Creating a private ICloud that will not be shared with my family?

I recently lost (and recovered) all of my data on my phone, so now I'm looking into ICloud to prevent this from happening again.  My family currently uses the same Apple ID for itunes and this works fine, but I am under the impression that if i back up all my data on ICloud it will be shared with everyone using this account along with me.  Is there a way to create a private SEPERATE ICloud backup that only I have access to?

Go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with a separate Apple ID to create a personal iCloud account.  Your synced data, photo stream and backup will be kept separate from your family.
You can continue to share the same ID for iTunes, it doesn't need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

  • Applications will not be shared with family sharing mac app store

    I wanted to ask why some apps on mac app store after you enable the "family sharing" with another family member if I go to "purchase application tab" next to the name of some application there "can not be shared". what's the point if I can not share activate the app.
    Version: Yosemite 10.10
    Thanks

    I am having a similar problem. I get one of two errors: "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)" OR "We could not complete your purchase INSTALL_ERROR_DISTRIBUTION_SIGNED_BY_APPLE".
    I am having this trouble on a brand new MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.1. My firewall is off and no virus software is installed.
    I can download and update apps on a different computer using OS X 10.6.8 just fine.
    Any other recommendations?

  • I have a Pages document in iCloud that will not open. I have Time Machine. How do I get to the version of the document that is not corrupted?

    I'm in a bind. I tried to open a Pages document that I saved from the current version of Pages on my iMac this morning on my iPad, which has the current version of Pages of the iPad. It would not open on the iPad. Now it also will not open on the iMac, or on the Beta of iCloud Pages.
    If it were on my hard drive, I could use Time Machine to recover the most recent version, but it's in iCloud. I've been told that implies that there is a local copy, but I don't know where that is.
    It's a book manuscript I've been working on for months. I'm not happy.
    Thanks for the help.

    Your opinion of Apple products seems unusually harsh. I know how iCloud works and I'm generally pretty happy with it. I also like Pages a lot more than MS Word, and somewhat more than NeoOffice. Word is overripe with so many features Microsoft keeps radically changing the interface in the desperate hope that somehow they will make it easy to use again, but instead, they just confuse everybody with the unnecessary changes.
    They had menus, until there were too many options to fit the screen, so they added submenues, until that wasn't enough, so they added dialog boxes, until that wasn't enough, so they added tabbed dialog boxes, and realized that a lot of commonly used features were too hard to get to, so they added the Toolbar just as a shortcut to the more common features and then came up with the unforgivable decision to eliminate the menu interface entirely in the Windows version of the product and replace it with The Ribbon, which took me so long to interpret that I stopped using Word altogether.
    NeoOffice is simpler and quite useful, but it was iCloud that sold me on Pages. It's great being able to review and edit documents on iOS devices in addition to automatically synchronizing across Mac OS X devices.
    I have options for synchronization with Box and DropBox, and I have a network share I can use, if having a local copy isn't important, but I find that having a local copy (like with Box, DropBox and iCloud) is great because each computer I use has Time Machine, so I don't have to rely on the service to restore a file. I can get it, myself. It's easier to browse to the version I want in Time Machine than it is to estimate the time I want to restore from and hope that someone else can find the right version of the file from whenever they made a backup to restore it for me. I have unhappy experiences from this kind of request to restore stuff.
    I find Box and DropBox to be somewhat crude compared to iCloud. I like Apple's new attitude toward saving files. When I edit in Pages and exit, the file is saved. If I edit a file and the power goes out, I generally lose a sentence or less. In traditional apps, I can easily lose hours of work, unless I remember to manually save as I go.
    iCloud is not a general remote file storage facility. At it's root, it is a roaming version of whatever you have on iOS devices. So, if I want to access a file from multiple devices and not have to worry about versions, I use iCloud.
    This problem I just had was the first problem I've had with iCloud, and with Time Machine, and I use them a lot. Having someone tell me where the local copy of the documents are fixed the problem.
    I love Time Machine.
    For myself, when I upgraded from Bento 1 to Bento 2 on several computers, one of them choked on my data file. I followed Bento's directions to recover the data file until it said to reinstall Bento 1 from original medium. I couldn't find my disc. Yes, I had bought it. I don't steal software. But I couldn't find my disc.
    So, I used Time Machine to restore Bento 1. Just try restoring an older version of an app in Windows from any backup software available to Windows and see how far you get.
    I helped someone else recover a couple thousand email messages using Time Machine instead of dealing with the email service because we could open Mail, go to the folder where the messages had disappeared when she had a power glitch, and then browse back until we found the backup just before the messages disappeared. The restore took about 20 minutes, but again, this verges on magic.
    I've used Time Machine to restore an older version of OS X when someone discovered that a crucial app wasn't ready for it yet. The glitch was that she hadn't backed up for a month. She kept ignoring the warning prompts. So, when I showed up, I had her do a current backup before doing the restore. We then restored to the old OS, restarted in the old OS and opened Time Machine to recover all her documents, pictures, etc. from the current backup, so she didn't lose a month of work. This is another thing I can't do with other backup programs.
    So, I'm generally pretty happy with Apple. Once someone told me where the local copy of my iCloud documents resides, I could take care of this most recent problem.

