One cloud but two phones

I have two iphones with one account. I want to split them so the contacts, photos, music etc will remain separate when storing on icloud.
If I delete go into settings for icloud and delete the account on the one iphone, will this affect entire account or just the one phone?

Hello Jimbegood,
You can remove iCloud from one device without affecting the other device.  Follow these steps to log out of iCloud on the iPhone you would like to remove the iCloud account from:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings

Once you delete the account from your device, you will have an option to sign in with an atlernate Apple ID in Settings>iCloud.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

    Try resetting the one dropping calls more often.  Hold the on/off and home switches together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, consider restoring it using iTunes.

  • The flashlight in my iphone 4s keeps lighting even when it is switched off. I went through many articles and in those was mentioned presence of humidity could be one reason, but my phone was not prone to such conditions

    The flashlight in my iphone 4s keeps lighting even when it is switched off. I went through many articles and in those was mentioned presence of humidity could be one reason, but my phone was not prone to such conditions & it is the condition when i took it from its pouch. Kindly help

    If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it.  You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does.  If it does, you will get an email informing you.

  • One Apple ID, two phones, diff amts of storage (only ONE user)

    Sorry for getting shout-y, but all the 2 device/1 account questions I'm reading involve how to manage/share/hide between two users and that isn't my issue.
    I have an iPhone 4.  I recently got an iPhone 5.  The 4 has 32g of space, the 5 only 16.  I'm an app junkie.  I don't use iCloud (and would prefer not to if possible), don't use photostream (at the moment).  I always sync by cable, directly to my computer.
    I couldn't pass up the 5 since I got it for a great price, but the lack of storage is an issue for me until I get my storage/charging case in a few months.  My plan is to use the 5 as my "phone" and keep on it the apps I use most often.  The 4 will have everything I use, including the memory-hoarding games and podcasts and music.  Plus as I come across more apps/games I can dl them to the 4, try them out, and then if I decide to keep them, load them onto the 5.  My IP/SIM is going to be transferred to the 5, the 4 will be wifi-only.
    I just synced the 4 and updated/backed it up.  I am currently syncing the 5 to the same Apple ID on the same computer/iTunes account.  I have already gotten the warning that there is not enough room to install all the apps, which I expected.  My 4 is 1 G short of being full.
    These are my questions:
    - will I be able to get my iMessages on both?  (I assume yes to the 4, when in wifi)
    - if I was to turn on photostream, is there some way to be able to have pics/videos I take easily transferred between the two phones?  Since one has more storage, if I could send stuff to the 4 until I get a chance to sync/backup, then delete it from the 5 to save space, that would be cool.  (Also handy if I need a pic on the other unit which isn't with me).
    - what happens when I sync?  Besides the two phones having different content, one has half the memory of the other.  I'm worried that each time I sync it will overwrite with the other phone's content, etc.
    For that last one- I have debated transferring my Apple ID to the 5, and once everything is set up properly, creating a new Apple ID for the 4, and then putting all my **** on there.  That way I can sync each one without cross-contaminating each backup.  But I really like the idea of being able to go into the app store and just pulling in whichever apps I already bought on whichever phone without having to log in/out. 
    Which is the better way to do this? 

    Also, I'd prefer to keep the same ID on both so I will keep access to my calendar/contacts/etc on both devices.  Would I be able to share reminders and voice memos and the like as well?  And how often would they update each other?  If I edit a contact on the 5, and the 4 is in wifi, assuming they're both on my same ID, will the contact update on the 4? 

  • One Apple ID two phones big problem.

    Hi guys,
    Before 6 months I bought new Iphone 4s,but it was used one day from person who sell it to me, so it already has Apple id.
    I deleted user and created my user which was synced with iCloud and worked without any problem.
    Before 10 I bought Iphone 5, also created my Apple ID on it and sync with my PC/ iCloud.
    Yesterday I want to sell my first Iphone 4 and I did reset ( Erase all content and setting), but it did not want to wake up, so i started it with DFU mode using I tunes, and I did restore and update.
    Now I am facing to bit problem, on the begging steps it says something like "this apple id cannot be used to unlock this iphone".
    If I go to iCloud I can see only one device and currently its new iPhone 5, but both devices called with same name, so I am not sure is this problem.
    So I have two doubts:
    - I am not sure does SIM card can make this problem(on initiation phase you have to put sim in Iphone), because main is much smaller now so I using my wife SIM to finis registration Iphone 4 (iPhone 5 using smaller than iPhone4)?
    - another thing It says you have to "use original apple id..", like I sad on the beginning when i bought Iphone4 it already has apple id on it, which I was deleted and configure main (afterwards this device was visible on my iCloud). So do I need to put first creaded apple id, does iPhone remembering first created or last used. If yes I have big problem because I dont have contact of user who sell it to me.
    I want to add one thing, Iphone is not stolen I have warranty documentations and all profs that is not stolen.
    PLEASE HELP, in my country we have awful support !

    Just left the Apple store with an official answer.  You can have two phones one Apple ID, turn off auto updates so you don't automatically get apps on both phones. Then you need two different iCloud accounts.

  • One apple ID, two phones = nightmare..help!

    My husband and I made the jump to the iPhone 4S a couple days ago. Verizon transferred our contacts and everything was fine while we were in the store. They used our existing apple ID that we both shared from our home computer. This morning i woke up to find that all of his contacts and his apps were now on my phone and the same for him. I am assuming this is because of iCloud. I downloaded almost 100.00 worth of songs under that apple ID and now the technician with verizon says I have to create my own account and reset my phone, losing everything. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is there a way to save my songs?

  • How do you share one iTunes with two phones but not get each other's apps when you sync?

    My husband doesn't want to have the kid's apps or my apps download on his iphone when he syns to our one iTunes library....suggestions?

