I use I cloud for my contacts, etc. but want to use computer for music.

I use the I cloud for my contacts etc., but don't want to use it for music and movies.  But when I manually try to sink the iphone, it says it will erase the content and replace it with the new content on my work computer.  Will this destroy all info or just the music? 

For me all of my data and backups are done through iCloud, but it still lets me sync to iTunes no prob. I would turn off Music and anything else you want on the iCloud menu on the iPhone, and then when you plug in to iTunes instead of saying iCloud backup say Computer backup.

    Hi,
    All your music need to be in your iTunes library on your computer. You will need to copy your music from your iPhone to your computer.

  • When using i-cloud for music storage does it take up memory in i-phone?

    when using i-cloud for storage of music does it take up memory on my i-phone or other devises?

    The behavior is different on computers and mobile devices.
    On computers, songs will stream from the cloud unless you explicitely download them, so no.
    On iOS devices, each song is downloaded when you play it (or when you explicitly download it), so yes, if you play many different songs, it will eventually fill up your device and you will have to delete some of them.

  • ICal won't sync to mobile me, iPhone, or iPad.  On my iMac I went to preferences, mobile me, set it to sync, and even did a sync-now.  It syncd everything else, contacts etc, but not iCal.  Went to calendar preferences and it won't let me sync at the bott

    Contacts etc sync fine.  Went to calendar preferences and it won't let me sync cuz it says:  Your mobileme suscr info is not correct or you did not turn on sync in mobile me prefs  - well, my mobile me subscription must be ok, I'm in and out of it easily enough, checked the acct fields, and my other stuff is working fine.  I did go to mobile me prefs and it is all set to sync, calendar is checked, it says the last sync was 15 min ago.  Ak!  What is up?  I did just upgrade the mobile me calendar.  Is that my problem?

    There's no simple answer to that. My calendar goes back to 2004 and is moderately busy; it took around an hour. It's possible that you've hit a slow period on the server - it happens.
    In order for it to work, your calendars should show on the MobileMe site, they should be listed under your MobileMe login name in the calendar list in iCal (calendars listed under 'On My Mac' will not sync) and your MM account details have to be entered in iCal Preferences>Accounts (this should have happened by itself).
    If it's not working please see the page I linked to.

  • Content copier backup has contacts etc. but won't ...

    I have a problem with Content Copier backups from my E71 to my PC.
    1) I choose to backup everything.
    2) Backup proceeds, but says there was an error: on viewing logs there is nothing listed under "These items could not be backed up" heading. Backup log says contacts, messages, calender have all been backed up.
    3) On finishing backup my E71 is sometimes left with a semi-blank Home screen, and hung. Have to remove battery to get it working again.
    4) On trying to restore this backup, contacts, messages, notes, calendar aren't listed as being included in the backup.
    Installing the trial version of Noki shows that the backups DO indeed contain contact details. But presumably there's something in the backup file that makes Content Copier think that contact details aren't in fact there, or that they're corrupted.
    PC Suite 7.1.18.0
    E71 firmware version 100.07.76 and 200.21.118
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I don't think it's the phone.
    I've now tested using Content Copier to do backups on my laptop. This still had PC Suite 7.0.9.2 on it, and the backup completed without error, including "Settings" to backup phone-specific settings. I then upgraded PC Suite to 7.1.18.0 and now the backup fails if I have "Settings" selected.
    I've also tried completely uninstalling PC Suite and reinstalling 7.1.18.0 but I still get failed backups.
    PC Suite 7.0.9.2: backup works correctly, including "Settings"
    PC Suite 7.1.18.0: backup fails if "Settings" are selected to be backed up
    I've opened the backup files in Write, and both failed and completed backups contain Contacts data in VCARD format (which is presumably why Noki could see contact data), but the completed backups also have another 18Mbytes of binary data that are missing from the failed backup files (presumably the phone-specific settings stuff).
    It would be nice if Content Copier could allow me to extract the Contacts and Calendar data from a failed backup: the data is in there!
    I've been communicating all this with Nokia Europe Support, so hopefully this will be fixed soon.

  • I want to solely use the cloud for music & media...

    I noticed that many of my songs and movies are being stored both on my hard-drives AND in the cloud via iTunes Match. I realize that each file in the Match cloud has to reside either on a computer or via an iTunes Store purchase, but I have many files that are on ALL of my computers drives.  Should I divide the files across my various drives and computers? Is there an option for storing EVERYTHING in the cloud? Even with external hard-drives I am still running out of start-up disk space!
    Before I go on a deleting spree -- I ask the conventional wisdom for some tips & advice...

    The device that AT&T has provided to you may....or may not....be able to be configured to allow your Time Capsule to function as the "main" router on the network.
    Even if it can....AT&T will likely not support this type of configuration
    Check with AT&T first to see if this is possible....and also whether they will support this type of configuration in the event of Internet connection difficulties.
    If the AT&T device that you have cannot be configured to allow the Time Capsule to function as the main router, AT&T may have a simple modem that could be used for this purpose. That's another question for AT&T.

  • How to use the cloud for music

    How do I upload part of my music to the cloud to share with my laptop when away from the house?

    If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
    Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
    If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

  • How do I see photos, contacts etc from iphone on my computer and in icloud

    I have activated icloud on my iphone and installed icloud on my computer. Photo Stream shows up in "compute" in windows explorer).    But I am not seeing the pictures from my iphone on my computer.  Neither are contacts, calendar etc syncing from my phone to icloud (on the web) or on my computer.  I have signed into all with my apple id.  In phone settings - icloud - All (contacts, calendars, reminders, and photo stream) are checked "on" and "My Photo Steam" is on as is shared photo streams.  Isn't this supposed to be EASY?!?!?!
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    Thanks for the quick reply.  I checked my settings and iTunes is not set to sync calendars.  If have any other suggestions, I would appreciate any help!  Thanks!

    Every so often I get a lightning in the cloud next to Music menu.  I have to click on it to make it go away.  Very annoying.

    Hi,
    THe lightning bolt symbol indicates that you are not connected to iTunes Match. Click on symbol to try and get connection. Initially you will see cloud with lines before cleat cloud symbol appears.

  • Why iTunes in Cloud for music is not available in Finland?

    It is available in so many other countries, so why not in Finland?

    Wow I must have hit the nail on that one since they censored out my post completely! So if anybody wants to know the real reason why it's not available in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland I can send you a direct message with the truth that they are trying to hide
