How to make Multiple I-Tunes & ICloud Accounts on one computer?

How do you set up multiple itunes accounts on one computer?  Can this be done for ICloud as well? 
We have a family computer and not everyone has the same music, calendar etc...

Since the Mail.app preference file (along with all other application preference files for a user account) is stored in that user's Home folder/directory, I don't believe this is possible.

    It isn't possible to have more than one iTunes account on your phone.

  • How can I manage 2 separate icloud accounts on 1 computer

    Is it possible to have 2 icloud accounts on 1 computer?  I'm trying to find directions on how to back up my husband's contacts onto his icloud using 1 computer without losing any of my own backed up information from my own icloud account.

    If you mean iCloud backups, that has nothing to do with any computer. The backup is stored in iCloud, and it goes from the phone to iCloud backups without a computer being involved. So all you need is two Apple IDs.
    But if you mean sync the contacts to iCloud so you can view them on the computer rather than just back them up it gets trickier, as the logged in user on the computer is only associated with 1 iCloud account.
    If you want to be able to view the contacts on the computer the easiest way to do it is with 2 user accounts on the computer. The alternative is to associate the computer with 1 iCloud account, and access the other one with a web browser at https://icloud.com.
    Finally, another, new, option to consider Family Sharing. Make one Apple ID the master and the 2nd one a Family Share. This allows all content and apps to be shared, and also shares a common calendar and allows all devices to be tracked with a single ID and Find my iPhone.

  • How do I get my music from my account on old computer to new computer? And how do I have two seperate itunes accounts on one computer?

    I had my music on my itunes on my old computer (pc), and need to move it to my husband's computer. My husband and I both have iphones and want to keep using our seperate itunes accounts on one computer, as we both have our own media set up on our accounts. I had burned my music from the old computer onto discs and imported onto the new one...works in the library but I can't put them into playlists, which means I can't put the music on my iphone. As for using two seperate accounts on one computer, it was suggested to me to make another profile on windows (vista), and use the second account on that profile. I did that and have had such a frustrating time trying to get this to work. I don't know if I've done something wrong, but it's just headache after headache. Somehow my apps even ended up on my husband's account? Also, how can we share music between our profiles? It seems ridiculous that we should have to buy an album twice just because we have to different accounts. I would be willing to create a third joint account with my husband, but only if we can still have our own music, apps, etc, and can somehow transfer the music we have to this new account...if possible.  Suggestions please???? I'm so close to pulling out my hair over this!!!

    You'll need to copy the music currently on your iPod to your new PC and into iTunes first before you can sync it to the new iPod.

  • 2 iCloud accounts on one computer?

    CAN YOU HAVE TWO ICLOUD ACCOUNTS ON 1 COMPUTER?

    @Sjazbec
    I'm having some unexpected issues with aliases and can not wrap my head around it.
    I'll try to explain what happens with my setup.
    I have a [email protected] email address with iCloud.
    I also made up to three aliases, with corresponding 'real names'.
    Main    for myself (primary) (real name: Bob)
    Alias 1 for my wife and me (real name: Bob and Chantal)
    Alias 2 for my wife (real name: Chantal)
    Alias 3 for online purchases (real name: Marktplaats)
    What one would expect an alias to do is this:
    I send someone an e-mail using an alias.
    When they receive it, it shows it came from the alias address with corresponding 'real name', and that they can't examine it in some way to get my 'primary' real name or address.
    Next, when they reply to my e-mail, it still shows at my receiving end, the alias address with corresponding 'real name', and not my 'primary' real name or address.
    Finally, if I reply to them again, it still shows it as my alias address with corresponding 'real name'.
    The thing is that it works as expected (1,2, and 3) until I reply to the e-mail that people replied to me (4).
    The 'real name' changes into my 'primary' 'real name' (the e-mail address is the correct one from the alias). If I accidentally send this mail they receive an e-mail from another person. I can manually set it correct but it's an accident waiting to happen to forget to change it.
    This only appears to happen on Apple Mail in Lion and not in the iCloud web interface.
    Is this a bug in Apple Mail? Are my expectations for aliases to high?
    Are you experiencing the same issues?
    Thanks in advance, Bob

  • How to have multiple preference files for Mail on one computer

    I would like to have multiple preference files for Mail on one computer, one copy for each person in the organization. I want everybody to log in as the same user. Is this possible?
    Thanks,

