Sharing on all devices with 2 iCloud acct, we would like notes and such to show up on all devices (2 iPhones iMac macbook )
my wife and i have two different icloud accts and we would like to share info on all our apple devices.
If you want to keep separate iCloud accounts and still share some data, you can do this by adding each other's iCloud account to your devices as a second ("secondary") account. Secondary accounts can sync mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.
To add your wife's account as a secondary account on your iOS device, for example, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter her ID and password. Then, to sync her notes, turn Notes on in this secondary account.
To add her account to your Mac as a secondary account, go to System Preferences>Internet Accounts (or Mail, Contacts & Calendars)>iCloud.

I created a folder from my camera roll and shared with my icloud acct, can't figure out how to access it from my computer? I log onto icloud and can't find anywhere where "shared" photos are..
You need Mountain Lion (10.8.2 or higher) and iPhoto '11 (9.4 or higher) or Aperture 3.4 to get shared photo streams on Mac.
Another option to transfer them is to either import them to iPhoto using your usb cable, as explained here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, or to us an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your Mac over your wifi. (PhotoSync will also transfer albums, not just photos from the camera roll.) -
Why when I try to sign in to Find my Friends does it tell me I cannot as my iPhone is not supported with free iCloud service? I do not use find my friends on another device.
So, have you created an iCloud account and is your device connected to iCloud?

I have all my devices connected to iCloud. I would like a reduced contact list on my iPhone without removing any from my master list on my computer. How do I delete contact numbers from my iphone without disrupting the master list on my computer?
Are you trying to reduce the visual clutter on the phone, save space on the phone, or limit the security exposure if your phone is stolen?
If you are only wanting to reduce the visual clutter and make scrolling through the list faster, you could set up a group on the computer containing only the contacts you want to see on my phone (called, for example, "Show on my Phone") and enable only that group inside Contacts on the phone. You might even have one or more existing groups that you could enable that way (maybe "Family" and "Personal"). -
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.

I share a itune account with my mother. I would like to set up my own itune account keeping all my info and library from my itune account. How do I go about setting up my own account without affecting her account and her itunes? It seems if she gets a new app it appears on my phone and visa versa. After I change my account will there be a problem syncing it with my phone and ipad?
Welcome to the Apple community.
The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it. -
I'm currently sharing my apple ID with my wife. We'd like to create a new ID but are unable to associate her existing email address to a new apple ID. Is there a way she can maintain her existing email address while creating a new apple ID?
Leave her ID alone and create a new one for yourself with your email address.

I have a PC desktop and an iPad. I have a large library of PDF documents on my desktop that I would like to sync with my iPad. I would like to be able to download new PDF's and make edits on existing PDF's on either device and have those edits and new PDFs synced to the other device. I would also like to have my library available on the iPad even if there isn't a wifi connection (i.e., not on the cloud). Is that possible. I don't mind if I have to purchase a separate product or a product upgrade ect.
You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Yesterday when I opened up the iPhoto (which I have it in my external drive due to the size of file) I get the message that it is not compatible with the new system(or something like that) and ask me to upgrade so I did. Then another message pops ups and asked for rebuilding the Thumbnails. So I clicked rebuild. Next it asked me to do one of three things(I can't remember all of them) so I chose the last one which is to download a photo to iPhoto. Now I only have that photo I downloaded in iPhoto file but not the rest of my pictures. The iPhoto library which is stored in my EHD shows it has 349GB but it only show one thumbnail of the last picture I downloaded after the rebuild process. What can I do to recover the rest of the file?
Thanks for your help.

I can no longer access my mac mail in the Mail program - only on icloud. I would like to have both my aol account and mac account in one place like it was. Anything I can do?
iCloud's mail server settings are different from MobileMe's. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
iCloud cannot access your AOL account (the MobileMe facility for checking external POP accounts does not exist in iCloud) - you will have to do this in the Mail application in the usual way. You could of course set up forwarding from your AOL account to iCloud (assuming they provide this facility) but you will not be able to reply using iCloud's SMTP server with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address. -

You can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
