HT201060 Is there a way to be selective about which photos are automatically uploaded to the Family Sharing photo album?

Family Sharing is set up, and "My Photo Stream" and "iCloud Photo Sharing" features are enabled on all devices.  However, I would like to limit which photos are shared in the Family Sharing photo album.  Here are two scenarios:
I'm shopping for a gift for my daughter at the store, and I see the item I think she'll like.  In Messages I want to snap a photo to send to my wife to get her buy-in (authorization), but when I do this, the photo is also automatically uploaded to the Family Sharing album, and my daughter can see it on her iPod Touch until I delete it from iCloud.
On her iPod Touch, my daughter browses images of kittens and cats, cats and kittens (she's 10), and saves many of them to her camera roll to view later.  In turn, our Family Sharing photo album is full of random pictures of kittens.
Perhaps all I need to do is turn off "My Photo Stream", to prevent all photos being uploaded to all devices automatically?  And in the event I want to share a photo or an event/moment, I can create a Photo Stream on the spot...?

Probably the best solution is to put your daughter on her own iCloud ID (but under your name since she's under-aged).  She can continue to use your ID for iTunes store purchases. If you set her up with a separate iCloud ID, then her photo activity and yours will remain separate.
The Family Sharing feature may not be relevant or helpful in this scenario -- as I understand it, Family Sharing is for the sharing of purchases, not iCloud, and only in situations when family members have separate IDs for purchases but want to also share the purchases from a "central ID" (e.g. Parent's ID)

  • Is there a way to be selective about sharing?

    Is there a way to be selective about specific home sharing content? In iTunes, Home Sharing offers the ability to share the entire library, or check boxes for Music, Movies, Home Videos, Audio Books, etc. All I want to do is limit access to Home Videos. When I uncheck it, the content is still shared to the house. I thought using the media kind "Home Videos" category, I could separate videos I don't want the entire house to see. Seems this simple function doesn't work?

    Thanks Winston. No doubt you correct. But that makes no sense. What is the difference really? The idea is to control what content is sharable to others and other devices. The heart of sharing is the iTunes Library. The question becomes, would their be any reason why my sharing choices with regards to content would be different between sharing and home sharing, and I would suggest not. You would either want to share the entire library, or be selective correct? Hang in there with me on this please.

  • Is there a way you can select a display option for Safari pages on the OS5?

    The tabbed version of Safari for the ipad2 is nice but the old one is better. Is there a way we can select a display option that lets a user toggle between the two?

    No, Safari on the iPad in iOS 5 uses tabbed browsing. You can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • How does one do updates when your service provider is s-l-o-w??                     According to the counter, our computer needs almost 20 hrs. of updates, is there a way to pick and choose which ones are downloaded?

    We have a "Rocket Hub" and our download times vary greatly.  My husband's computer, Snow Leopard OS, shows he has about 20 hrs. of updates to download.  Is there a way to pick and choose so we can catch up?

    Nope, because files sizes, machines, software installed are different and you can't control what needs to be installed first before others work.
    Apple is all Internet, you should see Lion users, they can't reinstall their OS at all without a Internet connection. (or pay $69 for the Lion USB key) and then there still the updates to deal with.
    So take a ride, to a Apple Store early in the morning before their network gets overloaded (what a way to get you in the door and buy more junk uh?) fully update to 10.6.8.
    Good thing about Snow Leopard, not much more in large updates coming for that verision, in fact they will stop completely come next spring or so when 10.8 is released.
    Unless you live in a wealthy area with broadband, your a nobody in Apple's viewpoint.
    You could get a 3G laptop connect card, hopefully that will give you enough to download your updates but they cost a fortune.
    If I could just provide you with update disk I would, but I can't, machines are different.
    Call Apple and ask for a update disk, perhaps they have a solution
    Once you do get all your updates, Carbon Copy Clone your boot drive to a external drive, it's hold the option key bootable duplicate.
    Donationware too.

  • Is there a way (config setting/etc) to stop FF from automatically scrolling to the last "remembered" position on the page while navigating back?

    I realize this is supposed to be a "feature" but I find it really annoying. Say I view forum topics, click one way down at the bottom. Navigate back, page loads (always takes FF forever these days), so after things begin to populate I scroll down to where I want to go/was/whatever. When after long while FF is finally done loading the page, it auto-scrolls my screen up or down. Aaaaarrrrrrgh! If there is a config value to have it not do that on back (and better yet also reload) it would save me a whole lotta daily aggravation.

    No, say I just downloaded the new Spoon album and want to listen to it while I'm looking around in the main music list at other stuff.
    I'd drag the new Spoon tracks into my static playlist named "Now Playing"
    By static I mean, not a smart playlist.
    I could just as well decide to listen to a Genius mix or itunes DJ, or even a smart playlist such as genre=jazz.
    Any playlist but the main Music playlist, so I won't have to deal with that annoying jumping around while I'm working with other tracks.

