Is it possible to setup separate 2 iCloud accounts?

Hi, I want to setup a separate email account using iCloud because it is for "less important" emails.
I don't this this is possible from what I can see, but can you please confirm this for me? I have one at the moment which is my main account
Thank you

I do not use outlook so I am not Positive about what will happen.
You can add as many iCloud (@me.com or @mac.com), imap, and pop accounts as you want in the setup I described.
Others, I think, were thinking you wanted to add two iCloud accounts to a single iCloud login.
You cannot setup a second account on iCloud.
You can set up 2+ iCloud accounts on a Mac in Apple Mail or on an iPhone in Mail.
You can set up other imap and pop accounts on a Mac in Apple Mail or on an iPhone in Mail.
From what you say, Outlook seems to be an imap account so may work, but can't say for sure since MS often does things different that everyone else.
If I understand what you are doing - the Outlook-imap account will sync to all machines that it is set up on BUT make sure you leave mail on the server, put copies of sent mail on the server, leave deleted mail on the server, and even leave junkmail on the server. If you download them to your machine things May not look the same everywhere. Imap is better that pop was at this, but you could still lose something under certain circumstances.
Mail used to ask what type of account and you had to select iCloud, imap, pop, etc. Now it seems to recognize the Apple servers automatically and fill them in properly as iCloud accounts. For my other accounts I had to tell it imap or pop. I do not know how the outlook works.
I would just try the defaults if it was auto-filled in first - unless you know otherwise.
But be sure to set up the program to leave everything on the server. That way if something is wrong you won't lose an email.
- You say its incoming is an imap server, imap-mail.outlook.com, so just set it up like any imap account is what I suspect.
- Outgoing will always be an smtp server somewhere so that is likely right.
- Use only - if you send an email from an account and it can't get out on the server it will try others unless you have this filled in. Most smtp servers will send only mail only For addresses of an account on that service so it is most likely best to click it. What will happen is if it can't get out right away it will wait in the outbox until it can.
- Alias is only for an account where you can and do have one. If you have an alias on your outlook account and want to use it on the Mac you will need to fill it in.
- Authentication is different for different servers. Check Outlook help to see if it gives any hints as to how to setup on a different mail program - But it may not. Apple id more likely to give you directions on how to set up on a Windows machine that MS is to give directions for an Apple machine

How can I separate my iCloud account from my sons phone

How can I separate my iCloud account from my sons phone?

Just delete your iCloud account from your sons device. Therefor open "Settings >iCloud", scroll down, and delete your account (don't worry, it will only delete the account from your sons device). If he also uses this account for iTunes and App store purchases and you would like to change that as well, then you have to do the same in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores".

Is it possible to create a new iCloud account and permanently transfer existing store purchases to it?

Is it possible to create a new iCloud account and permanently transfer existing store purchases to it?

Thank you for taking the time to try to answer my question. Let me phrase it slightly differently...
I have a very old appleid that I've used for store purchases. I had a MobileMe account that was upgraded to iCloud. I'd like to merge the account data. I've been hoping Apple would come up with a solution to this, but they haven't yet.
So, I'm wondering if I should make a new account of some sort and try to transfer data to it from both of the old accounts. It sounds like that can't work.
I suppose then that the only thing to do is manually transfer all the information from the old MobileMe account to the primary appleid (which is some sort of iCloud + Store combination, no?). That might not be that hard to do, but it is somewhat high risk.

How to setup a second icloud account

I would like to setup a second icloud account to use just for syncing and backup. Is there a way to do that on an existing iphone or does it have to be done when you initially setup a phone?

Let me re-phrase my question. I currently have my icloud setup on a .me email and others in my family are on the same icloud account. I will be upgrading to a 5S this Friday and am wondering if during setup I could create a different icloud.com account just for my use instead of using the shared .me account. My iTunes is on yet a different account and will stay the same.

