Same Apple ID, different Cloud Accounts HELP!

My husband and I each have an iPhone underneath the same apple ID but we each want to have separate iClouds so that our contacts and notes do not get mixed up. Need help on this issue.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Whoever it is that is going to use a different ID should delete the existing account from their device at settings > iCloud and then sign in with their new ID.

My MacBook and my iphone - 2 Apple IDs,Diff Cloud Accounts..Seeking Advice

I know I should have been able to decode an answer to my dilemma from other posts, but I can't. I apologize in advance and would be grateful for any advice. I have a .mac apple ID from years past which has been the ID that I have used (and my three kids have used exhaustively) to purchase itunes apps, musics and other goodies (many, many purchases). It is the account linked with our collective 4 family iphones (including home sharing) and the App Store, etc. When ios5 came out, I created a cloud account using that Apple ID.
I had separately created an second Apple ID for mobile me about a year ago that would permit me to use the email feature and provide me with an additional back up email from my regular provider (and a means to transfer contacts, documents, etc from the MacBook pro I use to coordinate my existence . When I just moved from MobileMe to icloud, my macbook pro created an icloud account using that name, complete with a fair bit of generous storage for the next couple of months. My MacBook pro will not allow me to change the Apple ID, such that my computer is now syncing with the .me account and my iphone is syncing with the .mac account.
Any thoughts on how I can resolve this? I have tons of purchased apps and music on the .mac account, but my principal contacts, photo stream and essential docs are on the .me acct which actually has the space to handle my excessive collection. I would appreciate any ideas or thoughts and thank you for explaning what is probably fairly straightforward! I feel like I have an emerging split personality.

Share music on same mac with different user accounts

I'll try to make this clear, i have an imac with a large itunes collection. my two kids have accounts on that same mac, and want to be able to listen to what i have in my itunes. i can't see putting three copies of the same music on the same computer. is there a way to let them play what i have in my itunes account while they are logged in to their own account on the same computer?
imac (5 years old) Mac OS X (10.4.6) macbook, G4 I book, I book, Imac
macbook w/ superdrive, G4 with combo drive, I-book w/o cd burner Mac OS X (10.4.6) macbook, G4 I book, I book, Imac

Jase, you said "Music sharing works across different user accounts, whether they are on the same computer or different computers", but my son will log into his account where he currently has no music. in the window on the left, we can see the other computers in the house that are on line, but there is no sign of the master account (on that same imac). i assume this is because the master account is not logged in, therefore the secondary accounts can't find the master account's music, nor can I from a remote computer ( my macbook, for example). for instance, right now from my macbook i can see my son's itunes list (on the imac) in my "share window" (even though his list is empty). he can also see my macbooks list in his "share window". he cannot see either my list on that imac, or his sisters list on that same imac. all acounts on the imac have sharing turned on, as well as "look for shared music" turned on.
i guess the focus is on this: can the master user itunes list be made available to other users on that same computer while they are logged in as other users (and the master account is logged off, which it has to be in order for the secondary accounts to be logged in, right?) I can't think of any other way to ask this, so i hope that clarified what we have tried and what we are asking for.

HT4759 Can't get in Cloud. States ID valid for Apple but not Cloud Account. Is there more than one Cloud. Is the new Windows 8 messing up my iTunes?

ID is valid for Apple but not iCloud account? Is there more than 1 cloud?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You are trying to log in iCloud for the first time. You have to set up iCloud first on a iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac before being able to set it up on a PC. See > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup
If you haven't got a iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Mac to set up iCloud, you can't use iCloud until you have one

Thanks in advance.

HOW TO SHARE MY ITUNES LIBRARY WITH MY WIFE ON SAME IMAC WITH DIFFERENT USER ACCOUNTS AND APPLE ID'S. PLEASE HELP, SOMEBODY!

I just created an Apple Id for my wife and a user account for her. We are on the same computer (iMac). I cant for the love of God get my itunes library to show on her user account on computer. My library shows up under shared library when i select it it just keeps loading and nothing. When i try the hold down option while opening itunes on her user account and then choose library my library doesnt show up as option. What in the world am i doing wrong, why is Apple making this so difficult. We are not going to buy separte computers just to share itunes content. Please help.

