By default does iCloud automatically sync apps to all authorised computers on my account?

My iTunes account has 5 computers authorised on it, including my recently ex-girlfriend's macbook. I want to know if the apps I've been downloading on my Ipod touch will automatically sync and download on her computer via iCloud. All my settings for iCloud are default. I've downloaded some online dating apps like Skout, which at this point, I don't want her to know about. She knows my iTunes password but she wouldn't have any reason to log in. Thanks in advance everyone, your assistance is much appreciated.

btw i've de-authorised her computer and changed my password since this thought came to me

Does iCloud automatic downloads apply to previously bought apps?

Does iCloud automatic downloads apply to previously bought apps?
For example, if I have deleted an app off all my devices, do I need to go into purchase history on each device to download it again, or is there a way to automatically download it to all devices?
Does automatic downloads only apply to "new" purchases?

Will iCloud automatically sync old purchases?

I have, I hope, a relatively simple question. My basic question is: If I buy an iPhone 4s with iCloud, which I hope to do soon, will it automatically sync purchases that I made on my ITunes account even many years ago from a computer that does not have the latest version of iTunes or iCloud installed? The longer version of the question is: Most of my iTunes library is on my work computer which runs Windows XP. I do not have administrative priviledges to add or update any software and for other reasons I am unable to extract my iTunes library in other ways either. It has basically been relegated to that computer only. I am hoping, among other things, that the iPhone 4s and the iCloud will free my old music purchases but I fear that it will only work with computers that have the iCloud control panel installed for Windows computers or iCloud enabled. Is that true?
I'm sorry if this is a very simple question. I am generally new to the Apple world except for ITunes on my P.C. but am looking forward to getting the iPhone.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Any previous purchases can be redownloaded using iTunes in the cloud on any device running up to date softwareincluding the iPhone 4s with iOS 5.

When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already. Then you will have two computers authorized. Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time. If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library. Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct. But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.

Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud?

Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud? I want to free up disk space on my Mac and assumed that the icloud would be a good way to do this, but having 'moved' 70Gb of files to the iCloud drive (I've upgraded to 200Gb storage) my Mac is still nearly full and I've realised that it seems to just Sync files just like dropbox.

So, the big question is did the Apple guys confirm that this is how the new iCloud drive should be working? I'm guessing, from your response, that this is indeed the case. Are they going to fix this anytime soon? I thought that this was a new function of the iCloud drive in Yosemite.
I just want an online storage facility to back up my photo & music collections. I did look at Dropbox as they have a good deal going with their Dropbox Pro, however this is still just a sync service where the Master files reside on your local disk drive - although I have read that there may be a way to work around this. Still not ideal.

What EXACTLY does iCloud backup/sync to their server.!?!.

HI all..
hoping someone could help me out.
i have read many an article regarding what iCloud backs up/syncs to their server.
i Know it syncs Safari bookmarks/open tabs/reading lists to their server..
and ios8 is introducing Safari history sync too..
however does iCloud also sync your cookies & cache to their server as well??
cheers

Hello Leeeeeeeeee1892,
there is no official post mentioning that, but I would be surprised if Apple would sync cookies between devices.
Best regards,
David

Why does iCloud not sync mail rules?

This seems like a no brainer. When I view my email on my Iphone, I see all my Spam, which would already be dispatched to the Junk box on my desktop, had I looked there first. Why does iCloud not sync my Mail rules, and is there a solution for this?

It is not Mac to Mac.
Why not look up iCloud support, it was never offered as anything outside iOS 5 supported devices.
Maybe if you would stop reading into things what isn't there.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
If your sister doesn't know the password for her old ID, and if her old ID is an earlier version of her current ID, she needs to temporarily recreate the old ID so you can delete if from your phone using her current password. To do this, have her go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with her current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to her old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to her old email address. You can now use the password for her current ID to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for her old account ID. After you do this, Next, have your sister recreate her current ID again by going back to https://appleid.apple.com and changing her primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.
Then your can save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to the camera roll on your device, then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted. You will be prompted to either keep or delete the iCloud data from your device. If the data is already in another account you can choose Delete. If you need to migrate it to another account, choose Keep, then choose Merge when signing into the new account.

ITunes does not automatically sync to iPod

When I connect my iPhone4 or iPod Classic to my mac, they will not automatically open iTunes and sync. The iPhone automatically syncs with iPhoto only. I have tried resetting my ipod and iphone and reselecting automatically sync iphone from the iphone screen in iTunes. I have also repaired permissions with no change.
What else have I missed to make these things auto-sync again.
(Running the latest iTunes and iPhone software)

Hello pib1617,
iTunes Match can be enabled on your iPod Touch via Settings -> iTunes & App Store.
Turn on iTunes Match. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Sign in if you haven’t already.

