Two iCloud accounts in Notes

I have two iCloud accounts that show in Notes. The one that has content is syncing perfectly with my iPhone and iPad, the other is empty. Does anyone know how to delete the second account? As you can see below, the "Delete folder" option is grayed out.
I've tried the suggestions at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4153328 but they don't work for me. I'd sure appreciate some insight on this from someone who might have experienced the same thing.
Thanks!

Back up all data.
Check the Mail, Contacts & Calendar preference pane to make sure you're not synchronizing Notes in more than one account.
If you're not, disable Notes synchronization temporarily.
Quit Notes, if it's running.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
Copy the whole line of text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop.
The folder you're moving is named "com.apple.Notes" It is not the subfolder named "Data" or anything else.
Re-enable Notes synchronization.
Relaunch Notes and test. If it works now, delete the folder you moved. Otherwise, quit again, and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place.
Caution: If you delete some or all of the contents of the selected folder, but leave the folder itself in place, the application may not launch. Deleting the folder will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Two iClouds accounts in Notes ?

On my MacBook, I have two iCloud accounts appearing in Notes and hence I receive all notes twice (not a life-threatening problem but slightly annoying). The iMac which seems to be set up the same way does not exhibit the same problem. I only have and I am only logged in with one me.com account (to the best of my knowledge).
I have tried deleting the iCloud account (in Preferences > Mails, contacts, calendars), then reconnecting and re-booting,... but the two accounts always show up in Notes. Sometimes Notes will even crash when receiving a notes from the iPhone for instance or trying to write and sync a note. Hence there seems to be a little bug and it seems it appeared when I moved to Mountain Lion. I have even tried reinstalling Mountain Lion but I can still see two iClouds accounts in Notes. The only way to get ride of one iCloud accounts is to uncheck it from iCloud in Preferences > iCloud or Preferences > Mails, contacts, calendars but it seems to me odd because the notes will still sync with the same me.com account I just unchecked. Again, I do not have the same issue with the iMac.
Anyone encountered the same problem and (hopefully) found a solution? Thanks in advance.

I have two. Actually I kept searching after asking my questions and actually just found the solution... There it is :
I deleted : ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes. Duplicate accounts disappeared in Notes and everything is working well now.
Thanks for your help

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.

HT204053 Can I set up two iCloud accounts on my IPAD3 at the same time? If not how do you sign out of one to sign in to another?

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.

Reminders App does not work on Yosemite with two iCloud accounts.

The Reminders App does not work on Yosemite (10.10.1) with two iCloud accounts. It seems like when there are two iCloud accounts connected in Yosemite (10.10.1) the plist file for Reminders disappears.
I have tried restarting Reminders; restarting the mac; starting the mac in recovery mode to repair the disk and disk permissions; and starting the mac in recovery mode and reinstalling OSX.

Yes sharing Reminders list works. The problem is, I have one shared iCloud account with a colleague (shared calendar, Reminders and email). It makes it easier to run our business with a single shared iCloud account...I know it's not the typical usage.

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

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.

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.

I have two iCloud accounts .mac and .me. My contacts are duplicated 2 and 3 times. I only want one account.

Somehow, I ended up with two iCloud accounts. A .mac and a .me. I only need one but can not make the .me the primeray one (it tells me that the email is already in use). Anyways, I also have my contact records duplicated 2 and 3 times. I went to the Apple store in Beijing (I'm in China now) and they did not seem to know much about iCloud. They told me that I have to erase my contacts on the iPhone and iPad and then manually erase the duplicates. Is there another way to do it? How can I set up iCloud so that I only have one account?

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.

I seem to have two icloud accounts--how can i consolidate?

I seem to have two iCloud accounts--how do I consolidate?

If your second account is actually an iCloud account with data in it, as opposed to a login for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match (which isn't actually anything to do with iCloud itself) you can sign in with it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars and its data will appear alongside the main account. (You can't use PhotoStream and a few other facilities with this secondary account, and you don't get 'push' email, only checking at intervals).
If the second ID is in fact only for iTunes just go on as you are: there is no conflict about doing this and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

How can I put two icloud accounts in the same pc?

Hallo, I have two icloud accounts, one for me and another for my wife, and I would like to put the two accounts in the same pc, because I want to share all the photos of the two accounts with the pc automatically, but I do not know how to do this. The icloud panel only let me to put one account, and if I want to put another account I have to put out before the first account.

I found some clues last week in these linkes.

Which has the contents like the below:
Example:
Assume you are running on Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Internet Explorer, have first installed version 1.4.2, then version 5.0, and you want to run 1.4.2.
Go to the j2re1.4.2\bin directory where JRE 1.4.2 was installed. On a Windows default installation, this would be here: C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin
Double-click the jpicpl32.exe file located there. It will launch the control panel for 1.4.2.
Select the Browser tab. Microsoft Internet Explorer might still appear to be set (checked). However, when 5.0 was installed, the registration of the 1.4.2 JRE with Internet Explorer was overwritten by the 5.0 JRE.
If Microsoft Internet Explorer is shown as checked, uncheck it and click Apply. You will see a confirmation dialog stating that browser settings have changed.
Check Microsoft Internet Explorer and click Apply. You should see a confirmation dialog.
Restart the browser. It should now use the 1.4.2 JRE for conventional APPLET tags.
I tried the method of change the control panel but they did not work either.
Any other helps?
Thanks in advantage.

Two icloud accounts- probs

I've got two iCloud accounts, poss even three, not done intentionally but historically through ignorance of how the whole iCloud, Apple ID, iTunes, iMessage thing works. My Mac is signed in to one account but my iPhone is signed into another. I want to just use one for obvious reasons to have common contacts on each. The thing is then when I go to sign out of one on my Mac it says that Photo Stream photos and Documents & Data stored in iCloud will be removed from this iPhone. I'm wondering what's the best thing to do??

I think you start by analyzing what you have in the cloud on each account, so you can see what is easiest to move to a different account. If you don't actually have photos or documents in he cloud on that one account, then you're just seeing some boilerplate warning that doesn't matter. You need to know one way or the other.
There is at some level a way to combine IDs; my sister had that done by someone at Apple when she had a very old iTunes ID and a newer one from her phone. However, the iTunes one wasn't really anything to do with the cloud.

HT4436 I ended up with two icloud accounts. They have different purchases. How do I combine them?

I have two iCloud accounts, Each has different purchases on them. One was before I got married the other after, with a different email account With my new last name. How can I combine these together?

Unfortunately you cannot merge two different Apple IDs and combine purchases in just one account. Apple does not let you do that. (See also: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622?viewlocale=en_US)
