I seem to have 2 icloud accounts

When I look at my contacts on my iMac I seem to have 2 iCloud accounts.  One has all my contacts on and the other only has about 10.  When I enter new details on my iPad or iPhone it only backs up to the shortened iCloud account

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Copy the contacts to the iCloud account that you are using on your iPad, if this is a secondary account on your Mac you should sign out and back in as your primary iCloud account (after copying the contacts) then remove the account you are no longer using.

  • HT4623 Updating iPad2 to iOS 7, all my photos in camera rolls are gone, can't locate them anywhere?! Were they just deleted, or is there a way to find them? Did not have iCloud account, so not backed-up there.

    Just updated our iPad2 to iOS 7, and all my photos in camera rolls are gone, can't locate them anywhere. Were they just deleted, or is there a way to find them? Did not have iCloud account, so not backed-up there.

    We're you backing up to a computer using iTunes? If so, restore the backup from there.

  • It seem i have three accounts how can i consolidate them

    Over maybe twenty years i have had several accounts . Icloud has now caused me a problem and it seems each devices access an a different account all i need to do is bring everytjing under one account if possible any ideas neil

    I'm afraid you can't merge IDs. You can enter more than one iCloud account to a device but only the first one you add will actually sync. You need to have the same account as the primary account on each Mac or device.

  • Have iCloud account, have changed e-mail address, can't edit iCloud account, how is this done?

    How do I edit my iCloud account?

    OK, After an hour or so, I found a resolution to this if anyone runs into the problem as described above.
    I had to go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar
    Select my iCloud account and turn off all the components
    Mail > Off
    Contacts > Off
    Calendars > Off
    Reminders > Off
    Safari > Off
    Notes > Off
    Passbook > Off
    Photo Stream > Off
    Documents and Data > Off
    Find My iPhone > Off
    The only component that stalled for awhile was Calendars. I am not sure why as I dont have any data there. Once everything was turned off, I was able to Delete the iCloud account. I cannot explain this behaviour, but it worked.

  • Seem to have 2 accounts and want to get rid of one with wrong email and payment methods

    I have 2 accounts and wish to close one as email details and payment method are changed.

    Only iTunes Support can potentially delete an account, which will also remove any content that was downloaded on the account :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    If you don't want to use the account anymore then you can log into it and remove any personal info from e.g. payment details. If you have any downloads on the account that you want to retain access to then remember the id and its password, you will need them if you want to redownload them, authorise them on a new computer, and download updates to its apps.

  • I seem to have an account set up in iCloud, but when I sign it, it does not show all of my content. It only shows a few of my apps, photo stream is missing How do I view everygthing on my iphone and ipad ?

    My iphone4 and my ipad mini were synced to my computer, but now I don't seem to be able to see all of my content nor my photo stream.  I did see everything there several weeks ago, so I know it worked. How do I access those from my computer.  I can't find how to sign on. 
    I signed on to iCloud, but it only shows the icons for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Find Phone, Numbers, Pages and Keynotes. Where's everything else ?
    I want to delete photos that are on my iphone, by doing so from the computer, not my phone.

    What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

    Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

  • HT204053 I have recently changed my apple id email address, which was ok however I have recently changed my password and now I have icloud account/sign-in issues, can anyone help?

    I changed my apple id email address  last week, not a problem I just entered the correct info on my 6 apple devices for FaceTime, AppStore and iTunes.
    The issue now, is that I have changed my appleid password so that the kids couldn't install any apps and charge my credit card.
    Now I am getting an icloud authorisation error, it is telling me that the account (old apple id) or password are incorrect.
    What have I done and how can I fix it?
    Do I have to 'delete account' on my iphone and add a new one? I have just paid for the max icloud storage plan as well.

