Family sharing between two existing Apple ID accounts?

Greetings,
My wife and I have two long standing Apple ID accounts and were exciting at the prospect of Family Sharing in iOS8. What we would like to do is to be able to see and share the purchases we have made over the years instead of having to log into each other's accounts. It appears that we can't create a family group with both ID's however. Does anyone have any suggestions conceding the best way to accomplish what we are trying to do?

Hello there, Matt.
Family Sharing is one of the exciting service that rolled out with iOS 8. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information in regards to how sharing works:
Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT201085
One additional point is addressed, in this article:
Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
https://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing
Get organized.
To get started, one adult in your household — the organizer — invites up to five additional family members and agrees to pay for any iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases they initiate while part of the family group. Once family members join, the features of Family Sharing are set up on everyone’s devices automatically.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

How may I un-merge contacts between two different Apple ID accounts?

This evening I was trying to see if my daughters information for the App Store could be viewed on my iPhone 5. I deleted my Apple ID and logged into my daughters Apple ID on my phone. I inadvertently merged our contact lists in the activation process. Could some please give me instruction on how to un-merge the two contact lists? I would like to get this done with least amount of headache and time. I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.3 and my daughter has an iPod Touch (gen 4) running iOS 7.0.3.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't easily unmerge them. make sure you have reset your accounts so that you are both logged into the accounts you should be (your own) and then manually delete the contacts you don't want.

How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

Morning Saintine,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.

I would like to add family members to my existing apple id that is used for my iCloud account. All of the family members already have existing apple ids. Can I make these existing apple ids part of my family?

Adding existing apple id to an iCloud family share
I would like to add family members to my existing apple id that is used for my iCloud account. All of the family members already have existing apple ids. Can I make these existing apple ids part of my family? I have tried this, but "verifying" the apple id always fails with "existing family member" or an error something to the effect "unable to do at this time, try again later."
Thanks

"am I still able to register another phone to the same ID?"

Can music be shared between two devices with different apple IDs?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
iTunes content can be commingled in the iTunes library on a computer and synced to iOS devices. The computer must be authorized to use the content from the respective Apple IDs in the iTunes Store menu.

How to transfer app data between two different game center accounts?

Hello, I really need some help.
I have looked all over the web for ways to transfer apps between two different game center accounts and different devices. Several weeks ago I started playing Campus Life on my relative's Ipad 2, therefore spending many long hours to get to this point in the game.
The problem is I just got an Iphone 5 and I really would like to transfer the data onto it, so that I would not need to start all over again.
My grandma has an account (Game Center) onto which the data has been saved and I would like to have it stored onto mine. On some forum someone said to sign into the account which has the data on both devices and to then open up the game on the new device. It worked. Then I signed out and logged in with my own account- the game started from scratch. I panicked. I went back on the other account, and the data reappeared. I have been going back and forth, the game changing as many times. I thought it would ask to back up my grandma's data on mine but I was wrong. I can not seem to save the game onto my new account, and I have even tried to back it up to Itunes and then copy it onto my phone after having signed into my own account. And I don't know how to properly use Icloud. I am a mess. I am completely lost and have found no help on the web. (All people seem to have to deal with is sharing Apple IDs with different Game Center Accounts for the kids and transferring apps from one of their devices to another.)
I am so worried I am going to mess up and will lose the whole thing completely.
I have just started another game with my own account but since I am using my grandma's, the data is erased. It's one or the other but I definitely prefer saving Campus Life. I do not like the idea of having to only pick one.
I do not know any technical terms, so if you understand or even have the slightest clue about what I am talking about, I applaud you.
This seems like mission impossible, so if anyone can help in any way, I would be really grateful.
Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts!

I meant to press on "This solved my question"... Sorry if you needed the points.
Thank-you and I will just go back and forth between the accounts.

TS2972 is it possible to use home sharing between two users on the same computer?

My wife and I have itunes accounts and want to be able to share music we have each bought on our accounts. We have tried setting up the home sharing on our PC but it doesn't show up on the screen. Can anyone please help?

"Is it possible to use home sharing between two users on the same computer?"
No. Home sharing is used to connect two running instances of iTunes across a network. When you switch users on the computer all applications running on the other profile are suspended.
You can however share your respective media folders so that they are visible in either profile and then copy over any content that you want, or you could create a single joint library which you use when either user is logged in.

