    How do you store apps in the Icloud??

    By either restoring your iCloud backup, which will restore all data, settings, apps and other purchased media contained in the backup, or by redownloading them from the app store as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 (which will restore the app, but not any app data).

  • How do you store music on icloud?

    I just went to back up my iPod onto my old computer since I cannot back it up onto my new one obviously and I noticed that it gave me an option to back my ipod up onto iCloud on my computer. So I went onto my iPod to access iCloud and it will not let me back up my music onto iCloud via my iPod. Its not even listed as an option. Any suggestions?

    Any purchases you have made through the iTunes Store are already stored in the cloud and can be re-downloaded at any time from the purchased section in the iTunes Store.
    If you wish to store more than purchased music in the cloud, then you will need to subscribe to iTunes Match.

  • HT4847 How do I store things in my iCloud storage

    Please tell me how do I store things in the iCloud and use the 5 GB

    iCloud helps you to backup the data online. For example: you use Dropbox to save files, which are easily accessible on any computer, when you login with your email address & password.
    The same way, you can login with apple id & password on different devices. iCloud will stream the photos or download apps, automatically to other devices at the same time, if you purchased on your iPhone.
    So if I download, Angry birds on my iPhone, it will automatically gets downloaded on my iPad as well.
    Or if I buy a song from iTunes Store on my iPad, it will automatically appear on my iPhone.
    Apart from that you can save the following things on the iCloud Server
    Purchased music, movies,
    TV shows, apps, and books
    Photos and video in the Camera Roll
    Device settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Hope this helps

  • HT4847 How can I store files on iCloud?

    How can I store files on iCloud?

    Actually, I have found that this is very possible, combining several other tips from around the web, though perhaps not easy.  I am using Moutain Lion.  I am assuming that you have already activated and signed into iCloud previously.  Here are the steps for creating a cloud storage location that you can drage any file into, and access from any of your Macs:
    1) Create a new folder in the directory that is synced with iCloud.  Start by opening a Finder window, and going to the ~/Library/ directory.  Do this by typing Shift-Command-G while the Finder is open, and typing ~/Library in the goto window.  Next, open the directory "Mobile Documents".  Finally, Control-Click inside the Finder and select the "New Folder" option, naming it whatever you like -- I chose "iCloud".
    2) Step two is about creating a shortcut to this iCloud folder in the Finder.  You cannot directly drag the iCloud folder into the Favorites section of the Finder, but you can do this:  Control-Click on your new folder, and select "Make Alias".  Now, drag this alias over to your Favories panel in the finder.  You will be prompted whether you really want to move the Alias out of iCloud: Say "Yes".  Now, delete the Alias -- you don't need the original instance of it any more. (Alternatively, you can skip to the end of step 3 and drag the symbolic link into the Finder Favorites)
    3) Step three is about being able to access this iCloud folder from the Unix command line, and from the Desktop GUI.  Open a Terminal window (Launchpad => Other => Terminal).  By the way, I recommend putting the Terminal into your Taskbar, if it isn't already.  You should be in your home directory ... to verify, type "cd" and press Enter.  Now, create a Unix symbolic link (an Alias won't work for this) to the actual location of the iCloud folder:
    Type "ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/iCloud/ iCloud" and press enter.  The command should be entered precisely, I recommend cut and paste.  The first character is a lower case "L" and there is a space after the backslash between "Mobile" and "Documents".  You should now have a symbolic link to the iCloud folder created.  To view it in the Finder, go to your home directory: Shift-Command-G, and then enter "~/" into the window.  You should see a folder called "iCloud" there, with a little arrow animation in the corner.  You can drag this into the Taskbar to have a permanent clickable shortcut.  You can also access the contents of this folder through the terminal.  From your home directory, just type "cd iCloud" and press Enter.  You are now in the iCloud folder (or more properly, your local version of it), and can use the usual Unix tricks ... "ls" to list contents, "mkdir ABCD" to make a new directory called "ABCD", "mv a.txt b.txt" to rename a file "a.txt" into "b.txt", etc.
    4) Step four is about accessing this folder on other machines.  On a second Mac, repeat all of the steps above *EXCEPT* for creating the New Folder in step 1 ... it already exists, but you can get it into your finder bar, and create sym-links in the same way from there.
    The great thing about this is that when you work, you are editing a *local* copy of the file, so you can work offline if you like.  Then, whenever you have internet access, the *actual remote* cloud copy of any new or modified files is uploaded.  Likewise, updated files are downloaded from the cloud to get your local files into sync.  You have the benefit/safety of a local hard copy, AND the portability (and extra safety) of cloud storage.  It's exactly what I wanted, and it works like a dream.  Plus, time machine can back up your *local* copies, to maintain version history.  I'm not quite sure what happens if you try to simultaneously edit a file from two places, but don't do that.
    Hope that helps you!

  • How do you add things to the cloud ?

