Can I use gmail as default client for sharing photos from camera roll or links from safari?

I use the Gmail app for my Gmail stuff (my normal default email address). I use yahoo with apples mail app. When I try to send a link from safari or share a photo I have taken from my camera roll, it sends using my yahoo email. I would prefer Gmail as my yahoo email is only around for fantasy sports.
Is there any way to do this?
I have tried setting up Gmail using apples setup in an attempt to make a gmail send only type of account, however it tells me an account is already set up, maybe due to my using of googles calendar and googles contacts? Can't seem to figure out how to properly do this. Maybe remove my calender and contacts stuff completely and try to re-setup the mail account (since I am using the gmail app, I wouldn't think it would hook into the native ios mail one)?
Any ideas?

Rock- I have google contacts set up as a CardDav account. Apparently I must have had google calendar set up using the standard ios gmail account setup for mail, while just turning the mail function to "off" in the settings. This was why I could not add a gmail account...I already had done this lol.
I tried a couple of things and still couldn't figure it out. I can't add an ics subscribed calendar for some reason as it isn't enable to authenticate. Nor can I set up a simple CalDav calendar, despite my settings being correct, it wasn't able to successfully authenticate either. Or maybe it was "verify" and not "authenicate"...at any rate I coudln't do it.
Maybe I am explaining what I want to do incorrectly. I'll try again, though it is probably as clear as mud lol.
I want my google contacts and my calendar. If iOS handles this for me I am totally ok with that. I want my Gmail app, which handles the bulk, or essentially all of my mail for me, labels etc, and I use it all the time...which of course I am ok with as well.
I want the native iOS mail app to handle my yahoo account, which sees little to no email transaction from me. It does this well right now, as its pretty much only a seasonal account....meaning when it is fantasy football season, it comes into play.
I want the native iOS mail app to handle any photos or links I send from the phone to give my gmail account address in the "From" part of the header....even if it sends it from yahoo's servers. Preferably I would like it to come from gmails servers but I know I can't have my cake and eat it too.
The reason for all this is if I send someone a photo I want them to respond to my gmail not my yahoo account. I tried setting up the gmail account using the native iOS gmail account setup, but what happens is that I end up with my incoming gmail in two spots on the phone, which I don't want.
If I could turn off incoming gmail using the native iOS account setup, this would solve the issues. I would then be able to designate the native Gmail account as primary (for use as a send only account), and still keep the yahoo inbox going as well.
Even if I went to extremes and paid money so I could forward my yahoo mail to my gmail account, thereby allowing my to remove yahoo completely from the phone, I would just be left with no option to send emails as there would be no default account available (as my gmail is handled by the app, not the phone).

TS3989 Can you use the search function in a shared photo stream? How?

Can you use the search function in a shared photo stream? When I try to search in the shared photo stream it goes to search in my photos.

I'm not sure there is a solution to your question, other than to not keep so many photos on your devices. If you delete a photo from photo stream, it will delete it from all your devices. To keep them, first save them to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. However, given the number of photos you have, a much more practical solution would be to transfer them to your computer using an app like PhotoSync, which will select them all at once and transfer them over wifi.
I'm not sure why you're seeing such a discrepancy in the amount of space taken up by your photos. It's possible that something is corrupt given the large number of photos on your device.

I made an album just now. I went back to delete the pics from my camera roll but my only option is to "delete everywhere." I want to leave them in the new album I made.. How i can delete them from camera roll without deleting from other Album i made

I made an album just now. I went back to delete the pics from my camera roll but my only option is to "delete everywhere." I want to leave them in the new album I made.. How i can delete them from camera roll without deleting from other Album i made

The way that I understand that it works, is that the photos are not copied into the new albums, instead it just points to the photos - the number of photos on the iPad in Settings > General > About doesn't increase when you create new album so I assume from that that it isn't copying the photo, just pointing to it. So if you delete the photo from the camera roll you will therefore also be deleting all the pointers to it

How can I delete photos from camera roll but not from another album??

When I create a new album and copy some pictures from the camera roll to the new album, they stay on the camera roll, and when I delete one of the copied ones from camera roll it also gets deleted from the new album, how can I avoid this???

You can't. The way that I consider it to work is that you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo in the new album (I don't think that the total number of photos on the device increases when you 'copy' them into new albums), so if you then delete the original photo you will also delete all the pointers to it.

IPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.

iPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email. "The email server didn't recognise username/password combination". Both appear correct in preferences/accounts. Mail sends and receives messages perfectly.
(This problem also occurs when trying to send from Thunderbird, however both iPhoto and Thunderbird can send perfectly well using the Gmail server).

Hi there
I should explain that I have 5 days experience of the iMac but have had a working iCloud account with my iPad for several months. I don't think this is an iCloud issue as such. My thought is that this is something to do with the Mail application itself and its relationship to my Apple ID etc. (Perhaps when the iMac first configured itself?)
I have deleted and manually reset both Mail and iPhone account settings for iCloud using the Apple recommended settings and I have tentatively checked that the username/password combination is as expected in Keychain but I'm too much of an Apple novice to go any further with that.
On a PC I think I would try reinstalling the Mail programme but I don't see that as an option.

That's actually how Guest Access feature works. You can share internet to your guest/visitors without giving them access to your local network.

Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both?

Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both? Everytime I try to sync my new iPad, it syncs all the apps that are on my account. If I can do this, can someone tell me how please???

Yes you can, easily. When you plug the first pad in to sync, note the name of the pad on the last pane. Set up for that device whatever you want to sync. When you are done, plug the second pad in. Make sure it has a different name on the left pane. Then sync to that pad whatever you want. I tunes will remember what you did on each pad, and will start from there the next time you plug in.

HT204053 Can you use the same Apple ID for two devices ?

Can I use the same Apple ID for multiple devices

Can I use the same Apple ID for multiple devices?

Yes. Up to five devices can be authorized on a single computer using the same Apple ID. You can also use the same Apple ID on multiple devices is they are all going to use the same iTunes Library by the same user. But it's ill-advised if multiple users are involved who wish to keep their devices separate from the devices belonging to other users.
How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer
Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

How can I use my external hard drive for my iphoto instead of my mac book pro memory?

i don't know if this question has been asked before: how can I use my external hard drive for my iphoto instead of my mac book pro memory? just like itunes all my song are save on my external hard drive. make sense?

Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Can I use the same email address for multiple seats in Creative Cloud for Teams?

Can I use the same email address for multiple seats in Creative Cloud for Teams?

No. http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Can I buy more than one membership to an individual offering of Creative Cloud?
No, Adobe has moved to identity-based licensing with a technology that will not support multiple same-product licenses, so you can buy only one membership per Adobe ID. If you need two Creative Cloud memberships, you will need to purchase each with a unique Adobe ID. You can also purchase a Creative Cloud for teams membership, which allows you to purchase and manage multiple seats under one account.
