Secure sharing via iCloud?

I used MobileMe (iDsc) to securely share specific documents with specific people.   There must be a way to do this with iCloud, but I haven't found it.   Can I upload documents (e.g., Word, Excel, etc.) and the share specific documents (or folders) with specific people?  If so, how?  Thanks.

  • Can a file to be shared via iCloud be password protected?

    Can a file to be shared via iCloud be password-protected?  I used to do this with files shared between Windows & my Blackberry using Documents To Go.

    Nobody can predict what OSX next can or can't : It is a Beta and thus everything can change .
    Concerning Lion and iOS5 :
    the notes faciltiy in iOS5 devices is synced via iCloud, yes : your notes will be received in your icloud email account on the Mac. Just make sure you enable mail and notes  in icloud panel on both ios and lion.
    "Sticky Notes" : No Syncing available ( and I doubt Apple cares much for that : the app is a relict from OS classic ) .

  • In Lion, can Notes and StickyNotes be shared via iCloud?

    Looks like there will be an app "notes" in Mountain Lion that can be shared across all my computers; is there a way to use Notes (iOS5) and StickNotes (Lion) with iCloud to do that now?

  • Viewing a document created on ios on my Mac with Pages 5.0 wihtout sharing via icloud?

    I have Pages 5.0 on my ios device and Mac. When I create a document on my Mac in Pages it will automatically appear on my Pages app on my ios. But when I create a docuemnt on my ios it will not generate on my Mac. I'm pretty sure it used to do this before 5.0.
    I know I can share my documents via icloud and pull it up on my browser, but I don't want to have to edit documents on my browser. I'd imagine there has to be a way of just using the Pages app and Pages on my Mac. Is there not a way to pull up the documents I created on Pages on my iso on Pages on my Mac?
    It sounds like there have been problems with the upgrade to 5.0. As I mentioned, I believe that it used to automatically generate  documens created on my ios on my Mac when my computer would start. Is this soemthign I could solve to downgrading. Or am I not doing something correctly?

    It seems as though your documents are syncing to iCloud properly but don't seem to be making their way to your Mac.
    Have you tried disabling pages in your iCloud settings, restarting your Mac then re-enabling pages in iCloud.

  • HT201302 Video sharing via iCloud

    How do I  share videos from my iPhone to my iPad via iCloud?

    There isn't a way to "share" videos from once device to another in the manner you are describing.
    But you can download past purchases....
    With iTunes in the Cloud, you can now make a purchase on your iPhone and then download that purchase again on your iPad without having to sync with iTunes.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    This only works with purchases made using the same Apple ID.

  • Screen Sharing via iCloud on Lion Freezes at Login Screen

    After updating to OSX Lion 10.7.3, screen sharing between two computers via the Internet allows me to connect to the remote computer and see the remote user's login screen, but as soon as I click on a user to login, the screen share image freezes before I can enter the user password. 
    Using iCloud Back to My Mac because all machines have the same Apple ID & password. Exact same setup worked before the 10.7.3 upgrade, but it could be coincidence. 
    Details:
    Can see the remote computers in my finder,
    Can click on them and connect successfully using either the Apple ID or the name and password a user that is allowed under Sharing -> Screen Sharing,
    When clicking on "Screen Share," the computers connect and I'm prompted to either "Ask to Share the Display" or "Connect to Virtual Display"Since there really isn't anyone using the computer, I select "Connect to Virtual Display"
    After clicking "Connect to Virtual Display" the Screen Sharing window shows the remote computer's login screen, whcih shows the user names, their icons and "Sleep" "Restart" or "Shut Down" on the bottom of the screen.  One user has an orange circle with a white checkmark next to it. 
    Previously, I could click a user's name or icon, enter the password and control the remote Mac.  Now, not amount of clicking works. 
    Have tried disconnecting and reconnecting as different users or using Apple ID without changes in the perofmance. Have restarted both machines. 
    Any help?

