iCloud and AppleID on iPad

This Christmas technology is going to be the protagonist again, and many of you are going to have a new device at home, and most likely one of them will be an iPad or an iPhone. When configuring the device, one of the first steps to do is enter our iCloud and AppleID accounts. Many of you sure you think they should be the same, but not much less. Rather the complete opposite, having different accounts for both services has many advantages.

Let's start with the AppleID, since it is the first thing that is done when someone acquires an Apple device. To understand each other, it is our identity before Apple, our account associated with a credit card with which we can buy applications for our iPad in the App Store, for our Mac in the Mac App Store, and Apple products and accessories in the Apple Store on-line.

On the other hand, iCloud account is the one we use for cloud storage and the synchronization of data between our devices. It may be the same as the AppleID, of course, or it may not. We can get a free account from Apple, of the type "icloud.com" and it will also serve as email, or if we prefer, we can use any email we want (gmail, hotmail, yahoo ...) as an identity for iCloud. This account is the one that will be used to synchronize data between all the devices that are identified with the same iCloud account: our photos, documents, game data, backup copies, find my iPad ... We can have everything synchronized between them.

Once you have seen the differences between both accounts, How do i configure my device?. Well, regarding the AppleID it is easy: use the same AppleID for all your devices, and when I say all, I mean those of your house, family ... I have 4 iPhones, 2 iPad, 1 iMac and 1 Macbook configured with the same AppleID . Why? Well, because that way everything I buy on one of the devices I can download for free on any of the others. The same AppleID means that you only have to buy once, which represents a significant saving.

When we talk about iCloud, things are a bit more complex. You must use the same iCloud account for those devices you want to share data. going back to my own example: my iPhone 5, my iPad and my iMac have the same iCloud account, to have all the data synchronized between them (photos, Safari bookmarks, documents ...), but my wife's iPhone 4S, her iPad and your Macbook have their own iCloud account, so my contacts, photos, and documents don't get mixed up with yours. We could say that each person should have their own iCloud account, to have their own data and not someone else's.

I hope it has been clear how to configure your devices, remember that we have also talked about how to set up iMessage (Messages), which will be very useful for you to each device receives your messages and not others.

    I have already separated the accounts. Now I have a little problem: in the AppStore the applications that I have installed or purchased do not appear, it gives me the price and when installing them it already tells me that I had bought it, how do I get it to already buy it ????

    1.    Luis_Padilla said

      In theory it should appear. It may be a one-off failure. If you access your purchased applications, nothing appears? In any case, if when downloading it detects that you already bought it, there is no major problem.

      1.    David moreno garcia said

        In bought yes that they leave to me. But imagine that I see a game that I have deleted for a long time and I see that it costs € 3, I don't remember if I had it before. So if I am lazy to pay those € 3 and it turns out that it is not necessary because I already bought it at the time, but since the option to install it does not appear… .. only the price. I would have to look at purchased to see if I already had it from before and with all the number of applications that I have purchased …… I hope it solved itself. If not, do you recommend restoring the iPad?
        PS: the same thing happens to me on iphone having separated the accounts. Automatic downloads go perfectly.

        1.    Luis_Padilla said

          I would wait to see if it will be solved in a while, and if not, maybe as you say, restoring it will be solved.

          1.    David moreno garcia said

            It seems to be solved only in the end. It already shows me the option to install instead of the price if I already had the app purchased. It seems to me that it had something to do with the fact that the AppStore was closed
            Thanks for your attention, you do a very good job
            Greetings and merry christmas !!!

            1.    Luis_Padilla said

              Glad it was fixed. Thanks for confirm!!!

        Friend kisiera k help me the account of my iphone 4 I have forgotten the id and the password and also the email as I would do to recover all my info Thank you Help me

  2.   Jose Manuel Marqueta Sanchez said

    The same thing happens to me too, but with a single ID for everything, it is a bug that the AppStore has, see if they solve it soon.

  3.   Isaak haro said

    Hi, I'm Isaac, new to apple technology. Thank you very much for the explanation, very clear. Now I just have one question, if my iPad is second-hand and I create a new icloud, ¶ is everything already on the iPad deleted or uninstalled or kept?

