Should I have multiple icloud id's for each product?

should I have multiple icloud id's for each product?

Not if you want to keep things in sync across all your devices.
Normally, you have one iCloud account per person, and use that same iCloud account on all devices/computers you use.

  • HT204053 can I have multiple icloud accounts for one apple id?

    I have multiple people in my family using our original apple id .  As they have gotten iphones, macbooks, etc they register there devices under our originale apple id.  over the holidays when my youngest child got her ipod touch and registered it for icloud, two of the children now are seeing each others texts?  Is there a way to use the same apple id for the family and have seperate icloud accounts for each person or should we have a seperate apple id for each person?

    Yes but the issue with receiving each other's text messages is not being caused by sharing the same iCloud account.  To fix this, each person needs to be using a separate Apple ID for iMessage on their devices.  (Note: you can continue to use the same iTunes account on all your devices but each person should use a different ID for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime).  There are a couple of things you need to do to sort all this out.
    First decide who will be keeping the current ID for all services.  On the device(s) belonging to the other people in your family, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in with a saparate ID for each person.  After doing so you will no longer be getting each other's messages on your devices.
    Next, to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    For iCloud, to avoid having merged data by syncing with the same iCloud account you will need to migrate each person to their own iCloud account.  To do this, first decide who will be keeping the current account.  On the other devices go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from the device, not from iCloud.  The device(s) that will be keeping the current account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My [iDevice].  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID on the device(s) belonging to each person.  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.
    Finally, to un-merge the data in your iCloud accounts you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

  • HT204053 can you have multiple apple id's for the family but we all use the same iCloud?

    Can you have multiple apple id's for the family members but we all us the same iCloud account?

    You'll have to have an ID you all share in order to have a shared iCloud account. It would be sensible for each person to have their own ID and their own iCloud account for email and their own data (each would be on their own computer/iOS device or user account on a Mac) and then have a common account which everyone would sign into in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to access shared data.
    You don't want to be all using the email in a common account - if people are using email aliases remember these can't be detached from the account and transferred to another one. Having all your emails mixed up together can be somewhat impracticable.

  • HT4897 Can I have multiple icloud email addresses. i.e. one for me one for my wife?

    Can I have multiple icloud email addresses. i.e. one for me one for my wife?

    You can if you create two iCloud accounts.  Each iCloud account is only given a single email account.  (You can have additional email alias addresses, but they will still deliver incoming email to the same email account and inbox.)

  • Can I have multiple iCloud accounts?

    If I can have multiple iCloud accounts, where and how do I set the up?  I cannot find the option under the iCloud settings in system preferences.  I have a personal and two different work emails with calendars I would like to sync.

    I believe if you go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars you can set up another iCloud account, but I believe you can only sync data between one account at a time.
    You can set up two iCloud accounts separately for iCloud mail and syncing and another for iTunes Purchases, and Apple has an article out for this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895

  • HT4865 How can I have multiple icloud email accounts using the same rescue email account.

    I have several Iphones for my business for managers to use.
    I would like to set them up to send me the recovery emails but it seems only one icloud address can do that.
    Is it possible to have multiple icloud email accounts using the same - seperate recovery email address?

    Unfortunately, you cannot change your primary @me.com or @icloud.com email address, you could however create an alias or create a completely new account.

  • HT204053 can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id

    Can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, your ID is essentially your account. You can have email aliases and you can have multiple accounts, but I don't think that's what you are asking.

  • HT204150 I now have multiple icloud accounts. How do you determine which one is holding the data?

    I recently set up a new Windows 7 PC. I backed my phone to the icloud. When I plugged my phone into itunes on the PC it wiped my contacts and music out. Now I'm finding I have multiple iCloud accounts. I don't know which one to use or how to get my data restored to the phone. Very frustrating! Can anyone help me? --ptowngal

    Go to icloud.com, sign into each of your iCloud accounts and see which one(s) contain your data.

  • Can you have multiple iCloud email addresses?

    How many iCloud email addresses can I have for one apple id?

    You can only have a single iCloud email account for each iCloud Account (ID).  You can add up to three email alias address to the account, but they will all receive email in the same inbox.  This explains more about alias addresses: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.

  • Which setting should I have my apple tv set for picture resolution/quality it takes like a whole day for a movie to download before we can watch it

    Which setting should I have my apple tv set for picture resolution/quality as it can take a whole day to download a movie before we can watch it??

    The video/audio display settings should set automatically for the best your TV can handle (720p AppleTV2, 1080p AppleTV3).
    The download resolution for rentals or playback of purchases from the cloud is set in settings for iTunes store.
    Sounds as though you have slow internet.  For near instant streaming of video from iTunes store you need around:
    Standard Definition     2.5 Mbps
    720p HD                    6 Mbps
    1080p HD                  8 Mbps
    Any slower for a given quality setting and the movie has to buffer as it can't keep up in real time.  This might be a few minutes if close to the rated speed or many hours, even overnight.
    As pcd251s suggests you could test internet speed (speedtest.net on a computer for example).  If that is fine, sometimes the LAN if on wifi can be extremely slow in certain locations - ethernet connections would troubleshoot that.
    Slow internet is the common issue here.  AppleTV does not have permanent storage and using it to play other content or browse trailers while a rental is buffering can reset the buffering process.   In such cases you might be better off planning in advance, renting in iTunes, letting the whole thing FULLY download and it will then be available across teh LAN to stream from computer to AppleTV under Computers>iTunes library name>Rentals.

  • HT5646 should I set up a different account for each child?  if so, how do I manage itunes money between two kids?

    should I set up a different apple account for each child?  if so, how do I manage itunes money between two kids?

    Hello staatsfamily,
    Having a separate Apple ID for each child will allow each child to keep their purchases and iCloud information separate.  It will also allow you to provide an iTunes Store Allowance for each child:
    With iTunes Allowance, you can send a monthly iTunes Store credit to anyone with an iTunes Store account. It's a great way for parents to manage their children's spending on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store.
    Once you have created an Apple ID for each child, you can provide an iTunes Store allowance to each Apple ID. The following article will guide you in how to set this up:

  • Multiple Lines of Text For Each Clip in Project Panel

    Premiere CC latest update. Mac Mavericks
    I would like to disply multiple lines of text for each clip in the Project Panel.
    I have a couple paragraphs in the Description box, and I would like to be able to read all the text in the Description box.
    As it stands, it is very difficult to read more than one sentence in the Description box.
    Is there any way that I can view all the text in the Description box?

    Hi sats_sandy,
    To keep some tags and remove unused tags in the schemaxml file the multiple line of text, you can use regular expression to remove the unwanted tags.
    Here is a sample code snippet:
     private static string RemoveSpecifyHtml(string ctx) {
                string[] holdTags = { "a", "img", "br", "strong", "b", "span" };//tags to be reserved
                // <(?!((/?\s?li)|(/?\s?ul)|(/?\s?a)|(/?\s?img)|(/?\s?br)|(/?\s?span)|(/?\s?b)))[^>]+>
                string regStr = string.Format(@"<(?!((/?\s?{0})))[^>]+>", string.Join(@")|(/?\s?", holdTags));
                Regex reg = new Regex(regStr, RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.Multiline | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
                return reg.Replace(ctx, "");
