I have iCloud set up on my iMac,iPhone and iPad. How do I use the storage in iCloud? Can I upload Word and pdf files?docs?
My iPad and iPhone have iCloud icons. How do I access iCloud from my iMac?
How do I take advantage of the free storage? Can I upload photos,Word and PDF docs?
Open contacts on your phone and check your groups. Do your contacts belong to any non-iCloud groups such as On My iPhone, a Gmail, Yahoo or Exchange account, or anything else? Also check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section). What is selected as your default account?

I have an iphone and ipad, how do I merge the two icloud space together
Your iCloud account has 5GB space for email, for calendar and contacts syncing, for iWork documents and for iOS backups - all these live on the sever. Both devices access the account; the 5GB space they make use of is the same and is on the server. It's not a case of two spaces, one for each device.

I have a new iPad. I cannot get an approval notification to appear on the iPad to set it up after turning it on on Yosemite. Ive tried the approval code but that generates an error saying it can't connect to the cloud.
Ok, I have to say I was really impressed by the effort. Nokia Support (in The Philippines) called me 4 times over the last 2 days to help with my phone.
Here is there responses have put them in order of my questions.
1. I am to reinstall the operating system on the phone. They said that this is the most likely (but not confirmed) fix to the SIM card problem (although they would not confirm it was a problem with the phone).
2. No answer because we did not get that far.
3. To setup a gmail IMAP account you MUST us Nokia messaging. Period. Since I have security concerns, that is out of the question.
4. This is the big one that stopped it. The Nokia N8 is a Class B cell phone meaning that you cannot use data and voice at the same time. They told me that all Nokia phones were Class B, but I told them my E71 is not. After research, I found that the E71 and E72 is Class A (Can do voice and data at the same time) and that the N8 is Class B. Here is an article explaining the difference. This was a deal breaker. I cannot access the internet while I am on a call. Reminds me of a dial up modem.
5. Reinstall the software and it might fix it.
6. No answer.
7. Use Nokia Messaging.
8. Reinstall the software and it might fix it.
So, I am sending the phone back because I cannot use it. I cannot imagine a smart phone on the market that cannot do internet and voice at the same time.
Too bad.The N8 is a terrific camera and you should buy it for that, but look elsewhere for a smartphone.
Thanks to all that read and helped.

we are trying to open a apple ID acc for my daughters IPod touch.I have a apple ID acc with my IPhone. It wont let us us use the same email ( she doesnt have one) but wont let us us a fake one. What do we do?
The only way to get an apple ID is to have an email account you've never used before. The only thing you can do is make her an email.

How do I upgrade the IOS in my 3G iphone using the usb cable hooked to my computer ?
To view the version, use Settings > General > About and look down the list of details shown there; that will usually display the software version.
iOS 4.3.1 is the last version of iOS for the iPhone 3G.
To upgrade iOS (if you're not already running 4.3.1), connect your iPhone to your Mac or Windows system via the cable, launch iTunes if necessary, and follow the instructions that should appear.
If you are already running iOS 4.3.1, there is no further upgrade.
What tool or application or support forum or message is presenting the message about your mail and the upgrade? -
i have two sets of devices one ipad, iphone and mac which i use and one iphone ipad and mac which my wife uses
now is it possible to have two sets of contacts and calendar synchronised for her devices and one for my devices using the same icloud account
i dont want a separate itunes account as we use the same music books and apps to be automatically downloaded which is very convenient
please guideYou can set up different iCloud accounts on each device using different Apple IDs (to keep your mail, calendars, contacts, etc. separated), and still share the same iTunes account (in Settings>Store on your device). There is no requirement that you use the same Apple ID for purchases and for iCloud.

