Identify the Primary Account for a Contact on a report

I want to build a report that show cases all the accounts for a contact which I can do using the Account-Contact History report. The challenge that I am facing is to the particular contact I would like to identify their primary account. How would I do that? Anybody have any suggestions besides using Web Services

It would depend on how the data is loaded in your system.
In case of mine when I click on any Contact, then in the Account section I see only one Account Name which is the primary.
So if I just use Contact History and pull Contact Name, Account Name then I will get the list of all Primary Accounts affiliated to the Contact(1:1 relation)
I wonder how your system is like. Perhaps you can request the data guys to expose the Primary flag checkbox as a field in Analytics and simply use it.

I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

Both accounts are completely independent from each other. In order to use the space that you have purchased for your secondary account, you must change it to become your primary account. Yes, as you said, services like photo stream only work with the primary account. Unfortunately, there is no comfortable way to just transfer data from one account to another one, but you can do it via a third party application e.g. via Dropbox: e.g. for photos: photos stored with your current primary account > manual transfer to dropbox > after you made your secondary account to the primary account, transfer the photos back to your new primary account etc.

Hey Hindfromlondon,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Since you are posting here, I take it you already have an Apple ID.
You can setup that Apple ID to work with iCloud. See:
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
And you usually want to stick with one Apple ID as having multiples can cause confusion (especially with purchases).
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
What is an Apple ID?
An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.
and further down:
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Regarding iCloud storage check out
iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades - Apple Support
I encourage you to read all about it as there's lots of information out there.
Take care,

Yahoo mail account drops out randomly. I have 2 yahoo mail accounts on my Mac. The primary account works fine but the second account loses connection.

II have 2 yahoo mail accounts on my Mac. The primary account works fine but the second account loses connection. When I put in the password I get a message that it is not the correct password. The only way round it appears to be to go into Yahoo on Safari, log out then log bck in again. If I then go back into Mail and right click on the account I cn then get mail for this account without having to enter a password. The problem only started when I installed Lion, but is still the same in Mountain Lion.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Enter the details of her second account at system preferences> mail, contacts & calendars.

Backup your library using this User Tip.
The same tool can be used to backup other important user data.
Deauthorise the old computer
Restore the library into the music folder of your new profile. (Use the same tool as for the backup)
Install iTunes and sign in to your account.

Is there a way to see previous data usage if not the primary account holder?

I am not the primary account and therefore cannot look at bills to see previous usage. Is there anywhere on the website I could find this? I know in the past, I've been able to get the last 3 months (either from website or phone app, I don't remember which), but now Verizon has gone backwards and made it harder to get that information. Perhaps they don't want us to easily find how much is being used so they can bill us for extra overage charges, especially now that data is where their big bucks come from???

Only the primary I believe can. It has always been that way from what I remember.

Making a New Account the Primary Account

Hi, I experienced problems with one user account and switched everything over to a new user account labeled "apple". I want to rename "apple" and make it the primary account instead of another user account. is this possible? Thanks!

Hi Alex, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
Yes. First may I note that for security reasons you want to be in a standard account while surfing the internet. Assuming that is not the case, here is how to fix that and maintain your settings.
If the other account is not an admin account, make it into admin level.
Now change your surfing account into standard.
When surfing in an admin account it is too easy to get nasties into your system. There are very few now but who knows about tomorrow.
The concern re renaming accounts is loosing ability to find stuff. I would do a bit of research before doing that. Applications help. A Forum Search. etc.
Hope that's helpful. Post Back. Good Luck, JP

I need to remove myself as the primary administrator for a CC acount and assign to another administrator. How should I proceed?

I need to remove myself as the primary administrator for a CC acount and assign to another administrator. How should I proceed?

adobe forums, only to discover Adobe doesn't allow a primary admin to ever leave. This is rather silly as people leave workplaces, they don't stay for life. An answer in a different forum on this site said one must cancel their adobe account, then start a new one. Though... Adobe doesn't allow a person to cancel their adobe account. It all must be done via Adobe customer service, which has proved non existent. There is no email address to email a request, there is a chat option which claims 24/7 chat however this functionality doesn't seem to work on my new Lenovo computer, current IE explorer running Windows 8.
Adobe - you really need to sort this out. I have left the work place where I was the Team Administrator some months ago now and now I need to be removed from that workplace account completely. Currently, I still have full access to it, which is not good from a security point of view because if I were a disgruntled ex-employee I could play havoc with my workplaces subscription and access their confidential files stored in the cloud.
Looking through the Forum, there is a great deal of conversation on this exact point. I'd suggest you answer this one, then create a sticky so people don't keep creating new threads and then see about resolving the issue so that Primary Admins can change in future, and be removed when they leave the workplace.
Thanks

HT204053 I started using iCloud on all my Apple products before MobileMe shut down, setting up a new ID and password to do that. When MobileMe moved to iCloud, it became my primary account for iCloud and is interfering with everything I had done before.

I started using iCloud on all my Apple products, using a new password and ID, before MobileMe shut down. Apparently I shouldn't have done that, because when MobileMe moved to iCloud, it automatically became my primary account and took over everything I had previously set up on my iCloud account. I would like to eliminate the MobileMe account, but I can't find a way to do it. Anyone have any experience with this? It's making me very frustrated with iCloud.

The primary account is the one signed into in System Preferences>iCloud (or on an iPhone Settings>iCloud). If it isn't the account you want to use, simply sign out and the sign back in with the required account. On signing out your data will be removed from your Mac but not from the iCloud server.
If you want to you can sign in with the other account in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars - you can sync that account's email, contacts and calendars and they will appear alongside the equivalent data in the primary account.
The main differences are that the secondary account's email will not be 'pushed' but will be checked periodically, and the secondary account cannot use PhotoStream.

How do I change the primary administrator for Creative Cloud for teams?

How do I change the primary administrator for Creative Cloud for teams? The previous admin has taken another position and is no longer responsible for managing the CC Team.

Currently you cannot change the primary admin on a CCT membership. As a workaround, follow these steps:
Cancel the existing team membership: You can cancel the membership without any penalty. The accounts for team members change to trial mode. Members can still access their saved data in the cloud storage. To cancel the membership, click theChat Now button at the bottom of this page to initiate chat with a live agent.
Buy a new team membership; use the Adobe ID for the new primary admin.
Reinvite team members using the new primary admin account.
The team members have to accept the invitation and log in to the Creative Cloud Desktop app again. Their apps are activated under the new team account.

Help!

Deleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud. In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens. Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device. It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days. When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question. However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload). Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this. If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account.

How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only. I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6. Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them. I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account. If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save Image. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted. Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account. Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

I just got an iPhone 5S, now when I try to use my old iPad the apps won't work because they are syncing with my new phone. Can I have the same account for an old iPad and a new iPhone?
