Multiple devices, family sharing...iCloud setup

I've so far avoided iCloud because it is very confusing to me. I've read loads of threads, and comprehending it all is still eluding me. Let me explain my setup, what I want to do, and how I'm proposing to do it.
My Setup:
5 family members (including myself)
4 iPhones (2 4S, 1 4 and 1 3S) all with iOS5
2 iPod Touches with iOS5
1 MBP running Lion with accounts for each family member.
1 Mini running Lion
3 XP machines, each with accounts for each family member.
The Mini is our "media" computer connected to our TV. It's connected to a network drive which stores all our media, music, books and apps, including everyone's photos via iPhoto.
My Goal:
Everyone's photos taken by iPhones/iPods on 1 Photostream accessible by the Mini for viewing/storage.
Everyone with their own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/etc.
Shared iTunes content, again synced with iTunes on Mini
My Thoughts:
If I am understanding what I've read, I can create an iCloud account which has to be the primary account on all the iPhones/iPods. Then go into Settings on each iOS device and turn off everything I don't want sync'd (Mail, Calendars, Contacts, etc.).
Then for each iPhone/iPod, create an individual iCloud account for each family member, turning on what they want synced on both their iOS device and in their iCloud settings in their accounts on their computers.
For iTunes content sharing, we just keep doing what we've been doing, using the shared iTunes account we already have.
My Questions/Concerns:
It looks like this will necessitate having 6 iCloud accounts, which I guess will work since we have that many devices; but I'm curious how others could handle a setup like this if they only had 1 device per person?
After all this is set up, could I then have an additional calendar added in somehow which the family uses for adding shared events?
So, does this sound right? Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Hi all..
I hope you don't mind me chiming in here, but I see this as a major flaw in the move from MobileMe to iCloud.
Roderick, based on what your requirements are, this sounds like a viable solution.
Here's the spanner in the works:
Q: Can you have more than 1 iCloud account on each iOS device?
Everything I have found so far points to "No".
If you can't, and you all want to sync "common" contacts, iCal events & numbers/pages stuff, then you have to use 1 common iCloud account. But you will not be able to FaceTime or iMessage each other!
Is my assumption here correct?
I have a MobileMe family pack with 5 me.com addresses. I have kept the "main" one from migrating, so we currently keep all our contacts & calendars synced with that "main" account in MobileMe.
Simple solution for the time being, but what happens in June 2012 when MobileMe is retired?
Frustrated-dot-com!!

My family put multiple devices on the icloud, and I need to know how to manage duplicate entries. Specifically contacts. If I fix the contact list on my pc will it push the info out to the other devices and maintain it correctly?

My family put multiple devices on the icloud, and I need to know how to manage duplicate entries. Specifically contacts. If I fix the contact list on my pc will it push the info out to the other devices and maintain it correctly?

All devices signed into the same iCloud account will finish up with the same contacts. Of course if prior to joining iCloud two family members each had an entry for Uncle Fred, then you will finish up with two contact cards for Uncle Fred, and so on. If you tidy this up on your computer then the changes will propagate to everyone else.

Can I have multiple devices on one iCloud account

can I have multiple devices on one iCloud account? Like a iPad and Mac Book Pro
If so how can I do this?

Sure. That is what iCloud is meant for, so you can keep your devices synced.
When you set up iCloud on the devices, use the same Apple ID on all devices, then the iCloud account will be the same.
see this page: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f1e2a

Our home network has multiple devices connected by iCloud. Having problem with Calendar. On one iMac, all the events are duplicated. How can I correct that problem? Under the Calendar accounts, I had my Apple id listed and also just iCloud.

Our home network has multiple devices connected by iCloud: 2 iMacs, 2 iPhone 4s, 1 MacPro Laptop, and 1 iPad 2. When using Calendar, all the events were
duplicated on my husbands iMac. On his computer, under Calendar accounts, I had included iCloud and also my iCloud ID. I thought that because I had two accounts listed that were connected to iCloud, that might be the cause of the duplication. When I deleted ithe calendars from one of the accounts, it resulted
in deleting all of the events on all of our network devices!
I have since entered some new events into Calendar from my iMac and from my iPhone. These appear correctly on all devices except my husband's iMac where they are again all duplicated.
I have two questions: 1) How can I eliminate the duplicated events on my husband's computer and 2) How do I retrieve the old wiped out Calendar events from
Time Capsule. I don't know how to find Calendar in the Time Capsule. If I find the Calendar information in Time Capsule, how do I transfer it to my current Calendars?
I was obtaining phone help from one of the Apple techs at Apple Support, but our call was disconnected part way through. Didn't know how to reconnect with the tech.
Thanks for any help.

How do I manage multiple devices on the iCloud

How do I manage multiple devices on the icloud. We have 2 ipods, 2 iphones, ipad and a mac and right now the icloud thinks my son has my phone.

Try going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>My Info (in the Contacts section), then select your contact from the list.

TS4097 we have multiple users in our family and multiple devices all sharing one itunes account. i think we are all synced to one icloud account and it is a nightmare....contacts lost, text messags showing up on multiple devises etc. how do we fix this?

