We have just moved from MobileMe, where we had a 'Family account' (and we each have our own @me.com email addresses) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have an iPad and an iPhone, but with different accounts set up for mail. Mine syncs OK to Cal and Contacts, but hers doesn't. There must be a way! Please help.

According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account."  You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

  • HT1349 I have just moved from one pc to another.  I had used 5 computers to attach to itunes.  I went in and disabled all 5 of my accounts but cant get the new computer to give me a prompt to authorize this computer.  Any ideas?

    Hellow everyone,
    I have just moved from one PC to another.  They are windows pc's not macintosh.  When i installed itunes on the new computer it stated that I already had 5 devices authrorized for this account.  I did a little reading and went in and deathorized all 5 PC from the account as I am sure it was a couple pcs ago and a few iphones.   When I try and go in and authorize an account I cant see anywhere where there is a prompt to authorize the new PC.  I go into store and all it says is that there are no devices associated to this account.  What I would like to do is associate my new PC and my iphone to this account and hopefully restore from the cloud all of my music and programs. 
    Any idea what I am doing wrong here or how I can resolve this. Thanks in advance.
    Respectully.

    if it's music then drm is not used there any more and drm can be removed from previously bought drm material without cost

  • I have just moved from using Windows all my life to Mac OS Lion. My accounting software "Tally" does not run on it. Please help !

    I have just moved from using Windows all my life to buying a Mac Book Pro running on OS Lion. But my accounting softwares Tally 7.2 and Tally 9 do not run on it.
    I just learnt that the software platform of Tally Accounting softwares are specific to Windows only.
    I need to run the accounting software, Mail and several spread sheets and documents at the same time.
    Is there some way I can do this on the Mac Lion OS?
    Help solicited !

    Yes, you can share files across a network as long as the network server is setup so your Mac can connect to it. See Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect to shared computers and file servers on a network, Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect your Mac directly to a Windows computer, Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect to a Mac from a Windows computer, and Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect to shared computers and servers using a network address.

  • HT5569 i can connect to internet and e mail via wi fi , however not out with these. I have just moved from i phone 3 to 4s is it the settings?

    i can connect to internet and e mail via wi fi , however not out with these. I have just moved from i phone 3 to 4s is it the settings?

    Let me see if I understand correctly, you can access the Internet and email when on wifi, however when not on wifi, none of this works? Is this correct? If so, do you have a data plan with your carrier? Do you have cellular data turned on in Settings? When you look at your carrier in the upper left corner, do you see a signal, carrier name, and then 3G, 4G or LTE displayed? Have you contacted your carrier about this?

  • We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Macs -problem!

    We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Mac Network!!!
    Problem:
    Now, when we create files from our personal computers, no one else can write them. We can all read these files, but when we make changes we have to save a version! This wasn't happening on the Windows server, so I can only guess that it's a setting on the Mac? (G4 Laptop running 10.4.5)
    Can anyone help me figure out what setting needs to be changed?
    Thank you very much in advance!
    -Alex

    This is normal behavior, and is a result of the POSIX umask. Newly created files have their POSIX permissions (owner, group, and everyone fields) set such that only the owner can read and write.
    The best way to solve this problem is to use an ACL entry to define desired permissions for a folder, specifying inheritance (e.g., permissions apply to this folder and any newly-created files or folders inside of that).
    Please see my ACL Tips version 2 link for more information, including a more detailed explanation of POSIX and ACL permissions and how they work together: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1732788

  • I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:

    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

  • I never had an APPLE ID with this email address and I have no idea why this is this showing to me?

    Every time I restore my iPhone from iCloud Backup, this apple id SHOWS UP  and asking password. But I never had an APPLE ID with this email address and I have no idea why this is this showing to me? Could anyone help me to remove it from my Applr ID as it seems somehow its linked to my iCloud Backup. Thank you.