    How do you add things to the cloud on an iPhone 4

    There are two ways to store things in iCloud - iCloud Drive and iCloud Photo Library (Beta).
    You can store all kinds of documents on iCloud Drive by dragging the documents to the iCloud Drive icon in the Finder sidebar on your Mac, see:  iCloud Drive FAQ
    iCloud Drive will update the documents across all your devices, but i will keep shadow copies on the devices. You will not free space by moving documents to iCloud Drive.
    iCloud Photo Library (Beta). lets you store your photos in iCloud and keep only optimised, smaller versions on the devices, but it is only available on your iPad, iPhone. For the Mac it is only as Beta version available, see:  Apple - OS X - Photos Preview

  • How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

    How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

    As currently designed, you cannot. Once iCloud detects you are on mobile Safari, it switches you to the iPad screen.
    If you had another browser that would allow you to pretend you were a desktop Safari client, ie8 or 9, or Firefox, that might work.
    But, Puffin and Opera mini don't work.

  • How do you synch iCalendar with iCloud?

    How do you synch iCalendar with iCloud?
    I cannot get my father's Calendar data to transfer via iCloud to his iPad.  His Mac is running 10.7.2, and the iPad is running OS 5.0.1 (I think, at least it is OS 5 for sure.)  Everything else (Mail, Contacts, etc) is transferring, but not Calendar.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check that both have calendar syncing enabled, also check that the calendars in iCal you are trying to sync are iCloud calendars and not on my mac calendars (click on the calendar button in the top left corner of iCal).

  • How do you store books

    How do you store books on iPads?

    Books from where, and I'm not sure what you mean by store (?).  Most ebooks have digital rights management on them which tie them to the store's own apps/ereaders, so ibooks from Apple can only be read in the iBooks app, and ebooks from Amazon can only be read in their Kindle apps and Kindle ereaders. You can download ibooks from Apple directly in the iBooks app via the Store button at the top left of the bookshelf in the app, and similarly other abook apps generally allow you to download purchases from their store directly in them. The iBooks app also supports DRM-free epub books (e.g. books from project Gutenberg etc) which you can either use 'open in' on Safari to copy them to iBooks, or you can download them on your computer, add to its iTunes (File > Add To Library) and then sync to the iBooks app via the iPad device's Books tab.
    You can copy ibooks/epubs/PDFs from the iBooks app to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases for backup and future re-syncing.

  • How do you join together two iCloud accounts?

    How do you join together two iCloud accounts of mine?

    You would need to export the data from one account, using the respective apps, sign out of it, sign into the other, and import the data.
    Alternately, you can setup the other account as a secondary icloud account in sys prefs >> internet accounts.  A secondary account is limited compared to the main one, though.
    Actual merging the Apple ID/icloud accounts, as stated, is not possible.

  • How Do You Store Your Movie Masters?

    Hi all,
    I'm curious, how do you store your Movie Masters? Let's say you filmed an important Family event from a camcorder with a hard drive. You imported the footage into you mac and edited it in iMovie or Final Cut Pro or other app.
    Then what?
    Do you make a DVD?
    Do you save a DVD image file on the computer?
    Do you export a .mov or other format file?
    Do you delete the DV original files because they are so massive?
    Do you save/delete the iMovie or FCP master original footage?
    When do you delete the camcorder hard drive original (when you need the space)?
    What other approaches do you do?
    Which is the Master?
    How do you back up your movie?
    Thanks in advance for your opinions.

    Great question. I think the issue of backup is a important one, and one I always worry about since I have a lot of video footage that is irreplaceable.
    For back-up, it is helpful to define the risk you are trying to protect from.
    For example,
    1) risk of corruption in iMovie --> I might use Time Machine (but I do not because I have not had the issue)
    2) risk of hard drive failure --> I use SuperDuper! nightly
    3) Risk of theft or fire --> offsite backup
    Here is what I do...
    1) I back up my boot disk with SuperDuper automatically to alternate external partitions every other night so I always have two bootable systems. One is less than one day old, and one is less than two days old.
    2) I back up my original video files. For my Motion JPEG, VHS-->AIC, DV, and 8MM to DV, the EVENT is the copy I back up. For my AVCHD high def video, I back up the archive of the AVCHD, but I am not currently backing up the Event files, because I would need from 4 to 8 TB to back up these events depending on whether I made one copy or two.
    3) I use CrashPlan for my offsite backup. It costs less than $4 per month, and I seeded the initial backup to an external drive to minimize having to transfer video files over the Internet. I currently have 1.2TB of data backed up to CrashPlan, which includes my entire boot drive, and the files described in #2.
    4) All of the above is automated, so I don't have to think about it too much. If I have to manually do stuff, I tend to get behind.
    You have to consider the value of total multiple redundancy vs. the likelihood that 2 or three unlikely events would all happen at once. For example, CrashPlan could lose my data. My hard disk could fail. I could lose everything in a fire. But it is unlikely that they would all happen at once, except in nuclear war, in which case, who cares?
    I am considering adding Time Machine backup and some off-site backup of the Event files into the mix, but for now I am satisfied.
