Two icloud accounts, one iPhoto stream

This icloud question may have already been answered so appologies if this is a duplicate post but me & my husband both have iphones with seperate apple ID's which sync with our imac, will we be able to sync both icloud accounts to our iphoto stream or will we have log in & out with our sepereate ID's or will it be best to just use the one account for both?

Hi....
What we've done so far is to just use the one account which we set up on the iMac & just disabled the contact sharing. I was having a look on the macrumours website & news from the developers is that you can use two accounts but for some reason certain functions are disabled in the secondary account namely the iPhoto stream.

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

Two iCloud Accounts, one shared iPhoto library

I have a shared iPhoto library for two users, on an external HD. I have two iPhones, each with a separate iCloud accounts. Photos taken on each of the phones sync to the shared iPhoto library, but only the Photostream for the user who took the photo, but not the other user. I would like all photos taken on each phone to automatically sync to the other. I used to do this using the same iCloud account on each phone, but this is now not possible.
I'm using OS X Yosemite and iOS 8.1. Any ideas?

One PC, two iCloud accounts and photo stream...

I have the feeling I know what the answer is going to be to this question, but figured I'd ask just in case. So, my wife and I have an iPhone each and both need the ability to auto-upload photos from our phones to our (single) laptop without having to plug in and manually transfer them. I love the auto upload feature with iCloud, but as only one of us can be logged in to iCloud on the lap top at a time, it doesn't seem to work for us.
Is there a way to:
1. Sync photos taken by different iPhones/iCloud accounts to the same PC simultaneously?
2. Back up/auto upload photos from different iPhones automatically to our PC any other way?
Many thanks!

well, the simplest thing you can do is to go to settings - mail,contacts,calendars, click add account and then select iCoud. After you enter username and pass, you have to select that you want your calendar to be used on that adress.
EDIT: on this list, just select calendars

HT4847 I have two iCloud accounts, one with 10GB and one with 20GB...how can I merge them into the 20GB plan?

I have two iCloud plans. One with 10GB that backs up my 1Phone and iPad. I also have a 20GB plan for my iMAC and MAC BookPro. How can I merge them so that I only have one plan and one iCloud to manage? My first instinct is to delete the one on my iPhone/iPad and add the iMac plan, but I don't want to do it without an expert opinion.

No, accounts cannot be merged. Am I an expert? I only know what I've read here numerous times regarding merging of plans - the answer is always emphatically NO. Since this is a user-to-user forum (Apple doesn't participate here), you'll have to do some searching about on this topic and either accept or reject the "common" advice.

Two iCloud accounts - one calendar?

My wife and I have separate iCloud accounts and devices - iPhones an iPads. How do we set up cloud so that we have just one calendar that we can both make entries too and access on our devices?

You could simply set up calendar sharing (see also: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690). Justopen the calendar app on your iOS device, click calendars, and then the little "i" icon, here you can add other people and share your calendar.

Two iCloud accounts one with my iTunes Apple ID & other with @me account

I have a duplicate contacts in my Address Book and iCal after creating iCloud account, while searching for solutions I found that I have two accounts for iCloud in Address Book> prefrances> accounts and also in system preferences> Mail, Contacts & Calenders ...
The 1st account is for my Apple ID before I got iCloud ( [email protected] )
The 2nd account is my new iCloud email ( [email protected] )
I think that is the problem that cause the duplicate in my Address Book and in my iCal, What do you think? and How could I avoid the duplicate of my contacts?, Is there any way to merge the both accounts Apple ID and @me.com ?
Please Help
Note that: I already got two devices, my MacBook 13-inch, Late 2008 with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 and my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 and i dont have a duplicate problem on my iOS device (iPhone 4) ..

Looks like you're not getting a lot of response to this. Too bad, I wish I could help.
I too, have a new duplicate ID and now my phone uses the icloud "itunes" id to purchase apps while the rest of my family is still using the old itunes id/password.
I don't have duplicates in address or ical though. Probably because I'm still in MobileMe and use that for syncing those. I am afraid to migrate all the way to the cloud. Everything is getting much more complex instead of easier for me.
This morning my iphone said my icloud account is full and I have to buy more to back up my phone, which used to be free. What is that all about? I remember reading that I would probably not need to purchase more, at least for a while. I have done nothing but follow the instructions on various screens. 2 weeks and I'm out of space.
For me, the icloud has done the opposite of what was promised. Complexity and expense. I'm very dissapointed and confused.

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 in mail

When I open mail in my ipad2 I have two icloud accounts, one with the old blue icon and one witht the new slver icon. I want to delete theold account especially ince it isn't working at all. When I look at icloud in settings, I only see one . The same when I look at mail in settings.
So, how do I get rid of the unwanted icloud?
McOrd

Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then go back and check Mail again. See if that doesn't eliminate one of them.

