Best way to set up multiple iPhones within the family?

We have 3 iPhones in our family, and we always use the same Apple ID for all three devices.  I understand there was recently some changes to ios, and this strategy may not be the best way to have things to put in place now.  I started seeing a strange behavior between phones, with calls/texts appear on the phones of other people.  Doing some research, it seems that perhaps we should all have separate Apple ID and then go the family share the road, so I was hoping someone could explain clearly how can I do to set this up.

Right now I have my ID Apple we use for purchases, and it seems that we use an old account @me.com for our iCloud account... which I suppose is what has allowed us to share calendars, see all our devices to find my iPhone, etc.  My ID Apple is not the same as the address of the iCloud account.

I work in it and myself usually as a guy... pretty strong goal, I will admit that all these Apple and iCloud IDs confuse me... so any help is appreciated.  My main goals here are:

  • Be able to see the locations of all the people of my family
  • Have no other phone calls/texts/etc
  • To share and be aware of purchasing iTunes on all devices
  • I have set up, Music Match on my Apple ID (I think...), so I don't want to lose this functionality across all devices
  • Share a family calendar that we do today (and I hope not to lose what is currently implemented)

Thanks in advance!

Add to this... I just looked at the option icloud on my phone and it shows my address @me.com as a principal and an address of @icloud.com as a verified.  My apple account is my gmail address, and my wife and daughter use their gmail as their primary e-mail accounts.

So I was wondering if I should put in place of the apple for each of them using ID addresses gmail... then we would all have an identifier associated with our gmail addresses apple.  If this is the case, how to set up the account icloud?  I can leave it like that, or should I set up with my gmail account, as my apple ID?

  • Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

    Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

    I'm going to assume that you plan to have wireless devices.

    Let's say that the Capsule is your "main" router  If this is the case, then it must be located in the House, so that the distance between the time Capsule is the same for the outside walls of the House.

    Then, on the 'left' side of the House, looking for an airport to midway between the Capsule and time of the outer wall of the House. Do the same thing the 'right' side of the House.

    In other words, each of the two airports that "extend" the wireless signal are located at equal distance from the Capsule of time... but they are in opposite ends of the House.

    If you intend to interconnect all the airports and Time Capsule using a permanent, Ethernet wired... which by far is the 'best' way to put in place a network in terms of performance and reliability... then you can locate one of the devices anywhere you want.

    Archive messages or move them to some other local mailboxes or mailboxes on the server. Don't know what you are trying to do because it appears that you have 2/3 of your hard disk.

    Why do you think archiving emails in 2 places? Where are you trying to save space to?

    What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

    RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
    Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
    no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
    companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
    because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
    more seamlessly.

    Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
    what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
    original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
    your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
    attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
    also have a solid plan of external backup in place.

  • The best way to set default styles in the libraries of widget for use by the public?

    I am putting together a code to go with my blog, and it will include a custom component. I would like to than the default component to use a style that I set, but I also want the user to be able to replace it easily. Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do it?

    I see that the range slider [url http://www.jidesoft.com/blog/2011/10/04/meet-our-first-javafx-component/] of JideSoft we explicitly setting the skin in code in their example. Ideally the end-user would not do that. So, what is the best practice? Should I create a skin for my component and then set the style in my code? Should I set a basic style sheet that somehow always is imported, etc.?

    Essentially, I want to have my base of work styles in the same way that caspian.css is - is possible?

    I gave a talk at JavaOne on creating custom controls, perhaps the slides can be useful in answering some of your questions. I blogged about my three talking:

  • Best way to set up 6 1 TB SATA disks for ESXi performance than

    Hi, the ESXi server must run a large number of different virtual machines at the same time and trying to figure out the best way to install the drives.

    Should I configure RAID 10 and use to install ESXI and VMs.

    A mirror then the other two for the swap file.

    or

    RAID configuration 10 for ESXI and VMs and then use the other two as JBOD drives and distributed the files for the exchange between these two drives?

