ICloud accounts are backwards

I noticed that when I logged into iCloud this morning with my id, my wifes name appears. So I logged into my iMac with her account, logged her into iCloud with her id and my name shows. Not sure what the issue is. Is anyone else having this issue if they share their Mac with another user account?
Thanks

To stop this, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores (Settings>Store in iOS 5) and turn Automatic Downloads to Off.

You may need to do this more than once.

How is it that so many of our iCloud accounts are being hacked into? My was and scam messages were sent to a lot of people. I even received one from someone else's hacked iCloud account.

How is it that so many of our iCloud accounts are being hacked into? Mine was and scam messages were sent to a lot of people. I even received one from someone else's hacked iCloud account.

All it takes is for one computer to be infected by a virus (obviously a PC) that sends all its contacts to the hacker's server, and then all these contacts are used as recipients to scam emails. Hackers even post stolen contacts on the web for others to use.

I purchased IPod touch for grandson and he has screwed up his ICloud and cannot remember email or password used to do the original setup. Now receiving message that no more ICloud accounts are available for this unit. Is there a way to work through this?

Grandson and friend just reset system several times and now neither can remember which email account or password was used to set up the ICloud account. I try to set up the account for him again and receive the message that no more accounts are available. I cannot reset because just like them, I don't know what they used. Surely, there must be some way to wipe out their settings and start fresh again?

Just connect to itunes and restore the ipod, when the restore is complete set it as a new ipod. Your problem must be resolved.

Hi there
I had the same problem and I found this answer to a similar question to ours, so I copied and pasted it for you
Reset the device by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for approximately 10 seconds. After it resets the message will be gone and you can go to settings > icloud and put in your password.
That seems to be a bug with the password alert where it won't respond correctly sometimes.
Hope this helps

ITunes Match and iCloud accounts are different.

I bought my mom this iPad Air 2 for Christmas and I'm trying to get it so that she can have access to my iTunes Match account. I made the account on my AppleID so I can control the library for them. When I first set up her iPad, all her pictures and stuff were there. Then I changed the settings so that she could access the iTunes Match account, it still is using her AppleID for her iCloud but now it's my AppleID in the iTunes for the iTunes Match access and her pictures are no showing up anymore.
I'm SURE there has to be a way for iTunes Match to use my ID for that and still load all her pictures from her AppleID from her phone... right?
I should clarify, on my AppleID I don't have any apps, nor do I have an Apple product, I only signed up for an AppleID so that I could use it to get iTunes Match and control the playlists for them and everything. So she's logged in to her AppleID for iCloud and logged into my AppleID for the iTunes Match account. The pictures are all gone now though.

It stays on your phone until you delete it. If you download a song, album or artist, you can delete them by swiping across the title and tapping delete. If you play a song without downloading it, it is stored in cache memory on your phone. As you phone starts to reach full capacity, older and less frequently played songs begin to automatically be deleted from cache. Or, to remove them all, occasionally go to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe across All Music and tap Delete.

How to turn off "find my iphone" when all the buttons are disable about on/off in my icloud account?

MY APPLE ID AND ICLOUD ACCOUNT HAVE BEEN HACKED COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. ALL THE CONTENTS OF MY IPHONE HAS REMOVED. SO I HAVE RESTORED MY IPHONE BY USING MY OLD BACKUP.

I WANNA ERASE MY IPHONE OR ERASE THE ICLOUD ACCOUNT.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
WAITING FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS...

According to Apple support, you cannot remove the phone on the device list under "find my iphone" until you turn it off and it goes offline. (It also says the device will go back on "find my iphone" when it goes online again, which seems to mean you can successfully remove it, but as soon as you turn it back on it will be back on the list, and thus you will not be able to restore it.) It's a bit of a conundrum. In my case I couldn't for some reason turn off my phone with the home/sleep buttons - nothing happens, the phone stays on. While on a chat with Apple support, they got my iphone offline (I was able to turn it off by pressing the sleep button and swiping where the red "turn off iphone" arrow would have appeared) and removed it from "find my phone", but when I reconnected to itunes it turned on and reappeared in the "find my phone" list. Luckily, the screen suddenly appeared (it had done this several times yesterday, just briefly), so I was able to turn off "find my device" from the phone. I was then able to restore. Unfortunately, this does not answer the question of how to remove the device from "find my iphone" and keep it off while connecting with itunes to restore (unless you have my good fortune of having the screen suddently reappear). Apple support seemed puzzled that it had reappeared on the device list under "find my iphone". Time will tell whether the restoration fixes the blank screen issue.

How do i delete an icloud account without a password

I bought a i phone 4s and i am trying to set it up. Forgive me if these are obvious questions - i am new to all this. I have a apple ID/password which i have created, however my current itunes account/icloud account are set up/picking up my old email address which i no longer have access to and dont know the password. i have tried to delete the icloud account but it says i need a password. I have tried the forgot password option on apple to which it doesnt recognise my birthday as being the same as their records for some reason, and i cant access the reset email as i dont have this address anymore.
how do i delete an icloud account without a password?
thanks for any help

you can´t delete an icloud account without using the password.
if you can confirm that your iphone is not locked to icloud device activation with this AppleID your are not aware and you have no access for - you can attempt to "erase all settings and content" on your iphone, to remove the icloud account from your iphone. all your data will be erased and iphone is set to factory settings

How do you make separate ICloud accounts for people who all use the same Apple ID?

