2 issues:

I had a Family MobileMe account with 4 users, each with own username, but mine as the master account.

1) In order to share calendars/contacts, everyone synced devices to my master account. (if there is a better way so everyone can have own calendar/contacts with syncing of common events/contacts I'd love the idiot's guide).

2) I have just been notified I am over my "complementary" 5 gb limit and need to shring the backup size or shell out $40/year. Now if I need to, I am wiling to do this. Enter issue number 2...when asked on upgrading the storage I am prompted to enter my iTunes account with .me. Problem is my primary iTunes account where all my media resides precedes the MobileMe/iCloud. So, should I kick everyone top their own account for backups? If so, then I need to resolve issue #1 because you can't back up different data on the same device to different accounts.
