HT4759 Can I use the Icloud to sync contacts, calendar and notes on my Iphone 4s with ios7?

Most of my info seems to automatically back up to the cloud automatically and at once point my address book must have also but I am no longer able to sync the updated address book to my icloud. This as also been a problem with notes and other apple aps.  I do not have an Icloud app on my phone but in the systems folder where it shows the icon on the computer it says mobile me which I do not have.  Does this mean I need to pay the $20 upgrade fee to go to mountain lion and if i have to upgrade is that the best one to update too? what major changes will i see when I do this and will it cause a problem with any of my current info on my phone such as contacts and calendar?

Yes, to sync with iCloud on your Mac you will need to upgrade.
You can certainly upgrade to Mountain Lion but OS X Mavericks is due out within the next month so it may be worth it to wait. In the meantime you can access your iCloud contacts, calendars, etc... from iCloud.com. Sign in with your Apple ID.
Here is more info on Mavericks: Apple - OS X Mavericks - Do even more with new apps and features.

  • Can I use the iCloud that syncs on my student ID in school on my PC?

    My school has the iCloud thing and I can log on to my student account at any mac in the school, and it has all of my files.
    Would I be able to access it at home as well?

    Yes, you can by loggin in with the Skype name on both devices. But you can't perform calls using your subscriptions from both devices *simultaneously*.

  • HT4436 Can I use the icloud on my desktop pc, and my laptop as well ?

    I have the icloud set up on my windows based desktop and my apple products already . I was wondering if i could add the icloud on my windows based laptop as well?

    This cannot be done on any iMac.  For whatever reason,
    there can only be one audio output.  There may be some
    third party work arounds, but for a stock system it cannot
    be done.  This is nothing new and applies to pretty much
    all Macs.

  • ITunes8.2 might not sync contacts, calendar and notes with Outlook 2007

    My ipod touch has been synching on a Windows XP machine with Outlook 2003 and iTunes 8.2 nicely for a few weeks. Now I need to move to a different computer.
    That one had Outlook 2000 this morning. The sync that was intended to move the contacts and calendar information from the ipod touch to this machine failed.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2051 I learned that I can't use Outlook 2000.
    So I actually bought Outlook 2007 and used that.
    Bummer - no luck!
    After trying out a few things:

    On another PC syncing works another ipod and the same software Outlook 2007 + ITunes 8.2
    On another PC syncing works with my ipod and the same software Outlook 2007 + iTunes 8.2
    On my PC using another user's windows account syncing does not work with my iPod and the same software Outlook 2.7 and iTunes 8.2
    On my PC syncing does work with Windows Address book
    On my PC accessing Outlook via COM via software does work with another application.
    So again none of the tipps in
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692
    1) Reset Sync history
    2) Disable third party addins
    3) Attempt to sync content in a new Windows user
    4) Reinstall the itunes software
    helped. The best I can get is a very long sync session that "feels" as
    if the synching went on but in the end there is no result at all.
    Copying the outlook.pst file from the machine where things worked and trying
    to override the ipod's contact content also failed. It looks like there is
    some kind of interfacing problem that does not openly lead to an error message
    but still makes sure the whole synching procedure fails. Unfortunately I didn't find any clue on how to setup debugging or logging options to better catch what is going on.
    At this point I'm out of options and hoping for help via this forum.

    I've had this problem for 3 months! Here are things I've tried which didn't work (my Outlook 2003 calendar still won't sync with my iPhone so my iPhone essentially does not have a working calendar)...but they might work for you:
    delete everything off the calendar on your iPhone & check the "override your calendar the next time you sync" button & sync
    try setting up a new user on your computer and syncing to that (make sure you've unchecked that "override everything on the iPhone at next sync" button) to see if things will move from the iPhone to the computer

  • Contact, Calendar and Notes Disappeared after Sync

    Please help!
    After sync Contacts, Calendar and Notes to pc (Outlook), all are disappeared in iPhone but can't find them too in the pc. Have opened Outlook to retrieve the data but still can't find there.
    However pic, videos and apps are found both in iphone and pc after sync.
    Million thanks for your great help!

    Did you previously ever open Outlook on your computer before?
    If not, you may have lost your information.
    You could possibly restore your iPhone from a backup.
    Check if there is one first.
    You can do that by going to Edit-> Preferences in the iTunes program
    From there, click on Devices, and you will see a list of backups that were created.
    To possibly get your contacts back, you could restore from a back-up and attempt a sync again.

  • HT4864 Do I need to use Outlook as my email programme instead of Outlook Express if I want to use The Cloud to sync between PC and iPad? Can I transfer my contacts, emails and diary appontments from Outlook Express to Outlook?

    iCloud only "syncs" data in the iCloud account, not data in other external accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc.  If your email, contacts and calendars are hosted by another external account, such as Gmail/Google, you may want to not sync this data using iCloud as you would have import it all to the iCloud account in order to do so.  Instead, add your external account to your iOS devices and in Settings>Mail,Conacts,Calendars>Add Account and turn on contacts and calendar syncing with your external account.

  • Will apple fix the requirement to use the iCloud to sync?

    will apple fix the requirement to use the iCloud to sync?, Do not want to use it, rather usb sync and it seems there are many others.

    Hi,
    I must admit to having moved to iCloud to do this some while ago.
    I had presumed the wording in iTunes and the big Sync button at the bottom did actually mean Sync.
    However it seems you are explaining it is similar to the iMessages "Sync" across devices which is in fact actaully only "Display on All Devices". (What you do with an iMessage on one device does not effect it on another).
    Thanks for the clarity.

    Hi vichochile,
    If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -

  • HT204053 Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services from two different devices - iPhone and iPad?

    Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services simultaneously on two different devices - iPhone and iPad? It seems those are competing to each other, and the services work on one of them only (iPhone).

    Many thanks, Sir! Both are mine and it's good to know that imessage can work on both with the same Apple ID. Will now have to find out why imessage stopped working on iPad when it started on iPhone (new). After exploring the forum I understand  that there may be plenty of reasons why imessage does not work, even though it worked previously on the same device with the same ID.

    Can I use the same itunes for my ipad and iphone on my computer?  Will the computer erase my other device information?

    The computer will not erase the information.  Each device will show up in iTunes as a separate device and you can control the information for each device through iTunes.

  • Since updating to Mavericks I can't use the smart groups in Contacts to send emails.  How do I fix this?

    Since updating to OSX Mavericks I can't use the smart groups in Contacts to address emails. This was not a problem previously.  How do I get the functionality of smart groups restored?

    I discovered this problem this morning after upgarding to Mavericks.
    I've found an easy answer: Apple have changed the way it confirms the addition of Groups it seems.
    Type the name of the group in the Cc: or Bcc: field, hit the Space bar, then hit Enter. Vavoom!!
    Hope this helps.
