Back to school with iPads: Make sure you set up your kids with THEIR OWN iCloud

This is a message that I keep repeating, because every week I deal with the mess that results from incorrect setup of iCloud.

It is essential that, when you set up your child's iPad, you DO NOT use your own Apple ID to sign in to iCloud.

iCloud Apple IDs are not meant to be shared - each person must have their own iCloud account.

Have you made the mistake of using a 'shared' Apple ID for iCloud? If you have, I highly recommend 'undoing' this before the school year gets under way. Not doing so may risk loss of your data, and issues with storage space, messages going to the wrong person, and much more.

For anyone who would like to better understand iCloud, iTandCoffee will be holding the Understanding and Using iCloud class on February 17th at 10:00am.

Attendees can receive one-on-one help with 'unravelling' their iCloud mess immediately after this class.

Of course, one-on-one help is available for you and your family - either in-home or at iTandCoffee. This can be especially necessary in cases where there are multiple devices that need to be sorted out! After hours appointments are available.
