Four iOS Devices on Mac

I want to set up icloud, but I am a little confused. My wife and I each have an iPhone and Ipad, but only one Mac, what would be the best way to set this up, I would like to share our calendar and adress book. I do have all the devices working using iMessage, Facetime using differant ID's and I am using the same ID for iTunes. Anything would be helpful. I have read the articles on Macworld and macsotries.net, but still come away confused.
Thanks,
Felix

How can i create an icloud accout without any iOS device or Mac?

I do not have an iOS device nor do I have a Mac. I would like to view other persons Photostream. When I download the iCloud 2.1.1 (for windows) I am being asked to sign in with my apple ID. When I enter it, I am being told that the apple ID is correct, but that this is not an iCloud account. From here I don't know how to continue.

You can't.

One iCloud, two iOS devices, one mac: How do I have different settings?

Hi all,
I have a MBP and iPhone 5 and recently just got iPad mini as a gift.
I have my iPhone sync thru iCloud with my MBP. Now I would like to setup my iPad with the same iCloud so I can have contacts, calendar, reminder, and photo stream BUT, I don't want to have the same apps in those two iOS. For example, I only want games on my iPad, while I want games and some more on my iPhone. However I still wanna sync everything else. Is it possible to do this with one iCloud? My iCloud is also the same as my Apple ID that I use to download apps and music.
Thank you!

You can't if you restore the existing backup. In order to do that, you would have to go on your phone to Setting>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your phone under Backups (at the top), then on the next screen under Backup Options, turn off all of the apps you don't want on your iPad. (Tap Show All Apps to be sure you see them all.) Then create a new backup on your phone by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tapping Back Up Now (at the bottom).
When it's finished, you can restore this backup to your iPad and it will only include the apps that you didn't turn off before making the backup. (It also won't tranfer any apps that are not compatible with your iPad.)
When you're done, you can go back to your phone and turn all the apps back on again under Backups Options and create a new backup to be sure these are included again should you ever need to restore the backup to your phone.

My router and access point reboots when trying to stream content from iOS devices or mac to my apple tv.

the zycel N series access point and cisco router reboots when i try to stream or mirror onto apple tv using air play. What can be the cause of the problem?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Iphoto shared album in iCloud not showing all images to my IOS devices bar Mac

I created an album today with 118 pictures in it. I shared with a number of people using iCloud. When I visited the album to show someone through my iPhone it only contains 20 images. The same happens on my iPad. In iPhoto when I select the album I see 118 images.
Incidentally, when I create a new album in iPhoto it copies some images from the first album I created into it and I then have to delete.

Have you tried this:

Streaming itunes from iOS device to mac computer's speaker

I acquired a good Logitech laptop speaker and wonder how I can stream itunes music wirelessly from my ipod touch to my MacBook Pro. There is lots of software doing it the other way round.

In case you're wondering where the File menu is (at least in the Windows version), you have to press Alt to access it; not sure why it's hidden in that way.

All of our iOS devices are displaying the message that they can't connect to the Internet. All show good wifi connections. Our Macs all connect to the internet just fine suggesting that the network is good. I'm stumped.

Airport Utility on the Macs show good internet signals but on our two iPads and my iPhone 5 there are no indications of internet connectivity. One of the iPads is running iOS 7 but the other is still running iOS 6. The iPhone 5 is updated to iOS 7.
Is there a setting switch that if set incorrectly would create this problem? Like I said before, all the iOS devices stopped internet connectivity at the same time.
Update: Well while I was typing this I was called away to help get people to bed etc. And when I got back I tried all four iOS devices and, now, they all connect to the internet. I don't understand it. Two iPhones, different iOS versions, and two iPads, different generations and also different iOS versions, all decided that they would disconnect themselves from the internet but stay connected to the wifi network. Somebody must have an explanation for what just happened. Remember it isn't the router because the Macs all had uninterrupted internet connections. Weird!