    I'm having the same problem screen sharing to a Lion 10.7.3 machine, I get this message.
    However, it works just like it used to when I screen share from a 10.7.3 machine to another Mac running 10.6.8.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

  • General File Sharing Via iCloud

    Does anyone know if Apple is planning on offering general document sharing functionality in the cloud?  I love to have the ability to drag and drop .ods files [for example] to the cloud to share them across platforms.  Does this already exist and I'm missing it?

    Nobody in these forums can tell you whether Apple plans to expand the capabilities of iCloud in this direction.  People who want general file sharing normally use Dropbox or a similar service.
    You can tell Apple what you would like to see via

  • How can a parent restrict a child's access to a PARENT'S PRE-EXSISTING iTunes account via iCloud's Family Sharing Program?

    How can a parent restrict a child's access to a PARENT'S PRE-EXSISTING iTunes account via iCloud's Family Sharing Program?  To explain further... I have a young son who is on my iCloud family sharing program... I am excited to be able to share SOME of my music in my iTunes library, but there are some songs and music videos that are not age appropriate for him and currently there is no way to restrict him from viewing and downloading anything off of my iTunes library.  Yes, I suppose I can delete the songs he shouldn't have access to, but I don't think I should have to do that... I paid for them and still like them and listen to them while I work out or am without my kids.  Is there a way for me to personally select which songs/videos I would like to "hide" from my children in an effort to shield them from inappropriate content?

    Hello ggg39,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have some content in your iTunes library that you would like to restrict access for the child set up on Family Sharing with you. To do this, you can set restrictions on the child’s device as described in the attached article. 
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    Now kids under 13 can have their own Apple IDs. As a parent or legal guardian, the family organizer can create an Apple ID for a child and add the child to the family group automatically. Ask to Buy is turned on by default, and the organizer can also limit the content kids have access to on their devices through Restrictions on an iOS device or parental controls in OS X and iTunes.
    For more information on restrictions and how to set them up, please reference the next attached article. 
    About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud, but they are not sharing the information between devices ie if I purchase an app on one it does not transfer to the other although the backup is successful via iCloud.

    I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud but the data is not being shared between the devices. When I backup it appears to be working as there are no error messages but the data is not shared between each. Any help would be great as this is very frustrating.

    Backing up to icloud is not the same as syncing data between devices.  Go to
    Settings>Store.  Turn on the automatic downloads that you want on that screen.
    Settings>iCloud.  Turn on the features you want to sync between devices.

  • How can I organize multiple iWorks documents shared with me via iCloud?

    Hi,
    I'm just exploring iWorks for iCloud beta (i4ib).  A friend shared a Numbers spreadsheet with me via iCloud.  I can open it and edit it as expected.  So far, so good.  The two of us plan to work on several spreadsheets like this over the next two months.  Going back to an old email to retrieve the link to each file when we need it "just ain't Apple" if you'll allow me to paraphrase a quote from Happy Feet.
    We would like to be able to use iCloud to organize the spreadsheets *someone has shared with us* so we could access them using the same Spreadsheet Manager tool in iCloud that we would use for any other spreadsheets *we have created and stored on iCloud*.  So far I haven't been able to discern how to do so and cannot tell if this is a supported use or not.  Does anyone know how to do this?  Have I just managed to miss it in the hints and help available?
    In the mean time I've copied the a link for each of the spreadsheets he shared with me to a folder on my Safari favorites bar.  That work around is suitable for very small collaboration exercises but far from optimal for anyone who envisions using iCloud for collaboration on a larger scale.  I thought I'd ask the question before I tried to submit this as feedback to Apple.
    Regards,
    Elise
    PS - I used *bold* to emphasize the difference between a spreadsheet I "own" because I created it and one created by someone else and shared with me.

    What you want is not yet possible, so you should use the feedback channel to ask Apple to add it.  If Googledocs is better at this (I think it is from what I have read), you should make that point.

  • I have shared my icalendars with family members via icloud and now my calendar on my computer has been stuck saying "Moving calendars to server account" for literally 5 days.  What do I do?

    I have shared my icalendars with family members via icloud and now my calendar on my computer has been stuck saying "Moving calendars to server account" for literally 5 days.  What do I do?