  • Is there a way to shift select multiple objects in layer palette, not just highlight multiple object

    Hi,
    Is there a way to shift select multiple objects in layer palette, not just highlight multiple objects?
    I would want to do this when I have a bunch of objects hidden under some other objects on the artboard. This feature is available in PSD, so I assume Illustrator should have it.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply, Harron.
    I'm using CS4 & below.
    Highlighting object - click on object in layers palette & it turns blue
    Select object - click on object in layers palette to the right of the circle, which creates a square, and selects the object on the artboard
    How do I shift-select multiple objects in the layers palette...select 50 objects with a click, then a shift-click? Shift-select works for highlighting, but not selecting. On most programs shift-select is used to grab a bunch of stuff...:0)
    In the past I have inadvertently selected multiple objects in the layers palette, by somehow alt?-dragging over the layers...or something...I can't re-create it.

  • Is there a way to fix particular percent of slice area to each level value

    Is there a way to fix particular percent of slice area to each level value in a flash pie Chart?
    I need a pie chart for Distribution of Escalations by Status; here I have following status Record in my table
    5 record for Status: Reopen
    2 record for Status: Escalated
    2015 record for Status: Closed
    12 record for Status: Open
    1000 record for Status: WIP
    So I am not able to see data in pie chart for Status Reopen, Escalated, and Open, bcz all levels are overlapping each other
    So I want to fix particular percent of slice area to each level value(Reopen, Escalated, Closed , WIP and Open)
    For e.g. I want to show 15% slice area of chart for Escalated, 10% for Reopen, 20% for Open
    25% for WIP and 30% for Closed. So i can see record for all status while that have less data as compare to other
    status.
    I am using following query for pie Chart….
    SELECT
    ''javascript:dhtml_GetReport_r2(0,0,0,0,0,''''''||''''||STATUS||''''||'''''',0)'' link,
    nvl(STATUS,''Unknown'') label,
    COUNT(ISSUE_ID) Escalations
    FROM XYZ_ITR_MAIN
    WHERE 1=1 GROUP BY STATUS;
    Thanks

    Your requirement makes sense from the point of visibility but doesn't make sense having the facts in mind that 2 out of 3034 is always 0,000659195% no matter how you look at it. And a pie chart is always going to give you exactly that. The only thing you can do is to manipulate your data but then what a user will see is not going to match with the reality. So, the only solution I see is to make a bigger chart. Exploding a pie chart is also an alternative but I don't think you can do that currently with the flash charts.

  • I would like to read a text file in which the decimal numbers are using dots instead of commas. Is there a way of converting this in labVIEW, or how can I get the program to enterpret the figures in the correct way?

    The program doest enterpret my figures from the text file in the correct way since the numbers contain dots instead of commas. Is there a way to fix this in labVIEW, or do I have to change the files before reading them in the program? Thanks beforehend!

    You must go in the labview option menu, you can select 'use the local
    separator' in the front side submenu (LV6i).
    If you use the "From Exponential/Fract/Eng" vi, you are able to select this
    opton (with a boolean) without changing the labview parameters.

  • I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?

    Hello everyone
    I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. I've tried to repair it using DU, but it said I needed to backup all my data and reinstall the OS. How do I backup my data to an external drive?
    And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?
    Hope you guys can help me!

    You need to back up 2 folders, Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects which by default are located on your Movies Folder. You can always check by clicking on a clip inside Fianl Cut X and selecting Show in Finder in the contextual menu for the selected clip.

  • I have a new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.2 and cannot get Contacts to print a list of addresses with pictures showing.  There is a check box selecting "picture" which has been checked - but no picture.  This worked fine on OS10.7.5.  Problem??

    I have a new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.2 and cannot get Contacts to print a list of addresses with pictures showing.  There is a check box selecting "picture" which has been checked - but no picture.  This worked fine on OS10.7.5.  Problem??

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • My iPad got stolen and it is offline on find iPhone, is there a way I can locate it get it back or even get the serial number of it

    My iPad got stolen and it is offline on find iPhone, is there a way I can locate it get it back or even get the serial number of it? I'm really mad and sad about that.

    The only to potentially find is if you can do so via Find My iPhone - which will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If you haven't already done so then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc, and if it's a cellular model then contact your carrier.
    In terms of the serial number, if you have a backup of the iPad on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to go into Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences if on a Mac), select the Devices tab on that, and then hover your mouse pointer of the iPad's backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061
    If the iPad was registered to your iTunes account you might also be able to get it from your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
