Is iPhoto able to accommodate two iCloud accounts

My daughter and I both have the iPhone 4s. We both have seperate iCloud accounts but we use the same computer. We both want our photos backed up into iphoto but I can only seem to log in 1 icloud account on my mac and only that phone has it's photos backed up. Is there any way iPhoto can have 2 icloud accounts backed up?

No. I would suggest using the old fashioned USB cable to iTunes on the comptuter for one of the phones. Or, the ideal is to set up your daughter with her own account on the Mac, than she can set up her iCloud account there.

Two icloud accounts, one iPhoto stream

This icloud question may have already been answered so appologies if this is a duplicate post but me & my husband both have iphones with seperate apple ID's which sync with our imac, will we be able to sync both icloud accounts to our iphoto stream or will we have log in & out with our sepereate ID's or will it be best to just use the one account for both?

Hi....
What we've done so far is to just use the one account which we set up on the iMac & just disabled the contact sharing. I was having a look on the macrumours website & news from the developers is that you can use two accounts but for some reason certain functions are disabled in the secondary account namely the iPhoto stream.

I think i may have two iCloud accounts how can i merge them?

I think i may have two iCloud accounts as i changed my apple id, I don't seem to be able to access the other. How can i see my documents in the cloud

Hello HVD64
I'm afraid there is no way too merge two icloud accounts together per se. However if you;
1. Go to SETTINGS on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Go to iCLOUD.
3. Scroll to the very bottom, press DELETE ACCOUNT. Before you panic, this is not going to Delete your iCloud account. It is simply going to delete the bridge that connects your device to the iCloud.
4. Choose to KEEP ITEMS ON YOUR DEVICE if asked.
Then sign into your 2nd account, and this will merge both accounts onto one device. There is not much else you can do I'm afraid!
Kind regards

I have two iCloud accounts and want to merge them

I have accidently set up two iCloud accounts and now I need to merge them to get rid of one so that all my accounts are in one place. I have not been able to get my PC Outlook file synced with since Mobile Me is no longer available and I just now figured this out.

You cannot merge them. You could manually export all the data from one and reimport it into the other: or you could sign in with one in System Preferences>iCloud and with the other in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars, which would make both sets of data available on your Mac.

Two iCloud accounts for work and home?

On my iPad2, I have a home email account and a work email account and work calendar. If I set up a second (work) user account on the family iMac, can I have two iCloud accounts to keep work and home separate? I would like to share pictures, home emails, etc with my wife's iPad and iPhone, but not share the work email and work calendar. Will I be able to have both iCloud accounts share with my iPhone 4s and iPad? For now, I am using a google calendar for work on the iPad2 and sync it to Google.

That's not a problem, you can create a second account from system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars, click on the small plus icon in the bottom left corner, choose iCloud from the list of options, click on the 'create Apple ID' button and follow the rest of the instructions.
Note however, a secondary account has all the features of a primary account apart from photos stream and Back to My Mac, only your primary account can use these features.

How do I merge two iCloud accounts?

I accidentally created a different iCloud account from my old Mobile Me and an entirely new one. The old Mobile Me one wasn't working on all my devices, but the new one is, so I want to merge the old into the new. Is that possible?

To move contacts between accounts:
Go to users and groups and choose only your iCloud Contacts to display. If you are logged into two iCloud accounts you will need to make sure you select the right one.
Ensure that nothing is typed in the search field.
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.
Delete the contacts from Address Book (using your delete key).
Make sure your iCloud (the one you want to keep) account is your default account (preferences > general).
Select All iCloud contacts (the one you want to keep) from users and groups.
Drag the file you previously dragged to your desktop back onto Address Book.
You might want to back up all your contacts before you begin.
Select All contacts in users and groups
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.

How can I have one "family" Apple ID and two icloud accounts one for me and one for the wife?

MacVirgin!Just got new Air and iMac (iphones on the way). How can I have one Apple ID but two iCloud accounts (one for me and one for my wife)? I have set up one iCloud account and am attempting to share contacts between iMac, iCloud and Air, however iMac and iCloud are not in sync? I must be missing something very simple.

ok. I set up the imac and Air with one user account. this was used to activae iCloud on both machines and I have now se up one iCloud account and managed to share calander and contacts between the two. Ultimately both me and my wife will have an iphone and we wish to share calenders and contacts. We both also use the imac and air on one user account. It looks like I need to set another user account then activate iCloud in my wifes Apple ID

How do I combine two icloud accounts

Hello. I have five apple products. I also have two icloud accounts. Can I merge the two and if so how?

No, you cannot merge two account. You could set up and use both accounts on your devices for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, but would have to decide which account you prefer to use for services like iMessage, Photo Stream, Find My iPhone, Documents and Data.

I have two iCloud accounts, my original one that I used for iTunes years ago which has all my content, apps etc and a mobile me one which I got when I set mobile me up which has all my settings etc, this is causing problems, can I merge them?

As I said I have two iCloud accounts, both do different things, i.e. my original iTunes account has all my app's and music etc, and then also the account which was set up for me when I set up a 'mobile me' account has all my calendars, contacts, settings etc, how can I merge these or even easily set my settings etc to go to my older iTunes account, I have tried to set up family sharing and all I can share is my calendars not my apps because they are with another iTunes account.
I am also a little concerned that my fire vault has just set its self up using the mobile me account, if I was to get rid of an account I imagine this would be the easiest one to ditch then what would happen to all my encrypted data?
Many thanks for your help.

I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

No really. See:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
You can resolve the Messages and similar FaceTime problem by first setting them up using the Apple /iTunes ID email address and then adding another email messaging/calling email address and then deleting the Apple/iTunes ID email address.

Photostream not working - two iphones, one itunes account, two icloud accounts

Hello,
My wife and I both have iphones (both 4s). I have had mine for some time and she got hers last week.
We have one itunes account. We have two icloud accounts.
We cannot get shared photostreams to - my phone will not receive invites from hers. It works the other way round though.
All the settings are correct and switched on.
Please don't send me to the FAQ page as I have tried everything on there to no avail
Thanks
Matt

The quickest and easiest thing to do is take the desired iPhone and connect it to the desired iTunes account. This most likely will erase and data on the iPhone and replace it with the data from the itunes account it is connected to.

I have two iCloud accounts and I want to delete one, help!

I have two icloud accounts and I want to delete one and have the one across all my devices, however, I have tried a number of times, I have deauthorised all my computers on the old icloud/apple account, yet every time I log back onto my main compputer, the old account comes up. I have tried everything, any help would be appreciated....

You can't delete an iCloud account. You can, however, sign out of that account and just stop using it. Then sign in to your second account on all devices account.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can add more than one account to your iPad, but you can only have one primary account. Secondary accounts which you can add at settings> mail, contacts, calendars do not have all the features of a primary account such as photo stream.
