Can I choose which programs or apps upload data to iCloud?

My iCloud account tells me that my 5GB are full (that's right from the start when I updated the software to iOS5 :-S) Well, I noticed that there are actually just a few apps that I would want to make data backups for in iCloud. Can I choose which programs use that function? The only option I found so far is to turn the data backup function off or on, for ALL the apps. But I only want to use it for a FEW ones! Is this supported in iOS5??
PS. How come it gets full so quickly? The programs that uses most data (Hipstamatic for example) use only barely 0,5GB. So what I can see the 5GB shouldn't be full yet. What have I missed?

I think starting from the second home screen, the new app will be placed in the first available space. If this is the case, you would be able to control the placement manually by making sure your landing screen has empty icon slots and all previous screens, with the exception of the first one, have all of the icon slots occupied. I did run across an app that seemed like it would allow the user to create placeholder icons on the home screens but I can not think of the keywords to pull it up now. There are several icon creators/enhancers that may do the same thing. You can use one of these apps or use the Safari button to Add to Home Screen, to fill up the screens. You could even use a folder to store and deploy your screen filler icons. It seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth but I do have my home screens assigned for different roles. Hopefully Apple will continue to refine the user interface.

  • Can I choose which screen (page) apps download to on my iPad?

    Is there a way to choose this, or does the iPad automatically decide?  If it decides, how can I tell in advance which screen apps will download to?

  • Can you choose which folder an app gets installed to?

    When I install a new app it just goes to the main page then I have move it to a certain folder. Is there a way to have it ask where you want to install it instead of having to organize it after the fact?

    The iOS doesn't support where to designate which screen you want an app installed to BUT, connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes. Select Apps in the menu.
    You can drag and drop apps from one screen to the other or move screens around then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.
    You can provide feedback to Apple. Never know, they might come up with a way to do that.

  • How do i choose which programs to start upon startup?

    how do i choose what apps start upon start up when i first turn my laptop on?
    i keep having my finder app start as soon as i turn my macbook pro on........ can anyone help me to direct me how to choose which programs start up on startup? thanks in advance! Sam

    Finder is going to have to start at each bootup. It's how you interact with Mac OS X.
    Follow Keppy's instructions above if you have other programs that you want to load at start up.

  • Can I choose which apps to share?

    I Have set up family sharing with my wife and kids. Is there a way that I can limit specific apps that I share with my son? I want my wife to be able to access all of my apps, but I would like to be able to specifically choose which app purchases I share with my son.

    You can hide purchased as explained here: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases, but then your wife would lose access to them too.  In your case, the only way to restrict content that others in the family can access is by setting restrictions on his device in Settings>General>Restrictions, which allows a limited set of restrictions such as movie and TV show ratings, explicit book content, app ratings, etc.

  • Can i choose which photos to put on iCloud?

    My iCloud account is full. I would like to choose which photos, etc. are exchanged between my devices. I have a son who also puts his photos (quite a few of them) on my Mac, and I don't want them to always show up on my iPhone. I can't find any info on how to pick and choose which ones go on and which ones don't.
    Thank you.

    Turn of automatic uploads in iPhoto by going to Preferences>Photo Stream and unchecking it.  Then you can beging manually adding them to photo stream as described here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmd946962 under "From iPhoto or Aperture".

  • Can I choose which iWork documents to store on iCloud?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if I can choose which iWork documents to store on iCloud? I have a lot of iWork files on my work Mac but I don't want them all on iCloud, just a couple that I'm currently working on, so that I can easily access and edit them when I'm at home or on the road.
    Thanks!

    You are free, if you want to store your iWorks documents in the cloud or locally on your mac. The file choser dialog, when you are saving the document, will let you save it either in iCloud or in a folder on your mac. If you later change your mind, you can move the document between your local storage oand the cloud.
    Regards
    Léonie

    A question for the professionals:

  • Can I choose which applcations to transfer in Migration Assistant

    I'm getting a new Mac. I like to pick and choose which applications to transfer, form the old Mac, to the new Mac.
    It looks like Migration Assistant, give just an all, or nothing choice.  Is there a way to choose which apps get transfered?

    No. All apps or none. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889 for the details. I recommend migrating everything on first boot, using the Setup Assistant, then, after the process is over, selectively delete/uninstall unwanted ones. See Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

  • Can I choose which season artwork is used for display over the whole TV show?

    I have a TV show with multiple seasons and multiple album covers, but iTunes chooses one to display over the whole show list that I don't like. Is there some way to choose which season cover is displayed over my whole show, you know, WITHOUT changing all the album artworks of all the episodes?

    LaunchPad-Control was very useful to do exactly what you want on OS X Lion the developer has stated that there are problems when running on Mountain Lion and will not provide any support.
    Your only option now is to create folders with related applications.  Click on an application in Launchpad then drop it onto another thus creating a folder then rename the folder to something meaningful.
