Is it possible to interconnect 2 iCloud accounts together for find my iPhone purposes?

For find my iPhone and iPad purposes; is it possible to establish a link beween 2 iCloud accounts? For example: my spouse and myself?

No, but if you are simply attempting to locate each other, try the find my friends app.

TS3988 Can I set up additional icloud accounts just for Find My iPhone?

i have 5 iphones, 4 of which are under my icloud account id. I'd like to know if can have access to my son's iphone location with the Find My iPhone app using his icloud account information on my iphone.

Yes. You don't need to set up or use additional iCloud accounts on your phone to do this. You can track any device using Find My iPhone from your phone by downloading the free Find My iPhone app, then in the app signing into the iCloud ID that the device(s) you are trying to track are using.

Can i use multiple icloud accounts in my find my iphone app?

Can i use multiple icloud accounts in my find my iphone app? I have multiple accounts that i want to tie to that app.

You can't buy another one. You have to reuse one of the accounts previously set up on your phone, or create a new one to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.

Second iCloud/Apple ID for find my iphone (in the enterprise)

My organization has several iPhone 6's on which we want to use find my iphone with an enterprise apple id. We want to let the user have their own icloud account for everything else. Is there a way to do this?
If we have to wipe a device we will need the find my iphone (icloud) password. If the employee has left the company they may be unwilling or unable to give it to us. Especially if the parting was on less than amicable terms. There should be a way for us to wipe the device and restore the OS without having to go to an apple store and provide proof of ownership. I am advised that this was possible before ios 7

An IOS device may only be signed into one account at a time, not both. You'll need to decide which matters most, personal use or business use of the device.
You may also want to open a business account for purchases made for company use. http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/

How do I add a device to my iCloud? - specifically for "Find my iPhone"

Hi All,
How would I go about adding my old iPod Nano to our "newest" iCloud/iTunes account? We recently had a theft of one of our iPod Touches and I am trying to make sure ALL Apple products are covered moving forward. I believe my husband registered his iPod Nano to his account a long time ago before we realized we should just use one and customize in settings but it won't let me register it (iPod Nano) to mine... I've tried... I even tried to re-add my old iPod Touch (stolen one) but it wouldn't work. ***** - because I could totally DELETE everything whenever I wanted if that were the case. So bummed.
If you know how to do this please let me know. If I need to basically "create" a separate "find my iPhone" specifically for this product... let me know. I am OK either way. I just really wish I could have done this for my other one that was stolen.
I HIGHLY recommend that everyone download Lion OS to use iCloud and really utilize ALL its features. I'm still learning ... day 2 for me but am super happy thus far.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If the nano can't run iOS 5 (I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think it can), then it can't be used with Find my Phone.

How can I use a different Apple ID for Find My iPhone than for iCloud syncing/storage and iTunes purchases?

I use two different Apple ID's for two iPhone 4's and for iTunes on my PC. I use one for purchases and the other for Find My iPhone on both phones. How can I set up iCloud for both phones using each ID for it's user for storage and backup but keep one ID for purchases and one for Find My iPhone on both phones?

To better describe what I am needing:
1. - iPhone 1
2. - iPhone 2
A. - Apple ID #1
B. - Apple ID #2
On 1. I need A for purchases and iCloud and B for Find My iPhone.
On 2. I need A for purchases and B for iCloud and Find My iPhone.
In addition, will iCloud store text messages?

As you already knew, no, you cannot create a new iCloud account from anything but the above devices.

Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account? For example: iPad and iPhone, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud), is this possible?

Hello Apple Community,
Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account?
For example: iPad Air and iPhone 5, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud). Is this possible?
This way when I change from an old ipad to a new, I can restore with the ipad backup, and when I change from an old iphone to a new, I can restore from the
iphone backup.
Thank you in advance!

Terminology check here. Do you really mean a "CD"? There's a difference in Cloud behavior between content from a physical CD you ripped (which only has Cloud content if you have iTunes Match) and an "album" you bought from the iTunes Store.
Read references for Home Sharing.
iTunes: How to share music and video - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688 - about Music Sharing and Home Sharing
Home Sharing Support page - http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/
iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
The above can get pretty complicated. You are probably best off by syncing both devices to a single library and/or updating the libraries on both computers to have the same content.

Is it possible to make an iCloud account used by everyone in my school?

In my school we have iPads. Would it be possible to make an iCloud account used by everyone for contacts and calendars?

You do not give everyone the username and password of that account. This would be a violation of iCloud terms and conditions.
I've done what you want done with a calendar. You use the iCloud account yourself, then use the 'broadcast' facility to produce a subscription URL that everyone can put into their calendar software. If you make the calendar public anyone can subscribe. They don't even have to know the account name let alone the password.
Log into the account on www.icloud.com and test it out.
Once you have that working you might try the same thing with a contact list. I see no reason it shouldn't work.

Is it possible to delete my icloud account?

Is it possible to delete my icloud account?

