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.

How to create 2 icloud accounts with one apple id

I would like to find out how to create 2 iCloud accounts using the same apple id. Currently, my husband's iphone4S and my iPhone 4 have merged contacts which we don't want, and when he texts it shows that it is from me.

You can't do that. One of you will have to create a new icloud account with a new ID and connect the device to it.
TO GET DATA FROM ONE ACCOUNT TO A NEW ACCOUNT:
When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.
When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.
After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account.
Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc. Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there. These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
NOTE: Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account. It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch.
CREATING A NEW ID:
Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want. But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to

How to Configure iCloud with multiple iCloud accounts and one apple id

I need some help from the icloud experts. I almost have my arms around this, but not completely.
What I want to end up with is the following:
One account that both my wife and I use for shared contacts, calendars, photostream and find my device.
Separate account for my email among several devices.
Separate account for my wife for her email among several devices.
Now what I curently have is an apple id (*.mac.com), which is the main account used for purchases, etc. It has my mail, backups, and 25GB of space as a result from MobileMe.
I created a separate icloud account for my wife, using her Apple ID, so that her mail stayed separate from mine. However, now we have separate photo streams, contacts, etc, which is getting confusing and cumbersome.
I would like to keep my apple id as the main account since it already has the 25GB of space. So tell me if the following make sense.
I setup the master account using my apple id (the one with 25GB of space) for both of us, and enable the contacts and calendar syncing for all of our devices.
I turn the mail and Safari bookmarks syncing on for my devices; but turn it off for my wife's devices.
Then I use my wife's account on her devices to sync her mail, bookmarks, etc.
Would this work or is there another combination to use? Ideally a family oriented apple id would be good for the master account, but it wouldn't have the 25GB of space unless I purchased it. I'm trying to get around that if possible. I have tried to find something like this on the discussion boards but haven't had luck yet.
Thanks in advance for any help.

HT204053 can I have multiple icloud accounts for one apple id?

I have multiple people in my family using our original apple id . As they have gotten iphones, macbooks, etc they register there devices under our originale apple id. over the holidays when my youngest child got her ipod touch and registered it for icloud, two of the children now are seeing each others texts? Is there a way to use the same apple id for the family and have seperate icloud accounts for each person or should we have a seperate apple id for each person?

Yes but the issue with receiving each other's text messages is not being caused by sharing the same iCloud account. To fix this, each person needs to be using a separate Apple ID for iMessage on their devices. (Note: you can continue to use the same iTunes account on all your devices but each person should use a different ID for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime). There are a couple of things you need to do to sort all this out.
First decide who will be keeping the current ID for all services. On the device(s) belonging to the other people in your family, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in with a saparate ID for each person. After doing so you will no longer be getting each other's messages on your devices.
Next, to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
For iCloud, to avoid having merged data by syncing with the same iCloud account you will need to migrate each person to their own iCloud account. To do this, first decide who will be keeping the current account. On the other devices go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from the device, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the current account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My [iDevice]. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID on the device(s) belonging to each person. 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.
Finally, to un-merge the data in your iCloud accounts you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

HT204053 multiple icloud accounts on one apple id

I have my two boys connected to my Itunes account and Apple ID. Is there a way that they can have their own icloud accounts so that everything on their phone is not mixed up with what is on my phone?

An Apple ID is an account, accounts cannot be related. You can however all share an ID for iTunes and use separate ID's for iCloud. This lets you share music, movies, apps, books etc but keep your calendars, contacts etc separate.

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?

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.

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!

How do I set up multiple iCloud accounts on one Apple ID?

My whole family uses the same Apple ID, but we all want separate iCloud accounts, because I keep on getting contacts from my children's iPhones and iPads. They want accounts between their iPads and iPhones, but I want a separate iCloud. How do they set up a new iCloud on their devices (they don't have Macs)?

Welcome to the Apple community.
An apple ID is an account. If your family require that their contacts, calendars etc are separate from each other, they all need their own Apple ID (account).
iCloud is a different service from iTunes, you can all use different Apple IDs for your iCloud service, would use the same ID for iTunes, thereby being able to share your music, apps, books, TV shows and movies et cetera.

Multiple iCloud accounts on one Apple TV2

Hi together
I activated iCloud on my Apple TV2. Now i have access to all my songs without having to run my mac. My girlfriend has her own iTunes/iCloud Account. How can I switch to her account on the Apple TV2? Is it really necessary to go into settings and so on? Same for switching back to my account? This is not very elegant.
Isn't it possible to activate both accounts simultaneously?
Thanks for your help!

No it's not possible to run two accounts at once.

HT4137 iCloud setup with one Apple ID and multiple devices

iCloud setup with one Apple ID and multiple devices

What, exactly, are you trying to do? You can use the same iCloud account on as many devices as you want, as long as you don't turn on iTunes Match. Once you turn on Match, you're limited to 10 devices total.
Is this what you want to do...same iCloud account, but different iTunes/App store accounts on each device? If so, you can do that also.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, your ID is essentially your account. You can have email aliases and you can have multiple accounts, but I don't think that's what you are asking.

HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'. When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone' Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted. This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.
