Shared icloud problem:

I have an existing shared icloud by 3 people and I'd like to start my own without losing any of my files or any of the other two icloud customers that i share the account with. When I delete the icloud account on my device (as I edit the email account and password) do we lose all of the files in the original shared icloud? Secondly, do we have the ability to save all the files onto my ipad that exist in the shared cloud without losing anything?

I found a small clue as to why this may be an issue. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to fix the symptoms.
When we set up my father's account, I used my email address as the rescue address. I figured this was only used in case he needed to reset his password or whatever. He only has 1 email account, so we used my personal email address for the recovery account.
Somehow, I assume that Apple decided to use this address to identify him for iCloud stuff.
I changed his rescue address to another email address of mine that I use for work. The change went through over a week ago, but there has been no change in the problem for us.
I see that other people have clicked on "I have this question too" so I wonder if this is a somewhat common problem.

Should I switch from shared iCloud account with wife to two separate accounts with family sharing?

My wife and I have always shared 1 iCloud accpunt between our our 5s phones, iPad, and an old 4s which is now just a toy for our toddler. With ios 8 I am not sure if it is possible or practical any more. We do it to share purchases and the photo stream and a Google calendar.
With ios 8, it seems to be impossible for both of our phones to share their location. From what I can tell, only 1 device at a time on the icloud account can share its location. Is that a correct assumption? And icloud no longer gives the option for each of us to sign into separate itunes accounts on find my friends. We are forced to sign in with our 1 shared iCloud account. So we can no longer use find my friends to see each other's location.
So has ios8 rending sharing an iCloud account useless? I'm wondering if we now need to have separate accounts and link them with family sharing. Will we lose the benefits of having our 1 shared account? I just wanted to make sure we wouldn't lose anything if I set her up with a new account and linked it with family sharing.

I have lots of questions about this and other things too; I have been sharing my account with my wife and daughter for years through 10s of iPhones and iPads and with the introduction of IOS8 we are having lots of new and not so fun problems.
As to your question about location. I have three iPhones and one iPad using the same account now (on IOS 8) and all four devices show up with Find my iPhone. My wife's was not showing up today but I went in and turned on the new feature "Send last Location" and all of a sudden her phone was able to be found again. Not sure if that will solve your problem but just wanted you to know that I have the four devices all showing up in Find my iPhone with a shared account.

Some Emoji icons aren't anymore supported by shared iCloud calenders

Dear Apple Community,
since the "iCloud: Calendar and Reminders - 03/14/2012 17:00 PDT - 03/16/2012 15:30 PDT" (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/) server problem some Emoji icons aren't anymore supported by a shared iCloud calender.
F.ex.: If my girlfriend creates an event at her calender, which is open for me (via her iCloud account - I use my own iCloud/iTunes Account) with an Emoji icons in the title, I see a strange "?" in a triangle instead of the Emoji Icons. This happens f.ex. with the "Fork & Knife"-Emoji Icon. The "Heart"-Emoji Icon is shown correctly.
Any suggestions to fix this or is this an iCloud server bug?
In advance I thank you for your help!
P.S.: I already feedbacked it to iCloud Feeback. (http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html)

"�" this is the symbol which replaces some Emoji icons since the iCloud Calender Server Problem. (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/)

Error Message: "Calendar has unexpectedly stopped" while joining shared iCloud calendar.

When attempting to join a shared iCloud calendar from a family member, I receive this error message:
Calendar has unexpectedly stopped.
An unexpected error has prevented this application from working properly.
Details:
ERROR
SC.Store#find() must pass recordType or query
The details also contain a large amount of diagnostic information which I have sent to Apple.
Is there anything else I can do to prevent this error from occurring?

I'm having the same problem on my wife's computer. I successfully joined several shared calendars from my account, and suddenly started getting this message on the last one. I've tried again repeatedly over the last 24 hours, including sending a new invitation, logging her out of iCloud website, etc.
Did you find any resolution to the problem?

Is XML Publisher causing shared memory problem..?

Hi Experts,
Since this week, many of the Requisition/PO are erroring out with the below errors or similar to these errors:
- ORA-04031: unable to allocate 15504 bytes of shared memorny ("sharedpool","PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1APPS","PL/SQL MPCODE","BAMIMA: Bam Buffer")
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called.
-Error Name WFENG_COMMIT_INSIDE
3146: Commit happened in activity/function
'CREATE_AND_APPROVE_DOC:LAUNCH_PO_APPROVAL/PO_AUTOCREATE_DOC.LAUNCH_PO_APPROVAL'
Process Error: ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
Few days back we were getting heap memory error for one of the XML Publisher report.
I heard that XML Publisher requires lot of memory for sources/features,So I want to know whether XML Publisher can be one of the cause for memory problem to occur or this shared memory is not related with XML Publisher sources at all.
Please advice.
Many thanks..
Suman

Hi Robert,
Thanks for your quick reply...
Apps version: 11.5.10.2
database version: 9.2.0.8.0
As I am a beginner in this so dont know much about this.. Can you please guide me on this.
DBAs has increased the shared memory and problem has resolved but here I am more concrened whether the XML Publisher was or can be one od the cause for shared memory problem. Is there any way to check that or this occurs randomly and we can not check this.
Please advice something.

