Hello there MizzouTrojan,
If I understand correctly you want all 6 devices to have access to a single calendar that each device gets notifications for and can edit. You can do that with an private iCloud shared calendar. First sign into www.icloud.com and use these steps from the following article to share a calendar:
iCloud: Share a calendar with others
Share a calendar privately
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
Note: You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.”
Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only).
For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

While in email today, the computer began flashing. I had to turn off with button. When I turned it back on, I got the apple icon and the moving loading wheel. It would turn for about 60 seconds and then stop. I turned off again. I now have a black screen.

- Seee if resetting the iPod will make it work or make it visiable in iTunes so you can restore it.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next see if placing the iPOd n recovery mode will make it visible in iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

I have an apple tv and the light blinks continuously after an electrical outage. does this mean my apple tv has been permanently damaged or only resetting is necessary?

Hello there, Philip.
For understanding the status light on the Apple TV, the following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information on what they mean:
Apple TV: About the status light - Apple Support

Having issues. Try restarting or waking your Apple TV. If your Apple TV does not start up properly, you might need to reset the Apple TV or restore it to factory settings.

I inserted my new 8gb 4x4 RAM but when i boot up the computer and choose this computer it only says that i have 4gb ram inserted and the computer isn't faster then with 2gb!? please help me! I have a MBP from 2009

I ordered my RAM 8GB from OWC (other world computing) and when i inserted the ram and booted up my computer it says that i only have inserted 4gb ram and the computer isn't faster than it was with 2gb!!! please help me... I've got a MacBook Pro (mid 2009)

Improperly seating memory is the curse of everyone, even experts. No one wants to "break" the memory or the slot by pushing too hard.
So, try again. Push maybe *just a twinge* harder to seat the memory (just a twinge).
As to speed ... memory mainly lets you keep more things active concurrently. Unless you were severely overtaxing your old memory and causing huge "Page Out" counts, only faster HD makes huge speed increases.

I tried to upgrade my IPad with IOS 6 and now I have an Apple icon with a blank downloading bar.

How can I get ITunes to recognize my IPad 2. I starting having issues after trying to upload my IPad with IOS 6. All I have now is the Apple icon and an empty downloading bar.

I've updated and restored my ipod touch. But when i turn it on, it stays frozen on the screen with the apple icon and the loading bar. How do i fix it?

I went to update my ipod touch and it said it may take an hour. so i left it plugged in over night. in the morning the ipod was frozen. it had the apple logo and the loading bar. i reset the ipod and it stays at the same screen. i just restored it, reset it again, and restart my computer, but everytime it turns on it stays on that screen with the logo and loading bar. how do i fix it?

Were all the apps bought under the same Apple ID? For example if a husband and wife share the same computer but have different apple ID's what he buys won't play on her iPad and vice versa. However if they shared the same Apple id for both devices then any compatible apps would transfer and work on both.

Since trying to load latest update on Ipad it only boots to Apple Icon and progress bar seems stuck??

since latest update it tried to run and recieved error. Rebooted and it gets stuck on Apple icon and appears as though the progress bar trying to load but it just hangs there. Can't do anything????
HELP

I went to the Apple store, the salesman held the power button andthe main button down for five seconds or so, and it came back to life. The ironic thing is that I already tried that before going....Anyway, the iPod went into recovery mode, where I had to basically plug it back into iTunes, confirm the new update was downloaded properly, and then I had to wipe it clean in recovery ( or whatever you call it). I put all my music back on it and now it works fine......good luck

I have Win 7 64bit and the computer "not responding" often.

The event logs show that Bonjour is the biggest problem in system failures and the computer Not Responding. Is there a fix for Bonjour or is there a way to run itunes without it?
If itunes is not compatible for windows 7 Does apple have something else to use for media?

Hello AEC396
It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting an errorabout missing drivers. I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

I need OS Lion to make my computer run, but I dont have it in my apple acount, and the computer just ask me for that, how can I install hte software if the only way is using apple id?

I need OS lion, to run my the computer, I made a restore trying to install mountain lion, but the computer doesnt allow me, it ask me for the OS LION, and I dont have it in my apple account, how to I install it? Help!!!!

So it sounds as though you wiped your drive and it can't find the system (OS startup) folder because there is none (folder with ?).
One more question: did your machine come with Lion?? Or did you purchase it at the app store? If it came with the machine, then it would not show in the app store.
You tried recovery and said it "made an internet recovery" - when you booted up with Command + R, did you at first see a spinning globe? If not, there was no internet recovery. Try restarting with Command + Option + R - on older machines, that is internet recovery (if your machine supports it). You should wind up with a screen like this:
Is this what you saw before? You can erase your drive in Disk Utility. When done, you need to click on Reinstall OS X - it will then go to Apple's servers and download the entire OS. Once downloaded (may take a while unless you have a blazing connection), it will install. It should also recreate a new recovery partition.

I forgot my iPad password and now I have a iTunes icon and charger on my initial screen

What does the iTunes icon and charger on initial screen mean

It means you have to connect your iPad to your computer and restore it as a New Device via iTunes. Next time, if you use a passcode, write the number down somewhere as there is no other option.

HT201210 I tried to update my iPod to the latest version and it didn't complete. says it could not be updated and my iPod froze with the apple icon and the progression bar. it won't go away. iTunes doesnt recognize the device.

I tried to update the latest version for the iPod touch and it couldn't complete the install. my iPod screen had the apple icon with the progression bar when it couldn't update and it stuck there. iTunes doesn't recognize my device.
How do I restore, if iTunes doesn't see my iPod?

Plug your device into iTunes. Hold the home & sleep buttons at the same time. After 10 secs release the 2 buttons. iTunes will tell you it's found a device in DFU mode. The iPod screen will stay black. At this point do a restore. If you see the Apple logo you have held them for too long.

My classic has started clicking while freezing and now ita stuck on one screen and the wheel doesnt work

Clicking while freezing for a few seconds now its froze on one screen and wheel wont work

I know it sound silly but please try these steps, part of the 5Rs
Can you toggle the Hold switch and make sure, you can see the Red plastic.
Then Reset your iPod - Press the Menu and Center button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then release the buttons.
Good Luck!
