How do i add my wifes icloud account to my mac

my wifee just bought a new iphone 5s. How do I add her Icloud account to our mac?

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.
Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers. I have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.

    Can I add a 2nd iCloud account on my Mac?

    You could use one at once and keep switching between the two, but it would be rather messy. You can also add more than one @me mail address to mail. You could also use seperate user accounts for each iCloud account. If you tell us why you would want to have two iCloud accounts on one mac we might be able to give better advice.

  • 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!

  • TS3988 How do I set up an iCloud account without a Mac product?

    I have installed iCloud control panel on my Windows 7, and have created an Apple ID, but am told that it is not an iCloud account. I don't have another Apple product without a current iCloud account. Also, this account will be used to consolidate certain activities amongst a few individuals who have their own iCloud accounts, and we do not want to mix our personal stuff into one big puddle.
    So far, this has been frustrating, and I'm hoping for a solution, so that we can stay with an Apple platform.
    Thanks for the help.

    There is no way to setup iCloud on a PC, it must be setup first on a compatible Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

  • How do I change my primary iCloud account on my mac to a different I cloud account

    I have two Icloud accounts.  I would like to change my primary account on my mac to the other one.

    To remove iCloud: go to http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmb1de40d9 and expand 'Turn off iCloud completely' for instructions. Then you can set up again from scratch.

  • How do I add a second email account to my Mac?

    I have tried looking at videos and posts about how to do it, and followed all the directions that require me to click file, add account and so on.  I have added the account I need, but it will not connect to the internet and I'm not sure why.  It is my school account, and we are required to change the password every 90 days, I dont know if that has anything to do with the activation, but it shouldn't because my friends receive their emails from the same account on their iphones.  If you can help I'd greatly appreciate it!

  • How can I change the active iCloud account in my Mac

    My doughter set up the cloud in my mac, but she used her apple id. Now I cannot change the icloud active account from hers to mine. What can I do?

    Click the apple >> system preferences >> iCloud >> sign out.  Then sign back in with the desired apple id.  Some data will be removed when you sign out.  You can export data you want to keep first, sign out, then reimport.  If it's just your daughter's info, then this probably won't matter to you.

  • How can I add my previous icloud storage from my old iTunes ID to my new icloud  account

    how can I add my previous icloud storage from my old iTunes ID to my new icloud  account,

    "So, is it possible to sync/merge/move/share those purchased apps from the old apple-ID to a new apple-ID?"
    No.
    Sorry.
    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased, and will always have to be updated using that account.

  • How do I get a new icloud account for my phone when it was setup with my wifes account?

    How do I get a new icloud account for my phone when it was setup with my wifes account?

    Go to Settings>iCloud and sign out. Any synced data, such as calendars and contacts, will be removed.
    To get a new ID: go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new ID - you will need a different non-Apple email address from any ID you already have.
    Then go back to Settings>iCloud and sign in there, enabling any data types you want to sync in the list there. You will be asked to create a new @icloud.com address when enabling Mail.

    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.
