I created an iCloud account and also had to get more space so after I have made the purchase, I am unable to backup my phone! I have a stable wifi connection at home and all I see for hours and hours is "Backing Up .. Estimating time remaining"!!!!! Plz help I'm unable to make the backup as I need to transfer all my data on my new iPhone 5S

This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, tap your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup. Then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
In the meantime you can back up your phone to your computer by connect it, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up. Also be sure to transfer your purchases (File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). Then set up your new phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iTunes Backup and follow the prompts to restore this backup to your new phone. This will be much faster than using iCloud anyway.

Your code is absolutely unreadable - even if someone was willing to
help, it's simply impossible. I do give you a few tips, though: If you
understand your code (i.e. if it really is YOUR code), you should be
able to realize that your minimum and maximum never get set (thus they
are both 0) and your exam 3 is set with the wrong value. SEE where
those should get set and figure out why they're not. Chances are you
are doing something to them that makes one 'if' fail or you just
erroneously assign a wrong variable!

I want to backup my ipod's music on windows without using software. But all I see is DCIM, and I have shown all hidden folders.

I really would like to backup my ipod onto my computer, but when I go to my Ipod and it's internal storgae, all I see is a file called DCIM
I can not download software, PLEASE tell me there is a way to get my songs onto the computer still

For iTunes purchases you need iTunes
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discusses here:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
As you found out, you can't do it via native windows

I downloaded a movie and it said i do not have enough storage on my ipod. i went to the videos app and played the video and it buffered so i watched it. after it was done, the time expired because i rented the movie. It is still taking up memory. Why?

In the downloads section there is an error that there is still not enough space to get the movie. It is taking up half of my space and there is no abort download. Help!

Movies are not one of the items you can reload via iClould like apps, music, and some other items. You can contact iTunes and request a redownload,. They may give you one.

I don't have any apple products personally, this is for work to use Photo Stream so when Superintendents & Project Managers take pictures of their construction site, I am able to have those images immediately.
Thank you

You can not create an iCloud account using a PC, you will need an Apple product. Once the account exists you can logon to it from a PC.

My Iphone 4 says "backed up - never". I am trying to back up to Icloud...it says iPhone plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi. It shows "Backing Up" ...slow. Estimated time remaining.... (It shows no time). How will I know when it is complete?

My iPhone 4 says "backed up-never". I am trying to back up to Icloud..it says it will automatically backup when is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi. Does this mean I have to lock my phone? It shows "backing up" & "estimating time remaining".....but it looks like it will never finish. Can somebody please help me? I do not have enough memory to update my phone, I do not want to lose all of my pics & videos....is there some way to save them ie., memory card?
I am truly ignorant with respect to this, but I was trying to video my grandson & it told my I was out of storage

You should import your photos and videos to your computer following the steps outlined in this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. After doing so you will be given the option to delete them from your phone to give you more space. If you don't want to delete them all in this way, after importing them to your computer you can open your camera roll in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos and videos you want to delete from your phone, then tap Delete.
If you have never backed up your phone, and are having trouble backing up to iCloud, you should perform a manual backup on your computer. To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and choose Back Up. (If you have iTunes 11, first go to View>Show Sidebar.)
To back up to iCloud you need to be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger, then just press the power button to lock the screen (i.e., put it in "sleep" mode). It should then back up automatically if you have turned on iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup (at the bottom).

Why would you set up a new account?
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Its wrong to assume that everyone has a backup copy.
are you PC or Mac?

I have bought the iPad 3 and created an iCloud account. How do I download the data from my Macbook pro to my desktop Mac?

Please help me. I want to sync all of my data on my iPad 3, my Macbook Pro and my Mac Desktop. I have created an iCloud account and what I see on my Macbook Pro is also on my iPad. How do I now download the data which I think is on my iCloud account to my Mac Desktop?
I have already gone into preferences on my desktop, found the iCloud and set up my preferences under my account. Am I missing something?
I would hate to have to take my desktop to an Apple store. Thank you in advance for all of your help.

This forum is for questions about Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Mac systems, and hence not the best place for your question. I'd suggest asking for assistance in the iCloud forums.
Regards.

Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages. This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

So my sister created an iCloud account for me but she has forgotten the password...she has also forgotten the password for the associated email such that I can't retrieve the password for that account...how do I delete the account ?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

I was using my wife's MacAir while my Macbook was in for repairs and now all of my printers want to do through her Macbook Air and unless it is on and on our home wireless, I can't print. Is there an easy "fix" for this?

I get "mail server does not recognize your Apple ID and password" when I try to share a picture via email in iPhoto. My iCloud email works ok otherwise. I have check all mail settings for ID and password.

In the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete the account and re-enter it - sometimes that resolves this
Or IMHO the best long term solution is to set Apple Mail as the iPhoto e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and use it - it has a number of advatages and has fewer problems

As you already knew, no, you cannot create a new iCloud account from anything but the above devices.

I'm not sure I understand your question really, but one thing for sure is that you need Lion for iCloud to work.
