How to stop icloud from sharing files w multiple iphones

My husband and I both have iphones on a family plan. However everytime one of us downloads an app or itunes or change a contact in our phone, it changes the other phone as well. I tried turning off icloud in the phone but it still does it. It is extremely annoying, I would appreciate any help

we cannot then find each others's devices anymore.
Yes, you can. Just log in to the "Find my iPhone" app using the Apple ID for the device you want to find.
Why do you need to find each others devices though? Do you lose them often?
If you're actually using "Find my iPhone" as a way to keep track of each other, then you should be using the "Find my Friends" service and app on your devices.

How do I stop iCloud from sharing with other devices on my apple i.d?

My kids and I all share the one Apple i.d as they are young. I have just upgraded my iphone (to iphone 4) and I'm setting up iCloud for the first time. I have absolutely no idea how to use it.
I use my Calendar a lot, for all my appointments etc.
How do I prevent iCloud from sharing my Calendar, photos, messages, emails and everything else with my kids iphone and ipad? Some things are best kept private!
I have gone into settings, iCloud and tunred mail, calendar, contacts, photos and nearly everything to OFF. Will tha take care of the problem? Will iCloud still work on my phone then?

Yes, that should work. But let me ask one question, why do you set up your iCloud on your kids devices? If you share your Apple ID for store purchases (Apps, Music, Movies etc.) then just set it up in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Your kids do not need your iCloud account on their devices to get access to your media.

How to stop iCloud from signing back on

Because apps always crash when iCloud is on, I wanted to sign off iCloud. But there's a REAL problem.
iCloud keeps signing back in! Pages, SimpleText, Keynotes, et al won't load document windows at all with iCloud enabled but if I sign out, it signs out and I could open the app... but minutes later, iCloud just signs back and it gets to stop apps from opening!
Here's what I do.
Open System Preferences. Click on iCloud icon. Sign out. It will bring up dialogs asking me to delete or not. I delete them. I don't want iCloud because it's just not mature.. it makes too many mistakes in terms of user interface (which is a shock considering Apple should know better). It signs out and it shows two textboxes with Apple ID and Password as placeholders. If I leave it alone, I can open the apps and a blank document window (or theme chooser) appear.
Then I close the System Preference. I again open System Preferences and click on iCloud... it's BACK ON! I never signed in! And once again, apps won't open at all.
I've tried EVERYTHING without luck. I turned off iCloud account and it still doesn't do a thing.
How do I stop iCloud from signing in? And even better, is there a way to remove iCloud from Mac?

This does not work for me. It only hides the videos in the cloud I have not on my ipad air. The videos I already downloaded are still there, taking space. When I look at the TV shows in the itunes interface it does not even show that they are on my iPad. I tried adding them, syncing. Then it shows two copies (both run) of said videos. I delete the video and only the one added from itunes is deleted. The copy I downloaded and watched from iCloud is still there and not removable or deletable. I did not have this problem in iOS6. I could manually delete videos no mater what way I put them on the iPad within the itunes interface. This is a new iPad air that I setup as new, using the iCloud to populate the apps and settings, and then I added some stuff manually from cloud. It seems to be alot diffreent in how it operates though and I had this with my old ipad3 and iOS7 as well. Hiding the videos does not remove them...what do I do now?
Since it is a fresh, new ipad setup that took quite some time to get passwords and such setup or from cloud settings I hate to reset and start over, that is a pain.

How to stop iCloud from sending invites to other member of shared calendar?

My fiance and I both have iPhones and each have a shared personal calendar. When I update my calendar, which is shared with her in read-only mode, she gets an invitation notice in her calendar to 'accept' my calendar item. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to prevent this from happening. It would be ideal if I could create a personal calendar item and it would not notify her when I did so. Of course, she could always go into the Calendar and look to see what's in it, but it's annoying that it notifys her every time I add something.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?
We each have an iPhone 4 running iOS6 if it matters.

I have tha same Problem.
I share my calender with my wife and obosolite. Allways when i change a entry in my calender my wife recive a ivation. Also on the Mac Book in ical.
All settings are on Off for sending any change.
the same was ones again wit me.com. the apple made a update and everithing was ok.

How to stop someone from submitting a form multiple times?

My customers order my service by down loading a .pdf form. They then fill out the form and submit the form by my email as a pdf form. How do I stop a customer from submitting the form multiple times. I would like for the customer to submit the form only once filled out. If I need more info I could follow up to their order manually via email. Thanks for your help!
Sorry if a newbie question,
Looking for a way to disable the form after the form is filled out then submitted through their email

One of the main reasons why you have a customer posting multiple submits would be because for some reason he/she doesn't know the first one was successful.
Add a property your form to record whether or not a valid submit has already happened. Use script to set that property on submit. Check each time the submit operation is fired to see if the property is set. If it is display an error dialog and stop the submit from occurring.
If someone wants to open multiple copies of your form and fill it out and send it to you, well there's nothing you can do about that.