    1.    Luis_Padilla said

      Just agenda, calendars and stuff. The applications do not touch them.

    I have an identity with my email account but it is not valid as an iCloud identity. I need more precise help as it does not give me any option to create an ICloud identity

      What type of email account do you have?

        Hotmail.com

        1.    Luis Padilla said

          Well, this type of email allows you to create an iCloud account without problems, I can confirm it. How do you try to create it? What error message does it give you? The problem may be that it is associated with another Apple account and that is why it does not allow it.

    I have a second-hand iPad 2, and all the time it synchronizes with the one of the previous owner, and the applications that I download are blocked, how can I cancel the synchronization from my iPad

      Enter Settings-iCloud and change the account for yours

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      If the iCloud account you have right now is that of the previous user, you will not lose anything because it is not your data, it is theirs.

  9.   Diana Crush said

    Hi Luis! I consult you because maybe I do not capture the information and I end up messing it up ... I'll tell you: At the moment I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad2 both with the same Appleid and I have the applications that I buy in one available for the other device, so far everything is splendid , The problem is icloud, for the iPad everything is perfect, but on my iPhone is the account of a related family member, based on the fact that he will give me his password and erase it from the device along with his backup, (find my iPhone, calendar, notes) ... etc MILLIONAIRE QUESTION what would happen to the 5 gb icloud on my iPhone? Would you lose them? Or can I safely link it to another account and keep it? I would really appreciate it, you will save me a heart attack 🙂

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      Do you mean the 5Gb of the account you have on the iPad? Not at all, each iCloud account is independent, and you can keep whatever you want. Even if you don't use them on any device, they are there, for when you want to use them.

  10.   Roberto said

    Buenas tardes. I have an IPhone 4 and an IPhone 5 with the same accounts and identifiers. In addition, I synchronize with ITunes on the same computer.
    So that the applications that I download on the IPhone 5 do not appear on the iPhone 4 I have to change the ICloud account of the IPhone 4, right? Once this is done, do I have to do the synchronizations with ITunes on different computers or can I do them on the same computer as before?
    Thank you

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      You do not need to change the account, you only need to deactivate the automatic downloads of applications within the Settings-App Store.

  11.   miguel angel said

    Hello Luis, I don't know if I find out well, but let's see if you can help me, I have had an ipad 2 for 2 years and it will be about 6 months for my daughter's communion they gave her an ipad mini, right now they are both with my id , but everything I download appears to her and vice versa, she already wants to have this as her own without us crossing the applications, what do you recommend ... greetings and thanks

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      You can disable automatic downloads in Settings> App Store, so that the applications are not downloaded to your device, but keep the same Apple ID, or use a different Apple ID, but of course, it will start from scratch, having to pay for applications that you already bought.

  12.   Dani said

    I have a reverse question: we have a 4s and a 4 and a family ipad air, can I have the icloud photos of the two iphone on the ipad?

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      If you all have them with the same iCloud ID, yes.

      1.    Dani said

        But then, the contacts, mail and such would be mixed ??? Another question, in the 4s the wifi has remained in "gray" to synchronize the photos with icloud, can I do it through dl usb dl pc?

        1.    Luis Padilla said

          Yes, of course, everything you activate in Settings-iCloud will be merged on all devices.

          ICloud photos cannot be synced with iTunes.

          1.    Dani said

            First of all, thank you… the question is if I cannot share the connection of the PC via usb as with the iphone but the other way around…

            1.    Luis Padilla said

              Well, I think that is not possible ...

Pork I don't know if he put the option to erase this device from his icloud, although the icloud he has now is mine. I will appreciate your help, greetings.

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      It will ask for yours, since it is the one you have active on your device now.

        Luis Good afternoon, I have a problem and I need your help. My ipad is used by my girlfriend for a few months, she entered her apple address, icloud, etc, Now I need to use it again, but it does not recognize her keys to start from scratch and enter my apple and icloud, even when requesting to send mail to enter a new key , does not send them. I can't use it because I can't sync my mail, or download applications, nothing. Try to change the apple id directly on the ipad and it doesn't give me the option either, when synchronizing it with itunes nothing ... Please help me because if how are we going it will cost me the pololeo .. haha
        Thank you very much.

