Hi John,
The thing to remember is that IOS assumes that a single person uses the device (phone or iPad) so each person has their own Apple ID. Apple recognises that often more than one person uses a computer but expects that each person will have their own account – hence, as Peter says, if Julie has her own account on the Mac(s) and uses her own Apple ID on her phone and on her Mac account all should go smoothly. It gets more complicated if two people use the same computer using the same user account (ie without setting up accounts for each user) as that is not how Apple expect you to do things! Hope that makes sense.

If not, create one, then set it up with iCloud access for her, and make sure all the iCloud services you want to access are turned on. You then set up iCloud access on her iPhone to match. I’m sorry this is such a cut-down explanation, but a more detailed one would take much more time than I have at the moment. I’m sure once you get going it will all become self-evident.

I am not totally ignorant in the use of Apple computers but iOs is another story. My iPhone, laptop and iPad quite happily interface with the Mac Mini desktop, reflecting changes in calendar, Safari Bookmarks, messages, Arlo Security Camera, etc., but we can’t get the iPhone 12 Mini to do the same. Can someone please shed some light on this problem.
