Can i have multiple apple ID accounts on my iMac??

I have added a separate user account for each Apple ID, but the iMac decides to update software, it won't let you if it was downloaded under the other apple ID.
We are a business, we set up the macs for our faculty and staff, we install some basic stuff such as Microsoft Remote Desktop. iMac want's to update this but won't let the user (who has admin provleges) because it was installed throught he other account.
Hiw is this suppposed to work in a business environment?

  • Can I have multiple Game Center accounts with one Apple ID?

    My wife and I use the same Apple ID but want to have individual game enter accounts. Is this possible? Or does my wife need to set up her own Apple ID? Any one got any ideas?

    After 2 hours worth of searching with no answer, I decided to run a test and it worked. This is what I did to have multiple Game Center IDs on iOS7. (People responding may have over looked this detail because they assumed it was obvious, but it wasn't)
    Answer: you MUST have multiple Apple ID accounts, however, you use the main one to log in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE.
    1. I deleted the Alternate Email Address associated with my account
    2. I created an entire new Apple ID with this email address
    3. I login in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE with my original Apple ID (credit card on file)
    4. I login to Game Center, iCloud, etc... with my kid's NEW Apple ID
    So purchasing still goes under our shared account and game center, iCloud, etc... go under my kid's Apple ID.
    ^ ^ ^ ^ This is the simple straight forward answer I was looking for ^ ^ ^ ^

  • HT204053 can you have multiple apple id's for the family but we all use the same iCloud?

    Can you have multiple apple id's for the family members but we all us the same iCloud account?

    You'll have to have an ID you all share in order to have a shared iCloud account. It would be sensible for each person to have their own ID and their own iCloud account for email and their own data (each would be on their own computer/iOS device or user account on a Mac) and then have a common account which everyone would sign into in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to access shared data.
    You don't want to be all using the email in a common account - if people are using email aliases remember these can't be detached from the account and transferred to another one. Having all your emails mixed up together can be somewhat impracticable.

  • Can you have multiple Apple TV's in the same house and network? If so how do you know which one to pick from your Idevice?

    can you have multiple Apple TV's in the same house and network? If so how do you know which one to pick from your Idevice?

    Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.

  • HT204053 can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?

    can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?

    You can have only one iCloud "user configuration" per local user on the Mac. Who the local user belongs to doesn't mind. Since it's a local user it's not related with who actually uses it. So let's say you want to set up Photo streaming using your iCloud user, just configure iCloud (under System Preferences) the same way you did on your phone and you're done.
    But, beware: if you're only interested in synching photos, uncheck everything else when configuring iCloud on the Mac, otherwise you will merge, for example, your husband contacts, calendar and mail with those on your phone.
    If you want to avoid any problems you can easily create another local user on the Mac with your name, under System Preferences, System, Users & Groups. After you create the user, logoff. The Mac will ask if you want to disable autologin (since there's more than one user that can log in now), answer yes and you will be presented with a logon screen. Click on your account name, insert the password and configure iCloud to sync with your phone.

  • HT204053 Can you have multiple apple ids that access one itune account??

    I need to know if I can have multiple Apple Ids attached to one itunes account.  Trying to set facetime up on these separate devices and it keeps failing.  Any help would be appreciated.  I tried to add additional emails, but I all I get is verifying and it never verifies it.

    yes you can still sync all the devices on itunes using one master itunes/appleID account.
    Music:
    If you want to select specific playlists for your kids, DON'T enable iTunes Match on their devices, otherwise they will get ALL the playlists on their devices (learned that the hard way)
    If you have wi-fi synced enabled that should still work.
    Apps:
    I manually select which apps they get on their devices using itunes. It only changes when they re-sync.
    Don't enable AUTO downloads on their devices for Apps or Music purchases.
    Since I also have young kids using these devices:
    I have restrictions setup on their devices. I don't allow them to install/delete apps, nor do I allow them to make any account changes on their devices. This way their devices stay in order and get backed up to icloud. I can easily restore their devices if I needed too.
    Once in a while I will disable the restrictions so I can update all their apps.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT4865 How can I have multiple icloud email accounts using the same rescue email account.

    I have several Iphones for my business for managers to use.
    I would like to set them up to send me the recovery emails but it seems only one icloud address can do that.
    Is it possible to have multiple icloud email accounts using the same - seperate recovery email address?

    Unfortunately, you cannot change your primary @me.com or @icloud.com email address, you could however create an alias or create a completely new account.

  • Can you have 2 Apple ID accounts authorized on one or more Macs?

    I have my own account and two iMacs and have both authorized with my Account no. I just bought my wife an iPad and want her to be able to use the music, photos and get to her photos on either macs. I originally wanted her to have her own account to purchase books music etc, but also want her to get music from any playlist etc. She has no computer which is strictly hers alone, she uses my daughters iMac and has her own account login on that computer along with mine and my daughters. I have my own iMac, and icloud with my icloud email address and can log into itunes icloud etc, using my Apple ID account on it and only one login account to the iMac where I am administrator. I also have other email addresses on our iMacs other than my icloud email address.  I have been able to sync my music to my daughters ipod touch as well as my iphone? I would like to sync all the available information on any computer to my wifes new ipad if needed, but still want her to be able to have her own account to purchase items via her own credit card and have her own icloud account if possible.
    Any Advise as to what might work best and easiest to manage, would be helpful.

    I would set up seperate user accounts on the computer, that would be easiest to manage. Sharing an itunes store account is fine, but shoudl definitely keep seperate icloud accounts, which requrires another apple id.
    This might help:

  • Can I have multiple Apple IDs on one email address?

    How do I register for and Apple ID for my husband's ipad when I am using the family email for my own Apple ID?

    An email account can only have one Inbox, and each email account can only be on one iTunes account. I don't use Virgin Media, but some providers allow you to have sub accounts under the main account, or can you create a second Virgin Media account to use on a second iTunes accout ? You can also create free email accound via, for example, http://hotmail.com and http://gmail.com
    But you can use the same iTunes account on more than iPad - all content that you buy/download from the iTunes store is tied to the iTunes account that downloads it, so if you want to have the same apps, music, films etc on both then continuing to have just the one account may be preferable.

  • Can I have multiple apple ID's?

    I have 4 devices on the same Apple ID.  I would like to seperate them and create a new Apple ID for 2 of them.  The 2 I want to seperate are my kids and I no longer want to get their silly apps and music.  2 are iPods and 2 are iPhones.  Can I do that without causing other problems?  Can I use the same computer and just log in for either or?  Will they lose everything they have so far?  Help!

    It is possible to create as many Apple ID's as one desires.
    Keep in mind that content acquired with an Apple ID is permanently tied to that Apple ID.
    Content from multiple Apple ID's can exist on a single iDevices.  This article provides helpful information for using multiple Apple IDs on the same device: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
