Using iCloud on multiple devices?

We have an iPhone 4S and 2 iPod touches that all share the same Apple ID (I am attempting to monitor/control my daughter's apps/content). I want to take advantage of using iCloud to share my photos/contacts/calendar, etc.. with our MacBook Pro, but I don't want everything to go on my daughter's iTouches that are also linked to iCloud.  Is that possible?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your daughter is using the same iCloud account as you, she can enable calendar, mail and contact syncing at anytime and not only see your data, but delete it or modify it too.
iTunes and iCloud are different accounts, you could have separate iCloud accounts but share a iTunes account, which is the account used for apps, music and other purchases.

  • Using icloud mail - multiple devices

    Hi there.
    I'm using an iPad, Macbook Air and iPhone, all linked to the same icloud account.
    All works perfectly except for one thing, when I delete mail on either the iPad/iPhone, they aren't deleted from the Mail program on the Macbook but are deleted on the other device. When a message is deleted from the Macbook, it is deleted from both iPad/iPhone.
    A little niggle yes, but an annoying one!
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Using iOS5 on multiple devices

    hi Forum
    Is there a view on how to use iOS5 on multiple devices when multiple devices are owned by differing family members? i have an iPhone, my partner has an iPhone, and together we have an iPad. [i have a MBP as well but havent updated to Lion yet, dont knwo if this is part of this question]. iOS5 can sync to multiple devices so can we sync all apps and musc between the mobile devices? do they have to be on the same apple user ID? of have i got that wrong?
    also contacts and photos wise, we both have our own photos, contacts, calendar and mail. can any/all of these be syncd between us all? i guess the one that would be syncd would be photos as youd want to see that on the ipad.
    Andi

    The iTunes account and iCloud accounts are not linked on your devices.
    So you can each have an iCloud account that works on your iDevices nd all be logged into the same iTunes account in the iTunes Store, App Store, IBooks, etc.
    You do really need your iMac to be on 10.7.2 as it was a requirement before you moved to iCloud, did you lie when asked the question "are all your devices ready for iCloud".

  • Numbers vs. iCloud across multiple devices?

    I'm confused.  I am a long time mobile me user and I consider my self a mac poweruser.  I just made the switch to iCloud and my main purpose was to use Numbers across multiple devices.  I have a MacPro, iPhone 4 and iPad 2, all running the lastest versions of iOS, Lion, and Numbers.  I understand that the Mac version can't sync seamlessly like iCal or Contacts.  I have to upload and download files with changes to work on them on the Mac.  However, I can't see any of the files on my iOS devices or in my iWork page on my iCloud.  If I make a file or make a change to a file in Numbers on an iOS device, shouldn't it upload that file to the cloud automatically?  Shouldn't the iOS devices "see" the newly uploaded changes from my Mac?  I got it to work once as a test right before Thanksgiving, but since then, nothing.  I've made sure all the correct settings are turned on, however, still no communication to the iCloud.
    Am I expecting too much?  I'd really like to buy a MacBook Air to use Numbers at work, however, I can't justify the cost if none of these devices will talk to each other.  What I really need is for my iPhone or iPad to have up to the minute versions of my Numbers files which will be mainly edited on a laptop or desktop.  Any suggestions.  Thanks.

    Your understanding of how iWork document syncing works is correct.
    Have you enabled document syncing on each of your iOS devices. (settings > iCloud, and setting > pages > iCloud etc etc)
    If you still can't get it all syncing try turning off syncing on all your devices and then turning it on all of them again. (you might ant to save any documents already on your iOS devices to iTunes for safety before turning syncing off)

  • "you can't use Icloud when multiple versions of outlook is installed. As far as i know I only have 1 version installed. Any ideas

    I have recently loaded Icloud and received the following message
    "You can't use ICloud when multiple versions of Outlook are installed. To use ICloud with outlook uninstall one version" As far as I am aware I only have one version. Is there anyone who had a similar issue and if you did what is the solution?

    You're probably on OS X Lion?
    I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

  • Using iCloud across two devices

    We have 2 Apple devices - a Macbook pro and an iPad mini. My wife has made the macbook hers using her own apple id. The mini is mine and I used my apple id, different from hers. How can we use iCloud across both devices with different ids?

    Hello lincolnbooth
    You would not be able to sync across two different iCloud accounts. Buy you can use her iCloud account to do everything iCloud data syncing and then use your Apple ID for purchases. Check out the article below for more information on what you can do for syncing purchases.

  • HT1349 How do I find where my multiple copies of Outlook are? (It said  Multiple Outlook versions installed. You can't use iCloud when multiple versions of Outlook are installed.  To use iCloud with outlook, uninstall one version.")

    I have just started with iCloud, and run into a problem from my PC.
    It says: "
    Multiple Outlook versions installed.
    You can't use iCloud when multiple versions of Outlook are
    installed.  To use iCloud with outlook, uninstall one version.
    I have searched and found two versions of Outlook 2013 and 2015  (one of which was inactive, but I have removed it), and one of outlook.pst, which I have removed.
    Where do I go from here?

    That's a Windows/Office problem. You should ask in the Microsoft support forums.

