HT4847 Why is there only 5GB of Free iCloud Storage for the iOS Devices? Shouldn't the iDevices that have larger storage capacities than other iDevices, have more than 5GB of Free iCloud Storage offered?

I have a 32GB, 4th Generation iPod Touch, with only 5GB of free iCloud Storage offered. Why should I pay more for iPod Storage, when I receive the same amount of iCloud Storage as the iDevices with less iPod Storage? I understand the Marketing/Business point of view. However, it should appear that it is only logical to increase the offered capacity of free iCloud Storage to those of whom that have purchased an Apple Device with larger storage capacities.

It boils down to that is what Apple does. Just like you don't get a big computer discount if you use your computer more than I do. I don't get a better job because I'm smarter than you are. It's the way things are. You have no more entitlement to something than I do.
As for "business?" Of course it's business. Everything is business. To think this is special just to Apple is to ignore reality.
With iCloud storage we start on a level field - 5 GBs free. Thereafter, it's pay as you go.

    You are not talking to Apple here, just us users. You can give feedback to Apple if you like, but most companies are unlikely to start giving away core products to everybody.

  • Where is my free iWork download for new iOS device?

    I just received my new iPhone 5S today.  It was advertised that it would automatically prompt you to download the free iWork applications however I received no such download!

    Open the App Store.
    See the apps are available to download from there.
    You should have received a confirmation email from Apple. Instructions for downloading those apps may be included in that email.

  • Why is there only one automated audio fader at head and none at tail of some audio clips?

    When I select "Show audio animation," top left of an audio clip, on some sections I have two knobs... one at the head for fade in, and one at the tail for fade out. Why is there only one on some of the audio clips and not both? I've set up the clips the same, regarding audio animation, and some have faders at head, but not tail. How do I make another fader at the tail of a clip? Or why doesn't it automatically behave like the other audio clips that DO have two faders? I don't know what I'm doing to make them act differently.
    Thanks,

    Tom,
    Thanks for reply. I'm attaching screen shots. For some reason my pointer didn't show up with a normal screen grab. Don't understand. Anyway, several versions are attached. There isn't one hidden on the right beyond the frame that pops out when I put my pointer there (or any tool). Strange.

  • Why is there only one Operating Concern defined in GBI?

    Hi all,
    I have the following question: when looking at the CO structure of the GBI case study, why is there only one, global operating concern defined? According to the definition of an OC, it is the level whereupon profitability analysis is performed. So why is in GBI that has two very distinct business areas not at least two OCs defined (one per business area), if not more (per product)?
    As a follow-on, what is then the relation between OC and Controlling Area? I am looking for a plain English explanation that I can also use for teaching purposes.
    Thank you in advance for reading!
    Regards,
    Gerhard

    Hi Gerhard,
    I hope my reply is not too late.
    I agree with you.  Profitability analysis is typically done at a detailed level - by market segments, which may be defined by geographical segments, customer groupings, product groupings, salesforce grouping, etc.  CO-PA does support profitability analysis at such detailed levels.
    After defining an operating concern and activating it, the system generates a series of database tables for the operating concern.  I took a screenshot of the (partial) structure of the "master" table for the global GBI operating concern, GL00, from the GBI 2.2 system I am using, below:
    As you can see, with such a table structure, CO-PA is capable of capturing profitability information at a very detailed level for reporting and analysis.
    You may also notice that operating concern is not a field in the table.  The reason is, the entire table (as well as its related tables in the same series) is used only for operating concern GL00.  Its name is even hard-coded in the last 4 characters of the names of these tables.  When CO-PA reports are executed in SAP ECC, they retrieve data from only one series of tables, i.e., only data of only one operating concern can be reported.
    Back to your question: Why is there only one operating concern and not two?  The wisdom of defining one global operating concern is that profitability data of both controlling areas (Europe and North America) will be updated into the same series of database tables and reported together.  If there had been two separate operating concerns for the two controlling areas, there would have been two series of database tables, making profitability analysis across the two areas difficult, if not impossible.
    Let me know if you need further clarifications.

  • Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air?  I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable.

    Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air?  I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable. 

