Icloud, icloud

Hi Folks,
I have a few of questions about backing up my iPhone4S 64GB to iCloud.
1. Does apple compress the backup?
2. If the backup is compressed the for a 64GB iPhone how much iCloud space would you require if the phone was nearly at capacity?
3. Does the backup back up absolutely everything on the phone, all data stored on all apps?
Thanks in Advance

For what is backed up, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
I've never seen anything about whether backups are compressed or not.

When I go to the iCloud site on my iPad2 I don't get the log on rather 3 prompts one of which is to install iCloud. iCloud is correctly installed. I was able to sign in in the past to get a pages document

You cannot use iCloud.com on a mobile device. It is meant to be accessed on a computer - not the iPad.
There is almost no reason at all why you need to access the account from the iPad since you can do everything on the iPad itself. If you update a Pages document on the iPad it syncs to the cloud automatically so that you can access it from your Mac using a web browser. If you revise the file on the Mac and upload it to your icloud.com account - the file appears with the revisions in the Pages app on the iPad. There is no need to download the file from icloud.com - it just appears in Pages automatically when you upload the file on the Mac.

Several questions about Icloud, Icloud Photos, IOS8, Photostream and Photos OSX (If it ever happens)

I wasn't sure whether to put these questions in Aperture or Icloud but since the main questions seem to do mostly with how Icloud is currently working with Aperture (until Photos OSX is released - if that ever happens) I opted for Icloud. It's a bit convoluted, so any input is appreciated! I've tried to be concise:
Device/software overview:
Iphone 6+ with IOS8 x 2
Ipad Air 2 with IOS8 x 2
Macbook Pro running Yosemite
Imac running Yosemite
Three icloud accounts plus family share is set up.
Main account for itunes app store purchases
My account
My partners account
Situation overview:
We are new to icloud and IOS (but not mac and Aperture). We previously had Android phones and tablets. Both my partner and I take a ton of photos on each of our respective devices (we run a food blog). Icloud and switching to IOS devices (iphone and ipad) was meant to simplify our lives but we are running into some snags using Aperture until Photos OSX is released--And I dread the thought if OSX Photos doesn't make this simpler in the long run! Right now we are just trying to get our very large (separate) aperture libraries organized and ready for when the update happens. In doing so we have run across some questions:
Right now, in addition to photo stream, Aperture creates a monthly file that is a permanent upload of photos from Icloud. Is Aperture supposed to upload the videos from Icloud as well? I just realized NONE of my videos have uploaded from Icloud. If they are supposed to be importing automatically, what troubleshooting do I need to perform to make this work properly?
If the videos are not uploading, should we just do a manual import of the videos into Aperture? And, I assume that will NOT also bring in duplicate photos as we have that box checked in IMPORT.
Must I leave photos/videos I DO NOT want in the Aperture TRASH in order for the imports to NOT import previously imported/duplicate files? It seems if you empty the trash, how will Aperture know that those were previously imported? This makes the trash huge, however!
Is there a way/is it possible to AUTOMATICALLY have icloud/photo stream import from two (or more) phones/ipads (with two different icloud accounts) into ONE aperture library on ONE machine? In other words, if I want my phone and my partner's phone to upload photos into my food blog Aperture library without having to do a manual upload all the time, how do I make this happen? The need for constant manual uploads will start to become quite a pain!
How do I share A single project with another Aperture Library?
Is there a better way to share an Aperture Library between computers/devices than through an external drive--Given that the Ipad, which I blog with on the road, will not connect to an external drive, we are finding this practice very limiting!
IOS8/Icloud Photos Questions:
I assume that when Photos OSX is released there may be a way to accomplish this (I hope so anyway) but follow me here - My icloud storage can be up to 1 TB but my devices only have 128GB each. Even with "reduce photo size" on my devices turned on, I am going to fill up my phone/ipad in no time! (I only got my iphone in Nov and only have 60G left - Did I mention I take a ton of pictures!?!) There has GOT to be a way to have ALL photos stored on Icloud but only some on your phone!?! HELP!
Within a SHARED FAMILY album, is there a way to create new SUB albums? It seems crazy that I can't organize the photos within that album to create categories like: home, vacation, etc. and shouldn't have to create a new SHARED (non-family) album for each one.
Does anyone know when PhotosOSX will be released and is there any new information as to it's features?
Note to Developers just in case you're reading this: I hope OSX Photos solves every question I have above (and that it still allows for watermarking of photos on export)!
Thanks to all and anyone who can help with these issues!

