Icloud and hard copy ?

Is it possible to backup contacts on Icloud and also have a hard copy ?
I have recently had a very disturbing experince with iCloud. I started using it to have my contacts online and sync with my phone and computer.
long story short had my contacts deleted. ok now what. as there si no back up on the icloud, apple said that there was nothing they could do.
I was happy that I found a older back up of my contacts and emidiatly stopped using icloud. To risky not having a back up at all.
So my question is there a way I can have a back up on my computer and still using icloud so I don not have to hard wire my phone to get them transfered ?

I am a bit confused. iCloud is my default calendar and contacts for all my devices because like JustJesper I got duplicates if not. I back up to time machine. So if iCloud loses all my contacts and calendars, will TM have stored events and contacts - gvien that iCloud is the default calendar. I guess where I get confused is the line about these events also being on my Macbook which I back up. Are they essentally duplicated on the MacBook as well as the cloud in which case TM does capture them?
In the event of iCloud losing my data, and I can back up from TM, then would TM restore to the Mac in a location that would sync to the cloud and hence restore across my devices?
Sorry to take some time to get my head around it

  • Back-up and hard copy of tags etc for photos

    One of the things I use PE7 (and its predecessors) for is to keep track of the contact sheets I make of my film negatives.  Each sheet has a number, date and a number of tags that allow me to find all the photos taken on a particular date with a particular subject.  Is it possible to make a hard copy of all the information I have on each contact sheet?  I want to store the hard copy in the same binders as I keep the original contact sheets.  The negatives and contact sheets will last for quite a few generations, and I'd like to keep all the information together for whomever may be interested in these pictures at some far-off future date (I know, presumptuous of me to think anybody might be, but just in case).

    I'm not clear on precisely what form you want the hard copy, but PSE doesn't provide you any way to get a list of tags and photos that you could put into another program, e.g. Word.  However, the free utility psedbtool will dump out an Excel spreadsheet containing the contents of your catalog, including filenames, lists of tags and albums, etc.:

  • Soft and hard copy Of CCNA R&S

    Hi all..I just passed my 200-120 exam 2Monts ago and I just revived email from Cisco about the certification..Now I am wondering whether to choose the soft copy or hard copy for the certificate..Can anyone recommend me which to choose.
    My Cisco ID is : CSCO12670248.
    Kindly help me.
    Thanks and Best regards:

    Please make backup before applying this type of reset, since it will restore the phone’s settings to factory default as well as erasing all the data in the phone memory.
    1st option
    Soft Reset (when you CAN still use the phone's touchscreen)
    You need to use the touchscreen dialer to enter this code: *#7370
    Press Select.
    Voila, your phone is back to normal.
    Congratulations.
    Last option
    Hard Reset (if you CANNOT use anymore the phone's touchscreen)
    You need to use the phone's buttons and your 4 fingers to do this trick. 
    Switch off the phone. (Remove the battery if you cannot turn it off)
    Press the buttons: GREEN + RED + CAMERA + ON simultaneously (DO NOT LET GO OF THE BUTTONS) until you see the “Select Country” option after the Nokia's Handshake Welcome Logo appear.
    Choose your country, enter the date and time.
    Voila, your phone is back to normal.
    Congratulations.
    Note:
    If you were asked for a code, just type: 12345 (unless you change it)

  • Logo Visible in Print Preview, but not in pdf and hard copy

    Hi,
    We have uploaded a logo to be shown in the footer. We are able to see the logo in the print preview, but when we print the invoice (SAP Script),  it is not seen in the hard copy. We tried by saving it as a pdf, even in the pdf, it is not displayed.
    We are on SAP 4.7
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.
    Mick

    hi,
    Am not sure what the exact issue could be, but i am expecting there may not be sufficient space to fit the logo. I suggest you to check the output by placing the logo in header whether its coming or not in hardcopy, that may help you.
    regards

  • HT201269 I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6. Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?

    I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6.
    1) Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?
    2) Can I back up the newsstand to iCloud and save memory on the iPhone?
    3) Can I back up the bookshelf to icloud and save memory on the iPhone?

    1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
    2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • I went to iCloud and my mail doesn't recognize my password but even worst my iTunes does not want to open because it says my library is blocked somewhere on a hard disk where I  have no access ...

    HELP HELP

    To confirm, your existing mail client isn't communicating with your existing and remote mail services at Dreamhost? Which mail client are you using (Apple mail?), and how is mail on the client set up?
    It would initially seem that your client is still referencing the server, either for its inbound or outbound mail. (And I'm not sure how unplugging the server helps here, unless there's some sort of a configuration issue, or a duplicate network address or such.) This would usually be something within the configuration of the mail client.
    The Mac OS X Server is significantly easier than the many other servers and server operating systems I've dealt with over the years, but it requires reading the manuals and/or some knowledge of networking and of server environments.
    Small shops and home folks without the time or inclination to "spin up" on these server areas can be well-served with some help initially configuring the server. Servers are different from clients. Stuff that you're implicitly used to using when you're running a client -- the DHCP server, for instance -- are what the servers provide you with.
    As for Mac OS X Server and particularly if you head outside of the default settings and sequences and off into the customizations, which is what has happened here, you might want to engage some assistance. Not just for the direct and obvious initial set-up sequence, but also for getting you set-up and started with backups and other such tasks. Before you get too deep in here and get too much underway and too much saved on your disks, do seriously consider getting somebody in to help set this box up for you.
    Mac OS X Server is not "no IT", but it is rather closer to "less IT" than most. Particularly once you get it configured and running.