  • How do I sync all my icloud accounts onto one, more specifically I'm trying to access all my music from all my devices

    I have multiple Apple devices, Desktops, laptops, iPad, iPhones, etc.  I somehow was able to sync the desktop at my vacation home with iColoud where I stored not only all the music I purchased through iTunes, but my entire CD collection.  I have since bought and paid for iColud service multiple times and have yet been able to successfully sync my iPhone, or other devices, to where I can access my music. I can only accesss it from the one desktop. To make matters worse, I'm pretty sure I have more than one Apple ID so I am trying to consolidate everything into one as well.
    I am not very computer literate. I have always had folks around me (assistants) that did all this for me. I am now basically retired and fending for myself. This stinks and I'm struggling. Can anyone give me "idiot proof" instructions?
    Thank You!!!!

    You cannot merge or consolidate different icloud or itunes accounts into one account.
    All purchases made in itunes are forever associated with the account (i.e. ID) used to purchase them.  If you change the ID tied to the itunes store, then you will not be able to access purchases made on a previous ID.
    You talk about storing your music on icloud - I assume you have purchased an iTunes match subscription.  You should be able to have all devices access that music for download if they each connect to the iTunes account using the same ID.

  • Multiple iCloud accounts on one computer

    We would like to have two icloud accounts on our imac. One for music and other apple purchases, and one for calendars, addresses etc.  How would we set that up, both on the imac and on our separate ipads and iphones so we can all access the same itunes info, but keep the other stuff private. my husband has most of the music, but some of it is under my account and my son's. I also need to know how to combine all music under one account (most likely my husband's). Thanks.

    To share your purchases and music, you could set up family sharing, and use separate Apple IDs for all other purposes.

  • 2 iphone 5's, 1 itunes account to share music; how do you set up 2 icloud accounts using one MacBookPro?

    My wife and I each purchased the iphone 5 and we share an itunes account. How do I sync our iphones to our MacBookPro so we each have our own iCloud account (contacts, calendars, etc.)? We want to be able to share the itunes music on our computer.

    If you are sycing your contacts and calendars with iCloud, don't sync them with your computer using iTunes.  If you sync with both iCloud and iTunes this will cause duplicates.  If you want to keep your contacts, calendar, etc. separated rather than merged, be sure to set up separate iCloud accounts on both phones using different Apple IDs.  You can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing music, apps, etc.; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud, iMessage or other services.
    In terms of syncing your music and other non-iCloud data with the same computer, this article will explain different options depending on how you want to set it up: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495.

  • How can I have 2 icloud accounts on one computer?

    My wife and I both have Iphones and only one computer.  We were curious if it is possible to setup up two icloud accounts on the one computer?  This would be so we can have the photostream setup up on the computer so we don't always have to sign in and out of the icloud application.

    Setup 2 computer user accounts, then setup iCloud in each user account.

  • Can we have two iCloud accounts on one computer

    My partner and I share the MacBookPro and mostly use our iPads.  Though we sign in to two different accounts when using the Mac Book all my pictures and bookmarks show up in both accounts.  I am the only one with an iCloud account at this point.  I thought each account on the Mac was separate.

    Setup 2 computer user accounts, then setup iCloud in each user account.

  • HT201342 Can we have two Iclouds accounts on one computer.  Husband and wife?

    You need to setup two separate user accounts on your PC and then log into iCloud in each one of them.

  • How do you use two seperate iTunes accounts on one computer?

    My wife and I have seperate iTunes accounts and content. We both have an iPod and iPhone. We purchased a new Macbook Pro because our other computers were fried. How do we both use the same computer to access our own iTunes accounts and sync our own iPhone and iPod to it to update our respective toys? I have already transferred all my content to the new laptop and am able to sync my iPhone and iPod. Now I just need to figure out how to get my wife's content on this new laptop so she can sync her iPhone and iPod. Does anyone know how to do this? I assume this is a common request.

    one option would be to create a separate user account for your wife. click here to learn "how to share music between different accounts on a single computer"
    another option would be to authorize iTunes to use/play content purchased with both your iTunes accounts.that's basically very easy. all you have to do is +log out+ of one account (click on the account name in the Store window and select +sign out+ from the pop-up dialog) and into the other, and then they will both be authorized. (be sure to just *log out*, not de-authorize ).
