Transferring contacts between two apple id's

I have generated two separate apple ID's and wondered if there was a way to transfer the contacts from one to the other?

Probably the easiest way to do this is to export them from one account by going to icloud.com as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606, the import the exported contacts to the other account on iCloud.com as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605.

Sharing all contacts between two Apple ID's??

My wife and I were using one Apple ID for a number of years. Then Family Sharing came along. There are some good reasons to use this new feature. So, I got a second Apple ID for my wife. Everything is going well, until we noticed the Contacts on the new Apple ID are missing. It is a new account that why. So, Question, How can I share the complete set of contacts on one Apple ID with a second Apple ID ???

Can I have a Face Time conversation between two Apple devices using the same Apple ID?

Can I have a Face Time conversation between two Apple devices using the same Apple ID?

Yes, you can, but the two devices can't have the same e mail address associated with both. Each, device needs its own unique e mail ADR. In your case, the iPod can call your iPhone if you use the phone number, but the iPhone can not call your iPod because it must use the e mail address, and if the email address is the same on both, the iPhone will think it's calling itself, so the call will not go through.

Switching between two Apple IDs - 90 day wait?

I have been smoothly transitioning between two apple IDs on iTunes for the last year. I have just switched from PC to Mac and suddenly there's a message that states I have to wait 90 days before I can associate another Apple ID with this device. I don't really understand what this means, especially since I've already successfully logged in to both Apple ID accounts in iTunes on my new Mac. I don't want to wait 90 days every time I buy something from one account before it will let me buy something from the other (is this what this means?) I'd really appreciate an explanation from the learned Mac-user community. Thanks so much for your help!

Thank you, I did find that information myself, but it didn't really make things clearer to me. Once the 90 days is up will I be able to switch back and forth as I please? Or do I have to wait 90 days every time I want to switch IDs?
You can switch back & forth now as you please for new purchases (not for redownloading). 90 days is for redownloading.
iTunes prefs > Store.
Uncheck Automatic Downloads.
And why wasn't I aware of this wait time on my old PC device?
You never saw this because Automatic Downloads was not ticked.

Sync contacts between two macs

I would like to use iCloud to sync my Contacts between two Macs.How do I get the Contacts "On My Mac" to do this?
Thanks,
Frank

Thanks. You said: "When you setup iCloud the On my Mac contacts should've been moved to iCloud I think (can't remember what happened in my case)."
Actually that does not happen, or at least it didn't happen to me.

Sync contacts between two account iCloud

Hi everyone,
Me and my wife both have iphone. We usually used just one iCloud account, so we had shared calendar, contacts etc. etc. which is very useful for us.
Since Siri has arrived it begun to create troubles with the contacts, because the contact marked as "me" is the same for both iphones, so on my iphone siri calls me with the name of my wife...
Now with the new "family" function with iOS 8 i can finally separate the iCloud accounts on our iphones, and still have the same apps, calendar etc. on both of them.
My problem is with the contacts, we would like to keep the same contacts on both iphones and synched, but i can't do that with the "family" function.
Anyone can suggest me a way to sync contacts between two account iCloud selecting which information to share?
Thanks

Thanks. You said: "When you setup iCloud the On my Mac contacts should've been moved to iCloud I think (can't remember what happened in my case)."

Transferring applications between two Macs in different locations?

What is the easiest way to copy an application between two Macs? I originally installed a graphics program on my old eMac G4, then used the Migration Assistant to transfer it to my new iMac G5. I then reinitialized the old G4 and didn't bother to reinstall the graphics program, but now I would like to have it on this machine as well and I can't find the original install disk for this application. Complicating matters is that the machines are now in two different places, one at home, one at work. This is an expensive program, so I would hate to have to buy another copy and am kicking myself for not being able to find it. Thanks for any help...

If you can't find the original install disk for the program, contact the program vendor. Some may offer you a replacement disk for a nominal fee. And be sure to follow whatever license agreement you have for the purchase of that software. If it can't be installed at both home and at work, and you can't afford another copy of that program, you may want to seek a cheaper alternative.

