Two iCloud accounts - delete?

I seem to have two iCloud accounts. I know there is much dicsussion but allmy devices are setup for my regular e-mail iCloud account. The other on my iMac shows @me as the default iCloud account. What ahppens if I just delete the @me account and what are the consequences? Seems it may be impacting the calendars I see on my iPad. Thanks

Just use your regular e-mail iCloud account, you must sign in with this account to iCoud, you can't use two iCloud accounts at the same time, but you can switch between them if needed.
For more information refer to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5441
I hope that helps.

You can't delete an iCloud account. You can, however, sign out of that account and just stop using it. Then sign in to your second account on all devices account.

How do I merge two iCloud accounts?

I accidentally created a different iCloud account from my old Mobile Me and an entirely new one. The old Mobile Me one wasn't working on all my devices, but the new one is, so I want to merge the old into the new. Is that possible?

To move contacts between accounts:
Go to users and groups and choose only your iCloud Contacts to display. If you are logged into two iCloud accounts you will need to make sure you select the right one.
Ensure that nothing is typed in the search field.
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.
Delete the contacts from Address Book (using your delete key).
Make sure your iCloud (the one you want to keep) account is your default account (preferences > general).
Select All iCloud contacts (the one you want to keep) from users and groups.
Drag the file you previously dragged to your desktop back onto Address Book.
You might want to back up all your contacts before you begin.
Select All contacts in users and groups
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.

No really. See:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
You can resolve the Messages and similar FaceTime problem by first setting them up using the Apple /iTunes ID email address and then adding another email messaging/calling email address and then deleting the Apple/iTunes ID email address.

I think i may have two iCloud accounts how can i merge them?

I think i may have two iCloud accounts as i changed my apple id, I don't seem to be able to access the other. How can i see my documents in the cloud

Hello HVD64
I'm afraid there is no way too merge two icloud accounts together per se. However if you;
1. Go to SETTINGS on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Go to iCLOUD.
3. Scroll to the very bottom, press DELETE ACCOUNT. Before you panic, this is not going to Delete your iCloud account. It is simply going to delete the bridge that connects your device to the iCloud.
4. Choose to KEEP ITEMS ON YOUR DEVICE if asked.
Then sign into your 2nd account, and this will merge both accounts onto one device. There is not much else you can do I'm afraid!
Kind regards
Edward

I have two iCloud accounts .mac and .me. My contacts are duplicated 2 and 3 times. I only want one account.

Somehow, I ended up with two iCloud accounts. A .mac and a .me. I only need one but can not make the .me the primeray one (it tells me that the email is already in use). Anyways, I also have my contact records duplicated 2 and 3 times. I went to the Apple store in Beijing (I'm in China now) and they did not seem to know much about iCloud. They told me that I have to erase my contacts on the iPhone and iPad and then manually erase the duplicates. Is there another way to do it? How can I set up iCloud so that I only have one account?

How to sync two iCloud accounts with MS-Outlook?

Hi People!
Me and my wife have iPhones and each of us has a personal "[email protected]" account.
We share the same desktop computer at home, and I am wondering how to bring both accounts info (e-mail, contacts and calendar) to the MS-Outlook.
Does anybody knows how to do so??
Some info:
-We really share the desktop, i.e., we both login using the same ID and we don't want to create separate Windows accounts
-We don't want the contacts to get mixed.
-I already configured the iCloud Control Panel to bring my personal iCloud info into the Outlook, and it is working fine
-I simple couldn't find a way to create a second iCloud Control Panel to configure my wife's iCloud account.
Thanks for the help!
Marcello.

You cannot merge two iCloud accounts.
you can delete and keep one iCloud informations on iPhone and then connect to other one, then you just will need to merge the informations.
But you will always have the 2 diferent iCloud accounts.

Two icloud accounts in mail

When I open mail in my ipad2 I have two icloud accounts, one with the old blue icon and one witht the new slver icon. I want to delete theold account especially ince it isn't working at all. When I look at icloud in settings, I only see one . The same when I look at mail in settings.
So, how do I get rid of the unwanted icloud?

Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then go back and check Mail again. See if that doesn't eliminate one of them.

Two iCloud accounts in Notes

I have two iCloud accounts that show in Notes. The one that has content is syncing perfectly with my iPhone and iPad, the other is empty. Does anyone know how to delete the second account? As you can see below, the "Delete folder" option is grayed out.
I've tried the suggestions at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4153328 but they don't work for me. I'd sure appreciate some insight on this from someone who might have experienced the same thing.
Thanks!

Back up all data.
Check the Mail, Contacts & Calendar preference pane to make sure you're not synchronizing Notes in more than one account.
If you're not, disable Notes synchronization temporarily.
Quit Notes, if it's running.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
Copy the whole line of text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop.
The folder you're moving is named "com.apple.Notes" It is not the subfolder named "Data" or anything else.
Re-enable Notes synchronization.
Relaunch Notes and test. If it works now, delete the folder you moved. Otherwise, quit again, and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place.
Caution: If you delete some or all of the contents of the selected folder, but leave the folder itself in place, the application may not launch. Deleting the folder will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Two iClouds accounts in Notes ?

On my MacBook, I have two iCloud accounts appearing in Notes and hence I receive all notes twice (not a life-threatening problem but slightly annoying). The iMac which seems to be set up the same way does not exhibit the same problem. I only have and I am only logged in with one me.com account (to the best of my knowledge).
I have tried deleting the iCloud account (in Preferences > Mails, contacts, calendars), then reconnecting and re-booting,... but the two accounts always show up in Notes. Sometimes Notes will even crash when receiving a notes from the iPhone for instance or trying to write and sync a note. Hence there seems to be a little bug and it seems it appeared when I moved to Mountain Lion. I have even tried reinstalling Mountain Lion but I can still see two iClouds accounts in Notes. The only way to get ride of one iCloud accounts is to uncheck it from iCloud in Preferences > iCloud or Preferences > Mails, contacts, calendars but it seems to me odd because the notes will still sync with the same me.com account I just unchecked. Again, I do not have the same issue with the iMac.
Anyone encountered the same problem and (hopefully) found a solution? Thanks in advance.

I have two. Actually I kept searching after asking my questions and actually just found the solution... There it is :
I deleted : ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes. Duplicate accounts disappeared in Notes and everything is working well now.
Thanks for your help

TS3988 how can i merge my two icloud accounts information

How can I merge my two iCloud accounts information

Apple doesn't provide a direct merge operation but you can connect in one account, disconnect but keep the data on the device, then connect with the other account and merge the data.
Details...
When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.
When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.
After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, log into the other iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account.
Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc. Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there. These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
NOTE: Photos in the first account's photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the other account. It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch.
