HT4929 can I use iCloud to transfer (sync) between iPhone 4G (OS 5) and a MBP runnibg 10.6.8?

Can I use iCloud to transfer (sync) between iPhone 4G (OS 5) and a MBP runnibg 10.6.8?...or must I upgrade to 10.7? Most contacts are on my iPhone from my former WIN machine running Outlook.

iOS 5 is for your iPhone. 10.7.2 or later, Lion, is for the computer. You can upgrade by clicking on the App Store icon in the Dock or Applications folder. Sign in with your Apple ID and password. Locate the Lion installer application. Purchase and download - $30.00.

    How to Transfer Music from iPhone to Computer
    If you purchased music with multiple Apple IDs, you have to authorize the computer for all of them. However, you're allowed to authorize up to 5 computers with one Apple ID. That means you have to look for other methods when you have already authorized 5 computers.

  • Can I use icloud to transfer music purchased on my iphone to my PC with icloud?

    I'm just wondering if I can use icloud to transfer purchases (music) made from itunes on my iphone to my PC? I know that if I turn on icloud with my other Apple devices it will sync to them & I believe I have icloud on my PC. But I'm not even sure if it works like that...to automatically put them on my PC when I buy music on my iphone. So I'm just wondering if it's possible & if it is- how do I do it? I DO have icloud on my iphone & it is updated.

  • Can you use iCloud to transfer data from one iPod to another?

    Hi, I'm a newbie to Apple. I'm getting another iPod touch with bigger storage, the only data I care about is Clash of Clans. Can I use iCloud to back up the data, and restore it to the iPod I want? Please help, I don't want to lose my data without the right directions.

    Yes.  Back up your current device to iCloud, the when setting up your new one, restore it to this backup.  It will include your apps and app data (as well as other data and settings).  See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.

  • Can i use multiple computers to sync my Iphone with itunes?

    Can I use a different computer to sync my Iphone with itunes since my laptop crashed?

    No. TM is machine specific and is not ideal for syncing machines. You need syncing software or MobileMe. MobileMe has a 2 month free trial. Oh, cloning software of specific files may work as well depending on what you are syncing.

  • Can I use iCloud to store photos from iPhone and Mac?

    I would like to use iCloud like Dropbox. I have photos that were taken on my iphone and photos that are loaded on my Mac from a camera that I would like to store in the Cloud. I would also like others be able to download their photos of this event to the same Icloud account. Is that possible?.

    The only way you can store photos in iCloud indefinitely is if you add them to a shared stream.  However, when you do this, the photo will be at a lower resolution than the originals.
    My photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for all your devices to receive them.  The only other photos in iCloud are camera roll photos stored in your backup.  However, you can't see anything in the backup unless you restore it to your device.  Also, if you delete the photos from your device and continue to back it up, the backup that contains the deleted photos will be overwritten by one that doesn't, and they wil be lost.

  • My ipad has stopped syncing my calendar. Both iPhone and ipad.  After going to the setting - mail, contacts,calendar my Ipad has no where under the calendar category for default calendar.  How can I get my calendar to sync between iPhone and ipad???

    Up until recently my calendar were syncing (between my iPhone 4 & ipad mini). They are no longer synching.  I have searched and everything matches to all the resolutions, the problem is on my ipad under Calendars in the settings there is no option for "default calendar". Every other option matches to what is on my phone, just the default calendar option is missing.  The default email is the same for both.  Help!!!!
    Thank you

    An interesting additional symtom is that items loaded in the PC (which immedialely duplicate to the iCloud calendar on eht PC - no worries, there) do not transpose the devices (as above) but, loading an item into the phone, it goes to the PC (which is fine, too).  But not to the iPad.  Interestingly, there fewer calendar display options on the iPad than on the phone.
    I talked to Apple a few months ago (after ISO 5) - mainly about the 6000 plus addresses that suddenly appeared in my Contacts - and his advice was do all contact and calendar actions on the PC.  "icloud is still faulty"
    So there we are!   I must have items and reminders in my PC - it is my main work station - and need them on my devices to avoid conflicts when away from my office.

  • Can't use internet with bluetooth connection between iPhone and macbook

    My iPhone and my macbook both show that I have a successful bluetooth connection, but I can't use the internet on my macbook.  What might be the problem?

    Basic question: Do you have a tethering plan with your carrier? It isn't automatically provisioned; you have to ask for it and pay extra with most carriers. See these tips from Apple:

  • Can I use an Itouch to sync between two computers?

    I want to sync Calendar data between my Ibook, which uses Entourage and my desktop G5, which uses Ical. Can I do that without having to buy a MobileMe accout?

    The Touch has to be connected to a computer at least once to set it up. I remember being very disappointed when I got mine. It was delivered at work and I had to wait until I got home to set it up. All it would show on the screen was the indicator to plug it into a computer. I don't know if you have to register it with Apple, though. And, as far as registration goes, it's not like they're going to check to see if you put in your real name. Of course, this might cause some problem later if you needed to find your serial number from Apple.
    I don't think you need to have an iTunes Store account. However, you won't be able to use YouTube without it.