Me, my brother and mam all use the same Apple ID (i.e. this one. I'm not Debra) so is it possible to create three different ICloud accounts? I only want my music, pictures etc to go to my IPad, IPhone and my account on the Mac. If it's not possible, is there a way to see all the activity from this Apple ID in one place and split it into three different ID's easily? Thank's for any replies

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't have 3 accounts with one ID.
If the reason you want to keep a single ID is so you can share music and apps etc, then you should be aware that the iTunes account and iCloud accounts are different accounts, you can all share an iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts (each iCloud account would have its own ID).

How do I delete all iCloud accounts from different places to consolidate them? Also one of the email addresses is locked so will the material bought from iTunes there be acceptable? Thanks.

From the title of the above problems the iCloud accounts are on 2 PCs and one iPad2.

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").
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)
You'll need to decide whether to keep info on the device or merge it at the appropriate time when prompted.

HT204053 My wife and I have one Apple ID through which we have individually purchased apps using our own iPads. We both now have our own iCloud accounts. How do we separate the original apps between the two iCloud accounts? Will we lose any apps in the pr

My wife and I have one Apple ID through which we have individually purchased apps for her iPad and my iPad 2. We both now have individual iCloud accounts, and she now has an iPhone. For business reasons we now have to separate the apps under our individual iCloud accounts, but will maintain a single Apple ID for purchases. How can we separate the apps?

Hi Shadow,
The apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that they were purchased under. Your iCloud accounts are also Apple IDs, so although you can sync the apps to your individual device via iTunes, you will be syncing them to the devices, not to iCloud.
Since you are still purchasing everything under one Apple ID, then I'm presuming that they live in a single iTunes library on your computer or Mac? If that is the case, then you would just want to:
Hook up a device to the Mac or computer
Select the device when it shows up under devices
Once selected, the Device Profile screens display to the right - click on the Apps tab, and select which ones you want on that device.
Also check all the other profile pages to make sure they are set up to sync the things you want to sync to that device.
On the info page, you will see that you can sync Contacts & Calendars via iCloud or via iTunes. If you want a single source for contacts & calendars for both of your devices, sync them via iTunes. If you want your own sets of contacts & calendars, sync them via iCloud.
Do you have iCloud set up on the computer or Mac? If so, which iCloud account are you planning on using?
Some of the decisions you will want to make will depend on how you have your computer or Mac configured in conjunction with iTunes. One Apple ID, but one or two User Accounts for the computer or Mac? iCloud on the computer or Mac? What do you want to share and to not share?
Post back with any questions.
Cheers,
GB

Can you backup more than one iphone to the same icloud account?

My wife and I both have iphones and for simplicity's sake have always used the same itunes account and now with IO5 find that our itunes and icloud accounts are the same. Before enabling backup for our iphones we wondered if you can backup two different iphones to the same icloud account? Or will only one of us be able to backup to icloud and the other have to backup locally on our PC?

You can back both up with the same Apple ID (iCloud account). They will be kept as separate and unique backups.

HT204053 it need to pay for using icloud account?

If i have already icloud account on iphone 4s but i can not use for sending mail..so do i need to pay for this service?

The features of iCloud account are free, you only pay for any storage you need beyond the 5GB of free storage that comes with the account. Are you having trouble sending iCloud email?

Change email adress on an icloud account

Hi,
I'd like to change the email adress attached to my iCloud account but can't figure out how to do so.
I've got 2 @me.com and want to change the one set up but can't find out where and how to do that.
Any ideas?

You can't add an existing @me.com address to an existing iCloud account.
@me.com addresses are already Apple IDs and iCloud accounts are based on an Apple ID, so trying to add one to the other is effectively attempting to merge two Apple IDs which isn't possible.
Did you not move your @me.com MobileMe AppleID to iCloud as recommended here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895 ?

Contacts.app shows duplicate iCloud accounts

I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and my Contacts app shows 4 duplicate iCloud contact sets. When I check the preferences > accounts setting within the app, it shows 4 entries for iCloud, each for the same iCloud account. When I try to remove any of them, it suggests I go over to Internet Accounts in System Preferences. Within System Preferences there was only 1 iCloud account, not 4. I removed that account from my computer yet the duplicates remain. I can't get rid of them. Please help!

I found a way to resolve this.
1) Remove iCloud from your System Preferences (make sure all your iCloud content is backed up somewhere else first (via Time Machine or on another Mac)
2) Shutdown
3) Boot up
4) Open up contacts app
5) Open Preferences of Contacts and go to "Accounts"
6) Select the rogue iCloud account and click the button in the bottom right "Edit account", this will open up system preferences and the rogue iCloud account will reappear there. Hit the Minus button in the left sidebar to remove it.
7) Quit System Preferences & quit Contacts app
8) Shutdown & Boot up again
9) Repeat steps 4-8 until all of the duplicate/rogue iCloud accounts are removed from the Contacts app.
10) Once completely free of the duplicate/rogue iCloud accounts in Contacts app, re-enable iCloud in System Preferences.
I did this to remove 4 duplicates and now have one clean iCloud account in the Contacts app.
