Hello JellyFishFun,
It sounds like you are wanting to stop certain data from syncing between your families devices. From what you describe it seems that the same iCloud account is signed in on them. You can configure each device to sync only certain content with iCloud or each other by disabling the options you do not want to sync on either your iPad, or their devices. This article outlines where to check for these settings for you to customize for your situation:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID

I understand that you have not changed the Apple ID but the article lists services that use an Apple ID for you to check to see if the account is setup with those services.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

I cannot get Reminders created on my Mac to cloud over to my iPad and iPhone. However, Reminders created on my iPad and iPhone DO cloud over to my Mac. Any advice?

I cannot get Reminders created on my Mac to "cloud over" to my iPad and iPhone. However, Reminders created on my iPad and iPhone DO "cloud over" to my Mac. iCloud settings on all three devices are the same. Any advice?

Thanks. Mine's a POP account, not a .Mac, so I'm not sure mine is the same issue. Thanks though. By the way, I did come across this thread that might help http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1273888&tstart=0. I plan on trying it later today when I have access to my Mac again.

IPad and iPhone stopped syncing over wifi

HI
since I was prompted to changed my apple password my iphone and iPad wont sync. I've restarted both several times but I'm having no joy

Hi there clare235,
If you have as yet been unable to sync via Wi-Fi from either of these two devices, I would use the troubleshooting information in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing
The article is kind of large, but just start at the top and verify all the settings, and troubleshooting as you go.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Why can't I save PDF files on my iPad and iPhone

Since I upgraded to iOS 5 I have not been able to save PDF fines on my iPad and iPhone . Yet that's want the case before the upgrade. Can some one tell me why...b,se I feel like the upgrade was a step backward than forward..

Thanks for this Griff but it's not the app that isn't responding. I am in the facebook app (on both iPhone and iPad) and the app is working fine but if people post a video I can't look at the video on the iPhone or iPad. i always used to be able to but now it keeps coming up with the message I mentioned above. So I can no longer watch videos from facebook on either my iPad or iPhone. Here is a screen shot of my phone of what is happening. As you can see I have full wifi so there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. This is really annoying as I used to be able to watch videos on both phone and ipad out of facebook. now I can't. Hope you can help. regards and thanks Vicki

YAY!!!! Email now pushes perfectly on my iPad and iPhone after uploading IOS6!

i have an ipod, ipad, and iphone. ilike to use imessage on all of them but i dont want messages to appear on the devices i am not currently using. nor do i want to have to keep a saparate account / id for each device how do i fix the settings on each so that with the same ID / login I can chech me emails, share contacts etc, be able to use i messenger on each without the whole conversation automatically beiing picked up by my other devices? some conversations just arent intended to be shared!

Turn it into the local police department with an explanation as to who you tried to contact and what they told you. That's the only safe procedure, as otherwise the owner could report the iPod as stolen, even though you tried to return it, and get you into trouble.

How to get contacts from ipad to iphone? (I don't want any contacts to come from my PC via icloud.)

How to get my contacts from ipad to iphone? (I don't want any contacts to come from my PC via icloud, only from the ipad.)

Well, if both your iPad and iPhone have ios 7 you could AirDrop the contacts. This may seem time consuming if have a lot of contacts as you have to select all the ones you want to transfer. But it is useful if you want transfer only specific contacts and not the whole contact list. Oh, and another thing: your iPad has to be a 4th generation or higher and your iPhone has to be 5th generation or higher.

How to sync Outlook 2010 Contact Groups to my iPad and iPhone

I am trying to figure out how to sync my Outlook 2010 contact groups to my iPad and iPhone. Also how do you manage the groups once on the device? Seems they can only be selected and not edited. I can get my Good contact group and my Windows Contacts contact group to sync but not my Outlook 2010 groups. Any ideas?

Mac solution. No idea if works on PC:
Work Around:
On your mac:
1. Open a new email
2. Insert name of an existing group into one of the "To" fields as usual.
3. Highlight all the resulting names in the "To" entry
     [Highlight first name, and while holding shift, highlight last name and all will highlight[]
4. Copy (Command C) the highlighted emails
5. Paste (Command V) nto a pages document
6. Remove the name and anything else preceeding the first < and also the first < of only the first entry whixh will look like this:
     [email protected]>,
7. Remove the > of the last email which will look like this:
     , Jane Doe <[email protected]
8. Copy the entire altered list from the pages document
9, Go to Contact Book and click + to add a new entry
10.. Name the entry (XXX Group for iPad) or whatever you wish to call it
11. Paste all the copied altered list into any one of the email entry spaces
12. Click on "Done"
13. Create new email On iPad and click on + in any one of the "To" lines and search for "XXX Group for iPad" You cannot just key in XXX Group for iPad!!!!!!!, you must use + contact search.
14. Enter the selected iPad contact group into the "To" line.
15. All the entries will now appear in the "To" line and you are good to go.
Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
Easiest: Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above. It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
Rediculously simple once figured out.
Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails. Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose.

