Can i use iCloud like idisk

Will iCloud allow me to access my space in the cloud to use like I did with iDisk? I like to be able to upload files so others can download them. If that part of the iCloud is missing, it would be a huge bummer.

No: iCloud provides nothing like this facility. There are other services which may be suitable - this page examines some options:

Can I use iCloud like a mass storage device - pc free

I am living on a boat and I am using my iPad w a camera connector kit. Can I back up photos that won't all fit on my iPads internal memory(16G), using iCloud like an external hard drive? I don't have a pc w me and don't want one.

With iCloud and photo stream your photos are automatically syced to the cloud, but the photos will only stay in the cloud for 30 days which is enough time by Apple's standards to download them from the cloud to a mac or pc so I guess the answer to your question would be no, you cant use iCloud as a mass storage device.

Can I use iCloud as a web host

I have no knowledge of iCloud. I have never wanted to have all of my information "out there". So my question is two fold; can I use iCloud as a web host for a webpage I design in iWeb. I'd like to advertise my condo for rental. The second part of my question is; can I only store that portion of information on iCloud, or do I need to share all of my computer info?
Thank you.

No.
iCloud isn't like our old iDisk. It's more about connecting muliple devices to the same shared data.

Can I use iCloud Photo Library on just one of my Devices

I have an iPhone and an iPod touch. Can I use iCloud photo library on my iPhone and not on my iPod touch? Could I see them on my iPod if I do so?
The reason I am asking is because I have like 600 photos on my iPod and only like 50 on my Phone so I would like to put the photos from my phone onto iCloud Photo Library.

Anyone?

HT201269 How can I transfer photo's from one ipad to another. I believe I can't use iCloud as the photo's were originally synced to the ipad via iTunes's

I have some photo's on an ipad 2 that were put on there through syncing on iTunes, I would like them to be placed on my new ipad. I understand that I can't use iCloud ? Just to point out u no longer own the desk top pc from where I synced the original photos. Hope this make sense!?

First import the photos to a computer's itunes, then sync them to the other device.

How can I use iCloud to receive emails from my GMail account and when I reply, the reply email shows the email in which it was sent to, not the @iCloud address?

I have my GMail account forwarding my emails to my @iCloud.com account which I like, but when I reply, it shows my address as @iCloud.com instead of the email address that was originally addressed to. Anyway to have iCloud reply to emails using the email address in the original email?

You can't use iCloud's outgoing server to send with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address. On your Mac you can set Mail to use the GMail outgoing server with your iCloud account (but then you can just access your GMail there anyway, so there's little point). On the iCloud website you can't do this; there is no way of using your Gmail address.

My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?

My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?
We would like to have all our music, photos, etc. on the iPad - is it best to create a new combined Apple ID for the iPad and simply upload our music, photos, etc. via our laptop instead? Does this not then render the iCloud useless to us?

And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install. Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.

Can I use iCloud to store photos from iPhone and Mac?

I would like to use iCloud like Dropbox. I have photos that were taken on my iphone and photos that are loaded on my Mac from a camera that I would like to store in the Cloud. I would also like others be able to download their photos of this event to the same Icloud account. Is that possible?.

The only way you can store photos in iCloud indefinitely is if you add them to a shared stream. However, when you do this, the photo will be at a lower resolution than the originals.
My photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for all your devices to receive them. The only other photos in iCloud are camera roll photos stored in your backup. However, you can't see anything in the backup unless you restore it to your device. Also, if you delete the photos from your device and continue to back it up, the backup that contains the deleted photos will be overwritten by one that doesn't, and they wil be lost.

Can i use icloud for business

can i use icloud as a form of storage for mac computers for a small business as a way to share files sort of like dropbox?

No, use Dropbox, or SugarSync.
And think about the wisdom of 'free' services for a business.

Can I use iCloud as my library instead of using local storage? Would I be able to synchronize the music on my phone? and make CDs out of the my music in the icloud using itunes?

Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

Can i use iCloud for pages documents iMac?

can i use iCloud for pages documents iMac?

Hi lmdavis72,
It looks like you can.
From "iCloud: Documents in the Cloud overview"
You can download a document from icloud.com/iwork to your Mac or Windows computer, edit it, and then drag the revised version to icloud.com/iwork. It’s then automatically updated on all of your iOS devices. You can also drag an iWork ’09 (Keynote, Pages, and Numbers) or Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Word, and Excel) document created on your computer to icloud.com/iwork.
So it looks like it can go between iOS devices and your iMac.

I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.

No you won't necessarily lose your photos when upgrading but it's very very unwise not to back up first. Backing up is like using a seat belt in a car. You can drive without one for years and have no issues, but if you do have a problem the outcome will be a lot worse. So, too, with back ups. And upgrading is one of those times when the risks of a problem are higher.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

I left my ipod touch at a friends house. She doesnt have internet. So it's not connected to the internet. And I had never charged it so it's been dead for about a week now. Can I use iCloud while it's turned off and not connected? Like, will it show a message and ring if it's not connected to the internet and turned on? Please help me ): I really need to find it!!!

" Can I use iCloud while it's turned off and not connected? "
No.
"Like, will it show a message and ring if it's not connected to the internet and turned on?"
No.
There is nothing you can do other than look for it,

HT5132 can i use iCloud instead of MobileMe?

can i use iCloud instead of MobileMe?

iCloud can be used to sync your documents between iCloud-ready applications to your mobile devices, but you cannot use it to host web galleries. For this you will need to find a different host, for example the ftp-site of your internet provider. Export your web galleries to your hard drive and upload them to your new web host using ftp (I use Cyber Duck for this).
See Roger Wilmut's page (the last line on the page addresses links to photo galleries):
Migrating from Mobile Me:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/migrate/frommobileme3.html
And if you need a replacement for your iDisk, see this user tip by Winston Churchill:
Winston Churchill: Using iCloud as an iDisk:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2711
If you create your web pages with iWeb, you can still use the iWeb application, but you need to patch it a little, because iWeb references icons (arrows) on MobileMe, that may not longer exist: See this guide by Old Toad and Roddy, on how to do this:
Modify the iWeb Application: http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.26.html

Can't upgrade to 10.7.5, can't use iCloud

Hi there, I recently got a new iPhone 4 and wanted to use iCloud on it. Unfortuanatly, I cannot upgrade my computer to 10.7 and can't use iCloud because I am stuck on 10.6.8. Is there anyway to use iCloud on Snow Leopard? If not, is there a way to upgrade to lion on an Intel Core Duo iMac WITHOUT ROARING CORE. And if there is not a way to use the Snow Leopard MobileMe preferance pane to substatute for iCloud? Please let me know as soon as possible.
Thanks

The MobileMe preference pane is completely useless. You can't connect your Mac to iCloud to do the full range of syncing and other facilities. You can make limited use of an existing iCloud account:
You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date (the current Snow Leopard version of Safari works OK, and the latest version of FireFix runs on Snow Leopard).
You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email. A pictorial instruction page on doing this is here.
You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. (See below for alternatives.)
Address Book won't sync: this page has a convoluted hack to make it sync which has been reported as working (and as not working by others). I've not tried it. (See below for an alternative.)
There are a couple of alternative syncing services you might like to consider, though they're not particularly cheap:
Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Snow Leopard. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
Fruux syncs Calendars, Tasks and Contacts between a wide variety of devices (not using the iCloud server) including Snow Leopard and above, Windows Outlook and Thunderbird, Linux Thunderbird, and iOS and Android devices - see their compatibility chart(click the blue 'i' for a caveat about Snow Leopard). It's free for one user, two shares, two devices; above that pricing starts at $20 per month.
(I have no connection with these firms and have not tried their products, though both have had good reports.)