Using contacts with two Apple ID's

I have a personal iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro for which I have an Apple ID under which I keep my contacts. I recently started a new job and they gave me an iPhone for work purposes, however I need to have a separate Apple ID for that phone. I realize I can't use two Apple ID's on one phone. Is there any way to update my contacts from my personal phone/Apple ID to my work phone/Apple ID?

Setup another user account on your Mac. You use your Apple ID on your account and the other person on theirs.
Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Password tab.
Click the gold padlock icon bottom left corner of the window. You will be prompted for your admin password.
Now click + to create a new acocunt.
Select: Show fast user switching menu as and make a selection.
You should see an account name top right corner of your screen. From there you can switch accounts.

File Transfers slow between two iMac 5K Retina Macs on same network

I have been looking for a few weeks for a solution to my slow network file transfers between two new iMac 5K Retina Macs. They both are high-configured and only have SSD storage. They run OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and all other updates are current. I have tried via ethernet and wi-fi (type N) and get about the same results. The worst part is I have 30+ mbps internet speed and I can download a huge file quicker than I can copy it between two $4K Macs!!!!. The speed is about 1-2MBytes/sec. If I copy a folder with say 1.5GB in 7 files it takes 16 mins or so.
I have tried afp://, smb://, cifs:// protocols and all are slow.
My previous iMacs and MacBook Pros with Snow Leopard never had this issue.
Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem but i think the problem is somewhere in the user settings.
i created a 500mb file and tried to copy it to the OSX server - it took 6 minutes to transfer. this is a brand new mini - with user data restored from a time machine backup of a MBP.
i switched users on the mini to admin user and the transfer took less than 5 seconds
other macs on the network transferred the same file in 5 seconds.
what settings should i be looking at with the user in question?

How may I un-merge contacts between two different Apple ID accounts?

This evening I was trying to see if my daughters information for the App Store could be viewed on my iPhone 5. I deleted my Apple ID and logged into my daughters Apple ID on my phone. I inadvertently merged our contact lists in the activation process. Could some please give me instruction on how to un-merge the two contact lists? I would like to get this done with least amount of headache and time. I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.3 and my daughter has an iPod Touch (gen 4) running iOS 7.0.3.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't easily unmerge them. make sure you have reset your accounts so that you are both logged into the accounts you should be (your own) and then manually delete the contacts you don't want.

Can I share contacts between different Apple ID accounts on Icloud?

I would like my wife to have access on her iPhone to the contacts on my iPhone. We have different Apple ID's. Can I share my contacts with her through iCloud?

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I specifically do not want to have her use my ID because any changes she makes would affect my contact list. Somewhere along the line, i thought someone said that contacts can be shared between iCloud accounts. Perhaps I did not hear it right. I think what I will do is transfer my contact list to our desktop computer (which is set up with the same ID as my wife's iPhone).
Thanks, again, for your time.

Unable to Share contacts between two specific users in Outlook 2013/Exchange

My brother is trying to share his contacts with his associate, and she is trying to share them back. He managed to right-click on his contacts folder and send out the invitation. She successfully accepted the invitation, and she also accepted his request
for her to share her contacts with him. When the email arrived, we clicked on OPEN, but we received an error stating that the shared folder could not be opened.
We tried with another employee, and we could share my brother's contacts with him, and he could share his contacts with my brother. Likewise, he was able to share his contacts with the associate, and the associate could share her contacts back with the employee.
I am not sure what to do now.
We made sure that the associate either manually entered the address for my brother, or she clicked on TO and found the address in the global address list. She did NOT begin to type and then accept the suggested address (we are aware that this will cause
sharing to fail).
What else can we try? Are there any procedures to determine what the current problem is?
Thank you.

Hi,
Please make sure the Contact folder permissions are set correctly between these two users. Then we can use the following steps to open the shared contact:
1. Open Outlook and switch to People/Contact Navigation Pane.
2. Click Open Shared Contact in Ribbon.
3. Type the user name who have shared Contact folder to this user or directly click Name button to select the user.
4. Click OK to open the shared folder.
Then the shared contact folder can be listed under your Contact folder list.
