How can I keep messages on the iCloud server?

I now compute from two locations, home 1 and home 2, with home 1 being my main machine. When I'm at home 2, how can I use Mail to read my messages but keep them on the server so that when I return to home 1, I can download to my main Mac? I can't find a switch in preferences that allows me to do this.

If you have verified that the iPad and iPhone cannot see the messages after the Mac Pro at home2 downloads them, it's probably something on that Mac Pro. The smart mailbox on the other system was a false lead.
Please verify that the messages are still in the Inbox on the Mac Pro after the same messages have disappeared from view on the iPad and iPhone. I think that's what you said, so I'll assume for the moment that that's the case.
If you have multiple email accounts set up on the Mac Pro and not all are set up on the other devices, it is possible that the messages have somehow found their way into the wrong Inbox.
Can you check the individual Inboxes to verify that the messages are still in the iCloud Inbox specifically? You can click the disclosure triangle on Inbox to show the various inboxes.

Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.

Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.
Is there any way to re-number them in the order I have chosen so that they can then be sorted by number? The scans are all from pre-digital images that I wish to move to a photobook and I don't want to have to organise them twice!
Thanks for any suggestions.

I was a bit short, Chris, sorry. It is limited, what can be posted, when typing on an iPad.
Now I am back on my Mac. I meant the following: Batch Change the date for a large range of photos, that should have a date stepped in increments.
Select all Photos at once and use the command "Photos > Batch Change".
Then set the date for the first photo and select an increment, e.g. one minute.
Now all photos will get a new date assigned, incremented by one minute, in the sequence you have selected. So you will be able to sort them by date. This way it will be unnecessary to change the titles or filenames.

I have 2 iphones and a macbook on one mobile me account. How can I keep mail in the macbook and one iphone private from the other iphone?

I have an iPhone 3G, an iPhone 3GS, and a MacBook on one macmail and mobile me account. How can I keep mail on the MacBook and iPhone 3 private from the iPhone 3GS?

Pretty much. I don't understand why you need to worry about MobileMe, though. I'd guess the vast majority of us with iDevices don't have MobileMe accounts at all. That's pretty much why it failed.

How can I keep apps in the order I prefer? I've rearranged via iTunes but every time I power cycle the phone, the apps go back to their original positions...

Hi kelori617,
If you are having issues organizing the Apps on your iPhone via iTunes, you may want to double-check the steps in the following article and make sure you are syncing any changes to your device:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync and organize iOS apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12115
iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync and organize iOS apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12315
If all of the steps are correct and the changes still aren't being retained when you restart your iPhone, you may want to make sure your data is backed up, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings, restore your data from the backup, then test to see if you can organize your apps via iTunes:

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud

I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud?

The only way photos are stored in icloud is in a backup from an ios device. This assumes that icloud backup was turned on and that camera roll was turned on. Note that photo stream is a slightly different service that is used to sync photos from one device to another, it's not really a storage service.
To retrieve photos that are in a backup, you need to reset a device (wipe all data from it) and perform a restore. Note that many users have had problems getting their photos back from a backup - for one reason or another. Remember, the suggested way of storing photos is to sync them to a computer or service like Dropbox.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

Apple's Terms of Use for iCloud say:
No Right of Survivorship
You agree that your Account is non-transferable and that any rights to your Apple ID or Content within your Account terminate upon your death. Upon receipt of a copy of a death certificate your Account may be terminated and all Content within your Account deleted. Contact iCloud Support at www.apple.com/support/icloud for further assistance.
Basically you have no rights in his account: if you know his password you can enter the account and retrieve personal data to use elsewhere. If he had purchased music, films or apps in iTunes you cannot transfer these to your own account.
If you don't know the password it seems doubtful that Apple will allow you access to it. However as far as all these questions are concerned the authoritative answers must come from Apple so you will need to contact them as indicated above.

I have lost all my pics on my PC and would like to upload them to iCloud from my iPad. As they aren't in Photostream, but are in "Photos" or "iPhoto", how can I upload them to the iCloud?

They are currently in Albums within Photos, and also within albums in iPhoto, but not in Photostream. How do I upload them to the iCloud (I have bought space to ensure they will all load).

Icons keep leaving my dock. I put them back and they leave again. How can I keep them on the dock?

icons keep leaving my dock. I put them back, and they leave again. How do I keep them on the dock?

Did you request that they be left in the Dock? To do this you activate the application and its icon will be in the Dock, click and hold on it, a pop-up menu will show near the icon and in it will be a menu with "Option" in it. Click on "Option" and you will find an item that will say "Keep In Dock", click on it and the icon will stay in the Dock. If you have done all this and the icon still goes away someone else will have to help you.

