Can I have one cloud for my family with multiple devices and apple ids?

I need to know the best way to link multiple devices with different apple ids to the same iCloud to share iTunes and content.

My iphone 5s = apple id 1
Husband iphone 4s = apple id 2
My ipad = apple id 3
Son #1 ipad mini = apple id 4
Son #2 ipad mini = apple id 5
For iCloud.. Not quite, you want the same ID for iCloud on your phone and iPad so you have the same info on each. (so perhaps ID 1 on both.
But if you want to share your music (assuming lets say its your ID 1 that has the iTunes account), you should all use ID 1 for iTunes.

  • I have a family with multiple device (9) can I use same account to sync them without sharing contacts I dont want children to have?

    I have a family with 9 devices (4 iPhones, 2 iPads, and 3 iPods) can I put these on one account, so I can easily manage their devices.  But I do not want to share all information, such as contacts with children or calendars.  Is this possible??? 

    Yes.
    They all need an ID of their own to log into settings > iCloud but they can use the same ID to log into settings > iTunes & App Stores.

  • HT204053 I only have one e-mail, how do I set up separate apple IDs for three family members ?

    How do I create apple IdS for three family members with the same e-mail? They are kids and have no e-mail.

    You can configure a new email address for them using the @cloud.com server suffix. Do that when you open an iCloud account for each and set up the separate Apple IDs that will each be tied to a different email address.

    I have 3 objcts that one of them is ID and second one is internal code and the third one is quantity.There is more than one value for each ID (becouse of internal code).I want to create a report based on ID and quantity (not based on internal code).I make a break on ID but the result shows me more than one row for each ID.so how can i have just one row for each ID?

    Have you tried to omit "internal code" from your grid?  In normal circumstances, if you have "ID" and "Quantity" on the grid, then WebI will on its own summarize Quantity based on ID, however, this is provided that Quantity has been set up as a measure (or metric).  The quickest way to tell if Quantity is a metric or not is to observe the color of its icon when you look at it in the data panel.  If it is a purple (or sometimes appears as pink or fuscia) dot, then it's a measure, but if it is a blue box then it is a dimension.  If you need Quantity as a measure then this will have to be modified at the universe (make it look like "sum(Quantity)" in the select phase of the object, and insure the object is defined as a number....

  • Can I have a ringtone for people on my contact list and a different tone for unknown people?

    I want to have a ringtone for people one my contact list and a different tone for people not on my contact list, which for me is always commercial that I do not even want to pick up.

    To do this, you would have to assign the ringtone to each contact individually, and then set the default tone to something different under the Sounds menu in Settings.

  • Family with multiple iPods and multiple iTunes - can we share songs?

    I am sure I am not the only one in this situation. There are 4 computers in our house, and 3 individuals with there own iPods. Can one iPod owner who has her own library on her PC go to my son's PC and connect to his iTunes Library to get just one song that he purchased? She tried to "drag" a song from his library onto her iPod, but it wouldn't allow her to. She got some message saying her iPod already has it's own library. Are you saying she can't get one song that I paid for? How are we able to share songs on multiple PCs?

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:.

    Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Syncing Music to iPod
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Help with multiple devices and one ID

    I am sure this has been asked before but i apologize as I am new at all this.
    This is my issue...
    In April I bought my wife and iPad 2 signed up for an ID and started downloading apps..no problems at all so far.
    Within a month we had downloaded a bunch of apps for my 4 yr old.
    I bought another iPad 2 for my 4 yr old so he can use on his own. This is the issue, in my wives iPad we downloaded some paid apps and some free ones, some of them are games that have been advancing as he is playing them...my wife has also downloaded some paid games that she has been playing.
    So here is my dilema, can I sync my wifes iPad with iTunes and then move the apps that I want to my sons iPad?
    Also, will the move also include where he left off in the app...for example if this is like a building a zoo type of game and he has half of it built...will the move include his progress or will it make him start from the begining of the game?
    i dont want to use the same apps in two different iPads, i just want to transfer his to a new one and leave my wifes in her ipad.
    Please let me know if you need more information in order to help me.
    Thanks Again

