HT201318 can icloud storage be shared for backups ?

If i have family sharing setup and I am the primary,
can all of the family members share in my iCloud space for iphone backup storage ?
we have four iphones in our family share, but only I have expanded my iCloud storage beyond the free 5GB
Will the other family phones (which are in the family share, but have their own appleIDs) be able to use my
expanded iCloud space for device backups ?

This is not a solution for this issue.
Since it appears to be the most limited in terms of available services, let's use the PlayStation Vita as our specific case.
The PlayStation Vita can only see Google Calendars that have been created by the account to which it is synced. This means that even calendars that are subscribed to using Google Calendar are not visible.
For the PlayStation Vita to see the necessary calendar data, is not even sufficient to simply subscribe to the iCloud calendar feed. This requires a workaround anyhow, because the robots file on iCloud thwarts Google's sync. The calendar data must appear on the specific Google account's calendar under "My Calendars."
In previous versions of iCal, prior to the introduction of direct Exchange sync and the rename to Calendar, there was an option to "sync" with Google Calendar. This was an actual sync in the manner of the changes on the MobileMe calendar being written to Google, and the Google Calendar changes being written to iCal. This was handled by the OS, so the computer managing the sync would have to be connected in order for the sync to happen.
This is exactly what I am looking to replicate. I fear that it is no longer an option, no matter which way you slice it.

    If your Mac Model supports POWERNAP under Mountain Lion, yes backups and software updates can occur while the mac is taking a power nap (kind of light sleep).

  • Can iPhoto books be shared for editing by others with iPhoto?

    Working on a project with a client who would like to handle future edits of their photo book on their own. Can iPhoto books be shared for editing by others with iPhoto?

    How do I share the library and book with them?
    Copy the library to a thumbs drive and give them the thumbs drive.
    The drive needs to be formatted MAcOS Extended (Journaled), with the Ignore Ownership flag enabled.
    See this link:  iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    The clients will need to use the same iPhoto version as you are using.

  • Can Time Capsule be used for Backup of Iphone

    Can Airport Time Capsule be used for Backup of Iphone & ipad

    The iPhone and iPad cannot back up directly to the Time Capsule.....they only back up to iTunes on your Mac or PC....or....to iCloud.
    If you are using Time Machine to backup your Mac to the Time Capsule, then all of the backups of your iOS devices in iTunes will then be backed up to the Time Capsule.
    See this Apple support document for more information on iOS backups.

  • Can I use time machine for backup but also keep my itunes library on my external and not on my MacBook Pro?

    I have two 1TB external drives that I planned on using for backup of my MacBook Pro (Not actually sure how to use them both as duplicate backups but I'l have to figure that out later). What I'm wanting to do is use the external as a backup but I'd also like to keep the majority of my music on the external drive so I can keep the space free on my MacBook. Is this possible?

    Possible, but not advisable.
    You would be using the same drive for backup & normal (live) uses at the same time.  That pretty much negates the whole purpose of backup, at least as far as that single drive would be concerned.
    Better to devote 1 drive to backup (TM or otherwise) and a 2nd drive for online (live) usage.
    One more thing ... you don't really have effective backup until you have at least 2 separate backups on 2 separate drives, neither of which is connected to your Mac except for backup & restore operations.  Three is even better.

  • Can windows Vista use TC for backup

    I have two macs using TC and I also have a windows Vista laptop I would also like to get on time machine for backup. I can get on the drive to store files and get files but I can't get it to show up as a valid drive on the network for my backup software on Vista. Any help would be awsome.

    Follow the advice found here for "mounting by mapping a network drive". Then just point your backup software to the drive letter you mapped the Time Capsule to.

  • Can i change the location for backup in my widows 7 ?

    How can i change the location for the bacup in my windows 7?Thanks.

