ICloud...will you be able to restrict sharing across devices?

Hi....with iCloud just around the corner, I imagine there are lots of families using the same iTunes account across multiple devices in the family...i.e...husband and wife iPhones, iPads etc. and a Mac.
I love the iCloud idea, taking a photo and it loading to your other devices, but what if you don't want a photo you took appearing elsewhere? I usually snap items in shops for ideas ahead of Christmas as a way if recalling what I saw and prices...i wouldnt want these appearing on my wifes iPhone so she knows what she might get!!
Appreciate your thoughts or inside knowledge ;-)

I was looking at the apple website and found several pictures of the iCloud app inerface. It showes an "ON/OFF" switch for individual itemes such as calanders, music, photos, ect. So if these pictures hold and truth then yes you will be able to control what is syncable or not. In our house me and the wife have so many calander posts that the only thing we want to use iCloud for is calander. I dont want her contacts, music or pictures.

If you have folders of assets outside of the main website folder on MobileMe, download them from the Apple server. From the Finder Go menu, follow the path iDisk/My iDisk/ to get there. Your website files are in the Web/Sites folder. Drag any files/folders onto the desktop.

Lost my iphone ios 7.2.0 with a pass code an iCloud activate the thing is who ever finds my phone puts it on DFU mode and restore it I'm aware he can do that but can't use it without my iCloud will I be able to track the phone if connected to wifi

Lost my phone it had ios 7.2.0 with pass code and I cloud I'm aware it can be restore on DFU mode but can't use it if they don't have the iCloud user if and password the phones linked with. Question is in this process if the person connects it to his or her wifi to setup up the phone will I be able to track the phone after the restore ? Even though he can't use it because he has no Id no password

You can do nothing if it's not online. With a passcode and iOS 7.1 (there is no 7.2) the device is uselss because it cannot be erased except by you.

HT1212 If I erase the content on my ipad mini using icloud will I be able to restore a passcode for my disabled device

So I forgot the password to my ipad mini, I tried about 9 times to remember the code but each time I tried it kept locking up on me. So finally it disabled itself. NOW, I have logged into my icloud account and I see the " erase device" option if I erase the device can I restore my passcode?

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Will you be able to upgrade your iphone to more memory if you send it in

can you upgrade to 16GB because im willing to pay the fee for it if you are able to send in your 8GB to get it upgrade it???

Hey Army,
As long as you have the ability to desolder/solder TSOP packages, you could change the chips. (Hmm. I wonder if there's enough room to put a TSOP socket? Probably not.)
The 8GB chip numbers are well known (Google around for [iphone teardown|http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=1PYQB3 RYT5FIGQSNDLSCKHA?articleID=200001811] and such). Samsung or Hitachi. Then you'd have to find the 16GB id and a supplier, of course. Probably the usual suspects such as Allied, DigiKey, Mouser and so forth.

Will you be able to unlock the iphone 5 for t-mobile?

I have t-mobile and right now I have an unlocked iphone 4 and want the iphone 5 really bad. Will I be able to unlock it for t-mobile?

I suggest you wait for the factory unlocked phone. Try not to buy AT&T locked iPhone 5, hoping that you can unlock it. Trust me it's a lot of hassle to get newly launched iPhone unlocked. Wait for the factory unlocked phone, pay a full price and use it wherever you want. I bet it won't be long as apple is already selling unlock phones in Canada.

After factory reset information shared across devices won't load

Hello. I recently did a factory reset on my MacBook Air. I backed up my iphoto library and itunes library to external hard drive and was able to load those fine. But I am still having a problem with syncing media and data across devices. Maybe I'm missing something? I set up my icloud; the contacts, address book, etc. seemed to have loaded all the data. BUT: the information that is supposed to load through sharing across my ipad, iphone 5 is not loading. I thought the itunes would load my music just based on the sharing, but it is a good thing I backed it up. Things like ibooks, and the most recent photos I have taken on my iphone are not loaded.
Please help: I need to know how get all my devices sharing again, and/or pushing media through itunes
Any tips would be welcome. Thanks.

