We've had our MBP for a year, set up with my Apple ID. Got an iPad recently and set up with husband's Apple ID. Would now like to sync the two and set up iCloud/PhotoStream between the two. How to do since have two different Apple IDs? Thanks!
Just out of curiosity, why did you elect to use a different id?. That seems to always make things difficult. If you have not had the pad for long, or have not bought a lot of stuff Nader the new id, you might want to think about erasing all content, turn off find my phone, wiping the pad and starting over.
You can sync 2 different ids ( at least move pictures, books and music back and forth) if you are syncing through I tunes on your computer, but I don't think you can cross feed I cloud streams. -
Hey does anybody know how to set up 2 apple ID on mac imessages? Because i have 2 different iphones and i would like to send imessages fron both accounts on my mac...
Associate your mobile numbers with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

How can I sync my documents on my devices if I have two different Apple IDs
I would like to be able to sync my Pages documents on all my devices. However, one of my devices uses a different Apple ID (my work one). Is there any way to get Pages to sync the documents created with the first ID onto the device with the second ID, or vice versa?
Thanks.
drm15515No, they have to be using the same iCloud account (ID) in order to use iCloud to sync them across your devices.

I have an older iPod and new iPhone 5s. I have two separate accounts for each. Can I take my iPod account/Id and make into my iPhone id and transfer my music over?...without loosing my music!?
If you mean Apple IDs, they can't be merged at all.
If you mean iTunes libraries, import the content and playlists from one to the other.
You can have content from multiple Apple IDs in one library.

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same Windows 8 computer, and when I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message. Is it possible to have two different Apple IDs on the same computer?
Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library. -

I appear to have two separate Apple IDs and to have purchased music under both of them (one is my husband's email account, the other is mine). Is there a way to consolidate them, or is it possible to make the purchases made under two separte IDs downloadable on the same device(s)?
Not at this time. There is no way to merge two Apple IDs or be signed into the iTunes Store with more than one Apple ID at a time on an iOS device. However, you can USB sync the music to more than one device at a time, no problem. As long as all the music is on the same computer.

I have an iPad and an iPhone 6. They are on two different Apple ids. How do I do I change the Apple id on my phone to match my iPad?
On the phone, go to Settings, and change the iCloud and iTunes Store AppleIDs (sign out of the one you have, sign into the one you want). Note that you can't transfer apps from one AppleID to another, so you may still be prompted for your old AppleID password to update any apps that you installed under that ID.

My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.
All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone. -
Can Apple TV play content purchased with two different Apple IDs (but on one computer)?
I have one iMac with content in my iTunes from two different Apple IDs. All of this content is perfectly accessible on my computer. Before I ran the most recent software upgrade on my Apple TV 2, I was able to access all of this content (from both Apple IDs) through Home Sharing. Now it shows me all of the content, but skips over any of the songs that were purchased with one of the Apple IDs. It doesn't show an error message--it just won't play the songs. Is there any way around this? I haven't seen a thread that directly relates to this--most threads I have seen discuss two separate computers, each with different Apple IDs. Any help would be much appreciated.
I've tried everything..unplugging and re-setting the Apple TV, restoring to factory settings and starting over...nothing seems to work. I'm not sure why the software upgrade would have affected it, but that's what triggered this problem. It doesn't seem right that if it's accessible on my computer and it's all music purchased by me, that it's not all accessible on my Apple TV!

HT1206 How do you authorize a macbook with two different Apple IDs?
I am having a little problem right now. My fiance and I both have our own accounts; he got one made by his brother and used it sometimes to buy apps and eventually he started using mines to make purchases because for a while we forgot his Apple ID log in info. My questions right now is can I authorize the one computer that we share right now under two different Apple Ids so that he can get both profiles' contents loaded onto my computer and sync them to his ipod? Just wondering because we don't have wifi and want to get all of our apps, music, etc from both accounts onto our new ipod. I managed to download all of his apps from his Apple ID onto my macbook but I tried to sync them to our new ipod and it said that we had to authorize the computer under his Apple ID and I tried it and it wouldn't allow me to do it it said to wait 90 days before I can do this because it is already associated with my Apple ID. I deauthorized my macbook under my Apple ID and tried to authorize it under my fiance's and it said the same thing. And now Idk what to do:( Can someone help me and tell me what options are available for me? Can I reach itunes support and have them merge our accounts or enable me to have 2 accounts authorized on my macbook that we share or can I find a wifi connection and be able to download all of his content from his Apple ID account from itunes purchased on the ipod touch? Please help me out I would hate to have to buy all of the stuff on his Apple ID account all over again I spent so much money on his account in the past and I don't want him to be upset either:(
OMG I am so ecstatic and happy right now like literally jumping and crying with joy! Lol I fixed the problem and authorized both accounts onto my one macbook (that my fiance share) by clicking on one of my fiance's apps and it instructed me to authorize the apps for updates and what not on this computer and I just chanced it and logged into his account and both of all of our apps are on our ipod touch now:D I think we can even get his music back too. I looked at his authorized computer info and it says that he has one computer authorized with his account (the one we are now using) so it worked. Share with others who are in similar situations and warn them to log into their Apple ID Itunes accounts and download past purchased APPS on all the accounts they have before authorizing one of their itunes accounts on a new or different computer and once you have one authorized you'll already have the apps from your other accounts and you can authorize all the other accounts (the underground way) by clicking on the apps associated with each account and authorizing by signing in for authorization(authorizing one app will do them all). The Menu > Store > Authorize This Computer way didn't work for me just the *double click on app associated with the other account not authorized on my computer* and authorizing it that way worked for me. The way that I got all of my fiances apps on our computer first was by just logging in and looking at Purchased on itunes store and clicking download all for all apps. Then after I did his I did all apps on mines and then music and authorized my computer under my itunes account because downloading Purchased music required it and then finally going back and double clicking the apps from the other account and authorizing it that way it is much more simpler that the Menu>Store> Authorize this Computer.
After I tried that double clicking on apps and authorization by signing in I expected it not to work because the Menu>Store>Authorize way didn't work for me it kept saying "this computer is already authorized under a different Apple ID" and try again in 90 days. The method and steps I provided should allow you to beat around that obstacle and get your apps from all associated accounts.
Thank me later and good luck to all of you I hope that it will work for you just as it had for me today:D

HT204053 How do I use the same email for two different apple IDs?
I have inadvertently created two different Apple IDs throughout the years but now need my most recent one to use my email, but still want access to my old apple ID (if I can find it). The old apple ID has priority (the new one is not allowed to verify my email as it is linked to my old ID) with that email - can someone help me have the two IDs linked to the same email?
Thank youAFAIK this is Not Possible. Each ID requires a Unique address
