How to use iCloud?

I have already set up my my mac unless something is missing but when I download an apps or take a picture on my ipad, it does not appear on my mac has it's been said that icloud will automatically synchronise it

On your Mac go to System Preferences>iCloud, and check that Photo Stream is selected.
On your iPad go to Settings>iCloud and ensure Photo Stream is set to "On".
You should then be able to view photos taken on your iPad using iPhoto.

HT4847 How to use iCloud as virtual storage

Sorry for my ignorance but does anyone know how to use iCloud as virtual storage for music n photos that I don't want on almost full iPhone? I have an iPad too and don't mind if these items are on there. Thx!

You can't. It doesn't have an option that allows you to not have a copy of the data on your Mac. You can make the suggestion to Apple at https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

So when I try to update or download an app it says I don't have enough storage. I don't know how to use iCloud and stuff soo what do I do? Help! I don't wanna delete any pics either.

how to use icloud in an android device?

The only iCloud facility you can use is the email: you can set up your email application to access the email on an existing iCloud account (which you need a Mac or an iOS device to set up) by using the settings listed here:

You can, iPhones/iPads and Macs work, as do PC's once there is an open account.
This is typical Apple to be honest. The only reason I use iTunes is for my iPod. Perhaps I need to find another mp3 player.
You do not need iCloud for iTunes, I am sorry that you misunderstand but iCloud and iTunes do not require each other.
I'm certainly not paying the inflated prices that Apple charge for their laptops that are quite frankly no better than my Dell.
I've had Dells, they are worth what you pay, no more.

How to use iCloud with my family's devices

We're an Apple household with two Apple-using parents and three Apple-using kids. We have two iPads, two iPod Touches, two iPhones and a MacBook Pro.
Up unti now, I have used all of the devices with the same Apple ID, except for my wife's iPhone and MacBook, which use a different account because I'd purchased a MobileMe account so that her address book and calendar would sync. My iPhone, on the other hand, belongs to my company and data is sync'ed using Exchange, but the AppleID is still mine, there are no special corproate controls, and the Apple ID and apps I purchase belong to me.
Should I simply migrate my wife to my AppleID, and use iCloud to sync her phone with the MacBook Pro, and leave everything else as-is? Then we will have a single AppleID for everything, and her Calendar and Address book will sync between her two devices, and FindMyiPhone will find everything with a single login? Are there any limits with using all of these iDevices on a single account?
Thanks!

How to use Icloud calendar and contacts with calendar server

Hi
I have a small network setup using a mountain lion server and a couple of mac mini's running snow leopard. In addition I have several iphones and ipads attached to the network.
I want to syn calendars and contacts accross all devices but dont want to use icloud for the private stuff. I have the basics working but can not get the general icloud contacts and appointments to sync on the mac mini's. Is there a way to sync this data or do I have to duplicate each appointment , one to icloud the other to the server address book and calendar.
I know that there is a way to sync snow leopard with icloud but I do not want all data on I could as some of it is sensative, so require to keep it internal.
Any help would be appreciated.
cheers

Thanks for the help
Not sure I have explained myself properly, I already have the server set up and have a local calendar and address book working.
The issue I am having is how to integrate it with the icloud address book and appointments.
for example,
I have an appointment at 10.30 with a client, I need to have this show up on all mobile devices and the local network mini's. As it stands I have to put it in twice, once in the icloud calendar and once in the local network calendar. I would like to be able just to add it once and it show on all clients.

How to use Icloud without wifi on a PC???

I read on apples website that you can use Icloud using ethernet but how?? I downloaded the Icloud control panel and enabled photostreaming on my iphone 4s and have Windows Vista service pack 2. I take pictures but no pictures appear in the folder on my PC. What am I missing or not doing right. I've searched high and low on but can't find any answers. Please help. THanks

