Syncing of game centre between family members

My husband has the iphone 4s and my son has the ipad mini. they both have separate icloud accounts, But now their game centre has mixed up all their games. When one logs into their game centre they have the other one's games on their system. This is very frustrating because they have played a lot on these games. Does anyone have any solutions?

Can data from Apps be shared between family members with iCloud Family Share?

I'd like to know if data from Apps can be shared between family members with Family share in iCloud

no, unless the app has a sharing setting.

Can I share an iCloud photo library between family members?

I am searching for a good photo and video backup solution for my entire family. Previously I was backing up photos to a Windows Home Server that did a weekly backup to Amazon's cloud storage; however, the system disk on the home server blew up, leaving me with the choice to rebuild the server or alternatively look for a more seamless, lightweight solution. I have large quantity of photos and video on a home server data drive, as well as a large number of photos that have been recently scanned to my MacBook pro. We have almost completely transitioned to Apple products and use Time Machine for Macbook backups, so that function of the Home Server is no longer useful.
I like the concept of Apple's iCloud Photo Library; however, I need a solution that allows photos from at least my wife's and my devices to be seamlessly backed up to the library. We use different iCloud IDs. The ideal use case would be that photos taken on any of our devices (across a set of iCloud IDs) would be shared within a single library.
Family Sharing allows you to share a number of things across family members, but currently the photo library doesn't appear to be one of them.
Any pointers on how to proceed? Will the OS X Photo app and the move to bring iCloud library to the Mac make any difference? Any alternative solutions?

Someone else can probably answer the family sharing question better than I can, but I wanted to respond with an alternate suggestion. I didn't find the features I wanted in family sharing, so I didn't give it much of a chance. It did seem like you'd have a separate album for each family member.
I just recently started using Flickr and it's great. I looked into it a few years ago and there were limitations on how many MB's you could upload per day and I don't remember being impressed by the amount of free storage. Now Flickr gives you 1000 GB for free and stores the image in the original quality and size. If you download the Flickr app on your phone, you can set it to automatically upload all of the new pictures on your iphone, ipad, etc. If you and a family member share a Flickr account, you can both auto sync your camera rolls into the same Flickr account.
Personally, I'm using Flickr as a way to automatically back up photos for free. I quickly ran out of free icloud storage and I haven't wanted to pay for more.In Flickr, the auto uploads from your phone are set to private by default, but you could use flickr to share albums with friends who don't own any apple products... unlike icloud photo sharing, that only allows your friends with an apple device to view shared albums.

Can I share icloud drive storage between family members?

I am looking for easy offsite storage that can be easily accessed. I have been reading a bit about the icloud drive, and it seems simple to add and open files. Can I share the storage with my husband and his computer or not? We currently use carbonite as a backup program. Would icloud drive replace that?
Thank you.
Katie

iCloud Drive is tied one AppleID. If you want to share it, all family members would have to use the same Apple ID.
The only Family Sharing Apple Supports for family members with different AppleIDs is sharing your purchases: iTunes items, iBooks, AppStore Purchases, see: http://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/
But iCloud Drive cannot be shared between different AppleIDs, and it is also not meant to be a cloud backup.It is used to store your current working copies of your most important documents, that you need on all devices, and keep the documents updated on all devices.
See this link: iCloud Drive FAQ

Is there ANY way to sync app/game data between iPhone and iPad2?

I just got a new iPad and sync'd all my apps onto it however I didn't realize it wouldnt sync the game data (levels etc). I don't want to start from scratch on my games if I want to play them on the iPad.
It's not looking good for a solution but I figured surely someone has found or created something (don't understand why Apple didn't!)
The main app I want the app data sync'd on is Cat Physics.

It depends on the game - some will sync scores over Game Center or over their own server (the crossword puzzle app I use gives us two options - their own server or Game Center). You'll have to contact the makers of Cat Physics to find out - Apple did create this functionality in GC, but it's up to the developer to chose to use it.

Can I share books between family members with different Apple IDs?

I am trying to share books within my family as we were always able to do with home share in iTunes. Is this possible? I can phisically move the book file, but must sign in as my Apple ID on my wire's system, effectively removing her library from her iBooks and replacing it iwth mine. All I want to do is share the book I bought. How can I do this?

Thanks for the link. I looked at this and tried it and it sync'd my wife's iBook with my account, so she now had my Apple ID logged into her iBook. I'd like to be able to share my iBooks with her, but add them to her library as we were able to do with Home Sharing in iTunes. I want her to be able to use her Apple ID with iBooks, but be able to read some of the books I buy on my account. Does that make sense?
Thank you.

Can I play Game Center Games with other family members sharing one Apple ID

I have several IOS devices sharing the same Apple ID that my sons and wife use. I have set up a game center account using that ID and can find no way that we can play head to head games on those multiple devices against each other using that one Apple ID login, even if I create multiple Nicknames. Am I missing something?