We have our family sharing one itunes account. we have 3 iphones, 2 macbook airs, 2 ipads and 1 mac. I am not sure how we even got started on the icloud but somehow we did and everything is a mess. The ipads are showing the text messages, the contacts are all combined, the apps that my duaghter downloads are appearing on all devices. how do we fix this so contacts are not shared, messages are not shared and apps are not automatically synced to all devises?

You have two different issues going on. You are getting each other's messages because you are sharing the Same Apple ID for iMessage. This can be corrected by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on add the devices and doing one of the following:
Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on all of your devices; or
If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your devices, on all of the other ones tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so all devices will be using a different Apple ID for iMessage). Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores. It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services.
The second issue is that you are sharing the same iCloud account on your devices. When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
First decide which device(s) will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one(s) that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else that you want to keep on the device(s), save these to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this device, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On [iDevice]. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a separate Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. Repeat this process for all the devices that you need to migrate to new accounts.
When finished, to un-merge the data in your accounts you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

Family Sharing is setup but spouse can't make purchases

I've setup Family Sharing under my account and added my wife and daughter. My daughter's account works perfectly - if she tries to purchase anything it prompts her to ask for it, I get the notification, etc.
When my wife tries to purchase anything it starts the process but then tells her she needs to enter payment information (credit card) for her account. I've checked her device and it shows under iCloud that it knows her account is part of a Family Sharing. It even shows the correct information under "Shared Payment Method".
Why is she unable to make purchases that get charged through my account?

pritchey wrote:
Not sure if this matters or not - she does *not* have anything entered under her account for payment information (current selection is 'None'). Not sure if something has to be entered - and is then ignored if the account is set for Family Sharing - or not.
That may be the issue. I would try adding a credit card rather than choosing None.

Family Sharing - iCloud and iTunes Accounts

So I have have had an apple ID (just a user name) for an eternity. That has been the main purchasing vehicle over the years, both in iTunes and more recently, the Mac App store. But I also have an iCloud account (email address) that primarily has served as my iCloud login but a few times have made purchases.
With Family sharing, I want to be able for everoyne to have access to both accounts, but it doesn't seem possible. My iCloud account drives the setup of family share, and the account is my legacy user name that has been used for 98% of my purchases. I have not found a way under family sharing to get both added as Apple sees them as being the same regardless of email I use to add, etc.
Any thoughts?

Under "Setting up Family Sharing" here: https://developer.apple.com/icloud/documentation/family-sharing/ it says:
"You can accept a Family Sharing invitation from any compatible iOS device or Mac where you are signed into iCloud. Or, if the organizer is nearby, they can simply ask you to enter your iCloud Apple ID and password during the setup process. To complete setup, you will also confirm the Apple ID you use for the iTunes, iBooks, and App Stores so you can share your purchases with family members."
This suggests that you can specify a different ID for the iTunes store if you aren't using your iCloud ID for purchasing.

ICloud Setup: Multiple Devices, Some Shared Data, Separate Email. Help!

Hi
My wife and I both have an iPhone 3G and pre-ordered a new 4S for each of us. We have a shared Apple ID (MobileMe account) through which we keep our calendar and address book synced with our phones, 2 Macs and iPad. That data is shared. We have no need or desire to each have separate calendars or address books.
We have also used the MobileMe account to share access to photo galleries created through iPhoto and posted to MobileMe (I know Galleries are getting the ax).
I have Gmail on my phone and keep it synced through IMAP. She has Verizon email on her phone as a convenience but it doesn't sync (i.e. if she reads a new email on her phone, it still shows up as "new" on the Mac).
We share a 2nd Apple ID for iTunes purchases. It's not tied to our MobileMe account. Through that, we are able to buy music, books and apps once, and use them on all devices.
This configuration has worked great for us but I can't figure out how to mirror that setup through iCloud. Once our new phones arrive...and assuming both Macs are running the latest Lion update, here's what I'd want to do:
My iPhone
- Gmail synced to Gmail Web Client and Mail App on 1 Mac (could this simply continue to happen via IMAP?)
- iCal, Address Book, and Photo Stream shared/synced with wife, iPad and 2 Macs through iCloud. Haven't decided about Reminders.
- iTunes purchases (music, apps, books) available to all devices
- Separate iMessages (of course)
Wife's iPhone
- Verizon email synced to Mail App on iPad and Mail App on 1 Mac (not imperative that this syncs, but would be nice)
- iCal, Address Book and Photo Stream shared/synced with me, iPad and 2 Macs through iCloud. Haven't decided about Reminders.
- iTunes purchases (music, apps, books) available to all devices
- Separate iMessages
I'd like to keep the .me email address too - although I don't necessarily need to migrate that account to iCloud (unless it makes the most sense to do so).
If you can offer advice on how to set things up this way…or point out anything that I'm not considering, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Dave

My situation is almost identical. My wife and I presently sync our calendars and contacts through a MobileMe account and share apps through a .mac ID and want to keep it that way, but don't want to get each others iMessages. Assuming my account is the "master" account, I know I will convert my MobileMe address and ID to iCloud and set up my iTunes and Store account through my .mac ID. I assume that for my wife to receive her own iMessages and for me to be able to directly iMessage her, she'll have to create a new and separate Apple ID. If I do that, how do I set it up where we both share and sync the same calendar and contacts? I've read tons and tons of articles/posts/etc on this and it's confusing to me and to others.

