Multiple iCloud accounts, single iOS device.

I have one Apple ID, and only one iOS device - a 4th generation iPod touch. Can I setup multiple iCloud accounts? If so, how?

You can create a maximum of three iCloud accounts on each device.  You can create two additional "secondary accounts" by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and sign in with two new Apple IDs.
Secondary accounts will only sync mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.  The can't be used for be used for iCloud Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents and Data, iCloud Backup or Find My iPod.  Also, mail in secondary accounts will be fetch only, not push.

  • HT4436 can I have multiple icloud accounts on one device

    can I have multiple icoud accounts on one device (ipad)?

    Are you sure only primary account can use Find my iPhone?
    I added a secondary account to my daughters iphone and was able to use it for Find my iPhone.
    It warns you that the Find my iphone service will be disabled on the other icloud account.
    I think this is a good change so I can use a single account to track all the devices.
    Looks like only photostream and documents/data are tied to the primary account.

  • Multiple iCloud accounts on same device

    With multiple MobileMe accounts (on the same device), only the 'primary' account would 'push' email. The other accounts would need to manually fetch the email.
    Has this changed with iCloud? If you set up multiple iCloud accounts, will they all have email 'pushed'?
    What about Contacts and Calendars? Will changes get 'pushed' to all accounts or just the primary account?
    If Contacts and Calendar changes are not pushed, how can a device be updated with the latest info? With email, there is usually a 'Get mail' button or at least you can set a schedule so messages will get fetched, but there's no such facility for Contacts and Calendars. So if there's no push, how can they keep in sync?
    I'm hoping that even if email push only works for the primary account, it WILL work for Contacts and Calendars, even on the other 'secondary' iCloud accounts. Can anyone confirm this either way?

    Updating this myself as I have some more information.
    The secondary iCloud accounts seem to get mail pushed to them, even on iOS devices which suggests that iOS 5 now does indeed support IMAP IDLE as I cannot see how this would occur otherwise.
    However, an odd thing has occured on the Mac. A day after setting up the 3 iCLoud accounts, during which time it has all worked perfectly well, this morning OSX has modified all the accounts, all by itself. It has self-created 3 MobileMe accounts, named the same as the iCloud accounts were and those have now all been renamed 'iCloud'. The iCloud accounts now have Mail turned OFF and the new MobileMe accounts have that turned ON. IOW, the new MobileMe accounts have taken over the email duties.
    There's 2 oddities about this, well more than 2 really.
    Why create these new 'email only' accounts as type MobileMe which will soon be entirely defunct?
    Why would it do this at all? Why not just leave the 3 x iCloud accounts, as they were?
    How has it done this all by itself? Shouldn't such account creation be a manual process by the user?
    It doesn't seem to have affected the functionality, but I am at a complete loss as to what is going on here. So if anyone can shed some light on it I'd be grateful.

  • Can i use multiple icloud accounts on 1 device

    Can I use multiple icloud email accounts on one device?

    Yes, you could have multiple iCloud accounts for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari, Notes, and Find My iPhone, but only one primary iCloud account for Photo Stream, Documents & Data, and Storage & Backup.

  • HT204053 Multiple iCloud accounts on one device?

    I am trying to help my school teacher wife to set up her iCloud account, can you have more than one iCloud account setup on one device? For example she needs one account for her school work, and would like one account for personal.

    Yes, with certain caveats:

  • Different iCloud accounts per iOS Device?

    I have an iPad Mini and an iPad Touch. Both sync on my home iTunes but only one brings in my music & audiobook collection, and I use Notes extensively while the other brings in video and iBooks.  They share most of my apps.
    As you can see they really serve different purposes for me.  I've set the iPad Mini up with iCloud, but really I think the iPod Touch has more to lose (I have a large backlog of notes and doesn't appear to back up on my PC; everything must be emailed. Basically I'm cooked if this thing breaks). 
    While iTunes maintains these as needed (aside from iPod Notes), what about iCloud?  If I used the same Apple ID to set up iPod Touch will its integrity be respected or will there be some corrupting mashup of content between it and the iPad Mini? To be honest if there were a question of which device SHOULD get the added backup of iCloud, it wouldn't be the one I used to set it up.
    I should add that the Email account on both is not what I used for an Apple ID login, so I wouldn't appreciate texts co-spamming the login email.
    Thanks for your feedback and advice!