    Each device will ONLY sync what you select.
    Just do not select the apps that you do not want.  Only select the apps that you do want.

  • HT201263 I have had a new I phone 5s and am trying to update from i cloud but new phone is telling me it needs an update to ios 7.1.1. How do you do this,

    My phone saying 'no icloud backups are compatible with the version (ios 7.0.6) on this phone. But doesnt explain how to get the new update.
    Hoped/expectyed it would update automatically but sadly not

    It sounds like the iPhone setup is asking if you'd like to restore from an iCloud backup, and the Apple ID being used does not contain any backups which are compaible.
    If you tap "Back" on the top left, choose to "Set up as new phone" and then attempt to update. Once the update is completed you might be able to restore from a backup if you have one.
    If your iOS backup is from an updated/later version than what the iPhone is on, this may cause problems.

  • One iPod but two iTunes libraries, how can I read both & back up too.

    When I got my Fifth Gen last year, I was thrilled. Started a library of books and music immediately from cds I owned. Unfortunately I was mugged, and it was stolen. My kids bought me a new one (engraved w love), and now I have 55 gigs of books and music on it. But here is the problem. Since I got the new iPod, I was unable to get the old library to recognize it so I started a new library using my office computer. I can no longer download anything from iTunes at home. How can I get my two libraries to understand that they are both associated with one iPod?
    Secodarily, can I back up my iPod to a hard drive, or do I have to burn 1,000 cd's to back it all up?
    Thanks! JDP

  • One computer, but two user-accounts active, at the same time, in 10.6?

    I'm contemplating this setup: A current generation MacPro (running SL), with two monitors. Can I have two separate user-accounts (the Admin account and one additional user-account) active and running simultaneously from the MacPro, but, of course, displayed separately to the monitor corresponding with that user-account?
    Thank you!

    you can have two accounts logged in at the same time via fast user switching but there is no way to display them at the same time on different monitors.

  • One Apple ID, two phone, contacts

    My wife and I share an Apple ID, is there a way to separate our contacts...  Now, she has all of her contacts and mine, is there a way for her to keep just her contacts and I keep all mine?
    Thanks.

    Did you think about creating a new user account on your computer? Set it up with the same iTunes ID, disable autosync in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices and back up the phone manually by right clicking on it in the device list and choosing "backup".
    Do the same again and choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought apps and media to the new iTunes library.
    Set up at least one contact and event on the computer before you sync for the first time, which will erase your phone. But you can restore from the manual backup you made before to get all the settings and data back.
    You might have to fill in some passwords again which are not included in the backup, for example in Mail.
    Saving other data is also explained in this article:

  • No messages are dowloading for one account, but two others are working. Server settings are fine, messages are dowloading on another computer OK, but not mine.

    My thunderbird has stopped downloading messages in one of my accounts, the other two accounts, from different providers, are working fine.
    We have two PC's downloading messages from the same account, and it has worked fine like this for years. The other PC is still receiving the messages. I've checked my webmail, and can log in fine there, the settings in my account have not been changed in Thunderbird, and are the same as the other PC.
    I looked in the error console in Thunderbird, this is what message I get :

    Hi，
    I sugget you try to ping server so that we can verify the connectivity.
    Can windows 8.1 access Windows Server 2008R2?
    Also,please check the event viewer to see if some error log appeared when the issue occurred.

  • One iMac but two iPhones.. How to NOT share contacts on computer?

    Hello,
    I purchased an iPhone at the weekend and need to sync my contacts onto it but my partner is also getting an iPhone.. we only have one Mac PC so when he syncs his iphone will he also get all my contacts or is there a way of setting up seperate contacts on the same computer ect??
    Many thanks

    To keep everything separate, you should set up a different user account on the same computer (check Mac Help for more). This will give your partner a separate iTunes, iCal, Mail, Address Book, iPhoto, Documents folder, data storage, etc.

  • One itunes account two phones with mixed up apps

    I have an iphone 3Gs (Hers)and my boyf 4 (His), and i used my itunes on my computer to put music on his phone before- no problems.
    I had upgraded my phone to iOS 5.1 and a few days later did his. iTunes recognised the phone id as "His" and proceeded to say upgrade available blah blah blah, and backed it up, and asked that there were purchases on "his" that werent in my iTunes libruary, etc, all went fine so we thought.
    Now he has all my contacts in with his contacts and he's missing all his apps! and when we go across to Apps tab on summary it won't let us apply the selected apps to sync back to his phone. We tried manually deleating the contacts AND UNWANTED APPS (Ab workout & Period Tracker!) only to find them back on there when we went to put the music back on.(which is not going back on either btw)
    He cant access App Store as my id ([email protected]) is coming up constantly on his phone and its asking for my password. He downloaded Facebook and some soccer apps this morning directly to his iphone using my ID as he cant get his to come back or get back his stuff that are in the itunes libruary. THe newest problem is that half hour ago i went into App store on my iphone, which is still accepting my ID, and downloaded FM104 ( he has this already) - the downlad commenced and up poppped the three soccer apps and downloaded too onto my iphone.
    My boyf is a carpenter and has alot of contacts in his phone, and doesnt want mine, he's like his music back as he's on the road alot, and doesnt need a 7pm reminder to take his contraceptive pill going off!!!  PLEASE HELP !!!

    Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes that the user controls. The same apps can be installed on both devices or different apps on each device, which is selected under the Apps tab for each device.
    First disable automatic syncing when each iPod is connected. Under the Apps tab for the first device, deselect automatically sync new apps. Deselect the apps that you don't want installed on the device. Select Apply followed by a sync.
    Repeat for the 2nd device.

    You need to setup iMessage on one of the two phones using a different AppleID.
