Can I update only from my iMac and have data flow to iPhone and MacBook, not the other direction?

New to iCloud and Lion. Can I update via iCloud only from my iMac and have data flow to my iPhone and my MacBook, not the other direction?

No. Syncing means bringing both ends to be the same.

I`d like to know how can i insert documents, xls/doc/pdf into iCloud and have them in my iPhone and my iPad. I just found one way, through ibooks, but i think it isn't a practical option.

Just use Drop Box instead.

When we miss a call, the "Slide to Unlock" doesn't respond to touch. The only way out is to have someone call your iphone and then "Slide to Answer" will respond and once u end the call it will start responding to "Slide to Unlock" this started happening

In your first post you mention you have done a reset and a restore. Those are the last two processes in the user troubleshooting. If those do not work, then the last thing is to go to the Genius Bar. You say you went to Apple and they opened the phone and re-seated the connectors? That sounds unusual, because if there was a hardware issue,they would replace the hardware. You say you cannot get a replacement, is that because you are out of warranty? An out of warranty replacement is only $199 plus tax. It seems to me since you mention the fact you need to press hard to get the screen to react there is something going on with the hardware. If this problem has been going on for over a year, have you been reporting this to Apple. You say you cannot get a replacement and you are on the second phone, I wonder why they are denying you a replacement. Is there something you are not telling us??

Hi F1N5G10,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you don't have the AirPlay option on your iOS devices. Restarting your Apple TV and iOS devices was a good first step, and you can find some additional tips to guide your troubleshooting at this link:

Same here and this is driving me crazy. I can buy, but can't upgrade. Grrr.

HT201250 I have 2 Lacie external drives connected to a Windows PC. What is the best scenario for backing up files on both computers? I would like to save all my files on one backup drive and have Time Machine backup that external drive to the other.

I don't know if this is a good idea, because the external drive is going to be slower than using my local hard drive to open files from. My IMac has 1tb and the 2 external drives have 1tb each. The IMac is my computer and my Wife uses the Windows PC, so I have to make sure both of our files are backed up. Thanks in advance for any advice regarding this issue.

I'm in a similar situation including movies I've purchased from iTunes...
Here's my setup:
I have all my iTunes data (music, movies, etc.) as well as about 10 GB of photos stored on a nework storage device that uses RAID-5 with SATA disks. This is basically a little toaster-sized NAS machine with four hard drives in it (www.infrant.com). If one of these drives dies, I get alerted and can insert a new one without missing a beat since the data is stored redundantly across all drives. I can also just yank out any one of the four drives while the thing is running and my data is still safe (I tried this after I bought it as a test).
That's how I prevent problems with a single disk... Redundancy
Now onto "backups"...
Nightly, my little RAID toaster automatically backs itself up to an attached 250GB USB drive. However, these backups are only of my critical data... documents, photos and home movies... I don't bother backing up my "Hollywood" movies since I can live without them in a disaster.
... I actually don't permanently store anything I care about on a laptop or a desktop. It all goes on the NAS box (Network Sttached Storage) and then my other computers use it as a network drive. It's attached via Gigbait to my main computer and via wireless to most everything else.
My achilles heel is that I don't store anything outside of my house yet. If I was smart, I'd alternate two USB drives attached to my NAS box and always keep one of them somewhere else (Safe Deposit Box?).
...and that's just one way to do it.

My calendar syncs only one direction (mac to iPhone) but not the other direction?

I used to run a sync of my iPhone and my newly entered appointments would sync both directions whether I had entered them on my iphone or on my mackbook PRO.
Now when I enter an entry on my phone it does not upload to my Mac Calendar. but if I entered the appointment on the MAC then it does sync to my iphone5.
Not sure if it changed after an ios upgrade or when. Tried it several times both wirelessly syncing as wel as with a USB cable.
Any ideas if this is a setting?

Greetings Mary,
If you are syncing using USB you can sync your iPhone to your computer which will update iCal with the iPhone's calendar. Then when you plug in your iPad and sync your iPad, it too will update with the same information from iCal.