    Sorry is this question too challenging?

  • Display reminders from multiple iCloud accounts on iPhone iOS 8

    I have two iCloud accounts, one is my main account I use for everything and the other is a joint iCloud account I use with my partner to keep mail and reminders synched between us and we both sign into it. The second account signed in to on all my devices and I only sync the mail and reminders, enabled through settings.
    My OS X Yosemite reminders app shows two separate iCloud accounts with their respective lists under them. The same applies to my iPad with iOS 8. This is not the case with my iPhone however. It will only show reminders from my primary iCloud account. Enabling reminders from the settings page for the secondary account does not make them appear. 
    Can anyone help?

    Hey kayteekay,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds you want to know if it's possible to set up multiple iCloud accounts on an iPhone 6. It is possible, just take a look at the article linked below which provides a lot of great configuration information.

  • HT201365 Find My iPhone no longer works for me to know where my wife and children's phones are. In earlier IOS versions, I added my iCloud account to their devices and only had Find My iPhone function active.  Can't do that now; what do I do?

    Before IOS 7, I created an account on my wife and childrens iPhones, iPads and iPod devices with my iCloud account, only having the Find My iPhone function turned on.  It worked great.  Now, with IOS 7, it is not working and I don't have the option to have the Find My iPhone function on my iCloud account on their devices.  Does anyone know how to make this work?  My family loses their devices frequently and I am concerned I won'e be able to help them find them.  Thanks!!

    They only need their main iCloud account to have Find My iPhone on. If your account is not their main account it won't work. Only one account can enable that function on a device. They don't need to have the app on their devices unless you want them to find you.
    If you can see the devices when you log into their accounts on your Find My iPhone app they are being recognized by the app. But as Winston said if they're not turned on, if they are not on a network, cell or wifi, then they will read as offline. This often happens when I look for my wife's phone when she is at work, her wifi system there does not keep the connection active when the device goes to sleep and in some areas of the building there is poor to no cell connection. And sometimes the service just doesn't pick them up for no obvious reason.
    iOS 7 has several annoying glitches right now that hopefully will be resolved soon and this could be one for you. I would try this again by having all the devices in one location , restart all of them, make certain the function is enabled on all of them and that wifi is connected ( if you have a wifi network available ) or that they are connected to a cell network with a strong signal. Then launch the app on your phone and log in with their accounts, their locations should show up.

  • How can I use multiple icloud Accounts with Fotos?

    Hello.
    Yesterday, my wife and I started using the new App "Fotos" on OSX and iOS.
    What I can't figure out, and where I would like to get some insight and help, is how we should use our icloud Accounts.
    How it is right now:
    - Wife (MacBook and iPhone)
    Has her own icloud-Account ([email protected]) for Backup (iOS) and Fotosync, Keychainsync, Bookmarks. 20GB iCloud-Account (18GB free).
    - Husband (MacBook, Mac Mini and iPhone and iPad)
    Has his own icloud-Account ([email protected]) for Backup (iOS) and Fotosync, Keychainsync, Bookmarks. 20GB iCloud Account (10 GB free).
    - Husband has about 400 GB of Photos from over 10 Years on Mac Mini
    How I want it to be:
    - Husband
    upgrades to at least the 500GB Account, to use for all 400GB of Photos and Backup, Keychainsync, Bookmarks.
    - Wife
    Has her own Account ([email protected]) for Keychain and Bookmark, but uses [email protected] on MacBook and iPhone for Backup an Fotosync, so that all Photos are stored in a single one family "container". All Photos in one Place without being able to forget to put them there.
    I don't see, how I can accomplish that, since only one "real" icloud account seems to be possible in iOS, so that if i put my account in her iPhone I would get the Photo and Backup I want, but she would not be able to sync her own bookmarks an keychain any more.
    Any thought on how to resolve this?
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks for your ideas,
    thomas

  • Multiple iCloud account on a Mac?!

