Iphone 4s + 3g one itune, two iclouds accounts?

My daughter and I are going to share the itune account.  She already set up icloud for her 3g under our itune account user name.  I just purchased the iphone 4s, can we share the same icloud user name for both phones, or should I create my own icloud user name and if so, how do I do that, since we are sharing itune user name.
thank for your help.

Go to Settings>iCloud and set up a separate iCloud account on each phone using a separate Apple ID.  Do the same for iMessage and FaceTime.  Share the same Apple ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores (or Settings>Store in iOS 5).
If you've already set up the same iCloud account on both phones, on one of the phones go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account (you will be given the option to keep the data on the phone), then set up a different account.  (Deleteing the account only deletes if from the phone, not from iCloud.  The other phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)

  • One PC, two iCloud accounts and photo stream...

    I have the feeling I know what the answer is going to be to this question, but figured I'd ask just in case. So, my wife and I have an iPhone each and both need the ability to auto-upload photos from our phones to our (single) laptop without having to plug in and manually transfer them. I love the auto upload feature with iCloud, but as only one of us can be logged in to iCloud on the lap top at a time, it doesn't seem to work for us.
    Is there a way to:
    1. Sync photos taken by different iPhones/iCloud accounts to the same PC simultaneously?
    2. Back up/auto upload photos from different iPhones automatically to our PC any other way?
    Many thanks!

    well, the simplest thing you can do is to go to settings - mail,contacts,calendars, click add account and then select iCoud. After you enter username and pass, you have to select that you want your calendar to be used on that adress.
    EDIT: on this list, just select calendars

  • HT201269 how to merge two icloud accounts

    I have an Iphone 4s & I bought a Iphone 5S but I have two Icloud accounts instead of one. Can someone help me merging both accounts into one.

    You can't merge Apple IDs. If you just created a new one, stop using it. Don't buy anything using it. Sign out of it on our new phone and sign back in with your original Apple ID.

  • Photostream not working - two iphones, one itunes account, two icloud accounts

    Hello,
    My wife and I both have iphones (both 4s). I have had mine for some time and she got hers last week.
    We have one itunes account. We have two icloud accounts.
    We cannot get shared photostreams to - my phone will not receive invites from hers. It works the other way round though.
    All the settings are correct and switched on.
    Please don't send me to the FAQ page as I have tried everything on there to no avail
    Thanks
    Matt

    The quickest and easiest thing to do is take the desired iPhone and connect it to the desired iTunes account. This most likely will erase and data on the iPhone and replace it with the data from the itunes account it is connected to.

  • I have two iCloud accounts, my original one that I used for iTunes years ago which has all my content, apps etc and a mobile me one which I got when I set mobile me up which has all my settings etc, this is causing problems, can I merge them?

    As I said I have two iCloud accounts, both do different things, i.e. my original iTunes account has all my app's and music etc, and then also the account which was set up for me when I set up a 'mobile me' account has all my calendars, contacts, settings etc, how can I merge these or even easily set my settings etc to go to my older iTunes account, I have tried to set up family sharing and all I can share is my calendars not my apps because they are with another iTunes account.
    I am also a little concerned that my fire vault has just set its self up using the mobile me account, if I was to get rid of an account I imagine this would be the easiest one to ditch then what would happen to all my encrypted data?
    Many thanks for your help.

    I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

  • Can u have two icloud accounts attached to one itunes account

    i would like to have my daughter ipod touch on a different account so that i dont recieve her texts on my phone.  can i have two icloud accounts to one itunes account so that i dont have to open another itunes account and repurchase all her apps and music

    No really.  See:
    Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
    You can resolve the Messages and similar FaceTime problem by first setting them up using the Apple /iTunes ID email address and then adding another email messaging/calling email address and then deleting the Apple/iTunes ID email address.

  • 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,

  • How can I have one "family" Apple ID and two icloud accounts one for me and one for the wife?

    MacVirgin!Just got new Air and iMac (iphones on the way). How can I have one Apple ID but two iCloud accounts (one for me and one for my wife)? I have set up one iCloud account and am attempting to share contacts between iMac, iCloud and Air, however iMac and iCloud are not in sync? I must be missing something very simple.

    ok. I set up the imac and Air with one user account. this was used to activae iCloud on both machines and I have now se up one iCloud account and managed to share calander and contacts between the two. Ultimately both me and my wife will have an iphone and we wish to share calenders and contacts. We both also use the imac and air on one user account. It looks like I need to set another user account then activate iCloud in my wifes Apple ID

  • I have two iCloud accounts .mac and .me. My contacts are duplicated 2 and 3 times. I only want one account.

    Somehow, I ended up with two iCloud accounts. A .mac and a .me. I only need one but can not make the .me the primeray one (it tells me that the email is already in use). Anyways, I also have my contact records duplicated 2 and 3 times. I went to the Apple store in Beijing (I'm in China now) and they did not seem to know much about iCloud. They told me that I have to erase my contacts on the iPhone and iPad and then manually erase the duplicates. Is there another way to do it? How can I set up iCloud so that I only have one account?

    You can't delete an iCloud account.  You can, however, sign out of that account and just stop using it.  Then sign in to your second account on all devices account.

    After changing my e-mail address, two iCloud accounts were created, my iphone is unusable due to password requests every few seconds and my iCloud account has been blocked. What can I do?

    So, you are saying that you set up a brand new Apple ID and then signed into iCloud with it, correct?
    Are you also saying both accounts are disabled for Security reasons? If not, why can't you sign on with the one that is not disabled?