Icloud not syncing app documents

I am using an app called MentalCase which uses iCloud to sync data between my Mac and my iOS devices. It is only syncing part of the data. The file is 45MB, but iCloud is only syncing 10.1MB of data for the application.
I deleted the iCloud file (from System Pref : iCloud : Documents & Data : Manage) and toggled the iCloud setting in the app itself, but the file returned to iCloud in its 10.1 form again. Is there any sort of limit to the amount of data a third party can store?
Any advice?

I just retraced my steps, and the data is synced now. I believe deleting the iCloud file and toggling the storage option in the app reset the data.
However, in the iCloud Documents & Data pane, it still shows the document is 10.1 MB (it's 45 MB, and all there).

TS1398 can i possibly download from iOS 6 back to iOS 5? there are so many glitch with this new iOS 6, iTunes does not automatically syncing with my iPad2. Messages keeps on logging out, I have to log in again and again, including Facebook it is also acti

I am very excited with this ios 6, but now am very regretful that why did i updated my ios because the new ios 6 did not live up to my expectations, Youtube was gone, iTunes cannot automatically sync with my iPad, iMessages is logging out automatically, even facebook is acting wierd. facetime connection is very poor there are so many glitches with this ios 6. And I know that it is impossible for me to turn back safely to ios 5.1.1 now. Are there any suggestions you can give me? I just want my iPad 2 back to its normal and efficient stage again. Thanks

I am sorry to tell you that Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. There are unsupported methods for doing so, but we are forbidden to provide that information on these forums.

ICloud stopped syncing apps

iCloud stopped syncing updated apps (updated on my iMac) to my iOS devices (iPad1, iPhone 4S, iPod Touch 4th generation), just the apps, everything else works fine. It worked perfectly before. I changed nothing, it just stopped working. What to do ?
Thanks, Karin

Thanks Julian, I know, but I wasn't clear. I'll re-formulate this : after I've downloaded either new apps or ones I already have, in iTunes and onto my Mac, I expect them to appear on my iOS devices a little later. My settings for iCloud are correct : Settings > Store is enabled. And it worked perfectly before.

ITunes does not automatically sync when iPhone is connected

I upgraded to an iPhone 3g and I am unable to select the "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" option. It is greyed out in the iPhone Summary Tab in iTunes. I would like to automatically sync when I connect the iphone to my mac. How can I get this option available to me?

At the iTunes menu bar, go to iTunes > Preferences.
Under the Devices tab, is "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" selected?

Does PHD Login Sync Work at All?

Am I expecting too much? But does the login sync even work for anyone? After I setup a user in no instances zero have I got login sync to work as described after an initial sync not even 1 time!!!!!!!
I've got brand new 10.5.8 server/client nothing configured for PHD except mobile preferences for PHD and it never works. Followed multiple guides just not happening.
This would be a great feature for us but as of now I'm giving up and moving on to something else because my experience is not a good one I wouldn't consider using any part of the Mobility prefs as it seems to work NEVER.

PHD setup is a bit ridiculous in that it doesn't quite seem to do what you expect. At least for my district's setup we had to enable both login / logout sync and background sync for login sync to work. Your best bet is to do all you configuration in the com.apple.homesync preference found under Preferences Details tab in WGM, do some exploring in there you get a lot more granular control and discover the settings make a lot more sense.

Sync Apps tab all greyed out...

In iTunes 10 Apps tab, none of the options can be selected, they are all greyed out. The Sync Apps box is ticked but greyed out and unclickable.
I restored my my iPhone 3G earier today because I had my iPhone replaced at the Apple Store. Since then, every time I connect my iphone to iTunes this occurs, all the applications I already have appear in the box like normal but in grey; I cannot tick or select them... All the other sync functions work perfectly (eg. music, photos, podcasts etc...).
How can I fix this? I tried resetting my iPhone, restarting the computer and turning off restrictions and but all to no avail.

This has happened to me, too. The app icons won't load in the Synch Apps tab. They're all the same, gray, generic icon. The check boxes are really stubborn. I finally got a check mark to appear in a check box, but couldn't un-check it.
Off topic:
While trying to check and un-check an App on that Synch Apps list, I discovered that if you double-click on one of the app names in that list, the large image of the iPhone page, will change to show you where on your phone, that app is located... Handy if it's in a folder somewhere. Also found out that you can drag an app icon from your list of apps (the grid view of all of your purchased apps, accessible in the sidebar) to the name of your connected iPhone (listed in the iTunes sidebar) that dragged app will install on the iPhone...

By default does iCloud automatically sync apps to all authorised computers on my account?
