Multiple ipads with icloud accounts share itunes match

Hi,
I've got some iPad / iPhones here in the family which have differend iCloud accounts.
I can't really combine these, as all the members have differend agenda's, email etc.
We always bought music on a family account. Worked just fine with syncing.
Now I've bought iTunes Match, for Apple TV it works, for the macbooks it works, but for the ipad's and iphones I can't seem to enter my family-account into the iCloud details to get it working.
How can I let the ipad/iphones work with iTunes Match, without losing the seperate agenda's, mail, etc.?

Your iCloud account is a separate account to your iTunes store account, just make sure the iTunes account ID you use for the iTunes store is entered correctly in settings > store.

Request iBooks sync with iCloud account not iTunes accounts

In my family there are five of us. We all have some form of an Apples product (iTouch, iPads, iPhones). We share the same iTunes account but have individual iCloud accounts. The issue we have with ibooks is the syncing. Having iBooks sync with iCloud account instead of the iTunes account will solve some of the issues that we are having. me and my wife both have iPhones and iPads, the kids have iTouches and iPad. Unfortunately when one individual change something it will change on the rest of the devices.

That seems simple enough but that's not what I am trying to accomplish.
Here is the breakdown...
I have a family of four.
We all have iPad, iPhone and a MacBook or iMac.
Like to read the same books (from time to time). We also like to take our own notes.
The issue...
Syncing bookmarks and collections and notes between each member of the family personal devices.
This is why I made this post to request for apple/developers to have iBooks sync with iCloud accounts instead of iTunes accounts.
I have tried every avenue that I can think of to make this request for change since iBooks syncing has been released.

I suddenly am not getting my email, contacts, and music apps to operate. I think it may have something to do with my recent iCloud account and iTunes Match. I've read and tried most of the help suggestions that have not helped. Any suggestions?

My mail, music, and contacts apps suddenly disappeared and apps appear frozen. It happened right during my upload of music to iCloud, which may just be coincidental or part of the problem. Any ideas or suggestions?

I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more. I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

Can I share itune match on separate iCloud accounts my wife just got iPhone

Can I share itune match on separate iCloud accounts my wife just got iPhone

Yes. iTunes Match is tied to the Apple ID you have set for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores. You can share your ID for purchasing, and thus iTunes Match, and still maintain separate iCloud accounts using a different ID on one or both phones. The ID you use for purchasing does not need to be the same as the one used for other services such as iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc.

I have a school ipad with iCloud using a different ID (my school email address) . I am leaving and want to buy my own ipad and transfer all my data and docs to my personal iCloud account but don't know how to do this without deleting all data and photos?

Heya Katie!!
So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!!

Hello, can i share itunes match with the other members of my family?

Hello, can i share itunes match with the other members of my family?

No, sharing match is not included in the family share. The only way is to use the same Apple id on all devices but this may present problems if your family members have their own Apple id.

2 mac user accounts, 2 itunes match accounts, 1 mac

I have a mac that I share by two seperate logins. I was using itunes match fine in my login. My gf signed up for itunes match and associated under itunes with in her own login, totally seperate itunes libary etc. Now I had issus with match not working so logged out of itunes match and back in with the same id and I am told
This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 79 days
Am I really facing a situation where we can't have two itunes match accounts on the same hardware even with totally differnt log ins and apple ids?

This still seems to lead to the suggestion that a piece of mac hardware can not have multiple itunes account, could be time to ask for a refund.
This is exactly the case. Because iTunes Match is associated with one and only one iTunes Store account ID the same computer hardware can not be associated with two instances of iTunes Match. Just as the same iDevice hardware can not be associated with more than one iTunes Store account at a time.

i clicked the download all button at the end of the list of my library iTunes which i believe is in the iCloud, i have iTunes match also, many downloads were reported as occurring over several hours and then received the warning startup disc is full (activity monitor shows 3.99 of 4 GB used) and then another stating the download had not occurred due to the disc being full. most of the tunes still appear to be in the cloud but the disc is said to be full, spent a good period of time trying to investigate what has happened but failed...I'm not well up on all of this as an old chap so any help would be wonderful.....

Thanks Michael, what is the best way of backing up, should buy a cheap standalone external hard drive rather than relying on the Time Capsule which is quite sensitive...
If you read the link I provided you'll get an idea of one way to maintain a backup of your music files, use Time Machine, and not take up as much room on the internal HDD/SSD.

