Is it possible to log in mac with a different apple id?

[olivermac]

hi:
I have 2 apple id but one mac.
Is it possible to log in one mac with a second apple id?
for example
I would like to create another user account base on another apple id.
Then I can choose different apple id by logging in different user account.

Or is there any other way to log in one mac with a different apple id?
Thanks

Are you talking about iTunes accounts?

If so, what about iTunes > Menu Bar >> Store >>> Sign In ... / Sign Out ... ?

Can you please be more specific about what you mean with "Apple ID"? Is it not for iTunes?

Actually,it is not for itunes. it is the apple id that I was asked to input at the first time I ran my mac. I think my mac is somehow binded with that id. now I would like to switch or change, so I can log in mac that has nothing to do with the old apple id.
so,is it possible to do without reinstalling my mac?
thanks.

Do you mean the one you set up during Setup Assistant (1)?

Or the one you set up during Setup and Registering Information (2)?

Or the one you set up during setup and Creating an Account (3)?

If 1

How to change apple id registered on mac
via "mac os x change apple ID"​

If 2

How to change 'registration' details?
via "mac os x change registration"​

If 3

HOW DO I CHANGE THE OWNER'S NAME ON MY MAC?
In Mac OS X, how do I rename my OS X account?
via "mac os x change user account name"​

Anyway, it seems you can merger multiple "Apple IDs" via contacting Apple, but why would you want to use two "Apple IDs" for one Mac,
if the "Apple ID" is what is described under 1?

Or is it something completely different?

It's the case 1.
Problem solved.
Thanks for being so patient.
