How the heck do you start using the app

Juts started usine apple products, iPhone 5c and iPad mini.  Heard that the iCloud was great, but I can not get it so that I can use it.

General question - Where is a good resource for getting to grips with apple products and workflow?
My wife and I have had apple products for a long time but never upgraded past 10.5.8 (mainly due to laziness and being happy with it). In the last month though she has bought a new MBAir and I've got an ipad air. To be honest they're very nice but I don't believe for a minute we're getting the most out of them. Where's a good place to start?
For instance she's been given an iphone for work and when she takes a picture it sometimes turns up on her MBA sometimes doesn't. Now this is probably down to us not understanding the icloud, photostream/roll etc. so a beginners guide would be useful.
I think I need an 'explain it like I'm five' for apple's new way of working...

    I know very little about gmail, but you might try the OS X Hints article, or the step-by-step guide at About.com.

  • Clarification needed on where to start using the Wizard

    I need some clarification about at what point start using the Maintenance Wizard in the R12 upgrade process. Having done this manually before I need direction on what steps need to be done before letting the Wizard take over the process.
    I realize that the 12.1.1 software needs to be installed ahead of time but what about other manual tasks that are outlined in the “Database Preparation Guidelines for an E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Upgrade (Doc ID 761570.1)” and documents it refers to? This note says to “Follow the standard 12.1.1 upgrade path as documented in the Oracle Applications Upgrade Guide: Release 11i to Release 12.1.1. Perform all requirements documented in Chapter 1 and all applicable steps in Chapter 2.”.
    I guess the question is should all steps be done in the notes above and start using the Maintenance Wizard at step “8. Complete the R12 upgrade” in note 761570.1? I’m confused because it appears some of the steps, such as running the TUMS report, can be done with the wizard but what ones can’t.

    There's actually a step in the MW for installing the 12.1.1 software, though it can also (and is easier if done ahead) be installed prior to starting the steps in MW.
    Ideally, the MW includes all the steps from the Upgrade Guide, the Release Notes and any other referenced notes. If you are finding this not to be the case, please log a bug with Support so we can add the missing step(s).

  • 'You cannot use the application ical.app with this version of Mac OS X'

    When I first upgraded to 10.5 ical and calculator both crashed when starting and now after upgrading to 10.5.1 I get the following message - 'You cannot use the application ical.app with this version of Mac OS X'
    This is only on my G4 powermac. No problem with Intel MacBook.

    Are you, by any chance, one of "those people" that move applications to something other than the default location?
    I know I am.
    When I upgraded, I saw the same problem - I had moved iCal (among others) outside of "applications" to something like "Applications/Business Apps"
    The version in "Business Apps" was the Tiger version, and it wouldn't run. However, the Leopard version (Installed to /Applications) worked fine.
    So, I deleted the "Tiger" version, moved the iCal to where I wanted it, and all was well.
    In a similar note, I put a number of iLive apps in a different folder -- and OS X software update stopped finding updates for those apps. I had to move them back to /Applications in order to get OS X software update to run them.

    I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id

    I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
    also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
    I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update.

  • I have downloaded the 30 day free trial using Adobe Download Assistant but I do not know how to open it and start using it.

    I have downloaded the 30 day free trial using Adobe Download Assistant but I do not know how to open it and start using it.

    This was so annoying!! It took me a good couple of hours but i figured it out, you need to do the following: Go to the folder where you saved the download (in my case i saved it in My Downloads) -> click on 'Adobe Photoshop Elements 12' -> click on 'PSE 12' -> click on 'Setup' (select the icon which is a box with a shield) -> follow instructions and....voila! You will need to restart when it suggests so save anything else first, then when it reboots you should see the icon on your desktop....hpe this helps!

  • The computer I originally started using iTunes on a few years ago is no longer functional. How do I make the same library appear on my new computer with the newest iTunes?

    The computer I originally started using iTunes on a few years ago is no longer usable, but for some reason some of the songs I have now are not showing up in my library on the new laptop I just bought. How do I consolidate the total songs on my iPhone to include them all in a new library on my iTunes in this new laptop? And why isn't this new laptop letting me update to ios 6 without deleting everything on my phone?

    Your music will ONLY be where you put it.
    It will not magically appear anywhere.
    You buy one and only one download.  it is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    Leaving your e-mail address on a  public forum may not be wise.

  • I created one apple I'd when I started using the iPad.  After some days, I had to create a new apple I'd as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple I'd is appearing.  Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.

    Anything you downloaded with the first Apple Id will forever be tied to it, and will always require it to update.
    The question here is, why did you think you needed to create a new Apple ID? What was the problem with the first one?
    To get rid of th old one, you'll need to delete everything you downloaded with it, and then sign out of the ID in several places around the iPad. 
    Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign out.
    Repeat the process, for Facetime, Messages, Mail and any other App you need to sign out of.

  • Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    iWeb uses the domain.sites2 files to store its assets.
    You'll find it here :
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    where ~ is your Home directory.
    If you take a computer with you, you have to store that file in the same location.
    It's not different from taking documents with you if you want to edit them.
    A solution is to remotely control your computer at home.
    TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop or any VNC application you can use, like "Chicken of the VNC".

    Hi,
    Tap the iPod icon in the Dock. Then tap the Airplay icon just to the right of the volume slider.
    Make sure the iPad speakers are selected, not your wireless.
