Multiple icloud accouts on one device

Me and my wife share the same iPad.
How does it work to use two separate iCloude account on the same iPad?
For now I have converted my wifes MobileMe to iCloud and when I try to activate sync the Calender I get the question ”Merge Calenders - Your calenders will be merged with iCloud”. But the calenders on the iPad are mine MobileMe-accout. I just want them to co-work like, for exampel MobileMe and Exchange accounts do.
Thanks for any info / Jerker

as iOS is a single user system, and icloud also focusses on syncing across all devices that are your own property, this scenario is a no go. icloud syncs all or nothing. You can't say I want Jim's contacts and only some of Jane's..
Only on a Mac or PC - with seperate user account, so each user sets up his/her icloud info.

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, 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.

How do i creating multiple icloud accounts for one itunes account

how do i creating multiple icloud accounts to access one itunes account?

Perhaps you could explain a bit more what you want to do...
iCloud accounts don't access an iTunes account.
iTunes account is used to make purchases.

How do I sign out of iCloud just on one device? And will deleting my account on iCloud completely delete the account or just on this one device?

I am sharing an iCloud account and I want to sign out of iCloud! But when I go to settings and my iCloud account the account name is ge
Grey as If I can't change it.

That means the Restriction is set that prevents changing accounts. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and unset it so you can delete the account.
Deleting the account for one device does not effect the account on other devices.

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.

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 do you have multiple account apps on one device

I have an iPod touch gen 2 and it's set up on my parents computer. I want to be able to sync apps from there accounts and my account on the one device. When I do it, it asks me to authorize it on the computer. I do it and it copies the apps on to there computer. When I'm done they delete the apps from the computer. When I sync again it deletes the apps. How do I do it?

From the "iPod: Frequently Asked Questions" document found here...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60920
Question: Can I update more than one iPod with my computer?
Answer: Yes. Each iPod communicates a unique device identification number to your computer, allowing you to take advantage of automatic music transfers to your iPod even if you share a computer with another iPod user. You can choose to automatically update your entire music collection on multiple iPod players or choose to update selected playlists, allowing you to transfer custom playlists to individual iPod players.

TS3988 Can I have two iCloud accounts on one device? / Paul

Can I have two iCloud accounts on one IPad?

Yes, you can add a second ("secondary") iCloud to a device as mendi1 stated. There are some limitations with secondary iCloud accounts. Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, syncing Bookmarks and Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My iDevice. Also push email only works in the primary account; only fetch mail is supported in a secondary account. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020.

Multiple apple IDs on one device

Can i use more than one apple id on one device, though not simultaneously. I have an office apple id which has my corporate card linked, and a personal id with my personal card linked. can these two be used on one device of course one at a time.
thank you for help with this information.

Note though, that as far as the iTunes or App store is concerned, you can only change the AppleID once every 90 days, see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627

Can you have 2 iCloud accounts on one device, i would like to share photo stream with my wife but not calendar, contacts

How do you setup 2 icloud accounts on one phone. I would like to do that to separate contacts/calendars from photo stream. I have a shared photo library that i would like to be able to access from each phone. How do you do it?
Thanks.

I don't think there is a method cause when you have 2 iCloud account you double the memory given by them (5gb) and if you want more memory you have to pay so I don't think apple might have a loop in that :p bu if you want to share pics then you can always use luthoot enabled apps

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.
