Two iPhones, one iCloud account

I have two iPhones and want both the photo's to be steamed to our Mac, but don't want the pictures to go to both of our iPhones. As in I don't want my wife's pictures to show up on my iPhone as mine on hers, but want both photos to go to the Mac. How do I set that up?

Sorry, photostream is then not for you.
Both devices as well as any PC or Mac would need to have signed in using the same Apple-ID which woudl automatically not only sync all the picture-mishmash of the various devices to each other, but would also share all mails,adressbooks,ical appointments,bookmarks and so on.
A "gallery option" in that you could selectively pick photos to share with outsiders is not in icloud.
It is designed around "You" and "your stuff" on "your devices".
All in all it is just badly programmed.

Two iphones, one iTunes account, two icloud accounts

Hi,
I have two iPhones, one privat, one from my company.
I would like ...
... to have all music, apps, books bought via iTunes to be on both iPhones - use same Apple ID for iTunes account?
... seperate calender, contacts, todos - use different Apple IDs for iCloud?
Is there still a way to have all pictures taken in one common photo stream?

I have the same question. My daughter and I share an apple account which is fine, but now I am getting some of her texts and each time I send her one I get a duplicate? I thought I messed this up when we tried to Facetime each other and I have deleted all those options. How do I fix it so I have my own texts and she has her own texts, I don't get duplicate texts but she can still access our I tunes account? Please help

Two iphones,one apple account and icloud backup?

my wife and I both have iphones with only one apple account, I did the icloud back up on my phone and everything is fine, but when I did hers it shared all of our contacts, now I have two diiferent accounts set up for itunes, do I need to create another apple account for her phone and can we delete the contacts that were put on our phones without losing anything else? Thanks

If you are sharing an iCloud account do not start deleting contacts on either device. Doing so will delete them from iCloud and the other device and they will be lost. To prevent merged data like this you need to have different iCloud accounts on each device. You can continue to use the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores; it does not need to be the same as your iCloud ID. To fix this, first decide which phone will be getting the new iCloud account. Then on that phone, 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. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The other phone will not be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone 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. At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the other person's data from your account (such as deleting your wife's contacts from your iCloud account, and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each phone. When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.

Photostream not working - two iphones, one itunes account, two icloud accounts

Hello,
My wife and I both have iphones (both 4s). I have had mine for some time and she got hers last week.
We have one itunes account. We have two icloud accounts.
We cannot get shared photostreams to - my phone will not receive invites from hers. It works the other way round though.
All the settings are correct and switched on.
Please don't send me to the FAQ page as I have tried everything on there to no avail
Thanks
Matt

The quickest and easiest thing to do is take the desired iPhone and connect it to the desired iTunes account. This most likely will erase and data on the iPhone and replace it with the data from the itunes account it is connected to.

Two iPhones, one icloud ID for imessgae and facetime???

I have two iphones, 3Gs and iPhone 5 and I am having problems activating the iPhone 5. The 3Gs has been activated and I can use it to send and recieve imessages but the iPhone 5 keeps telling me activation unsuccessful and when I check the send and recieve at section, the number (grayed out) is that of the 3Gs instead!
What could be the problem??? Do I have to create a different account for the iPhone 5 and how do I let it display the telephone number of the iPhone 5 instead of that of the 3Gs???

that's right, sync it with your library but also make sure that your sister does not do it again as it will keep changing.
You may wanna disable contacts sync with the iCloud on her device by taking her device and go on settings, iCloud & switch off contacts.

Two iphones one me account one calendar one set of itunes and two sets of

...contacts
is this possible with logging onto one or more accounts.
Basically we just want to keep the two iphones contacts separate.
Ive put the itunes stuff in the shared folder, all the calendar stuff runs through the me account but im not sure the cleanest way of keeping the contacts separate either by putting subgroups or another method
if anyone has got a really slick way of doing this or even a non-slick way then I would be most grateful
J

I don't think MobileMe lets you sync subgroups, although you may want to chat with their support and check.
You can sync a subset of contacts, but only if you sync through iTunes. I think I just responded to someone who was trying to BOTH sync through MM and sync a subset through iTunes, and they didn't seem very happy with the results, so I wouldn't advise that.
All your contacts are merged in Address Book on the computer, right?
You might try this:
Set up two groups in Address Book on the computer, one for each phone. Let MobileMe sync everything and accept having the extra contacts on your phone--they don't take up much space. But the groups should also sync, and then you each can use the appropriate group on your phone. It looks like once you go into the group on the phone, it will stay there until you deliberately move back to All Contacts.