Mikeb1221,
I'm not on a Windows machine, so I don't know how much help I can be, but I can tell you that it doesn't matter whether your computer is using Wi-Fi or ethernet. All that matters is that iCloud has access to the internet. The iPhone does need to be connected to Wi-Fi for Photo Stream to sync though; it won't work on the cell network.
Before we do any troubleshooting, follow the steps in this article to reset your Photo Stream, and see if it resolves the issue. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4890
It sounds like you've followed the correct setup process, but it doesn't hurt to check again. Restart your computer and do a soft reset on your iPhone by holding down the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Once both have restarted, make sure that you only have one iCloud account set up on each device, and that they are both configured with the same account. Ensure that Photo Stream is turned on for each device as well. For the iPhone, check under both the "iCloud" and the "Photos" tab. Next, click the "Options" button in iCloud Control Panel to make sure you have photos syncing to the correct folder. If the pictures are still not syncing, try placing an image in the "Uploads" folder on your computer to see if it will sync to iCloud. Also, be aware that Photo Stream will only sync pictures taken after it has been set up, so images you already had on your phone will not sync.
Try to provide some more information, such as any troubleshooting steps you have taken so far. Is anything else syncing between your computer and phone, such as calendars or bookmarks? Did you follow an online tutorial to set this up, or did you figure it out as you went along?
I hope this helps. Let me know if any of these steps fix your issue.

How to use iCloud drive on my iPad

Hi,
I thought there was an app for iCloud drive, like Dropbox - but there isn't
So my question is how do I open a document from iCloud Drive or save to it?
I am from Denmark, so I am a little unsure if iCloud drive is available for me.
When I open Pages or Keynote I do not get the Document Picker/File Manager we see on
the screenshots about iCloud Drive. So.... what am I missing?
I need a step-by-step guide or some screenshots
Hope someone can help me out...

Hi again bobseufert
so there was this update on pages, keynote and numbers... When I opened pages it asked me if I wanted to use icloud drive - but I still don't get this document picker Do you experienced the same? Just want to make sure I am not missing anything..

How to use iCloud email for registering at iTunes Store

This is my first discussion even I'm not a newbie
I'd like to use my iCloud email to register at iTunes store, but I always got a message "Use your @me account to sign in" (I guess like that the message). When I sign in with iCloud ID at AppStore, there's another message said "This account hasn't been used with iTunes yet"
Thanks

Are you trying to use @icloud.com to set up a new iTunes account? If so, I don't think that complete system has been rolled out yet. It will not likely be active until iOS 6 is made public. So as the system is telling you, you need to use @me.com for now.

How to use iCloud on pages

Hello,
This is my first try on one of these forums so please bear with me.
I recently got Pages for my Mac, iPhone and iPad. In settings on the iPad I had an option to use iCloud. When I switched this on, suddenly all my documents on my iPad showed up on my iPhone which was fantastic and helpful.
But I can't seem to make that work for Pages on my Mac. There doesn't seem to be an iCloud option.
Can somebody please suggest what I should do?
Steve

Until Apple updates the desktop versions of the iWork apps you have to use iCloud.com in a web browser or iTunes to sync files. You could also try e-mail or DropBox.

Snow Leopard cannot native use iCloud. To do so you have to login to iCloud from your browser of choice by going to https://www.icloud.com but you can setup Mail to access the mail just setting up the iCloud mail account as another Mail IMAP account.

How to use icloud with iphone

I am very confused on how to sync or use my cloud on my Mac with my new IPhone 5S. I have all the settings on the phone correct. On the Mac, under Preferences, there is no "cloud" item for me to choose to set up, only mobile me and I get error if clicking it. I do have a cloud "folder" listed on the sidebar menu under Finder along with Desktop, Our Name, Applications, Cloud Drive, Documents. However, there is nothing in the cloud and I have my phone set to upload everything.
I've even looked in IPhoto and there is only a mobile me icon, which does nothing if I click it. I don't see a way to upload pictures.
I also have a symbol that looks like a cloud across the top menu where the volume button is, but it doesn't do anything if you try to click it.
I just purchased my IPhone and would like to share my pictures on my Mac. How can I do this? Thank you so much for any help you can share.
I also believe it is the same Apple ID account for both. I input the information in my phone to set it up.

How to use iCloud on more than 5 devices without constant de-authorizing/authorizing devices

I have more than 5 Apple devices, laptops, and PCs. How do I use my iTunes and iCloud on all of them without constant authorizing/de-authorizing them? It is very annoying.

I have iPods, iPads, iPhones, iTVs, MacBook > than 10 iDevices, I have PCs and laptops with multiple OSes > 10. I subscribed to iTunes Match, can't fully benefit from the convenience of iCloud with these limits. Is there a way to increase these limits?