I have an hd movie on both my ipad and iPhone 5, using airplay with my iPhone 5 plays perfectly but gets stuck with my ipad 2, almost like its buffering? I just want it to play smoothly like with my iPhone. Any suggestion?

About 6 months ago I discovered iTunes was set by default to 720p. These MUST BE CHANGED TO 1080P!!!!!!!!.......So I installed FULL 1080P file on my laptop on iTunes... When I download movies on iPhone 5s/iPad mini the file is 720p So within about 60 seconds of starting download of 1080p files into my laptop of iTunes purchases. It was at that moment that I realized it was that file my laptop has on file to sync to my Apple device...Ten minutes later when the first 1080P HD file was downloaded I must say... The resolution is amazing... I now use this same process to install movie files from iTunes.. In FULL 1080P.. Not 720P... Works on my iPad mini also... Avatar is 5.4 GB if installed over Wi-Fi... However sync with laptop and file is 6.5 GB in size... Called Apple told them... No reply yet.... You must delete 720P files from your laptop... Look for file size in any movie purchase and you will see DOWNLOAD IN 1080P.. This will open preferences in iTunes for you to the correct tab so you can change setting to 1080p from default of 720p... DELETE any downloaded movies already downloaded into laptop... You can check file quality by right click on any movie folder and the look at movie info... Will say 720p HD... Delete to recycle bin and iCloud will appear on each movie... Now download 1080P HD file... When completed. Right click any file to verify it is 1080P HD... The sync with device...... And get ready to be upset with Apple for holding back your device for the last 2 years 3 months and 16 days......And be ready to catch your jaw from hitting the floor when you see your screen in full 1080P HD.... Apple Engineer's were asleep.....
You will notice better pic quality... Apple by default is still sending the 720P file to the new iPhone 6 plus over wifi and sync.. howve this process above will give you full HD file for your Apple device...

Home pc is under my husband's user id, I have an iPad and iPhone under my apple id. I have more music on my iPad then on pc or iPhone. If I set up synching over wifi for my devices... What do they sync to? Will the songs on iPad be added to phone/pc?

Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet. It's not designed to. if the work computer was on the home network it would.
iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2. Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

Face time over iPad and iPhone

Hello all,
I have a question about face time over iPad and iPhone.
I have iPhone4S with ios6 and have unlimited data plan from Verizon in US.
My friend, who has new iPad NOT iphone with iOS6 and currently lives in UK.
Since iOS6 provides FaceTime over 3G/4G, do I get charged if I make a face time call with my 3G network?
I know that I don't need to pay if I use wifi. I also believe that my friend won't get charged since his iPad only works through wifi.
Any information will be much appreciated.

One more thing to consider if you're using your iPhone to FaceTime to your friend in the UK:
Sometimes, the iPhone will make the initial FaceTime contact as a telephone call, then switch to FaceTime. So if you use Verizon (as opposed to WiFi) from your iPhone, you might get charged for a brief phone call to the UK.

HT200196 iCal reminders are clogging up my computers, iPads and iPhone. When I view the Calendar list in iCal, it seems it has added a new calendar every time an event is added. I have a calendar list that has grown to over 100. How do I remedy this?

My laptop, iPad, and iPhone are being clogged by repeated iCal alerts. Every time an event is added, it seems another Calendar is also added. When I view the Calendar list in iCal, there are over 100...and the number is growing. They can not be deleted with a simple "Select all" or "Delete All" and, when deleted individually, the list quickly grows to huge numbers again rapidly. How do I keep this from happening and eliminate the excessive number of calendars?

It reboots it but unplugging can also rectify communication issues like this. A restore would be the next step.

How can I differentiate between iPad and iPhone iMessages for the same contact?

I have my sister in law's email and phone number all in the same contact. She iMessages me from both her iPad and her phone. They come up as two different iMessage conversations, but they both are under her name. When I go to text her I don't know if I'm sending it to her iPhone or iPad. Anyone know if there's anyway to differentiate? Sometimes looking at what was previously said in the conversation helps but I can't always remember (nor do I know which device he was messaging me from in the previous convo). Thanks all

Try scrolling to the top of the conversation and tapping Contact. You will then see the originating address highlighted in blue on the contact. If the iPad and iPhone are creating two different conversations, chances are if the email address is highlighted it's coming from the iPad; if the phone number is highlighted it's coming from the iPhone (although not necessarily). To know for sure you would have to ask her to check Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and tell you which is checked under "Start new conversations from" on both devices to know for sure.

Greetings: I have multiple iPads and iPhones. I want all to be able to be able to stream to our Apple TV. All of the docs I see say you must have the same Apple ID for all the devices, but we each have our own Apple ID. Is this just a doc short coming?

You can each have your own ID for your own iTunes accounts, but in order for a device to stream via AirPlay to the same Apple TV, everything must use the same homesharing ID. This is not the same as your iTunes account ID (although it can be for one of the devices)
