Can i have contacts in the cloud and on my mac

A while back I deleted all my "on my Mac" contacts because they were not syncing to the cloud. Is there a way to have two sets of contacts, iCloud and on my Mac?

Not so easy. Backup Contacts first.
Sign out of iCloud (System Preferences>iCloud), open Contacts and create a new card (anything) this will go to the On My Mac group (unless you have other accounts that are not yet mentioned) Once there is some content in On My Mac it will show up as a choice in groups.
Then you can sign back in to iCloud.

I have plenty of duplicated contacts in I cloud. How can I delete all the contacts in the cloud and resynchronize

I synchronized my contacts from my PC to I cloud. Unfortunately the contacts from I pad and I phone were also synchronized which gives me plenty of duplicates. How do I delete all of my contacts in I cloud to resynchronze and have the contacts only once in the I cloud.
Thank you for your valuable information. I am sure I am not the only one.

I have two groups on the iphone that were automatically generated: icloud and "on my mac".
when I erased all contacts on the computer and synchronized it with the phone, it only synchronized the icloud contacts but no the ones on my phone under "on my mac". so how can I get them into the icloud group....
thx

Upgrade to iOS7.1 has broken Music. . .can't play songs in the cloud and songs that have been downloaded won't play either.

I've discovered an interesting "feature" of iOS7.1 for the iPad (4th gen).
Since upgrading, I can no longer play music that is in the cloud and when trying to switch to a song that has been downloaded to the device, it won't play either; however, the equilizer graphic indicates that something is playing (bouncing up and down) but the song position indicator stays at 0:00.
Eventually, iTunes/Music (not sure what to call it these days since Apple can't seem to decide either) gives up on the song selected, the on that is not playing, and moves to the next song. If the next song is local to the device, music plays, if it's another song in the cloud, the pattern repeats until it hits a downloaded song. Have also discovered, after my various and simple testing efforts, that I can no longer download songs from the cloud - I was able to download one song but afer that. . .kaput.
It takes a special level of brilliance to send out an update that breaks your own applications/code. . .particularly one so core to the device.
Two words for future releases. . ."Quality Assurance".

I had a similar problem. Try resetting and erasing the phone and restoring from a known good backup.

How can I store movies in the cloud and access them from my devices?

Hello,
I would like to store movies in the cloud and access them from my device without having to download them to the device because there is not enough space on the harddrive to store them on it. How would I do this? Would I have to download the movies to my PC or could I store them directly in the cloud?
Thanks,
Tyler

Unfortunately I don't use sugarsync myself, I have a dropbox account and it works slightly differently.
As I understand it you can upload files to a folder in sugarsync from your computer without having them sync to any of your devices. You can access that folder from any of your devices, and although you would need to download them in order to play the video file, you could then delete them without deleting the files in the sugarsync folder in the cloud.

There is good news coming!
Technology experts are working on a movie storage system where YOU have physical possession of the movie.
This system stores the movie digitally on an optical disk system that will not be dependent upon a congested, complicated, and fragile network.
Because all of the data is stored only a few feet from your television, all the bottlenecks are removed. Performance and reliability are virtually flawless.
Further, the system will not utilize any form of security codes, authentications, or passwords. Once the optical disc is purchased it can be moved around freely at will, and can even be lent or given to friends and neighbors with zero hassles.

My files were deleted by cc from the cloud and from my mac

after trying to sync a pc to my creative cloud folder, almost all of my files were deleted from the cloud, and I cant acces the archive folder on the web..
i needed to restore all the files from my trash manually and now I hope that all the files are there... Why this happened? why cant I reach my archive folder on the web? I am not going to use this service again! I believe I can sue adobe for this kind of stuff...

Hi Yarontm,
I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties. I'm not sure what happened. One possible explanation is if you deleted your files in a browser at creative.adobe.com/files it would in turn delete them locally from the Creative Cloud files folder if file sync was turned on. Maybe that's what happened? I hope you were able to recover everything you needed.

On an Iphone 5s How do recover contacts that somehow vanished in my contacts list, the cloud and Sync are not available on this Iphone yet

On an iPhone 5s, how do you recover contacts that some how vanished from the contact list?
Sync and the cloud not available yet.

