There are three iphone users in my household but only one main computer. I am the primary users and have all my business contacts on my iphone and computerr. The other two in the household also have iphones with their own contact lists. is there a way to set them up so that we can share some music but not contacts. Aosl need to be able to back up their data which I presume would be through icloud and a separate iapple itues id. how do I go about setting this up?

There is only one solution. Each user must have their own separate user account. All of their respective data would be contained in their separate user accounts. This also means each will have a separate iTunes Library. If you all use the same third-party apps, then each will have to purchase their own copies under their own Apple IDs. Some data sharing is possible. See:

- You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
- Have you tried everthing here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You should

Your library/media will not be affected.
- Does the iPod charge?

HT1491 "Unkown Error(5002)". I have purchased a set of music albums and my Account shows that I have 322 files waiting to download. But they will not download - clicking download just produces this error message. How do I get round this?

HT201104 Can you sync contacts/calendar on ios 7 device after upgrading to iCloud drive?

I have an iphone 4 (ios 7, can't get 8). I don't care about accessing documents on iCloud drive with my phone.
I might want to do it with my ipad mini (ios8.1) though.
If I upgrade to iCloud drive will I still be able to sync contacts/calendar on my iphone?

I cloud drive IS not the SAME as I cloud you use for backups. I cloud drive is for moving docs, pics, etc. So if you upgrade to iCloud drive, yes you can still sync contacts, calendars, etc

My kids are linked to my itunes account. How do I set them up under their own accounts/credit cards without losing any of their music, apps etc?

Basically there are 3 users , each with their own iphones using the same username, password and credit card to purchase stuff. I want to give one of them their own personal account and a different card but obviously keep their current songs. They are set up as 3 different users on a Windows PC. Thanks all!!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your children are under 13, you should open 2 new accounts for yourself and let them use it. They can use these ID's for iCloud and so have their own email! contacts! calendars etc, but still share your original ID for iTunes for apps, music, etc. You can continue to sync them with your computer.

I don't have my contacts, calendar, etc. on iCloud, how do I move them from MobileMe to iCloud?

I had a MobileMe account. Now I have iCloud. But my contacts and calendar aren't synced on iCloud, I only have 1 contact, myself. Why isn't the account moving? I went to www.me.com/move , but it takes me to find my iPhone sign in, then I can get to iCloud from there, but i can't see a way to sync or move my old mobileMe account to the new iCloud.

I think I may have it....I signed on to my old mobileme account from my pc, i have a pc, iphone, and a mac....then i see the option to move it to icloud, I hope this works lol...thanks

We have three i phone users in our house with one computer to back-up or have i-tunes. How do three i-phone users use the same computer?

My husband, nyself and my son all have i-phones. We only have one computer to use and backup from itunes. How can we do this and keep each account seperate on itunes?

You could either set up multiple user accounts on the computer (an iTunes Library for each of you with your own stuff and iTunes Store login) or each of you remember to log into iTunes and log out each time you use it.

Can I use a different Apple ID for Find My IPhone and syncing contacts, calendars, etc?

I would like to use one Apple ID to sync all of my contacts and calendars, but I need to place the Find My iPhone functionality in a different Apple ID account. Is this possible? Ideally Find My iPhone would be the ONLY feature used by that account, not app sharing, store purchases or anything else.

To better describe what I am needing:
1. - iPhone 1
2. - iPhone 2
A. - Apple ID #1
B. - Apple ID #2
On 1. I need A for purchases and iCloud and B for Find My iPhone.
On 2. I need A for purchases and B for iCloud and Find My iPhone.
In addition, will iCloud store text messages?

On a ustream site, there are supposed to be four cameras shown. Only one shows. How do I get the other three to show?

I don't know how to explain further. Should I give you the site name so you can see what I'm talking about?

I have Flash set to "Ask to Activate". After approving it, I reloaded the page. There was a delay before the 3 Ustream cams loaded, and then I got overlapping car commercials, and then the attached.
So it can work, but I wonder whether one of your extensions could be blocking those other cams? You could test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Syncing contacts, calendar etc. to my iPhone.

I'm trying to sync my Outlook contacts and calendar to my iphone. ITunes appears to go through the entire syncing routine, but a number of new contacts entered on my iPhone do not get transferred to Outlook.. When I go to the iTunes guide, it refers to a number of buttons that are not on my iTunes, such as "Summary", "Info", "Sync" and "Apply". I've installed the latest iTunes - 11.0.2.26. Older iTunes versions worked fine for me.

Contacts, app data and settings, photos from the camera roll and much more are part of the backup. See this article for more info about the content and how to use the backup to restore your new phone again:

HT204150 icloud will not open any applicatons on pc. Contact, calendar etc.

icloud will not open any applications on pc. contact, calendar, etc.

I can use icloud.com in IE10 but the odd thing is that I believe iCloud in not compliant with IE10 and needs to run in Compatibility mode. But for some reason IE10 see's it as compliant. You can go into the Compatibility mode through Compatibility view settings and manually addin icloud.com. As for icloud in my opinion its really forgot about the rest of the world that does not use a Mac, iPhone or iPad. I cannot get the settings to work with icloud with any Android device, or using Chrome browser even though selecting display desktop site gets you a slightly broken icloud.com on Chrome browser in Android. Although many things dont work right. Same goes for IE10 as I have expieienced with crating a email message. It appears as though the backspace after the first line of a message does not work and I could not reposition cursor either. I am so glad I don't have to use icloud for much because I doubt I could deal with it as it is now. I guess another option is to try Chrome on your PC or Firefox?
Chrome should work as it is a WebKit based browser as is Safari. If iCloud works with Safari it should work with Chrome. But anymore their is no guarantee's.

Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac. We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes. How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac. We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes. How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

One Apple ID, two iPhones, same iCloud. How do I get rid of this without losing contacts, calendars etc?

Hi there, hope someone can help.
My mum upgraded about 18 months ago to an iphone 5 and to set it up we used my Apple ID as it was linked to my dads bank card. Had absolutely no problems with this, everything has maintained separate.
However when my mum decided to update to ios7 (and as she is a novice has not backed her phone up since upgrading) At first it appeared that when she updated she had lost all her contacts, calendars etc but this was restored through iCloud.
Now our phones appear completely linked. Eg when I receive a FaceTime call it goes to my mums phone as well.
So is there any way of splitting our iCloud account without having to lose all our data? Especially as my mum has months worth of business meetings. To make it worse we currently live the other side of the country from each other, so going to the Genius Bar seems rather pointless!
