How do I log use two apple ID's on the same I mac with two user accounts

I cant seem to find a thread to answer this question.
I have have one I mac, both my wife and I have a user account each, we both have our own apple ID's is there away they can be used at the same time?
As so far I can't find a way of doing this. It seems one user account can only use its apple ID for a period of 90days, If I need to use the other apple ID I have to wait.. as I get this messsage
"You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 61 days. "
Is there a way around this?

Oh...How about one APPLE account, but two different users on the computer- one being administrator, and allow admin privileges if you want, or one be admin, the other a user.
Or- what you can do, is have the second apple account, but only log in to it without involving the computer.
Or break down and get a second computer. On hers, you be guest user and on yours she be guest- then if one breaks, you can still each use in turn.
Or alternately, go to applestore or contact apple to ask...

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

    iOS does not support multiple users like a desktop OS does.
    You can use a web interface to your respective email accounts
    to keep things separate; but there is no provision for otherwise
    separating photos, media, etc.
    If you wish, you can contact Apple to let them know of your desire:

  • Can I have two apple TV boxes in the same home / wifi area, ar there any issues i should be aware of?

    can I have two apple TV boxes in the same home / wifi area, are there any issues i should be aware of?

    I was in a hotel a few month a ago.  The hotel also had a portal page you have to sign in.  Of course the ATV didn't a web browser and could not sign in to the portal and connect to the Internet, so your iTunes didn't work.  (But your ATV should be connected to the router at that point already, just the portal won't open the port to pass through your ATV's traffic)
    So what I did was to use AirVideo app on my iPad and AirVideo server on my Mac. Selected the movie on  my iPad using the AirVideo app and then selected my AirPlay device on my iPad to AppleTV.  Because this setup didn't require iTunes, so there was no need for a live Internet connection, and just a connection to the hotel router was enough.  It was very easy.
    (Of course, you can subsititude the iPad with an iPhone here too)

  • SCCM central site and primary site use the same SQL SERVER with two Instance.

    Hi  Guys,

    Although you can install like the configuration you said above, we do not recommend you do it this way. If your SQL box has  problems, all the data will go away and you will not have data redundancy.
    You need to configure the different SQL Port and SQL Broke service port e.g.
    SQL port 4023  SQL Broke Service port 4022 for CAS instance
    SQL port 4024  SQL Broke Service port 4021 for PRI instance

    I agree with Johan and this configuration should not be used. But I want to clarify that the default ports for "SQL port" (actually, SQL over TCP) is 1433 and the SQL Broker Service uses 4022. The configuration above should work but the "correct" would be
    to use 1433 and 4022 for the CAS and 10434 and 4023 for the Primary :)

  • Can two apple TV's in the same house share one itunes library?

    Can two apple TV's in the same house share one itunes library and play different movies at the same time?

    I have two ATV G2 and one ATV G1 at home with the same iTunes library. I have played two different movies in the ATVs. One interesting thing you get is that you can start one movie and pause it and then you can continue playing it in the other ATV. The iTunes controls where you pause or stop the movie.
    Agree that bandwidth is the limit here and probably the server throughput. But, so far I haven't experienced any problem.

  • Can I use my old apple tv and new apple tv together on the same network and with the same tv

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes.

  • How can i see how many people are using my apple id without changing the password ?

    how can i see how many people are using my apple id without changing because some people have it

    I'm not sure that you can. Why have so many people got your password? So many in fact, that you don't know how many.
    You can see how many computers are authorised to play any songs you have purchased from the iTunes Store, but that isn't quite the same thing.
    Perhaps a better idea would be to change the password and not let anyone else know what it is. That would at least prevent anyone else from changing it and locking you out of your own account.

  • Can I use the same nike+ sensor with two differet Ipods and register the trainings in onmly one account?

    Hello, I would like to know if I can use the same nike  Ipod sensor with two different ipods. I want to use the same sensor sometims with an Ipod touch and sometimes with an Ipod Nano, I want my trainings with both Ipods to be registered to the same account. I want them to be registered to only one account, not as it had been used by two different people.

    Of course. You should use the same AppleID on all your devices. Why would you create a new one?

  • Is there any information about using iCloud on a Mac with multiple user accounts (Mountain Lion)

    When upgrading to Mountain Lion, you are asked to sign in using your iCloud ID.  I don't understand how to set up the proper synching of "stuff" if your Mac has multiple user accounts, and they each have their own iCloud ID.
    The whole issue of supporting multiple users on a Mac and making everything easy to understand with regard to iTunes and iCloud is, in my opinion, currently in a state of disaster.  Apple needs to address this.  They have conveniently made it a non-issue on iPads by not allowing multiple users.  I can tell you that as one of the resident iOS and Apple experts in my office, most of the questions I get from others (not work-related) are on this topic.  It needs to be easier to understand and accomplish.
    Thanks in advance for any information you have on this subject.

  • TS4009 How can I change my iCloud Apple ID to be the same on all my devices?

    I am using one Apple ID for basically everything now on iTunes. But some of my devices, iPad and iPhone use a different Apple ID. Also the Cloud Apple ID is different on my Mac Pro than the Apple TV I just set up. How can I change the iCould ID on my Mac Pro so I can start photo streaming from my computer to my TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • Can we use mutltiple Apple ID's on the same iPad to download apps?

    I am trying to navigate the use of the volume purchase program at our school for purchasing apps on our iPad's. I also wondered if a person could download free apps using one Apple ID, then login out and log back in using our common Apple ID we use for the volume purchase program?

    Yes. You can have, I believe, content from up to five different iTunes Store accounts on a single iOS device.
    Regards.

  • Is it possible to run two different apple tv units on the same network and play two different movies off of my iTunes library

    Is it possible to play two different movies on two seperate apple tv units on two tvs at the same time using the same itunes library

    AC is corret you can do that.  It might work a bit better for you if you use a wired connection vs a wireless one for the ATV's.