    You can probably do so because of SATA for some time provided you get the hardware RAID with a BBWC map.

    If you are using a sata controller not expensive or one without the same dough RAID 10 is going to be pretty useless after about 4 VM.

    I build and run on the controllers to the House and it just was not worth the power used to run the commands, even in RAID 10.

    Ended up buying the battery off ebay for $150 and then it was usable...

  • Need advice on the best way to set up a 6 nic Server

    I have a server with 6 cards.  Looking for some suggestions on the best way of provision.  We use the software iscsi client.

    Here's what I think to do:

    0/2 NIC (one onboard and a pci): VmNet

    1/3 network interface cards (one on board and a pci): vmkernel: vmotion/service console

    approx 4/5 (pci): vmkernel for software iscsi

    Is there a better way to do it?  It's just the way I'm used to doing.  It would be nice to maximize the number of ports used for iSCSI.

    Thank you!

    -shane

    Tough call...

    If you lose the management network, HA will cause a failover.

    If you lose the iSCSI, all virtual machines fail, but HA will not switch.

    If you lose VM network, all communications from the virtual computer fail, but HA does not tip over.

    If it was me, HA failover is a better option than full scall VM failure or net VM...

    But now, you will get twelve opinions on which is better.

  • What is the best way to import and export images from the 5 d Mark II?

    Hello

    I have just finished what I plan my first masterpiece of shooting film.  Shot on the Canon 5 d (1080 p, 24 fps), and the film looks amazing.  Now, I'm ready to start editing and now use creating lately, but I still have to figure out the proper conduct.  I want to know the best way to keep the resolution before I dive into this project.

    My questions:

    (1) what is the best way to start a new project and import the images without having to make while editing, in order to keep all the resolution and the originality of the source footage?

    (2) what is the best way / codec / format to export these images even once done editing to maintain than crisp 1080 p for which the 5 d is therefore counted?

    (3) what is the best way / codec / format for import and export / rendering between the first and after effects?  I speak especially of Visual effects and color correction.  I also a few sequences of 30 images per second that I intend to slow down in AE and then import into first.

    I know that it's wide enough, but as a solo Director I really need advice from someone.  Rarely, I finished my films with the same look crispy as images.  I need help of pipeline and really appreciate it!

  • What is the best way to work with Word documents in The InDesign CS4?

    I work in Microsoft Word 2007 and all my documents have.doc format.

    What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4?

    David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing (Ctrl + D).

    How to paste RTF or text Document?

    I want to do a book layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with the text and the right - with graphics.

    So, if I understand correctly place the text on each page I create for example 70 Word documents and place each element on 70 pages left?

    He loks like wasting time. I have supplements another way to make such provision?  What kind?

    It is best to place any text.

    You can have all your text in a single file and debit allows you to add text, images and pages as necessary block (hold down the SHIFT key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it is somewhat atypical for the thread on one side of the spread in the perspective of automatic flow, so you don't have to set up properly.

    It is a case where a block of text that you type will work to your advantage. On your master page, add a text block to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not donned one to the right - for another project you can actually two threads of independent text). Hold the cursor of the load on a frame on the left side of a page document and auto-flux. ID will add new spreads as needed, but only to put the text on the left side.

  • Best way to put music on iPod to the customer?

    Recently digitized music collection of the client. We have it in a separate iTunes as aac files library. We'll buy a new iPod to get the collection. What is the best way to manage the entire to the top of the new iPod? We need to create a new iTunes account with a disposable email for him? Must we turn right under one of our accounts and transfer it somehow to him?

    Thanks for any advice.

    CJ

    iPods sync only to a single computer at a time. Your customer has a computer? If so, give him the files he can take home, do his own Apple ID and put iTunes on his own computer, then it can synchronize music on himself. (or if it's a laptop see if he can bring it you can do it for him)

    If it is not a computer and has nothing to sync the iPod to then make its own apple ID with some disposable addresses - hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc. and make sure you give him this address and the password. then sync the music on it.