    Have your wife transfer all purchases from the iPad into iTunes, backup her iPad and then sync with iTunes. Everything ... All media and other content will be available in that iTunes library and she will have a current backup.
    Assuming that your son will still be sharing your wife's Apple ID (he is too young to have one of his own) .... When you set up his iPad, restore the iPad from your wife's backup and then select only the content that you want your son to have on his iPad in the iTunes library and then sync that iPad with iTunes.
    The game progress is stored in the backup and should transfer onto his device when you restore from your wife's backup. You can always delete any content (apps, movies, music) that you don't want your son to have on the iPad, if you missed it when you synced with iTunes after setting the device up for him.
    You can set your sync preferences - any way that you want to - for both devices and still use the same iTunes library for both iPads. So ... Yes you can sync any apps that you want to his iPad and any apps that your wife wants to her iPad. You just need to restore your son's iPad from your wife's backup in order to get his game progress onto his iPad.
    In case you need these....
    Transfer purchases.

    Remember to have your wife backup her iPad just before you restore his iPad from the backup so that his most recent progress will be available in the backup.

  • How to share one iTunes library with multiple computers AND Apple TV? Help?

    It seems like my dilemma may not be easily solved. Hopefully it isn't as complicated as I think it will be. Here's the situation:
    My wife hates that, in order to see or do anything with the images she takes, I need to have iPhoto open on my computer (Mac Pro), and she then has to connect to it over sharing.
    By the same token, I don't like that she buys iTunes content on her MacBook, which is sometimes a duplicate of content I already have. Now that the App Store is out, that is going to start getting really expensive.
    So instead, I want us to be able to:
    1) Have ONE iTunes library on the network, and ONE iPhoto library. Both of these would be accessible to any computer on the network. When you launch iTunes, you would get all the media that is in that library.
    2) Both be able to access iTunes at the same time to listen to / watch content.
    3) Both be able to purchase iTunes content, and when it it purchased, it updates that single library. If I buy a song, the next time my wife fires up iTunes, that song is there for her to listen to.
    4) Have our two Apple TV units be able to play content from this library.
    So, I know that we need something on the network. I have a Drobo with DroboShare, so that is one option. I also have a spare Mac Pro laying around, along with a copy of OS X Leopard Server.
    I just don't know what route we should take with this. All I want is for us to share a library, to be able to both use that library, for us to be able to sync content from that library to our portable devices, and for our Apple TVs to also see that library.
    Possible?!

    I'm sort of in the same boat. We've got an iMac with separate User Accounts set up and are currently sharing the same iTunes and iPhoto libraries along with streaming them to our Apple TV.
    Right now I'm the only one with an iPod, however she'll be getting one in a couple of weeks.
    We also just picked up a MacBook yesterday and I'd like to be able to sync certain libraries like iTunes and iPhoto so that no content gets duplicated on either the iMac or MacBook and so that we both have access to the current libraries for each program on our iPods and AppleTV.
    I have an external hard drive that I back up the iMac on and I assume I could manually keep things current with that but there's got to be an easier way...that's why these are Macs right?

  • FaceTime with Multiple Devices and one Apple ID

    What happens with FaceTime when I use the same Apple ID for my IPad and my IPhone 5?  What do I need to do to manage which device receives FaceTime messages?

    Create Apple IDs for everyone individually and use that in Settings > Facetime, Settings > Messages, Settings > Game Center but keep the Apple ID used for app and content purchases in Settings > iTunes and App Stores

  • Can i use one icloud for back up of several devices?

    between 4 kids, wife and me, we got three ipads, 4 iphones for now and an iMac.
    previously, we used one icloud backup for my and wife's iphone.
    with family sharing, i cant find the way to have all devices seen in find my iphone AND back up to one icloud drive?
    am i missing something? Is it possible?
    if not, why the **** did apple do something as stupid as that? If I rent space, i have the right to use it as I iwish, dont I?

