I have four iphones on my icloud account, can i create an icloud account for each phone?

Welcome to the Apple Community Joe.
There is nothing stopping you doing so, but you won't be able to sync anything between them.

I have 2 iPhones and one iPad. Can i create individual icloud accounts with one itunes account?

I have 2 iPhones and 1 iPad. Can I create individual icloud accounts with one iTunes account?

I have 3 emails and 3 devices. I just want to be able to share the purchased music/apps but keep pictures/contacts etc separate. Is this possible??

My family has multiple iOS devices, all with 1 Apple ID. With iCloud coming, should I create separate Apple IDs for each member of my family?

Hello,
Between my family, we have 2 iPhones, multiple computers, iPads, and an Apple TV ALL tied in to the same Apple ID (the one I created when I got my first device). With iCloud coming, I wanted to know if I need to create separate Apple IDs for each family member (for emails, contacts, calendars, etc.). For instance, I would like to share certain contacts and a calendar with only my wife, all media between all family members, and have home sharing so that I can play/stream content on my Apple TV. Will there be a way to have multiple and distinct me.com accounts and yet share the same Apple ID?
Apologies for being verbose — just wanted to give ample info/background.
Thanks,
Jay.

I happened to stop at the Apple store yesterday for a separate issue and had a discussion about iCloud. Seems like this is how iCloud works (also, there's another thread on this forum that explains it well).
Each member of the family can have their own iCloud ID, which will be used for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Apps, Bookmarks, Media, Photos, etc. and having this content synced automatically with a Mac (computer). The iCloud IDs work in tandem with the associated Apple ID — so while you cannot have multiple Apple IDs, you can certainly have multiple iCloud IDs tagged with a certain Apple ID.
While all this makes sense from the iOS device standpoint, I'm unclear on how things will sync with a Mac computer, especially if the family uses a single iMac with multiple login IDs for various members. For instance, I currently have an iMac and iTunes content resides in my Public folder, which my wife can still access when she logs in with her login ID. I'm guessing that I'll be able to set up her iCloud ID using her login, set up my iCloud ID using my login, while both our iMac logins will retain the same Apple ID. This would take care of syncing Photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc.
Another (not sure if unique) problem I face is our Address Book — right now, we have one GIANT address book with different groups set up. Certain groups sync to her iPhone, while others to mine. Some contacts are common between both of us. I'm hoping that if she/I updates a common contact, then the change will be reflected in both our groups of contacts. I hope this makes sense — for instance, I update a contact named Joe, and he's on my group of contacts in my iPhone. Hope iCloud updates the master contact card for Joe on the iMac, which would then automatically trigger the update on my wife's group of contacts—that Joe also belongs to— leading to an update on her iOS device as well.
Apologies for the lengthy response..

Why do you need to create a new account?
Just change the payment method.

I can't create an icolud account

I tried to setup icloud on my PC and when i'm trying to log into icloud to the control panel it writes: the apple ID is valid but it's not an icloud account

You can not create an iCloud account in Windows. You need a Mac, an iPhone or an iPad.
If you have opened an iCloud account you can join it from a PC.

HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account?

I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account? I have one for myself, one for my family and one for my work. I had all three on my iphone and then I deleted my work. I wanted to get my own person @me.com account. It wouldn't let me create it from my iphone, so I created it from my Macbook Pro. I am trying to add it to my iphone, but it keeps giving me that error. If there is a way I can deactivate my work one so I can use my @me.com personal account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.
You should however be able to add existing accounts to your device, are you sure you aren't trying to create on rather than simply use an existing one.

HT5621 Hi, we have three iPhones and iPods which are currently linked to one apple ID. I have now set up an apple id for each phone/iPod. How do I go about re-directing the two accounts to the relevant one that has now been set up please?

Hi, we have three iPhones and iPods which are currently linked to one apple ID. I have now set up an apple id for each phone/iPod. How do I go about re-directing the two accounts to the relevant one that has now been set up please? I could do with a step by step guide to follow as am worried about loosing aps, music, photo's etc which are on the individual phones.
Thanks

On each of the phones you're gonna use a new Apple ID for iCloud: turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
This will have no affect on the ID you share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

HT4847 I have an iphone and ipad, how do I merge the two icloud space together

I have an iphone and ipad, how do I merge the two icloud space together

Your iCloud account has 5GB space for email, for calendar and contacts syncing, for iWork documents and for iOS backups - all these live on the sever. Both devices access the account; the 5GB space they make use of is the same and is on the server. It's not a case of two spaces, one for each device.

HT4436 I have a valid Apple ID, but I can't sign into iCloud. It tells me it is not an iCloud account. I have a PC. Where do I created and iCloud account?

I downloaded an iCloud on my PC. I can't log in with my Apple ID. It tells me the Apple ID is valid, but it is not an iCloud account. Where do I create an iCloud account?

I have the same question as helenfromargyllandbute - "Can I create an iCloud account on someone else's iPad" or Apple device? I do not own an iPad, iPhone, or any other of the fancy Apple gadgetry. I guess you'd say I'm "old school" in that I have Apple iTunes on my home PC with Windows 8.1 and that's it. My kids have iPhones but I'm still stuck in the cheap mode. Why did my PC prompt me with an "update" for iCloud and allow the "update" installation IF I had no iCloud account to begin with. I have an Apple ID... with my iTunes on my home PC, but that's it. ~Thanks for you help with this frustrating issue.

Since I have an iPhone and iTunes account can I open a me account or am I outa luck?

By "me" do you mean a MobileMe account? If so, then you can't as MobileMe is going to be terminated at the end of June. What you should look at is an iCloud account.

I do not have any IOS device!!! So how can i create an icloud account

How can I create a il=cloud account if i don"t have and IOS device. How does that actually work???

You can only create an iCloud account on a device with iOS 5, or a Mac with OS X Lion.
The whole point of iCloud is to sync your iOS devices with your computer...

i have an apple id and am trying to create an icloud account however my phone is not allowing me and saying that the number of free attempts have been exceeded even though this is my first attempt. how can i create an icloud account?

Are you sure the message isn't saying that the maximum number of accounts have already been created? When you get this message you will not be able to create another account on that device. Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account using a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.

I have only 1 ipad device, can I create 2 icloud accounts for the same ipad?

I have only 1 ipad device, can I create 2 icloud accounts for the same ipad?

Of course.
To create the first iCloud account, open Settings > iCloud, type your Apple ID and follow the steps to set up iCloud.
Then, to add a second iCloud account, open Settings > Mail, Contacts & Calendars > Add Account > iCloud, type the second Apple ID and set up iCloud for this Apple ID.
Note that one iCloud account will work as the primary account and the other one as the secondary account. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4020
