HT4847 How do I store things in my iCloud storage

Please tell me how do I store things in the iCloud and use the 5 GB

iCloud helps you to backup the data online. For example: you use Dropbox to save files, which are easily accessible on any computer, when you login with your email address & password.
The same way, you can login with apple id & password on different devices. iCloud will stream the photos or download apps, automatically to other devices at the same time, if you purchased on your iPhone.
So if I download, Angry birds on my iPhone, it will automatically gets downloaded on my iPad as well.
Or if I buy a song from iTunes Store on my iPad, it will automatically appear on my iPhone.
Apart from that you can save the following things on the iCloud Server
Purchased music, movies,
TV shows, apps, and books
Photos and video in the Camera Roll
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Hope this helps

HT4847 How do I delete things from my iCloud?

Hello, everyone! I need some help, okay so, my iPhone has been acting up lately, I am no longer receiving iMessages, it says it cannot connect to iTunes and YouTube, and I no longer receive push notifications from any of my apps. i figured it is because i need to update the iOS5 for my phone, but I'm not sure. To update the iOS5, i need to backup my phone, which i can't do because my iCloud is full, i was wondering how do you delete things from the iCloud? I have already went through and deleted a great number of pictures from my phone and also apps that i was no longer using. I don't want to lose anything from my phone, but i'm not sure if my iCloud has everything backed-up? Also, could that be the reason to why my phone has been acting up? or could something else be wrong? PLEASE HELP!

General advice on "slimming" down your device's 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.

How do you store apps in the Icloud??

By either restoring your iCloud backup, which will restore all data, settings, apps and other purchased media contained in the backup, or by redownloading them from the app store as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 (which will restore the app, but not any app data).

How do I store my documents on icloud?

How do I store my documents on icloud and access it on other devices?

If by 'Documents' you mean iWork documents, you need to enable 'Documents' in System Preferences>iCloud and then when you are ready to upload specifically iWork documents, go to http://me.com/icloud , navigate to the iWork sections, choose the page for the document type, and drag the document to it.
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm9d2051b9
Mountain Lion adds a few document types, and it's possible that others will be added as time goes on.
However if you are talking about other sorts of documents, then iCloud does not provide general file storage in the manner of the late lamented iDisk. You will need to find a third-party alternative: this page examines some options:

I have read the manual, but as I can see there is nowhere where it tells me how to put my Pages document in iCloud storage, could someone tell me?iDocbackup

I have read the manual, but as I can see there is nowhere where it tells me how to put my Pages document in iCloud storage, could someone tell me?

Here is some information on how to get a document from your iDevice to iCloud (which means you need to have the iOS version of Pages installed on your iPad or iPhone:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/documents/
And here is a slew of other help articles:
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&src=support_site.psp.more&locale=e n_US&q=Documents%20in%20the%20Cloud
And, icloud is not really "storage" - it is meant to "push" a document you create on one iDevice to another.
FWIW, I assume you are on Lion? Please change your profile - it still shows 10.5.8...

How do I delete apps from my iCloud storage that I no longer want or use?

You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

HT4847 How can I store files on iCloud?

How can I store files on iCloud?

Actually, I have found that this is very possible, combining several other tips from around the web, though perhaps not easy. I am using Moutain Lion. I am assuming that you have already activated and signed into iCloud previously. Here are the steps for creating a cloud storage location that you can drage any file into, and access from any of your Macs:
1) Create a new folder in the directory that is synced with iCloud. Start by opening a Finder window, and going to the ~/Library/ directory. Do this by typing Shift-Command-G while the Finder is open, and typing ~/Library in the goto window. Next, open the directory "Mobile Documents". Finally, Control-Click inside the Finder and select the "New Folder" option, naming it whatever you like -- I chose "iCloud".
2) Step two is about creating a shortcut to this iCloud folder in the Finder. You cannot directly drag the iCloud folder into the Favorites section of the Finder, but you can do this: Control-Click on your new folder, and select "Make Alias". Now, drag this alias over to your Favories panel in the finder. You will be prompted whether you really want to move the Alias out of iCloud: Say "Yes". Now, delete the Alias -- you don't need the original instance of it any more. (Alternatively, you can skip to the end of step 3 and drag the symbolic link into the Finder Favorites)
3) Step three is about being able to access this iCloud folder from the Unix command line, and from the Desktop GUI. Open a Terminal window (Launchpad => Other => Terminal). By the way, I recommend putting the Terminal into your Taskbar, if it isn't already. You should be in your home directory ... to verify, type "cd" and press Enter. Now, create a Unix symbolic link (an Alias won't work for this) to the actual location of the iCloud folder:
Type "ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/iCloud/ iCloud" and press enter. The command should be entered precisely, I recommend cut and paste. The first character is a lower case "L" and there is a space after the backslash between "Mobile" and "Documents". You should now have a symbolic link to the iCloud folder created. To view it in the Finder, go to your home directory: Shift-Command-G, and then enter "~/" into the window. You should see a folder called "iCloud" there, with a little arrow animation in the corner. You can drag this into the Taskbar to have a permanent clickable shortcut. You can also access the contents of this folder through the terminal. From your home directory, just type "cd iCloud" and press Enter. You are now in the iCloud folder (or more properly, your local version of it), and can use the usual Unix tricks ... "ls" to list contents, "mkdir ABCD" to make a new directory called "ABCD", "mv a.txt b.txt" to rename a file "a.txt" into "b.txt", etc.
4) Step four is about accessing this folder on other machines. On a second Mac, repeat all of the steps above *EXCEPT* for creating the New Folder in step 1 ... it already exists, but you can get it into your finder bar, and create sym-links in the same way from there.
The great thing about this is that when you work, you are editing a *local* copy of the file, so you can work offline if you like. Then, whenever you have internet access, the *actual remote* cloud copy of any new or modified files is uploaded. Likewise, updated files are downloaded from the cloud to get your local files into sync. You have the benefit/safety of a local hard copy, AND the portability (and extra safety) of cloud storage. It's exactly what I wanted, and it works like a dream. Plus, time machine can back up your *local* copies, to maintain version history. I'm not quite sure what happens if you try to simultaneously edit a file from two places, but don't do that.
Hope that helps you!

HT4847 how can i store ms office files in iCloud?

how can i store ms office files in iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To store Office files on iCloud, you need Numbers, Keynote or Pages, depending of the files you want to upload (Word, PowerPoint or Excel).
First, if you haven't done it, open App Store and purchase Keynote, Numbers and/or Pages. Then, if you have OS X Mountain Lion, when you open the app, you will see an iCloud window where you can drag your Office documents to be uploaded to iCloud.
If you don't have OS X Mountain Lion, open http://www.icloud.com, login with your Apple ID, select iWork and drag your Office documents
