If icloud updates all that is connected, what if one device fails? Will it be deleted off all devices?

I have just set up icloud on my home PC running Windows 7, icloud online and my iphone. I understand how it works by updating all systems together but I was wondering about any crashes on any of the three devices. If somehow my iphone lost all my contacts, will they be lost on icloud and my home pc?

Yes. If something caused your contacts to be deleted on one of your devices while it was still syncing with your iCloud account, they would be deleted everywhere. That's why it's important to back up your synced data. You can, for example, use an app like My Contacts Backup to periodically create a backup of your contacts for safekeeping.

iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Do you have a 15" mid-2010? If so then your problem is surely...
Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):

Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
Good luck,

Can't connect more than one device.

I just bought an Airport Express 2 gen from a friend and I have two issues: I tried to reset it to factory settings and could not do it. Tried holding the reset button for 10 secs, unplugging and plugging back in while holding the reset button, holding the button for a longer time and nothing worked. I had no choice but to create another network. Once created, I can't connect more than one device. If I have my MacAir hooked up the network and I try to get my Ipad in, the minute I type the network pass in my Ipad, a screen pops up where I have to log in with my internet provider account. When I do that, it will connect, but my MacAir will disconnect automatically.
Appreciate any help!

Things are a bit different with the 2nd Gen AirPort Express and other newer AirPorts.
A Factory Default Reset is now the same as what was previously known as a "Hard Reset".
Power up the AirPort Express and let it run a few minutes.
Hold in the reset button on the Express for 10 seconds
Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
If the Express is operating correctly, it will be back to factory default settings at this time.
If you try the reset a few times and the Express will not return to default settings, the Express is defective.

Open the iCloud control panel on your computer and click "Options" next to "Photo Stream". The pictures must not be copied into either of the folders listed, any other folder is fine.
Before you delete all the photos from your phone I would recommend that you only delete one, at first, to check that it is not deleted from your computer.

Does this matter ? and if so what does one do about it ?

Yes it matters. Contact the retailer about that issue.

I stay in hotels alot and use my Airport Express to hard wire into hotel network. But hotels seem to have a sensor that will not allow any other device like my I-phone, I-pad to connect. Just one device and that's it. Is there a setting to cure this?

I stay in hotels often and use my Airport Express to hardwire into the hotel's network. This seems to work fine and allows my Macbook Pro to work wirelessly.
The problem is I cannot then hook up my Iphone or Ipad to the network. It seems the hotels have a sensor and only allow one device on their network at a time. Is there a setting in the setup of my Airport Express that might fix this problem?

If you have the AirPort Express setup in Bridge Mode, try changing the Connection Sharing setting to "Share a public IP address"
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
Update
You will probably get a message about a Double NAT error. Click to "ignore"
This setting might allow mutliple devices to connect and may not. It's worth a try...I have about a 60-70% success rate at hotels with this setting.
Unfortunately, as you note....hotels have become a lot smarter about connections to their network. At some point, they probably will not even allow another router to connect at all.

I have an icloud email account that my spouse used and he is gone now, can I delete this one and use another or will this delete information?

I have an icloud email account that was set up by my spouse and I am trying to get rid of everything with him on it due to the nature of the split and want to make sure he can never access the childrens and my photots, music, etc.
In this I wanted to change the email address in icloud so that I no longer get his emails from his contacts, friends, etc. I made an alias but is there anyway to delete this icloud email address and use another or will this delete all of our data?
New at this icloud and its real cool but afraid to lose all my information.
Help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Deleting the account from the phone will do only that! it won't affect any other information on any other device.

Why won't my Time Capsule allow me to connect more than one device to the network at a time?

Ok here is the shortest story I can come up with...
Several months ago lightening struck my house and ruined the power cord for my old AIR PORT EXTREME....after replacing the power cable my wireless network began to prohibit more than one device at a time to connect to the wireless network.
I replaced that network with a new TIME CAPSULE and it is doing the same thing. I took my old AirPort Extreme to my work and it works like a charm. My ISP says it is an Apple problem but I have had the same settings both at home and at work. Work is great, multiple devices connect but home is one at a time and in order to connect ANOTHER device I have to power down one, and reboot the router and fire up the device I wish to connect.
Any suggestions?

I am running off a Fiber line....the unit that is a battery back up and appears to be a modem as well is called CyberPower CS24U12V-NA3
Techincally, there is no "router" in my house, there is a LOCKED control box outside, a battery back up module in the garage that shows battery life and connection, then a cat5 outlet in my laundry room..All of which was installed by my ISP.
I am using a 2TB Time Capsule running DHCP in Bridge Mode. I can't find the software version but updated it while installing it within the last two months.
Under Network Tab
Enable NAT Port mapping is checked
Under the Wireless Tab
we have a 5ghz Network
Radio mode is set to: 802.11a/n-802.11b/g/n (Automatic)
2.4 GHz is Auto
5 Ghz is Auto
I hope this helps....

Unable to connect more than one device

Hi.
We have copper Broadband with a fairly decent speed (13MB) and a HH3.
I run a desktop PC for general internet access but my wife uses an iPad and is always downloading films, music etc. We also have a BT Vision box which is connected via Ethernet direct to the HH3 (there are no issues at all with the Vision).
The hub is located centrally within very close range of the devices with no major structures blocking the path, indeed wireless strength is excellent.
For a long time now it has been the case that with one of us on, the other cannot use their device as the connection is either too slow or it actually knocks the other off-line. I used to run an Ethernet connection for my PC (my wife is wireless) but having read that the HH3 does not like mixed connections I bought a wireless dongle which initially seemed to help but now we are back to where we started.
Re-starting the hub sometimes seems to help but not always and might just be a coincidence.
Obviously it is very inconveniant being able to only use one device at a time.
Does this sound like a hub issue?

It could be a faulty hub because the HH3 should be able to handle multiple connections of both wireless and Ethernet without problem.
The first thing do do is try a factory reset of the homehub by pressing a pin into the recess button on the rear for about 20 seconds which can often sort out configuration problems.

If icloud updates all that is connected, what if one device fails? Will it be deleted off all devices?