    Hi CJR
    I'm not sure how Time Capsule can be replicated onto your external drive but there is a USB port on the back of TC that can be hooked up to any recent external drive.
    Another thing to think about , besides a Time Capsule failure, is the theft of your Time Capsule, so it might be a good idea to consider separating any redundant back-up from your Time Capsule or both my be stolen.
    TC will back up until full and then begin deleting the oldest back-ups.  Mine is a 2TB Time capsule.
    My back-up plan is as follows:
    1.  Macbook Air back-up on Time Capsule though Time Machine backs up everything - I think it's about every 30 min or so.
    2.  Contacts, reminders, appointments, notes, email are backed up through iCloud.
    3.  iTunes and non-itunes purchased music is on iMatch (and no need to back-up) and any non-iTunes music is backed up on an HP external drive (in case Time Capsule dies)
    4.  Photos are on my MacBook Air and are backed up on my HP external drive.
    5.  Office documents (Excel, Powerpoint, Access etc) are stored in a Skydrive app (like iCloud) and Skydrive syncs these docuemnts with the MS  cloud and my old PC and does not alter their native format like storing in iCloud would do.
    Cheers

  • How do I download iLife on my MacBook Pro (for free) after purchasing a new iOS device

    Hello,
    I watched the most recent keynote address just like everybody else and was very happy to hear that Apple was going to provide the new iLife and iWork software for free with the purchase of a new Mac device or iOS device. So, I went and purchased a new iPhone 5S. Now how do I get my free copy of this software on my MacBook Pro (Mid-2010) running Mavericks?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Marcus

    You must be running Mavericks and have purchased the iLife 11 apps, either they came with the Mac or from a purchased iLIfe 11 disk, in order to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5 for free.
    The following came from this MacWorld article: What you need to know about Apple's free apps policy | Macworld
    If you own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps (or v1 iOS apps) and you got them from the Mac App Store or iOS App Store: You should be able to download the latest versions for free by going to the app page on the Mac or iOS App Store.
    If you own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps for the Mac but did not purchase them from the Mac App Store: You should be able to download the latest versions for free by going to the Mac App Store and tapping Update, though you may need to first visit the Purchases screen, where you might see a box called “You Have [number] Apps to Accept.” This ties apps you have on your computer to both your Apple ID and a hardware identifier on your computer, and it should allow you to download free updates to these programs from any computer associated with your Apple ID.
    Some users (including yours truly) are reporting issues where the Mac App Store doesn’t recognize their copies; when they click on an iLife or iWork app’s price, they receive the following alert: “[App] is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store. Do you want to buy [app]?” Macworld spoke with an Apple spokesperson who noted that there’s currently an issue with some legacy customers, and the company is working on a fix. That fix appears to have been implemented; on Thursday, several users told Macworld that they were getting the Accept Apps prompt.
    If you don’t own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps (or v1 iOS apps), or own older Mac versions: On the iLife side, you’ll have to buy iMovie and iPhoto at full price ($15 or $5, depending on platform). GarageBand is free for everyone to download, though the app does offer in-app purchases. Apple’s iWork apps are each $20 for the Mac, $10 on the iPhone or iPad.

  • When you sighn in and out of an ios device some of the data fom the device sighned in stays after sighning out. Is this the same for PC and if so how do you delete all the data from my icloud from the pc

    When sighning in and out of an ios device some of the icloud data from the icloud account used to sighned in stays even after sighning out. Is it the same on pc icloud and if so how do you delete it. ( This is the online site by the way.)

    Hi turintest2
    Thanks for taking the time to respond - however your reply didn't really help as you haven't explained how to delete the compilation album that had been created.
    I managed to sort it out by doing the following (I'm posting this so that it may help others).  I don't know if this is the simplest/most elegant solution - but it works.
    In iTunes, find the compilation (in my case, the 153 songs) and, starting with the first song, follow this procedure:
    On the iPhone go to 'Songs' and scroll down the list until you find the first song that was listed in iTunes (above).  You should notice (as in my case) that the song will have the correct title (and artwork too if you'd found this previously before making the compliation) but the wring artist.
    Swipe LEFT and press the 'Delete' button.
    Repeat with second song in iTunes list, deleting the individual songs from the iPhone, one by one.
    Although tedious, this seemed to work for me.  Reason for doing down the iTunes list is that it is in a pseudo-alphabetical order and I wanted to make sure I'd got every one.
    Now busy re-importing the original albums from CD.
    Thank you APPLE for making this such a laborious process.  Why can't designers actually TEST the products they design so that they can appreciate first-hand the likely problems?
    Anyhow, thanks turintest2 for trying to help me - it was appreciated.

  • I have an iphone 5 ana i buy it unlocked and when i update the ios to 7.1 the iphone is locked .why?

    i have an iphone 5 ana i buy it unlocked and when i update the ios to 7.1 the iphone is locked .why?

    Probably because the previous owner had the phone hacked to unlock it, and when you updated it locked back to the original carrier.
    Only the carrier that the phone is locked to is authorized to unlock it.
    If the previous owner had the carrier unlock it, you wouldn't have any issues.