Multiple devices trouble sharing & syncing apps with iCloud

We have 2 iPods, 1 iPhone, a PC laptop and a PC all on the same iCloud Apple ID. The iPhone and the two iPods each have their own Apple ID for making purchases. The iPhone and one of the iPods are able to share apps purchased separately after the devices are sync'd in iTunes, but one of the iPods (which was originally using a different iTunes account but is now on the same iTunes account as the other iPod and the iPhone - maybe this is part of the problem?) can't seem to get any of the apps from the other two. In iTunes, we can select the shared apps when this iPod is connected, but when we try to sync, nothing gets added. Thoughts on what we might be doing wrong?
Also, I thought iCloud automatically shared apps among devices. We have to sync the devices on iTunes to share the apps...is this how it is supposed to work?
Thanks so much for any help anyone can provide!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's unclear from your post whether you fully appreciate the difference between iCloud and iTunes. iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes and each account can use a separate ID, my first thought therefore would be that you may be using a different ID for this iPod. Check you are using the same ID for iTunes on the PC and iTunes on the iPod at settings > store.
Apps don't exactly sync between devices, they sync according to your settings in iTunes. They can however automatically download to a device when purchased on another, for this to occur, you need the automatic download option checked at settings > store.

Multiple devices & family members

Ok, I am new to the Apple family and am confused on some items. I have an Iphone and Imac, my kids have Itouches, and ipods, my husband is addicted to the ipad! So, Does each person need to set up their own apple id? We have all been using mine. I just want one main music library that we can all share from, but want them to have their own apps and things for their own devices. What is my best bet to accomplish this?

Read this through and it will give you some ideas how to configure your Apple devices for a family.

Family sharing iCloud ID to synch iCal&Address Book, but do not want to share email.

Hello,
I have both mine and my wife’s iphone paired to my icloud account so we can share/synch our Address Book, iCal, Find my iPhone, etc. Plus, we share my iTunes account, though that is under a different Apple ID.
My email address is not in her mail folder, however she gets my mail in her ‘All Inboxes’.
How do I stop this, yet still share my iCloud features (family plan - type)?
Thx - Erik
<Email Edited by Host>

Firstly, I've asked the hosts to edit your email from your post, it's not a good idea to post it in the open it will attract unwanted mail.
If your wife simply doesn't want your email she can turn off mail syncing in her iCloud settings.
If she wants her own me address she should have her own iCloud account, you could then add each others iCloud to your own a s a secondary account and just turn on the sync services you want.

Multiple devices for on iCloud/iTunes account

I have three devices under the same iCloud/iTunes account. I need to "inactivate" one of the devices. How do I do it without affecting the iCloud/iTunes account?

You could just delete your iCloud account from your device (Settings > iCloud) or erase the device via Find My iPhone. Futhrrmore you could also delete the device from iTunes account via iTunes on your computer (open iTunes then menu "Store > View account > iTunes in the Cloud > Manage devices)

Multiple devices with seperate icloud accounts

Ok, I am going to try and explain this as best as possible. On my itunes account between me and my fiancee we have 2 computers, 2 ipads and 2 iphones. He set up an icloud account that is showing my email address as the itunes account but it is then linked to his email address and his devices. I would like to set up my own icloud account that links only my email accounts and calendars (well right now I am only interested in getting my calendars to sync). I am very confused on how to make this happen since he is linked to my email address (which is also my apple id) Is there anyone out there that can give me some guidance on this??? Any help would be most appreciated.

If you don't want to share calendars, contacts, email, etc. then you both need different Apple IDs for iCloud (i.e. two different iCloud accounts). This has no relation to iTunes accounts - you can both use the same one if you want to share your music, etc. Since your boyfriend is using your email address (I assume this is your Apple ID), for icloud, then he should set up a new account for him to use.

Multiple devices - 1 Apple ID, time for another ID?

Hi
As a family we currently only use 1 Apple ID - this is the ID on the computer that has Itunes on, any icloud stuff and then we use it on 4 devices belonging to each of us. This was I can keep track of what the children are doing plus we share all the same apps, only have to buy them once etc
Just today I've realised that this can cause issue in some things, the children wanted to go on dragonvale at the same time but one of them would get kicked out of theirs if the other one was on it - i can only assume that for one of the children to have their own version of dragonvale etc is for her to have her own Apple ID? But can I still link her device/purhcases through our 'family'# ID as well
Have been trying to read up on it but I cant make much sense!
I dont really use icloud, i just sync them all to itunes once a fortnight or so

No. iDevices are single user devices. You cannot have two users with two IDs using the same device. Either they use one Apple ID or you buy one their own device.
Yes, Family Sharing will do that now.