To transfer your data and settings to a new device see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109. You can also use an app like My Contacts Backup to back up the contacts on your phone as attachment to an email that you send to yourself. If you need to, you can later open this email on your new phone and tap the attachment to import your contacts.

Apple TV - can you have 1 in the lounge and 1 in the bedroom and watch different things even if working off the same Wifi?

Hi There!
Sorry for what may be a stupid question but I really have no clue when it comes to Apple TV's!
It is my boyfriends birthday coming up and I would love to get him an Apple TV for his gift. The problem I have is that he lives at home and his Dad already has a whole entertainment system thing going on in the lounge with the full works, including an apple TV which he controls from his ipad.
If I was to get my boyfriend his own ATV for his bedroom, would this mean he could watch seperate content to his dad in the lounge? Can they be controlled seperately?
As an additional qs, he doesnt have an iPad but has an iPhone - this is ok to use with it isnt it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks!

Absolutely. During setup each AppleTV can be named differently (Bedroom ATV, Living Room ATV, AppleTV, etc). and then you have the option of password protecting it so you have some control over access.
The iPhone has an app called Remote - and it works awesome. I've never used the iPad but my iPhone is a great replacement for that stick of gum they call a remote that comes with the ATV. It's a free app written by Apple... easy to find and braindead easy to use. It even gives you a touchpad like area to quickly scroll and select items on screen.
The only thing that could be a deal breaker is wifi signal quality and wifi speed in his bedroom. If he can stream to other devices in his bedroom - the ATV will work perfectly.

My iPad does not sync any contacts to the cloud, what can I do?

The interesting thing is: It receives contacts from the cloud and I can even alter or delete those contacts on the iPad but it simply doesn't sync its own contacts to the iCloud. What can I do???
Thanks in advance!

Try using contacts (mac) to drag a contact from one are to another. I can't test this as I only have the "iCloud" group.

I'm going to europe, will I have accsess to the cloud

I'm going to europe in two weeks, can I have accsess to the cloud while there?

Yes, but to avoid international data roaming charges if you have a wifi + cellular iPad, be sure to go to Settings>Cellular Data and turn it to Off. This will restrict it to wifi-only.

HT1689 Can i combine my husbands contacts and mine if we have two different itune accounts and emails and passwords? Can both sets of contacts live on the cloud and be donwloaded to both our phones?

Hey NON-TECHNO-WIZARD
You can do one of two things. The first is to just export out the contacts and import them into each other’s account. If something is updated the other person will not be updated with the information. Now another options is using one Apple ID for iCloud Syncing and then you can still use individual Apple ID’s for store purchases. The article below will shed some light on how you can use the Apple ID.

I set up iCloud on pc, ipad etc was asked to copy contacts to iCloud and have lost all the settings and groups that they were in for over 2000. Can I get it back?

I have Outlook on my PC and thought it would be smart to have my contact in the Clouds where my ipad, work pc, home pc would be updated etc. So I was asked I though to copy my contacts from Outlook to iCloud. Instead it moved them and in doing so lost all the settings like Categories and reset how they are listed (used first name because have a lot of drs, phds, msws etc) now listed with last name and so I have a lot of people with md as last name. This is an organization list and is about 2000 contacts so having to go back and fix it will be a nightmare and unnecessary work.
Is there any way I can fix this easily instead of correcting each contact one at a time?
Thanks.

Restore your backup.

I can't retrieve my contacts from the cloud. I don't have options listed on the instructions to "download"

My phone died and I am trying to retrieve my contacts from the cloud. I can see them in my Cloud app on my new phone, but I don't have the option to download or "start" as the instructions indicate. I don't have a phone to transfer to, so somehow need to retrieve them.

Your post is kind of confusing. You have a new phone and don't have a phone to transfer to?? With the phone that died. If that phone was using Verizon Cloud to back up. Then when you activating Verizon Cloud on the new phone, one of the steps would ask, do you want to transfer from old phone to new phone?
If you had nothing backed up with Verizon Cloud on the old phone there would be nothing to restore to the new phone.
When activating Verizon Cloud on the new phone, only what is currently showing on the new phone will be able to be backed up, along with what is added in the future.