How to stop iCloud from trying to install on my PC?

How to stop iCloud from sending meeting requests

I have a situation where an iCloud Calendar has been set up with many meetings with attendees for a business (appointments for a hair salon). We created these "meetings" by dragging people from Contacts into Calendar, thinking this was a good way to have their contact info handy.
I don't want to send people updates or requests or invites or anything - it is confusing everyone and there are some 100 meetings that were set up and if I delete the attendee to just try to turn this into a "local" meeting for strictly my reference, they are getting a message that the meeting has been canceled.
Bah!
Is there a way to just stop sending these messages?
If I just delete the calendar that has all these meetings, will iCloud send out 100 emails telling everyone that those meetings are cancelled?
Thanks for any help here....

How to stop icloud from removing outlook calendar? very frustrated!

Two problems happen when icloud runs in win7 and outlook 2010:
(1) icloud remove all outlook calendar without syncronizing.
(2) icloud does not sent out new invitation events.
I am very frustrated because icloud is supposed to syncronize without changing anything in my outlook. I should say I really hated it because of frustration, and more importantly hours spent on trying to fix it without success.

More frustrated by icloud for the following problems:
(1) there is no safe way to get the calendar back to outlook after icloud removed it.
Backup
(2) icloud can not send invitation from the outlook even after I setup the icloud mail in the outlook because the icloud addin can not be loaded in outlook. Again, many users have this issue, yet unanswered by apple or microsoft for many years.
iCloud was released in Oct 2011, 1 year and 7 months ago.

How to stop iTines from deleting files automatically

I'm running the most recent version of iTunes on a 64 bit Windows 7 box. iTunes deletes all podcasts immediately after a single play. In settings, "use default settings" is unchecked; "Episodes to keep" is set to "All episodes". Anyone got any ideas?

Open the Preferences panel (from the Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver menu on a Mac), and select the Site category. Make sure there's a check mark in the checkbox labelled Dependent Files: Prompt on put/check in.

How to stop firefox from deleting files when history is cleared?

I cleared my History and firefox deleted my downloaded files from internal memory where it was stored,
is there any way to prevent deleting files when clearing history?
Thanks in advance for support

Hello ''Saurabh,
Firefox won't remove Downloaded files from your computer while clearing History. If Browsing & Download History is checked/selected ( '''''Firefox''''' >> '''''History''''' >> '''''Clear Recent History''''', click on the down arrow on the left of Details ) in History, Firefox will clear the file names from '''''Downloads''''' page. But it won't remove files from your computer's Hard Disk. If you want to locate the Firefox Download Directory,
# At the top of the '''''Firefox''''' window, click on the Firefox button and then select '''''Options'''''.
# Select the '''''General '''''panel.
Under Downloads, on the right of '''''Save files to''''' option, you can find the Downloads Directory for Firefox. If you click on the '''''Browse..''''' button, it will take you to that folder/directory and there you can find your downloaded files.
If you don't wish to clear Download History while clearing Firefox History, you can disable it :
'''''Firefox''''' >> '''''History''''' >> '''''Clear Recent History''''', click on the down arrow on the left of Details and uncheck '''''Browsing & Download History'''''.

How to stop server from sharing home directories ?

I have ML Server.
Extra Folders are shared via SMB.
The user folders should NOT be shared.
When i connect from Win7 Client to server via Windows Explorer, everthing is ok.
When i connect from Win7 Client to server via Paragon Backup and Recovery, i get the user folder via SMB.
That is wrong. OSX is supposed to server the shared folder, not the home folder.
What do i wrong ?
Thank you very much for your efforts. Best regards, volker dölling

From iPhoto, go to iPhoto>Preferences>Sharing. Turn off sharing. Or go to System Preferences>Sharing>Firewall. If the iPhoto sharing is on, turn it off.

Is there anyway to stop iCloud from sharing apps and contacts between devices? I have 3 iPhones, ipad2 and a Macbook and now all of the contacts from all 3 phones come up on everyones phones and the iPad. We have one iTunes acct.

I was told I would have to set up 3 separate iTunes accounts, but is that the only way? It has been very frustrating b/c I don't need my husbands or daughters contacts on my phone. And anytime one downloads an app, it pops up on the other devices. I like the intent the cloud, but it is getting frustrating to manage all of my devices individually.
thanks!!

Without separate accounts and IDs, how would you imagine or manage different people?
I assume that they all have their own separate login accounts for Mac OS. They should. But that isn't enough if all the household iTunes are under one ID, they would get mixed into one ID in the database.
Was it though through far enough? probably not. Getting the cloud concept working seems as far as it went with more work to be done to handle devices, IDs, and accounts, and to avoid just this mess and mishmash.
