ICloud and Mac after recovering from Recovery HD

Hi everyone.
I had a serious issue with my mac, but I solved it by reinstalling OS X using recovery HD. So now because of that I can still see my old Mac data in the iCloud. I got the same Mac, but iCloud thinks that I got two different Mac and now it is syncronizing with my Mac. I got all new data on my Mac, but iCloud is giving me stuff from my old OS, because it thinks it should syncronize and give me all my data back.
So the question is: How do I remove all my data about my old OS from iCloud?
Thanks

can you go back to recovery mode then open disk utility.
in disk utility, higlight the disk, the one saying the brand and size then click on repair disk under first aid tab
if it repairs fine, that's okay
if repair was not successful, go to partition and change current to 1 partition then apply
install lion again
hope this helps

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:

Factory restore erases everyting on the drive, if you did not back up first, they are gone forever.

Do i need a separate appleID and password for itunes store, icloud and app store apart from my admin login and password?

after having my mbp upgraded with new m.lion by apple tech service i noticed that applications like iphoto, garageband and imovie are gone
researched online and was told that i had to acess the `purchase` via AppStore where it asks me to log in with Apple ID and password
i used the usual admin login and password and didnt work, also on itunes and icloud the similar case
do i need to register with a separate appleID and password for itunes store, icloud and app store apart from my admin login and password?

Just use the same Apple ID and password that you used to access this forum - that's your Apple ID.
The user name and password on your computer has nothing to do with your Apple ID.
Good luck,

Does anyone know why since upgrading to ML notes are not visible in Time Machine. They used to be part of mail and could be recovered from Time machine but since ML I don't seem to be able to access notes in Time Machine. Any help would be useful.

Welcome to Apple Communities
Mail doesn't support notes. If you use iCloud, you have them in it because Notes is an application

HT201413 I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again?

I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode, however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again? I have updated and restored 5 times! When connected to itunes it only shows the summary page saying ipod in recovery mode.

Fixed it!
1. Made sure itunes software was up to date
2. Pressed and held 'home' button and 'on-off' button at the same time for about 10 seconds till ipod reset (I hadn't done this step previously)
3. Connected to itunes
4. Pressed restore and update ipod
Update successful and ipod taken out of recovery mode

Why do I have to download songs/albums onto my iphone when I have icloud and purchased the songs from itunes?, Why do I have to download songs/albums onto my iphone when I have icloud and purchased the songs from itunes?

Why do I have to download songs/albums onto my iphone when I have icloud and purchased the songs from itunes? I thought the purpose of purchasing from itunes when you have icloud is that you don't have to download each song/album that you want to hear. I get like 5-10 songs from the last two albums i have downloaded, but not the entire album.

Are you talking about iTunes Match? If so, you don't have to download entire albums, all you have to do is play the songs you want to hear.
If you're asking why you have to download the music at all rather than just playing it from iCloud, the music has to be stored locally on your device, either in permanent or cache memory, in order for your device to play it.

I just opened my mail on icloud and all messages disappeared from the last year! I have one email left in my inbox which is the most recent. I moved to icloud 2 weeks ago and it has been working fine until now. How can I retrieve old messages? Thank you.

I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues. They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).

Multiple devices -how to sync all to icloud and iphoto then delete from device

Hello,
I have 2 ipads, an iphone and a macbook. I want to be able to take pictures using whichever device and have all the pictures be stored in my iphoto on my macbook. I have purchased plenty of icloud storage but want to make sure that all devices will all sync to the same place and if i were to delete photos on the the individual devices that they would be safely stored in icloud. Also, if this is possible, will they automatically go into iphoto and what settings should i have? I dont want the whole photo collection on each device only pics i take on it and have them all centrally stored (ideally in iphoto on the mac and in icloud).
i have iphone 5 running ios 8, ipad mini running ios 8 and ipad 2 running ios 8. am planning to update to os x yosemite when available and will be using icloud drive on each. i appreciate any help, i have been using icloud for a while but its a mystery to me how it all works and want to try and save memory on my devices but dont want to lose pictures in the process. thanks!!

Until iCloud photo library is fully launched, and you are running OS X Yosemite with its new photos app, you won't be able to store your photos in iCloud and delete them from your devices. At the present time, when you delete a photo from your device, it is also deleted from iCloud.
You can, however, take photos on your devices and have them automatically stream to iPhoto on your Mac, and saved to your iPhoto events. You will need iPhoto '11 (9.5) on your Mac. Then go to Settings>iCloud>Photos on your iOS devices and make sure My Photo Stream is turned on on your iOS devices (and iCloud Photo Sharing if you want to create shared albums). On your Mac, make sure Photos is checked in System Preferences>iCloud, then launch iPhoto and go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and make sure My Photo Stream is checked as well as Automatic Import (which causes your streamed photos to be saved to your iPhoto Events) as shown in the image below. After that, any photos taken on your iOS devices will automatically be added to your photo stream (when they're connected to wifi with the camera app closed and at least 20% battery power remaining) and will automatically be saved in iPhoto when it's connected to the internet.