Configuring SMTP Namespace Sharing between two Exchange Forests on the same LAN

Hi guys, really hoping that someone can help me with configuring SMTP Namespace Sharing between two Exchange Forests on the same LAN.
Basically, I have created a new forest and installed a new exchange organisation in this forest. Both forests are located on the same IP subnet and a two way trust has been created between the forests. Federated sharing has also been configured.
I can use ADMT to migrate the user and computer accounts to the new forest and also migrate test mailboxes over. Ideally, I want to be able to do the mailbox migrations in stages so will need to be able to have mail flowing between the two forests.
I have read over the following article (http://ibrahimnore.wordpress.com/2012/09/06/configuring-smtp-namespace-sharing-between-two-exchange-forests-part-2/)
which is good but it's demonstrating over the internet, can anybody advise how this can be achieved on the local LAN?
Any help greatly appreciated :-)

Hi Gilliano,
Thanks for correct link. I must say this is a very good article indeed, I read the entire article and if you go to the 3rd part of this article, please note the text "DOMAINC.COM is configured as Internal Relay Accepted Domain on both the domains"
This is exactly what I asked you to check. Personally, I understand the method described in this article will work but its very complex to manage and administer, while the easiest option is to configure internal relay at the first place and no need to make
so many DNS changes and customizations to your environment.
The solution really depends on what your requirement is - Since you mentioned that you are migrating stuff over from source to destination - I feel this article is too complex for your situation and not really worth (for your requirement). The setup described
in the article is an excellent choice if you are planning to keep both forests alive for longer duration due to several reasons like compliance or company mergers and so on...
please let me know if my explanation is not clear enough.. we can even even have a one-on-one email conversation too!
All the best!
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. Regards, Siva

i used my friends apple id in my device.how can i delete or cancel existing apple id account in my device and use my own

Depending on what you are using the AppleId for specifically, you will need to open the setting s app and sign out of his and sign inwith your own in the following areas:
iCloud
Mail,Contacts,Calendars
FaceTime
iTunes and App Store
Music (only for Home sharing)

Have two i phones owned by one person. Gave older I phone 4 to spouse. All synced items going to both phones. Created two different Apple ID Accounts but still having problems. Bought more icloud for one device but it went to the other one didnt need

How can i seperate to i phones that have been synced together. I created two different Apple Id accounts but for instance my icloud purchase didnt go to the phone i needed it to go to

If you look at Settings > iCloud on each phone, is the Account different? The Apple ID listed there should control iCloud storage allocation. [I assume your "icloud purchase" was more storage capacity.]
The Apple ID is separately specified to control iMessage, iTunes and App Store purchases, etc.

I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??

I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??
Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
Please help!

Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.

Money Transfer between two foreign currency bank accounts

Hello,
Company A's functional (company code) currency is GBP.
It maintains bank accounts in GBP, EUR and USD.
How can it transfer money in SAP between its USD and EUR bank accounts without going via GBP account?
Thanks in advance for your time and efforts.
sumit

Hein,
Thanks for the reply though it is not that straight forward.
The situation here is that account # 100 is EUR denominated, account # 200 is USD denominated. The co. code is GBP denominated.
Now, I want to move money from my USD account to the EURO account directly.
If I go to FB50 or FB01 and enter USD as the transaction currency for the JV and enter USD account # 200 as a credit and EUR account # 100 as a debit, SAP does and will error out as the EUR account can only be posted in EUR, not USD and not GBP or any other currency for that matter.
So, the question still remains, How do I move money between two foreign currency bank accounts without going thru the functional currency bank account?
Btw, I do understand that SAP will calculate the equivalent GBPs in local currency on each line.

Wireless file sharing between two MacBooks

I feel like this is kind of a silly question, but here goes:
Is it possible to set up wireless file sharing between two macs when there is no wireless network available.
For example, if I am on a plane (with no wi-fi) and wan to wirelessely connect to my partners macbook to browse his hard drive, can I do it? Right now, I use a firewire cable when flying, but would love to not have to.
Thanks for the help.

Yes, it's possible to do.
You setup one of the Macs to act as a base station of sorts. If you've got the AirPort Status menu shown you can just use the 'Create Network…' option in that menu to create a new wireless network hosted on this Mac. Just tell the other Mac to connect to that network using the name and security credentials you specified when you created the network, and you're done.
