Can you have Two iMessage accounts on a MBP

We have mid 2009 MBP running Yosemite 10.10.1
The MBP is in my wifes name, I tend to use it all the time rather than the wife, so I use her user account rather making my own user account on the Mac, but do we have our own Apple id's.
The MBP has never been set up to link up with her iPone etc, and as I do not own a phone (yes I know) I have had iMessage on the MBP logged into my account to use iMessage on it.
My wife uses iMessage just from her phone, so we could iMessage each other form home to work..worked great.
Now we have linked her phone up with the MBP we can now only have her account to work on it, so we are no longer able to chat to each other.
if I log her out on the mac and log myself in on iMessage, we still cant chat to each other.
So is there a way for us to both chat to each other, her on her iPhone and me on the MBP.
Thanks for any help.

Just re-thinking about it, since I have used everything on the admin (my wife) account, I have used all the folders, including the favourites and I need accesses to the applications folder, is there anyway to give it all to me on my own account, sort of mirror it, as I said she doesnt use the MBP, so all the stuff on there is mine.

    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 two itunes accounts on a single phone?

    Is it possible on an iphone 5s to have two itunes accounts? My child is getting to an age, where they should have their own itunes account.  We share music and applications and i do not want to have to re-buy everything?

    you can but you can also get locked out the way varjak is recommending for 90 days. what i advise is to use a computer and itunes.  authorise both ids and sign in with 1st download purchases then second and download purchases.  then sync content to your phone. these will help

  • Can you have two iTunes accounts on one computer?

    Just bought a MacBook Air which I'm sharing with my husband. Is it possible to have two active iTunes accounts on one computer? We both have very different tastes in music and we have our own iPhones that we'd like to update differently. Would be great to have the option to separate our accounts.

    Yes you can... and it's not that hard

    Simplest way is to create a New User Account.
    Each user will then have their own iTunes library..

    I'm going to give my old iPad to my granddaughter, I want to create an account for her, but I want to do it on my computer so there are no worries about who is spending credits for that account. Don't know how this will work, or if its possible to two iTunes libraries.
    Okay.
    She's going to use your computer to sync with iTunes.
    Create an new computer login on your computer for her. This will keep her stuff separate and she won't be able to mess with any of your info.
    Log into her computer account.
    Launch iTunes.
    Create a new iTunes account for her. See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    You can enter a credit card to create the account then delete the CC info. Or you can use an iTunes gift card and she can fund the account with gift cards instead of using a CC to make purchases. This is an easy way to control spending.
    on the iPad, go to Settings > iMessage > Off.
    Then Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content & settings.
    Once it finishes, plug in the iPad, select it in iTunes and this will set it up as a new device. Enter all your granddaughter's info.
    When she wants to sync her iPad or use iTunes, she needs to log into your computer with her account.
    Then the iTunes library she uses will be only hers.

  • Can you have two different users with itune accounts on the same computer?

    Yes, create another user profile on the computer and each user can log into their own profile that way.

  • CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

    CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

    The problem with making separate accounts is that this is a laptop, so likely not a huge hard drive, and if the three iTunes libraries need to have a lot of the same music (because everyone or two or three like some of the same stuff) you end up with double or triplicate copies of the music on the hard drive eating up drive space. Since they don't use his laptop normally, creating more accounts (with all the associated files and drive space usage each account would eat up) it probably isn't worth it.
    Instead, the best approach is like Chris said, to make playlists for the girls in the main library and then set up the various iPod to either sync everything (if big enough) or sync only specific playlists (if not big enough).
    Alternatively, they can set their iPods to manual syncing and then when Dad is visiting they can hook up their iPods and "shop" the library and drag in whatever they want to add to the iPods and delete what they no longer want.
