If I use the cloud, can my husband and I still maintain our separate calendars and contacts or is everything merged?

If my husband and I use the cloud, can we each still maintain our separate calanders and contacts?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. You can both use the same ID for the store login and share your music etc., and use different ID's to log in to iCloud, thereby keeping your calendars etc separate.

  • I have used a Seagate external hard drive for my Mac desktop. It is malfunctioning. Can I disconnect and depend on iCloud to keep my documents, music, and photos backed up safe and secure? I use the Cloud for phone, pad and desktop.

    Can I expect iCloud to safely back up and secure my documents, music and pictures? I am using Cloud on phone, pad, and desktop. Have depended on external hard drive in the past. It is malfunctioning. Will the Cloud replace it for storage and safety?

    Time Machine in itself, without an external drive may well be good for instances where you accidentally delete documents that you later require. However in the event of a hard drive failure, if Time Machine backup is kept on the same drive as the original items, it will not be much use to you.
    In my opinion, it is vitally important that you have an external drive for backup, whether you use Time Machine or a another backup solution is entirely up to you.
    My situation is slightly unusual, I have four hard drives in my computer and multiple arrays of hard drive enclosures with multiple hard drives within them (in total I have 40 TB of storage). As a result of this I tend to employ more than one backup procedure, I use Time Machine to backup some items and a utility called tri-backup to backup other items. I also keep two backups of everything.
    Time Machine is free, it's included with your operating system, I wonder if you mean time capsule.

  • I have Mac osX 10.6.8 2.16 1gb 667 mmz ddrs2 sdram.  what do I need to do to use the cloud on this machine, and can I upgrade my os

    I have an iMac, osx, 10.6.8/ 2.16/ 1gb/ 667 mmz ...I want to use the icloud on this machine, what will I need to do if it is possible?

    Is your machine a Core2Duo? Check these requirements carefully:
    System requirements for OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
    backups are always a great idea.
    When you are ready to buy the upgrade, you need to CALL the Apple online store and ask for 10.7. They will sell you a download code that can be redeemed in the Mac App Store. (the 10.7 software is "put away" so that users do not buy it in error).
    In leaving 10.6, you shed any programs that require Rosetta emulation. These are my top six:
    Photoshop/CS2
    Word and Office 2004 and older
    Eudora 6
    FileMaker Pro 6
    AppleWorks 6
    Quicken 2007 (but a US$15 upgrade is available that allows you to carry on)

  • HT1444 My IMAC desktop with 10.6 operating system may need to be upgraded to 10.7 to use the Cloud.  I also have an IPhone that is 'on the cloud?' but I can't look on my MAC to see if the pictures I sent to the Cloud are there?  Do I have to buy a new sys

    My IMAC has a 10.6 operating system and I am trying to learn how to use the cloud to store pictures and upload files etc from my iphone.  Do I need to upgrade my operating system and how do I do that?

    You need to upgrade = purchase Lion in order to use iCloud on your iMac.  I use Dropbox with Snow Leopard.  No need to upgrade.

  • Is there a way to share ai or psd files using the cloud with non-cloud clients?

    I am interested in sharing the progress of a work in progress.  I have not used the cloud file storage yet and was wondering if there is a way to give clients access to a specific files using the cloud.

    Yes. Files are either Private or Public. Once a file is made Public anyone with that url can see the page for the file. You can control whether comments or dowloading of the original file is allowed.
    Your client does not need an Adobe ID to view the page, just a web browser.

  • I have a new iPad that uses the Cloud.  But my iMac, my MacBook Air, and my iPhone are all older.  How can I link my mail accounts that aren't on the cloud withntiPhone

    Does anyone know how to sync my email account which is on my iMac, my MacBook Air, and my iPhone with my new iPad that uses the Cloud.  none of my other Apple devices can use the cloud.   Please Help me use the same email account on my iPad!

    I have a MacBook Air, bought in 2010 or 2011.  It is running OS 10.6.8.
    I have an iMac that is the same age as my MacBook Air.  My iPhone is 2nd or 3rd generation.
    None can support "the Cloud".  I use gmail and my iPhone and both computers are all synced.
    I can't get email on my new iPad that does use "The Cloud".
    Please help.

  • Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?

    Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?
    We share an e-mail account and would like to use the same e-mail address for both our phones, as well as our computers at home. Is this possible?
    We both have itunes and apple ID's of our own right now, but since getting married, we are deleting these e-mail accounts and sharing one. How can we make this work?

    You may use the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, but using different iCloud Apple IDs is recommended.
    If you use the same iCloud account on your iPhones it will sync all of your contacts, reminders, and notes automatically and it could be a pain. I don't know exactly how you would want to have the iCloud accounts set up on the Macs, because I don't know exactly how you use them. (I am assuming you share?). But you can do whatever you like, you can even keep the same iCloud accounts, etc but you may want to disable the syncing of certain items, because reminders for ones phone popping up on the others automatically would probably get annoying, but that is just me.

  • Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud.

    Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud and never will be able to.

    That is true - I apologize for not being specific - what I was mainly referring to is iLife applications. I have a notice on the App Store that says 3 apps need updates, I look at the apps and they are huge so since my connection is so slow I use my work connection and d'load the files from support to my Windows machine and carry them home, once d'loaded my MacAir states it cannot install, the update must come from the App Store.
    I do the same thing for large Leopard and Lion files and I can install them without error, it is just the App Store files that the system stops.

  • HT1296 I was using the iCloud for my iPod and had recorded an important Voice Memo on the device. Before I was able to store it on my computer, the device stopped working. I have the data on the Cloud, how can I get that back to my iMac?

    I was using the iCloud for my iPod and had recorded several irreplaceable Voice Memos. It went up to the Cloud, but I wasn't too savvy with the Cloud at that point, so it wasn't syncronizing to my home computer. So, the thing is that the iPod died and the backup is in the Cloud and I would like to load the backup to my iMac to recover my data. How can I do that? Thanks

    The new device I got to replace the iTouch is a iPad and I don't see the playlist I created with previous voice memos on it at all. Is there any way to access them on the iPad? If I erase the iPad and restore it with the old back up will the Voice Memos come along and get in to my home computer or will I be out of luck?

  • Can somebody can tell me is CC for team can support to save the files in the local area without using the cloud ?

    Can somebody can tell me is CC for team can support to save the files in the local area without using the cloud ?

    The desktop applications are still installed on your computer, and the files are also saved on your computer.
    Optionally you can upload files with a browser to https://creative.adobe.com/files, or sync up files using the file sync that is part of the Creative Cloud desktop application. The online file storage is private to you, no one else can see it your files.
    If you do want to share your files there are two options:
    You can Collaborate, which is sharing a folder with another Adobe ID. Only the person you collaborate with can see the folder.
    You can use Send Link to send a publicly accessible url to a file or folder.

  • Hello, I've installed Lion but now it says I can't use the Cloud as I need the Apple ID Password to use Back to My Mac. I've obtained several new Apple ID passwords which work ok on my phone but doesn't seem to be the password it's looking for?

    It's probably looking for the Apple ID & Password you used to purchase Lion, or ML as the case may be.
    Thse are the Mountain Lion forums, is that what you meant?

  • How can i use the cloud on ipod touch 3g

    any ideas how to use the cloud with the 3g ipo touch?

    You need iOS 5 for iCloud. A 3G iPod can go to iOS 5. However, since you say you have iOS 4.2.1 I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