I have Pages for the iPad and desktop, how can I save it besides the iCloud on my computer and not the iPad?

I have purchased Pages for my desktop iMac and Macbook Air. I also have it on my iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. They are all synced through the icloud, but the space is now starting to fill up. (I am the guy asking trivia questions and it fills up with A LOT of questions). BUT, after each week, I can get rid of 3 documents (16 questions per document). So, I have roughly 80 games worth of trivia and half of which I would like to save on my computer. I can pull it up on my computer and it shows that I have that from the icloud, but not on the desktop. I have lots of space on my desktop to save these, but the iPad is not as large for space.
How can I transfer roughly 40 documents (from pages) from the icloud to the desktop, (for permanent storage)? do I have to do each one individually, or is there a select documents you want to move? Then I can delete from ipad as it seems to take up space on both the ipad and the icloud.
Thank you in advance.

Just ignore that post above. I tried to edit it but was too late. Deleting a document from iPad does delete it from iCloud.
Ignore the line 'There is no data limit on iCloud.com so you could keep all your documents on there' because of course then they will sync to your devices and that's not what you want.
Sorry, for the confusion.
Removing documents from iCloud:
iCloud: Remove documents from iCloud
You can also move documents to your computer by opening Pages, select iCloud and all the documents you want to move, and drag them onto your desktop (or folder).

How can I delete messages from the local Sent folder without deleting from the remote server?

I am running out of disk space on my local machine. Analysing this, I can see that a large amount of space is being taken up by local storage of Sent emails from my IMAP synchronised account.
I do not see how I can delete the local copies from my PC without them being deleted from the Server as well. There is an account setting option under Synchronisation and Storage to delete messages, but it says they will be deleted from both the local machine and the remote server.
I need to keep the server versions as these are business accounts and it is important I have all my old messages stored somewhere.

Short answer: get a bigger hard disk.
You could disable synchronization and free up the space on your local disk without loosing the messages. However, this would eliminate the possibility to create backups of your messages.<br>
Since you mentioned this is important business mail, you shouldn't take chances.

How can I keep signed in on Icloud

Icloud doesn't keep me signed in even after I ckeck the box. How can I correct this? Thanks

This should fix the issue:
Special thanks to Roger Wilmut for providing the detailed instructions on the website below.
https://discussions.apple.com/people/Roger%20Wilmut1
1. Shut down Mail. Next, deselect "iCloud Mail" in the iCloud preferences pane in System Preferences FIRST. If not, it will automatically pre-populate the wrong p9X.mail.me.com server names again overwriting all your work.
2. Now restart Mail and go to preferences. If "iCloud" mail is still showing, select it and click on the "-" at the bottom to remove it.
3. Now follow the instructions here:http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html (disregard that this is for Snow Leopard, it DOES work on Lion) paying attention to the use of the "option" key when needed to avoid Mail automatically "creating" the account and closing out the preferences window.
4. Ensure the correct server names of "imap.mail.me.com and smtp.mail.me.com" are still there and close Mail preferences and now select "get mail". It may prompt one last time for your iCloud password, enter it and you are done.
Good Luck.

How can I play music from the icloud using apple tv (2) controled by remote app on iphone so the TV is switched off but stereo on

I was blown away when I started using the new remote app with Apple tv to play music from my iMac on my best music speakers in the living room!!! However there are still 2 things required to make things ultra simple:
1 Not to have my iMac switched on to have to stream music to the Apple tv (I've now started using iTunes Match which has almost fixed this one)
2 Not have to have my TV switched on to control my amplifier through the apple tv. (I can do this using the remote app on the iphone but only for music streaming from my iMac it wont work for music I have in iCloud, apart from music now playing. I can't search/browse any other music)
If this is fixed it will be absolutely awesome!!! As my apple tv will replace all the HIFI separates apart form my amplifier and I can control what music my amp plays using the best user interface in the world my iphone/ipad

Hi, I don't have this bug. I can play music through my apple tv with the TV switched off and use the apple remote app to control the apple tv.
My problem involves:
icloud music ----> broadband router ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier. Using the remote app on the iphone to control whats playing. This almost works but in the remote app you can only see the currently playing song, you can't search/browse your music in the icloud (itunes match).
What does work is:
iMac-itunes music ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier controlled by the remote app in the iphone with teh tv off. I can view my itunes library with the tv off using the iphone remote app. I would like to do this but using my music in iCloud. That would be awesome!!!

How can I keep apps in the same spaces?

I must be missing something, but -- in OS 10.6, I could use spaces to make sure my frequently used apps opened in the same spot, and not on top of each other. How can I accomplish the same thing in Lion?
Thanks
