Advice before I go to icloud...pls

I have the following set up, just need a little advice...please?
My macbook pro is set up so that I just sync my ical, address book and notes from within Macmail (on my mac) with my iphone and my ipad.
I'm considering moving to icloud as I really am getting tired of syncing three times all three devices.
what order should I do this all? mac first, then iphone then ipad?
What happens with the already synced events, contacts, notes on all the devices? shoudl I delete any on any of the devices?
thanks in advance!

An IMAP mail account will appear to sync your email between all your devices. If you open and read mail on one device it will get marked as read on another. If you move or delete mail on one device it will be moved or deleted on all the others. if you send mail from one device you will find it in the sent folder on all your devices.

HT201272 A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are on my iTunes, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod.

A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are in my iTunes library, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. There is no common thread for the origin of the songs--many were ripped from CD's, others purchased in the iTunes store. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod without any issues.

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

I have an iPhone 3S. I forgot to install iOS5 on it before to pass to iCloud. Now, I am unable to sync it with iTunes and update to iOS5. Is there a solution?

Hi jeffmbellucci,
If you are having issues dragging music to your iPhone 4 after a recent upgrade to iOS 7, you may want to verify that the phone is still set to "Manually manage music and videos." You may find the following article helpful:

Editing a feature, advice before I go in?

Hi all,
I'm going in, editing a 90 min. feature from 25 hours of footage on Final Cut Studio, (latest non-universal binary release).
I have a Dual 2 Ghz G5 Tower, 20" aluminum apple display, ATI Radeon 9650 with 256 VRAM, and 2.5 gigs RAM, a 250 GB internal HD, plus a 160 GB LaCie Firewire Drive, M-Audio Studio Pro 4 monitors, and a Contour ShuttleXpress.
If necessary, I can spend a mere $500 for any tweaks/upgrades, (Final Cut Pro Keyboard? Others?)
Any advice before I go into this thing so I start it right?
Suggestions, encouragement?
All responses appreciated, (but please don't say get a Quad or a MBP or whatever, because I was lucky enough to get this equipment and even that was a stretch. Thanks!)

If you are truly editing SD, you don't list any sort of capture card. Exactly how are you planning on getting that footage into your system? Another issue is that the drives you have will not really support SD footage.
Are you doing the finishing, or just off-lining? If the former, you do not list a production monitor, or a beta deck of any sort.
So you are missing, at the very least, four necessary components. Or I'm missing something.
I too will second everyone's comments. First off, before you even boot up the machine, it's time to lay out all the tapes in a row and give them each a number. Box AND tape. Build yourself a tape/content database. This can be something as simple as a spiral notebook where you compile all the camera reports, sound reports, tape numbers etc-- or a full blown as an excel spreadsheet.
Then get hold of a copy of the script supervisor's book, and cross correlate scene and take numbers with your tape log.
You should be easily able to know exactly where any video clip is residing on what tape, and be able to pull it off the shelf immediately.
Establish a project backup strategy and back up the project every night. I keep a little portable zip drive and cart to copy my folder of projects, and take it home every night.
Make sure you have enough shelf space to get all those tapes up off the floor into some sort of logical order. A clean cutting room is a joy to work in. Take the last half hour of your workday to leave the cutting room every night (WHENEVER that might be) in such a state that another editor can walk in tomorrow and pick up right where you left off. You might get hit by a bus or car. I know it sounds morbid, but that actually happened to me back in 1988. I was in the hospital for 10 weeks, and the show went on just fine without me. This will also make it a joy for you to step into every morning, even when you're at the "I'm going to strangle this @&$$&)* director!" phase.
If you're lucky enough that they hire you an assistant, let him or her have a crack at roughing in a scene or two. Don't let that person just do all the grunt work. A happy assistant = a happy cutting room.
Get some plants into your cutting room, they absorb some of that raditaion coming out of the monitors, and will make you feel better-- you're not the only living thing in there. Allow for some daylight when you're not color correcting-- that'll make you feel better too. Have a client table with a monitor on it. Being crowded at the edit desk can make one pretty squirrelly and testy. Keep your personal space clear.
Above all, have fun. This is supposed to be fun.