Is it possible to have a joint iCloud account on iPad & iPhone and have seperate messaging?

Hi,
I have an iPad (wi-fi only) and an iPhone. They both share the same iTunes account so that apps / music are available on both devices but I currently have seperate iCloud accounts for them.
What i want to know though is..... is it possible to have them on the same iCloud account for syncing between devices but to have the messaging to still be seperate? i.e. i don't want to see messages sent to my iPhone on the iPad and vice versa.
Currently in the settings for iMessage the iPhone has it's iCloud e-mail address in there and the iPad has it's icloud e-mail address in there so if they are both on the same iCloud account does that mean i lose the ability to keep the messaging seperate? And if it doesn't how do i need to set things up so as to keep messaging seperate for each device?
I hope that all makes sense???
Thanks
David.

Yes, you can use the same iCloud and separate iMessage and FaceTime by using your second ID for these services.

Possible to start an additional iCloud account on a 2nd older iPad?

Greetings,
My family has several iPads. Originally they were all set up under my Apple account. I'd like to set up one of them to be under my wife's Apple account. I read where to do that I need to delete the iCloud account from that particular iPad and create a new one (for her).
My question is, if I delete the account from one iPad, will it affect the other iPads? Will that accont be deleted across all iPads? What are the repercussions for deleting the iCloud account on a single iPad in an environment where there are multiple computers, multiple iPads and multiple users?
Thank you,
Tim

Hello Jovi Guitarist,
If I understand correctly you are unable to use the password reset email that gets sent because you cannot identify the email address that one of the iPads is registered to, and you cannot reset the security questions because the date of birth is being rejected. At this point you may need to reach out to the Account Security team for additional assistance. Keep in mind you will need to verify the account information to receive support.
If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
If you can't reset your security questions
If you couldn't send a reset email, don't have a rescue email address, or can't access email at your rescue email address, contact Apple Support. Apple may ask you to generate a temporary support PIN to verify your identity. After you reset your security questions, you might want to update your rescue email address.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Is it possible to have a hidden iCloud account on a device?

So I have decided to buy a second hand or used iPhone 5 online. I fear of having it iCloud locked.
I mean, can the previous owner hide his iCloud account from the iPhone.
Or simply by seeing the iCloud account of the iPhone logged out means it's safe to perform hard reset or iTunes restore?
What else should I check before purchasing the iPhone?
Thank you!

Buying online is going to make it impossible to do any real, physical checks. Unless you have the phone in front of you, you cannot be sure you are getting what is advertised.
A dodgy seller can easily fake screenshots and then send you a locked phone.
Read "How do I check for Activation Lock before purchasing a used device?" in the article below:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5818
Also, insert a SIM card from the network you intend to use it on and make sure the network name appears top-left of the screen to show it isn't locked to a different network.
Personally, I would not risk buying without physically examining the phone.

Possible to merge separate Windows user account libraries into one?

Friend of mine has a work laptop with separate Windows accts on it - one for work, one personal. She has purchased music *with the same iTunes account*, but some songs are in the work account, some in the personal. Is it possible to rebuild the library in one account or the other to include the songs purchased on the other account? If so, how? Thanks

One method is if she has an iPod, she can plug the iPod into either library and iTunes will find the purchased tracks and ask if you want to transfer them into the current library.
Without an iPod, the files themselves can be copied out of either account's iTunes Music folder structure onto CDRs, USB thumb drive, or since it is on the same computer to a common shared folder. You can then add them to the other account's library. Since they are both authorized to the same account, they should play fine.

How can I have 2 icloud accounts on one computer?

My wife and I both have Iphones and only one computer. We were curious if it is possible to setup up two icloud accounts on the one computer? This would be so we can have the photostream setup up on the computer so we don't always have to sign in and out of the icloud application.

Setup 2 computer user accounts, then setup iCloud in each user account.

