How to have 2 iCloud id on same user account

We just bought our new IMac and we wanted to have our 2 icloud on the same user account because we want to share our itunes and iphoto and lightroom, etc. Is this possible at all?

may I ask a question, you have a new mac....  you have created two accounts on the mac and created the cloud user id for each of these account.     You are also saying you want to share photo's and itunes in a common library.  It it safe to assume that you are not using the cloud for  your photos and itunes but are keeping them on the computer ?
the reason I ask, is that we have created a folder on the mac hard drive called common-itunes and common-photos......   we made certain that each of our accounts on the mac have read and write privaliges to the folders and have been sharing info that way.
We have imported these folders into our itunes and photo libs as a start point and occassionally move any new somgs or photos we have added to our to our specific accounts to the commom folder to keep it up to date
that way our mac has a common folder that we can both look at or use.
just a thought, if thats what your goal is  independent yet dependent

  • How to use migration assistant when the same user account name is on both computers

    I want to migrate all my info from my MacBook to my new (to me) MacBook Pro.  I've already set up a user account on the new MBP that has the same name as the user account on the MacBook that I want to migrate. 

    Snags40 wrote:
    In both cases the UID for my primary User Account is 507
    507?  That's odd; usually the first one created is 501, then 502, etc.  Could you have gone through 6 accounts?
    Since I've migrated thru several Macs to get to the current state on the old MacBook, I suspect the UID has changed.
    That could explain some of it, if you used Migration Assistant instead of Setup Assistant.  It would have taken a lot of migrations and user accounts to get to 507, I'd think.
    I still have the Powerbook that preceded the MacBook.  How can I determine the UID on 10.4.11?  The right click on the Account name in User Accounts doesn't show that value.  I'd like to see if UID has changed going from 10.4 to 10.5.
    Good question.  I skipped Tiger, and don't recall earlier versions, but this article may help:  http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20051022175850619&query=change%252BU ID

  • TS3367 We have 2 iPad2s on the same iTunes account how do we face time ach other?

    We have 2 iPad2s on the same iTunes account how do we face time ach other?

    Some users create another Apple ID just to use for FaceTime and Messages, but I have 4 devices using both apps and I use one Apple ID on all four. I added another email address on the other devices as the contact at email address and kept the Apple ID email address on my iPad as the contact at email address.
    Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached for FaceTime at>Add another email address. Add the email address, Apple will verify it. Go to the InBox of that email account, read the email from Apple, follow the instructions to complete the verification. Go back to Settings>FaceTime and uncheck the Apple email address and check the address that you just added. You can also tap on the blue arrow next to the Apple ID email address and remove it in the next window if you like.
    Do the same thing in Messages and ...obviously you need another working email address. You can use your wife's own email address on her iPad as the contact at address.

    how to have multiple images on the same screen? like in the movies where you see several actions at the same time ....
    i don't find  a tutorial in adobe tv....
    thanks !!

    The short answer is that you'll put the source clip(s) for each inset on a different video track, all stacked up. Then use the Scale and Position effects (under "Motion" on the Effect Controls panel) to reduce their size and place them where you want.
    If the content of an inset will involve edited content (where you're cutting among various clips or just trimming out unwanted content from a single clip), then you'll probably find it easier to do all those edits in one sequence, then nest that sequence in the master sequence, where you apply the Scale and Positioning effects. That will save the step of applying the scale and position effects to each edited track item.

  • We have several iphones, ipod touches, ipad and mac's if we all install icloud under the same apple account will they all sync together...we don't want that to happen!!

    We have several iphones, ipod touches, ipad and mac's if we all install icloud under the same apple account will they all sync together...we don't want that to happen!!

    If any of you are like me, I had one single AppleID under MobileMe.  Under my AppleID I had two additional Email addresses, one for my wife and one for her Mother.  Each used their individual email accounts on their login on the home Mac and on their individual Iphones.
    In order for them to not lose their email acounts when mobileMe goes away and/or you move your appleID acount from MobileMe to iCloud, you simply need to beaware of the folowing.  Have each person with an email address under your AppleID MobileMe go to www.me.com; enter their email account and password in the corresponding fields.  However, don't press the login button. Instead press the sentence under the login fields that says something to the effect of "do you want to move/migrate to iCloud.  Follow the prompts from there.
    In essence what Apple has done--albeit not communicated anywhere--is that they automatically created AppleIDs for each of those additonal email addresses you have/had under MobileMe.  Therefore, use that email and password after moving from MobileMe to iCloud and your good to go.

    Yes and No.  yes for sharing music and apps.  No for icloud/facetime/imessage - she should get her own id for that.

  • Can Exchange have 2 different mailboxes for same user

    hey guys,
    I need to know whether Exchange 2010/2013 can have two mailboxes for the same user e.g.
    1st mailbox is configured to send and receive emails for: xxxxpride.co.ke and 
    2nd mailbox is configured to send and receive emails for: xxxxsolutions.co.ke
    is this possible? if not how should i go about this scenario?
    will it mean I have to run two different exchange and AD servers which will have a different public IP?

    No you can not have 2 mailbox for one user. Because, mailbox is associated with AD account and you need authentication to send emails.
    In this case you can do  following 
    1. Create a different user account with 2nd email address and Forward that 2nd email to first one. So User is reading 2 email in one mailbox. TO send email from 2nd mailbox assign the send as permission to first account.
    2. Add the Alias email address in your first mailbox. (By doing so) User will recieve the emails for both address but cant send from 2nd email address.
     You can have multiple domains configured to recive and send emails in one exchange server.Yes certainly
    we can create multiple recipient for multiple domains.. Under authoritative domains section of hub transport. External Relay and Internal relay and authoritative domains can be created. you can create email address policies for each domain as well. See the
    link below to understand more.

  • HT1311 can you see which device bought something on iTunes where you have multiple devices on the same iTunes account?

    is there any way to find out which device dowloaded apps when you have multiple devices using the same itunes account? 

    The purchase information does not include the device used, but does include the Apple ID used for the purchase.
    Apps downloaded on one device with the same Apple ID can be downloaded on another device with that Apple ID.

    Its not possible for the same development object. Only 1 person can access an object at a time and if mutiple users modify an object new TASKs are created under the same TRANSPORT.
    Only after releasing the tr you can create a new tr on the same object.

    Any iPhone that lists the same email will receive the same texts. This has to be changed in order to stop receiving on all devices.

  • HT1766 can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Hi sandexpress,
    As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
    With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
    If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    GB