I'm assuming you have Photo Stream set up of both devices. However, it seems many users are experiencing the same as you - my take is that streaming photos is not foolproof yet.

How can I remove "invitations" from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?

How can I remove invitations from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?
My wife and I share our calendars and she uses it very frequently. Every time she enters a new event on her calendar I get a notice (invitation?) in the Calendar app, even though I am not invited to the event she created.
I would like to continue being able to share our calendars but I do not want the hassle of an Invitation popping up every time she enters an event.
Thanks!

You can sync photos and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time. When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

HT203521 In iOS8 I can't turn off shared iCloud calendar alerts. I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and am constantly getting their alarms for upcoming appointments. Settings- Notifications- Calendar- Shared Calendar Changes turns off changes only.

Have had new iPhone 6 for 2 months, using iOS 8. I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and I am getting bombarded with their upcoming appointment alerts. There seems no way to turn this off. I went to Settings->Notifications->INCLUDE(Calendar)->Shared Calendar Changes and turned everything off, but this only blocks alerts about new events or changes to events being added to the calendars, it does not block the 5-minute/10-minute/etc. alarms that go off immediately in advance of the appointment. There used to be a setting in iOS7 in "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars" way at the bottom to turn off alarms from shared calendars, but I don't see that in iOS8. Any ideas?

Finally figured this out when I read jodiemcneill 's post about Google calendars. Thanks!
Reposting the basic idea: to turn off event alerts from shared ICloud calendars, select the Calendar App, then click the "info" (i.e., the circled red 'i') icon next to the shared iCloud calendar to be silenced. Go down to "Notifications" and turn the slider off for "Event Alerts: (Allow events on this calendar to display alerts.)"
For good measure, you can also turn off the slider for "Show Changes" to prevent the calendar from displaying messages when shared events are added/modified/deleted, although this can be done "globally" for all shared iCloud Calendars in Settings->Notifications->Calendar->Invitations (turn off all sliders, click "none" for Alert Style).
This has been a major pain in the ... neck ... for the past 3 months. So glad to start the new year with a suddnely-much-quieter iPhone 6.

I have an iphone 5 and ipad 3 - I went to the Apple store and tech unable to sync them. Suggested it was an icloud problem and needed to go online to get it solved, but first to back up phone. I have done this now. Help please.

I have an iphone 5 and and ipad3 which I wish to sync.
I went to Apple store and tech unable to do this - wasn't happening and said there was an icloud problem and to go on line to find out, as they didn't do icloud issues in the store.
I've backed up my phone in the meantime.
I want to be able to read my kindle books and access contacts between these items.
Another question, I brought more icloud storage, but iphone is not saving to icloud as well.phone will not back up as says not enough storage - keh?
Appreciate any assistance on these two things.
I have another appointment with Apple store end of this week.
Last time they also said I may need to have my iphone replaced - this would then be my thrid iphone in 4 months! First iphone the camera didn't work (lucky I found out on second day and automaticallly replaced).
This iphone is doing black screens, will not ring (despite techy trying to get phone to ring - YET the alarm works fine to wake me up). Phone vibrates but won't ring, even though set to ring.
Appreciate any help with icloud issue mainly.
I think I'm feeling a bit fatalistic I will end up with yet another replacement phone.
I am very disappointed as this is m first introduction to the iphone - not going well so far.
ipad 3 is great. Love it.

HT201317 How do you show the photo labels in iPhoto from an Album to shared iCloud folder?

I labeled an album of photos and shared the album on iCloud, I would like the labels of each photo to show up in the shared iCloud album, does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately photo stream and shared streams do not share your iPhoto comments.
If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.

DOWNLOAD PHOTOS FROM SHARED ICLOUD

How do you download photos from 5S shared icloud to your pc?

Hi PINK64,
Once you have put files - including photos - into iCloud they can be made available to iOS devices, Macs and Windows computers. For photos, one way is to use iCloud Photo Sharing. See this article -
iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

HT2513 Events added to shared iCloud Calendar first

When I have a shared iCloud calendar, any event I add to my calendar gets added to the shared calendar first, even if I have my default calendar set to something else. This is really annoying as other people are being notified of all meetings, even if they don't have anything to do with them.

Hi thewomandirector,
For calendar events that are not syncing from your iPhone to your iMac, I recommend this troubleshooting article:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999
I recommend troubleshooting the iMac first and then, if necessary, the iPhone. You can also check iCloud.com to see if the iPhone-added events are making it that far.
Cheers!
