Can I share my iCloud Photostream with someone else with a different Apple ID? How?

Yeah no kidding.
I have a big paid up MobileMe account with tons of gallery stuff - this will all go away for me in July, and I'll miss it - it took no learning to use, and it was built into everything - just intuitive to post to a gallery password protect it, and send a link to a friend. Click click done!
It bothers me a lot when features I really enjoy and use are pulled in these half baked new apps and services.
iMovie used to be quite good, but the new one is very restrictive - it's a step backwards in some ways.
MobileMe was fine, but iCloud takes away the Gallery???? - another step backward.
We use some iPhones at work for shooting some videos and technical engineering photo's, and while it's pretty cool that the iPhone photo's get put on the photostream of "Jason's iMac", I don't have instant access, and I would really like to be able to do that. If it could be done, then I can stay at home and work sometimes and I can get the photo's automagically.
Apple - please fix this.

How can I view my iCloud contacts from someone else's iPhone? I don't want to change their phone settings.

Yesterday I ran into a problem that was eye opening to say the least. I could not not access my contacts in order to find a friend's phone number. No one remembers phone numbers any more. God knows I don't.
I was on a jetski and it broke down. I was stranded at a dock miles away. I needed to contact my friend to tell him (a) I'm ok, (b) where I was, (c) to bring a tow. Of course I had no phone on me because it would have gotten soaked.
People were kind enough on the dock to let me use their smart phones to attempt to retreive the phone number and call for help. But I quickly discovered that it is impossible.
On an iPhone, I tried to use their Safari browser to go to www.icloud.com. When you do that, it simply redirects you to the apps. But it isn't my phone, and their apps are logged in to the owner's accounts. I wasn't about to update the settings in a stranger's phone.
One guy let me try his iPad with Cellular. Same problem as the iphones. It would not let me use www.icloud.com. It insisted that I use the native iOS apps.
On an Android, www.icloud.com would simply refuse to work. It would say it was not supported.
The question I have is: How can I view my contacts from someone else's smart phone in an emergency situation?
Second question: Why can't I use www.icloud.com on a smart phone's web browser like I can on regular computer?
I got lucky. I happened to know my mom's home number. Many hours later she was home and I was able to use a phone to call her. She brought up www.icloud.com on her home computer, logged on as me, and read me the phone number I was seeking. But what are the chances of being able to call a trusted person who has access to a computer to do this for you?

Without "pretending" to be yourself on the other phone (change settings) there's nothing else you can do.
iOS devices are meant to be single user and can't view iCloud.com the same way a Mac or PC can do.
You need to find a desktop or laptop machine (Mac or PC) to log in at iCloud.

Can I share my iCloud files that are stored with friends? How?

I don't understand iCloud at all. I just know it apparently automatically gets stuff off my phone and ipad and stores it so I am always backed up.
Am I able to actually SEE my backed up files by going to "iCloud"?? Like going to a web page and seeing an index of all my files and folders? Sorry to be so dense.
Can I store files from my computer there? If I can, how do I do it?
Can I give access to my files on iCloud to my brother or friends? How would I do that?
Thank you to anyone who can explain all of this to me.

iCloud is a service that is designed to sync your contacts, calendars, reminders, notes, Safari bookmarks, and iWork documents between your devices. It also will stream your photos between your devices, back up your iOS devices, provide you with an iCloud email account and allow you to locate your devices if they are lost.
It isn't a general file storage service, and as such will not store individual files or allow others to access them. There are many other cloud-based services that provide that, including the ones mentioned here: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/missing/inicloud3.html.

Shared photoStreams are also available on a PC
How do friends and family view my photos?
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream. Learn more about inviting people to view your shared photo streams.

Can I share my iCloud calendar with someone not using iCloud but has a mac?

I would like to share one of my calendars with someone else also using a mac but doesn't use iCloud. I would like them to be able to read/write on this calendar

You can only share a read/write calendar with another iCloud member. You can share a read-only calendar with a non-member: the recipient can subscribe to it in iCal. Just get them to open an iCloud account if they have Lion on their Mac.

You forgot Windows. Windows users get preferred privileges over Snow Leopard.

Yes, but the access of some services is limited to 10 devices.

Can I share my iCloud with my family in another state?

Can I share my ICloud with a family member in another state?

What do you want to share with the family member? If each of you have their own iCloud accounts you can create private Photos Streams that only they can view. If it's a calandar then you can create a shared calendar between the two of you.
However, as randers4 has warned, if you give them your iCloud ID and password they can get your email, contacts and everything else shareable with iCloud.

Can I share my iCloud storage with my wife? I'm interested in using the storage for both phones, hers and mine.

You will not want to do that and you should just have two 5GB free accounts.
Too much risk of merging or losing data.

Can I share my icloud with my partner who has a differentt apple id

My Partner is working abroad and has an iphone a pc and his own apple id. Can we share our icloud?

If you want to share music, apps, books etc., you need to both use the same iTunes account. many people do this and still keep their own iCloud account so they keep their own mail, calendars, contacts etc.
If you want to share photos you will need to use the same iCloud account, even a secondary account won't help with photos..

HT5527 Can I share my iCloud folders with others? If so, how?

Can I share my iCloud folders with others? If so, how?

This is something for the Apple engineers to answer. I too would like the ability to share folders and/or individual files a la Dropbox.
I've written about some of my complaints with the service so far on this discussion thread: Ways to make competitive with Dropbox

sorry, after a further read, the comment was about icloud not ical. I don't have icloud because I don't have Lion because it doesn't work well with FCP7. So I don't know how to share my ical. Can you help?

If Iq backup my iPhone using my icloud can someone else using the same Apple ID as me back up their iPhone to icloud?

If Iq backup my iPhone using my icloud can someone else using the same Apple ID as me back up their iPhone to icloud?

If they sign into your iCloud account with your ID, their iCloud backup would then be in your account. However, they would also be sharing your iCloud account and any data they sync with the account (contacts, calendars, etc.) will be merged with yours and the merged list will appear on both phones. They would also be able to access your email account and their photo stream photos would be merged with yours (as you would be sharing the same photo stream). Furthermore, if they are using iOS 7 and turn on Find My iPhone while signed into your account, their phone will require your iCloud ID and password in order to be turn off Find My iPhone, sign out of iCloud or erase and reactivate their phone.
Unless you wish to share all this data, and have the other person's data merged with yours you should do this. (iCloud accounts are really designed to be used by a single person.)
