ICloud notes and different apple ID

I have an Apple ID that I use to sign in to Yosemite. I also later on got a .mac account. The issue is when I click on iCloud in the System Preferences, (I'm signed in with my Apple ID not my .mac account) I cannot turn on notes syncing. It wants me to create a new iCloud account to sync notes. How do I solve this issue?

Found the answer. Open the Notes app. Choose Add Account, click iCloud and then sign in. It then adds your iCloud address to the system.

HT204053 can i change my icloud account to different apple id?

I have a different apple ID than I have on other things. I'm not sure why, but I wasn't very savvy about apple when I set it up. Is this a problem? I have constant problems with my contacts not syncing properly between imac, ipad and iphone. Contacts are constantly disappearing. Is this the reason?

Try checking Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) to be sure it's set to iCloud. This will ensure that new contacts are added to iCloud and not Hotmail. Then go to icloud.com to confirm that your contacts are in your iCloud account. Assuming they are, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a minute or so turn Contacts back to On. This will cause your iCloud contacts to reappear on your phone. This process of disconnecting your contacts from iCloud, then reconnecting again may cure your iCloud syncing issues.
Add a new test contact to your phone to confirm that it syncs properly with your contacts on icloud.com and your other devices. Assuming it does, you can delete it again. Hopefully things will stay fixed.

How to Configure iCloud with multiple iCloud accounts and one apple id

I need some help from the icloud experts. I almost have my arms around this, but not completely.
What I want to end up with is the following:
One account that both my wife and I use for shared contacts, calendars, photostream and find my device.
Separate account for my email among several devices.
Separate account for my wife for her email among several devices.
Now what I curently have is an apple id (*.mac.com), which is the main account used for purchases, etc. It has my mail, backups, and 25GB of space as a result from MobileMe.
I created a separate icloud account for my wife, using her Apple ID, so that her mail stayed separate from mine. However, now we have separate photo streams, contacts, etc, which is getting confusing and cumbersome.
I would like to keep my apple id as the main account since it already has the 25GB of space. So tell me if the following make sense.
I setup the master account using my apple id (the one with 25GB of space) for both of us, and enable the contacts and calendar syncing for all of our devices.
I turn the mail and Safari bookmarks syncing on for my devices; but turn it off for my wife's devices.
Then I use my wife's account on her devices to sync her mail, bookmarks, etc.
Would this work or is there another combination to use? Ideally a family oriented apple id would be good for the master account, but it wouldn't have the 25GB of space unless I purchased it. I'm trying to get around that if possible. I have tried to find something like this on the discussion boards but haven't had luck yet.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Set up your mac.com account again on devices. Turn off Mail and other data syncing with this account on your wife's devices for data that you want to keep separate. Then set up a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your wife's devices to sync Mail.
If you already set up a separate iCloud account on your wife's devices, on her devices go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in your your mac.com ID. Turn on the data you want to share with this account across all devices; don't turn Mail on. Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter her separate iCloud credentials and turn Mail to On.
The only downside to this approach is that her email will be fetch, not push email. Push email is only supported in the main ("primary") account, not a secondary account.
The limitations to be aware of with secondary accounts are that only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My Device. Also, push mail only works for the primary account; secondary account mail is fetch.

Can i use icloud drive across different apple id's?

My wife and I have different Apple id's and we want to work on the same documents. If I save them to my iCloud she can't see them. How do I share the documents between us both? Thanks

No, you will have to share those documents using other means, Dropbox, etc.

Can I have a separate iCloud account and a Apple Id account to keep my daughters phone seperate from mine for the contact?

My daughter's iPad and my iPhone 5 are under one Apple id. She was 10 and unless I lied about her birth date she could not have a email account. Now she is 11 and has a email acct (lied about the age) so she could facetime. Now she has the new iPhone 5c and I was told at the apple store to set her up a iCloud account and that way my contacts won't go on her phone. It didn't work so I just shut off the mail and contacts on my phone and hers so they won't blend. I still want to track her phone, her location and her purchases. I trust her, just not others.

In case it has escaped your view, these forums are Apple's Forums. If we help you violate Apple's rules, then we have a problem.
There are reasons for the age limits. Lying about them is certainly a poor lesson to teach your daughter.

Using airplay with multiple devices and different apple IDs

I have Apple TV, iPod touch and iPad utilizing 2 different apple IDs. I can't seem to get airplay working on both devices. Help appreciated

iWeb is an application you can use to create webpages with.
Formerly it was part of iLife. But it is discontinued.
It doesn't work with airplay.
And since this forum is about iWeb, chances are very slim you will get an answer in this forum.
Why not ask in the Apple TV, iPod touch or iPad forums?

HT3529 imessage and different apple id

can I have different Apple ID for downloading Apps as opposed to sending imessages?

If I sign in under the new Id does this mean that I will lose the Apps I have under the old ID? In short, I bought an IPod touch for my kids. Rather than buy new apps, i want to use and continue to buy new apps under my Apple ID, however, i want them to have their own AppleID for things like sending me an imessage while I'm at work. Sorry, I'm new to the whole process. Thanks for your help.

Can't change iCloud to a different Apple ID on iphone

My daughter's iPhone 4 have my Apple ID entered as the Apple ID for her iCloud account information. We want to change this to her own Apple ID, but the ID is "grayed out" and cannot be changed. I have turned off all iCloud services, rebooted the phone, and still can't change this.
As to how it got this way... my daughter tried to enter her own Apple ID after installing iOS 5, but the phone then stated that iCloud set-up failed; try again later. She then found that my ID had been entered for her. I am assuming it picked up my ID from the "Find my iphone" app - the entire family used my ID for find my iphone, so we could see each other. We turned off Find my iPhone on her phone, and still can't change the ID. She succesfully entered her own ID in the Store settings on her phone, and later upgraded to 10.7.2 and set up iCloud with her Apple ID on her computer.
I'm thinking we should do a backup and restore of her phone to see if that resets the iCloud Apple ID setting, but don't want to go through that unless someone knows it works.
Suggested new feature: the iCloud web site should have a way to monitor which devices are using an account, and provide a way to kick a device off an account.
Thanks
(apologies - I just found another thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/16365618 with very similar question but not sure how to delete this post entirely)

Duh-o, found the answer to my own question. Just scroll to the bottom of the prefs pane for iCloud (Settings-iCloud) and select "Delete Account". You can then enter the correct information.
What can't be answered is why entering the correct account info at set-up failed on 3 phones so far in our family. For all 3 of these I'm having to take the "delete account" route.

ICloud notes and email setup

Hey guys, really quick question. When I turn on either mail or notes in the iCloud settings it asks me to create a me.com email address. Can anyone tell me why?

Because you need an Apple provided @me.com email address to use the email and notes syncing features of iCloud. You can't use an email address from another provider with those features.

TS4002 iCloud not working in Apple Mail - cannot change server settings as they are greyed

I have been having some issues with Apple Mail for a while - constantly being asked for passwords, etc. Then some days my iCloud mail will not work at all. It then magically comes back to life after a day offline. This has been happening regularly since the move from Mobile Me to iCloud.
I have read a few threads about Keychain, etc, but so far nothing I have tried has worked.
Any suggestions?

Luke:
Sorry that I cannot give you an answer. I am having the same problem. I have the correct exchange settings. I even turn off autodiscovery and set the external and internal servers to the same settings. Mail partially works, but it will "forget" older email items when they are still in an inbox. This is NOT an issue with iOS, so I think there is a bug in the Mail program. I am still searching for an answer as well. Right now I am resorting to exchange webmail on my mac. This seems to be only a mail problem. My calendar and tasks sync fine.
