Using different iCloud accounts with the same apple iD

My mom, brother, and I all use the same apple ID so we can all buy songs off of the same credit card. I have my iPhone and I also just got a Mac. My brother has his iPhone and an iPad and my mom just has her phone. We all listen to different music. Is there a way that I can set up an iCloud account for my phone and Mac so that I just have MY music, not my brother's and mom's? If so, how? I would like to be able to download a song on my phone and have it appear on my iTunes on my Mac.

The iCloud account is not what you are using to purchase and download music. That is for your backup and other things. The Apple ID that you are sharing is for music. If you want your own music, then you need to set up your own Apple ID account and sign into that in the iTunes store.

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.

Using Windows, can you have an ipod touch and an ipad on the same itunes account with the same apple ID?

I currently have an ipod touch 4th gen. I will be getting a new ipad in a few weeks. My itunes account is on a Windows computer. Will I be able to have the ipad under the same itunes account with the same apple ID as my ipod touch so I can have all of my music from my ipod touch and other info on both deveices, without using icloud or imatch etc. Thanks!

Yes

Can you have different accounts (meaning different passwords, different countries/store) with the same apple ID (only one e-mail address)?

thank you for your reply, it is not very fair from apple, since for not using your credit card, you need to create a new account and if you do not have multiple e-mail working , you are stuck! thanks anyway

Is it possible to use different iOS devices with the same account of the gamecenter?

Is it possible to use different iOS devices with the same account of the gamecenter? in that case, can two people play a game with the same account and add both scores to the same leaderboard nickname?

You should be able to use the same account. The top scores will get updated on the leader board.

How to create a US account with the same apple ID as my current account

I received a US itunes card given as a gift and it will not redeem in the itunes store since it says I need to have a US itunes account which I do not. Mine is from another country.
I emailed support and they said I could not use the itunes card nor can I transfer the credit to my itunes account for my country(even if it is still in US$). Though they did say that It was possible to create a US account with the same apple ID. I tried it but when I try to register a US account, in the end it says that the apple ID is taken.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

You can't use the same ID because it is possible to change countries on accounts. The other person using your ID is you! However, technically you can only use the store in a country if you are actually present in the country, and you have to have a credit card billed to an address in the country as proof.
I guess the person at Apple isn't familiar with hte details of thir own legal documents, and you would either have to try to change country on your account (which may run into issues) or start a second account in hte other country (which again may not be easy, nor legal).
The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

How do I purchase from a different iTunes store with the same Apple ID ?

I'm registered with the Australian iTunes store but the song I want is available only on the Norwegian iTunes store.
Clicking the iTunes track link from the artist's website prompts me to change to the Norwegian store, but after I do that and try to download the song it tells me that the logon details are valid only for the Australian store and invites me to register for the Norwegian one.
So, I go through the registration process for the Norwegian store only to be advised by iTunes at the last minute that "The email address you entered is already being used for an Apple Account. If it is yours, you can cancel and Sign In using that Apple Account", which of course contradicts what it told me earlier.
iTunes tests my patience at the best of times, but this seems to be deliberately and unnecessarily complex - I have an Apple ID and they have already got my payment details so what is the problem ?

This is crazy. So instead of the artist getting my 12.00Kr payment for the track, the only choice I have is to acquire it by unofficial means - it's not released here and probably never will be.
Thanks for the replies.

I'm trying to log onto app store, but I keep getting a message that my device or computer is unable to be verify. How do I verify it. However, when I use itunes, I have no problems in logging onto my account with the same apple ID

I'm trying to log onto app store, but I keep getting a message the my device or computer is unable to be verified. How do I verify it when the app store will not allow me to log onto the account even when I use my Apple ID, which works with no problem on itunes. What is up and how do I correct it now!

Check your mac's Serial Number.
Some people have problems with missing serial numbers on their Macs and that's the message you get when this happens.
Click on the Apple at the top left of the screen, open "About this Mac" and click on "More Info". You should see a list with information about your Macbook Air. Check that on the Serial Number field you have your Mac's Serial. If you have "SystemSerial#" written instead then that's your problem.
You can re-enter your serial number if you have a USB CD drive, it's not very straightforward but I can walk you through it if you need it.

Can i have 2 different email accounts on the same apple id?

I have an iPad and an iPad mini. They're both registered with my apple id, although my son uses the mini. He wants an email address and I've set one up for him. I have my email on my ipad. But the mini asks me to verify my email address as the contact address for my apple id - does that mean I can't have 2 different emails addresses?

You can have any number of devices on one Apple ID.
Secondly, each device can be set up with a range of different email addresses.
All that is required is that your Apple ID has to be verified (proven) with one email address - that means that Apple will contact you, send you receipts etc. using that email address.
I have several email addresses and have them set up differently on different apple devices so you will absolutely be able to do what you want.
One tip though - when you set up an email address, it would be worth going to whichever ISP (service provider) you are using for that email address and doing a search on the web of whatever,to find out what the best portable apple device settings would be - sometimes special settings are needed.

HT4314 I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.

Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

You can transfer iTunes content from an iTunes library on a single computer only.
Since these songs were purchased with the same iTunes account, you can download the song that is not in your iTunes library on the computer you will be syncing your iPhone with. Or you can download the song or songs direct on your iPhone.

I got a second iPad in the family. Can we use it with the same Apple account and name?

We got a second iPad in the family, cna we use it with the same Apple name and account?

Yes you can, and it's then up to you whether to have the same the same or different content to the older one. When you sync to it your computer for the first time it may be best to give it a different name, just so that you can distinguish them.

I have 2 iPhones - one for personal use and one for work. They are currently connected with the same Apple ID. I would like to separate the two accounts. Does anybody know how to do this?

Just create a new AppleID for your work.
As Allan suggested, items purchased on one iTunes account cannot be moved to the other account.
However, you can put items purchased on on account onto the other iPhone.
