Is there any way to set up icloud with Windows XP?
Is there any way to set up icloud using a PC with windows XP?
Yes there is.
There are many threads on this forum discussing this issue already (it's good to search before asking the same quesiton again).
There is a simple hack to get iCloud control panel to work on Windows XP to give you synced access to Contacts, Calenders, Reminders and Bookmarks. It also can be used to set up your me.com mail. Photostream doesn't work.
I found a solution here, have written it up in clearer english and added details re IMAP support for me.com addresses here:

In summary:
You need:
Unpacking program e.g. 7-Zip or WinRar
Orca MSI editor
The iCloud setup hack for Windows XP:
Download iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
Open iCloudSetup.exe file with WinRar or 7-Zip and extract.
Navigate to and open the iCloud.msi or iCloud64.msi (for 64bit systems) with Orca.
In the left table select LaunchCondition. Then change in the right table “VersionNT> = 600” to “VersionNT> = 200” and Save.
Run modified iCloud.msi and install.
Run iCloud Control Panel, located in the Windows Control Panel, and set up as you want.
I've had reports that you need to keep the files extracted from the .exe file in the same directory during installaton of the .msi file.
Have fun!

Is there a way to set up iCloud with a non .me email account?
Hi, hoping someone can help?
Next week I will be working 3 days in the office and 2 from my home in Leeds.
I have 2 iMacs - one for each location.
I was wondering whether there's a way of setting up iCloud with my work email address in order to sync my emails on both machines? I have to refer to my emails quite a lot in my job and it will be rather frustrating to have some one one machine and the rest on the other.
Oue email server is POP only. I use Apple Mail on both machines.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
VikkiHi
Thanks both for the replies.
Work has our mail server settings set to 'remove from server immediately' - so I would have some on one and not the other as they will have already been collected.
Does the mail folder need to be in the library folder (or wherever it is - I'm on my PC at the moment so can't see where the actual folder is located) - or can i move it? I have a dropbox account and was just wondering whether i could pop it in there? -
Can I use iCloud on older 20" iMac?

Your signature shows you are running Mac OS X 10.7.1.
Is this a different computer than the 20" iMac?
And you can easily add the iCloud calendar to iCAl on an iMac not running Lion/iCloud.
You simply need to add a CalDav to your non-Lion iMac.
Easiest way is to open iCloud.com then Calendar and Share that calendar. It will send an email to that user with the address of the iCloud caldav calendar.

Same works for Contacts/Address book. -

Is there any way to use Illustrator (CS5) with Windows 8.1?
I'm in the middle of installing CS5 Design Premium on new machine (Win8.1) and see error beside Illustrator that the system requirements are not met. Windows help site suggests CS5 and Win8.1 are compatible. Surely there is some way to make these work together like the rest of my creative suite...?
Without exact system info we cannot know. There could be any number of reasons why it thinks it isn't compatible and generic "It's Windows 8.1" don't help.

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?
It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
Thank you in advance.FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

Will we have to create a seperate account for her, or can we all have the same one?
You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wifes apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wifes apple id for iTunes?
No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that. -
Is there any way to set up my iPhone as an iCloud backup after I've already set it up as a new iPhone?
If you mean you want to restore from an iCloud backup, go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup assistant again and when given the option choose to Restore from iCloud Backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766).

When my Finder windows open in column view, all the columns are always VERY wide. I have to then spend time resizing them to a managable width. Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view?

Is there any way to set a password so that txt messages only open when the password is entered
Is there any way to set a password so that txt messages only open when the password is entered?
Please help! Thanks for reading:)Hello Damien,
There is an option to set a passcode for the entire iPhone. You can use the following steps to set this up:
You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
Once enabled, you will be prompted for the passcode whenever you:
Turn on or restart the device
Wake the device
Unlock the screen
Note: You can specify the amount of time the screen must be locked before requiring a passcode.
You can find the full article here:

Is there any way to set password to protect the location service, to keep GPS open? so, the theft cannot turn it off so easy, because once the location service is turn off, all GPS track is useless...
That is what Activation Lock of iOS 7 does
In addition, it renders the iPhone totally useless to anyone who doesn't know your Apple ID and password.

Hi guys. Just a quick question. My wife has a Mac Book Pro and when she is browsing the web she can use a two fingered gesture to go back to her previous page (by swiping from right to left). Is there any way to set that up on my iPad Mini. Many thanks.
Not in the Safari browser she can't. That is not supported on the iPad. There are other mobile browsers that do have that functionality - one is iCab Mobile.

I'm using the Motorola Atrix smart phone with the Laptop Dock. When I open a web page with Firefox I have to hit "Ctl +" three times to make the page fill the screen. Is there any way to set up the Firefox browser to open the web pages the right size in the first place?
The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.
Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

Is there any way to set a timer for particular playlist?
i would like to listen to a sleep playslist everynight without getting up to turn it on. is there any way to set it in advance?

i have looked at a number of programs but i don’t see one that does this yet. -
Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?
We have ConfigMgr 2012 in our environment. We are in EST.
Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?
When we try to deploy packages, if you don’t specify the time, it reverts to UTC which for us is off by 5 hours.Which times are you talking about? Deployment start times or deadlines? Those could be set to UTC *or* client local time.
