How can I move to iCloud without Lion, Vista or Windows 7, even though I have an iPad?

I want to move to iCloud for use with my iPad 2, but have no plans at the moment to upgrade my laptop or desktop to Lion. My work computer is stuck at Windows 5, so that's not an option. If I do nothing, will my email still remain available until which time I decide to upgrade to Lion? I tried today to choose that option on my work computer, but it just kicked me into iDisk. Could they (or I) do this at an Apple store?

The best way to do things is to use sync. If you wish do use other methods it would become complicated.

How can I turn off iCloud without losing my documents?

How can I turn off iCloud without losing my documents?
When I try to sign out Icloud I get the warning (( If you turn off Documents & Data, all documents stored in Icloud will be removed from this Mac))
I don,t want to remove my document on my computer, what should I do?

If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac. Then turn off icloud.
Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud. In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
You can move these files to another folder to save them.

HT201104 how can I move my iCloud folder to another drive on my pc

How can I move my iCloud folder from one drive (C:\) on my PC to another drive (E:\) on the same PC? I have more space available on E:\ than I have on C:\ so I want to take advantage of the extra space, but not sure how or if I can move my iCloud folder?

How can i reboot my mac without lion cd previous owner installed it thru itunes?

how can i reboot my mac without lion cd previous owner installed it thru itunes?

Lion is usually installed through the App Store not through iTunes. There is no Lion CD. If you need to perform activities normally requiring an installer DVD, then you do it as follows:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
This will boot the Recovery HD and present a main menu of options such as Reinstall Lion, Restore a Time Machine backup, and run Disk Utility to repair the hard drive. There are additional options in the Utilities menubar item.

How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?

How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?
I myself think that (for instance) "A tribe called Quest" should be sorted under "A", not "T".
Now I can edit the sort options manually per track and/or per selection, but I would really like to just kill this "iTunes-knows-how-you-should-sort"-feature in iTunes.
Anyone any suggestion on how to do that?
Thanks

Here is a modified version of one of Doug's Scripts. My modification was to add Sort Name to the list of tags that could be changed. I tried it on a single track and it worked. I recommend backing up your library first. Select the tracks you want to change (or all tracks) and run the script from the Applescript Editor. If it works as intended, save it so you can apply it to newly imported tracks. And, yes, I know this isn't the exact answer to your question, you want to change a preference setting in iTunes (if there is such a setting).
Original script can be forund at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=thistagthattag
Modified script is below. Start up Applescript Editor, paste it into a new window. Start up iTunes and select the tracks to modify. Click Run in the Applescript Editor. Follow the instructions.
(* Put This In That
v2.0 april 22 2008

HT204053 how can i move an icloud email address from one ipod to another?

Hi
My kids have ipods and wanted icloud activated. Foolishly I set up an icloud email account but used my son's name on my daughter's ipod. How can I switch the icloud email account to my son's ipod?
Thanks,

I don't really understand iCloud, but I have an Apple ID since both my kids are underage (8 and 11). They share my Apple ID, but have different Ipods. Can/Should I have separate iCloud emails for them? To recap, I have 1 Apple account, but have 2 kids, a boy and a girl. How do I have separate id's for their individual ipods using icloud when I have one Apple ID?

How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone, since it doesn't synch with my ipad?

How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone 4, since it doesn't sync with my ipad mini?

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account). You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

On the new phone, Settings App > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. When it is done it will ask if you want to Restore From iCloud Backup, pick this.

How can I move photos from pictures to my Iomega external hard drive? I have copied all photos, however it won't allow me to paste them. The paste button is grayed out.

How can I move photos from pictures to my external hard drive? I have copied all photos, however it won't allow me to paste the photos. The paste button is grayed out.

Do you want to copy some pictures to the external drive, or do you want to move your whole iPhoto library? The latter will free up hard drive space on your start up disk; the procedure is explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
Note this is not the same as a Time Machine backup.
If on the other hand you want to copy some photos from one drive to another, you can just drag and drop them from one location to another. This is a true copy, the originals will remain intact.

Can someone tell me how to delete a number which is stored in my messages list even though i have deleted the text message itself?

Hi. Can anyone help me? I am trying to delete a phone number which appears in my Messages list even though i have deleted the text message content it came from.

Try logging into your Yahoo account from a computer, search out the contact you are trying to delete and manually correct or delete the bad contact.
The bad information might be hidden as a second address or other contact information (or misspelled) and not be showing up on the iphone but will pull up the address anyway.
I had one old address in a contact that kept pulling up each time i tried to email him. The new address was there, but the old address was what the phone kept showing. When I edited the contact info from my computer the old address went away, and the new address started poping up.

How can I move my iCloud account to another Apple ID?

I know it might be a long shot, but I have recently made a new iTunes/AppleID account, and want to move my iCloud account from my old account to the new one without it being tied to the old one in any way. Is there a way to do this?

How can I disconnect from iCloud without password.

Hi,
      I have lost my Apple ID password, So I have lost my iCloud password too. I am unable to login on iCloud service. I was unable to Off option "Find my iPhone"
I tried everything but nothing is happen, i cant logout from iCloud, The mail ID which registered with apple that is also blocked. So nothing is option balance, then I reset device to Factory Restore option. But now again iPhone is asking the same icloud account and password. Now this iPhone is useless.
      Actually one of my colleague bought this iPhone 4 from second hand market one year back, he took the same apple ID what seller has given him and he is using it since 1 year, Now that guy may change his password and this guy is unable to use appstore. To put new ID we need to log out from old ID and to log out from old ID phone is asking password, so there is the problem started.
   Can anyone help me to log out from iCloud without password, please...
Thanks
Pramod

From what you say the phone has been 'Activation Locked' by a previous owner - who presumably either sold it to the second-hand market or had it stolen and it landed up there.
If this is the case, only the person who set the lock can unlock it. If you can't get hold of them to do this then the phone is permanently unusable.
Even if you had set up a new Apple ID and logged into that the Activation Lock would have kicked in when you reset or updated the phone.

How to pay for icloud? I no longer trust apple with my credit card. How can we pay for icloud without using a credit card?

Having had recently a problem with my credit card with itunes (the only place I ever used that particular card), and several fraudulent charges, I no longer wish to give my credit card information to itunes or any other apple outfit. Can we pay for icloud by cheque, or money order, or some other way, perhaps a bank account where I would leave just enough money to cover the payment. This would be the only I would pay for icloud. Please let me know. thanks.

See here:

iTunes Store credit or gift cards cannot be used as a form of payment to upgrade your iCloud storage (payment methods accepted include credit and debit cards).

How can I link an image without leaving the existing window in adobe acrobat??

Hi everybody
I'm new using adobe acrobat, but I saw (once) that in a manual, they linked a image.
Just by passing the mouse over the linked word, the image appears "over" the pdf, without leaving the existing window
Is this still possible?? and How??
Thanks for your help

If you need to do it very often, I've developed a web-service that allows
you to enter a phrase (let's say "Product 1"), and have an image "pop-up"
whenever the user hovers or clicks that phrase in your document. Contact me
personally for more information.