An Apple ID is just an account that uses an email address and password. It does not have to be tied to iTunes. You can create one here. Create one each for your sons and wife.

Do you have to share stations in iTunes Radio between family members?

I just downloaded ios 7 for everybody in my family. I found out that all the stations that I make on my phone my dad also gets on his phone, and vice versa. Is there anyway to make this not happen?

I set up an account in my iPhone without a credit card or anything like that. The only thing that apple has of mine are an email address and my actual address. If that's what you want make sure you're not signed into any account in the app store on your iDevice. Find an app that you want that's free and hit install when it says create an account or log in hit create account. Fill out everything as you normally would but when you get to payment options under the credit card varieties there will be the various ones and there will be an option "none" just hit none and finish making your account and that's all you need to do. Keep in mind though that you will only be able to download free apps, if you would like to purchase them you would have to set up a credit card or something like that to your account.

Silly question, but can you share apps between family members (iPhone)?

My wife has just purchased an iPhone awaiting del.
Question
can you share your apps or not?
if she has her own apple id...
I would think not as I cannot seem to find anything to suggest it.
But thought i would ask the community.
and is there away around it??????????
thanks again

EDIT: It seems Apple have changed the AppStore Terms and Conditions since I last read them thoroughly.
Here's the relevant sections:
If you are an individual acting in your personal capacity, you may download and sync an App Store Product for personal, noncommercial use on any iOS Device you own or control.
You may auto-download iTunes Auto-Delivery Content or download previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers.
(ii) An Associated Device can be associated with only one Account at any given time.
(iii) You may switch an Associated Device to a different Account only once every 90 days.
(iv) You may download previously-purchased free content onto an unlimited number of devices while it is free on the iTunes Service, but on no more than 5 iTunes-authorized computers.

Syncing contacts and calendars among family members

My wife and I both have Air laptops, iPads, iPhones with our own account names and IDs etc. We want to "sync" our contacts and calendars without merging or complicating other material (such as email). How do we do that most easily? When I approach iCloud or Internet Accounts under "preferences", all sorts of threats appear about eliminating everything....

Can I share purchased ibooks between family members?

My daughter and I have ipads and I'd like to share ibooks...is this possible?

As long as both devices are registered to the same iTunes account and the book was purchased on that account-yes.
If you have different iTunes accounts, no.

Transferring iPhone between family members (same plan)

I searched for an answer to this, but must not be using the right search terms -- or, it's a non-issue, and therefore no discussions on it.
I have an iPhone 3GS (1 year left on contract), and my wife has an old flip phone (eligible for upgrade for a while now). We are going to be getting an iPhone 4 under her plan (since I'm still in my 3GS term), and then we want to swap phones -- she will get my 3GS and I will get her 4.
Questions:
1) This is supported by AT&T, right? I can't think why not, but wanted to make sure.
2) How will we have to set up the SIM cards in both?
3) Can I just register hers under my account, or since when we order it, we will order it through her account, and therefore will already be connected to her account?
4) Will I have to get a new sim card for my 3GS for her, or can she just use the one in her current old flip phone? I believe they're the same size.
5) Due to this complication, am I better ordering this through AT&T and have them set everything up (both phones) when we get our phone, or will Apple store do better with this?
Thanks in advance.

No problem at all. Order the phone with her upgrade. It doesn't matter whether you buy it online through Apple or at their store or and AT&T store or best buy or walmart. Once you have the new phone take it to an AT&T Store and they will give you new sims for both phones. There is no charge for this if it is a corporate store, but an authorized retailer will charge you $18-$25 per sim.

Problems when iPod mini was transferred between family members

My father and I both have iPod minis. My father, after a few months, decided it was too hard for him to use, and subsequently gave the iPod to my sister. She doesn't have a computer of her own, and would like to use mine to keep her music on. The problem is, when I connect the iPod to my computer, it charges, but isn't otherwise recognized by iTunes. I suspect that this is due to the fact that my father had initally set it up with his laptop, and somehow it is already seen as being registered to a computer that will no longer be using it. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Two other semi-related problems:
* I downloaded a song for my sister, but using my own iTunes account. I want to play this song on her iPod, but again, it won't be recognized by iTunes.
* She wants to change the name of the iPod (minor, but still an issue). How can you do this?
Any help would definitely be appreciated.

I just fixed this problem. Apparently, after reformating the iPod completely (via the computer, not via the manual way to do it on the iPod itself), it allowed me to change the name and register the iPod on this computer.

I have multiple lines for family members on my account. Can I still transfer upgrades between lines? I don't see the option any more.

More everything. I have one line coming up on the 19th of this month and I'd like to transfer to another user with a later upgrade date. Just not seeing the option anywhere.
