Hi all: So someone suggested signing in to messages first then Facetime after waiting a while after signing out. I just tried it. And there is a method to the madness. I’m now signed in to all services with both ID’s.
Now just wish dropbox would hurry up and finish sinking. LOL.

Then go through the checkboxes for the iCloud services you want on each account. Also, there is a newer feature to be able to transfer purchases from one iCloud account to another one if that helps.

Unfortunately when I go to sign back in to both apps, I cannot type in the email address field. It’s not letting me, not even with voiceover off.
