My wife and I own an iMac (April 2011) and just recently got iPhones. We share one iTunes account (mainly for our uploaded music from CD). Do we each need to have our own iTunes account? What about iCloud? We want to utilize the same Calendar/Contacts

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

My iPad and iPhone have the same syncing calendar but my Windows 7 PC with iCloud does not sync/show the same calendar...please help!
iCloud will not sycn a calendar from an external source. In order to use iCloud to sync it, you would have to move it to iCloud and stop using Google. I know how to do that on a Mac, but I'm not sure how to do it on a PC. If you're using Outlook, I suspect you export it as an .ics file to your desktop, then import it to the iCloud account in Outlook. I'm sure you could use Google to find the specific steps.
However, there's really no reason not to just use Google to sync your calendar across your devices. Instead, just continue to use Goole calendar on all your devices and they should stay in sync. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Jj0KFgbYI. -

When I attempt to download the lastest version of the iphone 4 OS update or the itunes one for the desktop, the file is too large for my internet carrier. It will allow only a 400 MB download versus the download size of 583 MB. Suggestions?
You can download on your work computer, then place the file on your desktop of your home computer, if you want. Then:
Launch iTunes
Option+Click (Mac OS X) or Shift+Click (Windows) the Update button
Select the IPSW update file you just placed on your desktop
Let iTunes update your hardware to the latest version
The .ipsw file is located here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
Windows Vista & Windows 7: \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
You will have to turn on "Show All Hidden Files & Folders" to see it. -
Can 2 iCloud accounts share same Calendar, Contacts, and Photos? (family)
iPhone #1 (Husband)
iPhone #2 (wife)
iMac (Both)
We do not want to share the same email or reminders... email is personal, but we would like to share photos, contacts, and calendars. Can two iCloud accounts be shared with the same iMac and by doing so the iMac syncs the two accounts in Calandar, Contacts, Photos and merges the two accounts to the one program resulting in both phones containing the same Calendars, Contacts, and Photos???
Any ideas, tips, tricks, or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!I posted pretty much the same question on the forum a week [How to share contacts in iCloud?] and did mention that there the subscribe functionality for Calendar (replacement of iCal) works fine, but the issue with Contacts is becoming more critical (as Apple gave up the MobileMe support)... I did increment the count of 'I have the same question' hopefully increasing sight of Apple support team...

Our family used to operate under one itunes account. We now need to have our own. How do we keep our own downloads for the new accounts? We have realized now that we are all in the icloud world we have each others downloads on our devices.

I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. Any help on how I can I do this?
You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!
The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

This sign appeared in my account: "Your payment method was declined. Update your biiling info'. After adding new information about my others cards I see the same sign. Can't understand what the problem is and what should I do. Everything used to be good before.
Do anyone know what I supposed to do in that situation?
Really need help!

I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air, imac and iphone). I can't see how I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey? I also can't remember the password for this account so i can't even delete it and start again?
Help!
ThanksDeleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud. In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens. Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device. It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days. When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question. However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload). Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this. If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account. -
I have two macs at my house, and multiple iPhones. I want to keep the same apple id as everyone else, but i want to put my own music only on my iPhone. I want to do this with my laptop which is not the family's main iTune's computer.
If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:

My gen 3 iPod Touch seems to have duplicated all my music since updating to IOS 5 so that it now only holds half as much. What can I do about it? I'm using the same iTunes library with OS 10.6 and all software up to date.
Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order. -
iPad Air iOS 8.1 Stock Photo App. 14000 Photos. Overlapping date ranges in Moments. What is the criteria used for deciding after import where photos are included in Moments. I was expecting each day to have its own exclusive slot for example, not 26 - 27 January 2007 with 8 photos then 27 January 2007 1 photo. Why is there not two seperate slots, one for the 26th and one for 27th?? This makes locating photos by day more arkward than it need be and seems to follow no logic. This occurs over 150 times and is very confusing. Is this an issue or expected behaviour?
