Can I use iCloud to synchronize birthday notifications?

I would like to standardize the way I'm notified of upcoming birthdays. The default on the iPhone is a week before the date, with a limited number of other choices offered. Ideally, I'd like to set things so that there's an alert on my Macs and on my iOS devices at noon 1 week before and a second alert at 8 am the day of the event.
It seems I can do this for individual birthdays on the Mac where I create the event, but it doesn't propagate through iCloud to my other Macs, nor does it affect the notifications I receive on iOS devices.
I've not been able to figure out a way to change the default birthday notification settings even so they'll apply to all newly created birthdays I add in Address Book.
Thanks so much.

Thanks for the response.
The links do not explain how I get the thousands of pictures I have accumulated on my PC over the years up into the iCloud. I have 25gb of storage space there.
Are you certain this is possible? If so, could shed a little more light on how to do it.
Btw, everything on my iPhone is bouncing back and forth to the iCloud and to Outlook perfectly. It's just my legacy photos that I don't know how to deal with.
Thanks again.

    Thanks! One more question ..... Will I have to enter appointments on an iCloud default calendar by logging in to my iCloud account every time, or can I just enter data on calendars in my 2 devices?

    Can I use iCloud as my library instead of using local storage?  Would I be able to synchronize the music on my phone? and make CDs out of the my music in the icloud using itunes?

    Many thanks JEM24 for your help.  Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone  the actual cost of each additional  gigabyte of storage  to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

  • My iPhone although i use iCloud to synchronize. does anyone have en idea what can be done?

    i've been on lion for a week now, only to discover that ical on my mac book pro only showa a fraction of the appointments i've entered on my iPhone although i use iCloud to synchronize. does anyone have en idea what can be done

    Try posting this in the iPhone and iCloud forums as well and you will probably get more response from users of those programs.

  • How can I use iCloud-keychain if i can not find my country in the country code list?

    How can I use iCloud-keychain if i can not find my country in the country code list?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your country code does not appear in the list…
    Go to System Preferences > iCloud > Keychain and enter your Apple ID password (Settings > iCloud > Keychain, from a mobile device)
    Select the ‘Create Different Code’ option. (Mobile devices only)
    Select the advanced option and choose whether to create a random code or no code, selecting the later allows syncing across devices but not with Apple’s servers.

  • Can I use iCloud Photo Library on just one of my Devices

    Anyone?

  • HT201269 How can I transfer photo's from one ipad to another. I believe I can't use iCloud as the photo's were originally synced to the ipad via iTunes's

    I have some photo's on an ipad 2 that were put on there through syncing on iTunes,  I would like them to be placed on my new ipad. I understand that I can't use iCloud ?  Just to point out u no longer own the desk top pc from where I synced the original photos.  Hope this make sense!?

    First import the photos to a computer's itunes, then sync them to the other device.

    The computer I use for Itunes (my laptop) only has XP so I can't use ICloud:(
    I have a desktop that operates using with Vista.
    I downloaded 10.5 and sought to sync my two iphones and two ipads with the desktop in order to use ICloud. However I got warning messages that if I synced with this computer that had none of my extensive library of apps, music, podcasts, etc. would be on it, I would lose it all.
    I did authorize the computer. I knew enough to do that but am terrified that I will lose everything that I have accumulated and still won't be able to use ICloud.
    Isn't there a way to do this? Shift my library FROM my devices to the desktop?
    Thanks

    This is a tedious solution, which is stupid!  And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization.  I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
    And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

  • Can I use iCloud if I no longer have an Apple product?

    My phone was corrupted when I updraded to iOS7. After 3 visits and 3 complete wipeouts and resets - the last time using no restore because they told me the backups were corrupted -  it still is very unstable. I cannot use the phone is this condition. This beautiful phone was in perfect condition before it was damaged by the unstable upgrade process. Even my battery is still excellent. I have to get a new phone now and of course I can't buy an iphone since Apple refuses to compensate me in any way for rendering my present phone unstable. Can I use icloud, which I have on my Windows PC, after I no longer have my iphone? Verizon will allow me to trade it in for a gift card but it must be turned off cellular service and then surrendered. How can I make the transfer without loosing data?

    Your data will remain in iCloud, and can still be accessed from your PC, even if you no longer have your iPhone.  Just be sure not to delete the data from your phone while it is still signed into your account, or it will also be deleted from iCloud.  Instead, if you are turning in the phone, follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661.  Before doing so, if you want to save your photos, save any photo stream photos to your camera roll, then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Also, Apple will delete any iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity.  If you're planning on replacing it with another iPhone, you'll want to do so before your backup is deleted.

  • 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?

    I only have a Windows 7 pc and a Windows 8 laptop.  Can I use iCloud on these two devices.   I can't find anywhere to open an iCloud account.

    You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using your iCloud ID on your PC.

    My wife just got this iPad mini and I want to copy the address book on my iPad 2 over to the mini. Can I use iCloud to do this and what are the steps. The 2 devices have different Apple IDs.

    Download the "My Contacts Backup" app from App Store to your iPad 2. Make a backup and send it by email to your wife's address. Open this email from iPad mini and tap the attachment to import the contacts into iPad mini Contacts app.

    Can I use iCloud to since many users to one account for my business and have me as a administrator to oversee and change my employees calendars and contacts??

    Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID?   (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)