  • Im new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experincing a hard drive crash out of the blue, I lost everything. I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I show backups for my iPhone and my daughter's iPod but my mac doesn't exist. How do I fix tho

    I'm new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experiencing a hard drive that went out of the blue, I lost everything. I wanted to use the icloud to back my documents up. I went into the iCloud under settings but it only shows my iPhone and daughter's iPod. How do I get my Mac to back up too? Is there something I need to use to have the documents back up?

    You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
    If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:

  • Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

    Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac.  I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11.  Is that the cause of the problem?  Please advise.  Thanks.

    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • Cannot drag or copy files on the desktop and hard drives

    I cannot drag (and therefore copy or move to trash or other drives, folders) any of my files, folders, application, pics, etc. All my programs open fine, and if I have a file on the desktop or in hard drive (I have 2) I can double click on file and it will open fine, but I cannot grab hold of anything and drag it to trash or to another folder, drive etc.
    I have run disk utility and repaired permissions, but no luck so far. Only thing I think I did different recently is downloaded dvd 4 updater and tried to install it - however, I only had dvd 2.1 which I had just updated from dvd 1
    Also - nothing shows up in the recent items folder even after applications are opened and I cannot access finder controls to re-launch etc.
    thanks, any suggestions much appreciated!

    Drag & Drop not working...

    How did you delete the Note? If you did a "select all" and "cut", open the Note and shake your iPhone to undo the cut action.

  • Creating a survey in acrobat, processing on hard copy, and data compiling via Acrobat scanning

    Hi there,
    I am new to creating PDF forms using Acrobat Pro 9. I have been asked by my manager to sort out a way we can create a survey (for staff)and have the data input to the survey, processed and compiled ready for an analyst to create a report of the data.
    Basically, this is a survey of staff by staff, anonymous and to be completed on hard copy (Printed PDF with survey template).
    So, I have started to think about the best way to go about this, can I create a survey in Acrobat, print it, fill out the multiple choice questions, scan it in Adobe, and allow acrobat to gather the data?
    Personally I would like to use Acrobat (as I am enjoying learning it), but is this the right tool for that job? Is there a feature that enables multiple choice surveys to be created, printed, filled out, scanned again (with answers filled in), and compiles the data?
    I hope I have explained that clear enough...;-)
    Kind regards
    Kevin

    By itself Acrobat does not "compile data".
    By the way nothing compiles data from a picture. All scanners output a picture of the scanned paper (that is, an image file such as TIFF).
    Acrobat can perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of the picture of text.
    The OCR output is the characters - no format, tables, rows, columns, no text styling, etc.
    So harvesting useful information can pose something of a challenge.
    You may want to consider manually compiling the results.
    Be well...

  • I have my contacts synced with icloud and exchange. I want all of them to be synced via icloud, I have tried turning contacts off and then clicking merge but that doesn't copy all of them over. How do I transfer all contacts onto my phone and then icloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

  • I am having the same problem I think.  With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch.  I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore.  Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

    Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
    Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
    , so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
    No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
    Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
    Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
    Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
    They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

  • PO should be send to vendor (PDF)as soon it is approved and print hard copy

    Hi,
    I have 2 requirements as below
    1) The PO should be send to the vendor in PDF as soon as it is released to the e mail id of the vendor maintained in the vendor master. Also a hard copy of the PO should  get printed.
    2)if the PO does not require a approval ,PO should be send to the vendor as soon as it is saved & print hard copy.
    Hi gurus can you pl tell me the stepwise config to be made.
    KN

    Hi,
    I just came across your post about Sending PO to a vendor through e-mail with PDF attachement.
    I have a similar issue on hand.
    My Program name - Z_SAPFM06P
    Routine - ENTRY_NEU
    Form - Z_MEDRUCK
    My requirement : After creation of a PO, on click of 'Save' button, an e-mail needs to be sent to a given receipient.
    As of now, I have included the code in the routine - ENTRY_NEU and I'm facing probelms with the FM - SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
    Pls let me know what exactly is the codeand where to I need to include it. Pls tell me how to go about tis issue step-by-step.
    In general you will have to do the following:
    1) Set NAST-NACHA = 8 (Special function)
    2) Before OPEN_FORM (maybe in In enhancement spot) if NAST-NACHA = 8, then set itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X' (to get OTF back from CLOSE_FORM!)
    3) During CLOSE_FORM, if NAST-NACHA = '8', get OTF output from TABLES parameter OTFDATA
    4) Convert this OTF output to PDF using following sample code:
    data: I_PDF STRUCTURE  TLINE occurs 0,
            I_OTF i_otf LIKE itcoo OCCURS 0.
        CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
             EXPORTING
                  format                = 'PDF'
                  max_linewidth         = 134
             IMPORTING
                  bin_filesize          = w_bytes
             TABLES
                  otf                   = i_otf
                  lines                 = i_pdf
             EXCEPTIONS
                  err_max_linewidth     = 1
                  err_format            = 2
                  err_conv_not_possible = 3
                  OTHERS                = 4.
    5) Send email with PDF attachment using the method(s) mentioned in one of these excellent blogs:
