Second iCloud/Apple ID for find my iphone (in the enterprise)

My organization has several iPhone 6's on which we want to use find my iphone with an enterprise apple id. We want to let the user have their own icloud account for everything else. Is there a way to do this?
If we have to wipe a device we will need the find my iphone (icloud) password. If the employee has left the company they may be unwilling or unable to give it to us. Especially if the parting was on less than amicable terms. There should be a way for us to wipe the device and restore the OS without having to go to an apple store and provide proof of ownership. I am advised that this was possible before ios 7

An IOS device may only be signed into one account at a time, not both. You'll need to decide which matters most, personal use or business use of the device.
You may also want to open a business account for purchases made for company use. http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/

How can I use a different Apple ID for Find My iPhone than for iCloud syncing/storage and iTunes purchases?

I use two different Apple ID's for two iPhone 4's and for iTunes on my PC. I use one for purchases and the other for Find My iPhone on both phones. How can I set up iCloud for both phones using each ID for it's user for storage and backup but keep one ID for purchases and one for Find My iPhone on both phones?

To better describe what I am needing:
1. - iPhone 1
2. - iPhone 2
A. - Apple ID #1
B. - Apple ID #2
On 1. I need A for purchases and iCloud and B for Find My iPhone.
On 2. I need A for purchases and B for iCloud and Find My iPhone.
In addition, will iCloud store text messages?

Can I use a different Apple ID for Find My IPhone and syncing contacts, calendars, etc?

I would like to use one Apple ID to sync all of my contacts and calendars, but I need to place the Find My iPhone functionality in a different Apple ID account. Is this possible? Ideally Find My iPhone would be the ONLY feature used by that account, not app sharing, store purchases or anything else.

Is it possible to interconnect 2 iCloud accounts together for find my iPhone purposes?

For find my iPhone and iPad purposes; is it possible to establish a link beween 2 iCloud accounts? For example: my spouse and myself?

No, but if you are simply attempting to locate each other, try the find my friends app.

HT201441 How do I update my apple ID for find my iphone when it is linked to an old deleted email address that is not recoverable

I recently changed my apple ID after I deleted my old email address which is no longer recoverable. I cannot get the find my iphone app to work. When I log in to try and change my apple id to the current one, or delete the account, it asks me for my password to the old email (apple id). I have no idea how to change this to be current. The password for my old apple id will not work and I am going in circles. When I log into the app and use my current apple id it does not locate any of my devices. They all say they are offline but are not. Any suggestions or help on how to unlink my old apple id to this app??

Hello Fatboy896,
You may need to temporarily change your Apple ID back, sign out of iCloud on your device, then revert the change to your Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud

Can I use 1 apple id for contacts and one apple id for find my iphone

My family has multiple deivces on using the same apple id for store stuff and to find my iphone. How can I put a different apple id on my phone so our contacts won't get merged.

Yes you can. Changing your ID won't get rid of any of your previous purchases. You just won't be able to redownload them from iCloud. (They are permanently tied to the ID you used to purchase them and you can't switch IDs and redownload under the new ID for 90 days - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627). So be sure to transfer them to your iTunes library by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. That way you can sync them back at any time without worrying about having to redownload them.

How do I add a device to my iCloud? - specifically for "Find my iPhone"

Hi All,
How would I go about adding my old iPod Nano to our "newest" iCloud/iTunes account? We recently had a theft of one of our iPod Touches and I am trying to make sure ALL Apple products are covered moving forward. I believe my husband registered his iPod Nano to his account a long time ago before we realized we should just use one and customize in settings but it won't let me register it (iPod Nano) to mine... I've tried... I even tried to re-add my old iPod Touch (stolen one) but it wouldn't work. ***** - because I could totally DELETE everything whenever I wanted if that were the case. So bummed.
If you know how to do this please let me know. If I need to basically "create" a separate "find my iPhone" specifically for this product... let me know. I am OK either way. I just really wish I could have done this for my other one that was stolen.
I HIGHLY recommend that everyone download Lion OS to use iCloud and really utilize ALL its features. I'm still learning ... day 2 for me but am super happy thus far.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If the nano can't run iOS 5 (I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think it can), then it can't be used with Find my Phone.

TS3988 Can I set up additional icloud accounts just for Find My iPhone?

i have 5 iphones, 4 of which are under my icloud account id. I'd like to know if can have access to my son's iphone location with the Find My iPhone app using his icloud account information on my iphone.

Yes. You don't need to set up or use additional iCloud accounts on your phone to do this. You can track any device using Find My iPhone from your phone by downloading the free Find My iPhone app, then in the app signing into the iCloud ID that the device(s) you are trying to track are using.

When I search for "find my iPhone" on my mac, it doesn't find the app.

So I have find my iphone installed on my iPhone & it finds my phone & my mac.
Now I'd like to install in on my mac. It's more practical that if I lose my iPhone I'll use my Mac to find it.
When I search for "find my iPhone" in the App store, it can't find any apps by that name.
Closest is find my mouse.

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Location Services > scroll down to Find My iPhone, tap and turn location services ON.

I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting an iphone 5c. Want to transfer data to new phone. Currently all our family devices on one apple ID for purchases and it is the same for icloud. I want to create a new one for icloud for this iphone. What do I do?

Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting iphone 5c this weekend. Currently our family has several apple devices and they have the same apple ID for itunes and it is the same ID that we use for icloud. I want to set up a separate icloud ID so that it is only on my new device. I still want to keep the same apple ID for purchases. Can I do this and better yet when do I do this...before the purchase, after the purchase and backing up of data. Where do I go to create a new one?

Figured it out. Thanks.

I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new passw

I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new password does not match. What to do?

If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information. Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

Try this:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
