Can I share documents with other iCloud accounts in my family?
Both me and my wife use iCloud, we have separate accounts, although they used to be a family account in the MobileMe world.
I've just started using numbers and am impressed with iCloud integration however I want to be able to share some documents with my wife and vice versa. I hoped this would work similar to calendar whereby you can invite another user to share the calendar. For calendars it works brilliantly but I can't find anything similar with the documents.
I can share a document via email but it would be good if we could sync certain documents.
Does anyone know if this is possible? If not, can someone tell me how I could submit feedback for iCloud to Apple?
Many thanks
Chris
Unfortunately that isn't possible, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.

How can i share ical with other iCloud accounts
I have an iCloud account and use ical, my husband opened another iCloud account and i would like to share my ical with him on his iPhone
Hey beachwhale,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to share a calendar from iCloud with another user. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?
Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?
No. iCloud provides no equivalent of the iDisk; it's designed for syncing calendars, email, bookmarks, contacts, photos a iWork (only, so far) documents between your Mac(s) and iPhone/iPod/iPad. The data is not accessible to anyone else.
For file storage and sharing you will need a third-party solution - this page examines some options:

Can I share documents with others like I do with dropbox?
I wanna know if I can share documents with iCloud Drive like I do with Dropbox. I would like to send a link to others so they can download files stored on my iCloud Drive.
Not that I know of. You might want to consider a different file sharing service such as Dropbox.

How can I share documents with other users from iWork?
With iWork.com no longer in existence, how can I share large documents with other users?
Dropbox works pretty well for sharing.

Can't share documents with others on my computer
I have File Sharing turned on in my iMac Preferences. I went to the users folder and then clicked on the shared folder. I put a folder containing some .pdf files in there. Then I had my wife login. She went to the shared folder and was able to see the folder I put there. However, there was a little red warning sign on the folder. When she tried to open the folder, she was told she didn't have sufficient privledges. What am I missing here?
Thanks!The folder you moved there had its permissions set to No Access for all users but you (this is the default for your Documents, Pictures, Music, and Movies folders - was it one of those?)
You could Get Info the folder and adjust the permissions so that other users can read its contents. Or you could just go to the /Users/Shared folder, and create a new folder inside. By default, all new folders are readable by other users. Just put your files into that.
Oh, and you can turn off File Sharing. It is only needed to share files with remote computers. If you don't want or need to do that it's best to leave it turned off. -
Can I share files with others with iCloud Drive? ie: I want to collaborate on Garageband files
No iDisk-like functionality exists in iCloud. You'll have to look elsewhere, such as Dropbox or SugarSync.

How can I share photos with others in other places using ICloud?
If you have iPhoto on an iOS device rather than a Mac, you can create a 'Photo Journal', which is an online gallery hosted on iCloud: details here -
http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.0/#blnkaf3ef70a
This facility is not as yet available in iPhoto on a Mac. If you don't have an iOS device you will need to find a third-party alternative. This page examines some options:

how can i sign in with my icloud account without entering the password of the other account?
Sorry kokorokok,
You are going to need the iCloud ID and password of the previous sign on in order to delete the account:

All the steps in the link above must be followed in order for you to get your iCloud ID signed onto your device.
Sorry,

How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?
How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?
Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
The second is a bit trickier. -
HT4059 can I share book with other user
Can I share book with other user?
ibooks, and other content from Apple, is tied to your account, and they can't be lent to other accounts - so unless the person that you want to share with has access to your account then no, you can't

how do i transfer all my iphone music to a new itunes library on a new pc so i can then share it with other devices
Copy the entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods discussed here: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer. If you no longer have the old computer and you have to transfer it from your phone, you will have to purchase and use third-party software to extract the music from your phone, such as Touch Copy or CopyTrans.

How can I share iphotos with others on the web using photo stream?
The apple instructions for iPhoto 11 says:
It’s easy to create a photo stream to share your photos. You can also view the photos you’ve already shared.
To create a shared photo stream:
Select the photos you want to share.
In the toolbar, click the Share button, choose Photo Stream from the pop-up menu, and then click New Photo Stream.The New Shared Photo Stream dialog appears.
In the To field, type the email addresses for your invitees.To enable your invitees to access the shared photo stream from an iOS device, you must provide the email addresses associated with their iCloud accounts.
In the Name field, type a name for the photo stream.
etc
All I get is that photo is already shared, or no dialogues at all
I certainly never get a chance to choose a "New Photo Stream" oenter an email address
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?What version of iPhoto?
Directions for setting up diferent devices including minimum software versions required fore different features like Shared PhotoStreams are heree - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

Share calendars with other iCloud users
How do I share my calendars with other iCloud users? I can't figure it out on the icloud website.
You need to click on the sharing icon to the right of the calendar name in the top left corner of the calendar window at iCloud.com. But you need to do this from a computer.

When I start up my iMac it shuts down.
When I first turn on my iMac, it will shut down 1 or 2 times before it stays on. There are no error messages or Question marks on start up. Everything works fine once it's on. Is there something I can do to correct this?