Lots and lots of questions
The new Photos app in OS X should address much of this - it greatly simplifies syncing stuff across machines. Apple has details on it up here:
https://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
It says "coming this spring" and a pre-release version has already been made available to developer testers.

I changed my AppleID/Password and now am locked out of iCloud. iCloud says maximum number of free accounts have been activated. tried Settings, Mail etc but iCloud does not appear. I was going to delete it and start again.

Had to change Apple ID/Password recently now cannot access iCloud. In settings when tapping iC, log in screen appears with old ID and request for (old) password.
In Settings Mail, Contacts etc iCloud does not appear. I was going to delete account.
Trying new ID/Password message appears "maximum no. of free accounts have been activated".
Using old ID/Password message apperas "you can,t sign in because account was disabled for security reasons ......reset password at iforgot.apple.com which i did.
Can anybody help please??

Hi,
I tried to log in to iCloud but a message appears telling me I "can't sign in because my account was disabled for security reasons....reset password at iforgot.apple.com". I don't know why this happened.
I reset both my Apple ID and password.
When I tap Settings iCloud is listed on the left side between General and Mail, Contacts etc.
Tapping iCloud brings up a log in screen for iCloud which shows my old Apple ID and requests the password. If I put the password in I get the message as above.
If I use the new Apple ID/Password I get the message "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated....
In settings there is no option to "Delete Account"
Any suggestions??

My Apple ID needs to be updated on my iphone in icloud. iCloud account information Apple ID is incorrect. How do I update it without losing anything, including my extra storage that I paid for???

I recently updated my Apple ID with a new email address. Now my iCloud account does not match my Apple ID.
On my iphone, when I press Settings> iCloud> Account> iCoud Account Information: Apple ID
The Apple ID is shown as my old email address, and there is no option to press this and change the sign in information. Therefore, I cannot backup my iphone.
I tried to delete iCloud, but the warning said that everything would be deleted from my iphone if I deleted iCloud. I obviously want what is on my iphone or I wouldn't care about iCloud at all. How do I update my Apple ID on my iphone for iCloud without losing anything on my iphone, including the extra storage that I paid for?

If the Account name is wrong in Settings>iCloud you'll have to scroll to the botom and tap Delete Account, then sign back in using the correct ID.

TS4445: iCloud: iCloud Control Panel 2.0 for Windows requires repair after installation on Windows Vista 64-bit

I have just installed iCloud control panel 2.1, but this has not resolved the Outlook issue.
HP Win7 Outlook 2010.
Does Apple or any user have a suggestion?

Do you have the latest service packs installed for Office.. ?

Mavericks upgrade forced iCloud. iCloud deleted Calendars & data.

I do not use iCloud. Here is what happened when I upgraded to Mavericks.
Backed up computer (thank God!)
Downloaded/installed Mavericks
Installation required Apple sign-in, which signed into iCloud
Changed System Preferences after installation to disable iCloud (for Calendar, etc.)
iCloud deleted Calendar, etc. data from computer... Gone from the computer. No option to keep my data.
If I sign back into iCloud (to get my data back!) It again deletes when I turn off iCloud...
I did not choose to use iCloud, merely upgraded to Mavericks and was forced to sign in. My data was deleted from the computer. My data, my computer.
Question:
Without restoring image backup (SuperDuper) or finding/restoring everything in Time Machine, how might I get my (kidnapped) data back from iCloud then turn iCloud off non-destructively?
I love many things Apple, but iCloud has cast a huge shadow over my love of Apple.

