No reason for different ID,you just need separate email addresses, not IDs. Also y ohave to be 13 rohave an ID.
To setup with one ID and different email addresses see:

Can I set up separate cloud accounts with one apple id?
we have several devices (6) but don't want to have to re-purchase all of the music and apps
You will need to use separate IDs to set up separate iCloud accounts. However, you can continue to share the same ID for purchasing but use different IDs for iCloud. (The ID you use for purchasing does not need to be the same as the ID you use for other services.) You will also want to use separate IDs for iMessage and FaceTime to avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

HT4436 My family has multiple iPhones. Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?
My family has multiple iPhones. Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?
If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account. You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

Our family has 1 Apple id with 2 itouches, 1 ipad and 1 iphone. My sons received several itunes gift cards. Can I set up sub-accounts under my id and deposit their gift cards into them (like a bank account)? If I can't, it seems that I will have to keep track of each of their purchases until they reach the limit of their gift cards, before they go over. This makes no sense. If I have to create new ids, will they lose access to all the content purchased under my id?
- You can't create subaccounts.
- You can create new account(s). The media on the iPod is still usable. It does create more work when updating apps since yo have to sign into the account that purchased them to update them. If you have apps purchased from more than one account that need update you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased with one account.
- To change accounts for purchasing go to Settings> Store (or Settings.iTunes and App store depending upon the iOS) and sign out and sign in with different account. -
Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id. do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)
There is no problem about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and another for iCloud and its email and syncing facilities. This way you can all use the same iTunes account but have separate emails and calendars etc.

if I already have an iTunes account with my family can I open a new iTunes account to sync my old iphone 4 and new iphone 5?
Hi Rileycarline,
You can easily have an iCloud account that is separate from the Apple ID that is used for iTunes purchases. Take a look at the article below to walk you through that specific setup process of have an account for iCloud and one for Store purchases.

I have an iPad and iPhone backed up with the same icloud account but because iv two the storage has filled really quick, how can I have separate icloud accounts?
You got it with that same apple id thing. You can use different apple id's, but then they will not sync. Apple does allow as many free apple id's as you want, but they are in the business to make money.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED ANOTHER IPHONE. MY INTERNET IS NOT WORKING. I JUST CREATED AN APPLE ID. WHAT'S NEXT? I NOW HAVE TWO DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS WITH DIFFERENT USER NAMES. HOW CAN I USE ONLY ONE ACCOUNT FOR ITUNES, ICLOUD APPLE ID ETC???
Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID. -
HT204053 can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id
Can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id
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. -
My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac. We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes. How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.
If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account. -
My mother never opened/registered her AppleCare she bought 1 year ago. I was told I can't use her AppleCare for my 4s I got this month because a newer version has been released, she can't even use it herself. Is this true? Can she get a refund?
Only one way to find out: call AppleCare.

I'm trying to back up my phone and itunes states I can't authorize more than 5 computers with this apple ID, I no longer own any of the other computers I supposedly authorized my account on. What now? I can't back up my iphone.
Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article, or if it isn't an option, the 'contact iTunes Store support' link at the bottom of it.