    Hi Ralph,
    I have received the iPhone 5s from my carrier EE UK. I never had a second hand device as all my previous iPhones received from my carrier. Every time I restore from iCloud backup, first I enter my Apple ID and Password, then it authenticates and goes through next process and updates iCloud settings, right after initial settings then it displayes enter your password where the Apple ID is the metntioned Apple ID and in the bottom it says "Skip this to go next process" or something. I have to press that everytime to skip it, then restore my backup from iCloud and then when I'm in iPhone home it asks me for the password of that mentoned email. So everytime I change the email address to my Apple ID then enter my password that activates my iCloud services and start downloading all the apps I installed.
    Its really weird to be honest and I don't know how to remove that email address from that process and seems its there.
    N.B. When I had iPhone 4s, Apple Store did replace my iPhone 4s with a new one due to the faulty WiFi.

  • How to create another email address for my Wife?

    I might be over thinking this but how do I create another email address for my wife? I can't find where to do that? I found the alias email but not just a regular email. Please help someone:)
    Thanks so much,
    Scott

    Hello Scott.
    If this is in reference to creating a .Mac email only account for your wife, you don't so this via the Mail program. This is done via webmail access for your .Mac account preferences.
    An .Mac account alias is free but an alias address cannot be accessed as a separate account because an alias isn't an account.
    A .Mac email only account cost $10 per year and can be accessed as separate account.

  • HT2731 My daughters iPad has just been factory restored from the apple shop, she was on my iTunes account with her email address but now she is the correct age for her own account. We have started up the iPad and with trying to create her own with her own

    My daughters iPad has just been factory restored from the apple shop, she was using my iTunes account with her email. When trying to create her own iTunes as she is the correct age it has come up that her email is already being used. How do we  do this with he same email address

    Hello spooner68,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to create an Apple ID for your daughter.  Because her email address is associated with your Apple ID, you are receiving the message that the email address is in use. 
    To remedy this, you will have to first remove her email address from your account using steps 1-3 of the section titled "How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID" in the article below and then attempt to create her Apple ID with her email address:
    How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID
    If you have an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID, you may need to remove it from your other Apple ID before you can add it to your preferred Apple ID.
    Sign in to My Apple ID with the Apple ID that has the email address already associated with it.
    Find the email address that you want to move to your preferred Apple ID, then click Delete.
    Click Save Changes, then click Sign Out at the top of the page.

  • I have been using my .mac email address for many years without a problem.  Suddenly over the last few days the emails have been coming in sporadically.  I know this becasue all the emails are coming in on my phone and on the laptop, not on iMac.

    I have been using my .mac email address for many years without any problem.  Suddenly the emails are coming in sporadically or not at all.  I know this because they are all coming in on my phone and laptop.  My gmail account seems unaffected with emails coming in fine.   Any ideas?  Thanks

  • HT4597 how do I know whether I have successfully moved from MobileMe to iCloud?

    I followed directions for moving from mobile me to icloud, but can't figure out a way to verify that the move is complete.  Does anyone know how to verify this?
    Thank you.

    Check whether your mail is visible at http://me.com or at http://icloud.com . If the former, you haven't migrated successfully and should go to http://me.com/move and follow the instructions, logging in with your @me.com address (not your iTunes ID if this is different).
    If your mail appears at http://icloud.com you have migrated and need to sign in and enable Mail in System Preferences>iCloud (Lion 10.7.2 required).

  • HT2731 I had to set up a new email address for my ipad, but the old one is still coming up when i have to update my apps, how do i reset to the new email address?

    I recently had to reset my apple id to a new email address, but when i try to update my apps, the old one is still showing up, how do i change it?

    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased and will always need to be updated using that account.

  • My husband and I share an email address. He now wishes to have an itunes ie Apple account, but it won't let him as there is already an account with that email address- yes, of course, it's ME. How can we resolve this?

    My husband and I share an email address. he now has a new phone which requires a link with itunes; he'd also like an itunes account. However, when he tries to set up an account, he repeatedly gets told the user name  - ie our email address, is already taken. And then his attempt fails. SO surely two people with the same email address can have seperate apple accounts?
