HT5262 if I backup with icloud, does that mean I do not need to sync on computer anymore
If I backup with icloud, does that mean I do not need to snyc on computer anymore?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Syncing does more than just back up to iTunes, it depends what you were using the sync to do, if you sync content between your device and iTunes you would need to continue syncing to acheive this.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?
Thank you
I realize they are separate
I will do music match so that all of my songs are in ICloud
Do I need to keep the library on my PC or can I download whatever playlists I want stored on the device at that time.
Example: I have almost 1G of Christmas Music - because it is on my PC in my llibrary they sync to my ipod touch every time - i really want those stored somewhere else so they do not sync [or take space on my pc] with exception to one month per year.
I am thinking I can create space on my PC and Touch by storing songs on icloud that i do not listen to regularly; I am also thinking I can request songs by playlist to download to my touch or PC
Is that a clearer question or am I just confusing myself?? -

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you installed Windows properly, you can still start in OS X and use it whenever you want. However, Boot Camp changes the startup partition to Windows, so you may note that you can't use Mac OS X.
There are two ways of starting in OS X:
1. Hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting until you see all the bootable partitions in the screen, and choose your OS X partition.
2. Hold the X key while your computer is starting.
If you have a iMac or a Bluetooth keyboard, make sure you hold the key after hearing the startup chime.
If you want to start in OS X by default, after starting in OS X, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and choose the OS X partition -
My macbook air was purchased late 2010. Does that mean it will not support mirroring? Can I purchase anything to enable mirroring?
Your computer is too old to support native mirroring. You can use 3rd party software like Airparrot, though results will vary so try it first.

If I delete photo backup to icloud - does that also delete them in photo stream?
As many others, my 5GB of icloud storage doesn't allow me to do icloud backup if I include photos, so I'm about uncheck photos from backup.
I'm just a little anxious that this would also delete photos from photostream..
Can anyone say for sure that this is not gonna happen???Turning off photos from icloud backups has no effect on photo stream.
BTW, regarding backups - always sync photos to a computer for archiving. -
I accidentally deleted the notes from my note app. I sync it again but nothing happened then realized on my phone that notes isn't clicked to "on" under icloud. Is there any way to retrive the info?
If you had activated the option to save notes at some point in the past you might be able to restore from that backup, if it is still listed in iCloud. If you had never selected that option your data is gone, sorry.
How to restore from a backup
When you go through Setup Assistant on a new device using iOS 5 or later, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose from which backup to restore.
If the home screen icons appear on your device and you wish to restore from an iCloud backup, erase your device (by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). When prompted to set up as new or to restore from previous backup, select Restore from iCloud Backup. Enter your AppleID and password when prompted.

Somebody restored the iPod
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

When an iPad is connected to the MacBook and the option in iTunes says it will make a full back of the iPad to the computer does that mean ALL the files associated with ALL apps on the iPad? If so where is the backup located on the computer?

When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up your camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?
What do you mean by storage quota, does that mean i could be photo streaming about 1gb of photos and it does not get taken away from my free 5bg.

I just got a new iPad2 wi-fi. This is the first Apple product that I have ever owned. When I did the initial set up, I think I checked the box to use icloud. Does that mean that everything will now need to have a wi-fi connection in order for me to view or listen to it. I want to listen to music and play games while on an airplane. So does this mean that anything that I've saved will only be available to me with a wi-fi connection? If so, is there a way to change it back so that everything is saved directly to the device so I can have access to it when no wi-fi is available?
no.. you can listen to the music, play movies and games without worry if not connected to the wifi.

You can use the iCloud mail address, but you can't use the rest of the iCloud services.

My daughter has been missing for a week and has a serious medical condition. She has an iPhone 4S and when I log into find my iPhone it says online , location services off. Does that mean there is no way to track the phone? Please I'm willing to try anything to get my baby home. Thanks.
Without location services, there's no way the device can be tracked. It's location services that provide the device's location to any apps that need that info, including the Find My iPhone service. Sorry.

I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job). Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library. Does that mean that they take up three times the memory? Will that affect iCloud? Sorry for the end-user questions!!
HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.