I used to have a satellite connection to the internet. When ever the power went off I was told to turn on the devices in a specific order for them to work properly.
Try shutting off every device including all iPads, iPhones, computer, Wi-Fi router and Satellite modem. Then turn them on one at a time in the order listed below. Be sure to wait until each device completes its start up routine before starting up the next item. When my satellite modem was restarted it often had to download an update. The time this took varied with the update. So be sure the Satellite modem is up and connected to the Satellite before going to the next device.
1. Satellite Modem.
2. Wi-Fi Router
3. Your computer. Check to see that your computer connects to the internet.
4. iPad or iPhone and remaining devices one at a time.

Deleting an iMessage on an iOS device won't sync the deletion on Mac OS

I have scoured through the discussion boards for solutions on how sync message deletions between my iOS devices and Macs via iCloud. So far, no dice. Here's where I'm at now:
I have been able to successfully sync new message creations across all of my iOS and MacOS devices. By that, I mean I can start a new iMessage conversation on any of my Macs or iOS devices and that new message will appear among all of my other iOS and MacOS devices. And it does so almost immediately. Which is great and as advertised.
However, if I then delete that same new message from any of my Macs or iOS devices, it remains on all of my other iOS and MacOS devices. So I'm stymied: although creating a new message puts that message on all connected iCloud devices, deleting that message from any device is only a local phenomenon: to delete any message from all devices, I need to manually go to each device and delete it. Which ***** and is not as I'd remember it being advertised.
So here are my questions for the group:
1) Is syncronized deletions across all devices/computers even possible? The folks on this here board don't seem to think it is.
2) Have you personally been able to sync your deletions across your Macs/iOS devices?
2a) If so, can you point to a link or explanation of how, exactly you set up your devices?
3) What is your Mac OS and iOS version number, so at least we can compare notes? I'm on iOS 7.0.6 on all devices, OSX Mavericks or OSX Mountain Lion on all Macs.
Cheers and thanks in advance, everyone!

Hi,
The Issue is what you mean by "Sync" and what Apple put into the Apps.
The "Sync" is only "Display on all devices" and not anything else.
It has been this way in the beta (version 6.1 in Lion), Messages 7 and 7.0.1 in Mountain Lion and the version in Mountain Lion (which does include changes at the OS 10.9.2 update but the Messages version has not changed)
At the OS X 10.8.2 (Messages version 7.0.1) we got the current form of iPhone Numbers and Apple ID full linking which did not happen before this.
This means iPhone could get Apple ID iMessages and the Mac could display the iPhone number iMessages.
The Read, Delivered and deleting an iMessages on one device does not cross over on to other devices.
In that respect it is closer to fetching POP mail on server devices compared to IMAP ones
Deleting something on IMAP server will delete it form any login.
Doing so on a POP email will not.

Is it possible to control a Mac directly from an iOS device without being connected to a WiFi network, i.e. an airport or similar.

I would like to control my MacMini (Late 2012) 2.3GHz Intel Quad Core i7 processor directly from my iOS device, either my iPhone 6 or my iPad G3. By directly I mean without having a wireless or wired network in place.
I know there are a number of iOS apps that utilize VNC technology but I believe they all require the Mac to be connected via WiFi to an Airport or similar wireless networking device. I would like to control my MacMini remotely without having it already connected to a WiFi network and wondered is it possible? The iOS device and Mac would be in close proximity to one another.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks.

Guys, thanks but I did not mean to control it by infrared. I know only too well that iOS devices do not have that capability. However they and the Mac both can send and receive WiFi signals so is there any reason they can't talk to each other directly.
When I am in my home I have an airport but I would like to take the Mac Mini out on music gigs with my Apollo interface which serves as my mic preamp and mixer as it does in my studio but the Apollo needs to be connected to the mac via thunderbolt to download the plugin software that provides reverb and eq, etc. I would like to do this without the need of a monitor and keyboard, hence my dilemma. The only thing I basically need to do is start the mini and the rest happens automatically but I need to also shut down (which I know can be accomplished a couple of ways) but with out having a visual interface you can't make any changes or verify what setting are being used.

