Can someone explain Apple Calendars to me?

I'm getting worn out ensuring that my allegiance to Apple is worth the money and time.
I put data in one device and expect it to show up in the others...phone/laptop/Ipad. Happens sporacdically and now I get e-mails telling me about my calendar. I seem to trust Google to keep track of this stuff more than the I-Cloud.
Not a lughead but not a geek. There are so many calendar groupings to choose from-Gmail/Cloud/computer? Which one do I stay in to make sure the data goes everywhere.
Thanks,
Boards

If you use the default Calendar app that came with your iPad you can have calendar items copied to other devices. You musts first have iCloud set up, turned on and running the same iCloud account on all your devices. Then make sure Calendar is turned on in Settings > iCloud
All devices must be running iOS 6. And your laptops, for best performance with iCloud should have OSX 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) although I think it can be running OSX 10.6.8 or 10.7.x.

Can Someone explain Apple's Notes App to me?

I have a couple of questions about Apple's Notes app. For one, why do I have two different notes accounts. One is from my Gmail, and the other says "From my Mac." I created neither of these directly. I have forwarded some notes to myself and I think that is what created the Gmail account. But it is just confusing.
And secondly, my notes are synced I believe. But is this syncing just part of my overall iPhone backup. Or are the notes synced somewhere else also (like in my documents folder)? Is it possible to sync them somewhere else?
Thanks.

Do you have an option for syncing Notes over the air with your Gmail account on your iPhone? Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Select your Gmail account. Is there a selection for Notes - on or off?
The "From my Mac" means you are syncing Notes direct with the Mail.app on your Mac via the iTunes sync process, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
And secondly, my notes are synced I believe. But is this syncing just part of my overall iPhone backup. Or are the notes synced somewhere else also (like in my documents folder)? Is it possible to sync them somewhere else?
Notes on your iPhone are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process.

Notes are synced with the Mail.app Notes feature on your Mac which can't be synced with anything else.

Can someone explain how to set up an administrator account so that I can have my phone and my daughters have separate apple ids?

I mistakenly updated to the latest version of iOS and ever since then I can send messages to my daughter and I receive them but she does not. She has an iphone also and her phone is under my apple id also. Someone told me that I could set up an Administrator Account so that she can still be under my account but she has her own ID and that will fix the problem with text/imessages. I can't find anything on the website that explains how to do that. Can someone explain that to me?
Thanks!

I'm still not clear on what you are trying to accomplish. If you have an iPhone and she does as well you should have your own Apple IDs.
If you want to pay for any purchases she makes with her phone as far as apps/music goes than that is what Family sharing is for.
In my case my Wife and I are setup for family sharing. When she purchases music/apps it charges my credit card. This setup also allows me to share my past music/app purchases with her and vice versa.

Can someone explain purchasing, activating and signing up for iPhone.

Hi, iPhone hits UK in November and I'd like to be prepared. Can someone explain to me how it's going to work. In the USA where do you buy the phone - the Apple store, and what do you do just walk in a buy the actual phone as if it were an iPod? And then how does activation work? What is it, just registering the iPhone with Apple or signing up with the network provider? What stops you from just buying the phone and putting another AT&T or O2 sim in and not signing up for one of the contracts?

Presuming that it will look pretty much the same as it did for US customers, it will be something like this..
You walk into your local Apple store and purchase an iPhone, or you can order one through the UK online Apple store (or, presumably, O2 will sell them in their local shops).
You connect the iPhone to any computer which meets the minumum system requirements. It will recognize a new, unactivated iPhone and take you through the activation, which includes:
1. Entering your name, address, and payment info
2. Create an iTunes Music Store account if you do not already have one
3. Select which type of call plan you want (how many call minutes, how many text messages, etc)
4. Specifying whether you want a new number assigned or want to port your number from another provider (assuming this can be done in the UK)
You will then wait while the activation is completed, which can take several minutes. Once your phone is activated you will be able to make calls, send text messages, and use all the other functions of the iPhone, including syncing your contacts, calendars, and music to it. If you are porting a number from another service, once the port is complete you will be able to receive calls. If you are being assigned a new phone number, you will be able to receive calls right away.

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN ME THE DISPLAY QUALITY

I have just purchased a new macbook pro 15" 2.4ghz. Im a designer, i havent even created my appleid, im on my sisters... i made a sacrifice to buy this $2700 laptop.
and Im so dissapointed...
I CANT SEE SMOOTH GRADIENTS.. all i see are ugly lines... i dont get it, for such a high class LAPTOP.
Apple support please help me solve this. ive been reading forums about 6bit screens for this laptop.. i dont want to believe that. can someone explain? im returning this...

