What is icloud setup for Multiple users, multiple devices in family?

What would be the recommended setup for iCloud to allow family members with multiple devices and multiple iTune accounts to share purchases, sync there own mail account, contacts, and reminders with multiple devices, and be able to sync calenders with all family calendars? Or better yet how can family members pick and choose what to sync with a common iCloud account?

I'd like to know this to.
We have 1 mac mini that serves as a media station that streams audio to Zeppelin air and photos & movies to our TV.
My wife buys music on her iPhone. And takes pictures of the family.
I buy apps and music on my iPad. And make movies of the family.
I have a macbook pro ( itunes with home sharing, iphoto home sharing ).
She has a nice macbook ( itunes with home sharing, iphoto home sharing ).
What we would want is that the mac mini collects all music / videos / media and streams it to all our apple devices via wifi ( not via internet ). But I with my appleID and she with her appleID.
I wonder is Apple can make an GUInterface that I can understand to solve this.
This iCloud seems not too suited.
For families it would be easier if iOS5 would have 'home sharing' with upload and not transfer everything to CA first.

Multiple Users, Multiple iPods sync problem

At home my iMac is set up with multiple accounts for my family members, 2 have iPod Nano's and I've an iPhone. Each of us has our own iTunes library. Now, a lot of the time I will stay logged in and just return to the log in window. Same goes with the kids who do the same (Time limited accounts means this happens quite often as they don't get logged off automatically).
Up until 9.1 iTunes (I think, could have been 9.0) everything worked fine. I would leave my iTunes running constantly - this allowed me to stream over to our Airport Express units using the iPhone Remote app whenever I felt the need.... However, we've now run into a problem.
More often than not my daughter will log in, dock her iPod and it won't show up on her iTunes - instead I have to switch to my user account where I'll find it showing up on MY iTunes! I then have to shut down my iTunes to allow her to sync her iPod with her iTunes.
This didn't used to happen, it used to be that the user who was CURRENTLY logged on would get the plugged in iPod but that appears to be totally broken - I can't find any documents that say this is the way it was meant to work, searching the 'net for multiple users, multiple iTunes turns up so much that it's impossible to find any related issue.
Is anybody else noticing this? Am I doing something daft wanting to use iPods & iTunes like this? Any suggestions on how to fix the issue?
Thanks for any help!

But according to your post, other users are still CURRENTLY logged on.
Ok, so 'logged on' is vague, the other users are still logged on. I mean the user that has the desktop focus. The active user.
a lot of the time *_I will stay logged in_* and just return to the log in window. Same goes with the kids who do the same (Time limited accounts means this happens quite often as *_they don't get logged off_* automatically).
You can set System prefs - Security to log users off after xx minutes of inactivity.
Yes, you can, but that does not solve the issue on 2 levels:
1. If I did that then I couldn't leave my iTunes logged in to be able to stream from it to my Airport Express units. I'd have to manually go to the iMac and log myself in - which would kinda defeat the benefit of being able to control this all remotely as I've been doing perfectly happily for the past couple of years. 9 times out of 10 I don't want to be logged off for any number of reasons.
2. As I said, some members of the household have Time Limits on their accounts via Parental Controls. This does not log users off, it merely drops them back to the login window. There is no way that I know of setting this up to actually log off. As a side issue, it'd be great if I could specify that for certain members of the family who use up all their time and get pushed back to the login window with Flash games running in a browser window consuming CPU unnecessarily... but that's a side-issue.
You can send suggestions for iTunes here -> http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Um, ok, great, suggestion: Make iTunes work the way it used to work please . Seriously though, this is not a new feature request, I want to see if other people have experienced this and if there is a work-around out there.

Purchase iCloud storage for other users

Can I buy iCloud storage for other users?
Thank you.

To the best of my knowledge, purchased storage stays with Apple id it is purchased to. To the best of my knowledge, it is unlike itunes store, and is not obligated to comply with local laws/regulations for downloads.
I wish sometimes that people like you could create tips on do's and don'ts internationally, since we are all a bit shortsighted when it comes to Non our country situation. Unfortunately that tip here will die in the dark.
BTW, I think your switching store may backfire for you, but I am sure you were informed of that on the phone.
Question:
Is it possible to pay in EU for iCloud accounts valid in China (RMB) and in the US (USD)
They do not care( they will charge in acceptable units and card will take care of exchange rate), as long as card is accepted by corresponding store ( it is if it is on your file, and if not on file -you will find out as soon as you try to put it on it )
As in the end they will end up back in the EU.
What happens if you extend the storage in 1 country and then move to another country with a different currency and extend it again?
I think I already answered that one.