...and yes, I know that if I re-enable iCloud (God forbid!) that I could File->Export->Export all the Calendars, Reminders, Contacts, (hope I get everything)..... But I shouldn't have to export my own data from a single computer to protect it from an upgrade-required "feature".
So I'm hoping for an option to keep my data without having to protect myself from an upgrade...

The use of pseudonyms as the main iCloud iCloud IMAP / new iCloud email without changing Apple ID

There was a need in a new email. My main email of [email protected] and [email protected] I don't use these emails. I created the pseudonym [email protected] and I want that [email protected] was the MAIN email of iCloud IMAP
And [email protected] and [email protected] it is simple to remove.
I am very captious person and if something is connected with names that to me very strongly hurts the eyes. Certainly I could forget, but what for? to me these emails the truth aren't necessary! I use [email protected] from it I write and I receive letters. [email protected] and [email protected] are disconnected in settings and for them only letters come. I want them to remove FOREVER from an account of Apple ID and to use one as the main [email protected]
I ask you to help with this question.

How can I permanately delete applications from my iPhone 4s 4-ever,meaning never to return an haunt me?????

You've asked two completely unrelated questions, one in the subject and one in the body of the post.
Gmail email does not load into iCloud. Only your @me.com iCloud email will load into iCloud.
To delete an app, press and hold on the icon until it wiggles, then tap the X in the corner of the icon.

Kein Mailversand - iCloud (iCloud Offline)

Hallo Zusammen,
ich nutze Mail 6.6 und kann via iCloud keine Mails mehr versenden!
Das System meldet kein Versand über den Server möglich s.o.
Ich habe das Konto entfernt und auch neu hinzugefügt - keine Änderung
Zustzlich eigerichtetes GMail-Konto verhält sich ebenso.
Mein MacBook ist genauso eingerichtet und dort funktioniert alles!
Wer kann helfen? Was kann das sein?

Having the same issue! Nightmare.

I have Pages for the iPad and desktop, how can I save it besides the iCloud on my computer and not the iPad?

I have purchased Pages for my desktop iMac and Macbook Air. I also have it on my iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. They are all synced through the icloud, but the space is now starting to fill up. (I am the guy asking trivia questions and it fills up with A LOT of questions). BUT, after each week, I can get rid of 3 documents (16 questions per document). So, I have roughly 80 games worth of trivia and half of which I would like to save on my computer. I can pull it up on my computer and it shows that I have that from the icloud, but not on the desktop. I have lots of space on my desktop to save these, but the iPad is not as large for space.
How can I transfer roughly 40 documents (from pages) from the icloud to the desktop, (for permanent storage)? do I have to do each one individually, or is there a select documents you want to move? Then I can delete from ipad as it seems to take up space on both the ipad and the icloud.
Thank you in advance.

Just ignore that post above. I tried to edit it but was too late. Deleting a document from iPad does delete it from iCloud.
Ignore the line 'There is no data limit on iCloud.com so you could keep all your documents on there' because of course then they will sync to your devices and that's not what you want.
Sorry, for the confusion.
Removing documents from iCloud:
iCloud: Remove documents from iCloud
You can also move documents to your computer by opening Pages, select iCloud and all the documents you want to move, and drag them onto your desktop (or folder).

Re: What is "other" memory on my iPad

Can I share my iCloud storage with family

I purchased 50 Gig of storage on iCloud for my daughter going off to college. I'm now wondering if other family members can all use that allotted space.

Perhaps you should read these Apple documents about what is stored by iCloud. The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview:
Your iCloud account includes 5 GB of free storage for iCloud Mail, Documents in the Cloud, and your iOS device backups. Your purchased music, apps, books, and TV shows, as well as your photo stream, don’t count against the 5 GB of free storage ........
Here’s what iCloud backs up:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksPurchased music isn’t backed up in all countries. Purchased movies and TV shows are backed up only in the U.S. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore. Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. A movie’s product details page in the iTunes Store shows if the movie is unavailable.