I can verify that all of Apple's laptops use 18 bit (6 bits per Red, Green Blue) color, which is about 260,000 colors. The OS then using dithering to fake the missing colors. Despite what you have read, they are incapable of 24 bit 'millions of colors'.
The problem with this argument is that, when it comes down to it, the color displays are made up of dithered red, green, and blue elements anyway. We accept that this form of display gives us "full color", so it's difficult to argue that millions of colors can't be represented using the same mechanism. It's not quite 16.7 million (more like 16.3 or something) but Apple's text has always taken care to read "millions of colors" rather than 16.7 million (which you'll still see on the specifications for the Cinema displays).
Just for informational sakes though, these kinds of 6-bit displays don't rely on OS spatial dithering; they actually make use of their very fast switching to perform temporal dithering, switching a pixel between two shades very quickly to generate an in-between shade. That's why for most people the result is usually visually indistinguishable from true 8-bit color, and doesn't look like what you'd see with traditional dithering.
If the OP is noticing severe banding on gradients, it's more likely to be an issue with color profiles than with the display being 6-bit.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

When you enable photo stream on your Mac, in imports photos currently in your photo stream. However, photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them. When you enable photo stream on your Mac, you will only receive photos added in the last 30 days, as the others are no longer in your photo stream.
If you want to get all your old photos on your Mac, save them to your camera roll (if they aren't already there) by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Once they are in your camera roll, import them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Another option would be to create a shared photo stream containing the older photos and invite yourself (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99). Then check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and you will see this shared photo stream on your Mac.

Can someone explain wireless internet to me?

Ok so I have a new macbook pro (purchased yesterday).
I don't really understand wireless internet - can someone explain what I have to do to get wireless internet.
I'm currently on ADSL. I did notice that I was able to pick-up a wirelesss internet connection in my lounge room. So I'm assuming neighbours near by have wirelesss iternet (would that be correct)?
Do I have to purchase a base station for wireless to work correctly in my house?
Help would be appreciated.

Hi, Tea. Hope you like your new MBP.
I'm not the expert, but I have a Airport Express base station. I plug my cable modem into it, my speakers, and my printer, and I can do everything wireless. Airport was (and maybe still is) $100.00. I know you can get other stations (non-apple) far cheaper. And if others do, more power to them. But I don't know whether they work with itunes. You can get the extreme base station for more. I think it gives more range and may be faster.
It's pretty simple to set up. You plug it in the wall. And then plug in your usbs into the airport. You then set it up by clicking on your internet activity button near the top right of your screen.
As for using other neighbor networks, I don't know what the legalities are. But I've heard it's not safe --- and that's enough for me. When you set up your network, you can encrypt it with a password. I see several neighbors' networks too, but theirs are password protected. You should do the same. Plus, theirs may be slower than you'd like, or sometimes out of range.
Good luck!
Lindsay

Can someone explain pricing?

I'm a bit conflicted about pricing issues with other english-speaking countries. Can someone explain the process?

Just like with apps, there is a floating/similar price based on the same tier, region by region. That's why Apple uses tiers, so they can adjust localized pricing while keeping the same tier. If you want similar pricing across regions, use the same tier in all.
This goes back to when music was the only thing in the store and it's not unusual for Apple to make adjustments from time to time. I believe it's a concession to the various industries, etc.

Please can someone explain how to delete email addresses? I have people who when I type in their name it comes up with the correct email address but then when you hit return to confirm it promptly changes the name to someone else (always the same someone

Please can someone explain how to delete and email address that when typed in brings up one name but when you hit return to confirm it jumps to another name. I can't find them in my contacts list but they do come up when you type the first few letters of a name.
EG If I type xyz and the name of the person comes up, when I press return to confirm that's the one I want then it jumps to [email protected], always the same def address.
I can't fathom it out.
Thanks
Terri

Try this:
Start a new email. In the To address bar, type in xyz like you normally do, press return to confim, and when the address you want to remove shows up in the address bar, move your cursor over the address you want to delete.
A small triangle next to the name will show up. click on it, a drop down menu will open, click Remove from Previous Recipients List. Then do the drop down menu again and Remove Address.
Good luck.