    First, make sure iTunes isn't running
    Now, move the C:\Users\(yourname)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ folder to your preferred location. My was F:\iTunesMobileSync. This is up to you.
    Finally, start a command prompt as an administrator. You can do this from the Start Menu, type cmd.exe, then right click and select Run As Administrator. From the command prompt, create an junction point as I do below, just change f:\yournewfolder with your new location.One thing to to make sure of, don't end up with a folder like f:\yournewbackupfolder\Backup\Backup, so be sure to check how your folders ended up when you moved them.
    mklink /J "C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "f:\yournewfolder\Backup"
    You should see something like this in Windows 7. Note the little "shortcut" overlay icon? That's saying this is a link.
    You can also confirm it with dir from the command line. Note the <junction>:
    C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync>dir
    Directory of C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <DIR>          .
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <DIR>          ..
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <JUNCTION>     Backup [f:\iTunesMobileSync\Backup]
                   0 File(s)              0 bytes
                   3 Dir(s)  97,594,851,328 bytes free
    If you are still on XP and not Vista or Windows 7, you don't have mklink, but you can use the junction utility in the same way.
    This works.

  • HT201238 Can extra storage be shared with family members on Family Plan?

    no, unless the app has a sharing setting.

  • How can I use Time Capsule for backups and an external hard drive?

    I have a large file/program on my iMacs hard drive that is 62GB and I would like to keep only things I need on my iMac. I have a 2tb time capsule currently used for backing up. It has roughly 1.66 TB free. How can I move the 62GB program onto my Time Capsule and still use it for backups? Also, is this stable? And don't worry about backing the program up because it came on 8DVD discs.
    Thanks.

    1. Mount the Time Capsule as a drive and drag the application over to it. If the application requires system components, those won't be transferred; if those are only data files, you may be able to drag them over as well and then create a symlink or alias to a folder enclosing their current location.
    2. The application may work slowly if this is done. Note that Time Machine will eventually use up all the free space on the Time Capsule that isn't reserved by being allocated to a disk image.

  • How can I use Family Sharing for Store purchases if I use a different Apple ID for purchases?

    A key feature of Apple's iCloud Family Sharing is the ability to share store purchases with invited family members. However, like many people, I use a different Apple ID for iCloud and Store purchases (ironically, primarily for the exact purpose of sharing among family).
    Can I use iCloud Family Sharing to share purchases if I use a different Apple ID for Store (iTunes, App Store, etc.) purchases?

    Sorry, let me clarify. I have two Apple IDs A and B:
    A: Used for iCloud. All my calendar, mail, contacts, and other iCloud features are here. This is the ID I use as "the" iCloud on my iOS devices and OS X machines.
    B: Used only for purchases, on all my devices and machines. This is what I used to log into iTunes, or to buy apps for iOS or OS X.
    The issue is that the only way (currently) to set up Family Sharing is to invite from an iCloud ID (A, in my case) on an iOS 8 device. That's not the ID (B) I use for purchases. The question is whether there's a way to share those purchases given that I'm configured on all my devices with A for iCloud. (Clearly if I somehow send invitations from B, I can share purchases; but that's not the question.)
    It sounds like the answer to that question is 'No'.
    If that's the case, how do I invite from B? Do I have to configure an iOS device with B as the iCloud ID? My problem isn't that I want to ("willy nilly") avoid inviting form B; it's that there seems to be no way (certainly no convenient way) to do that.

  • Can I use Home Sharing for this...

    I have 3 iphones (2 x 6's and 1 x 5), and an ipad, all of which I use one iTunes account. iTunes and Mac software all up to date
    Is it possible to use Home Sharing to sync them all exactly the same or is the a better/smarter way to do this.
    I have tries to sync them separately and it sort of works when it comes to contacts, apps etc but I want my playlist t be the same and can't seem to get that correct.
    Thanks in advance

    maybe you could try Evernote (available in APPSTORE) to keep track of your reminders. You could use built-in contacts to save your customers contact though or if you are not satisfied enough with it, search in appstore for everything you need, there's plenty of 'em.
