Icloud and multiple users on a single iMac

I am keen to use icloud at least for calendar and address book and email. My wife and I both have Apple id's and we both use the iMac, where all usage is under my user name / environment. I also run a Macbook Air that is also discrete from the iMac.
If I connect to icloud what happens to the (currently) disparate address books etc? Will moving to iCloud influence the way my wife and I use the iMac (e.g. would we have to always login to our own domains on the iMac?

This is from a MobileMe page, so it may not fully apply, but it suggests you'll be able to use separate accounts for iCloud and iTunes.

If I use different accounts for iTunes and MobileMe, can I merge them into a single account and use it with iCloud?
No. You cannot merge two accounts into one. However, you will be able to move your MobileMe account ([email protected]) to iCloud and, if you choose, you can continue to use a different iTunes account for store purchases and iTunes in the Cloud.

  • Help with icloud and multiple users in iTunes

    Our family music is under my iTunes/apple id.  My mother, husband and I all synch to iTunes on one computer.  Can we set up multiple icloud accounts for synching our contacts separately?

    Yes, that's the usual advice - everyone use the one itunes account and each user has his/her own icloud account.

  • Totally confused with iCloud and multiple devices

    Ok, So we have two each of the iPods, iPads and now iPhones.  Do we all share the same iCloud? Can we share apps through the cloud? How do I switch my iPad to the new one I got to give this one to my son. I am so new to all this apple stuff. Only been a few months and I'm still really confused.  What all goes to the iCloud? How do we see what's in the iCloud?  I really the the idiots instructions I think to figure this all out?  Can anyone help me?  How can I print from the iPad?  Everything I see says iOS 10 something?  I believe I only have 6 something? 

    Do we all share the same iCloud?
    icloud is designed so that only one user uses it to keep his/her devices in sync.  When multiple users use the same icloud account, they will then be sharing the same email address, contacts, calendars, notes, etc.  Usually that is not what two people want to do.
    Can we share apps through the cloud?
    You buy apps from the itunes store, that's different than icloud, and multiple users can use the same itunes account so that they can share apps, music, etc.  For a family, everyone usually uses the same Apple ID for an itunes account and individual Apple IDs for their icloud accounts.
    How do I switch my iPad to the new one I got to give this one to my son.
    What do you mean by "switch.. ipad to the new one"?
    What all goes to the iCloud?
    Backups of iOS devices, Apple services that you turn on to share data (settings>icloud; on an iOS device), third party apps that use icloud to sync their data between devices, email, photo stream, and more.
    How do we see what's in the iCloud? 
    Icloud is designed primarily for syncing data between the devices of the user - like getting all computers and devices to have the same contacts or calendars.  When you set up syncing (settings>icloud, turn on the services you want synced between your devices), some of that data will also be available to a computer's browser when you log into icloud.com.  Otherwise you view the data using the associated app, like the Calendar app to see events.  Other things that may be on icloud, like backups cannot be seen.  Also iCloud does not provide a photo gallary that others can view in a browser.
    How can I print from the iPad? 
    For that you need an "airprint" compatible printer. See,
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    You can also print to a printer that's connected to a computer, but that computer needs special software, like Printopia for macs.
    Everything I see says iOS 10 something?  I believe I only have 6 something?
    There is no "10", version 6 is the current one.  You are probably thinking of OSX, whose versions are 10.x.y.  That's for macs, not iOS devices.

  • Hello,  I have iMac from Oct, 2010 and have OS 10.6.7 and multiple users.  Mail icon was accidently removed along with program.  Mail 4.4 is on other users but when I reloaded software my user got Mail 4.3. Mail 4.3 did not work with latest OS. Ideas?Matt

    Hello,  I have iMac Itel i3, from Oct, 2010 and have OS 10.6.7 and multiple users. 
    About 3-4 days ago the Mail icon in dock had question mark and was accidently removed, along with program on my user.  Oops.
    1. Mail 4.4 is on other users and works fine, but for me it does not work and tells me V4.3 does not work with latest OS X. 
    2. I reloaded software from my user with original disks  (Oct, 2010) and got Mail 4.3 again. Mail 4.3 did not work with latest OS.  I am unable to load Mail.  Gives Yellow error message.    
    "  You have Mail version 4.3 (1081/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.7 (Build 10J869). For more information, click the Help button."
    3. Tried to update software and look for update for mail 4.3 on Apple site to no success.
    Hate to go to MS-Entorage ( I may need to learn something new and alien) mail program since contracts are in Mail/Address Book.
    Ideas?

    Matt,
    I would download and run the 10.6.7 combo update.

  • Multiple users on a single iTunes account

    I am wondering if anyone knows how one will be able to manage multiple users under a single account under the new iOS5. Let me explain. In my house my wife and children download content ( movies, music, app) under my itunes log in so we can decide to watch the movie on my computer or my sons iphone without running into DRM issues. With the automatic syncing of pictures with iCloud I dont want my pictures and hers being mixed up but would like to each have an account. The problem is that I dont want to loose the ability of having the same DRM account for different itunes account. In other words, is there a way to associate a couple of me.com (icloud) emails / accounts to be associated with one itune store purchase account to be able to take advantage of sharing content with in the family. My apologies for the long winded question but I couldn't explain it any other way.:)
    Any insight is greatly appreciated. thanks

  • Firefox issues with multiple users on a single computer.

