ICloud questions

I'm still confused on what gets synced through icloud. I have added some PDF files to my ibooks in itunes. they are not showing up in the ibook app on my iphone. I thought the idea is to be "pc free" but it appears i will still have to sync through itunes to get these files in my ibook app. If i do sync to get these in, are things going to get mixed up in icloud (will I get some items doubled because they are already in the cloud and might be added again through itunes. Along these same lines, When I take a photo with my iphone it gets put in the icloud via photostream then it ends up in my iphoto app on my macbook. Do i still need to attach my phone and download this photo to iphoto then delete it from my iphone? I'm confused.

Still trying to understand iCloud and have another question. My wife and I share the same account. She also has an iPhone. If I enable the iCloud calendar on her phone will all her events show up on my phone and iPad as well, and vice versa, will all my events show up on hers ?

What question?
What did you try?
Was the device connected to Wi-Fi or Cellular data?
Do you really want help? If so, stop being vague and provide some details.

Restoring with iCloud questions?

I have a few questions about restoring with iCloud. Here's a little background. I have an iPod touch with about 1000 pictures/videos on it. I just got a new iPhone 5 and it has my contacts on it. I want the photos from my iPod onto my iPhone's camera roll. I backed up my photos from my iPod onto iCloud and I backed up my contacts from my iPhone onto iCloud.
If I erase all content and settings on my iPhone will anything happen to my wireless access? Meaning will my iPhone not be connected to my Verizon phone number? Second, can I restore from both the backups? Third, do I have to download all my apps and songs when I back it up or can I just put the pictures and contacts on and then sync my iPhone with iTunes? Will syncing with iTunes be any different?
THANKS SO MUCH!

You will not be able to restore photos to an iPhone from an iPod backup if that's what you're trying to do. Restoring photos from a backup of a different device is not supported. If your only reason for wanting to restore from your iPod backup is to transfer the photos and videos to your iPhone, just use an app like PhotoSync, which will transfer the photos directly to your iPhone over your wifi. If you need to transfer your other data, settings, apps and other purchased content from your iPod you can go ahead and restore from the iPod backup. However, this will not transfer the photos and videos.
If you erase all content and settings on your phone, it will erase the phone completely (including contacts). You will then go through the setup assistant screens on the phone, choosing your region, connecting to your wifi, etc. It will verify your phone with Verizon and you will retain your current number. If your contacts are in iCloud, they will reappear on your phone when you sign back into your account. When you restore the iPod backup it will restore apps, music and other media purchased from the iTunes and App stores (by redownload them from the store). It will only restore apps that are compatible with your iPhone.
BTW, it would be much faster to do this with iTunes rather than iCloud. Just connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer all your apps and other purchased media to your itunes library. Then click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go the the Summary tab and click Back Up Now to create an iTunes backup. Then connect your phone to iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go the the Summary tab and click Restore iPhone, then select your iPod backup to restore from.

MobileMe to iCloud question

Do I want to delete my old MobileMe account after updating to iCloud? ical, contacts, etc keeps trying to log me into my MobileMe account in preferences and that of course does nothing. I am running lion.

When you setup your iCloud account you will be asked if you want to transfer everything over from your MobileMe account.

Stolen laptop, iCloud question.

My laptop was stolen yesterday while I was at work. I have heard from some people that you could track it if it was ever connected to Icloud. Mine was but I can't see a way to track it other than Find My Iphone and I never set that up on my mac. Is there any other way to track it? Thanks for any help in advance, Sorry if this is a stupid question.

If you never enabled Find My Mac on it before it was stolen there is no way to track it. If you did, you may be able to track it as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f2442.

ICloud Question PLEASE HELP!?

I'm getting ready to sync my iPod touch 4g to my new laptop and I don't wanna lose my app data. I want to know if iCloud will help.
My questions are, if I were to sync my iPod to the computer:
A) How would I restore it via iCloud &
B) Would everything be the same (i.e. App data, Safari bookmarks, Home Screen Folders, etc.)
I using an HP and Windows 7 if that helps.
Thanks so much for the help.

Thanks for that article. I have one other question. If I do backup and restore my iPod via iCloud, how will I sync my iPod with iTunes without iTunes erasing the all my stuff?

Simple iCloud question

Hi guys. I hvan't start using iCloud properly yet, but when I get my 4s next month I'm looking foward to it. One of the things I'm most excited about is iWork syncing.
Question.
So I'm on my Mac, on Safari at www.iCloud.com. Lets say I drag an essay I'm working on onto the pages section of iWork and wallah, it appears on my iPhone. If I then open the document in Pages for mac, and make a few changes will those changes be made to the iPhone version and vice-versa. So what I'm asking is, when you decide to put a document onto the cloud via your mac or pc, is that document then part of iCoud in the sense that it will update on all devices etc?
Thnaks for your help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Any changes you make to a document on your mac will require you to upload that document again to iCloud.com, changing the original on your mac will not result in the version at iCloud.com being changed.
Any document uploaded to iCloud.com will be synced to all your iCloud devices.
One more thing to remember is that if you upload a document to iCloud from your mac, it can't be downloaded again to any mac until it is first opened on an iOS device.

