I wish iCould make iCloud work?!?!

I cannot for the life of me get my Upload Folder on my Windows 7 64 Bit machine to work predictably.
I installed the iCloud Content Manager and have it up and running. I've placed various photos into the Upload folder but have only had very limited success with them being sent to my iOS devices (iPhone and iPad).
I did drag some older photos taken before I had iCloud from my USB attached iPhone into the folder and they did make it to my iPad's Photostream- but, they were cropped in the process and white borders were added to the sides of the otherwise perfect iPhone taken images.
I've also dragged other image files take from my Nikon D90, along with others from the iPhone into the Upload folder and they just sit there and do nothing.
After reading some suggestions on this forum, I changed the icloud.exe settings to "run as administrator" but that doesn't seem to have resolved the non-push issue. Photos still seem landlocked on my PC.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? The iCloud manager doesn't seem to want to work as smoothly as Apple seems to suggest.
I wish iCould make iCloud work!!!!

I have same issues and I am still with Snow Leopard.. I am terrified to switch to Lion or Mountain Lion due to the fact I will lose all my Word documents I have created for many years. I have been with apple since the 80's I worked for them when the mouse was developed... It has far surpassed me I can't keep up anymore. icloud will not work with snow leopard and my iphone has icloud. my software won't keep up with any changes either, nor my printer. Everytime I let the computer add new updates something else goes haywire. My apple id, my passwords etc. I'm on fixed income and can't afford to keep up, does this mean I will lose all my pictures, documents, and sooooo many other items I have created over the years. I miss the good old fashion put a picture in a scrapbook to keep it. Now I have to save and print out everything I create in a document or risk losing it. I will become a hoarder of paperwork in order to save all my documents and writings that I have done and collected over the years.... Does anyone out there have a suggestion or solutions for good old me.... What good does it do to put things on a disc if you are unable to open them because your software can't read them anymore. PLEASE someone help me.....

How do i make icloud work if my husband and I share the same itunes account but we dont want to get each others contacts, messages, apps etc?

Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

How do I make iCloud work between my Mac and my iPhone as suggested in the video's on Apple's website ?

I'm trying to share a set of Numbers projects between my MacBook and my iPhone.
I notice that iWork.com does NOT do what I am expecting from the Apple Video's : it only allows me to consult documents through Safari, but not to open one directly from iCloud.com in the appropriate app for editing ...
Through file sharing in iTunes it seems to work for one of the projects ... but another project which has multiple tabs and rather long tables doesn't open on my iPhone due to "unknown error" ...
Even then, the iTunes file sharing process can hardly be called seemless, and in no way even approaches what is suggested in the video's :
The video's suggest that when working on a file on one device, then picking up another device the file will show the changes ...
In reality here's what I have to do to make a change on the file on my Mac, share it with the iPhone, then change something on the iPhone and share it back with my Mac :
1. save the changes to the document
2. add the document to iTunes file sharing
3. sync my iPhone
4. open Numbers on my iPhone
5. add the document from iTunes
6. open it
7. make a change
8. sync the iPhone
9. choose "save as ..." in iTunes to overwrite the copy on my Mac
10. open the document in Numbers on the Mac
Guess what ... when making a new change, I have to go back in iTunes, delete the link to the document and add the document again in order to be able to share the change ...
I would expect the syncing with iTunes to at least take care of the file updating on the respective copies on Mac and iOS device ... apparently not so.
Anyone knows how to really make Documents In The Cloud work ?

Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ?

I am using my Apple ID on multiple devices for other people. How can I make icloud work only for my devices?

I am using my Apple ID on multiple devices for other people in my family and now I am getting a new iphone and want to take only the information on my old iphone to the new one without the information on the other devices using the same account. Is there a way to do that?
Also, for the future can I use multiple addresses and apple IDs for the same credit card information?
Thanks in advance,
Marian

Ok, so you want to remove data (contacts, bookmarks, calendar etc) from other users from your iCloud/Apple ID?
If you want to use your ID for your family because it is the account everybody uses to buy stuff then you only need to ensure that your apple ID is set up in the store (settings-store) and then the users of each device and put their own apple ID in icloud/message/facetime/etc.
To set up your device, in my opinion, it is best to back up to itunes, and then plug your new device into itunes and "set up as ..." and select the backup from your device. This will import all your data/settings and your new device will be set up just like your old one.
I am not certain about using the same payment method for more than one account.

Can't make iCloud work on iPad

On my Mac I can enter the URL for iCloud. I then enter my Apple ID and password and iCloud opens just fine.
On my IPad I set up an iCloud account using the exact same Apple ID/user name and password. I continually get the message that my "user name" or password is wrong. I have carefully entered all the characters many times, being very careful to do it correctly, with the same result every time. When I click on Account within settings on the ipad it shows my Apple ID but no password is shown. I've typed the password in repeatedly and it never "sticks" -- next time I open "Account" there is no password.
Can anyone help

You have created too many accounts. There's no way to get around this.

1 iCloud ID, Multiple Apple IDs = problem...HELP, cannot make Family Share with iCloud work

So I have music stored in multiple apple IDs. I have an iPhone & therefore an iCloud ID. I wanted to use the family share option however I cannot as the other apple IDs do not have iCloud IDs. Is there a way to get around this? I believe the only way one can have an iCloud ID is if they currently have a Mac product & register it through that; I have a PC not a Mac. Please HELP!!!! Thanks.