    Hi, Confused As Always CB. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Hopefully I can help resolve this issue for you.  Try removing the preference to sync calendar events in iCloud preferences.  Once this is down enable the preference again and see if this resolves the issue.
    Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on:
    Quit Calendar (or iCal).
    Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then select iCloud.
    Deselect the checkbox next to Calendars.
    Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
    Open System Preferences and select iCloud.
    Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
    Close System Preferences.
    Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue is resolved.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
    If the issue persists, try all remaining steps in the article below.

  • Movies shared via iPhoto on iCloud don't play

    First of all I find it quite difficult to share (selfmade) videos wirelessly between my Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac). But there's an option to make a 'report' in iPhoto that can be shared with others via iCloud. But there seems a problem with videos. When opening the iCloud hyperlink they do show up but when opened most of them don't play. Earlier I got an error message but when I tried again they just don't play and I end up with a black screen. I made the movies on the iPhone so I guess this should work ... Quite dissapointing ...

    Purchased apps, movies, etc. do not count toward you maximum icloud storage.  Movies (from Apple) are stored on Apple's servers and you can download them to watch, but technically it's not in icloud, just the servers Apple uses to store them.

  • App/Game/Tune sharing from different Apple Ids via icloud - is it possible?

    Is it possible for one AppleId, via iCloud, to access apps/games/music etc that have been purchased with another AppleId? 
    We have 2 iPod Touch devices and now 2 iPad devices and I would like for my daughter's iPad purchases to be maintained under her own new AppleId.  I was hopeful that her iPad could access the apps etc that we've purchased on her iPod using a different AppleId.
    Can various Apple devices all share the same apps etc?
    Is this "do-able" or am I expecting too much of the almighty Apple?

    Yes, if you create 2 seperate user accounts.

  • Mail rules not copied to new MacPro via iCloud

    Hi All,
    I have a new MacPro that is replacing an older MacPro that was running Mavericks 10.9.5.  I also have a Macbook Air running Mavericks 10.9.5.
    For a host of reasons, I decided not to simply use Migration Assistant on this new MacPro, but to copy individual plist files for apps such as Mail.  The two plists that I was interested in recreating on this new setup were the MessageRules plist and the SmartFolders plist.  Interestingly these two kinds of preferences seem to be shared across MacOS devices via iCloud.
    However, in both instances (iCloud syncing or manually copying over the old plist file), I cannot get my install of Apple Mail to read the plists.  Nor are the shared preferences shared with this computer.  Apple tech support was not much help saying their hands are tied because of Apple Engineering.  Never heard that one before.
    Thanks in advance to whomever can spare me from having to manually recreate a hundred or so rules and 20 or so smart mailboxes.

    The messages coming to mail app. on my iMac & macbook pro were not showing up on my 5 devices if the sender had a "move to" a folder command on the 'rules' in Mail 'Preferences'.
    After trying every suggestion I could find on this forum in addition to some of my own, I realized the only thing that worked was my changing the "move to" command  to "copy to" command. This work around resulted in duplicating all the emails, one in the "inbox" and the "copied" one to it's proper folder ! When I proceeded to delete the emails from the "inbox" as I had set up the "copy to" rule and they were all in their proper folders. I came across another change to the mail system after iOS 8.1 ; if one deletes the emails in the "inbox" on the mac they get deleted across the board from all your devices and vice versa !! I was on telephone with Apple "Senior" techs for 2 frustrating days and eventually they said there is nothing they can do, it had been changed by the "Engineers", something to do with changing "pop" to "imap" protocol. Now I have to put up with all my email being in the inbox  with no option to organize them or delete them if I want them to appear on my devices. This is outrageous !!

  • The iWork Public Beta allowed me to share Keynote presentations with anyone via the web. How can I share a Keynote presentation online via iCloud? Must the presentation be downloaded to view?

    The iWork Public Beta allowed me to share Keynote presentations with anyone via the web. Now Apple tells me the Public Beta is being replaced by iCloud. How can I share a Keynote presentation online via iCloud? Must the presentation be downloaded to view?

    iCloud is not designed for sharing data with other people: you will need a third-party alternative such as DropBox or Sugarsync.
