How to create separate iCloud accounts with one apple ID?
In my family we have an iPad and 3 iPhones. However, all devices are using the same iCloud account so only 1 phone is fully backed up. How do we create separate iCloud accounts but keep the same apple ID?
Thanks in advance
Added (1). Is this possible in a way that we can share purchases?
No such thing, your icloud account is your apple id.
You can't do it that way, you have to create separate Apple iTunes IDs for each person. Sign out of the account, then create a new account. Sync up one of the other devices with that account, via the cloud, then repeat the process for each device in turn.
[EDIT] I just saw your added information. If you want to share purchases, then you have to share the same ID, and all the apps will be the same on all the devices. It's an all or nothing deal, I'm afraid. If the apps are free ones, you can download them individually to the devices, so you can all have the apps of your choice. If they are chargeable (cost money to download) then you can only have them on the same devices by using one Apple ID. If you share an ID, and one person deletes an app from their device, it will be deleted from all the devices. If one person buys an app, everyone will have the same app, whether they want it or not.
This also applies to music, pics and videos, where all media files will be on each device. So you will all have the same music, the same pics, the same videos, etc.
- Need to create 3 iTunes accounts on one computer? So we have three iPhones that currently share the same iTunes account, and we really need to create separate accounts for each one, because all of our information is being shared. How do we create the accounts without losing all of our data? I really need an answer As soon as possible.
- My aunt and uncle have the same Apple ID. I think they need separate ones, do they? I've told them to get separate ones in the event that they need to back up their phones or get new ones. Don't they need separate ones? They hardly back up their phones or hook up their iPhones to the computer.
- Is it possible to create a new apple ID on an iMac and keep the old one? I'm a teenage kid and have my own Mac Book and iPhone, then the family has an iPad and iMac desktop. All four devices are under my apple ID, but I don't want the Desktop or iPad under my ID anymore. Is it possible to create a new apple ID for the desktop and iPad but keep the existing ID for my iPhone and Mac book?
- If I have used two iTune accounts and delete an app that I downloaded on my first one, can i re download it on my second one? I want to update an app on my iPhone, however, that app was downloaded on another iTunes account that i used to use and don't remember the password to. If I delete the app and re download it, can I download it on the current account that I use