Have two browsers, Chrome and Chromium, flash is installed on one but not the other

Hi All,
I have spent a ton of time on this and am stuck.
I have two browsers, Chrome and Chromium, they both have separate profiles(Chrome has work profile Chromium has personal profile). The Chrome installation is fine, I have the plugins in the Chrome://plugins and everything is great.
The Chromium browser is not so great. I have tried the install maybe 30 different times. The scenarios are:
I have tried using the Chromium/Opera install-able
one with the browser closed
one with it open
I have tried the regular Chrome install-able
one with the browser closed
one with it open
I have tried the diagnostic tool: Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows - It says I have the plugin installed but it is not enabled. Then i look at the chrome://plugins and there are 3 plugins listed: Chrome PDF Viewer (2 files), Chromoting Viewer and Native Client, all of which are enabled.
I have tried to download and install directly from the installer site: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_ppapi.ex e
Any help would be really great.
Thanks so much.
Sean

Chrome comes with a built-in version of Flash Player. Everything else built on Chromium does not. Fortunately, there's a standalone PPAPI installer for Chromium-based browsers. It's only available for Windows at the moment.
Now, the browser itself may need to do some work to be able to discover and support Flash Player (particularly if they're not actively staying on the latest available PPAPI interface), so not every Chromium fork is going to work, and it's nowhere near as mature as the player in Chrome, but it's a thing that exists. We've been doing a lot of work with the Opera team on the PPAPI Flash Player, and Opera Next is an active Chromium-based project.
If you run into problems, please file bugs over at http://bugbase.adobe.com/.
Anyway, to get the download, use the link below.

How do I migrate one mac to another and have it look just like it did on the other machine on the one I migrated it to?

I need to migrate a mac to another and have kept my backups current with timemachine. I connected the HD with the time machine back ups to the machine I'm migrateing to and used the migratiation assastiant but now i have 2 accounts and no permissions to access the account I migrated. I just imagined I would use the migration assastiant and afterwards I'd be looking at the mac I transfered/migrated. What did I do wrong or how can I achieve the desired effect?
Thank you in advance. Jay

i have 2 accounts and no permissions to access the account I migrated.
What do you mean by this? Have you tried to login to these accounts?
If you come up automatically to an account, you can log off this account then login to a new account.

Do I have to activate the phone and have a plan with at&t to use the other.

features on the phone such as the internet and youtube. I will not be using the phone part of this and the only reason im getting this is because the new 8 gig iphone is cheaper than the i touch.

yes you need to activate the Iphone to use the other features also when you buy the Ipone AT&T or Apple will have you sign up for a 2 year aggreement. So It's not cheaper

How do I enable auto-complete for gmail password? I have five accounts and it works for 3 of them but not the other 2.

I have five gmail accounts. Three of them have the auto-complete feature enabled for the password. The two most recent accounts do not auto-fill so I must type in my password every time. The auto-fill works fine on my laptop but not on my desk-top. My operating system is Windows XP.

You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

One iPod and iPhone Syncs but not the others

My daughter has both a iPhone and iPod that are not recognized by either iTunes or her laptop. However when I use my iPhone and iPod they are immediately recognized using the same cable. Any thoughts about why this could be? Is there something in the device settings that needs to be set? Any thoughts are appreciated!

- Try resetting both unsean devices. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Do the non seen iDevices have iOS 5 and the seen ones have a lower iOS? iOS 5 requires iTunes version 10.5.x.

HT1688 How can I transfer music from my iTunes on my computer to my iPhone?

How can I transfer music from my iTunes on my computer to my iPhone?

Thanks for the info. For some reason none of the syncing options are working for me. Additionally, I'm unable to drag and drop music to the iphone via iTunes.
It seems that ever since I turned off iTunes Match, my music library has been wonky.
Frustrating.

ICal and contact duplicates in my iPhone and MacBook

Hi,
I have seen other discussions related to this subject but I can't seem to fix it. I have duplicates in my iPhone and MacBook of both iCal events and contacts. I am probably doing something wrong because if I add an event on my MacBook it will appear (fast enough!) in my iPhone, but it will not work the other way. Same thing with contacts. It is a bit of a nightmare and I would like to be able to have things once and automatically synced... if possible, of course, but I assumed this is what iCloud was about.
Can anyone with this stuff under control give me a hand?
Much appreciated

Your iPhone can take a screen-capture by holding down the bottom 'HOME' button
for 2-3 seconds, and then depressing the top 'RESET' button momentarily while
continuing to hold down 'HOME'. You will see a simulated white 'flash' on the iPhone
screen, and the screen capture will appear as a photo in your latest Camera Roll.
Unintended shots can be deleted from the Camera Roll just like any photo you might
take using the iPhone's camera.

Can I update only from my iMac and have data flow to iPhone and MacBook, not the other direction?