    Buy a retail Snow Leopard DVD. After installing that, you can upgrade to Lion if you wish.

    you can't.

    a single iTunes can be authorized for up to five iTunes store accounts (Apple IDs). a library thusly set up will sync content purchased with any of the five Apple IDs to any device.

  • Best practice for setting up iCloud with multiple devices using a single AppleID

    Hi there
    Me and my wife have an iPhone each, and are looking at getting both of us using iCloud. The problem is that we only use one Apple ID for our music library.
    Is getting a separate Apple ID necessary for each device on iCloud, or can multiple devices have seperate settings/photos/music, etc.?

    Using different Apple ID for iCloud is not necessary, but in most cases it is recommended.
    You can however choose to use separate Apple IDs for iCloud and continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes, thereby being able to share all your purchases of music, apps and books.

  • ICloud Sync - Multiple devices and one AppleID

    So your contacts and calendar will sync automatically between your Mac, iPhone, iPad.  And you can backup your stuff.  And it does this based on your AppleID.
    I, like I suspect many others, have an iPhone and iPad for me and my significant other.  And we have two Macs.  We both used the same AppleID.  We clearly would not want to "merge" our contacts and calendars, or any backups.
    Why do we share an AppleID?  So we only have to purchase music, iOS apps, Mac apps, once for the family.  Multiple AppleIDs is not an option as that negates a primary benefit of the Apple ecosystem.  Apple has been pretty family friendly up to this point.  You can share an AppleID with 5 devices today (if you have that many Macs or PCs), in my case we are talking 2.  And they did still say you can buy Lion in the app store and use it on all your AppleID authorized machines.
    I suppose you could maybe just turn all that stuff off and forget the iCloud part of Lion and iOS5.  But I have to believe that is going to cut out a significant segment of the population from using iCloud services.
    Anyone know how Apple is going to handle that situation?

    OK, here is how do make this work.  All the details I can think of to give . ..
    On any IOS device there is an entry for the Apple ID to be used for store purchases.  You will find this in Settings > Store.
    On any IOS device there are several Apple ID entries for using iCloud services.  You will find these in Settings > iCloud and Settings > Messages.
    Then there are also Apple ID entries in some apps, like Facetime, Find my Friends, . . .
    Set them as you wish.  If you have a shared family Apple ID for purchases then put that one in Store.  And give each family member their own Apple ID for iCloud.
    This is also true on your Mac.  For the iCloud settings you can use one Apple ID, and a different one for the iTunes store.
    Cannot get any easier than that.
    In my case I am using one Apple ID for the Store, and separate iCloud Apple IDs for each family member.  That way someone does not use the wrong ID and trash the person who would be using the Store Apple ID.  There is no personal data on the Store Apple ID.  Seems much safer and logical that way (to me).  However, there is no reason why you could not have the Store Apple ID also be used by one person for iCloud.
    Not sure what else can be said here.  Apple provided a good solution for those of us who have been sharing an Apple ID in the family.  Thanks Apple!

  • Totally confused with iCloud and multiple devices

    Ok, So we have two each of the iPods, iPads and now iPhones.  Do we all share the same iCloud? Can we share apps through the cloud? How do I switch my iPad to the new one I got to give this one to my son. I am so new to all this apple stuff. Only been a few months and I'm still really confused.  What all goes to the iCloud? How do we see what's in the iCloud?  I really the the idiots instructions I think to figure this all out?  Can anyone help me?  How can I print from the iPad?  Everything I see says iOS 10 something?  I believe I only have 6 something? 

    Do we all share the same iCloud?
    icloud is designed so that only one user uses it to keep his/her devices in sync.  When multiple users use the same icloud account, they will then be sharing the same email address, contacts, calendars, notes, etc.  Usually that is not what two people want to do.
    Can we share apps through the cloud?
    You buy apps from the itunes store, that's different than icloud, and multiple users can use the same itunes account so that they can share apps, music, etc.  For a family, everyone usually uses the same Apple ID for an itunes account and individual Apple IDs for their icloud accounts.
    How do I switch my iPad to the new one I got to give this one to my son.
    What do you mean by "switch.. ipad to the new one"?
    What all goes to the iCloud?
    Backups of iOS devices, Apple services that you turn on to share data (settings>icloud; on an iOS device), third party apps that use icloud to sync their data between devices, email, photo stream, and more.
    How do we see what's in the iCloud? 
    Icloud is designed primarily for syncing data between the devices of the user - like getting all computers and devices to have the same contacts or calendars.  When you set up syncing (settings>icloud, turn on the services you want synced between your devices), some of that data will also be available to a computer's browser when you log into icloud.com.  Otherwise you view the data using the associated app, like the Calendar app to see events.  Other things that may be on icloud, like backups cannot be seen.  Also iCloud does not provide a photo gallary that others can view in a browser.
    How can I print from the iPad? 
    For that you need an "airprint" compatible printer. See,
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    You can also print to a printer that's connected to a computer, but that computer needs special software, like Printopia for macs.
    Everything I see says iOS 10 something?  I believe I only have 6 something?
    There is no "10", version 6 is the current one.  You are probably thinking of OSX, whose versions are 10.x.y.  That's for macs, not iOS devices.