ICal Shared Not Appearing on iOS Devices But Do In Macs' iCals

I am running Mountain Lion, but this issue was also happening in Lion. As a former Apple Specialist who specialized in iCloud, I've stumped myself and several AppleCare reps. They have forwarded this on to the engineers.
I have three calendars that I share from iCal to my family's iOS devices and Macs. The calendars are updating fine on all Macs, but are not updating on any iOS devices. They used to update slower, but it's gone to nothing.
I've tried everything under the sun including:
1. Turning iCloud on and off on each device AND on my Mac.
2. Restoring the iPhones as new phones
3. Exporting the calendar, importing it as a new calender and sharing it. Still doesn't update after the initial setup.
4. Quitting the Calendar on the iOS device and reopening it and restarting the iPhone.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I've totally stumped Apple. And remember Steve said, "It just works." It's not.

Colleen,
Considering your expertise, and all the resources you have accessed, I am hesitant to offer suggestions.

Viewing a document created on ios on my Mac with Pages 5.0 wihtout sharing via icloud?

I have Pages 5.0 on my ios device and Mac. When I create a document on my Mac in Pages it will automatically appear on my Pages app on my ios. But when I create a docuemnt on my ios it will not generate on my Mac. I'm pretty sure it used to do this before 5.0.
I know I can share my documents via icloud and pull it up on my browser, but I don't want to have to edit documents on my browser. I'd imagine there has to be a way of just using the Pages app and Pages on my Mac. Is there not a way to pull up the documents I created on Pages on my iso on Pages on my Mac?
It sounds like there have been problems with the upgrade to 5.0. As I mentioned, I believe that it used to automatically generate documens created on my ios on my Mac when my computer would start. Is this soemthign I could solve to downgrading. Or am I not doing something correctly?

It seems as though your documents are syncing to iCloud properly but don't seem to be making their way to your Mac.
Have you tried disabling pages in your iCloud settings, restarting your Mac then re-enabling pages in iCloud.

IOS 8 for Mac mini

i would like to try the iCloud drive but it's giving me and alert that my 2 Mac minis wont be able to open existing docs until I get iOS 8. How can I update Mac mini to ios8??

iOS 8 is for iOS devices, not Macs. You need to wait until Yosemite is available and upgrade the Macs to it.

Messages on the Mac (10.8.4) no longer syncs with iMessages sent between iOS devices

I've been running Messages on the Mac since the Beta, and I've always had messages sync to the Mac and all iOS devices. In the last week, the Mac no longer posts imessages... only messages sent from the Mac trigger the Messages app to start tracking the message thread.
I've got my iphone number and three emails in both the Messages preferences (using my Apple ID) and on all of the iOS devices. So I should be receiving messages to four addresses (one phone number and three emails). I did get a new iPhone 5 on Wednesday, but the issue started prior to loading the new phone with my backup.

Hi, Ralph. Thanks so much for taking the time to address my discussion. While your solution did not correct the problem, it did bring clarity that it's the Mac–not the iPhone or other iOS devices–that is the entity having trouble.
While going through your solution steps on the iPhone, I decided that I should probably take the same actions on my iPad (Wi-Fi Only). When I turned to the iPad, I realized that both the iPad and the iPhone have remained in sync with all messages: only the Mac has not been posting some iMessages.
So I did perform your solutions steps, but they did not have an effect on the Mac Messages. I then removed my Apple ID from Messages on the Mac, quit Messages, and Shut Down the Mac. After a few minutes, I started the Mac, launched Messages on the Mac, and activated an iMessage account using my Apple ID. No improvement on the Mac side was realized.
I think I have the issue better isolated to... Messages on the Mac was not accepting iMessages sent to or received from my telephone number. I've always had my Messages preference set to Start Messages from my Phone number (and again on my iPad and iPhone Settings), so I'm not sure what changed.
Once I triggered a new message on the Mac starting from my Phone number and being delivered to my Phone number, the Mac seems to have regained its knowledge of iMessages–originated from an iOS device using a phone number and being sent to a phone number–that should also be synced to Messages on the Mac. I'll keep an eye on it this week before closing this discussion.