I've just bought a new mac and I want to transfer the content from my old Macbook to my new. If I have iCloud enabled on both devices, is this simple, or is there a limit to what I can transfer? For example, can I upload word files to iCloud?
iCloud is not the way to do this. You should use Migration Assistant - with this you can transfer your complete User folder from the old Mac including preferences and logins. You will need to connect the two with FireWire or USB depending on the models.
Ideally you should do this before you set up the new Mac - if you create a user account with the same name than the Migration will have to give the migrated user folder a different name. When you first switch on the new Mac it should ask you if you want to transfer your data, and give you instructions. -
Can I upload photos and mini vids from iMac to iCloud
I have this collection of photos from my iPhone and iMac and a couple of videos via iMac of my dead mum.
I want all this on the iCloud thing I am suppossed to have . Can I do this to the 5 gigs they say I have.
Will this be permanent?
Can I erase my Imac and reinstal the OS due to problems and then get that stuff back on my computer as well.
The photo library and the vids are the only thing i want to keep from an erase disk thingy.
How do I do the uploads to iCloud .
I have an account it shows in my iPhoto thing.
Please help with anything i need to do.Then let me get this straight, for I'm obviously here because I don't know.

Re: can I upload photos and mini vids from iMac to iCloud

iCloud is not a backup system for your Mac.
Get an external drive and store the photo's there.

If your Mac goes kablooey anything that is currently on iCloud's servers will remain there and can be accessed with an unkablooey'd Mac, PC or IOS device
Which has me now thinking even though iCloud is not a back up system for my iMac it will
have the photos in my photostream remain there if my iMac was to be erased and i could INDEED access them again , and all would be well in FunBoo Land.
So it's not a back up system but it will save photos and little vids made from my iPhone and uploaded to my iMac and then uploaded to iCloud.
So even though it will not be backed up but as you said these photos will be saved on iCloud i ask you again .
How do i, with a little i,upload photos and little vids to icloud properly?
There is a share option which is also confusing me. -
Please help. Just the last week or so (maybe since Apple released a new software update for my Airport, I keep getting kicked off the net and can't reconnect - it doesn't even show my wifi network in the list of available networks. I am considering resetting the airport as detailed in the manual. If I do this will it act as a new one and can I set it up as from the beginning. My Mac is running OSX 10.6.8 and if I try to use the airport setup assistant it tells me i can't use this version of the app with the version of my OS (because I have upgraded my OS ) I assume
I get a message saying my network requires a WPA password and when I put it in it says connection timeout - meanwhile here I am on my laptop and connecting okay to the net that way - so strange.
If I connect directly to the computer I have a good connection so it is not my ISP
I am 64 and a woman and I thought I was reasonably savvy having had Macs since 1992. This has me stumped and I really would like some advice - otherwise I think I'll just go iout andf buy a new airport.
And just so you know . . . I have a smart TV and it is connecting to the net okay!apikoros wrote:
The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together. -
I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
what other
external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
how to configure that disk.
A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
Machine is not backing up my files
on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
the Fusion virtual machine.If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it. -
Hi Everybody,
I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac. Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan. I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple. I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan. How do I uninstall the Epson software and start all over again?
nickel_man_65Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee

I have an old icloud account with music and pics on a computer and a new account on my iphone and ipad how do I transfer my pics and music to my iphone account or cync them i dont want to have to repurchase all my music to play on my iphone
Downloading previously purchsed music from iCloud is based on your iTunes ID, not your iCloud ID. (It uses "iTunes in the Cloud", which has nothing to do with your iCloud account, just your iTunes ID.)
If you are using a different iTunes ID on your iOS devices than the one you used to purchase the music, you'll have to sync the music to your devices using iTunes. If they are using the same iTunes ID, you can download the music to your devices as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. -
How do I find the menue where I can select the list of previous phones I have had and my new one ? at the moment it is still set to an old one so everytime I try to set it up it tells me it it's the wrong one - gggrrrrr help please
iPods (except for iPod touch) are not linked to any iTunes "account." They are associated with your iTunes library. The account in iTunes is your Apple ID, and that is used to buy and download content from the iTunes Store. It is not required to use an iPod.
The 1st (and 2nd) gen shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library at a time. When you connect it, iTunes should prompt you to start using it with your iTunes library, and warn that the shuffle's existing content will be erased. Have iTunes erase the shuffle, and it will be associated with your iTunes library going forward. You can then add content to your shuffle.
The need for the previous owner's Apple ID and password should only come up if you are trying to transfer existing content from the shuffle to your iTunes library, AND the previous owner had content purchased from the iTunes Store. Just cancel out of that step, if iTunes asks. -
