ICloud for a family account does not work

We could not use iCloud for our family for multiple computers and devices with one [email protected] The details..
These are our devices -
Two iPhone 4's (me and my wife)
One iPhone 3G (my daughter)
MacBook Pro
MacPro
Mac Mini
iPad2
We want to use one [email protected] account for iTunes
To use iCloud on all my iPhones with one [email protected] account, all our contacts, calendars, photos will be downloaded to all devices. The problems are - Why would my calendar, contacts and emails show up on my wife's and daughters iPhones
The reason to use one [email protected] account for all computers, iPhones and iPads are - any iTunes purchases need to be available for the entire family to enjoy. If we used different @mac.com accounts, we will have to purchase the same song or iBook multiple times. This defeats the main reason for iCloud.
I am shocked that Apple did not envision this problem with one family account. If they do have a solution, I could not find it. I called technical support as well as go to the local genius bar. They all suggested getting different @mac.com accounts for each iPhone device. This is counterproductive and defeats the purpose of one ecosystem that Steve Jobs always preached.
Any suggestions..

You can use one Apple ID in itunes for all your purchases.
You can also use different IDs in iCloud so that each ID keeps whatever devices are registered to that ID are kept in sync. If you don't want you wife's and your calendars to be identical, then you need different IDs. Again, you can all keep the same Apple ID for your iTunes purchases.

Hi, I came across the same problem and was not able to open any iCloud folders on Outlook, and iCloud was continusly asking to repair the iCloud Control Panel. Got the issue fixed by following the steps on the link http://somanytips.com/fix-icloud-error-repair-the-icloud-control-panel-to-use-ic loud-with-outlook/

Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!!

ICloud sync with MacBook Pro does not work

I've installed iOS 5, updated Lion to 10.7.2, marked Calendar and Contacts sync in System settings for iCloud on my Mac. However iCal and Address Book sync between iCloud and Mac (MacBook Pro) does not work though there is no problem in syncing between iCloud and iPhone. Whether I create new event or contact, change existing one or delete existing one in iCloud this change is not reflected on my Mac and vise versa. I could not find a solution in this site or in forums.

Yep, worked for me, too and now contacts and calendar seem to be syncing perfectly. We'll see if it lasts.
Thanks for your answer.

I've become increasingly frustrated with the ipad adobe app. I've subscribed to be able to convert my pdf files into word documents and it has yet to work I've paid for a service that does not work which in turn makes me a disgruntled customer to say the least very disappointed with such horrible service

Which service did you subscribe to? Adobe PDF Pack?
Once I know the service that you subscribed to, I can move this post to the right forum so that you can get in touch with the folks who can assist you.

Wow, that's an interesting one - seems as though the sharedCursorPane has
some hard requirement that the base App be mx (this isn't terribly
surprising, considering it was built with the mx components, but it's still
a bug). Can you link against the source code (provided for player 10 now!),
and change that line in sharedCursorPane :
From :
Application(mx.core.Application.application).stage.removeEventListener(Mouse
Event.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
To :
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
and see if that works for you? I can't honestly tell why we're using the
line that was there... It's possible this was a workaround for another
issue. Anyhow, if you wouldn't mind being the guinea pig for this one, we
can get to the bottom of it.
thanks!

I have seral email accounts on my Mac. One does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

Windows 8.1 Standard with Microsoft Account does not work with WSE 2012

I have a WSE 2012 machine with 3 users & 3 devices setup.
My Windows 8 (Standard) Laptop with Local User connects fine.
My Windows 8.1 (Standard) Nettop with Local User connects fine.
But my Windows 8.1 (Standard) Laptop with a Microsoft Account does not automatically login to the Server. It worked fine when it was running Windows 8 with a Local User but unfortunately in 8.1, MS decided to force a Microsoft Account login on us if I want
to continue to use Sky Drive! That would be fine, but now it wont login to their own server product...
I've tried adding a Windows Credential (set at Enterprise level) to the Credentials manager but it just gets forgotten on reboot.
If I log into the LaunchPad (which creates a temporary credential) then it works fine HOWEVER the "remember me" tick box is being ignored and the next time I restart the PC the LaunchPad is signed out again!
I've re-installed the connector.
I've removed the PC from WSE, un-installed the connector and then re-joined. (Done this twice, once as a local user and then converted to MS Account, and once as an MS Account.)
Basically, I just don't think WSE2012 with non-Pro versions of 8.1 on a MS Account have been tested and MS need to either fix it or document it. If someone could just get the LaunchPad to remember my local login and automatically start on next reboot then
it wouldn't be a problem. OR stop launch pad from deleting the manual credentials I added everytime I reboot. At the moment it's the worst of both worlds.
Any ideas?

Hi Susan,
Thanks very much for replying, but if you re-read my post you'll see that I already know how to do that and also that I don't want to change back to a local account because I need Skydrive access.
Essentially as it stands, I can use Windows 8.1 with WSE but lose SkyDrive (and any other MS Account benefits) or I can use an MS Account with Windows 8.1 but lose permanent access to my server shares and client backups...
Reading around it seems that it's perfectly possible to have an MS Account and then do one of the following:
Use a Windows Credential stored for the local user to give access to the Server.
Set the LaunchPad to automatically log in at start-up.
If on a Domain, go into settings and Link the MS Account to your Domain Account.
Unfortunately none of these options are working for me (3 isn't even possible with 8.1 Std).

Family Locator Does not work

After about two day of getting reports the service stops and the only way I get it to start again is to log in to the website and locate my family member then I get all the old location report to me at once via text. Then it works for a couple more day and stops. Has been doing this for at least a month. Not the phone change phones same thing . . Removed the client and reinstalled same thing . . . This service is a joke!

We just got a phone for our daughter and added the family locator to it (she has the Intensity 2). This software, I have to say, is a joke. We both have Droid X's and the best that we can get is a target range of anywhere between 2 and 5.6 miles. Umm, considering most of her locations are with a half mile of our house, how does this gigantic target range do anything for us? I also sent up some Updates, like sending us a text whenever she gets to school or leaves it. Drove her to school today and have still not recieved any texts letting me know that she arrived...
Inside or outside, this service does not work. Even better, the only app that Verizon endores for this feature doesn't even work on most phones. Add it to our Droids, pick it, welcome screen comes on, pick 'OK' and it kicks out. Every time. Over and over. Finally downloaded family locator (V) app from somewhere else but it still behaves just like the family locator website - "your phone has been found in an 5.6 mile radius of such-and-such address" ! Brilliant. Glad we haven't lost her yet..........
I would like to cancel this service, but apparently Verizon does not want you to have an easy way to do this. There is no location anywhere on the website where you can disable this (worthless) feature. I guess I need to, yet again, call customer service.
