How exactly can we use iCloud? If I have an Iphone4s and Macbookair, is it the same account? Cause every time I try to do the back up file its failed...am I having a two different accounts here. In iPhone and macbook

Hi I am new with apple. So many things I need to learn about it. Espcially for icloud. Its interesting. But unfortunately I don't really know how to utilise it. Do I have 2 iclouds since I have iphone 4s and Macbookair? Are they different account? or can I merge it? Cause as what I can see in my mailbox for icloud, I have 2 accounts there. Please help me with this.

     Hi Rosdy, to get the most out of iCloud it is recommended that you use the same account between devices. Thus whenever you buy something on your phone it becomes accessible from your laptop regardless of whether your synced it over usb or not. *
     For more information on iCloud usage please click here.
* This feature requires that both devices be on the same WiFi network.

    My main concerns are:
    -If I use iTunes on my main computer, will it then be available to Apple TV?
    -If I use Apple TV to download will it be available to my Main computer?
    -Can the Apple TV use a media server for storage over LAN (using NTFS Samab or otherwise)?
    Basically iTunes feeds AppleTv with media either syncing (copying to it) or streaming live.
    Media must be compatible with AppleTV.
    AppleTV requires a proper iTunes instance running - it cannot access a NAS directly.
    If you store media in a folder on a NAS and it's part of the computer iTunes library (just stored on the NAS vs internal/external drive), then when running iTunes makes this content available to AppleTV.
    Data will travel:
    NAS > network > iTunes > network to AppleTV
    As the path is potentially slower than internal/external attached drive > iTunes > network > AppleTV, it may or may not work robustly for streaming.
    If AppleTv is set to sync (it can also stream in this mode), when you purchase direct on AppleTV, the media should sync back to where the itunes library is stored (via iTunes) to keep things in sync and to allow you to backup the media.
    You cannot drag/drop media to/from AppleTv across the network, nor can it directly access storage itself - iTunes is an essential cog in the wheel.
    The majority of commercial 'in-built iTunes media servers' will not work directly with AppleTV as it has to be 'paired' with iTunes by entering a numerical code in iTunes and does not simply see 'shared libraries'.

  • Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • HT1645 whether i use a DL DVD or just a DVD R, it tells me there was an error during multiplexing.  I have tried changing every setting, best performance, professional quality, etc. and still get the same error message every time i try to burn to dvd.

    whether i use a DL DVD or just a DVD R, it tells me there was an error during multiplexing.  I have tried changing every setting, best performance, professional quality, etc. and still get the same error message every time i try to burn to dvd.

    Welcome to the forums.
    Looks like that error message does refer to encoding (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1645) but a problem could be that your video has to be reloaded into iDVD if you started the encoding process and then switched settings.  You could start a new iDVD project, or try deleting encoded assets.
    Let's start from the beginning -- what length of video are you trying to fit on the DVD? (this will indicate what encoding options you have).  Double layer DVDs can be finicky and are used for video more than 2 hrs long.
    Use good quality media -- Verbatim is often recommended around here, and I've used Sony DVD-R with good results.
    For a detailed treatise, see:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3926901?tstart=0

  • If My external hard drive went bad can I use iCloud to still have or access all my ripped music and movies from iTunes without starting over?

    Can I have access to all my imported music and movies in iTunes even though my external hard drive went bad with the acutal files, if i purchase iCloud through iTunes.

    You say "ripped" music.  That is not stored on iCloud unless you subscribe to Match.  As for iTunes Store purchases:
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.
    Of course if you had a backup of your files you would have been back up adn running iTunes by the time you read all this.

  • How do I get my Mac computer to stop asking me to autheticate every time i try to drag a picture or file into my Macintosh HD?

    ever since i updated my computer it won't allow me to drag pictures or files in with out saying that i can't put the file in Mactintosh hd because it hasn't been motified and it asks me to authenticate and then i have to put my password. It's annoying to have to do this for every file!!! Please help!!!!

    OK, thanks. You must have an Intel iMac then. This was in the PPC forum so I wanted to be sure.
    Normally it is not a good idea to drag anything directly to the Macintosh HD icon. Try dragging the photos to directly to the iPhoto icon in the Dock which will then properly import them into your iPhoto Library. You can also drag them to your your Documents folder, or almost anywhere else, but if you want to view them in iPhoto you will need to import them anyway.
    The authentication request you are getting is probably normal, since you ought not to put files where you are trying to put them. It won't hurt anything to do what you're doing but it will just make organization difficult for you.
    Try that. If you are still having problems I will let you know how to fix it.

  • HT201269 How can I transfer photo's from one ipad to another. I believe I can't use iCloud as the photo's were originally synced to the ipad via iTunes's

    I have some photo's on an ipad 2 that were put on there through syncing on iTunes,  I would like them to be placed on my new ipad. I understand that I can't use iCloud ?  Just to point out u no longer own the desk top pc from where I synced the original photos.  Hope this make sense!?

  • How can I use iCloud to receive emails from my GMail account and when I reply, the reply email shows the email in which it was sent to, not the @iCloud address?

    I have my GMail account forwarding my emails to my @iCloud.com account which I like, but when I reply, it shows my address as @iCloud.com instead of the email address that was originally addressed to. Anyway to have iCloud reply to emails using the email address in the original email?

    You can't use iCloud's outgoing server to send with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address. On your Mac you can set Mail to use the GMail outgoing server with your iCloud account (but then you can just access your GMail there anyway, so there's little point). On the iCloud website you can't do this; there is no way of using your Gmail address.

  • Can I use iCloud if I no longer have an Apple product?

    My phone was corrupted when I updraded to iOS7. After 3 visits and 3 complete wipeouts and resets - the last time using no restore because they told me the backups were corrupted -  it still is very unstable. I cannot use the phone is this condition. This beautiful phone was in perfect condition before it was damaged by the unstable upgrade process. Even my battery is still excellent. I have to get a new phone now and of course I can't buy an iphone since Apple refuses to compensate me in any way for rendering my present phone unstable. Can I use icloud, which I have on my Windows PC, after I no longer have my iphone? Verizon will allow me to trade it in for a gift card but it must be turned off cellular service and then surrendered. How can I make the transfer without loosing data?

    Your data will remain in iCloud, and can still be accessed from your PC, even if you no longer have your iPhone.  Just be sure not to delete the data from your phone while it is still signed into your account, or it will also be deleted from iCloud.  Instead, if you are turning in the phone, follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661.  Before doing so, if you want to save your photos, save any photo stream photos to your camera roll, then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Also, Apple will delete any iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity.  If you're planning on replacing it with another iPhone, you'll want to do so before your backup is deleted.
