How do I backup my iPhone to iCloud and restore backup to my iPad? My intention is to restore default settings to my iPad to start over and get it synced back up with my iPhone and not loose the apps on my iPad that are for iPad only.

I hope I am making sense to you. Thank you very much.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

Can i set up an apple id for my daughter and not loose the apps i got her thru my account?

So here's the thing... I gave my daughter my old ipod touch and have been downloading apps to it with my apple id account. I've realized now that she has the ability to change the progress of my games (that we both play, eg. smurfville) by logging into the game center. And she could also use up money in my accnt. Yes, I realize that I can just change my password, but I want her to be able to back up her games thru the game center, and downlaod apps with her own girft card $, etc. So I want to set her up with her own accnt, but dont want her to loose all the apps I got her with my accnt. Is that possible?

I should note for you that, although the apps are available, they are not put on her account. If she were to update them later on, she'll still have to use your information to update them and not hers. There is no way to actually transfer purchases. They only show available because your account is still there, and you guys are sharing a computer/device. Just figured I'd give you a head's up.

Hello Teddy53149 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Follow this procedure:
Change your OS X account name and home directory name - Apple Support
As they recommend and as always when you're messing with administrator accounts back everything up first.

I am having the same problem I think. With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch. I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore. Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
, so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat.

How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat. We had this working using Messages and Facetime (on the new machine) talking to my existing iChat account. One day last week, when Facetime rang, my kids answered on the iPad. Dang! Now it's all fouled up! The new iMac won't see my AIM account name and shows that I'm offline, because the iPad is off. We were able to call using "most recent call" in Facetime, but now I can't go and control that new iMac remotely to help with some email concerns the user is having. I'm trying to not personalize this too much, but it's grandkids talking to Grandma and Mom and Dad trying to solve new machine hiccups. Normally, I could just go in via iChat and control the other machine and troubleshoot, but I can't do it with Facetime only. My buddy list doesn't see the other computer even though we are connected on Facetime right now. My name is not highlighted for the other computer. What could have gone so wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

HT201070 I currently use OS 10.6.8 and Aperture 3, and just got a Nikon D600. It seems the the RAW Compatibility updates (4.01) are for use only with OS 10.7.5 or later, is that right? Do I need to update my whole OS to use this camera? Thank you!

Thanks to Bobthefisherman & Turbostar. Turns out I've got a corrupted disk (which I found out via "verify disk" on Disk Utility First Aid. Previously, I never thought to verify disk -- only to repair permissions -- so I never knew my HD had been corrupted.
Wasn't able to do a clean install of OSX10.6 because my SuperDrive only sporadically will load discs, so I am taking it to the Apple Store to see if they can do a clean install, and depending upon costs, get the Superdrive replaced.
The HD wasn't partioned by the way. And I did have just over 40GB of contiguous space.
Thanks again.

How do you make a photo an attachment and not in the body of the email

How do you attach a photo as an attachment and not in the body of the email?

If you attached the photo using the attach icon or attach command, it will act as an attachment on the recipient's end, even though you see it in Mail in the body of your message. If you drag and dropped your photo into your email, it will act as a placed graphic in the body of your message.

Syncing my iPad with my iMac will not update the apps software

Whenever I sync my iPad Air 2 to my iMac the updated apps on the iMac will not update the apps in the iPad. I have rebooted the iMac and iPad, tried different cords, and checked all settings. All other things in the iPad sync properly.

Are you using iTunes Match by chance? I had no problems whatsoever with play counts synching between any of my devices until I started using iTunes Match. I turned it off and magically my play counts synced. Once. Hasn't happened again though.

No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.

- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

When will Lion be released on DVD and not through the App Store?

I know this is probably not the right place to be asking this question but from whay I heard today that Lion will only be released through the App Store. I sure hope Apple changes their mind on this before July since I don't have the bandwidth to do this and I don't doubt that their are millions of other that are in the same boat.

They won't; at least they aren't with the new Mac mini and MacBook Air. They're taking a page from the WIndows world and putting a recovery partition on the hard drive rather than including reinstallation disks.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/
There is nothing from Apple to indicate that Lion will ever be available on DVDs (they will sell it on a USB flash drive starting sometime next month) nor that Apple will include separate installation media with any new Mac.
Regards.
