Can I have multiple ICloud accounts sync to one computer?  Strictly looking to have 2 photostreams save to one computer.

My wife and I both have Iphones and Ipads but seperate Icloud accounts.  I would like to utilize the photostream capabilites of the icloud desktop client to view pictures on our home pc and back them up.  Is there anyway to do this? will this be added in the future?
thanks,

update to this question... 
I can't turn on automatic downloads on my iTunes as it is already associated with my account and if I chang it to hers, then I can't change it again for 90 days  :-(  so bascially, I guess while I can have two accounts authorised on my computer, so that it can play music videos etc... there is no easy way to get this content between my computers. 
So bascially back to where I was when I used to try and use Syncopation and various other products to get music purchases synced between all computers - it never worked very well, tried various products etc but not really much luck and no help with books, apps etc...
I really do not think that Apple has though thru multi person/family support in the iTunes store and frankly getting pretty fed up with it. 
They have limited it to 5 computers, I don't see why there have to be these additional restrictions all the time, or why they won't fold two accounts into one.
It's starting to look like £10 per month for Spotify premium may be a better deal now that you can download music from there...  I spend a lot on the iTunes store but I am going to have to rethink that if there isn't an answer to easily allow my wife and I to share what we purchase.

    how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    Thanks...  I appreciate the reply.  Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)...  I had it working before. 
    Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is...  Pop or Imap?  What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
    I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Can i use multiple icloud accounts in my find my iphone app?

    Can i use multiple icloud accounts in my find my iphone app? I have multiple accounts that i want to tie to that app.

    You can't buy another one.  You have to reuse one of the accounts previously set up on your phone, or create a new one to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.

  • How can I use multiple icloud Accounts with Fotos?

    Hello.
    Yesterday, my wife and I started using the new App "Fotos" on OSX and iOS.
    What I can't figure out, and where I would like to get some insight and help, is how we should use our icloud Accounts.
    How it is right now:
    - Wife (MacBook and iPhone)
    Has her own icloud-Account ([email protected]) for Backup (iOS) and Fotosync, Keychainsync, Bookmarks. 20GB iCloud-Account (18GB free).
    - Husband (MacBook, Mac Mini and iPhone and iPad)
    Has his own icloud-Account ([email protected]) for Backup (iOS) and Fotosync, Keychainsync, Bookmarks. 20GB iCloud Account (10 GB free).
    - Husband has about 400 GB of Photos from over 10 Years on Mac Mini
    How I want it to be:
    - Husband
    upgrades to at least the 500GB Account, to use for all 400GB of Photos and Backup, Keychainsync, Bookmarks.
    - Wife
    Has her own Account ([email protected]) for Keychain and Bookmark, but uses [email protected] on MacBook and iPhone for Backup an Fotosync, so that all Photos are stored in a single one family "container". All Photos in one Place without being able to forget to put them there.
    I don't see, how I can accomplish that, since only one "real" icloud account seems to be possible in iOS, so that if i put my account in her iPhone I would get the Photo and Backup I want, but she would not be able to sync her own bookmarks an keychain any more.
    Any thought on how to resolve this?
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks for your ideas,
    thomas

    Yes, you could have multiple iCloud accounts for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari, Notes, and Find My iPhone, but only one primary iCloud account for Photo Stream, Documents & Data, and Storage & Backup.

  • Can i manage multiple iCloud accounts on a singe imac

    In my house we have 3 iphones and an ipad and would like to manage at least 3 different icloud accounts from our desk top imac 27

    In mny opinion, it would be far better ot create a new, separate computer login for your wife.
    She will have all her own data (email contacts, calendar, iTunes library, etc.).
    No worries about switching libraries or messing up each other's data.

  • Can I change the icloud account for just one of my devices?

    I have 4 devices (2 iPhones and 2 iPads) on my iCloud account. I want to put one of my phones on a new icloud account so it is not with the other devices. I thought I did this by creating a new Apple ID.  My phone shows the new ID, but still uses the old ID in iTunes and shows up on my other devices under the send & receive message section.

    You just need to sign out of old id in three places.
    Settings - itunes and app store
    Settings - messages
    Settings - facetime.

  • Would like assistance with multiple devices with multiple iTunes accounts syncing on one PC

    I have had an iPhone for some years now and have been syncing with my PC without issue (first with iPhone 3gs and now with iPhone 4s). My wife bought me an iPad 3 retina in December 2012 which syncs with the same PC as my phone and shares the same iTunes account. Apps downloaded onto one device are automatically downloaded to the other, iMessages are sent and received to both devices also.
    My Wife now has an iPad mini with retina (using her own existing iTunes account which she previously used for an iPhone she no longer uses). I synchronised her new iPad mini with my PC assuming iTunes would manage the device and related account and contents separately to my existing account and 2 devices. However this has caused an issue with the sharing of apps. Since doing so I have started seeing updates available on my devices for apps which I have never downloaded, but my wife has.  If I tell my iPad to update said apps, I am asked for my Wife's iTunes account password. 
    On doing some searching via google I now understand that I should have created a second windows profile on my PC for my wife and installed iTunes onto this profile for the purposes of syncing her device.
    I would very much like to do this, but would like some assistance on the best course of action for doing so. If I proceed and created a second profile and sync her device to this, I presume I would need to tell iTunes to treat her iPad as a new device (and wonder what would happen to her existing content)? Assuming we do this, I presume the issue of my seeing her app updates would still persist?
    Could someone advise if they have any experience with similar issues/queries?

  • Can you transfer an iCloud account to a new computer?

    I have iCloud on my desktop and want to purchase a laptop.  Am I able to transfer the I cloud off the desktop to the laptop?

    From the Help menu choose Sign Out. This will deactivate the Creative Cloud subscription on the machine.
    You are allowed up to two activations with your subscription, so you can have the software on more than one machine if you want.

  • Multiple iCloud accounts, single iOS device.

    I have one Apple ID, and only one iOS device - a 4th generation iPod touch. Can I setup multiple iCloud accounts? If so, how?

    You can create a maximum of three iCloud accounts on each device.  You can create two additional "secondary accounts" by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and sign in with two new Apple IDs.
    Secondary accounts will only sync mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.  The can't be used for be used for iCloud Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents and Data, iCloud Backup or Find My iPod.  Also, mail in secondary accounts will be fetch only, not push.

  • How can I access my iCloud account from my computer, when I'm running OSX Leopard?

    I have a Mac Book running Leopard and I don't have the iCloud icon in my settings.. How can I access my iCloud account/back up my computer to the cloud?

    Your signature says you have 10.6.8 which is Snow Leopard, but that is still not compatible with iCloud. You cannot back up your computer to iCloud in any case - it doesn't provide for that, only for iOS backups.
    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    If you have already set up an iCloud account on another Mac or device you can make limited use of it with Snow Leopard - details here.
    To make full use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    (If in fact you are running Leopard and it is an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.)
