ICloud "Family Sharing" loses shared Notes and iDrive.  Any way to use this without losing shared features besides Apps?

We used to share a single App Store ID so we could see all our family devices, share iDrive space for backups, share App and music purchases, and share notes and reminders.  We had separate IDs for iMessage.  Now with "Family Share" we can do some of that but we lose shared reminders, notes and iDrive space.  Why can't the iDrive space be family based?  We also need shared spaces for notes, reminders, and such.  I feel we are being forced to move to "Family Share" with the new features where you can move work from device to device and that would not work well with multiple people using the same account.

If you previously had the same iCloud account on all devices and now have different ones on each you might just need to share the calendars, notes and reminders with the other family members iCloud accounts.
If everyone had been using [email protected] and now they have started using [email protected] and [email protected] you could add the [email protected] account on each device and only turn on Notes and Reminders.

    Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
    SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
    '''''Address Bar Search'''''
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
    Does that work?
    '''''Search Box'''''
    Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
    Do either of those work?
    There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

    I changed my passcode, and then forgot it. Is there any way to fix this without restoring it?

    Your options are to remember the passcode or restore it
    On the plus side if you used iCloud or synced with iTunes theres a good chance you will get most of your data back after restoring

    Hi, I'm new at this but I am hoping someone can help me.I have recently been away for 5 weeks and my Tom Tom required updating.When I clicked to update it, it required a pc. As I didn't have access to a pc it wouldn't work is there any way to do this without a pc?  I was without this app for 3 weeks!  Thanks, Lea

    The process to update your Tom Tom is a big data file, you will need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network for it to download.  If will take about an hour.

  • When i open iPhoto it says my photo library is unreadable and will not open. How can i fix this without losing my photos?

    "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable... Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup."
    How do i solve this problem? Dpes rebuilding your photo library delete all your photos? I have thousands of photos with no back up HELP!!

    Well if you have no back up you need to make a back up now. It might be too late, but you're not going to know until you fix this.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
    Then try:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account both on my itunes and iphone. how do I do this without completely wiping the phone?

    I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account on both my itunes and iphone. How do I do this without completely wiping the phone.
    Also I tried to update to iOS6 and it is asking for my password under my old signin and locked me out of my phone.
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    This explains how to change your ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621.  After changing your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud, delete the existing account (which only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud), then sign back in with the new ID.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the existing account.
    If you are signed into your account on your Mac, you will need to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

  • Software Update 7.0.1 says my Kaspersky URL adviser and keyboard will not work? Any way to avoid this?

    I get prompted to do a software update, when I start it I get a message saying my Kaspersky add on will not work and be disabled until they are compatible. The URL adviser and keyboard. Is there a way around this? I don't want anything that affects my anti virus.

    First off, updating Firefox won't affect the anti-virus part of Kaspersky, only a couple Kaspersky add-ons for Firefox. Second, check with Kaspersky to find out if or when they're going to have compatible Firefox extensions ready for Firefox 7.

  • Did a restore on new computer but keytags did not come over. any way to resolve this?

    did a backup then a restore, windows 7 to windows 8.1 but non of the keytags got posted to the pictures. they did come over as tags but all were empty. any solution?

    Please describe in more details what you did. The usual and recommended way to backup and restore is the built-in method of the Organizer:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
    Was that what you did?
    Your keywords (tags) are by stored by default in the catalog. You can also 'Write metadata to files' if you wish, but an Organizer restore does restore the tags of the files in the restored catalog; that is only necessary if you re-import the pictures in a new catalog or if you use another backup software.
    they did come over as tags but all were empty. any solution?
    Do you mean you got the hierarchy of categories and tags restored in the keyword panel, but that none of those keywords were assigned to pictures?

  • I have a new computer and want to sync my phone and all it's apps to my new computer. How do I do this without loosing all of my apps?

    I
    I have had a total meltdown of my system and have had to rebuild my computer because of a lightning strike which took out my main computer and my backup system therefore I do not have a way to restore all of my old files. When I rebuilt my computer I decided to go with Windows 7 rather than staying with Windows Vista when I attach my Apple iPhone to the new computer and tried to sync it, it tells me that it wants to wipe out everything on my phone. My iPhone was backed up to the cloud but I do not see way to restore it from the cloud and I do not want to lose all of my apps and data that are on my iPhone. I have gone to the Apple online store to see if I could restore the apps that I have purchased from their and have not been able to find anything that relates to reinstalling all the apps that I have purchased as well as my bookmarks and addresses as well as a lot of the data in documents to go and do not want to lose them as it is the only place that I have them left. How do I do this without losing all of my apps and data that is on my iPhone?
    Please help out of this nightmare and keep me loyal to iPhone.
    This has become an all day and night ordeal.