    I have an issue with Firefox and multiple users on my computer. There are two users setup and I'm running Win7 Ultimate x64. When the other user logs in, my settings in Firefox get screwed up somehow. Even if that user does not open Firefox.
    Examples of problems this causes:
    Gmail - Cannot load the standard interface, however it will load the HTML only interface.
    Facebook - Cannot post anything.
    vBulletin Forums - Some forums will no longer normally load - a text-only version loads as if I was browsing from a mobile device.
    There may be other issues, but these are the main ones. If I clear my cookies, cache and browsing and download history, then restart Firefox, everything works again.
    This seems to happen most often when the other user logs in, and uses Firefox to log on to their Gmail account.
    How can I fix this?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

    What I am expecting is to have PL/SQL statement which could help us in this regard.

  • DBMS_FGA.add_policy .. How to handle multiple tables and multiple users

    Dear All,
    My database is 11gR1 and Linux is the platform.
    I have more then 50 very important tables and around 15 database users.
    I want to implement fine grained auditing on these important tables.
    This is how I am going to implement it:
    SQL>BEGIN
    DBMS_FGA.add_policy(
    object_schema     =>     'Scott',
    object_name     =>     'SAL',
    policy_name     =>     'SALARY_CHK_AUDIT',
    audit_condition     =>     NULL,
    handler_schema     =>     'imran',
    statement_types     =>     'SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE',
    audit_column     =>     NULL);
    END;
    what is i have to pass multiple tables in object_schema and multiple users in handler_schema.
    I hope i am able to clear my question, any doubts please let me know.
    Regards, Imran

    Hi,
    object_schema - The schema of the object to be audited. (If NULL, the current log-on user schema is assumed.)
    in case if you like to audit for multiple users - then try to test by holding a null value and test access the important tables -where the relevant auditing records are generated as per your requirement or not. i have not tested.. try it

  • CProjects - Multiple Users Assignment to single task

    Hi All,
             Can we assign multiple users to a single task, by making them in a User Group.
    regards,
    rajesh.

    Hi rajesh,
    Sure, I hope, you are talk about cProject 4.0.
    You can create a role, which have different business partner (users) assigned . you can assign then such business partner (one or multiple) to the task.
    But you can only have a business parnter as responsible.
    Using User-Group is used only for the authorisation aspect.
    Kind regards,

  • Problems with 1 icloud account and multiple users.

    We have multiple users all on 1 icloud so we can share apps but also see what people have installed and because IT control the password its upto us what apps get installed. So in that sense this was a good idea. The problem we are having is that the iphone users photos, messages and other things are becoming available on other iphones on this 1 icloud account. So for example one user went on her photos to discover someone elses photos was in their and then also had messages from a contact who only her manager has (also one of the icloud users)
    Is there any settings we could change to keep the 1 icloud acount but make it so peoples photos and messages dont sync.

    Yes, you can turn off photos in icloud. (settings - icloud- photos)
    You can also allow users to use their own apple id's for imessages and facetime. Unlike icloud those can be changed any time, so that does not present security problem. Settings -messages and settings- facetime.
    If you dead set on using same apple id, you can make sure that every user only has their phone number checked in messages, so everyone has to go to settings- messages- send and receive and uncheck apple id.

  • Assign multiple users to a single role?

    I have a process where I need to assign multiple users to a given role.  In this case, I want one of the users to 'win', and take ownership of the process step.  (Imagine the situation where one user is the primary processor, the other is a backup; if the primary is out of the office, i want the secondary to have the ability to pick up the request).
    I've tried to assign multiple users to the same process role as follows:
    rtm.addRuntimeDefinedUserToRole(prInstance,  roleName, user, userContext );
    but the process is only assigned to a single user - from my testing, it seems to be assigned to the first user specified using the above api call.
    Is there a way to do this programatically?

    Hi,
    Can you please advice how you did this?
    I am using Visual composer as my UI. But with looks like i am not able to pass a structure from VC so i can map it to "Assign Users to Process role" CO.
    Per my understanding I need to write a program using GPI API which populates the User_List structure of the above CO. But after that i am not sure how to use this CO. Can anyone give me detailed instructions on how to use the "Assign Users to Process role" CO to assign multiple users to the role dynamicallly?

    Kumar.

  • X11 and multiple users?

    With multiple accounts on an iMac G5, and 10.5.1; is there a way the multiple users can utilize x11.
    An example, one user has started x11 for Open Office. The first user logs off.
    Later, a second user logs on their account and attempts an application, that requires x11. The application will not start because x11 cannot start for that user. This appears to be true until the first user logs back on and 'quits' x11.
    Is this normal?

    IIRC, you can't do that and have to terminate X11 or disable FUS. Start with http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8699.htm and the links it points to.

  • How to send emails to Multiple Users from a Single People Picker lookup field using Sharepoint designer workflow

    Hi All,
    I am working with SharePoint 2013 designer workflow. we are using office 365.
    Our requirement to send email to multiple users, get the user groups from lookup list people and groups column.
    But SP designer sending emails to the first user alone.
    Please guide me to proceed.
    Advance Thanks.
    Regards
    Jenkins NS
    Thanks and Regards Jenkins

    finally I got a solution
     Identified a workaround to solve the issue using SharePoint designer.
    Step 1
    Create a lookup list Example department
    Columns
    Title (by default) – Single line of text
    Users – Person or Group
    Emails – Multiple lines of text
    hidden the Emails column (go to content type and set the column as hidden)
    Create a SharePoint designer Workflow
    Start Workflow automatically when an item is created
    Also Start Workflow automatically when an item is changed
    Workflow Stage 1
    Set Emails to current Item: Users
    The workflow will get all users email ids and add in the Emails column delimiter as semicolon.
    Step 2
    Create a custom list to get the email ids and send email
    Create a lookup column ex: analysis and refer department list, Allow multiple values
    Then Create a SharePoint designer workflow