  18.   Koko said

    Thank you very much for the help it has helped me a lot, I have another question, I have another iPad 4 but this is 3 g, the previous owner deactivated his icloud, the detail is that when he removed the chip he asked for activation again, and when he wants to activate it by Wi-Fi media has asked for an icloud account, and when activating with the data chip in place, it does not ask for it, only that you have to remove and insert the chip very quickly and quickly insert it again, the ipad restarts and enters the system normally, I have Strange fact, we still do not put our own icloud account, you think that when putting it on it will no longer open a problem when removing the data chip, or that it asks us again for the activation of an old icloud account, I feel the ipad not having any configuration of iCloud account so it asks for activation when removing the data chip, the ipad is released, what can you advise me?

    Hello! I entered a fake email for my iCloud account. Now that I want to update the iOS of my iPad it does not allow it because it says that the "account has not been verified". My question is: if I put "delete account" and make another one, will my photos be deleted ?????? Please help!!!!! : /

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      If the photos are on your device, no problem, because when you add the new account, the backup will be uploaded to that backup and you will have no problem. But make sure you do the copy once the new account is added.

    Hi Luis,
    I have an ipad 2 and an iphone 5 with the same id and the same iCloud account.
    So I use the 5Gigas of iCloud for the two devices.
    I wonder, how can I change the iCloud account to take advantage of the free 5gigas of iCloud for my iphone? What if I can do it without restoring, and if I don't lose the photos that are already stored on both devices? All the best

  22.   Luis Padilla said

    You will not lose photos, since the ones that are stored on your device are not deleted. You just have to go to Settings-iCloud, deactivate the current account and enter a new account. But you will no longer have the accounts synchronized between your iPhone and iPad, as they are different.

    Good afternoon, I have a problem, it turns out that I bought a second-hand iPhone 4 and it asked me for the Apple ID and password to activate it, I went to the owner and unlocked it with his data, then I could create a new account to have my own data and everything turned out fine, but recently I restored my iPhone 4 because it did not start, and at the moment of starting it asks me again for my ID, adds mine and does not let me advance it tells me that "it cannot be used to unlock this iPhone", that I can do?

    Hello, I have my iPad and we bought one for my girl but they gave us the same id and what she downloads appears to me as I do to change the id to one of her own, and if changing it will erase my information from my iPad, I want her to let's each have their own

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      That's easy and you don't have to switch accounts. You just have to go into Settings-App Store and deactivate automatic downloads.

  26.   Gerardo said

    Luis, your grades are excellent. I have a problem and I don't know how to solve it. My son lost the iPod 5 and I want to search for it through a laptop with W8 and when I enter find my iPod it sends me to the icloud account. I downloaded it to the laptop and then when I start it with my son's account I get the following message «This Apple ID is valid, but an iCloud account does not correspond» so I can't find the iPod… ..I can't believe it . Can you help me? Greetings

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      You don't use the proper email. The AppleID is the account that allows you to buy from iTunes, which may or may not be the iCloud account. You used another email for iCloud on that iPod. Login to your Apple account (https://appleid.apple.com/) in Manage your Apple account, and check which emails you have associated with, it should be one of them.

    Can you help me?

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      Changing the account on an iPad has nothing to do with losing data on the other iPad. What you will lose are the "advantages" of having the same account in both.

  33.   Ana said

    I have a problem: the other day I recovered a message that my gmail account had been deleted for security reasons because they had tried to enter. Then create a new account and also a new Apple ID. The problem is that in icloud the old gmail address continues and of course if I put an old password it does not work because the account is deleted. It does not let me delete that account and put the new one because it asks me for a password for something that no longer exists.
    Also with the new apple id I cannot update any application: instagram, itunes.
    I do not know what to do because it is as if the new ID was not recognized even though it is put in iTunes and with iCloud I do not know how to delete the old account and put a new one. Maybe all the problems are associated but I don't know what to do anymore
    Thank you!!!

