I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and on 2 new iPhones that have the same AppleID as the MacBook Pro. However only one iPhone will stream photos to iPhoto on the MacBook Pro. All these devices were purchased in the last 2 weeks. What setting is wrong?
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

Is it possible to have two (or more) different icloud mail accounts (not alias) under the same apple id? If not what is you best advice for all family members to have their own e-mail and still share the purchases under the same apple id. Thanks

There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that. You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
Unlikely. But nothing is impossible. Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream

Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important. -

FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.
FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.
This is the error message I receive when I try to add my phone to my Mac for proximity / FaceTime audio calling. This feature worked until I changed my Apple ID. I have updated my Apple ID everywhere I can think of updating it. I've signed out of Apple ID on my Mac, deleted EVERYTHING (calendars, contacts, etc.), signed back in, etc. I've done the same with my phone, and even done a power-down / reboot and nada. I keep getting this message from the Mac.
I can't figure out where else I should look for my old Apple ID to be logged into anything or creating problems. I've gone over my iPhone and Mac and I'm at a loss. As an aside (and yes, wrong forum), have lost the ability to do SMS forwarding since the Mac no longer receives the code from my iPhone to allow this feature to work. This was lost after signing out of the Apple ID on my Mac this afternoon.
Bluetooth is turned on for both devices. Both devices are on the same WiFi network. Both devices otherwise appear to be working correctly with the exception of the problems I'm having with FaceTime and iCloud being signed into the same Apple ID (which they are).
Thanks in advance,(By the way, I should have pointed out in my earlier posting that I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on my Mac). I Just installed latest Yosemite update while my iPhone was switched off, and when my Mac restarted, the 'iPhone Cellular Calls' checkbox in the FaceTime preferences was checked and the problem was therefore solved. Switched on my iPhone, still fine. Relief.

Cannot Turn On iPhone Cellular Calls - FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.
I *AM* signed into Facetime and iCloud using the same Apple ID. Why am I receiving this error all of a sudden? I make calls using my Mac and need this feature. I have tried disabling and re-enabling both over a dozen times. TRUST ME, it is NOT user error -- it is Apple releasing features before they are fully ready error!I'm pretty sure we can clarify whether or not we are on a Public Beta or not, despite NDA........

HT3964 I have a macbook pro and it randomly will turn off
I have a macbook pro and it randomly will turn off. This happens when the computer is plugged in and when it is not. The condition of the battery says: good.
I borrowed someones charger and after 5 to 10 minutes of charging it turned on. The charger light came on amber and was amber during the entire charge and has been green since. Unlike my charger which would only come on green, or very very dim green no matter what since the batter has died completely. Do you think that this is definitely the problem or is there anything I should check while I have it on and running?

How do you separate the iCloud on two iPads that use the same Apple ID
How do you separate iCloud accounts for people using the same Apple ID
You can share an AppleID between individuals for purchases from iTunes (music, movies, TV shows, books, etc.) while each having an individual iCloud account for syncing your personal calendar, contacts and iCloud files.
In my household......
We have a single AppleID for iTunes purchases which is used on all 8 of our iOS devics and 3 computers. That way all apps purchased from the Mac or iOS app stores or content from iTunes can be used on any device.
Each of us (3 of us) then has our own iCloud account. None of our iCloud accounts are the same as the AppleID. The iCloud accounts are used for device backups, contact and calendar syncing, iCloud document files and photostream.
This way, we all share apps and media, but our contacts and calendars are not mixed and neither are our documents. Each person having their own iCloud account also helps with space when dealing with device backups. -
Updated MacBook Pro and system won't turn on
Tonight I applied an update to my wife's MacBook Pro and it applied 4 updates to the system, no different than usual. It was plugged in and once applied it restarted then went to sleep. I tried to wake the system and it didn't do anything. I have checked the power supply on my MacBook and it works fine and vice versa with no green or amber light. I press the battery indicator light and it blinks like the battery is dead. I would think that perhaps the power connection or battery is toast except that it was working right before this with no issues whatsoever. I am hoping someone might be able to give another suggestion before I have to drive 2 hours to the closest Apple Store. Oh and I can't remove the battery because it has special screws so no resetting the SMC or whatever it is called. The system is only about a year old.
Hi rennekamp3,
If your machine currentlty won't boot past a grey Apple screen, you may find the following article helpful:

