Using 2 different icloud accounts, but share match and photos from one account

My wife and I have an our own Macs and iPhones. I would like to have the photo stream and match from one account shared on both but use backup, contacts, calendar, ect. seperately
The way I currently have it setup it somewhat works except we both backup to the same account and the Maps program uses my account (which is where the backup and photo stream comes from)
Does anyone have a suggestion?

You can create a shared primary account and each add individual secondary iCloud accounts to your devices to sync mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.  However, only the primary account can be used for iCloud Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents and Data, iCloud Backup and Find My iDevice.  Also, mail in the secondary account is fetch rather than push.  Perhaps that's your current setup.  If you want to share the same photo stream, that's how you'll have to set things up.
An alternative of course would be to maintain separate iCloud accounts and manually add photos to a shared stream on your devices and invite each other as subscribers.

  • Multiple email accounts but they are all sending from same account.

    Set up with multiple email accounts but they are all sending from same account. I have checked account preferences and under composing they are to come from account of selected mailbox but this is not happening! Suggestions?

    They are all in the same folder and it says all images are there, but it is only showing 1 card's images at a time. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    This is kind of confusing, on the one hand you say "it says all images are there" and then you directly contradict this by saying "it is only showing 1 card's images at a time".
    Could you explain in a lot more detail what you see (and don't say "it", say exactly what part of Lightroom or what part of your operating system you are looking at), or show us a screen capture?

  • Can I use an iCloud email address that's been deleted from another account?

    There was one house account, mine, which is an old @mac.com address from way back in the iTools days.
    I made a couple email aliases for my daughter when she was younger to use for school.
    Now, she has her own iPhone.  I gave her another email address (hername @ att . net) so we could register her own Apple ID, and get the confirmation/activation email.
    With me so far?
    So now, in order to use the Apple bells & whistles, you need an iCloud email.  When I try to create one, it says that both the @icloud.com addresses I tried are already in use.  (Trust me, they're unique to us.)
    I made sure to delete the aliases from my main account, but I still can't use them.
    My question is:  How long will it take to release those deleted aliases for use again?  If at all.
    Off topic:  What happened to our old Support Communities login ID?  I had to use my Apple ID and now I look like a first-timer.  Is there a way to merge the old account into this one?

    I don't think that's possible.  As mentioned here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a, "Aliases are not transferable. Only the iCloud account that created the alias can use it.  Once you create an alias it cannot be made into its own account."
    Not sure about your second question.  You might want to post it over in the Using Apple Support Communities forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/using_apple_support_communities?view=dis cussions.

  • My wife and I have seperate itune accounts, but want to merge them into one account or at least merge our seperate purchases into one library.  Is this possible?

    Basic problem...my wife has her own iTunes account which she purchases music with, I have my own that i have been purchasing music with...however, married now as we have similar tastes in music and dont want to be duplicating albums etc.
    Was wondering is it possible to merge the two accounts into one account?  Or if not, that we carry on purchasing music but have one shared library.  Is this possible, any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    "Was wondering is it possible to merge the two accounts into one account? "
    No.
    Just put all of your music/apps/etc on one computer/library.  Authorize the computer for both ids. 

  • How to use different parameters for two tables(chart and Table) in one report in SSRS?

    Hi,
    Here is my requirement, i have 7 parameters in my report(Site,Account,LOB,year,Month,WeekDay and Date_Filter),
    and in my report i have one table and one Chart,
    my requirement is the table in the report has to show the data for 6 parameters only i.e(Site,Account,LOB,year,Month and WeekDay).so the table has to consider only 6 parameters, and it has ignore the 7th parameter, table should not consider Date_Filter parameter.
    And Chart has to consider all 7 parameters.
    so, when we preview the report table has to show the data for only 6 parameters and chart has to show the data for all 7 parameters.
    if there is a way to get this Please reply me ASAP, it is an urgent requirement.
    Thanks in Advance,

