Can I use icloud with my ipod touch ?

It's a 2nd gen, 8GB, version 4.2.1. I'm not even able to follow steps for setting up icloud because when I go to settings and software updates, there is not even a software update category.

Thanx Winston. I understand what the "cloud" is and is not but I just received an ad about "iCloud Everywhere" via iTunes while shopping and I see it on Apple's website too. Through " iCloud Everywhere" you can upload music and thus "make it available on all your devices", according to Apple. Media can then be either streamed to all your devices through the cloud or you can download. They mention for example that you can download a movie if you know you'll be in a place where wifi is not available. They also point out that you can save songs that you didn't buy via iTunes Store and later stream through all your devices. Ergo my question. If I have an iTunes account and buy the iCloud Everywhere subscription I should be able to upload to my Everywhere files regardless of computer registration. Correct? There are programs outside Apple that claim to be able to merge differently registered Apple devices and they want the same amount of money as iCloud Everywhere. I would rather stay with Apple if that's possible. After all it's not fair to lose your media just because your computer crashes or is replaced. I know I raise several issues here so if you can help on the iCloud Everywhere question I'd appreciate any help.

  • Can I use iCloud with my iPod nano and windows laptop?

    not clear how to use iCloud with an iPod Nano and a Win 8.1 PC

    iCloud doesn't work with the iPod nano directly, and will only work on a PC with an already-existing iCloud account; these need to be created from a Mac or an iOS device.

  • Using iCloud with my iPod touch

    I can't update the operating system on my iPod touch so that I can use iCloud.  It appears to keep downloading the new version to iTunes on my desktop computer but never seems to transfer to iPod.  Can anyone help with that?

    I have iTunes version 10.5.2.11.  Everytime I plug my iPod in, a message pops up in iTunes telling me that "A new iPod software version (5.0.1) is available for the iPod....  I select "Download and Update"  (I've tried choosing "Download" only also).  I wait and wait while it downloads (according to the menu on the left side of the iTunes window.  Then nothing.  The file disappears from the left side of the iTunes screen and its like I never did anything.  It happens EVERY time I plug in the iPod.  And I've repeated this numerous times.  Help, please.

  • I have a Sony AC-U50AD charger can I use it on my ipod touch and ipad mini - there is a switch for "ipod"

    I have a Sony AC-U50AD charger can I use it on my ipod touch and ipad mini - there is a switch for "ipod" - I've had the adapter for several years and I think it's ok for my ipod touch but since it pre-dates both of these products I want to try and make sure it's ok to use with them before I do use it. Thanks.

    If iTunes does not see your iPod then your only hope is a data recovery company. Not cheap.
    However, you may be able to get some photos by:
    Photos
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore another iPOd, iPhone or iPad from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:

  • How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices?  Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

    Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

  • I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.

    No you won't necessarily lose your photos when upgrading but it's very very unwise not to back up first. Backing up is like using a seat belt in a car. You can drive without one for years and have no issues, but if you do have a problem the outcome will be a lot worse. So, too, with back ups. And upgrading is one of those times when the risks of a problem are higher.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • How do I back up Contacts on my  iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way I export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

    How do I back up Contacts on my  iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way Ican  export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

    Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
    Before syncing contacts with an empty Windows Contacts address book, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data which you want to select. Syncing direct with Windows Contacts via the iTunes sync process is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

    It can be upgraded, if you want more use out of it.
    It just can't be upgraded enough for iCloud.
    For example, you can upgrade it to 10.5. But not 10.7.

  • TS1702 I have recently begun to use Pages and want to transfer a document between the iPad and my PC. I can transfer to the iPad, but not the other way, and am told I do not have sufficient 'privileges'. What does this mean? Also can't use iCloud with Pag

    I have recently begun to use Pages and want to transfer a document between the iPad and my PC. I can transfer to the iPad, but not the other way, and am told I do not have sufficient 'privileges'. What does this mean? Also I can't use iCloud with Pages between the iPad and PC,  although I purchased extra storage in order to do this.

    If you have a PC, you don't have Pages on it. You can transfer Pages presentations to/from iCloud via http://www.icloud.com , however -- you just won't have an app on your PC to deal with Pages documents. Make sure that you have your iCloud account properly configured on your iPad.