Note: If you get to the portion on starting from the Install Disks or performing an Archive/Erase & Install, you'll notice this article has not yet been updated for the more recent operating systems. In that case, you may want to refer to the following article:

Kindly help me out with this issue
Well, since all your devices are literally using the same iMessage account, of course they share posts.
The cleanest solution is for those other devices to get their own AppleID to use with iMessages so every device has its own unique iMessage account (same thing goes for iCloud).
You can have multiple AppleIDs, and you do not need to use the same one for all Apple accounts or services. e.g. you can use the common AppleID for the iTunes and App store to share purchased content, but use unique AppleIDs for iMessage and/or iCloud to keep those account separate. -
Updated my macbook pro and now it wont turn on
Okay so I'm on my MacBook and there is an update. I update my laptop. It was at 100% and my computer needed to restart for it to update. Update takes 11 minutes, It shuts down. I try to turn it on. You can hear the opening sound but nothing happens on the screen
You do not specify which model Macbook Pro you have. If it is one where you cannot remove the battery, try this:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Both computers which I have connected to my work internet show Time Capsule under SHARED but when I click on it, it hangs on Connecting and then says Connection Failed after a few minutes. Clicking Connect As just restarts the process of Connecting... but with an error saying "There was a problem connecting to the server "Justin's Time Capsule". "The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP adress, check your network connection, and then try again".... Any help would be great, I've browsed a bunch of the the threads and can't figure it out!
Thanks in advance!Reboot the TC.. this is common problem on Lion networking.
You may need to reboot the whole network.. don't know what your work network is so that might not be possible.. but a full reboot of the modem router TC and then clients in that order generally works..

How can I see My Photo Stream from two Macs associated with the same Apple ID?
I have a MacBook Pro (my personal machine) and an iMac (our family computer).
The iPhoto library housing all of our family photos lives on the iMac.
The iPhoto library on my MacBook Pro is currently empty.
I have an account on both machines. I have associated the same Apple ID with both machines.
When I launch iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and attempt to turn on photo sharing (so that I can see My Photo Stream, as well as other shared streams), iPhoto informs me that "iCloud Photos for xxx@xxx is being used with another library named 'iPhoto Library'."
My iPhone, which is also affiliated with the same Apple ID, shows the streams just fine.
What can I do to remedy this situation? I'd like to be able to view my shared streams on my MacBook Pro, while leaving the actual massive photo library on the iMac.I found out about this issue when I created a new library with some photo's I wanted to sync to my iCloud account. I found the following on the Fat Cat Software page and thought it might be helpful to others:
Using Photo Stream with multiple libraries
Starting in iPhoto 9.2, Apple introduced a new feature called Photo Stream, which lets you automatically transfer photos via their iCloud service between your iPhoto library and your other devices such as an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. This feature works when you have multiple iPhoto libraries set up, but there are a couple things to be aware of.
First, iPhoto will only allow Photo Stream to be active in one iPhoto library at any given time. If you've already enabled Photo Stream in one library, but then open a second library and enable Photo Stream there, this will cause Photo Stream to be turned off in the first library.
Any photos downloaded by Photo Stream are actually stored in an entirely separate location from any of your iPhoto libraries. This means that, even if you do switch Photo Stream from one library to another, you will not need to go through redownloading all the photos you already have in Photo Stream back from the iCloud servers. So, switching Photo Stream from one library to another is a relatively inexpensive operation, so you can do it as often as needed without it being much of a hassle. -
HT204053 Me & my wife have the same apple ID for our devices , how can we separate them
Me and my wife have share the same apple ID , now we want to separate them with different IDs , how can we do so , and can we keep the purchases we made on the app store , or if i changed the ID i will not be able to keep my purchases
Welcome to the Apple Community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
Your solution would be to use different accounts for iCloud and the same account for iTunes.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account") then create a new one using the "create Apple ID" button.
