If my PC has a virus, can it be transferred to other devices via icloud during synchronisation?

After I created an iCloud account, and during the first synchronisation (ie when the Calendar, Contacts etc are converted to iCloud), my security software alerted me to the presence on my PC of the Win32/Claratore virus. Is it possible for this virus to be transferred to other devices when they are synchronised via iCloud?

- I have not heard of a virus that can cause problem with an iDvice that has not been jailbroken.
- Try resetting the iPods. nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Do you hve problems with one game? The same game on both iPods?
Other apps?

  • In Icloud I can't see my "numbers" icon which i need to select "tick" to transfer data to my other devices via icloud. any ideas why it's not showing up?

    In Icloud on my imac I can't see my "numbers" icon which i need to select "tick" to transfer data to my other devices via icloud. any ideas why it's not showing up?

    You have to do it app wise, which means that the icon won't show up in settings, but you will be able to move files from your local drive to iCloud via the Numbers app (move... > choose the iCloud option).
    It requires that you set up the same iCloud account on all your devices and that you have the latest version of Numbers on all your devices as well.

  • Somehow my MacBookPro iCloud account has a different name and password from my other devices.  Even my date of birth is listed incorrectly.  I have tried but can't seem to change this info to match up with my other devices.  Can someone help?

    Not sure when mobile me changed, but it was this weekend that my storage etc. lapsed (I have paid to keep storage with icloud). So i assume this has something to with it stopping.

    "I have an Iphone 4s and i can't make a connection to my mac and other devices via bluetooth! ":
    That is correct.

    Becasue this has never been a feature of iphone/ipod/ipad.  There is nothing to repair.

  • TS3999 I have been having issues in ical I have been saving events on 1 device & it has been getting over written & deleted by my other device.

    I've got an iMac & an iPhone 5. I have been having issues when I have been saving events on 1 device & it has been getting over written & deleted by other device. Up until now it had been items that were not hugely important until now!!! I have a daily repeated event that I update on a Dailey basis so that I can keep a record of events for my job so that I can compile a report. The daily event is still in both diaries but any extra info that has been put in has been lost? So I have lost a month & a half a worth of data!!!
    Does anyone know if there is a way of getting this back, can you view you iCal history at all?

    We need to know more about your system, please download EtreCheck and run the report and please post it on your next reply. Then we can see how your system is configured, what apps are on it and look for anything obvious. We will look forward to seeing your report.

    My iPhone 5 won't discover my iPad or any other devices via Bluetooth. Has anyone else experienced this?

    You haven't said which generation iPad you have, but this article might help you regardless:

    I imagine Keynote Remote uses Audio/Video Remote Control Profile which should be available on both your iPhone and iPad.
    I think you're saying that since you got the new iPhone 5, these two things occur:
    1.  Your iPhone cannot discover your iPad
    2.  Your iPad cannot discover your iPhone.
    If that's true, when you turn on Bluetooth on each of the devices, you might see old devices listed that are no longer used.  If you do, I suggest clicking the white arrow to the right of such devices and clicking "Forget this device".

  • The iWork Public Beta allowed me to share Keynote presentations with anyone via the web. How can I share a Keynote presentation online via iCloud? Must the presentation be downloaded to view?

    The iWork Public Beta allowed me to share Keynote presentations with anyone via the web. Now Apple tells me the Public Beta is being replaced by iCloud. How can I share a Keynote presentation online via iCloud? Must the presentation be downloaded to view?

    iCloud is not designed for sharing data with other people: you will need a third-party alternative such as DropBox or Sugarsync.

  • I recently installed a new hard drive in a MacBook 2007 and then 10.6.3. I'd like to be able to Sync iCal to the calendars I have created on other devices (new iCloud account and an ME account). I can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 because the MacBook is 32bit

    I recently installed a new hard drive in a MacBook 2007 and then 10.6.3. I'd like to be able to Sync iCal to the calendars I have created on other devices (new iCloud account and an ME account). I can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 because the MacBook is 32 bit. Just looking for a workaround as this is not a primary device.

    You should update to the latest version of Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 - you can download it here; however it's still not compatible with iCloud and though you can connect to access your email you cannot access any other of iCloud's facilities.
    However some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. I've not tried it: use at your own discretion.
    To access the email:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    Are you sure you can't upgrade to Lion? It requires an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which you may well have, though it also needs 2GB RAM so you might need to add additional RAM (might not be worth it for what you want). The published specs don't mention 32 or 64 bit. You can buy Lion by ringing the Apple Store at the number at bottom left of this page.

  • Can i backup iPad/iPhone to device via internet?

    My MybookLiveDual is connected to internet via router at home. Can i backup selected files on my iPad remotely to the device via internet? I would like to do this while traveling if possible.

    Of course you can backup iPhone to device via Internet just simply using iCloud. Indeed, iCloud provides easy way to backup iPhone.Go to Settings>iCloud and then scroll down to Backup.Here you can turn backups on and initiate a new backup immediately. If this is your first iCloud backup it might take a while to complete. Once the backup is complete, though, your iPhone will automatically backup when idle for an extended period of time and on an active wi-fi network. Of course, it is also simple to restore to other devices from iCloud after resetting your phone and choose "backup from iCloud".

  • Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?

    Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?

    No. iCloud provides no equivalent of the iDisk; it's designed for syncing calendars, email, bookmarks, contacts, photos a iWork (only, so far) documents between your Mac(s) and iPhone/iPod/iPad. The data is not accessible to anyone else.
    For file storage and sharing you will need a third-party solution - this page examines some options:

  • HT204053 Naive question I know but here goes. One apple ID, multiple apple IOS devices (touch/pad/phone). Books purchased via Kindle sync to ALL devices via iCloud. How can I stop this? I want to separate each of the family's reading prefernces from the d

    Naive question but here goes.
    As a family we have one Apple ID. All devices are synced via my PC and backed up to it rather than to iCloud.
    Books purchased via Kindle App appear on all the devices within the "cloud" option. How do I separate each reader's prefernce to their own device? I want to make sure that the younger one's dont have access to anything unsuitable.
    Thanks.

    You can have one AppleID for your purchases so that all teh devices can use all the apps without having to buy them again, and at the same time, have different iCloud accounts for each user so that their content is not intermingled with everyone else's.  You can even go so far as to have your iCloud Account enabled for "Find my iPhone" for each of the other devices allowing you to keep track of where tehy are when they get misplaced.
    If you need/want, you can share iCloud Calendars between different iCloud accounts as well.  This is exactly what my wife & I have done.  We share calendars so I know when she has classes or dog competitions, and she can see my work schedule so she knows what nights I have to be in late, etc.

  • Can you transfer mail signatures between devices using iCloud

    I have created a signature in mail on my mac. Can I transfer that to my iPhone 5 and Macbook Pro with iCloud or is there another solution?

    iCloud includes as part of its suite of services Apple's free email service - it has nothing at all to do with any other email services you subscribe to.
    To get another account on your device, you need to set that account up, using that account providers settings.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods discussed here: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer.  If you no longer have the old computer and you have to transfer it from your phone, you will have to purchase and use third-party software to extract the music from your phone, such as Touch Copy  or CopyTrans.