Satellite A350-12D - How to recover from recovery DVD?

Hey!
Recently i purchased a Toshiba A350 disc. I've format both the discs and went with a clean sweap install of windows vista. Now, a few months later i want to use the Toshiba Recovery Discs i made on the first startup, to recover my Toshiba laptop and set it back to the default installation.
With the tool to create Toshiba Recovery Discs, i had to make 2 recovery discs. The first DVD contains the Windows installation, and the 2nd DVD contains SWM files.
I started the recovery by putting recovery disc 1 in my DVD player and boot it up. After boot it installed Windows Vista, and it never asked for DVD2. After the installation, I have a clean Windows Vista, but no Toshiba pre installed drivers, software etc.
How can I recover my laptop to the default settings, the way i bought it?
thnx for ur awnser,
sincerely, Frank

Hi
Usually the Toshiba Recovery disk should contain the image.
The image is the package which contains the Vista, Toshiba drivers/tools and the additional software.
The Toshiba Recovery disk Creator can create the Recovery disk using the image on the notebook and therefore its not understandable for me and I cannot believe why you get only clean Vista without the Toshiba drivers and tools and 3rd party software.
You did everything right. In order to recover the notebook, you have to boot from Recovery disk and have to follow the instruction on the screen.
Thats all.
PS: I the drivers and tools are really missing then you could download it from here:

Graphics instability and crashing after upgrade from FF 32 to 33

Soon after upgrading from 32.0.3 to 33 (Windows 7), I was seeing occasional flicker-like split-second black flashes. (I *think* this was mostly when opening new pages, but I don't recall for sure...maybe also when scrolling). Then a few minutes later I was scrolling a page with my laptop touchpad and the screen flashed completely black, stayed that way for about a second, and then came back up with a Windows message that Intel Graphics had recovered from a crash. (Which is doubly interesting given that FF set to use my discrete NVIDIA graphics on this computer.). I haven't seen anything like this happen in the nine months I've had this laptop, with or without FF open. There was also a message that FF had crashed.
Then I restarted FF, and all was going OK, except that I believe I still saw a few split-second "in the blink of an eye" black screens as I opened new pages. But then I went to Google Maps, and was dragging a map upwards. But instead of the lower portion of the map moving into view, I only got a blank white screen. The further up I dragged the map, the more of the the screen that was blank white, until it was completely white. Then FF crashed again.
I thought the new FF native H.264 might be causing the issue so I disabled it and restarted FF. But then I went back to Google Maps, tried the same thing and had the same issue (but no associated crash, although I closed FF very soon after I saw the odd graphics behavior recurring so maybe I didn't give it enough "time to crash").
I re-installed 32.0.3 and all the issues went away. FWIW, I've had occasional crashes and slowdowns with 32 and other recent versions. (I could recover from the slowdowns just by restarting FF.) Most of those issues seemed to be associated with Adobe Flash. That behavior was an occasional annoyance but nothing of the magnitude of what happened when I tried FF 33. I don't know if this latter observation adds anything, but I just thought I'd throw it out there. Fyi, the laptop has 2.4 Ghz CPU (Intel i7) and 16GB memory.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Today when I noted that Lenovo still hadn't released an updated driver specifically for the Intel Graphics, I went back and installed a Lenovo NVIDIA Optimus update that I had tried 4 or 5 months ago but had subsequently reversed because it had created problems with Firefox. (Specifically, it was causing Firefox context menus to render slowly and incompletely.) Not only does the NVIDIA update no longer cause the FF context menu problem, it seems to have *solved* the problem I posted about here. It updated the NVIDIA driver ("GPU #2" above) from version 9.18.13.1269 to version 9.18.13.3302.
This makes some intuitive sense, since -- as I said above -- I have Optimus set to use the NVIDIA graphics with Firefox instead of Intel. (I had thought that, based on what I read in Lenovo support, the NVIDIA Optimus update might install a new Intel Graphics driver as well, but the Intel driver is still shown as the same version listed above (8.15.10.2725). (I don't know whether or not these driver numbers might be Lenovo-specific.)
Anyway, the NVIDIA Optimus update fixed my problem, so thanks for pointing me in the direction of graphics drivers. (I suppose there's also a small possibility that something had simply gone awry with my first update to FF 33, and that what really solved things was simply reinstallingl...)
