HT5262 I use outlook for contact/calendar management, I have an iphone 5 and would a manual iTunes backup and then sync with the cloud work??

I use outlook 2007to manage both contacts and calendar. I have a new iPhone 5. Is the bestr way to update iCloud to do manual iTune updates and then sync to the iCloud.

You want to avoid syncing calendars and contacts with both iCloud and iTunes. Doing so will result in the creation of duplicates. If you want to sync your iPhone calendar and contacts with iCloud, consider also syncing your computer with iCloud (requires Vista SP2 or higher and Outlook 2007 or higher). iCloud will then keep the calendar and contacts on your phone in sync with Outlook without using iTunes. (You would still, of course, continue to sync with iTunes for your other iTuens media.)
This guide explains how to set this up: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.

When I set up the cloud control panel on my pc it will not allow me to ck the option for callandor and contacts to use that feature. Therefor my ipad callendar will not sync with the cloud

When i set up the cloud controll panal on my pc it will not allow me to ck the box for contacts, callandor etc. There for my Ipad will not sync my callendos or contacts with the cloud

I think you are mistaken, your ipad has no problem to sync with the cloud. Your pc however does, since you can't check the check box. So why do not you try to concentrate on that part of problem and find out why. For starters, check what happens if you disable your antivirus/firewall on your computer/network and check box again. Describe what you see and messages you get. Good luck.

I would say that you would want to look into the "Exchange Mode" for GMail. That would allow your iPhone to sync calendars, contacts and email with GMail just fine. Doing the same with your outlook should also then sync those same with your PC using Outlook. I've done teh iPhone side of this, but I since I don't run Lookout for my email client, I'm not sure how that will work on the PC side.

Hi cje24576,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Are you using iCloud for your calendar? When you go to the www.icloud.com website, do you see all of your entries there? The troubleshooting steps in the article below should help you with this:

Can I set up folders for major classifications of music as opera, country, etc. and then put all the albums with the genre into those folders folders?

Hi Richard Bugdal1,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You can't change the folder structure within iTunes, but you can easily change the view to sort by Genre.
The link below will explain how to do this:

Hi user 1724, before icloud, we had the same issue....
so yes, the solution was to each log into the mac separately.
i kept the main itunes library and apple id, and my son made his own itunes library (which linked to the main itunes/apple id) - so we were able to maintain separate contacts lists.
but then w/ the cloud i guess we assumed the cloud would know we each have different contact lists on diff. phones, but it seems the cloud just lumped it all together -

I have a lot of old contacts I want to delete that are on all my devices. If I delete them on my iPad and then sync with my mac, will this delete the contacts on my mac too?

Yes.
If you don't want that to happen, then don't select the "Sync Contacts" option on your next sync.

However, the most likely reason is your self-repair of a device that is only factory repairable broke something. Note that Apple does not sell replacement parts, so whatever parts you used were not made by Apple's supplier and are of questionable quality.

My calendar does not sync with the cloud properly.

Hello. I have just put in a weeks worth of events into my iPhone calendar and none of it has synched with the cloud and is not visible on any of my devices. Anybody any ideas? Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere.

Have you logged into icloud on the iphone? Have you turned on Calendar in settings>icloud? Are you able to connect the iphone with other services on icloud, like contacts?

Does seagate back up still back up if I use icloud for contacts & calendar?

will my back up hard drive back up contact and calendar using iCloud on mac bk pro?

Yes you need to maintain a local backup in addition to what goes on the cloud. To be 100% safe you should continue to back up your calendar and contacts locally in addition to using iCloud. Multiple backups are always better than relying on just one source. iCloud may go off line one day when you need something or something similarly strange could happen. Better to be safe than sorry.
Skydrive does have a Mac client so he could get those items from Windows onto Skydrive and then download them to the Mac. That would be using the cloud, so yes he could do that. See https://apps.live.com/skydrive/app/f644a8ef-9f98-4d1b-a3d2-eab969b0fd44 for more information.

My I cloud calendar in Outlook on my PC will no longer sync with the cloud. It worked fine until yesterday. Contacts and email still sync just fine. Any ideas?

And I'm not referring to the default Outlook calendar, I'm referring to the I Cloud calendar in MS Outlook which was installed when I first connected Outlook to the Cloud. And it's worked fine all this time, suddenly it won't add items that I've added on my IOS devices or Mac and it won't upload items to the Cloud that I enter in Outlook on the PC. It sure would be nice if Microsoft or Apple or both would get this working properly. I see how many others have problems too, but not quite the same as mine.
Thanks for the help in advance.

In addtition, I use 2 other PC's with Outlook and they are configured to connect to the Cloud also, yet on both the I cloud calendars in Outlook only contain about half of my calendar entries. ???
Help again, please.

My daughter got a new ipod touch and set it up using my apple id. It sync'ed and got my contacts, so she went ahead and deleted them off her ipod. Unfortunately, my iphone then 'synced to the cloud' and I lost all my contacts.

My daughter got a new ipod touch and set it up using my apple id. Once she sync'ed it, she had all my contacts, so she went ahead and deleted the ones she didn't want. Unfortunately, my iphone then sync'ed to the cloud and all my contacts were wiped out (the ones she deleted).
So, I wiped my iphone and did an icloud backup/restore. This restored all my apps, but my contacts are still the ones from when my daughter did her update. It doesn't appear as though I got back my contacts, even though I chose an icloud backup from before the deletion. Logging into icloud shows the reduced/deleted contacts, not the full list I had, and I can't see a way to revert back to an old copy.
Any ideas? I thought restoring from the cloud would have done it, but the contacts I got were the 'current' copy, not an older/archived copy.
I'd appreciate any ideas. None of the articles I found seemed to address retrieving an 'old' copy of your contacts from the cloud.

The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

HT1692 Can I clear my contacts off y iphone, and then sync with iTunes and return them back to y iphone, my IPHONE keeps retaining nos that it shouldn't, I delete them off, during edit, and they just return and added to the new contact along with the new

I Really would like some help, this problem has been with me for a couple of months,
i seem to be having problems with my contacts.
WHen I edit a contact, and pop in a new contact number, and delete the old number. It looks like it has been done. when I go to write a message or go back into the contact, it has the old number there again, I have deleted off the computer contacts as everything is under I cloud anyway. It seems fine on my iMac, but still retains the old nos, and other info, mainly on my IPHONE. Would it be useful to take all contacts off my phone, and reinstall them from my iTunes, or back up of whatever.. I am a nana, so please. Be gentle with me..
Regards
Jan .

Trying to sync a new iphone 5 to my mac to get my music over it keeps telling me that the computer is no longer authorised for purchased items but it is . I have tried de authorising and then redoing it but nothing works

Hi all I am trying to swap my music over from my mac to phone but not having any luck . Although my mac is authorised it keeps saying that its not. I have de authorised it then re done it but still the same . Not up to doing anything drastic and have heard some horror stories about loosing all contacts while messing about with back ups and cant afford to have that happen to me . Ideas anyone ??

Hi leefromwoodford,
The following article will tell you how to transfer purchased music from your iPhone to the your Mac -
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Specifically -
Transferring purchases
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
Note that the computer must be authorized for the Apple ID under which the purchases were made.
You may also want to download the music directly from the iTunes store, rather than using the iPhone. See this article -
Download past purchases