If you mean from the iCloud server, no: just stop using it. You can remove it from your devices by going to System Preferences or Settings>iCloud and clicking 'Sign out' (on a Mac) or 'Delete account' (on an iOS device).

Possible to have individual iCloud act's but share one for Find My iPhone?

I have yet to take the plunge (rocket) to iCloud -- too many questions and I haven't figured out all the logistics yet. But here's a big question I have.
I've seen a lot of threads with recommendations on how to set a family up - most of them involve each iPhone having their own iCloud ID and then sharing one iTunes account for shared music.
My question. Is it possible to have individual iCloud accounts set up on the individual phones BUT ALSO share an iCloud account for the purposes of Find My iPhone, so we can easily see our phones on one screen?
If so, how is that done?
Thanks!

I don't know the answer to this 100%, but I would recommend downloading Apple's "Find My Friends" App because that will enable you to see all phones on one screen.

HT204053 iCloud says my Apple ID is valid but it is not an iCloud account. I find how to link on Apple services but it seems to leave me hanging. How do I actually link the 2 accounts? On a Windows 8 PC?

iClound Control Panel says my Apple ID is valid but it is not an iCloud account. How do I link the 2 accounts on a Windows 8 PC with iTunes 11. I go to Apple services and it gives some instructions; but they leave me hanging. They tell me to put in the same user name and then just stop. Doesn't say what to do next. I did what it said and the 2 accounts are still not linked. Anyone know how to assist? Thank you.

Apple isn't trying to be anti-PC with this; they support PCs going all the way back to Vista SP2, a 3-generation old version of Windows. To sync iCloud with a Mac you have to be running one of the last 2 versions of the OS X operating system (i.e., a newer version than you do on Windows). I assume it's set up this way because it's a service provided customers purchasing Apple devices that utilize iCloud syncing services, and if you happen to also you own a PC, it will sync with that as well. It wouldn't make sense for them to provide this service, including a free 5GB iCloud account, hosting for backups, syncing services, free photo stream, etc. for non-Apple customers (who, for example, may only own a PC).
If you have a friend with one of these devices who is willing to let you create the account on their device, you could then use it on your PC. They would have to delete the existing account from their device in Settings>iCloud, then let you sign in with your ID to create a new account, then delete this account from their device and sign back into their own account. You could then use this ID to sign into the newly created account on your PC. Note: each device can only create 3 iCloud accounts, so you would be using one of their 3 alotted accounts, but they may be willing to do this for you.
iCloud is really designed to keep your data in sync across multiple devices that you may own, and with your computer. It will also automatically back up your device, stream photos taken on one device to all your other devices, and allow you to locate a misplaced device using Find My iPhone. It doesn't, however, sync music if that's what you're looking for.
If you want to be able to access your music from iCloud you don't need an iCloud account for this. As mentioned earlier, music purchased from the iTunes store is already available in iCloud. Music from other sources, such as in your case, can only be accessed from iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). If you do, you can then upload your iTunes library (up to 25,000 songs) to iCloud an access them from an iOS device via iCloud, even without an iCloud account. Music purchased from other sources that is copy protected (contains DRM) is not eligible and will not be uploaded to iCloud so be sure your music purchased from Amazon doesn't contain DRM before subscribing.

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

HT204053 2 devices - 1 icloud account issues; importing data to Iphone 6

I have an Iphone 4G and ipad which was sharing 1 icloud account . Big mistake! Because, the storage space was insufficient for both devices' data, I stopped backing up any more data into the icloud. Now I bought a new Iphone 6 and am wondering how I am to sync all my data ( including all the photos and contacts and apps) across from the Iphone 4G to the Iphone 6 .
Also, since I originally have 2 devices, can I create another icloud account separate for 4G now and then use that to sync my data across to the new Iphone 6?
Otherwise I find it impossible to start using my iphone 6 at all!
Thank you for any advice.

Thank you for your reply.
My concern is that I do not want the data ( except for emails) which is in Ipad to be synced over to the new iphone which I made the mistake of doing before with Iphone 4. The 2 devices are used for very different purposes so I would like to have 2 separate accounts for each device. My problem is trying to import only data from the iphone 4G to the new Iphone ,whereas since previously I only set up 1 icloud account for both devices, the data ( eg photos, songs , books and apps ) appeared on both devices. I am trying to deviate from this. so in essence., I am hoping to set up a totally new account for the new iphone but to copy data from iphone 4 across.
Or should I buy extra storage for a month just for the purpose of backing up all data from both ipad and iphone 4 into that particular icloud account, then set up a new icloud account for iphone 6 and copy everything across and then delete data that came from the ipad one by one in the iphone 6 . After all, the new iphone 6 has 64 gb. In that way, I can still maintain the icloud account for ipad ( and then delete all the unnecessary data from iphone 4 in that particular icloud account) and have a separate icloud account for the new Iphone 6 as well.
Would really appreciate some feedback . TQ.
