Sharing home movies with family on iCloud

Hello All,
Can some one tell me if this is possible... I want to upload my home movies (about an hour and thirty minutes) to the cloud. Then I want some of my family members (who live in different locations) to be able to download these home movies onto their computers or just watch them from the cloud on their macs and windowns computers. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Mike

Not with iCloud. You could use something like Dropbox and put in a public folder.

Sharing iTunes movies with family member

Hi everyone and thank you in advance if you can help me at all.
At home my partner and I share my MBP (using only one account), which contains my iTunes library that I use with several of my own devices (ipad, iphone, ipod). My partner is going to buy an iPad this week and I want us to be able to share TV/Movies whilst maintaining separate iTunes libraries on the MBP (we have very different music tastes and do not want to 'pollute' each others' libaries). Any future TV/Movies purchases will not be made from a shared itunes account - in case we break up we'd want to walk away with our respective movies.
Apart from creating a new user account on the MBP for my partner and re-locating both iTunes libraries to the shared 'public' folder so that we can manually add movies and TV to our individual iTunes accounts (which seems like a clunky and hard-drive consuming solution) I'm not sure what to do.
Is there another way?
Thanks
Carrie

Hi bcarrie,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The method you mention above is the best way to share your iTunes libraries:

The other option would be to backup the iTunes library to an external drive, and then copy it to the new User Account if you want to develop the two libraries independently.

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.

Itunes 12 can't import shared home movie to iTunes library

HI. I am trying to import, or add to my desktop iTunes library, a shared home movie. I have file sharing turned on with both my laptop and desktop. I can see, from my desktop, the shared home movies, and I can even play them, but I cannot find an option to import them into the desktop library. I use my desktop to sync my iPad and ultimately I want to add the movies to my iPad. How do I import a shared home movie from my laptop to desktop, not just see it and play it from sharing?

Join the crowd. If you search this and other forums on the web, you'll find that Home Sharing has limited functionality on PC and Mixed PC-Mac networks. It works fine, Mac to Mac, it appears, but PC's seem unable to talk to Macs or one another on many, many, many people's home shared networks. I hope that Apple finds a way to improve this aspect of iTunes or at least expands its troubleshooting recommendations in the support database.

my friend shared a video with me on icloud photo sharing and then she deleted it from her camera roll, how do I save it???(very urgent)

DVDs are encoded into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD back to something else. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
Here are the details.
1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
8) Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
11) Open iMovie.
12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

Welcome to the Apple Community Diane.
I find that shared video can be troublesome, a few haven't appeared to work as you describe but have done when I've looked at a later date. Hopefully they will work if you give them a bit longer. perhaps it would be a good idea if you make sure they are working before deleting them from the camera roll.

HT204486 Sharing Photo library with family members with different iCloud accounts?

How might one share Photos library with family members with their own Apple IDs?

I would try the following:
1. Create a smart album. Match condition as "Album" is "Any". That should capture all your photos and videos as of now.
2. Share that Album via iCloud photo sharing, sending invitations to the family members.

Need help sharing Home Movies in movies not movies in photo

I edited a video in final cut pro and now imported it through itunes into my iphone so i can airdrop to clients with their iphones. I can not share any videos in HOME MOVIES in the video section. I can only share videos from the photo section from the camera. and i had no sussess importing the video into the photo section. I have been beating my head trying to find a easy way to share my videos to other iphones. Please help. John

This is something you would need to check with the Sony instructions. I would have expected you to need some software provided by them to enable this (though usually they don't provide Mac-compatible software or equipment).

What mac mini should i get to edit 1080p dslr (Canon 60d) home movies with imovie

Hi
I have a lot of 1080p (25fps) footage from a Canon 60D dslr (SD card) and footage from an old Sony MiniDV (firewire). Which I want to edit down.
I have two monitors24" Full HDs, so am looking to get a Mac Mini to do this editing (using Imovie). I dont need fcp. Its purely editing down footage into short home movies..
Out of the two mac mini's (the one with the Radeon HD and the one with the slightly slower i5 and Intel HD 3000 graphics) is it worth the extra £200. Or will the $699 model do the job?
I'm unsure if the GPU & RAM increase will make a noticable difference. I have no problem upping the ram myself.

