Multiple iCloud accounts on one Apple/iTunes account??

I'm still learning this iCloud thing. My husband and I each have iPhone and iPads. Our son also has an iPhone. Question is this: can we each have our own iCloud account but all use the one/original Apple/iTunes account? My husband set up his iPhone last night and I got a message on both my iPhone and iPad that he is using it for iMessages and FaceTime. I know this sounds confusing...you see why I need help!
Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes, many families do this.
You can each use your own Apple ID's for iCloud, FaceTime and Messages, but all share the same one for iTunes.

Each person needs to have their own separate Apple ID along with their own separate computer user account and iTunes Library.

Multiple icloud accounts on one Apple ID account? please help!

My brother and I both use the same itunes account as our mom. Its frustrating because we both have all of her information on our devices, and now, my emails are all being sent from her account. when i use the @me account i was given after installing icloud, it shows that it is in her name. How can i make my own icloud account, which will allow me to have my own email, and to keep my information separate?

Multiple "publisher" names on one apple developer account?

Hi, I would like to purchase whatever apple account you need to submit apps to the app store. However, some will be games that I will be working on with some other people, and some will be utilities developed by myself. I want to be able to submit these apps under different publishers, is this is simple as changing the company name when I make the project in xcode? Sorry, I have yet to submit anything to the app store so I don't really know how this works

If the other people want their names on their apps in the store, they should have their own accounts.
The company name in Xcode for each project has nothing to do with the finished app in the store.

HT204053 We have two iphones and an ipad in the house, how can we acess our one existing itunes account without having everything the same on both phones. for example, keeping contacts and apps separate.

When you have three i devices on one apple itunes account, how can you keep specific data, music and apps separated for each device?

Multiple iCloud accounts with one Apple ID?

We have 4 iOS devices in our household (2 iPhones, 2 iPads). We share the same Apple ID. Can we have more than 1 iCloud account with one Apple ID?
We do not want to share our Calendars and Reminders.
Thanks!

Set up your mac.com account again on devices. Turn off Mail and other data syncing with this account on your wife's devices for data that you want to keep separate. Then set up a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your wife's devices to sync Mail.
If you already set up a separate iCloud account on your wife's devices, on her devices go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in your your mac.com ID. Turn on the data you want to share with this account across all devices; don't turn Mail on. Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter her separate iCloud credentials and turn Mail to On.
The only downside to this approach is that her email will be fetch, not push email. Push email is only supported in the main ("primary") account, not a secondary account.
The limitations to be aware of with secondary accounts are that only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My Device. Also, push mail only works for the primary account; secondary account mail is fetch.

HT1349 I have two Apple itunes accounts and I want to merge them in to one.

I have two Apple itunes accounts and I want to merge them in to one. How do I do this.

You cannot merge Apple ID's. Copied from Apple's FAQ about Apple ID's.
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

How do I separate my daughters devices from my icloud but use the same apple itunes account?

How can I separate my daughters icloud account but keep the same apple itunes account?

To migrate her device to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos she keep to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If she is syncing any notes with iCloud that she wants to keep on her device, you'll need to open each of them and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your devices won't be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload her data. (If she has multiple devices, she can go through this same process on the others, but choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted as the data has now already been migrated to the new account.)
Once you are both on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account if you need to.
You can continue to share the same iTunes ID. The ID used for iCloud does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes.

Whenever you use your Apple ID to sign into iCloud it's always the same account so to speak.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You won't be able to purchase and rent from both accounts on the Apple TV, but assuming you use the same ID and password for homesharing (not iTunes) and each have your own libraries, the Apple TV can stream content from either library.

HT4859 How do I keep one Apple ID account for the family, yet have different iCloud accounts for calendar, email, etc.??

How do I keep one Apple ID account for the family, yet have different iCloud accounts for calendar, email, etc.??

First decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the others, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Once all your devices have their on iCloud accounts, to un-merge the data you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your son's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
You should also use separate Apple IDs for services such as iMessage and FaceTime. Otherwise, you're likely to end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls. If you need to change these, for iMessage go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID (such as the one just created for iCloud). For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

Multiple Game Center accounts in one Apple ID

Is it possible to have more than one Game Center account under one Apple ID? My wife and I share an ID, but want different accounts so that we can play each other. It must have been possible because we were somehow doing that before IOS 6. If I log on using the apple ID I am in my wife's account and I can see me there as a friend, so the account is there. I just can't access it. I really want to challenge people, with the Game Center update! Please help.
