iOS does not support multiple users like a desktop OS does.
You can use a web interface to your respective email accounts
to keep things separate; but there is no provision for otherwise
separating photos, media, etc.
If you wish, you can contact Apple to let them know of your desire:

  • Can I have two apple TV boxes in the same home / wifi area, ar there any issues i should be aware of?

    can I have two apple TV boxes in the same home / wifi area, are there any issues i should be aware of?

    I was in a hotel a few month a ago.  The hotel also had a portal page you have to sign in.  Of course the ATV didn't a web browser and could not sign in to the portal and connect to the Internet, so your iTunes didn't work.  (But your ATV should be connected to the router at that point already, just the portal won't open the port to pass through your ATV's traffic)
    So what I did was to use AirVideo app on my iPad and AirVideo server on my Mac. Selected the movie on  my iPad using the AirVideo app and then selected my AirPlay device on my iPad to AppleTV.  Because this setup didn't require iTunes, so there was no need for a live Internet connection, and just a connection to the hotel router was enough.  It was very easy.
    (Of course, you can subsititude the iPad with an iPhone here too)

  • HT2542 Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?

    I am wanting to download music to my Thunderbolt smart phone (i know, no iphone yet, next upgrade) and I want to use itunes to do it. My partner has an itunes account and I thought I opened my own itunes account, but apparently I didn't. I don't like the same music and only want to download music I like to my phone. Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?

    I'm confused
    Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?
    Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?
    Do you want one or two?
    By the way, and iTunes account is really the thing you use online to purchase music, not what you have on a computer.  You have user accounts on a computer, and you have iTunes libraries or collections of media.  You can have multiple user accounts on a computer.  You can have a single or multiple user accounts use a single or multiple libraries.  We need to know exactly what it is you have/want.

  • Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same mac?

    Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same account? I am having trouble accessing mine from my sons.

    Yes you can.
    The fact you cannot access your son's library from your User account is intentional. User accounts on your Mac are nearly as separate from each other as your Macs are from anyone else's on the planet. To copy music from his account to yours, first copy it to the Shared folder, then log into your account and import the music. Then, you can erase it from Shared.
    The Shared folder exists at /Users/Shared.

  • HT204053 Can you have two Apple id's on the iCloud for iMac?

    Is it possible to have two seperate Aplle ID's on the iCloud app for the iMac?

    You can add secondary icloud accounts by click the apple >> system preferences, mail contacts and calendars.  The secondary account can't do everything that the primary one can, but maybe it'll suit your purpose.
    John's solution of separate user accounts is ideal, though, of course.

  • HT204053 When I set up my I phone 5 I used a secondary e-mail address during set up of my Apple ID. I did not remember I had already an Apple ID from my lap top.  Now I have two Apple ID's and the one on my phone is the one with an e-mail address that I n

    I need Help with Apple ID's.  I have two with two different e-mail addresses.  I only want to have one!  How do I delete the account on my I-phone 5 and use the other account I have on my lap-top?
    Thanks.

    Go to Settings/General/Reset and choose Reset All Content and Settings. This will erase everything on the iPhone and allow you to set it up again as new with the proper Apple ID.

  • Can I have 2 different iTunes accounts on the one computer

    Can I have 2 different iTunes accounts on the one Mac computer

    Yes. If you mean Apple IDs, log in and out as needed. If you mean iTunes libraries, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose or create one, or use separate Windows user accounts.

  • Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?

    Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?
    If so do you know how to do it?

    It depends on what you want to do.
    You could, for example, have one AppleID for iCloud backup [and therefore message syncing, notes syncing, etc] and a second one for iTunes [music, iBooks, etc].
    But if you are looking for a way to flip everything between different appleIDs, then no.

  • Can you have two apple ids on one mac?

    Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud.  Is this possible?

    No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
    If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
    1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
    2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
    On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
    On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
    3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

  • HT3819 Can I have two apple accounts on a single device?

    Can I have two apple accounts on the same device?

    Don't know what that means.
    You can authorize your computer fro two accounts, then sync the content to the device.

    Neither of those Apps allow you to (easily) add iWork documents created or edited on the device to your online storage, you need to be using a webDAV server to be able to do that. In fact pretty much all you can add from the iOS device is photos and video without resorting to convoluted workarounds, intermediate apps or emailing finished documents to yourself. You can on the other hand view most of the content of dropbox/sugarsync through those apps, which in a lot of circumstances is useful, but without it working in both directions these apps are far from an ideal solution.
    E.g from the sugarsync website
    Yes, this may not be of too much interest to the OP, I was only trying to clarify the situation with iCloud.com/iWork for you.
    However that being said, there may be areas of interest for Computer to Computer syncing, given the recent changes made to iCloud.com/iWork. I wouldn't suggest iCloud sharing for archived documents, but for perhaps up to a couple of dozen documents in progress, iCloud sharing is now quite viable. If there is any chance at all of these documents being accessed on an iOS device then iCloud would become a preferred option to dropbox or sugarsync.

  • Can i have two different face time accounts on one apple id

    Would like to have two different face time accounts, one on mac book pro and one on ipad.  Can I have two different face time accounts on one apple id?

    You simply need to have a separate e-mail identifier for each.  One e-mail address would be associated with the mac book, the other separate and distinctive e-mail address would be associated with the i pad.  This is done under one single apple id.  Essentialy, the e-mail addresses are the FaceTime calling numbers for each.
