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.

Duplicate iCloud Accounts in Mail after Yosemite Upgrade

Since upgrading to Yosemite, I now have two iCloud accounts in Mail (but not in other applications like Notes or Contacts).
Both appear under Mail/Preferences/Accounts, but when I try to delete one I get the message: "The Mail Account [email protected] is shared by other applications on this Mac. You can remove this account in Internet Accounts". Yet when I click through to Internet Accounts, only one iCloud account exists.
I have tried logging out of my iCloud account and restarting as suggested in another post. The original iCloud mail account remains whether logged in or not, but doesn't show up at all in "Internet Accounts" so I am unable to delete it.
Appreciate any suggestions.

Hi, sorry but I didn't keep track of exactly what I did. But I think it was:
While logged into iCloud, I opened Mail/Preferences/Accounts and adjusted the username in the newer iCloud account to make it the same as the username for the original iCloud account (this one was greyed out). A warning came up asking me if I wanted two iCloud accounts with the same name. I clicked yes.
I then logged out of iCloud, and restarted my computer. Going back to Mail/Preferences/Accounts I was now able to delete the original iCloud account.
Finally, I logged back in to iCloud and the new iCloud account showed up in Mail.
Hope that helps. And that I remembered correctly!

After changing my e-mail address, two iCloud accounts were created, my iphone is unusable due to password requests every few seconds and my account has been blocked. What can I do?

So, you are saying that you set up a brand new Apple ID and then signed into iCloud with it, correct?
Are you also saying both accounts are disabled for Security reasons? If not, why can't you sign on with the one that is not disabled?

How do I combine two icloud accounts

Hello. I have five apple products. I also have two icloud accounts. Can I merge the two and if so how?

No, you cannot merge two account. You could set up and use both accounts on your devices for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, but would have to decide which account you prefer to use for services like iMessage, Photo Stream, Find My iPhone, Documents and Data.

I have two iCloud accounts, my original one that I used for iTunes years ago which has all my content, apps etc and a mobile me one which I got when I set mobile me up which has all my settings etc, this is causing problems, can I merge them?

As I said I have two iCloud accounts, both do different things, i.e. my original iTunes account has all my app's and music etc, and then also the account which was set up for me when I set up a 'mobile me' account has all my calendars, contacts, settings etc, how can I merge these or even easily set my settings etc to go to my older iTunes account, I have tried to set up family sharing and all I can share is my calendars not my apps because they are with another iTunes account.
I am also a little concerned that my fire vault has just set its self up using the mobile me account, if I was to get rid of an account I imagine this would be the easiest one to ditch then what would happen to all my encrypted data?
Many thanks for your help.

I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

I have two iCloud accounts and want to merge them

I have accidently set up two iCloud accounts and now I need to merge them to get rid of one so that all my accounts are in one place. I have not been able to get my PC Outlook file synced with since Mobile Me is no longer available and I just now figured this out.

You cannot merge them. You could manually export all the data from one and reimport it into the other: or you could sign in with one in System Preferences>iCloud and with the other in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars, which would make both sets of data available on your Mac.

Can I set up two iCloud accounts on my IPAD3 at the same time? If not how do you sign out of one to sign in to another?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can add more than one account to your iPad, but you can only have one primary account. Secondary accounts which you can add at settings> mail, contacts, calendars do not have all the features of a primary account such as photo stream.

I seem to have two icloud accounts--how can i consolidate?

I seem to have two iCloud accounts--how do I consolidate?

If your second account is actually an iCloud account with data in it, as opposed to a login for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match (which isn't actually anything to do with iCloud itself) you can sign in with it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars and its data will appear alongside the main account. (You can't use PhotoStream and a few other facilities with this secondary account, and you don't get 'push' email, only checking at intervals).
If the second ID is in fact only for iTunes just go on as you are: there is no conflict about doing this and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

Can i have two icloud accounts on my iphone

can i have two icloud accounts on the same iphone?

Yes. You can set up a second ("secondary") account on your phone by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with a different ID. There are some limitations with secondary iCloud accounts to be aware of. Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My Device. Also, push mail only works for the primary account; secondary account mail is fetch.

Can I have two iCloud accounts on one IPad?

Yes, you can add a second ("secondary") iCloud to a device as mendi1 stated. There are some limitations with secondary iCloud accounts. Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, syncing Bookmarks and Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My iDevice. Also push email only works in the primary account; only fetch mail is supported in a secondary account. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020.

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.
keep me posted

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

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.