Advice before buying Macbook Pro and Final Cut Studio

Hey there
I'm looking for advice before I buy my first Mac.
Currently editing SD video using Windows PC, Quad core, and Sony Vegas Movie Studio.
Now I want to edit HD (from Canon5Dii) and plan a move to Macbook Pro & FCStudio.
What hardware configurations of MBP (with FCS) have folk out there got, and how well do they run?
Eg. Do I need the 8GB memory?
Any peripherals I MUST have
Thanks in advance
Aye

Any peripherals I MUST have
Fast, external hard drives for media storage. Don't use the internal system drive for this. Don't even consider using USB drives at all.
All MBPs limit you to FireWire 800 drives, which are OK for lower bandwidth video like HDV and AVCHD.
Although the 17" model also has an ExpressCard slot that can be used with an eSATA adapter to connect much faster drives that provide throughput that FireWire cannot achieve.

Need help/advice before I power up my new iMac

Hi friends .... I'm sorry to bother here- but I just purchased a new 21.5" base iMac and need advice before my first start up ..... I'm currently using my 2006 iMac with 10.4.11 .... I'd love to be able to transfer some basic files, Safari bookmarks, etc .... I have most of my photos and important docs backed up on CDs (my external super drive for the new iMac won't arrive for another few days ...)I've read that Migration Assistant isn't supported or recommended from my old 10.4 to the new Mountain Lion on the new iMac .... I'm stressed about turning on my new iMac and confused about how to use the setup assistant in my situation .... Should I just rebuild my desktop and files manually later with my back-up cd's ... or is there a way to connect the two iMacs with an ethernet and just drag files from the old Mac to the new one .... I've only used Macs and I'm embarrassed I don't know these things ... please advise the best way for me to transition from my old Mac to the new one ... hoe should I use the onscreen assistant when I start up,...I certainly don't want to junk up my new iMac and transfer all my old applications that won't work or be supported (Photoshop CS2, etc) , but I would also love to have my desktop and other stuff I use there right away to make my new machine familiar from the start .... (please answer as simply as possible ... ) ...thanks so much in advance ....

I just looked at that solution and see that the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter requires OS X v10.7.4 ... so that lets me out again- I'm using 10.4.11 ...
That will not limit its use with your new iMac.
You will need to boot your Tiger iMac in FireWire Target Disk Mode - hold the T key while starting your older Mac. You can use Setup Assistant (or Migration Assistant). From the new iMac's perspective the old Mac will appear to be an external disk.
When asked "How do you want to transfer your information" select "From a Mac, PC, Time Machine backup or other disk" then click Continue. On the next screen be sure to select "From a Time Machine backup or other disk" and not "From a Mac or PC".
Otherwise, Migration Assistant will look forever for your other Mac.

Did you unauthorize the machine?

How can I solve "sign out of mobileme before signing in to icloud"?

When opening the iCloud control panel on my Windows 7 PC, I get the message "sign out of MobileMe before signing in to iCloud".
I am not signed in to MobileMe.
Right now, I cannot sign in to the iCloud control panel because of that.
What is the recommended approach to this issue?

Thanks Csound1
My PC still had the MobileMe control panel, once this was uninstalled, I could log in to the iCloud control panel.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Connect it to iTunes with a USB cable and update it from the iTunes application.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.

I have yet to update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS software. How do I save photos to my iCloud photo stream that were taken before I activated my iCloud account and photo stream ?

I have yet to update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS software. How do I save photos to my iCloud photo stream that were taken before I activated my iCloud account and photo stream ?

You have a couple of options:
Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot. This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll. This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once. Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll. These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream. (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

Any sage advice before VM deployment?

