Change apple id for user in Yosemite / adapt according to family sharing

Hi,
I just upgraded to Yosemite (and IOS 8 on the families iPads and iPhones).
Before I had one apple ID used by every user / device. Now I changed to family sharing and have separate apple IDs for every family member. Now I would like to use the same IDs for the corresponding users on the Mac. But I cannot find the place to specify this! On Mountain Lion this should have been set in the settings of the users - but there is no such option now on Yosemite.
Any idea is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Thomas

When you add users, it asks you his iCloud id. I suggest you delete then recreate each user

Should I have different Apple IDs for different family members or one?

We are four members in a family, sharing the same iMac computer but each having a separate device (such as an iPod, iPad and iPhone). I'm wondering if it would be best to have separate Apple IDs for each family member to manage things like iMessage, iTunes purchases and so on. I'd appreciate any advice you can provide. Cheers!

The ideal would be to have different Apple IDs for each member. This will allow them to set up their accounts as they like and be able to use iCloud without worrying about the possibility that other members can see their personal data. However, if you want to purchase an app for all the members, you will have to purchase it for each account

I have been using one apple ID for my family as it makes it easier to manage itunes purchases/rentals on all of our devices. Now that my kids are getting old and my wife has recently purchased an Iphone, I can see that I need to change my strategy. I plan to add a few more iphones to the family very soon. What is your recommendation to manage all of our devices (iphones, itouch, apple tv) for my family? Can I continue to function with one apple ID or is it time to take the leep into attempting to manage multi-apple ID's?

There's a few ways of managing multiple devices on a single computer (and keeping seperate content on each). The following document is worth checking through:

How can two users work on iMovie? My husband is working on a memorial video for a family member who passed, I plan to edit but he had to take his computer to work. I have the iMovie project on a zip drive. How do I get it to open in my imovie?

You will need an external drive that is formatted as MAC OS EXTENDED (journaled).
Move the Project, Events, and any photos and music to the external drive by following the instructions in this post.

Be sure to use CONSOLIDATE MEDIA to get the photos and music. Then plug this drive into your computer and you will be able to edit.

I bought another skype number for a family member ...

I have 2 skype numbers now because I can't figure out how to assign the other one I just bought, to a family member. Do I need to cancel that and start over?

Hi, Patzycakes, and welcome to the Community,
As a matter of fact, yes: Skype Numbers are associated with the account under which the subscription was started. Skype does not permit Skype Numbers or any other subscription, or credit, to be transferred from one account to another.
So, the best thing to do would be to cancel the number you do not need, contact customer service to explain the situation and to request a refund , and start a new Skype Number using the Skype account for the family member you wish to have a Skype number. You or they should use their own payment method -- the Skype anti-fraud filters will catch your credit card being used for more than one account, and bar the payment; as a security measure, you may find your own account becomes suspended!
All that said, if the family member does not use Skype and have their own account, that presents another wrinkle.
Best regards,
Elaine

I have the free version of this app that limits you to a 5MB file, but it does work. It requires iOS 3.1. I'm not sure how well the paid version works or what the limitations are.

HT4436 how do i setup a new email address/account for another family member in icloud

how do i setup a new email address/account for another family member in icloud?

They will need to get their own Apple ID - go to http://appleid.apple.com to set up a new one. You will need a different non-Apple email address from any already in use.
Then they will need a separate user account on the Mac, or their own computer. You can then set up the account and add an @icloud.com email address in System Preferences>iCloud.
Although you could set up an alias address on your own account, I should advise against this - once created you cannot detach an alias from the account so they wouldn't be able to move it to their own account at a later date and their email would be inextricably linked with yours.

Can't get into my own account after setting up a second for a family member

How do I get back into my own account after setting up another for a family member on my iMac?

In System Preference/Users and Groups select Login Options ( not Login Items)
Select List of users next to 'Display Login window as'
Make sure you know both yours and your family members login name and password before you log out
You could also use Fast user switching by clicking on the name in the menu bar and switching users

HT5787 Change apple id for all purchased apps...

I want to change apple id in my iphone as my old apple ID's password is not working. Please help me. I want to change apple ID for all new and old purchases.

Have you tried logging out an back into that account on your phone (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store), and/or tried getting the password reset for it : http://iforgot.apple.com (if you do get the password reset then you might need to logout and back into it) ?
If you create a new account then that will work for new purchases, but all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your old account, so only your old account will be able to redownload those purchases and/or download updates to its apps.

How do I create apple IdS for three family members with the same e-mail? They are kids and have no e-mail.

You can configure a new email address for them using the @cloud.com server suffix. Do that when you open an iCloud account for each and set up the separate Apple IDs that will each be tied to a different email address.

I'm editing a wedding that I shot for a family member but when I play it in the viewing window the top of it is cropped off but I can see the whole image in the project strip. will the whole image transfer when I make a dvd or will it crop the top ?

I'm editing a wedding that I shot for a family member, But when I play it the top of the image is cropped off in the veiwing window but it shows the whole image in the project strip. When I make a DVD with it transfer the whole image or will it be the chopped off image and how do I make sure it is the whole image ?

What version of iMovie are you using?
For 9.09..
If the image is not 720p, you might have to crop it to have freehand control over which bit gets cut off.
How to crop it...
In the project window hover your cursor over a section of the clip in the bottom right corner as seen below:
Click on the cog and open up Cropping,Ken Burns and Rotation.
Click on Crop and drag and set to where you want it to be cropped, then click Done. (Because mine isn't 720p, iMovie automatically makes it so I cannot include the black border. If you do not mind this click Allow Black.)
Glad if this helped! Please rate up.

Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it.