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      Well, I don't know what to tell you ... The best thing is to speak directly to Apple and find a solution.

  34.   Paloma said

    Good afternoon, Luis. Although my problem may not be related to what is said here, I am going to ask you why I am at a dead end. My iPad was giving me problems so I phoned the store where I bought it and they gave me some explanations to reformat it. I'm trying to do it but when I install my Gmail mail (always) I see that, in the "steps" they tell me to do it better with Exchange, I do it and, when I put the password, it gives me an error, as if it did not recognize it. I challenge the password, I tried to change it to others…. Seven gives the same error. That could be happening ? I want to install the same email, I don't want a new one, although that error may possibly disappear, I want mine. What I can do ? I have called Google to install it and they have guided me very well, but in the end I continued by myself ... and that's when I got an error. I called again but they no longer catch me.

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      Do it with GMail, not with exchange. Google has long since abandoned support for this service and only old accounts already activated and old devices can do it.

      There have been problems with Apple services that you foresee are now resolved. Try now to see

  39.   Abel said

    Hi Luis, I have bought a new iPhone to upgrade from 3GS, and I have doubts regarding the ID and iCloud. Let's see if you can give me a hand because I'm really lost…!

    My Apple ID is a normal email address, roll xxx@xxx.org. Right now with this ID I have my iPhone 3GS and my Mac synchronized, contacts, calendars, etc ... But not the notes. When I click on the Notes option, it asks me to choose an email address with @ icloud.com, it gives me no other option.

    The question is: what should I do if I want to synchronize these notes that are "locally" on the iPhone so that they appear on my mac and on my new iphone? If I create this email @ icloud.com, will calendars, contacts, etc… stop syncing? Will I lose any information?

    Thank you!

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      You must create an account @ icloud.com. generally one is created the same as your normal email but with that ending. It is a requirement to be able to synchronize notes. Then you can use either of the two interchangeably in your iCloud id.

  40.   Abel said

    Thanks for your quick response!

    But what about the contacts, calendars, and other information that are now synced to my Apple ID?

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      In principle they should be the same account in reality. That is, you can use the two interchangeably.

  41.   Abel said

    And it doesn't matter if I create my @icloud from my iphone or from my mac? It's that I'm afraid of losing info ... 😛

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      Does not matter. Anyway, you don't have to worry because the worst that can happen is that your new account is associated with the iPhone. By going out and putting the old one in, you won't have lost anything.

      It will be deleted from her, but not from iCloud or from your devices.

    Hi Luis . I have a phone4, I can't See my Emails. My question is if I have to change my email address if I update my Cloud Drive ??? Or I can make another one without changing My email address for a long time. Greetings

    Hi Luis, I have a big problem and I don't know if you can support me, my IPad mini 2 has just been stolen, I wanted to search with the APP to find my iPhone and added the Apple id and password but I get a message that says: the ID Apple is valid but I do not have an iCloud account. How can I track my equipment? Or what other method can I use? I tried Apple support but when I entered the serial number of the iPad it indicates that the support service is expired. I thank you in advance for your attention and kindness in answering this message. ??

      Find My iPhone works with the iCloud account, which does not have to match the AppleID. Did you have this function enabled in the Settings? Did you use that same icloud account?

    Good morning Luis, and thanks in advance.
    They have reset the Ipad because it did not turn on, now to activate it it asks me for the ID and password, I write my correct ID, and it tells me that it is not valid.
    I have entered iclod with that ID without problem, but it tells me that I have no devices.
    I can do?

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      It looks like that iPad was with another iCloud account and needs that same one to activate. Go to this website: https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/ and enter the serial number (it comes behind) to see if it is blocked as I indicate

    Good evening, because my problem is identical to the last one, to Carmen's.
    I have reset the ipad (which belongs to my uncle) because it was deactivated, now it asks me for the previous id, which I did not remember because that ipad was also used by her daughter for quite some time.
    Finally we get the id and reset the passwords. I thought it had already been solved ... but no way.
    Login to iCloud with the same id and without problems, the only thing is that it did not recognize the device.
    I thought it would be because I had not yet put the password on the ipad, but it is that when entering the id and password to activate it, it tells me that this account cannot be used to activate it 🙁
    I'm trapped, I don't know what else to do.
    By the way, I put the imei on the page you left and it actually says that it is blocked ...
    Any suggestions? ... If I restored the ipad with a different version, one that I downloaded manually for example, do you think it would help?
    Anyway, greetings and thanks in advance.

