IMessage on the cloud

I'm able to use iMessage on the pad and my phone, but they don't work together. I've seen users who have messages that appear on both, and I've set both of my message accounts with the same email, but still nothing. Suggestions?

It took me a couple of tries to get them in sync too. Here's what worked for me:
On both devices, under Settings>Messages, turn iMessage OFF.
Wait a few minutes so that the iMessage service has a chance to update that you have de-registered both devices.
Turn iMessage back ON on your iPhone. Make sure is says "iMessages can be sent between iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch."
"Receive At" should now say "2 Addresses". When you tap on it, it should show your Apple ID at the top and, under that, your phone number and Apple ID email address.
Now go to your iPad and turn iMessage ON. Make sure you get the same "iMessages can be sent..." message.
"Receive At" should have the same Apple ID as you used on the iPhone. If not, sign out and change it.
Have someone who you know has iOS 5 send an iMessage to your phone number. It should show up on both devices.
Good luck! Hope it works for you!

How do I turn off iMessage in the cloud?

I'm not receiving texts on my new samsung galaxy s5 and wanted to turn off imessage all together and I was told to do so on itunes through the cloud but not sure how

You don't do it in iTunes or with iCloud. You have to contact Apple support and ask them to unregister your mobile number with iMessage: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/.

I want to delete all of my iMessages through the cloud, how do I do that?

I left the phone my parents bough for me in Alabama and now I'm in Texas, I have the er messages turned off for the iMessages but I just got a notification saying that that number was being used for iMessages. What do I do?

OK, so need more info.
You left the phone in Alabama - was it then stolen? lost? or do you know who has it?
How and where did you get the notification?
Was the Messages app signed on with the Apple ID you are currently using?

Multiple devices with iMessage, FaceTime and calendar in the cloud

Hi
There are a number of posts on this, but this is what I do and the issues I face:
My wife and I use a common apple ID for:
Notes
Reminders
Calandars
Photostream (when it works, but there are other postings on that)
Apps
i.e everything else, Music, apps, and addresses are on our Windows PC
We have made a number of sub-IDs for our four devices (iphone 5s and 5 plus iPad 1 with IOS6? and iPad 3) can get the correct emails and iMessages they should and FaceTime rings where it should.
We have done this by selecting where to receive (at) our messages in settings, e.g. the iPhones use our phone numbers as references. The iPads use a gmail address that we have identified under our one Applie ID. Here can be crossover, but I get my messages and my wife gets hers
With the addressbook in the cloud, we can arange here medical and other appointments very easily and synce the stuff everywhere. Notes and reminders. This leaves books music and other stuff safely on the PC, backed up, and only updated when we sync.
This works well, and only when a cloud document is changed in error, do we pay for doing it this way. If my wife were more able, I suppose that she could easily edit the settig details to read my messages, but she has no wish to do this,
This is all fine, buit since IOS 7, whenever a SIM is swapped, I travel a lot, iTunes and iMessages are st to receive everything on all devices. So, my wife gets my messages and I hers. I have to manually fix these, not an onerous task, now I have done it so many times, and have documemnted it; just ver frustrating.
I am in the UK now, my wife is in hospital and does not have enough ability to fix the stuation over the phone.I will have to live with this and a temporary phone (that I got for messages and calls).
What I would like to know is:
1 - Is there a way to stop IOS 7 updating the Mesage / FaceTime read / contact a locaions everytime I change a SIM?
2 - Short of creating a new Apple ID for iCloud, and not being able to share calendars, notes, reminders and photostream (when it works), is there a way around this?
When I gave back home, I will fix the devices up again to make sure we get our separate messages and details. My next UK trip will involve taking the second phone with me.
Any ideas welcome.

Do I have a choice as to what actually gets transferred into the cloud or does it take what it wants? What if I don't care to share particular data with another device, does the cloud take it anyway?

How do I find my old phone 4s backup on the cloud?

My husband's iPhone contacts were commingled with mine. After a couple of hours at the APPLE store, we thought it was straightened out so he deleted my contacts from his phone. That automatically deleted my contacts on my 5s as well. I have a backup from the old iPhone in the cloud but don't know how to access it. Where do I go to be able to open the old one up? Then what? Help!
Mary
PS
Our problem began with an old Apple ID from my husband's old work email that he can't access. Even Apple acct Security can't figure that glitch out!
Right now I'd just be happy to find my iPhone contacts!

Hi,
By Default the Buddy lists are hidden (not Displayed) in Messages.
First go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts
If the Set up of System Preference > Mail, Contacts and Calendars included your "old" iChat Accounts then these should be in the Account listings in Messages.
If not you will have the iMessages Account and the Bonjour Account that may or may not be active.
If your iChat accounts are not there you can add then in the "normal" iChat way of using the + button below the list.
In the Add Account Pane the Apple options have been removed to create a simpler "AIM" entry (you just need to add the Apple ID is full)
Once you have the accounts in the list or Enable the Bonjour Account then the Window Menu gets an item called Buddies with the CMD +1 keystrokes.
This is a combined list (even if you only have one account logged in).
It can be split in to separate Buddy list by going to Messages menu > Preferences > General Section and Unticking the item about gathering all accounts into one list.
This will separate the Buddy list giving each a separate CMD + # Keystroke.
The Main Messages Window/Chat Window/Interface can access the Buddies.
New Message icon top left
Blue + Icon top right that appears
Choose Buddies (drop down)
This tends not to be very clear as to which Buddy List the Buddies belong to.

