your apps do not count against the 5GB. Neither does Photostream or your purchased books,music etc.
What counts against the 5GB is the devices cameraroll , the OS backup and the documents from icloud-enabled apps. For example I use 300MB out of the 5GB, and that's from a 8GB iPod with hundreds of pictures and 2GB worth of apps on it.
You can backup the iOS5 device to icloud and still make every now and then a backup to your local machine :
Connect the iDevice to iTunes, locate the iDevice in iTunes' sidebar - now use the right mousebutton , click the Device's name and then pops up "back up". This creates a local backup, regardless if you have set all to backup to iCloud. This way you are double backed up .

I use FCP 7 Studio on an iMac with Snow Leopard. If I upgrade to Lion so I can use iCloud, can I still use FCP 7?

I use FCP 7 Studio on an iMac with Snow Leopard (10.6.8). If I upgrade to Lion so I can use iCloud, can I still use FCP 7?

Thanks X! I use Office 2011 as this iMac is only a year old. I don't have Rosetta (is it an add-on?) at least, I've never seen it... so... you're saying I could upgrade to Lion with no ill effect to my FCP7 Studio and all it's files and my saved projects?

If I back up to iCloud can I still back up to iTunes also?

iCloud looks interesting and I'll never lose my stuff like I would if my computer crashes but I still want to back up on iTunes and iCloud has only 5 gb of storage which I don't think is enough for and I'm not interested in buying more... Can I still back up on iTunes once I enable iCloud?

Yes, you could just switch the prefered storage option anytime. Just connect your iPhone to your computer and sync it with your computer.

I've migrated from MobileMe to iCloud - can I still access my iDisk on my Mac and how?

I've just migrated from MobileMe to iCloud and have noticed that iDisk on my Mac has disappeared. Is there still a way for me to access my iDisk on my Mac? Can I still sync with it before MobileMe is canceled altogether (June 2012)?
Thanks in advance!

iDisk is not a feature of iCloud.
However, just log back into MobileMe in the MobileMe system preferences pane and your iDisk will be accessible again.

When I change from MobileMe to iCloud can I still use my iPod Touch G2 for emails?

Can I still sync everything as per normal? Is it just the new iCloud features that wont work?

You can't use your iPod with any of iClouds features. You need iOS5 and the iDevice wont run that nor will you be able to move your MobileMe account to iCloud on iOS4.x.
In order to keep your MM account working after next year you must purchase a new idevice or a Lion capable Mac. Alternate : a Vista/Win7 PC with Outlook will also work with iCloud.

HT5824 cannot find my iphone and never had it set up for icloud can i still acceess or find it some how

Hi trying to trck my lost iphone 5 i have lost it but not set up for find iphone.s there anyway i can still track it

Not without physically looking for it. There is no way to track it without iCloud and Find My iPhone. You could always try calling your number to see if someone answers.

Can I still manually sync contacts / cal in iTunes with iCloud on?

My wife likes to sync her iPhone contacts and calendar manually with Outlook / iTunes. Despite my suggestion that she convert to Goggle contacts or another wireless sync option, this is how she is comfortable doing it so she wants to leave it as is. Well I just got her an iPad and want both devices to have the same contact and calendar data? So I decided to turn iCloud Contact and Calendar syncing on (I started with just Contacts) through the iPhone settings.
Her contacts now appear on both devices (iPhone and iPad) but I was confused as to what happens to the way she traditionally syncs. For example I added a test contact in Outlook and then manually synced the iPhone w/ iTunes. That new contact appeared on her iPhone but now there are two Contact Groups on her phone - "iCloud" and "From My Computer". From My Computer has just the one test contact I added while iCloud has all the rest (which were originally all fomr my PC). And the new test contact was never synced to the iPad. So it appears that by turning Contacts on in iCloud, it essentially converted her "From my Computer" contacts over to iCloud.
Have to say I'm a little confused. I was hoping that we could keep the legacy relationship where my wife manually syncs her iPhone with Outlook / iTunes and then through iCloud have it backup whatever she pulls over from her Computer to the Cloud and then send it to all her devices (iPad in this case).
Any ideas for how I can acomplish this?
Thanks,

I solved my problem eventually by getting all the devices - 2 iphones, the newish pc and the older Mac on icloud.
All media, calenders and messages were lost from the iphones, except for purchased itunes that I paid another $30 to Apple to save for me and also paid Appple some more to use icloud but the good news is I did save my contacts
I opened all of my contacts and pretty much had to edit and drag them over almost individually as they weren't all in some sort of configuration that Apple liked - i.e. if an email address ended in ch or es or de it might not be accepted as a properly configured vcard.
It would be nice if Apple made it a litle easier when you have older devices and need to get them in sync with newer ones.