    Hi and tnxs for reading.
    I notice there is a post with the same subject but the core is different.
    I just got an iOS device for mu job with a personal (company related) apple id and iCloud mail account.
    I got my new personal apple.id and pwd.
    I would like to access this email account via my Mac as-well. For this reason I added this iCloud on my Mac by using Add Account on Mail.
    After having inserted my new applied and pwd I got it verified, however the Mail box for this account is not ticked. If I tick it I am prompted to write an iCloud account name @iCloud.com , with the warning that when created it cannot be modified. At this point I stopped the process.
    Is there a way to have multiple  iCloud account on my Mail??
    Many tnxs.

    The secondary account data I am entering is correct: it is verified during the process and accepted.
    Contact, Calendar and Reminders are ticked activated.
    Mail is not activated. By manually ticking Mail box I get the msg "Choose an iCloud mail name".
    I am attaching both screenshots.
    Tnxs.

  • Multiple iCloud accounts on iPhone 6?

    I am trying to determine if it is possible to have more than one iCloud account on iOS. I have multiple accounts on my MacBook Pro, but haven't been able to figure it out on my iPhone.
    What I want to be able to do is have both a personal and work iCloud account on my phone and only the work iCloud on my MBP. I am using the iCloud accounts mainly for reminders and calendars -- I want my work reminders on both devices and my personal reminders only on my phone.
    In the meantime, as a workaround, I have shared my work reminders with my personal iCloud, but I would rather have two separate accounts on my iPhone.
    Can anyone offer some insight?

  • 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.

  • How do i set up multiple iCloud accounts on the same mac?

    how do i set up multiple iCloud accounts on the same mac?

    Interesting - I was sure I'd seen a note somewhere that it was only Mail, but this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020
    does say
    Your secondary iCloud accounts can be set up and viewed in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on your iOS device, or Apple () menu > System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on OS X Lion. You may choose to do this if you have a second iCloud account and need to access its Mail, Contacts, or Calendar data. 
    Note: While you can configure multiple iCloud Mail accounts in iOS, Push mail will only work for the primary iCloud account in iOS. Secondary account(s) will check for mail based on the settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data.
    It's not something I can test - I suppose the second account's data gets added to the lists in iCal and Address Book?

  • Back to My Mac and multiple iCloud accounts

    I have an iMac at home and a Macbook I travel with.  Previously I had just one mobileme account, and BTMM has worked like a champ.  I now have multiple iCloud accounts in my household, as my wife mostly uses the iMac and I have the macbook.  I very much enjoy the seemless sharing of iCal calendars and the syncing of email accounts over multiple macs and mobile devices.  Trouble is to make BTMM work you have to enter preferences-->iCloud and log both computers into the same iCould account.  Surely apple must have forseen this sort of problem.  I as an indivdual if you have TWO computers and no one else uses them, it's no big deal to have everything on one iCloud account.  But with multiple users, with multiple email accounts, that's just not realistic.  I thought I may have found the work around when going to System Prefs-->Users & Groups-->and adding multilple Apple User IDs, but that doesn't work.
    Any one else frustrated with this?  Similar issues with Photo Stream, it would be nice to view other photo streams.  Anybody got any ideas?  Other than logging out of my iCloud account when away....getting all the warnings about deleting stuff off my mac with regard to iCloud..... and logging into my wifes iCloud account?
    thanks

    I share this frustration. Over last weekend I needed to leave my computer at home while we went across the country to visit family. I found out there I needed to access my computer and finish an item before I was to return. We brought my wife's MBAir with us just in case, and good thing too. Either way, I was required to sign out of iCloud for her, then sign in as myself. This deleted all her iCloud contacts, calendar, mail, etc. Then it had to reload mine, then when finished i had to do that process all over again for her account. It would seem a quite simple task to allow multiple iCloud accounts to view a set of computers set to any of the iCloud Apple ID's. There is a function similar to this on my TimeCapsule. I can put both of our AppleID accounts onto that device and both of us can see our TimeCapsule and all attached storage while away from home (brilliant by the way), great for accessing movies I have stored on the TimeCapsule. Any results on how to make this work? Thanks