Information that is 'shared' via icloud includes calendar events, contacts, todo items, notes, and safari bookmarks. Music that is on an iOS device isn't shared. If it is music you purchased from the Apple iTunes store you can redownload it or it can be moved from the device by using the Transfer Purchases option of the iTunes File menu when your phone is connected to the computer via the cable. iOS apps can also be transferred to the computer this way. New pictures will sync when the phone/iPad is physically connected but I'm not certain how old pictures that exist on the iOS device but not on the computer are handled. You may need to use a third party program to transfer these old pictures - as well as music not purchased from the iTunes store.

The error may or may not be due to the fact the phone was jailbroken. Unless your "friend" changed the baseband you should be able to unjailbreak it. See this Apple tip: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error3194
As you can see, that error means that iTunes could not contact the Apple activation server gs.apple.com. There are several possible reasons for this. First, your antivirus or firewall may be blocking access to Apple's server. Try disabling your security software during the update.
If your friend used your computer to jailbreak the phone the process also corrupted the network database on your computer. To fix this you need to open the hosts file and delete any lines that contain gs.apple.com. Use Notepad on Windows or Textedit on a Mac, edit the file and save it as a text file.
Location in Windows: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Location in Mac OS X: /etc/hosts
It will be a hidden file on both, so you need to show hidden files in Windows Explorer or Mac Finder, or enter its full pathname into the editor. Your account must also have administrator privileges to edit the hosts file.

You can only burn the Movies as a backup. The copyright holders will not allow Apple to do otherwise.

Will you be able to buy unlocked iPhone 5s from retail stores in Canada on the 21st?

Hi,
This might be the wrong section, but it seems to be the closest fit for my question?
Anyways, I am planning on buying the iPhone 5 on the 21st in Canada. My plan is to go around 3:30 in the morning(last year I went at 5:30 and was something like 200th in line! and then buy two unlocked iPhones, one for me and one for a friend. I went to the Yorkdale Apple Store in Toronto, Ontario today and they said that they are not really sure, but are probably only selling on-contract phones in store on the launch day. I then however called the Eaton Center Apple Store also in Toronto and was told that they are 100% selling unlocked iPhone 5s from the begining in Canada. I then did the online chat and was told the same thing. So I called Yorkdale back and they still say that they aren't sure but from what they have been told so far it looks like they will only be selling locked phones, and that they will not fully know until the day of, which really is a bit rediculous.
I was hoping that someone knew whether iPhone 5s would be sold unlocked in Canada at Apple Retail Stores.
Thanks,
B

No idea
Apple has not yet made clear the status of the iPhone 6 models they will be selling enough to risk buying and in any case the warranty is NOT nternational
you will have no warranty on a US purchased iPhone
Contract free and unlocked are not the same in US
depends on how much you want to risk your money
You would need the A1586 very unlikely to be available in US in an unlocked status

ICloud - will you improve it? The bookmark sync is rubbish

I recently switched to iCloud for a lot of cloud stuff. I already had solutions for a lot of these things but when iCloud came out, it got very confusing and I switched to iCloud.
I used to use Xmarks, which is faultless and syncs across oter browsers too. It remembers bookmarks including the exact locations of folders and stuff. The iCloud bookmarks sync does remember bookmarks but they are all over the place. Folders aren't remembered properly and it's really messy.
I think that you guys really need to pay more attention and do it properly.
I also dislike address book app, and use contacts on the iCloud web app instead. This is a bit clunky and could be better. Google contacts are frankly a lot better - but since iCloud it got too fiddly to mix clouds, so I reluctantly went with iCloud
Fix it please ;)

my friend backed up my iphone on his computer in icloud. I want to know if i can restore it to my phone if i have i cloud on my computer?

You can't save or download an iCloud backup from a computer. You create an iCloud backup from your phone using wifi, not a computer. You also restore from an iCloud backup using wifi on your phone, not a computer.
If you backed up your phone to your friend's computer using iTunes, the backup is on your friend's computer, not in iCloud, and can only be restored to your phone from his computer.

ICloud...will you be able to restrict sharing across devices?
