I have just purchased a mac and get my contacts from my iphone 4 onto iCloud. In settings>groups>all my contacts fall under hotmail. HELPQuestion

Do you have iCloud configured on the iPhone and on the MacBook Air? If not, you'll want to do that for seamless transferring of contacts between the two devices. If you have an iCloud account already, set it up on the phone first. If you do not have an iCloud account I'd recommend signing up for one on the computer first as it's easier to navigate the setup screens. Once iCloud is setup on both machines the contacts will automatically sync (faster if the iPhone is on wireless).
Regarding email, you'll need to ensure the email on the iPhone is configured for IMAP/Exchange. You'll then want to configure that same account in Apple Mail (or whatever email program you intend to use on the MacBook Air).

I have just purchased Apple TV and an ipad, i have uploaded my itunes to icloud from my pc and activated sharing, i now have all my tunes on the ipad and pc and all have a little cloud with a red arrow next to them so all seems well, but when i go on Apple TV, and i'm all signed in and all boxes checked, i click on music, my music, and all files are empty, should i not see my itunes and be able to play them from my apple TV, or have i misunderstood what the cloud is for.?
Any answers please. Apple TV 3rd Gen, Ipad Air.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't play music from the computer if there is none there. If you are using iTunes Match you should now be able to download and play all your music on the Apple TV from the music feature on the main page.

I translated..
El problema -> El itunes me dijo que habían como 12 canciones que tenían mejor calidad. yo decidí intercambiar las canciones que tienen mejor fidelidad en itunes.
Itunes me pregunto si quería que ponga las canciones que iva a remplazar en “desk top” a lo cual yo respondí que si. El itunes hizo algo.. no puso las canciones viejas en el desk top pero cuando fui a sincronizar recibí el error 13019.
La solución para los usuarios de Windows.. busca todas las canciones *.m4a que se han modificado en tu compu durante el día del incidente.. toma nota de los nombres de las canciones.
En itunes busca estas canciones y deselecciona las canciones.. (con suerte veras que las canciones están seleccionadas dos veces.. deselecciona todas las canciones que fueron modificadas en ese día. Al final asegurase que tienes seleccionado la opción de solo sincronizar las canciones que están seleccionadas en tu lista.) y trata de sincronizar con itunes..

I know how to do the updates. What I dont know is what size each update that I have completed was. I am having a data usage disagreement with my Telco and want to prove to them that this computer did not download the amount of data they are claiming it did.

Apps are automatically downloaded and stored to your Applications folder. Check there...
Which Mac OS X are you running?

Not sure exactly what you mean by your, "finder folder."
However, in your Finder's preferences, under Sidebar, do you have Music and Pictures checked off?

You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

HT4557 Hi, we have just purchased Apple TV and having some problems connecting to the iPad. It is asking us to 'connect to Home Sharing in iTunes' however I can't find the link/ button to press. iPad has been updated. Any help please

Hi,
We have just purchased Apple TV and can't connect to Home Sharing. We have wifi, the iPad is updated. I can't find the link on ITunes on the iPad that the tv is telling me to click. I've also tried turning it on via settings then music which seems to be connected. I can view YouTube clicks on the tv, but not an app so I can watch the footy. What am I doing wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Make sure your Apple TV is on the same network as your iPad. The SSID and password of router must be set in your Apple TV.

don't just sign out!
if you simply sign out, the stuff you recently purchased will be an issue in the future when an update comes out for apps or anything else. restore the device as new from itunes then restore from a back if you have one as stated above...or set up as new and use correct apple id. this will ensure you will be using the apple id that you used originally without issues from the new one.

I have just bought a mac and need to know how to change from using windows into Mac. When the mac starts up windows come up but i want to use Mac?

To set the default boot volume use the Startup Manager system preferences once you are booted back into the OSX. Then you would only need the option key at boot time to boot into the "other" OS.

HT5637 I have just joined itunes match and want to know what I do now? Do I delete all music on my iphone and how do I then see the music that's stored in the cloud?

Hi
I have just joined itunes match and want to know what I do now. Do I delete all the music on my iphone and ipad and if so how? Once I've done that how do I find the music on the cloud on my phone/ipad?

Go to Settings > General > Usage, select Music, then Edit. There will be a delete option there. It may take a few minutes to delete if you have a large collection on your iPhone.

On your Mac.
Sign into iCloud, turn Contacts and anything else you want, on.

Installing Maverick on my Mac lost almost all of the calendar entries. They are still on my iPhone and new entries move freely to both devices via iCloud. How do I get the entries from my iPhone to iCloud without losing them from iPhone?

Like many others after I installed Maverick I found that all the calendar history has been lost and most of the forward info has also been lost. Also in order to get calendar, contacts and notes to sync with the iPhone I have had to move to iCloud. Contacts and notes sync fine. new calendar entries sync ok. My iPhone has all the calendar entries that were on the Mac before I installed Maverick. So far iCloud has not overwritten them nor have they synced onto iCloud.
How can I get all the entries from my iPhone onto iCloud, without losing the only copy of my calendar from my iPhone?
Thanks Apple for deciding to take over my privacy. I do not want this data stored on a US based server. Fortunately Mail still syncs via my own email provider. I guess Apple will find a way to stop that soon too!

Greetings Nefertiti72,
It seems you are experiencing an issue with contact syncing and management. It seems you've removed an email account which contained a number of contacts that are not associated with your iCloud account. I have linked to a knowledge base article which provides more information about iCloud contacts syncing:
Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
Learn what to do if you’re having issues using iCloud Contacts. For example, you might make changes to Contacts that don't update across all of your devices.
You may want to consider importing the contacts from the email account you removed. You can do it easily by following the steps in this article:
iCloud: Import a vCard
You can import an electronic business card, also called a vCard, into iCloud Contacts. If the vCard contains contact information for more than one person, each contact becomes a separate entry.
In iCloud Contacts, choose Import vCard from the Action pop-up menu , which appears at the bottom of the All Contacts list or a list of group contacts
Select a vCard to import.
The contacts from the vCard are added to the All Contacts group in Contacts. You can add the contacts to any other group by dragging them to the desired group.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Bobby_D