Team Calendar warning - No Team setup for the user in the selection period.

Good morning,
I am attempting to replace the older iViews (leaverequestapprover and teamcalendar) with the newer iView (approveleaverequest) which seems to combine the two functions.
When implementing the approveleaverequest iView, I get the following mesaage "No Team setup for the user in the selection period. Contact Administrator."
However, looking at the older Team Calendar iView, teamcalendar, I can see the team. Both iViews are assigned to the Team page for comparison.
Not sure what's wrong but I'm confident I have all the configuration correct else the test team members wouldn't be appearing in the older iView. I've read some other unanswered posts that asked the same question and rechecked all the objects people had suggested.
What's even more puzzling, if I have one of my managers submit a leave request to their manager, the approveleaverequest iView will show the entire team with the leave request for the manager waiting for approval.
I'm stumped and could use some guidance on how to get the team calendar to work.
Kind Regards,
Garrett Meredith

What is the password for 'oracle' user created during XE installation?

Hi,
What is the password for 'oracle' user automatically created when XE is installed?
I installed XE on Linux and it's created under 'oracle' user, but I don't know 'oracle' password. So, I cannot stop TNS listener.
During configuration, it prompted me to enter SYS and SYSADMIN password but it didn't ask me to enter 'oracle' user password.
Please let me know or point me to the document.
Thanks,
N

Hi Jari,
I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work unfortunately.
When I type (sudo su -oracle) as follows, it still prompts the password. When I hit Enter key w/o anything, it seems to proceed and the prompt shows up in the following line. So, I thought it was successful, but when I checked 'whoami', it's not logged in as 'oracle'.
So, I created the password for 'oracle' and logged in as 'oracle' using a new password. Then, I stopped TNS listener to uninstall XE.
It would be nice if it's documented in XE document somewhere... since it's created by XE installation, I assumed some kind of default password was used.
Thanks,
N

Hi petro_jemes,
Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
I hope this helps.

HT4759 what are the limitations for PC users using iCloud?

I am considering iCloud for storing music, photos etc. Are there any significant limitations for PC users? Our family employs a mix of Apple and PC devices.

Of course, iCloud does a better job on Apple devices like iPhone, iPad and Mac, because it seamlessly works with the pre-installed apps like Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes etc., but you could also use some of the features on a PC. This guide shows you, how you could set up iCloud on a PC: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
On a PC you sync iCloud Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks via Outlook, snyc Bookmarks and Photos.
Some other Services like iWork apps (Numbers, Pages and Keynote) or Find My iPhone are missing, but accessible through the website www.icloud.com (new Chrome or Firefox needed)
By the way, iTunes is still needed for managing your music library.

One Computer, Multiple Users, Multiple iTunes Libraries

Hello
My family shares a single Mac via Fast User Switching. We all have separate iTunes libraries. I had some difficulty getting TV to be able to use all of the iTunes libraries as alternate sources for streaming music. I'm posting this here as I've noticed a couple of questions here about it with no solutions.
The symptom is that you are able to add the multiple libraries to TV by entering the passcode in iTunes but when you try to the new source, it fails to load the library. 'Loading <library> name ...' goes on forever or eventually gives up and then the library appears grey in the source list and you have to go through the registration process again. Music sharing appears to work between copies of iTunes running on the same computer.
It's a firewall problem.
It seems that iTunes choose a new TCP port to share each different library. For me it seems to allocate ports in the 4915x range. I can't find any documentation about this. The ports are not listed in the well known list for Apple products. I discovered it because the Windows version of iTunes has an informative error message that tells you to check that a particular port is open in the firewall for the particular library when it fails to load it.
To fix it you just need to open these ports in the Mac's firewall. After that, provided all the users remain logged in with iTunes running, you will be able to stream their libraries.
I hope this helps others to get it working more quickly than I did.
I see that there are some Apple employees participating in these discussions. If you see this, maybe you could modify the documentation? Or add the solution to the How-To pages? I'll submit some feedback anyway.

