I have .mac and iCloud accounts on my ipad
Do I really need both on my iPad. If not, which should be deleted?
So go to settings --> iCloud --> Account --> and at the bottom what email does it show you're using?
If it shows your .mac email, then yes, it looks like it's duplicated accounts.
So, in the mail app do you have 2 email accounts?

I have the wrong icloud account on my ipad. If I go in and hit the red delete account button in settings of icloud will it just remove it from my ipad or remove it completely since it is on other devices
It only deletes if from this device, not from iCloud. Other devices still using the account will not be effected by this.

Looking for help deleting an old icloud account the email address is no long valid I thought I changed this and deleted it previously but the iOS 7 update brought it back and won't let me delet any suggestions
If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

How do I set up multiple e-mail and iCloud accounts on an iPad?
Hello everyone,
I have just purchased an iPhone and an iPad, and have upgraded to Mavericks - and that was only a week ago, so the workings of the cloud are not overly familiar with me yet.
I have just discovered to my dismay that unlike my iMac and Macbook, the iPad does not support accounts - or multiple users - in the Mac sense, although looking at the manual and the forums I believe it might be possible to do things another way, but all the postees have more experience of the devices and the cloud than I do.
What am I trying to get the iPad to do?
My use is fairly mixed, but mostly web browsing and music and some Apple TV. I do not have my regular e-mail address joined to the cloud, and don’t want to, as nearly all my e-mails are work based, and I don’t want those on a private device. My new iCloud e-mail address will do for friends at some point.
My wife surfs the web, uses e-mail, and Facebook. She would like all her content private, so I would expect some sort of password usage, or signing in and out of iCloud, or at least certain aspects of it like Mail. I’m not bothered about mine being kept private, and I expect my usage to be light. She does not have an Apple id or iTunes account.
I know you can put more than one e-mail address on there, and the menu on the iPad suggests I can add more than iCloud account?
Unfortunately, this is all a bit of a jigsaw puzzle and I feel I’m missing a few pieces.
Can some kind soul tell me if what I want to achieve is possible, and if it is, I would really appreciate an idiot’s guide on how to achieve this.
Many thanks in advance.Now I feel kind of stupid, or maybe I need new glasses. I did not see the get an new account link, just kept going back into my primary account. Thank you for your time and help.

I want to change my iCloud account. Buying iPad we gave a virtual (forwarding) email address.
We need to change to a real address.
But when we try to change the iCloud account, we can only change the password.
Note: we don't have a Mac, only an iPad and Windows.Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too. -
My wife and I have iPhones with 2 different iTune accounts and iCloud accounts, How can I set my Mac and iTunes up to be able to sync all as 1?.
You can't merge two iTunes accounts.

Can we have the same iCloud account for 2 Macs, 2 iPhones and an iPad?
My partner and I each have an iMac and an iPhone, and we have an iPad which we both use. It suits us to have a single iCloud account because we share all calendars and contacts.
However, we're about to upgrade our iPhones and I've read that if both the old and the new device has iOS 5 or later, the data transfer should be done via iCloud. Please can anyone tell me if 2 iPhones can be backed up to iCloud (currently they're backed up to the iMacs) without causing difficulty? Each phone has a different name attached to it, so I guess it may be OK if they're done one at a time. Or maybe it's OK to do the data transfer via iTunes, even though the iOS is 6.1.6...?
With thanks.Hello Gillylal Fordham-Lear,
This can be done via iTunes or iCloud, as detailed in the article linked below.

I have two different iCloud accounts - business and personal. I can't sign into Photo Stream with my personal account because it says my business account is my primary account. They are separate but equal accounts. I have tried deleting the iCloud account from my iPhone, then my MacBook Pro and signing in again on both devices. The iPhone says that my primary account ismy personal account (which is good) but my MacBook Pro still will not sign into that account so I can use Photo Stream.
Any suggestions? This iCloud stuff is getting annoying.you have a ps cs4 license for mac and you have some way of finding your serial number.
if yes, download an install the installation file. if you already have the installation file, what is its name and file extension? (eg, if it's one file, it should be a dmg file.)
if you need the installation file,

I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro (which belonged to them) to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account. How do I do this ? And is there any danger, in doing so, that I might delete any of her ICloud information ?
Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud. This will remove any synced data such as Calendars, emails and Contacts from your Mac, but will have no effect on the data on the server - so that other devices logged into it will continue to see the data.

I currently have 14,181 contacts that are on my computer, which an apple tech was nice enough to show me how to transfer all my contacts from my mac 2 "iCloud " account all though when ever I log into my "iCloud" account from a different web browser it still only shows 13,032. Meanwhile on my mac book pro, the "icloud" contact is still spinning like its trying to update the rest of the missing contacts. I have let the computer run for 2 days straight and still no progress. Is there a limit to how many contacts I store on "iCloud" I have upgraded to the extra 25 gigs per year. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it, because its also slowing down my mac book pro significantly causing it hard to do any other task on my computer....Any advice or help would be again greatly appreciated.
On the surface, it doesn't sound like you're reaching a limit in the number of contacts you can have.
I would first create a contacts archive (file >> export) for a backup. Then, go to system preferences >> icloud and uncheck contacts. Reboot. Return to those preferences and recheck contacts.
Also, review http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4489 just in case you have some contact cards that are reaching a different limitation. -
I have setup an iCloud account Is there a way to link 10.6 mac ?
I have setup an iCloud account with one of my Macs running Lion.
Now is there a way to link a 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Mac to the iCloud account ?
I've already begged for an update for 10.6.8
I like others can't believe Apple would support Windows 7 access but not
a very recent family member (10.6 folks) in the lurch.You can set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, but you cannot sync Contacts or Bookmarks, and iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:

How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?
You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html -
i am a teacher and my school has given all of us a ipad to use. it is set up with my school email and a shared itunues and icloud account. they have told us we can use it for anything that can be used for education purposes. i have downloaded books and other items that i have marked up for my use. however if there is ever a problem i cant identify my applications or books if other teachers have downloaded the same apps or books as well as my documents. is there a way to set up a 2nd itunes account and icloud account so that i may use that when backing up anything that would be personalized by me so that i can find what is rightfully mine. they are ok with it but were unsure how to do this, so can anyone help me? thanks
Sorry, you cannot use more than one iTunes account at a time.

I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. Any help on how I can I do this?
You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.
