up "your" account as a secondary account on her device, so that she could also still access your email address.
    To set up a new primary account, please go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (This would only delete the account from the device). Then create a new account here. After you set up her new account, you could add your account as a secondary iCloud account in "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > iCloud" and then activate just only Mail (and of course keep contacts turned off).
