Can I have more than one authorisation on one Macbook?

Trying to figure out how to amalgamate two ageing laptops' content...
I've read loads on how to get the two libraries (my wife's and mine) onto a new MBP, but I guess I'm still a bit scared that I'll find when I try to authorise it to play music from my old library, it'll be fine, but when I try to authorise it to play something from hers, it'll say I'm unable to change the authorisation for 90 days.
Is it a case of turning off Match and Auto downloads for both of us on our old laptops & devices, then cracking on?
Also- My wife backs up to iCloud, and my Match has just been turned off on my phone and iPad- I'm hoping we can both play our music and sync devices... otherwise my phone is also backed up to iCloud too- will we both able to do this with the one MBP, or will we run into issues?
Bearing in mind we could have bought two new Windows laptops and everything else we needed to maintain the current set-up for a little over half what we've now spent, and I've entered into a phone contract with far more data it's understandable why I'm in the doghouse. Apple products remain in their packaging until I can find out whether we have messed up royally and need to return them under the distance selling regs in favour of two ordinary laptops. We really shouldn't need two laptops just because of this, that would be ridiculous.

An iPhone can handle only one cellular service provider line at one time.
You can add other lines, but they will not be from your cellular service provider and in general use your cellular data allowance (or wifi).
I would recommend checking into Google Voice, which makes an excellent central line:
http://google.com/voice

Pinger's TextFree with Voice is one of the best voice/texting services I've tried:

Whistle Phone has both an iPhone and a Mac app:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/whistle-phone/id322326573?mt=8
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/whistle-phone/id406437897?mt=12
There are lots of other "lines" you can add to to your phone, such as iCall and Line2, all of which will work nicely (along with your cell number and home/office landlines) with Google Voice.

  • Can I have more than one e-mail address attached to my apple account?

    I can't seem to create different FaceTime accounts using different e-mail addresses but with 1 Apple account. My daughter's IPod is attached to my Apple account, but I want to use her e-mail address for her FaceTime app. Any thoughts?

    You create an @icloud.com address in the first place by signing into Settings>iCloud with your Apple ID and choosing an addres - you can only create an @icloud.com address, not @me.com.
    Then if you want further addresses on the same account you can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

  • Can i have more than one icloud account on my apple id

    Can I have more than one icloiud account on one apple id

    No: but it costs nothing to create another Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with that. The only caveat is that you must associate a different email address with the new Apple ID from that with the old ID (since the address will itself become the ID) - you could open a free email address with Yahoo or Gmail.

  • Can you have more than one apple id on one mac?

    Also i was wondering if you can create a separate apple id but keep your music/podcasts/audiobooks and transfer them to the new apple id.  Please help

    You can use different IDs for different accounts, i.e. one for iCloud, one for ASC one for iTunes etc etc. Apple don't really recommend this, but plenty do it.
    You can also have more than one iCloud account (obviously need different IDs), but you can only have one primary iCloud account on each device.
    You cannot transfer purchases from one account to another.

  • HT2731 can i have more than one apple id on a computer? As when we go away we want to facetime from our macpro to our main mac at home and both are registered under the same apple ID. Thanks

    Can you have more than one apple id on a computer. We are going away and want to facetime from our macpro to the mac computer at home but both are registered under the same apple ID. What should we do ?

    I will share with you what I have done to manage this with my family.  While the solution isn't without flawes, it seems to do the trick.  First, you need to have one person who is managing the synching of everyone's devices.  In my family, I have three iphones, about to be four, and five ipads.  We all synch to the same apple ID to allow one another to take seemless advantage of our Itunes, which is on our Imac.  To synch individual music or video interests, we simply select which playlists we want and manually synch that way.  A couple of us use imatch and the cloud to make the entire library accessable as well.  With respect to the imessage, mail, contacts, etc. we each have a gmail account for our individual emails, contacts etc.  So for instance, my forth grade daughter has a gmail account that we choose to synch her contacts, calendar, etc to and then that is also the account where she receives her imessages from on her ipad and itouch. My son, who has an iphone and ipad, does the same thing, but under settings, he goes to imessage and checks his phone number and his email as his preferred way to receive imessages and texts.  My wife and I do the same thing.  To avoid having everyone see one anothers contracts etc, we only synch contacts from our individual email accounts.  Here is the downfall to this:  When you update your phone or add a new device, apple always wants to reset everyone's facetime and imessage settings and then low and behold we are all receiving imessages from one another's friends etc.  To work around this, I simply take each of their devices and go to their imessage settings and only check the email and phone numbers relative to their devices.  I dont' know is this is the best solution, but it seems to work for us. 

  • Can I have more than one itunes account on my apple tv?

    Can I have more than one itunes account on my apple tv?  We have two accounts in our family and would like to be able to switch between them.

    Thank you.  What I was really trying to find out is if there is a limit on switching iTunes accounts - I have a vague memory of reading that changing from one iTunes store account to another was going to be limited in some way, but maybe this is on iTunes itself?  Or perhaps my memory is incorrect?   We have two iTunes accounts and swap back and forth regularly on our iPhones and iPads to buy and update apps without a problem.  I couldn't find any reference to it on a quick search yesterday so what I have done with the AppleTV is leave it set to one account, and we watched the other account content via my Macbook.

  • Can you have more than one iTunes account with home sharing, Can you have more than one iTunes account with home sharing

    Can you have more than one itunes account at one time with apple tv

    My understanding is that the home sharing is based off of being on the same Wifi.  So if someone brings their laptop to your house and connects to your Wifi and they have home sharing on they can connect so you can see his/her iTunes library on your iTunes. 
    I haven't tried this though.  We have two laptops at home, both using my iTunes account and I can see each other's iTunes library, which I'm guessing is what you're probably doing now.  I'd be interested to know if my thought above is true. 

  • HT4314 Can I have more than one Game Center account on the same Apple ID? If so, how do I set it up?

    I am playing Clash of Clans on my iphone and on my iPad. I would like to connect each of my games to a different Game Center ID so I don't lose them if something happens to my device, but I can't figure out how to do that without creating new Apple IDs for each device and I don't want to do that. Any advice? Can I have more than one Game Center account under the same Apple ID? If so, how do I set it up? Thanks!

  • Can you have more than one apple id under the same account

    can you have more than one apple id under the same account

    Stop using the same Apple ID for iMessage on these devices.  Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in using a unique ID for each device.  (Or, just sign out and stop using your Apple ID for iMessage.)

  • Can you have more than one movie per page?

    Hi, I am creating a web site and have some movie content on some of the pages. Can you have more than one quicktime file on each page? Reason I ask is that on one page I have put 3 movie files but only one shows up when I run the site online. I am not using .mac. The website is on grapeape dot co dot uk and if you look at the examples page you should see what I mean. I get one video that works and 2 large "Q"'s where the other videos were. Odd because it works locally. Any ideas? Many thanks.
    Ben

    Just noticed something. If you leave it until the first movie caches or preloads - the second one appears. Is there a way round this at all? Thanks. Ben