    No
    They all use different iCloud accounts and they will backup to their own iCloud accounts

  • Best iTunes strategy for a family with multiple Windows accounts

    On our previous Windows 7 PC, I set up separate Windows accounts for each of our family members. Since iTunes can't be run concurrently on more than one Windows account, I also set up another Windows account named "iTunes," the sole purpose of which is to have iTunes running in a way that everyone can access it without having to log into each others' accounts. When you want to use iTunes, you log into the "iTunes" Windows account; when you want to do something else on the computer, you log into your personal Windows account.
    Two questions: (1) Is there a better way to do this? and (2) Am I right that iTunes still can't be run concurrently on more than one Windows account?
    Thanks.

    This is a user to user support forum. Your fellow users can offer solutions or workarounds based on their experience with the application. If you think it should work differently drop a line to iTunes Feedback.
    For reasons unknown Apple haven't chosen to allow iTunes to be suspended in one profile and active in another. My recollection is that this applies even if each profile has a different library, although it is some time since I've committed a personal test.
    I'm not sure why my suggestion make less sense that your current approach?. As I understand it currently everybody is either signed into their own account when they can do something other than work with iTunes, or they sign into the special iTunes account where they can't access any of their other stuff. You don't have to disable fast user switching. Follow exactly the same steps, but make sure everyone closes iTunes before turning the computer over to another user. Disabling fast user switching helps to enforce that action.

  • Can I edit one project on two computers with external drive and two copies of software?

    I have two copies of premiere elements. One on IMac and one on Macbook. Video files on external drive. I want to be able to edit same project on both. I originally started the project on macbook but IMac doesn't see the exsisting project.  Can I do this? thanks for the help

    jazziegirl
    Thanks for the follow up.
    The matter of the sign in/trial version has happened to me from time to time with Premiere Elements (I worked with Windows). I supply
    the requested information and that usually takes care of that message for a long while.
    What is the status of the issue now with the MacBook Pro to iMac projects? Is that matter restricted to just one project from MacBook Pro to iMac?
    If so, on this particular one, did you try the Project Archiver/Copy Project workflow in MacBook Pro?
    As for the error message...I am not a Mac user, and consequently I am not sure I am interpreting the following correctly. But take a look to see if any of it applies

  • Can a Servlet be used for Storing Objects with both JSP and JSF used on it?

    Hi,
    Pages I have:
    SearchEmployee.jsp
    This page has a search engine that search out the Employee. This Employee Object will be stored inside a Servlet(controller) for future references by other pages. I used JSP, html tags for forms, and request.getParameter() to built this search engine.
    Problem:
    I have a JSF Form that wants to DISPLAY the employee which I have found in my Search Engine. How can I get the JSF's value="#{Controller.employeeObj.name}" to get the value from the object?
    This seems logical as my JSF form is just retrieving the stored object in the Controller. I currently cant seem to output it

    The servlet shouldn't be used to store ANY data, let alone data to be accessed by other sevlets. Put the object into the Session object.

  • HT204074 the 90 day rule is ridiculous.  This should be seriously reconsidered for paid customers with several devices and one account.

    The 90 day rule is ridiculous.  It should be seriously reconsidered for paying apple customers with one account but several devices.

    If you have only one account, then the 90 day rule should be of no consequence for you.

  • I have Windows 7 main library, iMac with additional library and Apple TV that I want to use home sharing, but windows library doesn't show as a computer on Apple TV.

    I have music and movie library on an external drive connected to a Windows 7 machine. I also have home movies and other content on an iMac that I use.  I want to turn on home sharing for both and connect them to Apple TV for display, music and podcast.  They are all on the same wifi home network, but the Windows library doesn't show up on the ATV device.
    I turned off all Windows firewall and I tried to configure port forwarding, but that didn't help.
    I will say that this did work at some point, so a patch or an update, or some configuration change has caused it to stop workin at some point in the past six months to a year.
