HT204284 Does a single iCloud account get shared across all Apple IDs that are joined in Family Sharing?

I have an iCloud account on my AppleID and I have family sharing activated that links me with my wife's AppleID over all our devices.
I Am signed into my AppleID on my devices (iMac and iPhone) and my wife is signed into her AppleID on her devices (iPad and iPhone). I thought that family sharing would have allowed us to share an iCloud account so that we can share our photo album that is stored there. My wife's devices are not giving her access to the iCloud account on my AppleID though.
Any clues?

Greetings pbick,
I am sorry I did not make myself better understood. The article itself states that.
Mac with OS X Yosemite
Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Manage Family and click the Add button (+).
Select "Create an Apple ID for a child who doesn't have an account" and click Continue.
Enter your child's birthday and click Next. The birthday for a child's account can't be changed after the account is created. Be sure to enter the correct date.

  • Can multiple Apple IDs that are linked with Family Sharing all share one "family" iCloud photo library?

    We have a family library of thousands of photos. Currently, we are using iPhoto to manage all of these photos, which  We each have our own apple ID, and each take pictures on our own devices, and have just been manually importing them all into the same library. With the new iCloud photo library, will it be possible to set up family sharing and all share and contribute to a "family" photo library?

    Create Apple IDs for everyone individually and use that in Settings > Facetime, Settings > Messages, Settings > Game Center but keep the Apple ID used for app and content purchases in Settings > iTunes and App Stores

  • HT4759 My icloud account is link to old apple id that i don't know password for and when i try to delete icould on my iphone it is asking me for a password instead of just deleting what can i do to  get my icloud accout updated with my current apple id?

    MY ICLOUD ACCOUT IS LINK TO OLD APPLE ID WHICH I DON'T KNOW PASSWORD.  WHEN I GOT TO SETTINGS TO DELETE ICLOUD TO CREATE WITH MY CURRENT IT ASK ME FOR A PASSWORD ASSOCIATED WITH THE OLD APPLE ID INSTEAD OF DELETING THE ACCOUNT.  HOW DO I DELETE THE ICLOUD ACCOUT WITH INPUTTING A PASSWORD TO TURN OFF FIND IPHONE?

    Go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT4436 is there a way to change the apple ID on an Icloud account? I used to share everything with my daughter but she's old enough we need to separate the accounts.. I would like to "give" the ICloud account to her, because all of her games are on it.

    Is there a way to change the apple ID on an Icloud account? I would like to "give" an ICloud account to my daughter. We used to share one, but she's getting older I would like to split our accounts. She has her own Apple ID but since all her games are on this ICloud account, I would like to give it to her and start my own.

    You can migrate your device and a copy of the iCloud data to a new account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your daughter's device won't be effected by this), choose Keep on My iPad and provide the password when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once you are on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
    The existing iCloud email account cannot be moved to your new account so you will need to give your contacts your new email address if you are giving the account to your daughter.

  • TS4083 Is there a way to have my Icloud delete my emails on all apple devices that use I cloud? If I delete them on my Iphone, they do not delete on my Ipad and vice versa

    I cant figure out how to set up Icloud to delete my emails on all my apple devices that use icloud. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I frequently have emails that I delete on my mac but are not deleted from the iPhone/iPad (this is for an iCloud account,  @mac.com).  In time they eventually delete, but it can take time.  I usuall delete them from the devices as well.

  • If I press "Erase all contents and settings" does the iCloud account get removed from the iPhone?

    If I press "Erase all contents and settings" does the iCloud account get removed from the iPhone?
    I also do not know the password to the iCloud account and when I go to the "Forgotten Password" link, it says that account is not found.

    Yes, but you will not be able to erase it without the password if Find My iPhone is turned on.  If you need to reset your iCloud password, read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.  Of course, you can't reset the password unless it is your iCloud ID.

  • HT204053 I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized. Any suggestions?

    I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized on the appleid website, so my password for my old apple id won't work.
    Any suggestions?

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • Does my Domain user account get cached so I can Logon of the network?

    Does my Domain user account get cached so I can Logon of the network?
    Thanks your help.
    Lou

    In windows or in os x? In windows if it's a windows network for domain profile is usually auto-cached. In OS X this has to be enabled in directory utility as part of your Active Directory settings, otherwise it won't allow logon off network.

  • When i try to log in to my iCloud account on my iMac it tells me that i'm already signed in to my internet account, to delete it from there and sign again. how do i do that?

    Internet Explorer does not exist for the iPad. Obviously Safari will not work. There are other browsers available that can identify as Internet Explorer and one of those might work for you. However, there is really no way to know unless you try one of those browsers.
    iCab Mobile and Atomic will identify as IE, so you could try one of those.

  • Two iCloud accounts one with my iTunes Apple ID & other with @me account

    I have a duplicate contacts in my Address Book and iCal after creating iCloud account, while searching for solutions I found that I have two accounts for iCloud in Address Book> prefrances> accounts and also in system preferences> Mail, Contacts & Calenders ...
    The 1st account is for my Apple ID before I got iCloud ( [email protected] )
    The 2nd account is my new iCloud email ( [email protected] )
    I think that is the problem that cause the duplicate in my Address Book and in my iCal, What do you think? and How could I avoid the duplicate of my contacts?, Is there any way to merge the both accounts Apple ID and @me.com ?
    Please Help
    Note that: I already got two devices, my MacBook 13-inch, Late 2008 with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 and my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 and i dont have a duplicate problem on my iOS device (iPhone 4) ..

    Looks like you're not getting a lot of response to this. Too bad, I wish I could help.
    I too, have a new duplicate ID and now my phone uses the icloud "itunes" id to purchase apps while the rest of my family is still using the old itunes id/password.
    I don't have duplicates in address or ical though. Probably because I'm still in MobileMe and use that for syncing those. I am afraid to migrate all the way to the cloud. Everything is getting much more complex instead of easier for me.
    This morning my iphone said my icloud account is full and I have to buy more to back up my phone, which used to be free. What is that all about? I remember reading that I would probably not need to purchase more, at least for a while. I have done nothing but follow the instructions on various screens. 2 weeks and I'm out of space.
    For me, the icloud has done the opposite of what was promised. Complexity and expense. I'm very dissapointed and confused.

  • Hello guys! i just wanted to asked to anyone of you if you'll receive a notification when your icloud account was removed into your apple device? my iphone 4 Ios7 was stole 3 days before.. please help thank you!

    1.  you may have to take it in to Apple and get an out of warranty iphone for $199.
    2.  you can get your information from a backup of your phone.  you do have a backup of your phone right either in iTunes or icloud.  If you don't then your answer will be no.

  • I had to manually download the new version of itunes.. via tools, it gave me 4 items to download and i did not download all 4 compenants.  Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that contains tools so i can redownlaod all of them.

    I lost my old iphone and have a new 5s.. i need to sync to itunes.  i had to donwload manually via tools but i didnt download all four files.  now when i plug my phone into itunes it says there is an error bc i didnt download all the files.  so when i go into itunes now and check for updates it says its up to date.  the problem is with the phone support file i didnt download. 
    Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that has the music player update and itunes update bc this is the only place i have seen "tools" to be able to manually update all four files....
    ***IF i completely uninstall itunes and reinstall will it still have all my songs, photos, apps etc... bc i need to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back

    this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
    i have done this twice in two other posts..
    here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
    the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
    so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
    so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
    so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...
