Can I use iCloud and sync with my computer also?

iCloud sounds promising BUT just to be safe, in addition to using iCloud can I continue to back-up via my computer & iTunes also?
Thanks in advance... Bob

Yes, you can sync contact and calendar information with iCloud if you're running Windows 7 or OS X Lion. You can back up you phone to iCloud or to your computer, but not both at the same time.

I am currently running OS X 10.5.8 on my MacBook (early 2008) and want to know if I can upgrade to a version that will allow me to use iCloud to sync with my new iPad?

I believe to use iCloud you need to run at least Lion (10.7). (Only the Find My iPhone or Find My Mac parts of iCloud work with OS earlier than 10.7/Lion).
I think you can run Lion but you should check each of the following:
"To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM
If your Mac does not meet these requirements, you will need to upgrade your Mac before installing Lion"
You have a Core 2 Duo. You can upgrade to 10.6 and then install Lion, or use the thumb drive approach mentioned above (thumb drive Lion costs about $70 I think). You need to check your RAM to see if you have enough.
Folks have reported that 4 GB RAM is really a minimum for a decent experience with Lion.
For Mountain Lion, see this ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444 ) for what you need to have to install OS 10.8. I don't think you can use Mountain Lion (10.8) with your early 2008 Macbook.

Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apples Ids?

Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apple ID's

What do you mean by "apple ID"? There's an ID you can use at the iTunes store to buy songs, apps, etc. there's an ID you can use for your iCloud account - the two can be different or the same. So which service are you referring to when you talk about an apple ID?

Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD

Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD and not everything else on my iphone etc?

On the iPod turn off iCloud for calender, contacts and other things (Settings>iCloud) and turn off automatic downloading for apps and books (Settings>Store).
Aldso go to Settings Messages and Facetime and add her own email calling/messaging address and delete the Apple ID calling/messaging address.

Can I use icloud on imac with snow leopard OS10.6.8

Err Can I use icloud with iMac OS snow leopard 10.6.8 ?

This page explains what you can do on Snow Leopard with an existing iCloud account.
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
You cannot create an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
In addition to SoHo Organizer, Fruux syncs Calendars, Tasks and Contacts between a wide variety of devices (not using the iCloud server) including Snow Leopard and above, Windows Outlook and Thunderbird, Linux Thunderbird, and iOS and Android devices - see their compatibility chart(click the blue 'i' for a caveat about Snow Leopard). It's free for one user, two shares, two devices; above that pricing starts at $20 per month. I haven't tried this.

How can I use undo and redo with run time menu?

Hi..I try to built my own menu for graphic programming. How can I use undo and redo in labview with run time menu?

filozof-
During runtime, by default, LabVIEW has undo/redo data changes under the edit menu. This will undo/redo changes made to controls during runtime. If you want a more extensive undo/redo (custom for your application), you are going to have to do quite a few things
1) Create a custom runtime menu (Edit>>RunTime Menu) and place your own undo/redo controls on it
2) Keep an action history in your program
3) Catch the Shortcut menu event for your custom undo/redo controls
4) Reverse the last action in your histroy when you catch the event
This method would allow you undo entire operations (like resize, move, or whatever kind of functionality you are building into your application) unstead of just undoing data changes.

HT3951 How can I share books and audio with another computer?

How can I share books or audiobooks with another computer?

You can't re-download audiobooks on any computer - they are currently a one-time only download. Music can be re-downloaded in some countries, they are listed on this page. But you should be able to copy your purchases from, for example, your backup and add them to the computer's iTunes via File > Add Folder To Library.

Can you use iCloud to sync contacts and still sync google contacts too

Just switched my contacts over to sync using icloud between my imac, iphone and ipad. Im wondering, can I sync the contacts somehow with google also? Would be great to gave everyting together and have web access to contacts on any computer.

I should've just tried it before I asked this question. Once I disconnected my internet completely, I was able to fully see and use my iCloud Documents, etc... They must be stored elsewhere on the computer instead of somewhere obvious like the Documents folder.
I was able to open, edit, etc... and it appears that once you do connect to the internet that the new edits will sync with what's stored on iCloud, and then become accessible to your other devices.
Of course, I then after doing all this, found a similar question which already had answers. Sorry to clutter up the forums.

How can I use iCloud to sync to just my account on my iMac and not to my husband's account?

I have an iMac using OS X 10.7.5. I have separate accounts for myself and my husband. I also have an iPhone and an iPad. How do I get iCloud to sync my account with my iPad and iPhone without syncing with my husband's account on the iMac?

If you are using the same AppleID you cannot, just create seperate AppleID's and you should be OK.

HT1386 iCloud and syncing with iPod

I purchased iCloud to use as a back up for my iPod music library. Now I can no longer access my music. My music is in my computer library but when I try syncing it to my phone, only the titles show up. When I click on a song, it is no longer highlighted and will not play. Maybe I misunderstood iCloud and how it works. I didn't want to actually store all my music and have to have Wi-Fi available to play it. That would not be possible if you are traveling in a car with no access to Wi-Fi. I thought iCloud would just back up my music in case my computer crashed.
Anyone know how I can get my music to play on my iPod now?

Can I use iCloud to sync my Logic folders between Macs?

So, I'm looking for a way to keep my MacBook and iMac in sync with regards to Logic (Pro 9 - downloaded). I figure I want the following folders on a two-way sync:
1) Application Support/Logic
2) Application Support/GarageBand
3) Audio/Apple Loops
4) Audio/Impluse Responses
5) My Logc folder in my Music folder
Have been looking at iCloud recently but don't know if it'll do this. If not, know of any any decent software for this?
Thanks.

WorldOfWires is probably referring to the audio content found in their home folder, not the factory content.
~/
Hopefully iCloud functionality will be added in the future.
Currently I'm using ChronoSync to sync my ~/Library/Audio folders across machines.
