How can I set up more than one iCloud account on a single Mac?

I just want to start with the very basics. My wife and I each have an iCloud account. We both want to check our iCloud e-mail in the Mail Application without user switching. Is this possible? How do we set it up? Is it also possible to each manager our own calendars (iCal) and contacts (Address Books) without user switching? Put aside all iTunes issues for now. Just worried about iCloud: two iCloud IDs. One Mac.

Any one user account on the Mac can have more than one iCloud account signed into, but only the first one set up will sync Calendars and Contacts. You would probably be able to enter the second account's server details manually into the Mail application to that it would access both accounts: setup details here:

However the best way to do this is certainly for each of you to have your own user account on the Mac, setting up Fast User Switching to prevent having to keep logging in and out - then each account can set up the owner's iCloud account and do all the syncing and other facilities.

How can I set up more than one iCloud account on my pc?

I would like more than one photo stream to save to my pc. I have an iCloud setup up on my pc so that my pc can save the photo stream pictures from an ipad and iphone (each have the same id). I also have a second iphone with a separate icloud/apple id, and I would like pictures from that photo stream to be saved to the same pc. Is this possible to do? I don't see any options to 'add an acount' in my iCloud control panel.

How can you set up more than one device on iTunes. I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices.

How can you set up more than one device on iTunes? I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices. I have all my music/videos on iTunes on my mac book pro. Can you set up separate folders for each device and drop in what ever music/videos from the main iTunes library?

In itunes it is called syncing and you can choose exactly what content to sync to all devices and it can be different for all of them

Hi, how can i open up more email accounts (hotmail)? I have accidentally merged 2 - not sure how but urgently need to access others and cannot run this risk! thx

Hotmail is not part of the Mac OS - I'd check their website (Hotmail or Microsoft) to see how to do it.

You can only set one domain name. You can of course use other means to forward the other two to the one you have put in your .Mac Account Settings.

How can I set up more than one quiz in one presentation

I would like to be able to keep score on different types of quizes I have set up in one presentation. Meaning I have 20 multipule choice, 15 match, 17 true false, and 5 math problems in one presentation. I'd like to be about to score them seperately and set the questions up in numerical order so that if I put the multiple choice and the math as back to back quizes they are numbered as 1-20 and 1-5 and not 1-35

To do this, you'd have to set up your own user variables to track whether or not certain quiz questions had been done, remove the normal Captivate progress indicator and replace it with your own caption displaying your custom variables.
Don't forget that no matter how YOU think your quiz is divided up, as far as Captivate is concerned, you just have one big quiz (unless your on Cp6 which also now gives you the option of having a PreQuiz).

HT1473 how can I download an more than one audio cd to itunes, scramble all and then transfer all back to a R/W cd?

how can I download an more than one audio cd to itunes, scramble all and then transfer all back to a R/W cd?

Import the CDs to iTunes one at a time, following these instructions.
Once the tracks are in your iTunes library, put them into a playlist, and get them into the order you want. Or if you by "scramble" you mean a randomly shuffled order, use the crossing arrows at the lower left to do so.
When you are ready, insert a blank CD, use the command File > Burn Playlist to Disc, and create an audio CD. I strongly suggest using CD-Rs rather than CD-RWs, since the latter often have trouble in normal CD players.

HT4897 I have more than one iCloud account.... Once an email alias is deleted from one account.... can it then be used by another account? If so, how long after it's deletion before it's made available?

Aliases remain tied forever to the account which created them. They cannot be moved to another account, converted to a full account, nor reinstated after being deleted.

Contacts & iCloud: can you have more than one iCloud account syncing with Contacts on the Mac?

I want to set up a shared iCloud account for multiple users in a (very) small office environment, where several new iOS devices and, for the moment, two Macs (2012 13" MacBook Pro and 2013 Mac Mini) will be able to read/write to a shared Contacts account – and at the same time maintain a second, personal iCloud account linked to the same Contacts app on one machine, which account's contacts data will remain private and inaccessible to the other Macs/devices which are likewise using the shared account.
Can this be done? (I.e., can Contacts app on a Mac include separate iCloud accounts?)
If so, how to set it up?
Thanks

Thanks for your answer. There's no problem with others accessing that Mac – it's used by one person only – my question is can you add a second iCloud account to Contacts. Over the past two days I had tried to add the shared iCloud account to Contacts and kept getting failures. But maybe the server was down or the ISP was weird: your response assumes it can be done and so, to my embarrassment, I tried again just now and violá, it's done. Thanks again.
P.S. Finding a simple presentation that makes clear you can have more than one iCloud accounts syncing to Contacts at the same time was very hard to find, either from Apple or others on the web. Maybe I don't know how to search, but they could do with a clear explanation of this for the uninitiated.

HT204053 can I have more than one iCloud account?

I have a personal iCloud account, but would like to set up an iCloud account for my business that I can share between my associates. A tech at the appple store suggested it, but now I'm unsure if or how to do it. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes you can use more than one iCloud account, however you can only have one primary iCloud account.
Secondary accounts can be added at system preferences >mail, contacts & calendars. Note, secondary accounts can only use mail, contacts, calendars and cannot utilise things like photo stream.

HT2480 setting up more than one exchange account for iphone

Does anyone know how to set up more than one exchange account??

What you have is an alias email address to a primary email account.
You cannot create separate email accounts in Mail that share the same user name, password and incoming mail server due to the account and associated mailbox filing structure at the Finder level. When creating an email account in Mail, an account named folder is created at the first level within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account which is why you cannot create multiple accounts that share the same user name and incoming mail server.
To add an alias email address to a primary account, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the account preferences at the Email Address field, add the alias email addresses to the email address for the primary account separated by a comma - [email protected], [email protected], etc.
All incoming messages for all email addresses will be deposited in the Inbox mailbox for the primary email account. If you want to separate messages by email address to a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox, you must create the mailboxes first and then create a rule to move messages received by email address.
When composing a message, the alias email addresses will be available via the account pop-up selection window just below the message header.