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 create 2 separate iCloud accounts

My whole office uses Iphones. Recently my boss shared his icloud calander with me, so I can be updated on his where abouts. Well I don't want them swwing all of my calander. I thought if I make another itunes account, I could create a seperate icloud account also for my own personal use. I looked on the iphone under settings for my icloud, I don't want to delete my current calander, which I need to see my boss's updates. I just want to use the new email address for icloud. Does anyone know how to do this since the email is all grayed out on my icloud?

Sorry Tzadii, I see my previous message was probably not the best suggestion. You said your boss shared his calendar with you. Sharing is a way to share the same calendar with more people ON DIFFERENT ICLOUD ACCOUNTS. You also sayd yopu boss RECENTLY shared .... how was it before ? Were you with 2 differrent accounts ? Better reading your message I understand that you have the same iCloud account. There is the problem, you are not sharing the calendars you use the same calendar and the same data and this should have been always the same.
For sure you need to setup a new iCloud account with a new AppleID.
Of course you wish to save the informations you have on your iPhone.
THe problem was already discussed and I found a message about the way to setup a new account and save your date on the iPhone. Here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4448941

How to share safari iCloud tabs using a secondary iCloud account?

I have 4 iOS devices in the family: an iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, ipad 2 and an ipad 3, all with the latest iOS software.
Each pair has its own separate primary icloud account. So, one phone shares a primary icloud account with one ipad, the other iPhone shares with the second ipad. That allows us to keep most things separated as necessary. However,. the are just 2 things I wanted to across across ALL 4 devices: Shared Safari Tabs, and Find iPhone. I wanted to be able to see what safari tabs are currently open on ALL these devices, FROM any device of these devices. I also wanted to be able to see the location of ALL 4 devices from any of these devices. To do this, I set us a second shared iCloud account on all 4 devices.
The new shared safari tabs feature works great with your main iCloud account on all devices you want to share this with....HOWEVER, it WILL NOT WORK AT ALL if you are trying to share tabs with a secondary iCloud account.
I set up a secondary shared family iCloud account on all 4 of our iOS devices by going to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Add Account... and selected iCloud as the account type, and created a new family account. After creating it, I was offered options to share various things with that account. I turned OFF every share option except Safari and Find iphone.
Turning ON the Safari sharing option generated a box telling me that Safari sharing will be turned OFF for main iCloud account, (which is fine), and asking if I want to save my current Safari data and roll it into the new iCloud account or delete it (I've tried it both ways). I then repeated this process on all 4 of our family iOS devices. The result is that Safari iCloud sharing actually stops working all together. The new "cloud" symbol that was at the top of the browser window on my iPads , next to the bookmarks button, has now disappeared. On my iPhones, the menu option for sharing safari tabs has disappeared. So, enabling Safari sharing in a secondary iCloud account DOES disable sharing in the primary account, but DOES NOT REALLY enable it in the secondary account, even though it SAYS it is enabled.
Apple's phone support is worthless on this issue. multiple calls to senior advisors, 3 times being told my issue was being referred to "engineering"....never a single followup call or email back EVER, after weeks. i am really tired of so-called senior advisors even telling me "Oh, you can't have more that one icloud account in a device", which is NOT true, see above for how I have added one.
What is really odd is that the one other thing i wanted to share across all 4 devices does work: the Find Iphone app. Again,, turning this on in the secondary iCloud account settings causes a warning that Find iPhone will be turned off for the primary iCloud account on that device, which is fine for me. I did it on all 4 devices, and now from any of them I can log into Find iPhone and see the location of all 4 devices, even though they use different primary iCloud accounts. Sharing this feature still works with the secondary account.
So why won't the Safari data share properly with the secondary account? if this feature isn't supported with a secondary account, why is it there as on option in the first place? What purpose does Safari sharing serve with a secondary account? NONE that I can find, aside from DISABLING sharing completely for the primary iCloud account.
If anyone has an idea of how to make this work, or what purpose the Safari sharing serves in a secondary icloud account, I'd love to know. Better yet, explain it to Apple because they are clueless.........