If I upgrade to Lion and migrate MobileMe to iCloud, can I still sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch to my MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo) via USB cable?

I am very reluctantly considering upgrading to Lion and going ahead and migrating MobileMe to iCloud before June 2012. If I upgrade and migrate, will I still be able to sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch via USB cable? Or will these changes force me to get a new iPod that can run iOS 5 because syncing will be nightmarish?

Thanks for your reply. I would prefer to keep using this iPod for a while yet. Cheers!

Can I still upload to mobile me ?

I changed over to Icloud a couple months ago and just now tried to upload a new site
to mobile me and this is what I got your mobileme account has been upgraded to icloud
Can I still use Mobile me? if yes then what do I need to do ?
Thanks for your time

You need to go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and sign in to MobileMe. Then iWeb will be able to publish to your iDisk (MobileMe) again until June 30, 2012. After that the iDisk will go away as well as your iWeb sites.

If i had downloaded ibook , can i still download ibook 3 in my ipad?

if i had downloaded ibook in my ipad , can i still download ibook3 too?

If you mean the iBooks app, then downloading the current version of the iBooks app will update the existing version that you have on your iPad i.e. you can only have one iBooks app on your iPad.

I can not remember my passcode and do not have icloud installed, can i still use my laptop to backup up my files before resetting my phone?

Could this be a reason y i see the message on itunes?????

We have 2 iphone 4. Not upgraded to OSI5. We share the same Apple id to buy, etc. How can we set up the same Apple id but a diiferent icloud id and still see both iphones on find my iphone?

My wife and I both have iPhone 4 phones. Neither of them have been upgraded to OSI 5. We share the same Apple ID to buy things, etc. We are planning to buy an iphone 4s for our daughter next month. We would all like to share the same Apple id so that we can make purchases from the same account ... that way we only fund one account. We would like to upgrade to OSI 5 and keep/share the same Apple id but be able to set up different iCloud accounts for when we sync our phones. How can we do that? One other thing, we like being able to fine our locations on the same screen (and would add our daughter) using Find My Phone. Can we still do that? Thanks in advance for your help.

You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc.

HT4864 when setting up my icloud mail i accidently pressed dont merge instead of merge. can i still merge them and if i can how do i do it?

When setting up my icloud mail I accidently pressed dont merge instead of merge. Can I still merge them and if I can, how do I do it. I am a complete novice at this type of technology so any help is greatly appreciated!!

No problem. If you sync your computer with your iCloud account, you can sync iCloud email, contacts, calendars and tasks with Outlook 2007 or higher; as well as your bookmarks with internet explorer and your photo stream photos. This will keep this data on your phone in sync with your computer. This guide shows how to set this up: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.
To enable photo stream, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn it on. After that, when you take a photo on your phone, the next time it is connected to wifi with the camera app closed and has at least 20% battery life remaining, it will upload the photo to photo stream and the photo will be streamed to your computer if you are syncing it with your iCloud account.
Music is only synced with iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match. If you do, the music in your iTunes library (up to 25,000 songs) on your computer will be made available to download to your phone over iCloud without having to sync or store it on your phone.
You can also automatically back up your device to iCloud every 24 hours when it is connected to wifi and your charger. To enable this, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and turn it on at the bottom.

Hi Shero89,
Thanks for the answer. I am not new to IOS software but I don't really ever bother with it, have discovered how little I take advantage of the i-phones capability, in reality I still only really use it to phone, text, check emails, listen to music and look on internet. I'm not keen on jailbreaking it as I don't trust it to work so normally just update and leave it at that. Only reason I wanted to downgrade was because the update had stopped my bluetooth working but Kilted Tim solved that problem for me so am now not interested in downgrading software. I quite liked the things that IOS 5.1 gave me but wasn't happy with fact that bluetooth stopped working in car as it caused me problems. One day I might try and work out exactly what I-phones can do but on the basis that it's a phone all I really want it to do is phone, if that bit works I'm happy.

Changed from iCloud Backup to Mac Backup now less storage on my iPhone, now im back on iCloud and it still has less free storage

Changed from iCloud Backup to Mac Backup now I have less storage on my iPhone (I had 4GB free, then I had 1.2 MB free) , now I'm back on iCloud and it still has less free storage.. any help?
Thanks

Unfortunately, the only way to remove a restrictions passcode is to restore your phone as new, without using a backup (because the backup simply restores the restriction passcode back to your phone). You could, of course, restore the backup again and save as much of your data as you can before restoring it as new again. For example, you could use an app like My Contacts Backup to back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to your self. You can later open this email on your phone after restoring it as new and tap the attachment to import your contacts back to your phone. You can also import your photos and videos to your computer as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer, then sync them back to your phone later or transfer them back over your wifi using an app like PhotoSync.