You can sync devices with the same iCloud ID, not seperate ones.
If she has a different login on your Mac, make sure she has her own ID defined in System Prefs > iCloud

HT204053 I'm having problems setting up my I cloud account help I let on entering the same apple I'd I have still nothing

Having problems logging into my iCloud account I keep using the same email address help please.

Where is it you are trying to enter your email address, what exactly are you trying to do. If you enable mail syncing in your iCloud settings, your mail account is automatically set up for you, you do not need to enter any of the details yourself.

HT204053 how do I recover back up that i had on a different device but same apple id and could account

How do I put the back up from another divice with the same icloud and apple ID?

Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

Apple TV - can I pair my macbook and my wife's macbook at the same time with different itunes accounts?

Just bought the Apple TV2 yesteday.
I'd like to pair both my macbook and my wifes macbook to the Apple TV. We both have seperate iTunes accounts.
Is this possible without having to sign on or the other out of apple TV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can do that. The key to this is remembering your homesharing ID and your iTunes account ID are not the same thing (although you can use your account details for your homesharing details)
Set up homesharing in both instances of iTunes using the same information in each, your Apple TV will then see both libraries.

Share Photos on the same iMac with different user accounts... How do You???

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to share photos with another user (same computer, different log-in names) on the same iMac?
There are two users on my iMac and I want to be able to share photos and other documents, music etc. with them, but can't seem to do it.
Please help.
Thank you.

What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. The problem here is that OS X works very hard to keep your data safe and secure from the other users. You're trying to beat what's built in to the system. So, to beat the system
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
Lastly: This method seems a little clunky at first, but works very well. Most importantly, it uses the System to do the job for you.
Create a new Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
This means that both users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
If you want to add photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose.
To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.
No partitioning, no permissions issues. Uses no extra disk space. What's not to like?

My house has 3 iPhones all on the same apple Id and icloud account. I created another apple I'd to use just for myself and did an icloud backup. Does this backup store the music that was purchased through the apple id I use for the store?

So will icloud backup the music and apps I currently have then when I restore from backup put these songs and apps back on my phone?

Nope. Your iCloud account has nothing to do with your ability to redownload previously purchased music. It's tied to your Apple ID. The only restriction is that once you download a previously purchase, enable iTunes Match on your device, or turn on Automatic Downloads in Settings>iTunes & App Stores, your device is then "associated" with the ID that you are using. Once associated in this way, you cannot associate it with a different ID for 90 days. This means, for example, that you can't download previously purchased music from one ID and then immediately change IDs and download music purchased with a different ID...you have to wait 90 days before you can change.
Also, as mentioned ealier, it doesn't matter if the music is on your phone, it isn't included in the backup. You should be storing your purchased music and other media in your iTunes library; then you can sync it back whenever you want. To transfer purchaed media to your iTuines library, connect your device to iTunes, then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

Same emails from different email account

I have my email account with different email servers like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Ymail etc.... If any one of my friend send me email then he mark copy of his email to all of my email addresses. Like this I get more than 5 emails from his side In my Unified folder.
Is there any possibility that in case if I receive same emails to my different email addresses then it shows only one email of my default email account or I compact all emails together.
pls adv.

Tell your friend to send the message to only one of your email addresses.

How do I share music from different itunes accounts in the same Mac, in different users account on that Mac with different iPhones?

Hi
My wife and I share the same Mac.
She has her session and I have mine thus each of us has our iTunes session with our own music and settings.
She has her iTunes account and I have mine too.
And..;)...she has her Iphone and of course I also have mine.
So, the big question:
Both like music that the other has bought but we do not want to buy it twice! (through her account and mine).
Is there a way to share music I purchase so she can have it in her iTunes session and therefore have it also on her iPhone when she syncs..and of course viceversa for me too?
It goes without saying that although we like music the other one has, we do not like all of the music, so basically we want to have the possibility to share those special songs we like so we can have them both in our phones and individual Itunes sessions.
Was that clear or I lost you???
Any answer will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

First of all if you havent done it yet i think u shold authorize the mac on both accounts on itunes. You also can switch the accounts on your Iphones at itunes while you are in the internet adn download the music.
This is just an idea you should think of. For sure there are other ways I dont know.
