Multi ID's want to share contacts, calendar & notes, but need individual ID's for others

Family has multiple iOS and OSX devices all sharing a common Apple ID for iTunes, and we have individual ID's for Message and FaceTime. We all want to share contacts, calendars, notes, reminders and the Find My device feature via Cloud, but found that when we use the shared iTunes ID we all show up as the same person in Air Drop (and possibly other apps too). Is there a way to individualize the devices without loosing the ability to share the desired info? I've searched with no luck. Thank you!

If she created her own iCloud account by going to System Preferences>iCloud on her Mac and signing in with her Apple ID, you could privately share your calendars with each other with read and write access as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a9479.
Contacts would be more difficult to share. To access your contacts, she would need to sign into your account and enable contact syncing. However, when she does this, her conacts would be merged with yours. A better solution would probably be to create a Gmail account, import your contacts to the account, and have her add the Gmail account to her Mac and enable contact syncing. This would isolate just the contacts and would not merge hers with yours. If you want to do this, you would need to download your iCloud contacts as a vCard (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606), import the vCard to Gmail (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/183711?hl=en), then add the Gmail account to her Mac in System Preferences>Internet Accounts (Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>Add Account>Google, then check Contacts.

HT1296 My husband and I each just got iPhones. We also just got an iPad. We've each created our individual Apple id's. We don't want to share contact between our iPhones, but would like to combine contacts on the iPad. I'm looking for suggestions.

My husband and I each just got iPhone 4S. We also purchased the New iPad.
We've set up individual iCloud and iTunes accounts.
We each have contacts that we don't want to share between our iPhones, but would like to share on the iPad.
I'm seeking help as to how to sync these accounts properly to obtain this goal.

If you intend to "share" the iPad, that's not gonna work if you both have separate Apple ID's & iTunes accounts. Like iPhone, iPad is not presently designed to be shared like a computer. Confirm if this is your intent.

I share my apple id but dont want to share contacts so what do i need to do?

Set up your own iCloud account with your own separate ID. The ID you use for iCloud does not need to be the same as the ID used for other services such as the iTunes and App stores. You can still share an ID for iTunes purchases and have a separate ID for iCloud.

My wife and I both have the new iPhones. Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac? So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

Want to share just calendar between two iphones--will icloud do this?

The title really says it all. My husband and I both have iPhone 3GS and we want to share a calendar and hope to have it update without having to sync to the PC. Is this what iCloud will do if we choose to only turn on the calendar portion? We share an iTunes account already and sync on the same PC. Thanks so much.

Yes, You should see each others calenders. When in the calender app the top bar will show how many calenders sre showing. It will be either a number or all or no calenders. Tap on the "calenders" button in the upper left of the screen. That will show a list of all the calenders available. You can also add a calender by tapping the "edit" button and then "add calender".

I want to share ical calendars.

Hi I'm running OS 10.7 on a Mac Book and an IMac.
I want to share ical calendars . I have no idea what a calendar server is and how to go about it. can someone please help.

iCal Server is part of Mac OSX Server. You need a computer running this operating system which is permamently connected to the internet with a static IP number (most ISPs do not provide this to domestic users).
http://www.apple.com/support/macosxleopardserver/icalserver/
You can ask about OSX Server in its forum:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/servers_enterprise_software/mac_os_x_lio n_server
You can publish an 'On My Mac' calendar to a web-page (read-only) - control-click the calendar and choose 'Publish', then choose 'Private server' and enter your webspace details as indicated.

Gmail contacts/calendar/notes not updating to phone

Hi, my iphone 4 was replaced yesterday. I'm now trying to set up my contacts from Gmail. I know how to do this but it just hangs. Mail has uploaded fine but not the contacts, calendar or notes. I've tried to do this individually, hence how I know email is working, but the contacts/calendars/notes don't seem to want to play nice. Please help.

If you want the calendar entries that you create on the phone to sync with the gmail, you need to create the entry in the gmail calendar on the phone. If you create it in the phone calendar, it is only on the phone.
Usually at the very top of the new event entry you have a choice of which calendar to create this event in. Either Phone, gmail or any other option you have synced to your phone. To get it to sync to the gmail calendar you need to select the gmail calender.

How to export contacts, calendar, notes from outlook 2013 for mac to out 2013 PC

I have been unsucessful with syncing my iPhone5 and iPad Air (both are iOS7). My MS Outllok 2013 is installed on my iMac (Maverick). My iMac is dualt booted with Windows 7 and Maverick operating systems.
I visited my local Apple store and was told that I would need to export my contacts, calendar, notes etc to a thumb drive and import to my Windows-based MS Office 2013. Well, I tried to do that but discovered when you go to export on the Mac side and option to export to .csv is not an option. The one an only option is ".olm"
How do I accomplish exporting my contacts, calendar, notes to a thumb drive and is able to import on the PC side? Not to fond of the fact that I have a brand new iMac and is unable to sync my iphone and iPad Air. This *****!!

Well, there actually is... syncing through Link to Outlook is one way.
The way I described is easier.

Public Holiday calendar not to be taken into account for Sick Leave

Dear All,
I need help.
Public Holiday calendar not to be taken into account for Sick Leave.
Eg -When I employee applies for sick leave, the public holiday in between the dates shouldnt be considered. How can I configure this requirement.
Please help.
Regards,
Poornima

For that group, you need 2 counting rules:
- one for Holiday Class 0 (not a public holiday) and Day Work Schedule Class 0 (not a working day)
- one for Holiday Class 0 (not a public holiday) and Day Work Schedule Class 1 to 9 (a working day)
If you want, you can add an other one or two for Holiday Class 1 to 9 (public holiday)

4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
      Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
      like your security/challenge questions reset;

You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!
