Setting up icloud and apple id on different devices

I have 1 ipad and 1 iphone both of which use one icloud account and share 1 itunes account using my apple id. Everything links between the 2 perfectly.
My son has a new iphone and a PC. I want him to be able to have his own icloud account so he gets his own icloud storage and I don't have to see his photos - I would like them to photostream to his PC (how?? Windows 8 is a mystery to me!) but I would like him to have access to the apps on my apple id and I would like to share my calender from my icloud account with him.
Is this possible with icloud? And can someone hold my hand and walk me through this set up step by step

Please use install icloud control panel from here
iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 for Windows - Support - Apple
instead of using that particular statement:
"On your son's itunes program on the PC, go into the icloud settings and connect to the right ID "

ICloud and Apple ID are different, what about Itunes Match??

My apple ID, what I use to purchase apps and songs with, is different than my iCloud ID which I use to synch mail, contacts, etc with.
Now that iTunes Match is live, and I am using it, what is going to happen when I do a synch? Has anyone in my situation tried yet?
Im wondering if, when my phone goes to the cloud to synch, it wont see any music under my iCloud ID and just not synch that, or will it be ok this way? It has worked great up to now, but am worried.
If you are wondering why I dont just try it, well it seems the servers at Apple are once again overloaded and I cant do anything more with iTunes match then what initially synchronized. I get a time out error now. So I thought I would ask the question and try to resolve any potential problems before they happen!

I was in the exact same situation as you. I had an Apple ID I purchased all my songs/movies/shows/apps with, and a completely different one that I used for iCloud. I decided that for iTunes Match, I'd just use my iCloud ID, and it's been great. I never have to use my old account. Whenever my old apps have updates, my iPhone just asks me for my password (it remembers my old email), and the updates download. It's easy and great - you'll be fine. Enjoy iTunes Match!

My iCloud account and Apple ID are different.I CA'NT REMEMBER MY icloud password.help me plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

My iCloud account and Apple ID are different.but now i cant remember my icloud password .help me plzzzzz

If you don't know your iCloud ID, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. (An iCloud ID is also an Apple ID.)
If you don’t know your password you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

I have signed in iCloud and Apple Id with two different accounts and forgot the password of iCloud's account so what should I do?

Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
A forgotten iCloud password as above can go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the same ID they use for iCloud to enter the password reset process.

Are iCloud and apple id and password the same

I keep getting a request for my icloud password which was assigned to an old id. I don't remember the password so I click on forgot password after which it tells me to reset my apple id password which I do. I can't find out where to see my icloud profile to then change the icloud id. Where is it? Should the cloud and applie profiles be the same?

Hello sukoenig,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are wanting to know if your Apple ID and iCloud have the same password. Yes, and in fact that is recommended according to this article you can have more than 1 Apple ID if you choose. Take a loot at this information about how your Apple ID works:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895
An Apple ID is the email address you use as a login for just about everything you do with Apple, including using iCloud to store your content, buying songs from the iTunes Store, and downloading apps from the App Store.
When you set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can use the same Apple ID for iCloud services and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. You can also use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You will get all the benefits of iCloud whether you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and store purchases, or different IDs for each.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

ICloud and Apple ID info no longer available on iPod Touch

I have been using iCloud to back up my iPod for the last couple of months. Suddenly in the last couple of days under Settings on my iPod Touch 4th gen. iCloud is no longer available (visible but greyed out), and under Settings/iTunes my Apple ID: ... is greyed out and I can't access the information. This happened after I set up a second computer at home to access iTunes and download music etc. Can anyone tell me why and how to fix this?

You're wonderful! I changed it from Don't Allow to Allow and iCloud and Apple ID info are now available again. Had checked in here myself but didn't realise that this was the problem. Thanks!

Can anyone help with icloud and apple accounts getting mixed up on 2 phones?

Basically husband upgraded from 4s to 5c. Gave dad 4s. I tried to set his dad up with icloud and apple id but didn't realise husbands old sim card was in 4s. Now neither phone works and husband very annoyed his apple id and password don't work anymore. Please help!!!

Hi Chris
So husband got new phone. Was all set up and up and running when we left the shop
Gave dad the old phone. It was locked to Vodafone so we had to ask them to unlock. He then got his three sim cut down to fit.
Weeks after husband had his 5c we went to dads to set his 4s up. I upgraded it to latest software iOS something. Anyway didn't realise it was husbands old sim still in phone.
After upgrade it asked me to set up apple account (I think) could have been icloud. Anyway I started setting it up with dads email and password choice. Husband then saw message on his 5c saying his dads email was being added to something on his phone.
At this point I left alone but now when husband tries to use his apple id for apps etc it says invalid user id or password. It's as though the 2 have got mixed up. Bit it won't let him reset his password?
Does this make sense?

My iCloud and FaceTime accounts are different. How can I combine them?

My iCloud and FaceTime accounts are different. How can I combine them so I can make calls from my macbook pro. One is my me.com account and one is another email account. Thank you

You should have purchased an external hard drive and backed up your entire system and important data before bringing it into an Apple Store to gave them do what you had them do.
If you had any important data, like photos, personal videos, important documents, large music library, etc and had lost all of this by having Apple "clean out" your Mac, without a backup of this data, you would have lost everything on your Mac that was important to you.

Hello, I received a message to set my icloud and the screen went blank, the computer will reboot and now asks me for a PIN code unknown to me, what should I do?

It has been remotely locked by the owner, or by someone who knows the owner's Apple ID and password.

HT204150 I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help

I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help?

Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud.

My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do i get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, they are on other iphone i have.

I did turn the contacts back on and it didnt work. I am hoping the wi-fi connection I am on at school is not compatible, and it will work when I get home. Thanks!

HT204053 how to merge iCloud and Apple IDs?

How can I merge my iCloud and Apple ID's?

I just got off the phone with Apple's support (got transferred several times, but they finally transferred me to an "expert" in the security department.
I'm moving to the east coast, and my current ISP is only local to the California Bay Area, so I need to use a new email address for my AppleID. I thought the obvious choice would be my icloud.com email address.
The Apple support "expert" was confused, but eventually said I'd need to create a non-apple email to use as my email address for my existing AppleID if I didn't want two separate ID's.
My response was "So Apple is recommending that I do NOT use iCloud and I should create an non-Apple email account?" He said "Unfortunately, yes."
Come on Apple - you look riduculous. You're abandoning loyal long time customers by saying either create and manage two AppleID's or don't use "iCloud" so you can have a single AppleID.
It's time for Apple to step up and fix this ridculous mess.