Your internet connection speed has no effect on Time Machine/Time Capsule backups. Since that is all done locally, over your wireless network you actually do not need an internet connection at all.

Also I wondered if I could increase the memory on the setup disk by replacing the 4GB card already in the MBP with 16GB cards, if I upgraded would that affect anything I have stored already like my iTunes?
You're asking about the computer's RAM. Increasing that will not increase the size of the internal storage available to the computer. You'd need to replace the HDD/SSD of the Mac, which, depending on what model you have may or may not be possible (with new models of Macs).

I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac. The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out. How do I get them recognized.

I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac. The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out. How do I get them recognized. The symbol states the songs were downloaded from iCloud. I would like to get them to play so that I can make a playlist, and burn a CD.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

PS Elements/Organizer 11 sync with iCloud Photo Share

i have Photoshop Elements 11 suite on a PC win8. I wanted help in setting up my organizer so everytime I download pictures from my camera/card reader into organizer library, it would sync with icloud photo share. This is a functionality that iPhoto has that I just transitioned from. Since my wife and I take pictures on our iPhones, iPads and other cameras with SD card, the latter photos don't get to be part of the latest taken (not shown on icloud photo share) and we miss out on them when viewing the latest consolidate photos we take. I think I understand the watch folder in Organizer which I set to photo share folder of the icloud app's picture designated folder, but don't know how to set up the upload from organizer to icloud. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a great question. I've been using Photoshop Elements/Organizer (and PS Album before that) for many years and now more recently iCloud. I also am interested in consolidating these collections. I don't think there is any way yet to easily synchronize these, but with iCloud Beta you can easily upload photos in a PSE catalog into iCloud by simply selecting and dragging (I find it necessary to first drag/copy them into a temp folder on my desktop, and then upload them into iCloud using the iCloud Beta upload button). After this full resolution photos will appear in iCloud and on your iPhone and other devices. One problem I've discovered though with turns out to be a real headache, is the dates. The date the photo was taken is not read properly by the iPhone Photo app and so the photo will appear to have an incorrect date. I don't know why this is happening, but it seems to be a problem with how iCloud Beta is importing the JPG file. I wish Apple would solve this. If anyone else has found this problem and a solution, I'd like to know. Anyway, I hope this answer helps.

I cannot sign in to my icloud account,nor itunes and neither can download any app, both from my Mac and iphone

I cannot sign in to my icloud account,nor itunes and neither can download any app, both from my Mac and iphone. I cannot even sign in to my icloud account. Someone help me out plzzz

It means you are already signed into the ID as a secondary account on your Mac. Go to System Preferences>Internet Accounts. If you see this iCloud listed on the left sidebar, click on it and confirm that it shows your iCloud ID. If so, click the "-" sign below the account list to delete it. Then you should be able to go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with the ID as your primary iCloud account without getting this error.

Switch primary icloud email address on iPhone 6 - I have 2 email addresses, one of which is obsolete. Each has its own apple id, icloud account and itunes account. the phone shows the obsolete one as primary in iCloud. Can I switch it?

I have 2 email addresses (and apple ids, icloud accounts and iTunes accounts). One is obsolete but my iPhone 6 shows it as primary. How to I change this?

See: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
If that doesn't resolve it contact Apple Account Security: Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support Or call the main Apple support number for your country and ask for the Account Security Team.

Hey there Dollyonline,
Thank you for asking your question! It sounds like iTunes Match playlists are not syncing correctly to your iPad, even though you have already toggled iTunes Match off then on again. I would next turn iTunes Match back off, then close all the apps on the iPad:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that, sign out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes and App stores, and restart the phone then try turning on iTunes Match again to test the issue:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

PLS IS MY APPLE ID THE SAME WITH ICLOUD ACCOUNT

PLEASE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHETHER APPLE ID IS THE SAME WITH ICLOUD ACCOUNT? ALSO, IS ITUNE ACCOUNT THE SAME WITH ICLOUD ACCOUNT OR ID ACCOUNT? PLEASE WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES OR SIMILARITIES?

Hi @ramatu ,
An iCloud account uses an Apple ID for identification. See this article for reference -
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
Likewise, the iTunes store uses an Apple ID for purchases. It does not have to be the same Apple ID that you use for your iCloud account. See this article -
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
