How do you customize icloud?

........people I know have been asking me what icloud is all about and I can't honestly provide them a simple explanation. I didn't sign up for the Musicmatch service either. it just seems to us the whole thing has not been articulated well.
You aren't on your own apparently, but once you grasp it, it will all fall into place.
Of the five icons on iCloud.com: Mail, Calendar, Contact and iWork data is synced between devices and stored in your iCloud account (This is data that is unique to you). Find my phone is simply a service for locating your registered equipment.
PhotoStream: Your last 1,000 photos are synced between devices and stored in your iCloud account (This is data that is unique to you - but doesn't count towards your storage).
iTunes in the cloud: This isn't unique data, Matt Schofield's new album is the same for me as it is for you, it only needs to be in one place and not everyone's storage space. Instead of keeping many GB's of music in your storage, there is a list of what you have purchased which can then be used to access the music itself from the single location (The iTunes Store)
Music Match: This iis basically an advanced version of the purchased list which also includes everything in your iTunes library and not just music you purchased from iTunes.

  • How do you sync iCloud (contact, calendar, task) to outlook 2011 for Mac? and how do you make seemless sync between iCloud to Outlook 2011 to Blackberry device or an iPad?

    I have three device: Macbook Pro (OSX 10.7.5) for work; an iPad and a Blackberry for mobile. I used mail, iCal, and Address Book combine with mobileme (iCloud) to exchange data such as contact, calendar and task from my Mackbook Pro to my iPad but never to Blackberry. The problem is my boss was asking me to change to Outlook 2011 for Mac because some of the email that I sent from Mail did not appear in my client's Blackberry. So how do you sync iCloud (contact, calendar, task) to Outlook 2011 for Mac? and how do you make seemless sync between iCloud to Outlook 2011 to Blackberry device or an iPad?  
    Best regards,

  • HT4759 how do you update icloud with contacts transferred to Iphone by verizon

    How do you update icloud with contacts transferred to Iphone by Verizon?  The only contacts that show up in icloud are the ones I entered myself to the phone.

    You'll need to copy them to iCloud in order to see them on your PC.  To do this, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  Use this to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from Verizon) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the Verizon contacts back to your phone.  They should now be in iCloud, and appear on your PC.  You may see duplicate contacts on your phone because you are still viewing both the contacts from Verizon as well as the copies now in iCloud.
    Open Contacts on your phone and tap Groups, tap the Groups that were imported from Verizon so they are unchecked and tap Done.  This will hide them from view and illiminate the duplicates.

  • How do you customize the toolbar in Windows XP?

    How do you customize the toolbar in Windows XP? When I right click on the menu bar the "Customize..." option is there but it does absolutely nothing.
    Which brings me to the rhetorical question as to why it was necessary to shuffle everything around, was it broken? Did it not work? Since 2006 I've moved my mouse pointer almost instinctively to the left side of the screen, now all of a sudden I have to go right, is there a point?
    This is like supermarkets that as soon as you have figured out where everything is, they shuffle everything around and now you are stuck in mystery shopping. At least they have economic reasons. Meanwhile Firefox seems disposed to make itself look more like Chrome, but hey if I wanted Chrome I'd get it.

    Nope... Thanks, but Safe Mode does not do the trick. Oh sure you can move the buttons around and rearrange things to your liking, unfortunately it does not stay that way once you get out of Safe Mode.
    I guess if you use an XP machine you are doomed to use FF's interpretation of what it should look like, which is ass backwards from what it has been for the past FIVE YEARS!!! Why not? It seems XP users are now the Freddo's of computing.
    Someone should go to you developer's homes move everything around, forks in the basement, beds in the bathroom, TV up in the attic with the mice, dining table outside on the porch, see how you like it.

    Are you sure that "all is well" because you have unchecked iCloud and not simply because you have restarted the application.

  • HT1386 if we have 2 iphones, each with different contacts and calanders, how do we sync them separately on the same itunes account?  how do you switch icloud accounts?

    how do you change apple id on icloud on iphone 4 if you already have chosen an account?

    itunes accounts are not the same as icloud accounts.  It's okay to use the same ID for the itunes account on different devices owned by different users.  That way you share purchased items.  But for icloud, each user should have their own account if they want their own data, otherwise data is shared among all users.