Any of them will be fine for what you what you want. I have a 2009 Mac mini and it can handle FCP no worries. Make sure you get a decent hard drive and memory though. Although you may just want to run iMovie, final cut pro is very good and easy to use. I use the mojo plugin by red giant which does wonders for skin tones.
I use canon 7d video on mine

Sharing MobilMe movies with others

I recently shared a movie I made in iMovie '09 with friends. One friend and wife could not open the movie on their computer. One was using a Sony PC with Windows. His wife was using Vista. Neither of them could open the movie. Can anyone help with this so I could pass on advice to them as to what they or I should do?

They need to download QuickTime Player, which is a free download from Apple.

Family sharing add kid with already exists icloud account

I want to add my daughter. She is only 5, but i already create her an iCloud account even if she is always offline.
So if i want to add her in the family sharing, she's considered as an adult...
and if i want to create a "child" account from my iPhone, with an iCloud mail it's not possible because her iCloud's account already existe...
how can i do,
must i create an other mail (i don't want to, if possible) ?
Thank you

Hello,
you would have to edit her birth date, even if it is not possible right now to change it to her real birth date, but you could change it to 1/1/2001 which would consider her as child: http://appleid.apple.com

How do I share purchased movies with family members?

Can I share a purchased movie or TV show with other family members NOT using Home Sharing? Can I transfer the purchase (like a gift) to someone else?

If you've purchased it for yourself then it will be tied to your account - you can only gift items from within the store, not from your purchases. If you don't want to use home sharing (which you can use to copy content between computers) then you should be able to copy them onto, for example, a flash drive, authorise your account on the other computer and then add the film/tv show to its library via File > Add To Library.

Sharing Ipod content with Family members

We are a family of 6 - my husband has an ipod touch, my oldest daughter has a ipod classic and the new ipod nano - my youngest son has an ipod touch and ipod nano and my youngest daughter has an ipod classic and ipod shuffle. My question is how to share purchased material from itunes between all the ipods. My youngest daugter has a lot of purchased movies - my son has a lot of purchased games and we would love to share. Everyone has different ipod accounts due to gift cards they have recieved with their ipods. Is there anyway to link the accounts so everyone in our home can share?

One thing you left out, how many PCs are involved in all of this?
Also, how long has everyone had their itunes library, do they have a lot of times investing in ratings and play counts? The best way is to make sure all media is stored in one shared folder that all can access. But don't just move files around in windows explorer, or itunes will lose the paths to them.

Sharing Apple ID with Family

Hi all,
I have a little problem I hope you can help with. I have a few Apple devices in the family (iPhones, iPads, Mac's etc) and at the moment my perosnal email, SMS, calendar and reminders pop up on all devices. I would still like to share apps and music but I would very much like to keep everything else private as it is a work phone.
How do I solve this problem?
Best Regards,
George

On each device, make sure the AppleID you wish to share is assigned to itunes and app Stores (Settings App > iTunes&AppsStores), but not for other services such as iCloud, Mail, Messages and FaceTime. You may need to create an appleId for each of the family members for these functions.

Sharing a movie with another iPod synched with other account

I have purchased several movies in my own iTunes/OS-X account. My son just bought an iPod (with video capabilities) and wants to download and watch them on his iPod. He has his own iTunes/OS-X accounts on the same computer. I was able to sync his iPod with my account and transfer (copy) the movies to his account but this is redundant as we both now have copies of the movies.
Is there anyway to share movies/music/tv-shows across accounts on the same computer so that multiple family members (we know have 5 iPods/accounts) on the same computer can have the same movie on multiple iPods from multiple accounts?
TIA Krreagan