Hello All,
I plan to install VMware Fusion and then Windows XP (Home Edition) on my MacBook Pro (1.8Ghz, 1G ram) and would like to know any tips or "gotcha's" to lookout for before I start.
Also, I've scanned the Support section and can not find any how to pages on the topic of setting up a Virtual Machine. Plenty on Parallel, but not VMware.
From what I've read on the VMware site, it all seems fairly point and click, but I'm never that lucky so any advice you care to share would be appreciated. Or any link to documentation would be great also.
Thanks in advance.

Just ordered the software so it hasn't arrived yet. Plus past experience says, I don't want to start the process only to find that I'm under powered (1G RAM)
You are. It will work with 1G, but not quickly. 2G is the minimum for a virtual machine.
or needed to partition off 20G of hard drive space for the Virtual Machine before hand.
You won't have to do that with a virtual machine. That is one of the upsides to a VM rather than BootCamp.
Have you setup your Pro as a VM and what were you configurations?
I run XP Pro under Parallels on a MacBook with 2 Gig RAM. It worked with 1 Gig, but I had display problems. You won't have those problems on a Pro, but you still need 2 gig at least.

Need advice before buying MBP please!!

Hi everyone, sorry this is AGAIN a "need help before buying" post.
I'm basically looking to buy a MBP for movie production : I will do data transfer (footage into USB3 to TB2 drives/USB3 drives).
And maybe some playback of very large 4K video files.
I was looking at a few options :
First of all I missed my chance and saw a rMBP 15inch 2.4ghz(ish) for 1900 (canadian) and didn't order it.
I've got my eyes on either another rMBP which is a 2.7 with Geforce 650M (june 2012) for 2400$ or a brand new one with maybe 2.5ghz for 2200$.
Your advices on these models? Is the Iris Pro GPU good enough? Is 2.2ghz enough for my tasks?
Thanks soooo much!!

Hi pbearr,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I’m glad to hear that you are in the market for a new Mac! I wanted to chime in here and make a quick comment about 4K video support. Are you planning on purchasing an external 4K monitor? If so, keep in mind that a 2012 MacBook Pro with Retina Display does not support 4K video. To learn more, please check out this resource:
Using 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs with Mac computers - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202856
You can use 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs with these Mac computers.
MacBook Pro (Retina, Late 2013 and later)
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013 and later)
Mac mini (Late 2014)
Every user, task, and configuration is different. I wish you all of the luck in determining which Mac is the best for you!

TS4463 I have just installed office 365 and now icloud will not work. It says that I need to open or install outlook. Before I installed 365, ICloud worked and I believe I had Outlook loaded yet it is not there any longer. I am lost.

I just installed office 365 Home Premium editiion and have lost my ICloud capabilities. I cannot sign in nor will Photostream work. A message comes up that says I need Outlook on my computer (I had it before the 365 was loaded). I checked on-line and it says that windows 7 does not support outlook and that I cannot download it (don't know how I got it before). I am totally confused as what to do. Really upset as I needed the new office package as Windows 7 wouldn't support the 2010 started edition any longer without my buysing that. Figured it made sense to get the newest version. Packaging says that it contains outlook. I don't know what to do at this point.

Did you remove the existing installation of Office before installing the new one?
I checked on-line and it says that windows 7 does not support outlook and that I cannot download it (don't know how I got it before).
Outlook is part of Office 365, and Windows 7 supports all versions of Outlook back to 2003.
I am totally confused as what to do.
You need to correctly remove all versions of Office on your Mac, you need to remove their settings as well. You need to save your Office Userdata from removal by moving it temporarily. I would also uninstall iCloud.
Then reinstall Office 365 followed by iCloud.

When I restart the browser, its not opening the previously opened tabs even though I saved before closing the browser. Pls guide me.

Dear sir,
When I restart the browser, its not opening the previously opened tabs even though I saved before closing the browser. This problem was not there in the older versions less than 3.6.8. Even the browser speed has gone down. This is everyday problem with this browser.
Pls suggest ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Tripad
