HT5527 But what on earth can I use this storage for?

I got the email this morning. It's somewhat annoying that I've just signed up for iTunes Match and will have to pay for that when I could have opted to just send my music to the cloud, which I thought was going to be reduced to 5gb.
So I'd like to find out what I can use this free space for.
When I had an iDisk I used it to store work files so they were easily available at work and at home. I also put treasured photos and documents for the family to see there. I often used it to store scores of music I've written to add another layer of security in case everything got lost this end in case we got struck by lightening or something. I'm not sure how much of that I'll be able to put in iCloud storage now.
So far I'm using it for email and calendar and I'm using a very small amount of space. I've paid for iTunes Match, which is considerably bigger. Perhaps I could put my audio books in there? I'm still not going to use 55GB.
The only real use I can see for it would be to email all my important documents such as the music notation scores to myself - and then I suppose I will have put them into the cloud. But if I'm going to lose it all in a year's time I'm not sure I want to go to all that trouble.
Any other suggestions would be gratefully received.

So really, they can offer us 55GB of space for a year, which seems a very generous offer given that they are not charging well over £100 as I used to pay for my maxed out iDisk. But there's probably not a single user who is going to fill 55GB with the kind of documents that can be stored there. Only photographs could fill that space; and even then it would take a massive amount of those to use up 55GB.
And having found every last word processing document and photograph I can lay my hands on to fill the space, would it be worth it if I knew that at the end of the year I'd have to remove it all and back it all up somewhere else?
One wonders why they bothered! It is no replacement for my iDisk. Now if we have a flood or a fire, I've lost the lot, no matter how much backing up I've done. Unless I turn to DropBox, that is. Maybe I will. What Apple has done is handed me a huge trunk and told me I can keep only unboxed cufflinks and earrings in it for a year, while I'm desperately looking around for somewhere to put my boots!
Thanks for the comments, guys. I think you'll agree with me that this is a statement of bewildered disbelief rather than a problem and that there's no solution unless Apple changes the way iCloud works.

You can't use this mobile for Nokia Music Unlimite...

I have just purchased a Nokia 5130 XpressMusic mobile phone which came with music. I have previously had a similar phone which came with music which for the last year I have been using. That unlimited downloads has now expired.
So I have plugged in my new phone, which I have not used to purcahse any music with through my old unlimited downloads, and it is saying:
You can't use this mobile for Nokia Music Unlimited edition mobile.
Can someone please tell me why not? The phone is capable of playing music (it is an XpressMusic mobile). I have specifically gone and purchased this phone for the unlimited downloads and will not be very happy if I am unable to activate it.
Many thanks,
Tania

Hi Tania,
Like @petrib mentioned you should be able find local Nokia Care details behind that Contact us -link up right in this page (or if you tell which country you are in I can check the details for you).
You could also update to latest Nokia Music Player which has just become available e.g. here http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/nokia-music-support and see if activation would work with that.

Can i use this just for audio

I want to know if i can use this just for audio ..not the picture part

I don't see a way of using FT just for audio. There is no way of turning the video streaming feature to off. If you disable the camera, facetime won't work at all.

How can i use this color for my Application Background ?? Screen Shot Attached

Hi ,
I can find only plain colors on to Color Picker , but this is line mixed color
How can use this attached Color for my Applications Background Color .
Please find the Screen Shot attached .
please see the background color

Are you trying to apply a gradient background?
In Flex 3 in Application tag:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
backgroundColor="#666666"
backgroundGradientColors="[#333333, #666666]">
</mx:Application>
In Flex 4 you need to set the backgroundColor and apply a skin for the gradient:
-------------- mySkins/MyAppSkin.mxml -------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<s:Skin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

Can I use iCloud storage for iOS apps?

