Multiple Apple ID's and iCloud (purchased extra storage)

My mom and dad want different iCloud accounts (so the contacts etc are not merged) They have bought the extra 20GB of iCloud storage for my Mom's phone. Here's the setup and apple ID's... My question is how to split these and keep the extra iCloud storage on my mom's phone.
Dad's iPad ID: [email protected]
Mom's iPhone ID: [email protected]
iCloud extra storage ID: [email protected]
I want to change Mom's iPhone to: [email protected]
and change the extra iCloud storage to: [email protected]
I've already tried to change the ID of the iCloud but it will not let me because the email address for [email protected] is already used.
I hope this makes sense to someone!

Hey rich!
I'm taking a risk here and assuming that when you say "iPad ID" and "iPhone ID" you are referring to the iCloud ID on the mentioned device, right?
If so,
the extra storage was purchased with your dad's iCloud account and that's where it stays.
Dad's iCloud ID can stay on his iPad, along with his extra storage.
Go to Settings->iCloud and delete Dad's iCloud ID from Mom's phone.
Log in to iCloud on Mom's phone with Mom's iCloud ID.
(Does she already have this iCloud ID? If not, it may be taken by someone else and she would have to create a new one for her.)
You cannot move the extra storage to Mom's iCloud ID. MAYBE, just MAYBE iTunes can do it, but I seriously doubt it. Contact them for assistance. (apple.com/support/itunes and select Contact iTunes)
I don't fully understand the need to purchase extra storage for just one device. Now, if you had multiple iOS devices (like for your business), then I can see it. I back up a 32g iPad and a 16g phone using less than half of 1G of my iCloud storage.
Good luck

HT5625 multiple apple id's and icloud has one saved that i didn't set up... but it is my email i use daily, but my apple id pass wont email or work

I have an iphone 4 and have just installed the new ios. so my apple id for "icloud" is my email with gmail, but i can't remember my password for that apple id. I have requested it to be reset but it hasn't emailed me anything to reset it. It says to check one of my old email accounts (school email address), but when i check it I don't have any new emails from apple there either...? My itunes apple id on my phone (different apple id) does work and that is the one i'm using to post this request for help. I can't even delete the apple id that my phone says is my "icloud" apple id because that also requires that i know the password for id that i didn't even set up (gmail email address). i did link my gmail email address to my apple id a while back, but now it has come back to haunt me. anyone know anything about how to consolidate these id's and make just one? i need help! i can't use icloud at all until this is resolved... thanks for any help that you can provide!

Simply update your old AppleID.

Multiple Apple ID's and app purchases

Hi all,
I have an Apple ID that I have used to purchase apps for my Ipad and existing Ipod Touch over the last couple of years. Our son received an Ipod Touch for Christmas and we set him up with his own Apple ID and an associated gift card balance he got as a gift. There are a few apps that I purchased on my Ipad that he would like to have on his new Ipod. Is there a way to get those apps on to his Ipod Touch or do we have to buy them again just for his Ipod?
Could I log into his new Ipod Touch with my Apple ID and install these old purchases? If I did that, would I be able to log him back into his own Apple ID after that?
Going forward, is there anyway for me to rectify this so all of our devices can be tied to a master Apple ID for iTunes purchases across devices?

Multiple Apple ID's and syncing problem

I have two apple ID's (by mistake). Since rebuilding my harddrive and reloading my OS, I try to sync my Iphone I get the message "this iphone is synced with another apple ID. Merge or Replace" -- but it's unclear WHICH account will be used to replace? And merging already duplicated all my contacts once. Help!?

What is the best way for a family to set up apple ID's and icloud?

My partner and I have separate apple id's and own a mac book, ipad, 2 iphones and apple tv. What's the best way to set it all up so we can access everything on each device? Can we merge our ID's into one and transfer all our payments? We just registered for icloud and used a new shared email address, but still have our separate apple ID's. We have separate email addresses, calendars and notes that we would prefer to keep separate. It's really just our itunes purchases, music and photos that we want to be able to share. Thanks in advance! Cheers, Nicky

They will be able to download everything that was bought with their Apple ID. If they all shared an ID then they switched to their own ID they won't be able to use any apps or music bought with another Apple ID. As I explained in my previous response. There is only one way to share apps and content across multiple Apple ID's and that is home share. So, NO there isn't a "Smooth" way to do it.

HT201318 Need help with being double charged on my icloud account when purchasing extra storage for my ipad

Need help with being double charged on my icloud account when purchasing extra storage for my ipad?

I had this same problem on my 4S. I fixed it by restoring the phone to factory defaults. Previously, I had taken the additional step of restoring from backup but, as soon as I did, the problem returned. The fix is a hassle as I now have to reinstall my apps but at least I can manage mail on the phone.
The problem also occurred on my iPad2 but I'm not restoring it as it's a serious hassle (see above) and I don't actually read much mail on the device.
As a side note, I noticed incredibly high load averages (5+ processes for 1, 5, and 15 minutes; 12+ for 1 and 5 minutes at one point) as well as CPU usage that didn't drop below 15% (apparently all user processes, system seemed to be about normal). As could be expected, this also lead to incredibly rapid battery depletion.
I can't tell what processes were hogging the CPU as neither of my devices are jailbroken and Apple doesn't seem to like 'top' much.

