How/where do I access the Cloud? (Also, how can I reformat files?)

The Cloud appears to be working well for me, immediately replacing flawed or non-playing tracks/audio files/ tunes with perfect, matched files at 256 kbps. However, I've encountered two apparent "roadblocks":
1. How can I access the Cloud directly to see if music that is NOT appearing in my iTunes program, or in my computer's library, is in the Cloud? I have no doubt there are tunes stored in the Cloud that I'm unaware of. When I go to iCloud from my computer, I see categories for only the following: Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Find My iPhone, and iWork. But I don't see any category/symblol/icon for iTunes. Where is the music/iTunes cloud, and how do I get there?
2. I'm having difficulty uploading some files to Apple's or Amazon's clouds because they have wrong, or no, compression. Formerly, I recall that under "Preferences" in iTunes, the user was offered a variety of different formats and compression rations: AAC, MP3, Lossless, WAV, AIFF, etc. In the most recent version of iTunes I'm not seeing any provision for such reformatting. Is it still possible to alter file compression within the iTunes program, or must I download an external program to change compression ratios of certain files?
Thanks for any enlightenment re: either of the above questions.

I think I'm on to the 2nd question--i.e. the conversion of files. It's a matter of clicking on "Import Settings" under the "General" category in iTunes "Preferences".
The first question (above) continues to trouble me. For example, there are a number of files in my iTunes program that show up as in the Cloud but are "shaded." When I delete these files, moreover, I'm not greeted by a spanking new version from the Cloud. They appear to have been deleted for good--unless there's some way to access the Cloud's contents.
Some of the files are extended, personal files, recorded from an FM broadcast, lasting around 60 minutes. So it makes sense that the iTunes Match function would not find corresponding files. However, they've been saved, and most of them are playable are playable from my iTunes program. The shaded ones are not playable--and when I deleted them, there was no replacement.

HT203167 I purchased the ink word processing program and installed it on a new iPad last week. I couldn't use my computer to access the cloud so I couldn't transfer files to the iPad. I returned the ipad and bought a macbook air, can I still load the in

Can I still use my ink program for my mac air? I loaded it on an ipad that I returned. How do I do it?

You can only use that app on an iPad (and potentially an iPhone or iPod Touch if it's not an iPad-specific app) - you can't use it on a Mac as they are different operating systems.

I have a macbook pro OS 10.5.8. I've sync'ed it with an iPad 2. I would like to access the "cloud" but it seems my Leopard isn't sufficient. How high an OS upgrade would i need to use cloud? Most of my current apps wouldn't work with a too high upgrade.

I have a macbook pro OS leopard 10.5.8. I've synced it with an iPad 2. I cannot access the cloud because my OS is insufficient. Problem is most of my most- used applications would not work with a too-high system upgrade. I can't afford to upgrade all my apps. I need to know: what would be the least-high system upgrade I can install in order to access the cloud on my new iPad 2?
MAC O.S. 10.5.8 - LEOPARD
MacBookPro
MacBookPro4,1
Intel Core 2 Duo - 2.5 GHz; speed 800 MHz

Define "access the cloud". I can access my iCloud.com account on my 5 year old iMac at work running OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. I can download and upload Word documents and Pages documents in the iWorks section of my iCloud.com account.
What do you want to access in "the cloud"?
Snow Leopard would be your next system upgrade and you should be OK with the CS3 applications, and Office 2008. I cannot confirm that the other applications will work.
This is quite old, but take a look or Google the other applications to see if they are compatible with SL.

How and where do I access the most recent backup of my iTouch's calendar PRIOR to my auto-sync?

How and where do I access the most recent backup of my iTouch's calendar -- prior to the recent auto-sync which lost 5 yrs. of info. on my calendar? I want to retrieve it.

All you can do is restore from backup. To do that see the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
Also, turn off autosyncing so that when you reconnect the iPod to yuor computer the old backup does not get overwritten . To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".
iTunes only retains the most recent backup and updates it with the changes.

Go to Verizonwireless.com, log in to your account (or register your phone number if you haven't done so). Once logged in, Go to My Verizon, My Device, Backup my contacts. That should bring you to your Cloud "dashboard" - where you can view Contacts, Photos, Videos, Music,Documents, and anything else you've sent to Verizon Cloud.
If this doesn't work for you, then where does it break down? Do you get any error messages?

I now have 5 devices that access the "cloud" via Match. I also have 3 computers that need to be authorized. Is there a way to authorize all these computers/devices in such a way to allow everything to access and sync to the cloud?

