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?

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 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?

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.

Sharing iPhoto Library between Two User Accounts

Is there any way to fully share a single iPhoto library between two user accounts on one machine (iMac 2.0GHz dual core Intel, 10.5.1, iPhoto '08), without using an external drive (because I don't have one)? By share, I mean each user has full rights and priveledges to the entire library, regardless of who uploaded the pics. Holding down the option key on iPhoto startup does not work because my wife can't access the pics I loaded even though she's pointing to the shared library in a shared folder.

If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. then:
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. *You could also use a dmg*.
(Some people have had success putting the library in the Users/ Shared folder. If you do this make sure the file permissions are set to allow read/write access to everyone. But that's unlikely to work on 10.5 because of the way that the permissions have changed with the new OS.)
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

How to split one shared iTunes library associated with two iTunes accounts?

My boyfriend and I share one computer and have one shared iTunes library on that computer. We both maintain our own separate iTunes accounts. We have very different tastes in music, literature, film, etc. the library has become quite large and my boyfriend is frustrated by the complexity of synching his devices to just his selections and would like to separate our purchases into two separate libraries based on our iTunes account purchases. What is the easiest way to split into two different libraries?

To my knowledge, there's no quick way.

Sharing iphoto library on two macs?

Hi Folks,
I have two macs in the house. One a mini linked to a tv and an iMac. The iMac holds my primary iPhoto Library. What I would like to do is share the same library with the mini mac, without having to use the sharing option. Can I place it on an external drive and link both macs to that library? I am running 10.5 if that makes any difference. Thanks, Andrew.

IPhoto, two users, two iCloud accounts

I am trying to come up with the best solution to a problem and I am a bit stumped. Hope somone here can help me. Bought a MacBook a few months ago and love it. I like iPhoto as well. My wife and I both have a user account on the computer and in each account, there is an iPhoto library configured with our respective iCloud accounts to pull our photos from our iPhones. So far so good.
When we import photos from our regular camera, I use Image Capture to import them to a central spot on the SSD. I then open iPhoto and import those pictures. Then I have to switch user accounts and do the same import in my wife's iPhoto library, since she wants the photos as well. This is a bit cumbersome. I could share an iPhoto library between us in the Shared folder, but then we can only have one iCloud account synced with iPhoto. We each need our own iCloud account configured so that we can pull our pictures from our iPhones with ease. Does anyone have a suggestion for streamlining the import process from our regular camera?
Thanks!

Go to iPhoto Preferences and turn on Sharing.
Go to the Pictures folder of each user account, select the iPhoto Library and on the keyboard hit "command" + "i".
In the iPhoto Library Info window that appears, under the "Sharing & Permissions:" pane, add each other with the "+" and give each othe "Read & Write" priveleges.
Now you should be able to see and grab the photos you desire from the other user's library while you are in your iPhoto application.
I think.

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.

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.
