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.

  • Can you have multiple iTunes accounts associated with one email address?

    My current iTunes account is associated with my company email address that I am attempting to change to my personal email address that I share with my husband.The problem is his iTunes account is also associated with this email address. Is there a way to add my account to our joint email address?

    No. Purchases made on each account are permanently tied to a unique email address and cannot be changed, and accounts cannot be merged. I think you can add an alternate email address for correspondence if/when you can no longer access email at the original address. See HE68: Apple ID: Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID for more information.

  • HT204053 Can you have 2 iCloud accounts

    Can you have 2 iCloud accounts??  If yes how??

    I assume these are on the same device.
    Using 2 iCloud accounts will mean that only one of them can use photo stream or document and data syncing, you need to decide which one this is (perhaps you only want mail, contacts, reminders, calendars and notes for business). I refer to the one with photo stream and document syncing as the primary account.
    Each device can have only one primary account but multiple secondary accounts. You can choose to use only the services you wish to with each type of account.
    Secondary accounts are added at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. If you don't already have one, you can create a second Apple ID there.

  • Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer?

    Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer and if so how do you access them without syncing each others music?

    Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.

  • Can you have 2 itunes accounts on the same computer?

    can you have 2 itunes account on the same computer?

    Yes, go to your Windows Control Panel and create another user,log into it, run iTunes and it's ready to rock and roll.
    Transfer your content over via USB Key, Dropbox or external drive.
    Heck the best thing would be to File > Backup library to disk with a bunch of DVD-R's, therefore you get a backup in the process!
    Good Luck

  • Can you have 2 iTunes accounts on one MAC Desktop

    I have a MAC Desktop which my husband and I share. We each have our own Itunes accounts, mine which is stored on an old Mac Book Pro with issues. In order for me to use the cloud I need to get my Itunes account onto the desktop. This laptop can not be updated to the icloud becasue of its problems. We can share the contacts and the calendar from the desktop, but we each have our own music. Can you have 2 itunes accounts on one desktop?

    Yes. Use separate Mac OS X user accounts, or launch iTunes with the Option key held down as needed.

  • TS3276 can you have multiple exchange accounts in mail in mountain lion

    can you have multiple exchange accounts in mail in mountain lion

    Just use IMAP for the accounts. I have 4 Exchange accounts in my Mail app and they are all set up that way. but yes, there can only be 1 Exchange account (which I believe has more to do with the Exchange API than Macs)
    hope this helps.

  • Can you have two slides shows on the one interactive page?

    I'm just new at learning interactive pdfs in indesign so sorry if this is common knowledge. I know how to create a slide show on a page, but can you have two slide shows on the one page or more for that matter? (Ideally I need 3.) Each slide show has its own set of images and buttons.

  • Can you have 2 iCloud accounts on one device, i would like to share photo stream with my wife but not calendar, contacts

    How do you setup 2 icloud accounts on one phone.  I would like to do that to separate contacts/calendars from photo stream.  I have a shared photo library that i would like to be able to access from each phone.  How do you do it?
    Thanks.

    I don't think there is a method cause when you have 2 iCloud account you double the memory given by them (5gb) and if you want more memory you have to pay so I don't think apple might have a loop in that :p bu if you want to share pics then you can always use luthoot enabled apps