I had a problem with a 5.0.3 project that would cause 5.0.4 to crash. Apple asked for a copy of the project and later told me it was because there were some empty text layers. Apple is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.
In my case I still had 5.0.3 on another Mac and could clean up the project. If empty text layers might be the problem, do you know someone with an earlier version who could open it and remove the empty layers? I'd be willing to give it a try if you'd want to send me the project.

Nokia Lumia 928 apparently died after an attempted Windows 8.1 update. Replacement phone arrived the next day. How can I restore my contacts, photos, etc.? Backup assistant is no help and I don't know how to access the Cloud.

Did you have the phone set to backup things to the One Drive on Microsoft servers?

System files are hidden by default in Finder now, search for what you want then click the little + button on the top right of the bar that appears when you do a search. A new bar comes up and click the first box (that says "Kind"), change it to "System Files". Then change the box that says "aren't included" to "are included" and your file should show up.

How can a 2nd generation iPod Touch access the Cloud?

I am a MobileMe user with a 2nd generation iPod Touch and a Macbook. I do not have an iPhone. I have upgraded iTunes to 10.5 and want to upgrade my iPod Touch to ios5 so I can be ready to switch to the cloud when MobileMe expires for my email, calendars, contacts, etc.—but nothing happens when I plug the iPod Touch into my computer. Can I download ios5 some other way? If not, how will I be able to access the Cloud when MobileMe quits?

You can only upgrade 3rd Generation and 4rth generation iPod touches to IOS-5, sorry, see this page on the compatability: http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can use your primary ID or your alternate ID to log into iCloud. If you aren't sure what these are, you can find out at...

Where do I find the Adobe pdf 9.0 printer description file and how do I install it?

Where do I find the Adobe pdf 9.0 printer description file and how do I install it? Operating system is Windows 7 and I have Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 installed. Adobe Acrobat X Pro just updated to version 10.1.8

Hi. Thanks for the replyl
I'm in prepress, working mainly with Quark XPress for advertising files and with Word, Photoshop, everything, for many years. My older computer is the workhorse with Quark 6.5 and CS4 and OSX 10.4.11. Everything is set up for me to produce PDF x1a files by printing .ps files from Quark and Word, and InDesign.
My newer computer, OSX 10.9.4, must now be used to a greater extent. So I have Quark 9 and 10 and now Creative Suite for the Cloud. But I don't have any Adobe PDF printer which I select when I print .ps files and place into my Distiller Watched Folder. I by pass selecting the Adobe PDF printer in Word and just print straight to .ps. The .ps file just sits in the Watched Folder and no longer flows into Distiller, processed and out. Is this the way of the future? I just want a smooth, fast flow for PDF's. I want them to be PDF x1a compliant for hi-quality printing.
Thought you might help to give me info as to how one uses Distiller (or not) with the new operating system and latest programs. Can't seem to find any info as of yet by searching the Adobe FAQ's and the Internet in general.
Thanks alot.

How do I find out what is in the cloud so I can delete it?

This is a complete outrage. All I did was support Apple and was told to sign in to cloud and now I am told I am using too much space. No idea what this is about and no way to call because I cannot talk. How do I find out what is in the cloud so I can delete it? Is this e-mail, Word documents, or something else? What the heck are they talking about?

It's everything that's stored in icloud: email, backups, calendars, contacts, app data (including iwork documents), .... on and on.
If you need to delete some data to recover some free storage...
You'd have to go into the various apps on a device that is also stored on iCloud and begin trimming files.
Backups:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud. Turn off camera roll and any other apps that might have a lot of data. Then delete the backup. That will free up space. Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. Go to Settings>iCloud and turn
Emails:
Regarding emails, on the computer, move emails from mailboxes in icloud to those on the device. That can also save a lot of space.
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage
From there you can find how much and which files are in a backup, and how much different apps use to store data files. At the bottom of the screen is the size of the mail storage.

HT1338 accessing the cloud from my MAC - "no can do"?

accessing the cloud from my MAC - "no can do"?

What is the machine and what OS you are currently using? iCloud is available in Lion 10.7.2 upwards and Mountain Lion. It is also available in IOS5, I believe.
It's always particularly helpful when your profile is filled out (and up to date). Ideally you should mention your product or computer model, the model identifier and the OS you are running. To find that detail go to … Apple menu > About this Mac > (plus) More Info. A rough guide to your location can often help too. Anyone trying to help you would be greatly encouraged to see this.