Hello,
I'm trying to work out if it's possible to use iCloud to save/load data across devices with iOS apps created using Air.
I know there is a lot of talk about now meeting the Apple data storage guidelines eg http://www.saumitrabhave.com/2011/11/air-ios-solving-apps-must-follow-ios.html
What I can't understand is if I actually want to use iCloud to save data a user has created in my app (ie condition 1 of the storage guidelines - user generated data, cannot be re-created by application).
If I was to save this user data to the <Application>/Documents directory...
a) would it be backed up by iCloud and meet Apples requirements?
b) if my application was installed on another device is there any way, using Air/AS3, to know that a file has been updated and read the file?
Please let me know if this doesn't make sense... still trying to get my head around how it all works.
Thanks.

HT1449 can i use this process for moving my library to an external drive?

My iMac is dying a slow death and I want to run itunes and iphoto off my external drive as the data may get corrupted if it stays on the computer hard drive.
If I designate a folder on my external drive and then cosolidate will that allow me to run itunes from the external drive?
When My iMac fails will I be able to take the data from that folder for the new iMac?
Thanks,

I'd suggest you just drag the entire iTunes folder (the _entire_ folder, _not_ just the iTunes Music folder) to your desired location. Then hold down the Option key while launching iTunes. You'll be given a dialog box where you can select the iTunes library you want to use. Navigate to and select the iTunes folder in it's new location. Note that this procedure assumes that all of your content is contained in the iTunes Media/Music folder. If things are scattered around your drive, moving them becomes much more complex.
As to moving iPhoto, you may want to confirm the correct procedure for your version of iPhoto in the iPhoto forums.
Your iMac cannot be running Mac OS 9.2.x, by the way. It will help people offer advice if you'll correct that.
Regards.

I want to install windows7 on my 27in iMAC. I have an OEM version of Win7 which is win pro 7, 64 bit english. I will use boot camp to partion the hard drive for a win7 install. Can I use this version for the installation ??

My iMAC is a 2011 3.4 GHz intel i7 based with a 27in display. A year ago, I bought a Microsoft win pro 7 64-bit english OEM OS to install over a newly assembled AMD PC. I never installed it. Now, I want to put it on my iMAC using either Apple Bootcamp or Parallels. The win 7 OEM package has a lot of verbage about using an OEM preinstallation kit (OPK) and that it must be preinstalled on the hard drive. Is it OK to install this win7 version following the Bootcamp instructions.?

Please post in the Boot Camp (not Bootcamp) forum I'm sure someone there can answer your quesiton if no one here is able to.

They are Kingston KTH-X3A/2G 2GB DDR3 RAM PC3-8500 204-Pin Laptop SODIMM 1066MHz

Mike,
That's your opinion, but it is pretty much contrary to any research that's been done. And, there are different reasons for RAM to be cheap. One is not having a manufacturer's lifetime warranty. I never recommend buying RAM that is called economy RAM if it does not come with a manufacturer's lifetime warranty. I never recommend buying RAM from a vendor whose return policies may be questionable or unfavorable. I also never recommend that people only chase after bargain basement priced RAM.
If you read any of my other posts along this line you will know I always recommend OWC and DataMem.
EDIT: FWIW, I've read many complaints about RAM not working that was bought from Crucial.

S_pl0_09000447- can i use this for Extended Withholding Tax

Dear Gurus,
In my compoany im using Extended Withholding Tax for India, and can i use the Report S_PL0_09000447 - Withholding tax report for the vendor.
Kindly Advice whether can i use this report for EWT or not.
if yes how to use it.
Regards
karthik

Hi,
On the analysis, the system expects an entry in the T059Q table with
code as XX.
The reason being in the extended withholding tax we use multiple
witholding tax codes and these entries are stored in the table
with_item. And in BSEG we populate the field withholding tax code i.e.
BSEG-QSSKZ with the value 'XX'. In classical withholding tax we used to
store the code directly which is not possible with Extended withholding
tax.
As the field BSEG-QSSKZ refers to the values in the table T059Q-QSSKZ
the entry 'XX" needed in this table for the corresponding country of the
company code to maintain the correct relationship and consistent
database information.
Hence for the statistical purpose and for the internal calculations we
need an entry in the table T059Q. Could you please maintain this code
i.e. 'XX' also in the table T059Q in a test system? Then retest your issue.
This should resolve your issue.
Kind Regards,
Vanessa.