I have started getting spammed on multiple Apple products (iPhone and iPad) with FaceTime calls since the recent IOS update. Is there any feature or sedtting I can use locally to restrict incoming calls to FaceTime without going to the carrier?

After calling AT&T tech support one more time, and explaining to them that the glitch was on their network, they admitted that the problem was at their tower...
I continued to use the phone on EDGE mode for two more days until the problem was fixed.
I even got a call back from a tech support guy asking me if my phone was working properly....
I wish they would have admitted to the problem before I sat at the apple store for 2 hours.

- Is the app compatible with model iPod and iOS?
- Have you tried downloading the app directly to your iPod? If y are logged into the same itunes account that purchased the app the first time you will not be charged again.

Two apple ID's, one has purchased additional storage

I have two apple ID's--one on my iPhone and one on my iPad. I only want ONE. I realize they can't be combined. I have bought storage on my iPad that NOTHING has been synced to, it needs to be purchased on my iPhone instead. I want to have just ONE apple ID and ONE purchased storage using my iPhone ID. I don't want to lose anything!

Hello charlon06
It all depends on how you use your Apple ID’s You can use your Apple ID for iCloud and have you data synced that way and then the family account for just purchases. Check out the articles below on how to either manage having multiple Apple ID’s and associating them to devices.

Thank you for reply Roger it is now that we are in iCloud drive have discussed with local help and I think it may be seen as petty by users of Apple products.

I have purchased extra storage but still storage not available

I have purchased extra storage but I still do not have enough space

I did not know this. How do I get extra storage on my device?
By deleting or syncing data off of it to free up space.

I just purchased extra storage for my iCloud. How and where do I access it? I purchased movies and audio books to find out that I didn't have enough storage (the reason for the extra storage purchase). I have no idea where to find them now. Help?!

How do I use my iCloud???
I purchased 4 movies and 2 audio books from iTunes only to find out my iPad2 didn't have enough storage, so I purchased more storage from iCloud.
My iTunes account only shows the 4 movies that need to still be downloaded (not the two books) After purchasing 20GB from iCloud I am still receiving the "There is not enough available storage. You can manage your storage in Settings" message. I have gone to my Settings, where it shows I have the new, extra storage. I have set all the iCloud settings as shown on the Apple website. In my iCloud settings, it shows I have 17GB available out of 25GB. In my General settings, it shows that I have a capacity of 28.6 GB, while my Available is 2.9GB. (????)
I don't know why I still can't download the movies. I wouldn't know where to go (how to get to) the iCloud if I could...
Also, iTunes has sent me receipts for the movies and audio books I purchased as well. Where are they???
Thank you SO very much for any assistance you can offer me!

Cancel your storage upgrade
If you upgrade or renew your storage but no longer need it, you can cancel. If you cancel your storage plan within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment, you can contact Apple for a full refund. After this period, you can downgrade your storage for the following year.
Note: Partial refunds are available where required by law.

Since I purchased about $70 worth of movies and books and they won't load onto my iPad, do you think iTunes will refund my money?
If you make more room on your Device perhaps you can View/ use the purchases...
However if you would prefer a Refund... you can always ask... be sure to explain your situation...

Help?! I use multiple Apple ID's to download purchases to my phone and am having trouble getting purchases from them all?!

Hi,
This situation has been causing me much stress and frustration for about a week now and I really hope I can get help here.
I got my first iPhone 5 this past June and synced purchases from my mom's computer to my phone and was able to use my own Apple ID to purchase music to my phone just fine. Everything was fine with having purchases from my Apple ID and from my mom's Apple ID on my phone until I recently got my new HP 2000 laptop with Windows 8 and set up an iTunes library under my own Apple ID. Before setting up iTunes on my computer, I cleared out my music library (containing songs purchased from my Apple ID and my mom's) due to an issue with my playlists. I re-synced my phone with my music on my computer and ran into a problem: I had to delete apps and tones bought with my mom's Apple ID. Not caring or thinking I let it delete the few apps and tones I synced from my mom's library. I got all my songs back on my phone and fixed the playlist issue. Everything was good, but I have songs and other purchases on my mom's account that I want on my phone. I read that I can't sync with two libraries though, which is a bummer. So, I decided to just sign in to her account on my phone and re-download purchases right from there. Well, when I tried I got a warning that stated, "this device is already associated with another Apple ID" and it tells me if I want to transfer purchases from her account, I'll have to wait 90 days if I want to re-download purchases from other Apple ID's? What does that mean? Is there away around all this so I can get purchases from other accounts on my phone without running into that warning? Will I be able to get the purchases to my phone at all?
I apologize if this is confusing, I'd be more than happy to provide any further clarification to those willing to help me. All replies are very much appreciated. Thank you to those who can help in advance!

Have you tried signing out and then back in?
