Okay, I know I'm not alone here because I've found a few other threads with similar but slightly different questions.
My wife and I are currently using one AppleID/iTunes account for sharing of app purchases. From what I understand, we can continue to do this no problem.
Also, from what I understand, Facetime and iMessage have seperate settings panels and we won't need to worry about getting each other's messages.
But here's what I want to do, and I'm curious if it'll be possible (and how):
1. Share photos via iCloud together and with our computer. If I take a photo, she will see it in her stream. If she takes one, I will see it. Both of our photos will sync to iPhoto on the Mac.
2. We want to be able to share reminders, but not necessarily EVERY reminder. She doesn't need popups showing up on her phone every time I need to be reminded to do something at my job and vice-versa.
3. We want to be able to see each other's calendars. We can already do this because we're synced to different google calendar accounts that we share with each other. Can we continue to do this? Will we need to change how?
4. We don't want to share contacts or e-mail, but we'll continue to use google here as well if possible.
5. We will want to use separate Find my Phone and Find My Friends, so we can find each other!
6. As far as other apps that might sync through iCloud, I'm sure we'll want to sync some but not others with each other.
Additionally, we have an iPad. It is more important that it is synced with ALL of her stuff, than it is synced with any of my stuff. But again, we'd like to sync at a minimum all of our photos together and some of our reminders.
Is all of this possible? Will I need to create separate iCloud accounts for each of us?
Thanks!