Sigh...it's gotten even worse with iOS7.
While iOS7 may be a big leap forwards in most respects, the "Find my iPhone" feature has taken a big step in reverse. This useful feature is NO LONGER AVAILABLE for use with secondary iCloud accounts, ONLY your PRIMARY account.
This may not be a huge concern for most users, because many (including most first-tier tech reps at Apple I've spoken to) seem to believe that you can only have one iCloud account on a device. NOT TRUE. While you can only have one PRIMARY account, you can add multiple additional iCloud EMAIL accounts (go to Settings/Mail, Contacts & Calendars/Add Account/iCloud). In the last iOS, once you created a new, secondary iCloud email address, you could activate many iCloud features for use with the new account, including Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, Safari Data (which never actually worked), and Find My iPhone. Under iOS7, however, Find My iPhone is no longer available. Instead, a small paragraph below the new iCloud email account setup screen says "Only your main account can use Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents & Data, Backup, and Find My iPhone."
Consider two cases where this is a huge problem.
1) We have a large number of company iOS devices that we need to keep track of.
2) Personally, I have an iPhone and iPad, and so does my wife. So do our kids!
In both the above cases, we created a secondary iCloud account, we'll call it "[email protected]", and added it as a secondary iCloud email address on ALL our iOS devices. In the setup screen we disabled everything EXCEPT "Find My iPhone". This account has a unique password, making it possible to see the location of ANY OR ALL the devices using the Find My iPhone App, WITHOUT having to share email, contacts, calendars, etc. among all these devices.
In our company, I can tract the location of any iOS device I gave to an employee, but his personal PRIMARY iCloud account is used to keep his mail, contacts, calendars, etc. secure. He shares this data between his iPhone and iPad, but NOT with everyone else. In my family, we all have our own primary iCloud accounts. I share mine between my iPhone and iPad; my wife and kids do the same. This allows us to keep our calendars, contacts, emails, etc. separated. But we all used the secondary iCloud email account ONLY with Find My iPhone. This allowed everyone in the family to see the location of everyone else, very nice in an emergency. Unlike the Find My Friends app, the device being located doesn't have to respond to a request to be found (very important when finding a lost or stolen device).
In both the above cases, we just log into the Find My iPhone APP on ANY iOS device, using the secondary iCloud account's email address and password (the email address is actually saved in the app, so you really only need to enter the password after the initial login). Viola! You can now see the location of any device that has that secondary iCloud account installed. And a person can still be untrackable if they wish, simply by turning off the Find My iPhone feature under the shared account's iCloud account settings on their device.
Alas, with iOS7 this is no longer possible. With the Find My iPhone feature only available for use with the device's PRIMARY iCloud account, there are only two ways to track another device:
1) Use the same primary iCloud account (which forces you to share other data and features you may not want to);
2) Log into the Find My iPhone APP with the PRIMARY iCloud email address and password of the person you want to track.
Either way, the person doing the tracking MUST have access to the PRIMARY iCloud credentials of the device they are tracking. This is a large security hole! Ask yourself: if you are a parent, do you really want your kids to have access to your primary iCloud account, including your mail, contacts, calendars, etc? Some people may not want their spouse to access that. In a company setting, do you want all your employees to be FORCED to share Documents & Data, Backup and Bookmarks, just to use the Find My iPhone feature? If they want to keep their mail, contacts, calendars, etc. separated from other employees, they will be forced to move these to a secondary iCloud account, which will no longer allow them to share Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents & Data or Backup. Why this ridiculous limitation?
The bottom line:Find My iPhone is now only useful for the primary iCloud account holder, and can no longer be used effectively between larger numbers of iOS devices, such as families or corporate institutions. This should be addressed in the next update to the iOS.

Is it possible to setup separate 2 iCloud accounts?