I wrote a simple shell script that executes each time a user logs in (well, actually, each time I log in, coz' it's not really applicable to other users). It syncs my work and home addressbooks and iCal calendars to one another.
I named it "sync". Then I read somewhere that if you wanted to make it double-clickable (to launch it from the Finder), I appended a ".command" filename extension (so it's now named "sync.command"). I also did a chmod 755 to that file so that it had execute privileges. Depending on whether you give each user their own copy of this thing, or keep a single copy in, say, the /Users/Shared directory, you may have to play around with chmod. Whatever, just so long as the user that has just logged in has execute permissions to the file, and to the entire path to the file, you should be good.
Then, in SysPrefs > Accounts > Login Items, I added that "sync.command" file to the list. So, really the only difference is I'm not wrapping mine inside an Automator script like you are.
I had tried adding it to ~/Library/LaunchAgents and make a launchd plist for it, that would kick it off at login. But I didn't get that to work. Don't know why. But just adding the double-clickable executable unix script to the Login Items list did the trick. Whether the plist has to hang out there with it, I don't know. I still have it there, though, in case I ever get motivated to figure out what's wrong with my launchd plist file. So, if just adding it to the Login Items list doesn't do it for you, you could try making a (functional?) launchd plist for it and plopping them both in ~/Library/LaunchAgents, too. That's how I am now, and, like I said, it launches at user login as that user's process (not as a root process like the above referenced article said how login hooks worked -- although, you may want it to run as root since you want this to work with multiple users...in which case, you might want to listen to Cole and not me...).

What is icloud good for?

I don't quite get it... What is icloud really good for? And why should I prefer it to Dropbox?

iCloud is good at keeping your email, contacts, bookmarks, calendars synced across multiple devices. Say you get a new iOS device or Mac, log into your iCloud account and everything is synced to the new device. iCloud has some features that are like Dropbox, but very limited. Photostream is one and Documents and Data shared across devices. I think iCloud is headed in the right direction and one day, we won't need to use Dropbox. In the meantime, iCloud doesn't match the ease and functionality of Dropbox as far as sharing files go.

ICloud setup for Family to only share Apps

Okay, so I've tried reading through several different articles to figure this out but I'm not getting anywhere so I'm hoping there's somewhere here with a similiar setup that can just give the basic setup. So here's what I want to do, I want to be able to setup icloud on each of my families devices so they are backed up into their own accounts but I also want to make sure that App's are shared across the devices. Here's the setup that I have:
1. For Myself I have an iPhone and a iMac
2. My wife has an iPhone and a Macbook
3. My son has a iPad
Now right now everyone is linked up to my Apple ID since that's the account in which all the Apps are purchased and the billing information is linked up to. I want to setup each device with an icloud account as well so our informaiton can be backed up but I don't want information crossed over between devices (for example I don't want all the contacts from my wife's phone on my phone nor do I want our messages sharted on my son's iPad). I'm not sure on how I can go about this since right now each device is hooked up to my Apple ID (so we can use the Find my iPhone app as well for each device) so I don't know if I create a separate account for everyone if that will still work or if I need to know each login and password. I also want to setup a icloud e-mail account that I can use for the iMac and my iPhone only, and the same setup for my wife and her Macbook. Any help would be great, thanks.

To avoid sharing and merging your iCloud data, you will need to put each person's devices on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID. You can continue to all share the same ID for iTunes; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.
Creating separate accounts will keep everyone's iCloud data separated, and give each person's devices their own 5GB of free storage for their device backups, and a separate iCloud email account/address. However, Find My iPhone (iPad, iPod, Mac) is tied to the iCloud ID so they cannot be tracked together on the same map. You will have to sign into each iCloud account separately (on icloud.com or the Find My iPhone app) in order to locate devices using that iCloud ID.

Multiple users and devices, one account

I have an iPad 1 and iPod Classic. My wife has an iPhone 4s and an iPod Touch. Sonny boy also has an iPod Touch. They are all linked to my apple id and account. How do I separate the account so that we can each manage our own devices from our single PC?
Though my wife has her own apple ID and account, everything is apparently linked to my account.
How can I set things up so we each manage our own devices, libraries, downloads, and accounts?

Yes, it does. Method one. Multiple Windows User account - to create different Windows User account for your wife and you son. You already have your windows user account, you just need to add two more. - Go to Windows Control Panel, Users and add user.(remember to choose Administrator instead of standard user).
Each of you will log in to your own windows user profile to manage your own iTunes library, account and sync devices.
e.g. Windows startup screen for multiple User profile.