ICloud question never asked before

So I've bought iPhone 5 as a present for my brother from a second hand store, and it was fully working, I've put my apple credentials to get access to apple store and stuff, even more, I've checked "Find My iPhone" option and phone showed in icloud.com, so when I was sure that everything is good with the phone, I've wiped it off using option on icloud.com. Before wiping device I've put my phone number, since icloud ask for it, guess what was my surprise when phone turn on and ask me for someone else apple credentials. Now Apple bounce me from left to right stating that I need proof of purchase from original owner, I've provide them a receipt that I've got from store that I've bought phone, but they're still not really willing to help. Due data protection act they cannot contact previous owner, neither they can't provide me even an email to that person. iPhone apparently have two iCloud accounts now, mine and previous owner, but I can't use my credentials to activate device.
And now my question:
If i can prove that I've bought phone second hand from legit source does that make me an owner of device, and prove that my credentials being used with phone before iPhone being wiped, why Apple still hesitate to remove iCloud lock?

Because you bought it from a secondhand store and not an original seller. The person who sold it to them might have stolen it.

Updating AppleID/iCloud question

I just changed my Apple ID and primary email account. The system sensibly asked me to log in to iCloud again, but with the old Apple ID. So I deleted the old iCloud account and logged into the new one. Now it seems to be taking iCloud forever to sync with the new Apple/iCloud ID. No error message, but I've been watching the little clock spin for over an hour. Any suggestions?

To change the iCloud ID your iOS devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the changed ID. When you try, you may find that the password is not accepted when you try to delete the existing account. If that happens, you have to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

ICloud question, not saving everything.

Hey. I don't really get this iCloud thing. When I go to iCloud storage on my iPad, it seems like it's only storing part of each app. It says I have 4 gb available, but my iPad storage is full! How can I get more on the cloud? when I go to iCloud storage on iPad, it shows me a list of stuff I can backup, and I've turned all those on. Still, when I go to my regular iPad storage, it shows that the device is saving those same apps, just more of it! Help anyone?

HT204053 icloud question

hello there i have problem to sign in to icloud it says "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone "please help me out of this

What you're doing is trying to create a new icloud account. But devices are limited to 5 such processes and you've reached the limit. You must use another device or computer to create an icloud account.

Contacts and iCloud question(s)-

1) I have TWO iCloud accounts – one with a user “me.com” from my MM migration and a gmail.com user name from when I set up iCloud originally. My iMac is connected to both accounts but is showing that the me.com address is my “primary” iCloud account. I can log in to iCloud via the web on both accounts. Is there any way to get rid of one of them? I can see this becoming a big problem later and believe that this may be part of my other problem…
2) I have a new iPhone with all my contacts from my old iPhone. I deleted the contacts on my iMac in the hopes that I can transfer/sync from my iPhone to my iMac. When I deleted my contacts from my iMac it deleted all the contacts in iCloud (I know, I know...). All the suggestions where you go through iTunes and turn off the auto sync and manually sync the contacts in the hopes that the contacts are ‘merged’ has not worked. All I want to do is get the contacts from my phone onto my iMac and or iCloud so my contacts can propagate to the other devices – is there an easy way of doing this or am I just waiting for my empty address book in iCloud to wipe out my iPhone contacts?
Thanks in advance!

Update...
1) Second account abandoned and all devices pointing to 'main' iCloud account.
2) Turned off iCloud sync on iPhone and iPad - turned off iPhone and iPad (they have the same contact list roughly) - turned on iPhone - turned on iCloud sync of contacts - hit "Merge" - success. Contacts are now in iCloud and on iMac as well as all of my other devices ~ **whew**

ICal-Daylite-iCloud Question

Just to be sure I understand where things are at this point. iCal has calendars both on my mac and in the cloud. Daylite will "sync" with the calendars on my mac. Is there currently any way to "sync" a calendar in iCal that is showing as "on my mac" with a calendar that is showing as iCould?

I too am searching for this answer. So far it seems with all the looking and struggling I have done I have come up empty.
Here is a thread on Market Circle's website
http://forums.marketcircle.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/6441090623/m/9190062636
At this point we have moved to manually putting contacts in Daylite and iCloud Address book now it appears we will have to do this will iCal as well. Good luck let me know if you find anything.

IPod Touch iCloud question

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and I would like to put the music on my iPod Touch on it through iCloud. How would I do that?

You need to copy everything form your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