  • VI runs from one account but gives an error 37 from another account

    I'm still running LabView 5.0 on a Solaris Server, 2.8.  This is really weird.  I have
    a VI that will run just fine under my account, but another user tries to run the same
    VI and gets an error 37, device not found.  We are using NI Serial Port Init.vi and when
    I run it from my account which is unprivilege without using sudo, no errors, but when
    this user runs its, error 37 occurs.  Any reason why this happens?  It sounds like a
    permission problem, but I do not know where to look.  Suggestions welcomed.
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Hey guys, I found the answer in this post.  I guess I did not look hard enough before I posted.  Sorry.
    In the .labviewrc file make sure this line is included.
    labview.serialDevices:/dev/ttya:/dev/ttyb: . . . .
    This sets ttya as port 0 , ttyb as port 1 etc etc.
    You may have them set as root but not as a regular user.
    Also for Solaris 2 , Labview expects the ports to be /dev/cua/a , /dev/cua/b ,
    etc etc.
    You may need to change / add those links. ( I am a labview programmer not a
    Sys Admin !!)
    Make sure that the line in the .labviewrc matches what ever these are set to.
    Note that the first dev listed will be port 0, the next port 1 etc. so you can
    set them in any
    order that you wish.
    Hope this helps,

  • Moving photos from one account to another

    Hello.
    I have just set up a separate user account for my little girl. Is is possible to transfer photos from my photo library in iPhoto into hers? I've tried copying some pictures to my shared file but when I tried to import them into her iPhoto it said the files weren't recognised.
    Will I have to put them on a CD instead?
    Thank you for any advice.
    Rachel

    Locate the photo library in the Finder, and then open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder. Enter the following:
    chmod -R 777
    followed by a space. Drag the folder into the Terminal window, press Enter, and then quit the Terminal. Next, use the insructions in this article to move the entire iPhoto library to the /Users/Shared/ folder, followed by doing the same thing from her account.
    Alternatively, try these instructions if you haven't already to export the photos to the /Users/Shared/ folder, and then reimport them on her account.
    A third option is to use this application to create a second library with only the photos you want her to have, and then transfer it to her account using the instructions posted above.

  • I have mistakenly opened up a new iTunes account. Can I transfer purchases from one account to the other?

    I have recently bought a new iPad mini and tried to set it up and share with my old iTunes account.
    I thought I was changing email addresses for contact info, but was actually setting up a new iTunes account and paid for the £21 a year sharing service.
    I have a few (not many) tunes purchased on my old iTunes account.
    Is there a way of merging/closing my old account and transferring purchases across to the new iTunes account?
    I could swap between the two, but doing that on the phone/ipad will mean I cannot swap back for 90 days!!!!!
    Thanks

    Did you ever get around to transfer purchases from your old iPhone to iTunes in your computer.  If you did, your ringtone will be there and all you need to do is sync it back to your new iPhone.
    Ringtones can only be downloaded once from the iTunes Store that is why the user guides recommend that you transfer purchases from the iPhone to the computer.
    If you never synced your old iPhone to iTunes, then you need to do that now so that you can get your ringtone on your new iPhone.

  • I used the migrator utility to transfer music and picture from my old PC and now I have 2 accounts on my new Mac, how can I get back to one account and still have the music and photos transfered ?

    I used the migrator utility to transfer itunes and photos from my old PC to my new Mac and ended up with 2 accounts on my new computer. How do I transfer the music and photos and only have the 1 account on the new Mac ?

    That's not easy.  The Windows migration tool makes a new user account, and you can't prevent it.
    You may be able to transfer what you want manually, but it's not quick or easy.  See Transferring files from one User Account to another.

  • I am sending an email from one account on iphone 4s but the replies are coming into another account on my phone

    I have had an iphone 4s for about a year and have 4 email accounts that come in on it: verizon, gmail, my work, and icloud.  Periodically, I send an email from one account, it shows the message as sent from that account in my sent mail, but the recipient receives it from the gmail account and therefore replies to the gmail.  Has anyone had this happen?  It is almost as if my messages are bouncing into gmail when I send them, although on my phone it shows as having been sent from another account.  I have not had this happen on my computer where I have all of these emails coming in as well.  I thought perhaps it was me not being careful about which account I was sending from when using my phone, but the mail I sent this morning I was very careful to make sure was from verizon, the sent mail on my phone shows it was sent from verizon, and the reply came in on gmail.  Gmail isn't even the default email address- verizon is! My iphone is using version 6.1.3. Does anyone have any ideas? This is a major problem for me so I appreciate any ideas!  Thank you!!!

    I am not sure whether this is related, but I had a problem with Gmail where each time I sent and email via my iPhone it would bounce back in my Gmail account as unread. You migh want to check this Google article explaining why this happens and how to avoid it:

  • I have a new iMac - how do file share my music and photos from my old mac to my new mac?

    I want to transfer my music and photos from one Mac to another - but I don't want to transfer anything else - what is the best way to do this?
    Thanks

    the simplest way would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from /users//music on the source to /users//music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    do the same with your iPhoto library. see this support article for more information (except, you won't have to option-launch iPhoto)