What is the SYNTAX for the user and group filters??? Is the HTML Ampersand token Amper A m p semicolon required in the filter

There seems to be quite a bit of confusion over the actual syntax for the user and group filters on the Forms Based Authentication Ldap Role and membership providers.. MSFT isn't really clear and there is a universal confusion in the blogsphere.
I the filters should the prefix be the ACTUAL Ampersand or the HTML token for an AMPERSAND.. I realize the in many cases the blogger might have inadvertently specified the html token when the bare naked ampersand was intended.. The question
therefore is : can a filter be taken directly from and ADSIEdit query and used as a filter or must the filter be made HTML safe by swapping out the AMERSAND with the HTML Token for AMERSAND before putting it into the configuration
for the LDAPRole/membership provider...
All science is either physics or stamp collecting

Hi GUYO,
I am not quite sure how we implement this on sharepoint side, as I did research and sharepoint may not have this feature to do this.
most of the LDAP for sharepoint may need to follow these steps in this article:

What is B2B setup for grouping transaction sets based on criteria.

Hi,
Oracle B2B offers a time bound Batching feature . However to handle following case such as Batching based on Order Number it is required to define the criterion.
Could you please provide the information on B2B Setup for grouping transactionsets based on input parameter(Invoice id OR Invoice Number or Payment ID ) passing from back end application(BPEL) to B2B.
For count based batching , my understanding is need to pass information in the format " <BatchMode>:<BatchID>:<Count>:<timeout>:" by parameters delivered with the IP_MESSAGE_TYPE construct. Which paramter of IP_MESSAGE_TYPE construct I have to use for passing the values to B2B in the format " <BatchMode>:<BatchID>:<Count>:<timeout>:"
I am unable to find Action name attribute of IP_MESSAGE_TYPE construct to pass the values. Please provide the required information.
Thanks&Regards,
Sridhar.Rachumallu.

Hi Anuj,
Thanks for the information.
ACTION_NAME attribute is not available with SCA. Three channels (Default,AQ,JMS ) are provided in B2B adapter for connecting to B2B. Which one supports action_name attribute?
Design Time:
Presently by using 'Default' channel of B2B adapter i am connecting to B2B. I am unable to pass the value for b2b property "ACTION_NAME" because invoke activity does not has respective sca normalized message propertie "b2b.actionName". So i am adding input property tab in .bpel file under corresponding B2B Adapter invoke tag as given below.
<invoke name="Invoke_Put3070EDI820"
inputVariable="Put3070EDI820_InVar"
partnerLink="Put3070EDI820"
portType="ns1:B2B_send_ptt" operation="send">
<bpelx:inputProperty name="b2b.toTradingPartnerId"
variable="Variable_TargetTPartner"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="b2b.fromTradingPartnerId"
variable="Variable_SourceTPartner"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="b2b.documentTypeName"
variable="Variable_TransactionSet"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="b2b.documentProtocolVersion"
variable="Variable_EDIVersionNo"/>
*<bpelx:inputProperty name="b2b.actionName"*
variable="Var_B2Baction"/>+
</invoke>
Defined variable ' Var_B2Baction' as string and assigned the expression as "concat('D:',bpws:getVariableData('Var_B2BBatchID'),':2:60')" and composite instance id expression "ora:getCompositeInstanceId()"mapped to 'Var_B2BBatchID' in BPEL.
Run time :
In application message of B2B coming the value as "b2b.actionName=D:608469:2:60". Here count coming as 2 but B2B is not grouping 2 transaction sets.Creating one EDI file for one transaction set.
Why B2B is not considering incoming value "b2b.actionName=D:608469:2:60" for batching the transaction sets.
Please suggest me the correct approach if i am wrong.
Thanks&Regards,
Sridhar.Rachumallu

What is the process for transferring 2 lines from separate family plans and joining them in their own share plan?

I am part of a family plan (not the owner) and my boyfriend is part of a family plan, also not the owner of it. We would like to transfer both of our phones out of our family plans and do our own share plan together. What is the process for this??

Have each of the account owners contact Verizon to let them know that you will be doing an AOL on your lines. Then you call Verizon and explain what you want to do. Just that easy. But understand you'll have to get the new Share everything plan.
