Separate iCloud accounts for iphones with same registration.

My wife and I each have iPhones. Both are registered to the same apple account. Can we have separate icloud accounts for Photo Stream, Contacts and possibly backup?

HT5527 So do you need separate iCloud accounts for your iphone AND your laptop?

iCloud complimentary storage plans expire tomorrow. Do we need separate iCloud accounts for iphone and laptop?

I'm thinking you had a Mac/Me.com account like I did that got transferred to iCloud. We were kinda grandfathered in to 25gig storage while the basic iCloud account storage is 5. As far as I know that storage plan is the only thing that expires tomorrow. You'll just be reverted back to the basic 5gig storage.
As far as anything else you don't need to have a different iCloud account, remember only one iCloud account can be used for the full suite of services on your phone but you could use a different one for iTunes and App store purchases if you wanted to. My wife and I share one account for those purchses on all our devices and computers but I do also use a separate iCloud account as my main one on my phone to keep our emails, messages, etc. separate.

Can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes and no.
There is no issues at all if you use two user accounts on the mac, each can sync with one of the accounts.
If you are using a single user account, you can add the second account as a secondary account in settings > mail, contacts and calendars and you can then sync mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders from the second account, but not documents and data, back to my mac or photostream.

Can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.

Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.

Need to have a separate iCloud account for daughter's iPod touch

I would like to manage all my iOS devices under one appleID, but with separate icloud accounts for my two daughters, each with their own iPod. How do I retain my Apple ID on daughter's iPod but have a separate iCloud address so that she doesn't receive my Messages, etc?
Thanks in advance.

You'll have to have separate iCloud accounts to have separate email addresses. You can do this and still share the same iTunes account for purchasing. There is no requirement that they be the same ID.
To change the iCloud ID on each of your daughter's devices, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) If she is syncing any data with your iCloud account, when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to select Keep On iPod. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. If they have any of your data in their new accounts, go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each of the accounts separately and delete it.
To prevent getting each other's text messages, use separate IDs for iMessage as well. If you are currently sharing the same ID for iMessage, on each of their devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.

Your question isn't at all clear. Is this a second-hand phone which has been locked by the previous user? In that case only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If you unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all.
You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.
You should not post serial numbers or any other personal data here; I've asked the Hosts to remove it.

My daughter has been using my iTunes account to buy music and apps. I now want to set up a separate iTunes account for her, with a different login. How can we transfer the music and apps she has already bought to her new iTunes account?

Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

How do I get separate iCloud accounts for each family members device and still share iTunes?

how do I get separate iCloud's for each family members iPhone, iPod and iPad and still share iTunes?

Have everyone share the same iTunes store ID, but use separate IDs for iCloud. The ID you use for iCloud does not have to be the same as the ID you use for the iTunes & App store.

HT204053 Do I need a separate icloud account for each email account?

Do I need a separate icloud account with each email address?

Hi Winston and thank you so much for helping me.
What I would like to do is this. I have 3 email accounts that are important and I use every day so here is where I got messed up in my thinking. I have to select which email to receive my messages. To answer I have to go to each account
as I do not want to share my email accounts names. Can I assign each aol account name to an apple Id and have the messages go to that account only?
Winston, I thank you so much.

HT204053 I need 2 separate iCloud accounts for my kids on my device

I need to create iCloud accounts for my kids. 2 of them to be exact so that we can transfer all their games on our iPad to iCloud accounts and free up space. So far all I figured out was that I needed them to have their own apple Ida's, which they now do. I can't figure out how to get access to creat the iCloud accounts for them.

An iOS device is designed to be used by one user only - unlike a computer where multiple accounts can be set up. The device can only have one icloud account defined at a time. Are you trying to use one device with multiple users? Otherwise I'm not understanding your question.

How do you make separate ICloud accounts for people who all use the same Apple ID?

Me, my brother and mam all use the same Apple ID (i.e. this one. I'm not Debra) so is it possible to create three different ICloud accounts? I only want my music, pictures etc to go to my IPad, IPhone and my account on the Mac. If it's not possible, is there a way to see all the activity from this Apple ID in one place and split it into three different ID's easily? Thank's for any replies

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't have 3 accounts with one ID.
If the reason you want to keep a single ID is so you can share music and apps etc, then you should be aware that the iTunes account and iCloud accounts are different accounts, you can all share an iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts (each iCloud account would have its own ID).

1 iCloud account / 2 iphones with different phone number

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

Where on the Apple website do I go to get a separate iCloud account for my wife so we can keep our text messages separate?

Both wife and I now have Iphones. Were on the Apple website do I go to get her, her own icloud account/email etc. I want to keep the itunes apple ID the same sso we can share purchases, just dont need to see all her messages?

On her iPhone. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Add Account>iCloud>Get A Free Apple ID.
Use this ID for iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime on her iPhone. Keep your ID in Settings>iTunes and App Stores on both iPhones.

Should you get a separate iCloud account for each family member if you are sharing calendars and contacts?

My husband got his first iPhone. We are now an Apple Family. We share contacts and calendar with our phones and computers. Is one iCloud account ok or should he get his own account? If he gets his own account, would it conflict with mine?

3 accounts.
1 for your you
1 for your husband
1 for shared purchases (the original if it already has purchases, as purchased content is signed with the Apple ID that it was purchased with, so it cannot be transferred to a different account).
The individual account are for Messages, FaceTime, iCloud backup, bookmarks, etc...
Settings -> iCloud
Settings -> Mail (if you use your Apple ID for you mail)
Settings -> Messages
Settings -> FaceTime
Settings -> Game Center
The shared account is for purchases
Settings -> iTunes & App Store
Settings -> Music -> Home Sharing
Settings -> Video -> Home Sharing

Corporate icloud account for iphone remote wipe

Hi,
We are about to purchase 150 iphones for members of staff (field workers) and we would like to be able to maintain these phones in Icloud for purpose of remote wiping of devices if any go astray, stolen etc.
Is there option for corporate accounts for such services ? Is there a cost ? Can all 150 iphone be on same account so "point, select phone and remote wipe" ?
If icloud cannot do this, can anyone suggest anything else. We are not using Office365 or BES, so those options are out of the window.
Many thanks
Julian

Suggest you contact Apple for info. These are user to user forums, and you are not addressing Apple by posting here.
