Securing one iCloud account on multiple iPads

We want to keep track of our iPads using iCloud's Find My iPad feature. However, the other iCloud services come with it.
My concern is if I put an iCloud account on 20 iPads, people will enable Mail, Notes, Safari, etc in the settings.
How can I just use Find My iPad and keep people from using the other iCloud services?
Thanks!

The login for iCloud is your @me.com address if you migrated from MobileMe, or the other email address you chose when you created an Apple ID if you stearted an account from scratch. All iCloud accounts provide an @me.com address. No other address can be used as a functioning address with iCloud.

    Can I have more than one iCloud account on my iPad?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only have one primary account, you can add secondary accounts via settings > mail, contacts and calendars.
    Secondary accounts don't have all the features of primary accounts, such as Photostream.

  • HT4436 Can I use one iCloud account for multiple apple ID's - ie, all of those that are part of our family sharing?

    There are five members of my family and we each have multiple devices, it seems.  I want to know if we can set up one iCloud account where we can store all of our iTunes downloads (movies, TVshows, & music) from more than one account.

    Purchases may not be transferred from one account to another.

  • HT204053 One iCloud account on multiple devices

    My wife and I each have an iPhone and we have a Macbook.  Can we use one iCloud or Apple ID across all three of our devices?  Specifically we would like to sync one calendar, email account, notes and whatever else is functional for us to share.
    Is an @me account the same thing as an @icloud account at this point?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
    What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'.

  • HT5616 I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account.  I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account.  How do I do this?

    I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account.  I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account.  Any help on how I can I do this?

    You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

  • I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account?

    I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account? I have been able to log into what appears to be three of the four iCloud accounts I have. Two of them seem to be remarkably similar, and one appears to be only for my MacBook.I think I know which one my iPhone is backing up to, as I successfully restored from a back-up last week. The fourth iCloud account I can't access via password or security questions. Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You cannot merge accounts.

  • Can I have multiple devices on one iCloud account

    can I have multiple devices on one iCloud account? Like a iPad and Mac Book Pro
    If so how can I do this?

    Sure. That is what iCloud is meant for, so you can keep your devices synced.
    When you set up iCloud on the devices, use the same Apple ID on all devices, then the iCloud account will be the same.

  • How can I change the iCloud account that my iPad backs up to? I now have two iPads. I want the older to go to a new account and the new one to sync to the original account.

    iPad sync to the iCloud account

    You have to create a new Apple ID for the new iPad. But you really don't want to do that because them you will have to purchase all of your content again because paid content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it originally. You will not be able to download all of your previously purchased content for free.
    You can backup multiple iDevices to one iCloud account, I backup my iPod and iPad to one iCloud account. You can always purchase more storage space if you need it. IMO - if you still have a computer - use iTunes. You are only limited by the capacity left on your hard drive when you backup. No need to keep paying for more iCloud storage - again, just my opinion.

  • Can I have multiple iPhones with unique back ups using one icloud account?

    Hello forum users,
    Can I have multiple iPhones with unique back ups using one icloud account?
    I would like to back up and restore 4 different iPhones, 1 iPad, a MacBook and 1 MacBook Pro using the same single iCloud account.
    If so, how is this done?
    Many thanks

    Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address).  While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
    Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud.  You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

  • How to have one iCloud account linked to multiple apple ids

    I am sorry if this has been asked before but my head is spinning at reading everything about iCloud and I haven't really found 1 discussion with my particular situation.
    This is what we have:
    iPhone - wife
    iPad - wife
    itouch x 3 - husband and kids
    We have 4 family members and 3 different Apple ID's (husband and wife -1 ID, Kids each have their own)  All items are purchased on 1 mac but under different Apple ID's (the kids get their own iTunes cards for spending, that's why we kept seperate accounts). We all have access to each other's songs and app purchases (as we know each other's passwords) and have been freely able to add to each others devices.
    So my question is: How do we all utilize ONE iCloud (say using my Apple ID as the main account ID) and then have the other 2 Apple ID's tied to the ONE iCloud account?  That way the kids can still purchase using their own $, same here for me, but then we all share the Songs/Apps as we did before.
    I hope I'm making sense......essentially I think I'm trying to ask..... how do we continue to share apps and songs with iCloud while maintaining different Apple ID's...LOL
    Thanks

    The bottom line is that you can't.  Apple IDs can't be merged, or shared, in any way at present.  There is a rumor that Apple is working on something, but it's not anything that you should rely on.  Purchases are tied to a single Apple ID and they can't be transferred to another Apple ID either.
    I should note that you don't need to share passwords.  By simply creating separate iTunes libraries for each person, and authorizing the computer(s) for each account, you should all be able to use each others purchases and only be able to make purchases from your own account.

  • HT4623 How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?

    How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?
    For example on my iphone I log in with a yahoo account.  My ipod was originally set up with another e-mail account (which I can't remember the password).  I want to use the yahoo e-mail and the password associated with it to log on to both devices.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    No, it only mirrors changes to synced data.  This includes mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari bookmarks, notes, iWork documents and data, and photo stream photos (assuming you choose to sync all this data).  Changes to iTunes data such as music, apps, podcasts, etc., are not synced using iCloud.  In your example, if you delete an app from one device it will remain on the other until deleted there too.

  • Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account?  For example: iPad and iPhone, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud), is this possible?

    Hello Apple Community,
    Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account? 
    For example: iPad Air and iPhone 5, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud).  Is this possible?
    This way when I change from an old ipad to a new, I can restore with the ipad backup, and when I change from an old iphone to a new, I can restore from the
    iphone backup.
    Thank you in advance!

    Terminology check here. Do you really mean a "CD"?  There's a difference in Cloud behavior between content from a physical CD you ripped (which only has Cloud content if you have iTunes Match) and an "album" you bought from the iTunes Store.

    The above can get pretty complicated.  You are probably best off by syncing both devices to a single library and/or updating the libraries on both computers to have the same content.
