How do I add a new iCloud account to the same computer?

My wife has a new iPad. We use the same computer so I want her to have her new iCloud account on our computer. I have a iCloud account already.

This solved my problem. However, she has to log in to use her account which means I have to log out. It would be nice to be able to log in and log out with a few clicks of the mouse but that is probably asking too much.
Thanks for your help!

    how do i set up multiple iCloud accounts on the same mac?

    Interesting - I was sure I'd seen a note somewhere that it was only Mail, but this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020
    does say
    Your secondary iCloud accounts can be set up and viewed in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on your iOS device, or Apple () menu > System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on OS X Lion. You may choose to do this if you have a second iCloud account and need to access its Mail, Contacts, or Calendar data. 
    Note: While you can configure multiple iCloud Mail accounts in iOS, Push mail will only work for the primary iCloud account in iOS. Secondary account(s) will check for mail based on the settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data.
    It's not something I can test - I suppose the second account's data gets added to the lists in iCal and Address Book?

  • How do I install a new Exchange account with the same address as my old Exchange account and have my bcc mail not go to the old account?

    I have an iPhone 5s running iOS8 and an iPad, up to date.  I have recently changed my mail server but not my email address.  My "old" mail account is an Exchange account and I have also set up a "new" Exchange account with the same address but with the new mail server details.  When I receive outside, third party emails they are routed correctly to the "new" Exchange account but when I bcc myself or receive other emails from any account with my domain name the emails are routed to my "old" Exchange account.  I have changed the default account settings to the "new" Exchange account.  Also, if I send myself an email from my laptop, through the new mail service provider, it is routed correctly on my laptop but incorrectly on my iPhone and iPad.  It appears as though the Apple products have cached my email address and routing and won't look to pick up the new mail server details. I don't see anything in the mail account settings or contacts that allows me to refresh or clear the cache.  The result is I now have mail in 2 accounts. If I can get the misdirected mail from the odl account to the new one I will then make the old account inactive.  Anyone have any ideas on this one?
    Thanks in advance for your time and ideas,

    Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

  • How can i run 2 i tunes accounts on the same computer without songs duplicating?

    my wife and I both have ipods, how do you run an account each on the same computer without files syncing on both ipods/ libraries?

    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • How do I share music between user accounts on the same computer?

    My wife and I have separate user accounts on the same MacBook Pro so that we can both sync our phones to this computer. My account is the primary user account, and my iTunes library is stored in this account. My wife would like to put music on her iPhone so she can run, but I can't seem to access the music library thru her account. I know the files are all on the hard drive regardless, so I just need to know how I can make iTunes on my wife's account access the library that's there. I've tried the steps I could find on Apple's website, but I can't seem to make it work. I'm running the latest versions of everything - even tho the post says I'm running 10.9.1, I'm actually running 10.9.4

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

  • Can my wife and I each have an iCloud Account on the same computer?

    I didn't find any information documents that stated if two different iCloud accounts could exist on the same computer (iMac).
    Would appreciate and help to answer my question.

    Yes,  Just create a separate user account on your Mac for your wife to use.  You can setup Fast User Switching in the System/Users & Groups preference pane
    so it's easy to switch back and fourth via the Menu bar:

  • HT1386 How do I merge two separate itunes accounts on the same computer?

    I set up a new account on my Mac computer. The original account (that still exists) has all of my itunes music in it (it is a shared computer, but I decided to set up my own account), but the new one doesn't. How do I transfer the music from my phone to the new itunes account or merge the two?
    Basically the itunes library on the new account is empty, so I can't sync it with my phone or else it will delete all of the music on my phone.

    Creating a new user on your computer is the easiest way to keep the media separated.
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    Remember that you can only use media and apps with the account they were bought with.

  • How can I have multiple I-tunes accounts on the same computer?

    So I have a mac, and my brother has his i-tunes account on it. Earlier today I set up my mom's account. All of my brother's songs were on her account, and when I deleted a song from her library, it was also deleted from my brother's library! My mom wants to upload all of her CD's onto her account, but if it is also going on my brother's account, he won't have anymore space for his songs. Is this normal? How do I get these two accounts to have nothing to do with each other? They don't want the same songs as one another.

    Yes. Get an external hard drive if you need more space.
    Everybody should have their own copies. Sharing copies of music does not work for long, since one person's change can affect others, as you observed.

  • Can you have two different itunes account on the same computer

    how can you have 2 different itunes accounts on the same computer?

    You would need two seperate users on the computer. Then each library would be independent of each other. Or do you mean two seperate iTunes store accounts?

    The 4G/iOS 6 does not have an Activation Lock. That started with iOS 7.
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    How do I add a new Mail account on my iPad with IOS 6.0.1?

    You should not need to enter anything. the iCloud service is one of the  preconfigured options.
    Just choose the iCloud type from the Add new Mail screen, and enter your details in the next screen.
    If you don't have the iCloud option, but instead have the mobileMe option then you will need to update your iOS.

    If my husband add a new iCloud account to his iPhone 5, will he be "locked out" because he's using a new Apple ID to do it? Does he have to use a new Apple ID to create a new iCloud account? He set up his phone using my Apple ID because we didn't know any better. Now we want to separate calendars/contacts, but are afraid of the 90-day lockout.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can change the Apple ID without any problem. On his device, go to Settings > iCloud > Delete account and login with his Apple ID so he'll get his information. iCloud needs an Apple ID, so if he hasn't got one, he must create an Apple ID > http://appleid.apple.com
    When you delete the iCloud account, all the information will be deleted, so I recommend you to turn off each service before deleting iCloud
