Do I need to have my Wi-Fi connection turned on to use iCloud or will my cell phone service provider be enough?

I don't understand the whole logistics of iCloud. For my iPhone and Mac to be usable with iCloud do I need to have the Wi0Fi turned on on my iPhone for iCloud to work?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photo Stream will only work over wifi, documents & data has an option to allow syncing over 3G in addition to wifi, all other services will work over 3G.

    Do I need to have Airport Express to connect to other computers on our homer network?

    Not necessarily. You could use the "Create Network" feature of your MBP's built-in AirPort card to provide an Ad-hoc wireless network for local wireless-capable computers to connect to.

  • I have an iPhone 3gs and will be getting a new iPhone 4s. Once I have updated my existing 3gs with iCloud and backed up to my computer, will I be able to transfer my existing data to my new 4s using iCloud or will I need to do this from my iMac.

    Thanks

    The Apple genius at the Apple store told me this would work. It failed. Basically, updating your iPhone 3GS to iOS5 wipes your 3GS of its data so you can't really do this. Some data worked. Music, photos etc didn't work at all.
    I suggest avoiding iCloud completely for a few weeks until Apple gets it working.

  • Have a large library of music on my iphone 5s. I have just upgraded to iphone6. I believe I need to have all my music in my itunes library to transfer it to my new phone - however all I can see in my itunes library is music I have purchased recently

    I have a large library of music on my iphone 5s. I have just upgraded to iphone6. I believe I need to have all my music in my itunes library to transfer it to my new phone - however all I can see in my itunes library is music I have purchased recently. This library of music is from years ago. Ho can I get all my music on my new phone ? Thanks

    See turingtest2's user tip on Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.  You should, however, maintain your library on your PC and maintain a regular backup of it.  iPhones are neither designed as nor suitable as data storage devices.

  • I just purchased a used wireless Mighty Mouse. Do I need to have Blue Tooth installed on my machine to use it?

    Hey
    So I just purchased a used wireless Mighty Mouse at a Goodwill very inexpensively on the 50/50 chance it would work. Right out of the gate I figured I might need to have Blue Tooth installed on my machine to use it, is this the case?
    I have a Mac Pro Tower running 10.6.7, but I didn't opt for the Blue Tooth a few years ago when I purchased it. I knew I should've!
    Thanks.

    Well I purchased the Mac Pro in 2009 I believe. It could've been late 2008, but I can't quite remember. When I ordered it from the Apple store online I customized it. I had the amount of Ram I wanted put into it, and had two hard drives installed. While doing all of my customizations I could've opted to have the Blue Tooth card installed into the computer but for some reason I didn't see myself using it. I did get the generic wired mouse that came with the computer.

  • TS1741 Do i need to have  the computer in same home I'm using my Apple TV in order for me to AirPlay

    Do I need to have my computer in the same location to use Apple TV and AirPlay my i phone to my tv ?

    No.
    The iPhone will Airplay to AppleTV without needing the computer on, but must be on the same network.
    The computer works via Home Sharing separately to share compatible iTunes content or photos.
    Airplay mirroring is available on modern Macs with Mountain Lion also.

  • Can I recover notes I accidentally erased from my iPhone? I have the newest software and updates and I use iCloud.

    Can I recover notes I accidentally erased from my iPhone? I have the newest software and updates and I use iCloud.

    Is your carrier still AT&T? What error message do you get when you try to activate it?
    Have you tried a new SIM? Was the phone jailbroken? Was the computer you used to update it ever used to jailbreak a phone? In general, this problem is caused by one of the following:
    1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
    2. Your phone is jailbroken.
    3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
    4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
    For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
    For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

  • I have mulitple copies appearing on my ipad after using icloud and itunes match, how do I get only 1 copy to appear?

    I am new to the Ipad, I just got the Ipad with retina display in and only have a 16gb memory. I wanted to use Icloud for my music and other items, but when I started using Icloud and Itunes match, my Ipad has up to 3 of the same song listed on the song list. and will repeat when I am listening to my music. I was wondering how I can get those multiple copies go away to just 1.

    My IPad states I have 4.1 GB available out of 5, but my IPad will not backup, says there is not enough space. What should I do?

    You are looking at the amount of storage that you have available on the actual iPad (Settings > General > About > Available) and not the amount that you have in the cloud (Settings > iCloud) ?

  • Hello I'm upgrading my iPhone 4S tmw to a iPhone 5c , I also have a iPad which I've used iCloud to get pics from phone to iPad, obviously if I delete my phone pics there gonna go from iPad too. Any idea what I can do please?

    Hello I'm upgrading my iPhone 4S tmw to a iPhone 5c , I also have a iPad which I've used iCloud to get pics from phone to iPad, obviously if I delete my phone pics there gonna go from iPad too. Any idea what I can do please?

    In addition to the very sound and useful information posted by Lawrence Finch, there is also a way to save the photos from the photo stream to the camera roll on the iPad so that even if the photo stream is turned off, the photos will remain on the iPad.
    Launch the photos app and them open the Photo Stream album. Select every photo that you want to save by tapping on them, then tap in the action/sharing icon and select  - Save to Camera Roll.
    Having said that, the information that Lawrence shared with you is very important and the instructions in both articles are very useful. Make use of them.

  • Do I need to have the SDK to update a PDF form using an HTML form for data entry?

    I would like to update as many PDF forms as possible based on
    the users initial log-in information so that they are not

    Can this be done using Javascript and does it require the SDK

    I would appreciate your help with this real-world scenario.

    Hello
    I am using Web Client with the DownLoadFile() option to download files from a site.  If too many requests come in too fast it will banned that address for 24 hours.  (A DDOS security measure) I need to have the program wait until the file
    is downloaded before making the next request but be running in the background so not to freeze the application.  A progress form will allow the user to know the status of the downloads. 
    I see something about asynchronous downloads but do not seem to understand how I would make use of it or if it is the method I want to use.
    If someone could point to or give a good example of what I need to do, it would be most welcome.
    David Edwards
    David,
    There are two ways which come to mind here, both using the WebClient:
    The first is that in a BackgroundWorker, you use the synchronous download method. The synchronous method is a blocking call so obviously it can only get one at a time, and when that one is completed, the loop then starts the next.
    The second way - also in a BackgroundWorker - is to use the asynchronous method. The reason for this is because only the asynch method provides events to monitor progress and know when the file has completed. This gets a bit more involved because you're
    still processing them in a loop, but it's definitely something that can be done - I've done it several times.
    You haven't really given many details, so beyond this general conceptual description there's not a lot more that can I can explain, but your goal definitely can be achieved using a WebClient.
    I hope this helps. :)
    Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.

  • I have a USA 4S phone and will now be living in Paris France.  Can I use my USA 4S with a French service provider like Orange?

    Can I use my USA 4S iphone in Paris France with a French service provider like Orange/France Telecom?

    Yes, but the phone has to be SIM unlocked first by the USA carrier, if it is locked. If you have an unlocked iPhone, then you can just pop in a Orange SIM.

  • HT2736 Does one need to have an iTunes Account (connected to their credit card) in order redeem gifted application?

    I need to find out if I can send multiple apps in the form of gifts to people who do not have itunes accounts(connected to their credit cards).
    Is that possibile?
    My goal would be to be able to send an app to someone who can then either right on their ipad or though itunes download the app without entering any credit card information or having to login to itunes.
    thanks