Two iPhones, One MobileMe Account?

I think I know the answer to this, but I'd like verification before I plunk down the cash...
I've had an iPhone for a while now, and I've been a .mac subscriber pretty much since that was launched.
My wife just got her iPhone yesterday. She has her bookmarks, contacts, etc. I have mine. If she syncs to MobileMe via my account, the two separate data sets (bookmarks, contacts, and calendars) become merged, right?
The only way to keep her data and my data separate is to upgrade to the family plan for MobileMe, right?
Thanks,

Correct you need 2 MobileMe accounts, a family setup will be fine.

HELP! Two iPhones, One iTunes Account...

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law both have iPhones and they share an account. He just called me to sign in and find his iPhone because he can't find it and it pulls up his wife's. I knew this would happen if they share an account, but is there any way to retrieve the location of HIS phone?

It doesn't matter that they have the same iTunes username and password. Like I said earlier, we do that here and it will show all phones. You said in the earlier post "Mr Smartypants doesn't have the app on there" and I told you he doesn't have to have the app on the phone. The app is to track "other" devices, not his own. It just needs to be activated as I said in my earlier post.If it isn't found, he either didn't activate it, the battery is dead, the phone is off, or it wasn't lost, it was stolen and the thief has powered it off, remove the SIM, turned off Find my iPhone or location services or has restored the phone.

I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account?

I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account? I have been able to log into what appears to be three of the four iCloud accounts I have. Two of them seem to be remarkably similar, and one appears to be only for my MacBook.I think I know which one my iPhone is backing up to, as I successfully restored from a back-up last week. The fourth iCloud account I can't access via password or security questions. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Cheers,

You cannot merge accounts.

Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account? For example: iPad and iPhone, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud), is this possible?

Hello Apple Community,
Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account?
For example: iPad Air and iPhone 5, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud). Is this possible?
This way when I change from an old ipad to a new, I can restore with the ipad backup, and when I change from an old iphone to a new, I can restore from the
iphone backup.
Thank you in advance!

Terminology check here. Do you really mean a "CD"? There's a difference in Cloud behavior between content from a physical CD you ripped (which only has Cloud content if you have iTunes Match) and an "album" you bought from the iTunes Store.
Read references for Home Sharing.
iTunes: How to share music and video - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688 - about Music Sharing and Home Sharing
Home Sharing Support page - http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/
iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
The above can get pretty complicated. You are probably best off by syncing both devices to a single library and/or updating the libraries on both computers to have the same content.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'.

How to use two iPhones with one iCloud account

I am really confused at how to set our iPhones up.
My wife and I each have an iPhone 5.
We have one iCloud account because we share our calendar and contacts.
I did get her her own iCloud account to add some calendar events I don't need to sync.
That is working all well and good.
The only problem is Siri. It says my name to her when she makes a request. So I went in to Siri and choose her name out of contacts. Then it starts calling me by her name on my iPhone.
Obvioulsy Siri is linked via iCloud and I am not seeing a setting to change that.
If we could share calendars between two different iCloud accounts all would be well.
Can we. Can I set my calendar up as something she can subscribe to?

Hi Friend,
About Siri, it must know who you are. To do that, go to: Settings>>General>>Siri>> My Information. There, you can select your own information, like name, phone number, home address, office address and so on.
About Calendars, you can set what you want to share with her, and what she wants to share with you as well. To do it, you must set it in two different places:
1o: Set with iCloud: Settings>>iCloud, there you can set if you want to sync with;
2o: Set which kind of calendars you want to sync: Calendars>>Calendars, there if you want to sync Calendars, but you won't sync your Work Calendars, unmark Work. It will private your Work Calendars just with your iPhone device.
3o: General settings of your Calendars: Settings>>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>>Calendars, there you can setthe period of events you want to sync and set your Standard Calendar.
Hope it will be helpful

Two iphones separatly synced to one icloud account

I have my iphone synced to an icloud account. My husband has just got an iphone too which I have syned to a icolud account using the same email address but the problem is all my calendar information and contacts are now synced to my husbands phone. Can you have one icloud account but two accounts one for each mobile phone? Hope I have explained this correctly, as not sure what I am doing wrong!!!!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
I would suggest in your situation that you each have your own iCloud accounts for your own mobile device, whether or not you wish to share an iTunes account you will have to decide.
