How Secure Do You Think Your Info Is In iCloud??

Would you just as soon store your information on your computer or someone else's? Another one of those security/pravacy  decisions.

Personally, I don't think I would use iCloud or any other Cloud based service available (iCloud is definitely not the first and will not be the last) for any info that I would fear security issues with. Yes, I use the iCloud service but I don't depend on it any more than I depend on my computer to be my sole source for my data. I am that person that does not believe anything is 100% secure...not even the simple act of using your credit card to pay for an item in the store or writing a check to a company to pay a bill. If someone wants to access secure data bad enough they will find a way to do it...it has happened before. That's the price of all of our technological conveniences (shopping online, using CC's instead of cash, using services to secure our data...the list goes on). You just have to be smart about what you are willing to risk putting out there. If you fear it would harm you then you probably shouldn't use it...that includes what you physically do on your phone even without using the iCloud service.

  • How much do you think this would cost?

    So the home button on my ipod is going out and im having problems with the assistive touch. I've also been having problems with memory that I dont think I should be having. How much do you think it would cost to trade this Ipod 4th Generation in for the newest model with a higher memory than 8 GB?

    "really?"
    Yes.  Apple does not want your old ipod.
    "ven if I didnt cause the problem that makes me need a new one? "
    Yes.  If it is defective AND it is within the one year warranty, then Apple will replae with the exact same model, not a newer model at all.

    Things i had to set manually;
    1) Keyboard layout, because it defaults to US
    2) Two mouse keys don't work had to manually set, Emulate3Buttons defaults on (wanted it off)
    3) "VideoOverlay" is off by default (or is not auto detected)
    3) needed to set DPI to 96
    4) needed to set color to 24 (defaulted to 8?)
    apart from that, the auto detection is vastly improving IMO.
    The main premise behind this, is to debate the auto detection capabilities of hardware by xorg.

  • Just installed ios 7 on my 4s, and I have two issues: 1) control centre: the music controls do not work, only the volume adjust slider works; 2) in mail, where do you find the setting to control how many messages you want your inbox to retain?

    Same problem here on my 4s: Control center music controls do not work.
    Since this thread has two issues, I'm going to start a new one with only the music control bug. Topic: iOS 7 Control Center Music Controls Not Working On iPhone 4s

  • How well do you like your nano?

    I have (or had is a better term) a 2nd gen 8gb ipod nano. For my brothers 21st birthday, my parents bought him a bloodhound puppy. Talk about a big mistake that was! She decided to use it as a chew toy. Fortunately it still works, but has minor scratches on the metal case (through a rubber protective case no less!). I say minor as it has no huge gouges. It has teeth dents all over it. Thankfully the screen doesnt have a scratch since I had a hard plastic protector covering it. The aluminum shell is scratched pretty bad as well.

    I bought 2 nanos: 1 for me, 1 for my girlfriend for a christmas gift. Now that mine looks like crap, I am going to get a new iPods for both her and I and I was wondering how everyone liked your 3rd gen nano?
    We are going to sell her iPod nano to cover some of the cost. Is it even worth trying to sell mine?
    Here are the two photos of my iPod. What do you think now? Still worth selling?

    I never had a Nano before the 3rd gen so I can only really compare it with my other iPods. I bought it specifically for running with the Nike+ Sport Kit. I thought that the fact that it played videos was kind of silly.
    I really love the Nano. I find I use it more than my Touch. It's great for workouts as it is so small and light. And yes, I do watch videos on it. Prior to the Touch and the 3rd gen Nano, I'd always wanted the biggest iPod I could buy. However, I find for many day to day uses, a 4 gig Nano is great. A few hundred songs, a couple of games, a handful of podcasts, a television show and I'm ready for my urban commute, a run, and an hour of relaxing at the local coffee shop.
    The sound quality is great. I've had no problems with it. In fact, it has probably been the most trouble free of any of my iPods (not that any of them have given me much trouble).
    I understand what you mean. I didnt use my old nano for anything but music, a couple podcasts and the rare file transfer. I dont know if I will ever use this to watch video, since I have a laptop, portable dvd player, an portable external hard drive, etc. I dont think i even would need a bigger (HD space wise) ipod than 8gb.
    If you dont mine my asking, any reason you have a 3rd gen 4gb Nano, a touch and a 60GB ipod? I understand the nano for the commute, but what about the others?

  • How do you change your Apple ID for icloud?

    I have had one email address as my Apple ID for App store, itunes and icloud for all my devices (MacBook pro, iMac, iPhone4 and iPad2).  Recently I changed nettwork/internett operators and now I have big problems with my icloud.  My old email address and password has been shut down, and I had to create a new adress and password.  I successfully change my Apple ID and password for itunes and App store, but I can't change my Apple ID for icloud.  I am told that if I want to close down my icloud account on my MacBook Pro data will be lost.  (I have stored my documents on icloud too)  I keep getting a popup on my screen saying there is a problem with my Apple ID (the old email address) and that I should fill in my password.  If I fill in the password for this icloud ID (also my old Apple ID for  App store and itunes, I keep getting the message that it is invalid.   How do I get into icloud to manage and edit the Apple ID for icloud so that it works on my mac and all the other devices I have?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't change your ID if it's a me/mac address, otherwise;
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
