I am the only one who actually administers this. The other 2 aren't very technical. Parents to same mobileme account and kid to her own family mobileme account for her own mobileme backup and sync to her Mac of contacts, iCal and Find my Phone. She syncs to her own Mac and user account for Music. All music bought under my iTunes account. This proved helpful for sharing over the network with iTunes sharing.<br /><br />The kids own mobileme account is nice for an online backup if they don't sync often and lose their phone. Contacts seem to be there main loss in that case and Mobileme allows for easy backup and restore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710205.post-3162059749850098342010-07-29T23:49:21.014-05:002010-07-29T23:49:21.014-05:00Thank you for crystallizing the options so clearly...Thank you for crystallizing the options so clearly.

All the documentation I've seen is very piecemeal (i.e., service by service).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
