1 Apple ID / Acc, 2 iPhones how do i pick and choose what iCloud data shared?

Hi, I have a MBA, iPad, and 2 iPhones all registerd to the same Apple Account & ID.
I have 1 i-phone, the other is my wifes. We have them all sharing the same ID so that we can share / store itunes downloads without having to purchase them seperately; and thus pay for them twice.
We want to use the one iCloud account on both iPhones so that we can again share music. However in doing so other features are now shared, that we don't want to share. For example the Apple ID we share is mine and all devices now pick up my imessages. So my wife is getting bombared with my imessages.
Is there away to set up my Acc's / ID's up so that we can share our music and apps on both phones but nothing else?
I hope that makes sense,
Cheers
Tom

Yes, there is a solution for that...
Create or just use two different iCloud Accounts for Mail, Calendars, Notes, Reminders, iMessage, Facetime etc. and set it up on your and your wife's devices:
You can create a new iCloud account directly on your iPhone: "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud"
After that delete your existing account on your device ("Setting > iCloud") and sign in with the one you want to use for iCloud's services like Mail Calendars etc.
Change also the Settings for iMessage "Settings > Messages >Send & Receive" and also for FaceTime "Settings > FaceTime".
To use the same Apple ID for your store purchases (Music, Apps, Movies etc.) just go to "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" and sign in with your older Apple ID and password.

How can I pick and choose what IMAP folders are show in Mail?...

I am using IMAP and it works fine. Except "Sent" messages are saving on the server to "Send Messages" however I cannot see it on the list of IMAP folders in Mail. I see other folders, Save, etc. ones I created, just can't make the folder on the server show up in Mail.
If I go into the "Account Info" window in Mail, it does not show it either. Even though it is on the server and Mail is saving sent messages to it as it should.
Any ideas? How can I pick and choose what IMAP folders are show in Mail?
Thanks
Frank

Yes it is using the sent mailbox but just does not show it. MS Mail on Vista has a "show/hide" IMAP folder screen, I wish Mac Mail has this..would be perfect.
I was thinking about deleting the account, and adding it, that would reset it I am sure. However I have my mail set to keep a copy locally for off-line viewing (option in preferences under Account) and I get the sense that if I delete the IMAP account and add it, it will download a copy of each piece of mail (for example my inbox) again and I will have two of everything. Does this make sense? Do you think this will happen?

Runnig 10.6.8 on a MacBook PRO.....

The easiest fix if you're running Snow Leopard is to export all your contacts, then import them into something like google (I already had a gmail account), and then just use google to sync your contacts instead of icloud (via the sync with Google button in the address book settings).
Its a bit sluggish to update, but it works well. You can then point your iphone, and other iOS devices to use google for contacts too.
If Apple don't want to look after their customers, other companies will gladly do so....

I bought an Iphone 4S 16Gb from softbank - Japan. I would like to buy an active code for my Iphone, how can I do and where can I buy?

That iPhone is useable only on the softbank network. Softbank does not
unlock iPhones for use on other networks. Sell that iPhone to someone who
can use it on Softbank and use the money to buy an iPhone that will work
with your wireless provider.

HT204380 why apple does not provide iphone 4 ability to use facetime using cellular/3G data?

Why apple does not provide iPhone 4 ability to use facetime using cellular/3G data?

Because you can't. That's why.
No one here can address any question as to "why" Apple made the decision they did. We do not represent Apple.
Speculation is prohibited by the TOU.
The fact is, you can't do it. If that's not acceptable, then buy a new phone.

I used time machine to restore on a formatted MAC. Now the HDD space has reduced by 100GB but I cannot see any of the files. How do I find and delete those 100GB data from the HDD?

Not necessarily. I'd suggest downloading and installing the "combo" update. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

I want to know about wen the iphone 5 launch in india and also what will the price

Anyone here knows or has access to the same info that you do or can access.
If Apple has a website and online store in India, check Apple's website in India for an announcement.

How does one do updates when your service provider is s-l-o-w?? According to the counter, our computer needs almost 20 hrs. of updates, is there a way to pick and choose which ones are downloaded?

We have a "Rocket Hub" and our download times vary greatly. My husband's computer, Snow Leopard OS, shows he has about 20 hrs. of updates to download. Is there a way to pick and choose so we can catch up?

Nope, because files sizes, machines, software installed are different and you can't control what needs to be installed first before others work.
Apple is all Internet, you should see Lion users, they can't reinstall their OS at all without a Internet connection. (or pay $69 for the Lion USB key) and then there still the updates to deal with.
So take a ride, to a Apple Store early in the morning before their network gets overloaded (what a way to get you in the door and buy more junk uh?) fully update to 10.6.8.
Good thing about Snow Leopard, not much more in large updates coming for that verision, in fact they will stop completely come next spring or so when 10.8 is released.
Unless you live in a wealthy area with broadband, your a nobody in Apple's viewpoint.
You could get a 3G laptop connect card, hopefully that will give you enough to download your updates but they cost a fortune.
If I could just provide you with update disk I would, but I can't, machines are different.
Call Apple and ask for a update disk, perhaps they have a solution
Once you do get all your updates, Carbon Copy Clone your boot drive to a external drive, it's hold the option key bootable duplicate.
Donationware too.