    I have a question, is it possible that my girlfriend's mother can see the photos of my girlfriend that she has on her cell phone from her cell phone or something like that? With any program? It is not shared each one has an icloud account ...

    hello good morning, I have a question about my phone recently I gave an iPhone 4s and today that I realized the same data that I have notes, photos, etc ... My question is if I delete any notes or photos would that person also delete the note or a photo from my phone ???

    Good morning I have a little problem, my son has an ipad mini and it turns out that he cannot download anything because he tells him to log in, he has both icloud and app store in gray, that is, we cannot touch anything. We do not know what happened we would like to give us a hand since the ipad no longer has a guarantee and they charge us for it. It is as if the ipad is not logged in and there is no way to do it. In the app (highlighted) neither the balance we have on the card nor anything appears. I await your answer, thank you

      It is best if you restore the device and log in when setting it up. Connect to iTunes and click on Restore. Everything will be erased and it will be as fresh from the factory.

  53.   White said

    Hello, thanks for the answer but there is no other way to do it ??? How can I save the photos and videos?

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      You could download them to your computer, you just have to connect it via USB and it will detect it as if it were a camera.

  54.   Luis said

    I can't create an ID account every time I put one to register it tells me that it has ESOECIAL CHARACTERS, I have already tried many and they all put the same thing on me

    Hi Luis, I have a problem with my tablet because it turns out that I want to delete an account. I know that I have to enter the word iCloud and everything else, I just accidentally turn off the word where it says mail and now I cannot enter any information because I can no longer activate the word mail if you can give me an answer. I'd be very gratefull ..

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      I don't understand you well. I think you have disabled iCloud mail. All you have to do is activate it again. Anyway, if what you want is to delete the iCloud account, you don't need to have the email active, just hitting delete is enough.

    Hello! look I have an iphone 5c in icloud at the time of setting it up I have placed an email that is not mine at the time that I want to close that account, it asks me for the password and then I do not have it, at the top I get that the account verification is He has sent the mail to do it, but as I repeat that mail is not mine, it is not known where or to whom it will reach, for help, how can I do to work with my ID

    Hello! I hope you can help me… I have the facebook app on my ipad with my account. It turns out that my nephew logged in with his, then I closed it and opened it again with mine. So far everything normal. It turns out that I go to chrome, reading the newspaper there is a note that I want to share, when I do it it is published on my nephew's wall despite my session being the one started. Do you know what I can do?

    I am thinking of acquiring a second-hand iPhone 6 only that my colleague at work forgot his iCloud account, my question is if I restore it from the factory when I ask for the iCloud account, can I put the one that I currently use in my 4S

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      If you have "Find my iPhone" activated, you must deactivate it or it will be blocked

  59.   Lissette said

    Hello, I have an iPad, a few weeks ago I could not access my iCloud because I forgot the password !. I have tried and tried to put the same password in «settings» where it says icloud, I put my email ID, the new password and it tells me that the message is sent correctly, when I open the email it tells me that both email and password are incorrect , but I write both correctly but I still get wrong. My desire is that if I create another ID account on my iPad, could all my apps and photos be deleted because all the information is together with that email? Or can I create another account ID and it is not deleted? Or it would be the same to me ... I create the account but would it be possible for me to buy the apps again?
    It would be nice of you if you help me.

    I need help! I have stopped using my icloud account since 2014 and now I want to go back in to look for some photos that I had in that account with an ipad and it turns out that today (27-4-2020) when I try to enter from my Windows computer to the Apple's page won't let me. I have tried to retrieve my ID and it cannot find me. The data I enter is legitimate and it seems that Apple has wiped me off their map. Will there be some way for me to get my account back. Thanks a lot.