You can create an iCloud account using your existing Yahoo.com ID rather than creating a new ID. (You can use the other one because it has to be in the form of an email address and linked to a verifiable email account.) To do this you would go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with the ID to create the account, then check the data you want to sync with iCloud. When you check Mail, you will be prompted to create your @icloud.com email address. This is the email account that goes with your iCloud account, if you wish to use iCloud email. When you type the name you would like to use for this address, iCloud will search and tell you if it's already taken by someone else, in which case you will have to choose another. Type carefully, as once created, your @icloud.com address cannot be changed. Understand that your iCloud account ID will still be your @yahoo.com address. The @icloud.com address you choose is for email only.
None of this will effect your existing purchased media using your two Apple IDs. These will stay the same as purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Also, Apple will not merge IDs.

My laptop quit so how do I connect my ipad and iPhone to the new one and make it work?

My laptop quit so how do I connect my ipad and iPhone to the new one and make it work?

Hello Tamthom,
It sounds like you would like to sync your phone to your new computer. I would start by using the following article to transer your iTunes and App Store purchases to your computer from your phone.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
Note: If you had content that was not purchased from the iTunes Store you will need to re import the content from its original media, to your iTunes library separately.
Then backup your device to iTunes with this article:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
After your puchases are transferred, and your device is backed up you can Erase and Sync the device, and restore your backup to it, that way moving forward you can sync it like you used to.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

How do you make imessage work? The icon is there. You can type in the recipient but are not allowed to hit the send button

How do you make imessage work? We upgraded to verision5. The icon is there. You can type the message but the send button is not available.

There is some instability in iMessage. It is a versatile and confusing app even though there are so few options in its use.
I had issues trying to get iMessage work on both my iPads and my iPhone.
ON the iPhone, turning off WiFi service and then trying iMessage fixed the problem.
On the iPad 2, same thing. Turning off WiFi service fixed it.
On the iPad 1, I took a suggestion from zoomzoom and changed the WiFi network configuration on the iPad to use 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server and then use iMessage. That fixed it. Now I put the DNS back to default and it still works.
I suspect the iPod Touch will have the same fix as the iPad.
If you have a WiFi and 3G iPad or iPhone, try turing off WiFi and see if that fixes it.
Why? (beware, some of this is guesswork)
iMessage can talk SMS to cellphones and smartphones (that are using the cell-network). It can also talk Apple iMessage format to iPhones and iPads whether they are on cell-network or on WiFi. If you are talking to an SMS cellphone, iMessage figures that out and blindly sends your message. If you are talking to a iOS5 device, iMessage figures that out too, checks to see that they are on-line, and then does something different if they are or are not on-line. If you type in an email address, and not a phone number, I think iMessage attempts to see if the email address is registered with Apple (or iCloud or whatever) and if it is not, it does something to let you know, possibly by making the Send button not light up.
In order to register iMessage and an email, you have to let the iOS device see whatever service it is that iMessage uses. That is where the problem happenes. zoomzoom suggested manually setting the WiFi DNS to google's 8.8.8.8 IP address, then run IMessage, and that seemed to fix the problem. Setting the iOS device to use 3G-only (by turning off WiFi) also fixed the problem. I suspect going down to StarBucks or McDonalds and using their WiFi would also fix the problem. Once the problem is fixed, it doesn't seem to come back so I can't test these 'fixes'.
To change the DNS on your iPad find your WiFi networks configuration, click on the blue arrow, touch DNS, backspace over the number that is shown, type in 8.8.8.8 Then click on the WiFiNetworks button at the top of the screen. Now go run iMessage. After that, you can delete the DNS entry again and leave it blank. Your iPad will fill it in from the WiFi router when it needs it.

TS3999 when will iCloud work with outlook 2013?

when will iCloud work with outlook 2013?

I have been running Outlook 2013 for a couple of weeks now using W8 64bit.
It works with iCloud and is a little flakey, what I've found.
1. 4 X Junk Folders.
2. Some emails cannot be moved into saved folder, saying message has changed, but opening in outlook safe
mode allows move.
3. Sent Items (this computer only) and Sent Messages, so you have to move emails from Sent Items to Sent
Messages if you want them to sync across devices.
4. Icloud control panel say's there is a problem and not syncing but it is no problem.
I can live with the bugs, but I wish the last icloud update would have corrected the issues.

Hello, my main button has stopped working .. how do I make it work again?

Hello,
my main button has stopped working.. how do I make it work again?
thank you

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

Why isn't iCloud working on OS x version 10.7.2 (lion) but it works on windows 7

why isn't iCloud working on OS x version 10.7.2 (lion) but it works on windows 7

Hello, & a warm welcome to the Forums & Macdom!
Might try one of these...
Instead of joining it from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed. Before I went through network diagnostics and all of that stuff in system preferences, and then I tried the "Join Other Network" method, and now it works like a dream.
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

Does the iCloud work between an iPad and a non apple pc?

my wife has an Asus computer. I have all apple. She wants an iPad for Christmas. I understand that we would be able to share information through the cloud. and I understand that she could sync with her pc. would this tie us both together in the cloud? Or, is there a problem because she's using a pc?

You will find this site to be of great help with iCloud.
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/
That site has enough information on it to make your head spin. I may be wrong about this but - I want to correct something .....
The way that I understand that iCloud works - if you want to share content with iCloud using different devices - you must be using the same iCloud.com account. Using the same iTunes account lets you share purchased content - you must both use the same iCloud account to sync across your Mac, iPad, etc and her PC.
If you both use different iCloud.com accounts, you can't sync across devices. You can't heave separate calendars either. You have to be sharing the same calendar as well.
But you can read the information on the support site and check that out for yourself.