What can you do about having two iCloud accounts?

Anybody else have what look like two iCloud accounts one for apple id and the other for migrated @me?
And the apple id needs a new @me account to work with mail.
I think I don't need any iCloud with my apple id but just leave me with the migrated @me account.

How do we sync contacts and calendars (ONLY) between two iCloud accounts, two iPhones and one iMac with two user accounts?

This is complex. Until today we had one iMac with two user accounts - one for me and the other for my wife. We sync'd our calendars and contacts between our two user accounts using my iCloud account, thereby keeping our schedules coordinated and our contacts information always the same between us. Also, as I had an iPhone, I sync'd my phone with my iCloud account, thereby keeping the contacts and calendars in the two user accounts on the iMac AND my iPhone sync'd. (I also sync'd other things, like Notes and Mail and Safari settings, between my iPhone and my user account on the iMac, but my wife did not want to be burdened with all my emails showing up in her email account and I wasn't interested in hers, etc., so we didn't sync anything between us other than calendars and contacts.)
We've finally bought my wife an iPhone and set up an iCloud account for her. And of course she now wants to sync several items from HER account on our iMac to HER iPhone, but I don't want them, just as she doesn't want all of my other stuff. But we still want our mutual calendars and contacts to sync to HER new iPhone, just like they already do to mine. But I can't figure out how to CHANGE her iMac user account from using MY iCloud account on the iMac to using HER new iCloud account, and then having HER iCloud account speak to MY iCloud account but share JUST our calendars and contacts.
Originally I tried a workaround by simply having her iPhone log into my iCloud account. That works great for the calendars and the contacts. But...she can't sync anything else from her iMac account to her new iPhone because she's presently "forced" to use my iCloud account. And neither of us want to sync our other things to each other's iMac accounts or iPhones. Also as we're both using my iCloud account, in things like the Find My iPhone app, the Cloud is seeking two phones labeled with my name and none with her's. So we definitely don't want this as the set-up and communications network between our devices.
We want to set up our users on the iMac to sync to our SEPARATE AND DIFFERENT iCloud accounts and then have those iCloud accounts sync calendars and contacts (ONLY) between themselves, and then push that data to our separate iPhones (or the other way, from either of our iPhones to the individual accounts on our iMac and the other person's iPhone). Does this description make sense to you? I've diagramed it nicely using Keynote, but even thiough I can draw it, I can't figure out how to set up and configure all the devices to make it work. If you would like me to send the Keynote slides (just two of them - the current and desired configurations - please send your email address to me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to forward it to you.
If anyone can help me set this up I'd be most appreciative! Thanks so much. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all readers in this community!

I had the same problem, and decided to look into it last night.
First of all, the solution I would like to have is for Apple to allow for selection of iCloud accounts per application, i.e. Contacts to one, Photo Stream to another. I believe this would be the most straight forward solution for the problem we are facing.
Since this is not an option I came up with a workaround. I was most interested in solving this for Contacts, so this is what I tested for. Now I have all 3 devices with the same contacts.
1) Turn off iCloud for Contacts on all devices. On the device that has the Contacts list that you would like to propagate to all others select to keep the contacts, and on the others select not to keep them.
Note that the current backups still exist on iCloud, so in case something goes wrong you can still turn the iCloud for Contacts back on to get your current Contacts back.
2) In iTunes, sync All Contacts with the phones, starting with the one with the Contacts content you chose to keep.
From this point on, the 3 devices should sync contacts with each other.
This, of course, will stop your iCloud backups of Contacts, but I don't think this is really needed. You are already storing copies of your Conacts on 3 devices, which for good parts of the day are likely not all co-located. You also potentially have Time Machine backups turned on, which would mean there is a 4th copy there as well. For the case of Contacts iCloud only complicates matter ... that is until Apple implements the solution I first wrote about.

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.

TS3988 Can I have two iCloud accounts on one device? / Paul

Can I have two iCloud accounts on one IPad?

Yes, you can add a second ("secondary") iCloud to a device as mendi1 stated. There are some limitations with secondary iCloud accounts. Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, syncing Bookmarks and Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My iDevice. Also push email only works in the primary account; only fetch mail is supported in a secondary account. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020.

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.
NIK

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.

Can u have two icloud accounts attached to one itunes account

i would like to have my daughter ipod touch on a different account so that i dont recieve her texts on my phone. can i have two icloud accounts to one itunes account so that i dont have to open another itunes account and repurchase all her apps and music

No really. See:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
You can resolve the Messages and similar FaceTime problem by first setting them up using the Apple /iTunes ID email address and then adding another email messaging/calling email address and then deleting the Apple/iTunes ID email address.