  • How can I create a private app that does not appear in a search on the app store?

    I have an app which I only want certain people to see but no matter what I do it continues to appear when people search for it in the app store. Is there a setting I can use so that it doesn't appear in any search?

    Thanks, it was linked in iPhoto.  After removing it from iPhoto I still got the same message when trying to delete the account from Mail.  After rebooting, I was able to remove the account from Mail.

  • I have a few important add-ons that will not work, yet, with Firefox 4. How easy is it for me to downgrade to 3.6 temporarily until these issues have been resolved?

    I really need to downgrade to the previos Firefox version just until a couple of add-ons have been upgraded. How easily can I do this without losing my current settings?

    There is no guarantee that the add-ons that currently do not work with Firefox 4 will ever be updated, they may have been discontinued.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.

  • OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF. then 2.  need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that

    OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF; then 2. I need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that??
    I had been saving as a PDF and then reducing the size of the PDF by printing it as a PDF with a degree of image compression. I write manuals with a LOT of screen captures and line art that needs to be clear. So it is a balancing act between image clarity and PDF size. The PDFs on the web need to be smaller - sure you can undertsand.
    Anyway, when I print the PDF again, I lose both my destinations and bookmarks.
    Anyone know of any way to avoid that?

    Control the images by creating a custom PDF Job Options and then selecting it in the PDF Job Options drop-down of the PDF setup dialog box (File > Save as PDF...)
    Create the custom PDF Job Options file with Distiller. If you do not have Distiller, open the Printing Preferences of the Adobe PDF printer. Start with the Smallest File Size Job Options settings and Edit.

  • When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. How can I resolve this?

    Question
    When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    My iphone 4s will not back up with iCloud. it tells me i dont have enough iCloud storage available, that i can manage my storage in my settings, when i click the settings it tells me i have 2.8 GB free space out of 5 GB. i dont know what to do about this problem. it hasnt been backed up in 3 weeks. and if i still have icloud space avaliable on my phone i do not need to purchase more. i have very few aps backed up on my icloud. i do not understand this help me please

    Go to Settings>General>Usage and see how much space is available on your phone (listed at the very top).  The pop-up might be telling you that you don't have enough space on your phone to perform the backup, not that you don't have enough space in your iCloud acount to store the backup.

    I have an iPad that will not allow me to accept iCloud terms and conditions. It just says server not available. But on an annoyingly regular basis a pop up asks me to accept term and cond, I go to iCloud and try to but that is when it tells me it cannot connect to the server. Frustrating as I cannot get rid of the pop ups.

    Thanks champion! Apple support is useless! Way too difficult to get anywhere with their "support"

    Attempted to create a slideshow (version 9.3) and get the dreaded spinning ball that will not go away; iphoto locked up when open.  how do I get rid of the ball.  Have forced quit seveal times and opens with the spinning ball.

    Make a temporary, backup copy if you don't have a backup copy of the library (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4
    Launch iPhoto and try again.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    My ipad will has a pop-up that will not go away when I click ok, and makes it completely impossible to use the ipad. The pop-up says "iCloud Backup: This ipad has not been backed up in 6 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wifi." I do not know what to do.

    Same situation.  Had to pull out the Mini to research this.  The Apple logo has been on the screen about five min, oh, just went black.  Home brought it back and popup is gone.  Wonder why this happened to many folks.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    When you delete the old account from the phone, the data is only deleted from that device, it is not deleted from the cloud. As such you will not lose the data off your phone either.