    I FOUND THE SOLUTION!
    I had the same exact problem. I had my old apple ID connected to a school email which did not exist anymore. My ipad was prompting me to put the password in for that ID and I could not delete it from my ipad because the "Find My Ipad" was turned on, once again prompting for password. I called apple and they said this Apple no longer exists and is not in there system, which I knew already. After hours on the phone nobody could help me. Try this.
    -Go to create a new Apple ID and use the same email address as the old apple ID which is locked in on your ipad
    -Create a new password and all that, it will say it send a verification link to your email, in my case my email no longer exists so I could not do this
    - I called Apple to explain this problem and I asked if they could verify it for me, which they did after I convinced them it was worth a try. The guy told me that the verification shouldnt matter and should still be able to login but he did it anyway. You can try skipping this step but if it doesn't work then go ahead.
    -Go to ICloud and click on your account, the email should be grayed out but it should allow you to change that password, put in the new password which you just created.
    -This allowed me to sign in to accept the new terms and conditions but it said "unable to conncet to server" so I just backed out and went to "Delete Account" and it worked!
    The whole idea is to re-create your old apple ID into Apple's system and then use that new password. The guy at Apple said tons of people called about this problem and nobody could solve it. I thanked him for helping me and he thanked me for helping him. I hope this helps you!

  • Multiple iCloud Accounts on 1 iDevice?

    Is it possible to have multiple iCloud accounts active on 1 iDevice at the same time? I know you can have a separate account for purchases, but can you pick and chose what is synced with each account?
    I have 2 iPhone's (mine, my wife's). We currently share a MobileMe account. My thought is to each have our own iCloud account for certain things (back-ups, notes, reminders) and another for things we want to share (calendar, contacts, purchases).
    For example:
         iCloud X on iPhone 1
         iCloud Y on iPhone 2
         iCloud Z on both
    Is it possible? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

    My husband and I have a very similar setup.  We each have iCloud accounts. We only want 2:
         his we have used for "family" email and syncing calendars, contacts, and find my iPhone,
         mine for mail and reminders.
    So his iPhone connects to only his account,  but but mine is set up to connect to both, his account for family mail that I need, syncing calendars and contacts and to mine.
    This works fine for everything except siri. I don't completely understand how siri works, but if I tell siri on my phone that I am me, my husbands phone is synced and I am marked as me on his as well.  This my mother is labled as his on his phone. Not sure how to fix?
    Help!

  • How do I sync multiple icloud accounts with Outlook?

    My wife and I both have icloud accounts and we use icloud to sync our calendars.  I currently have icloud setup to sync with my Outlook, but I cannot find a way to sync my wifes icloud to my Outlook as well.  I am just wanting to sync the calendar items on both icloud accounts to Outlook.

    Icloud does not get installed.
    To sync contacts between iCloud and outlook requires iCloud control panel.

  • Multiple iCloud accounts on one Mac

    I would like to set up an ical calendar to sync all the schedules of my family members. We all have iCloud accounts. This worked before in mobileme, but since the iCloud upgrade it no longer works. Any suggestions to get this working again?

    The simplest way to do this would probably to set up Private Sharing: one of you would publish a calendar and the others would subscribe to it with write privileges. Please see
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479
    and expand 'Share a private calendar or reminder list with specific people'.

  • HT4859 Ive lost my contacts by using a new device on the same iCloud account army phone I deleted the contacts off the iPad and it took them off my phone as well how do I get my contacts back please help

    I've lost all my contacts off my phone I synced my I pad with the same account when I deleted the contacts from the I pad it deleted them from my phoneidont have it backed up on a pc how do I get it back

    If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted.  The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync.  You need to use different IDs.  You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps.  But use different icloud IDs.

  • HT1296 can i use one outlook account with two icloud accounts

    I am running MS outlook 2010 on Windows XP platform and my wife and I both have iCloud accounts.  I wanted to know whether or not both iCloud accounts could be automatically synced with my MS Outlook contacts/calendars. 
    I have no problem using one account at a time but hate the idea of having to toggle between the two accounts to keep outlook current.
    Thank you.

    Yes you can, iTunes will identify your phone by serial number and phone number.
    Best if you can to set different name to your phone under SETTINGS/GENERAL/ABOUT/Name and to name like e.g. iphone3G and the other iPhone 4s.
    So everytime you sync, itunes will backup your phone's contents and data and you will be able to identify from the backup files correctly in future.