I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my grandson to use like an iPod Touch. Wifi only. How do I deactivate my info..so he can buy his own apps. and not have the cloud pushing all of my data to the old phone?

Just turning off Cloud will not prevent him from turning it back on.
Rignt now, if he uses the App store, iTunes thinks it's talking to me.

First, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account, while your sim is still in the phone. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Give it to your grandson & he gat then set it up as he wants.
Important your turn iMessage & FaceTime off to disassociate the phone from your Apple ID. Apple "claims" to have fixed this with iOS 6.0, but until I can absolutely confirm such, I still recommend you turn all of that stuff off first.

I have a few movies in my itunes that wont save to the cloud how do I fix that

I have a few digital copy movies that I have downloaded from iTunes and they are not showing up in my history list and I cannot download them to my other devices. They do not have the clould icon next to them. How do I make sure that they are saved to the cloud?

Are these movies that were purchased thru iTunes? If not that is why. The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails

Haven't used icloud yet but if we have multiple devices with multiple contacts can we save each contact list to the cloud separately?

We have four separate iPhones with four separate contact list but one family apple ID. If we back each device up to the cloud using the same apple ID will it keep the lists separate?

You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

stop using the same Apple ID for iMessage on both phones

HT4847 Can I have multiple users's family devices backed up to the cloud e.g. 2 iPhones and 2 iPads under the same iTunes account

Just got a second iPad for the home.
Can I have multiple users's family devices backed up to the cloud e.g. 2 iPhones and 2 iPads under the same iTunes account?

Yes, but it's not usually recommended to share an iCloud account within a family. If you do, any data you sync with iCloud will be merged and you, for example, will end up with each other's contacts and calendars on your devices. Also, any action taken on one device (such as adding or deleting a contact) will be replicated on the other devices. You will also all be sharing the same 5GB of free storage for all your data and device backups.
Normally it's best to use separate iCloud accounts for each person's devices. This will keep your data separated, and allow each person to have their own free 5GB of storage. You can continue to share the same iTunes ID within the family; the ID you use for iCloud does not need to be the same as the one your use for iTunes purchasing. (Each person should also use a separate ID on their devices for iMessage and FaceTime to avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.)

Music in the cloud not showing up

This is really starting to get frustrating. Apple needs to get their crap together. I can't access any of my music in the cloud. The "Hide items in the cloud" is greyed out. There are no cloud icons next to my music or movies, local content only. I know this isn't the place but since a few days ago my iMessages and been screwed up horrendously. It's like I've got two complete different converstations going on between OSX and iOS. Seriously?! What is going on Apple?! I'm usually the one defending but this is rediculous. Get your crap together!

Man, I was pretty upset last night. Nothing seemed to be working right. The View -> SHowed items in the cloud was greyed out. It was the Preferences -> Store. For some reason it became unselected after updating to 11.01 which is weird. Thanks Steve.

HT204406 I am having a very difficult time with accessing my music from the cloud. I need to have itunes open on my laptop in order for it to work. And as soon as I close out itunes on my laptop, it gives me a warning that all users will be logged out.

Where are iTunes files located?
No, I do not mean just the music. Copying just the media/music files or the media folder creates problems.

Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjust, please let me know.

Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails.

Looking for a calendar that syncs with my other iPad in the cloud?

I have tried numerous calendar/agenda programs, but none sync easily through the cloud with my other iPad. Could be me being inept. Trying to input appointments on my iPad at work and sync it with my iPad at home. Appreciate any help. Thanks Peter

Isn't it just called 'Calendar' ? The one with a red bar across the top. If you've put other calendar apps on the phone take them off because they'll take over some of the functions of the Apple software and stop it working properly.
Make sure you're using the same account on both iPads. For instance, you might have one connected to your 'work' account and the other connected to your 'home' account.
If you enter an event into an iCloud calendar using one device, and it's connected to the internet, it should quickly show up on all devices using the same iCloud calendar, as soon as they can connect to the internet. If that's not happening, something is wrong with your setup.

Can I activate the Cloud software on more than one computer? [was:Gerry]

I purchased a single user PS CC license last year. During the interim the nature of my work has neccesitated that I have to work at two sepearte offices (one at home and one at my formal offices). Is it possible to "switch" the license to the different computers when I am at the different locations?
Can I log off at the office and login at my home office and vice versa? Use of the license will therefore be either at the office or at my home office but never both at the same time?

On the computer where you want to deactivate the Cloud, launch any Cloud app e.g. Photoshop CC 2014 and click Help > Sign Out.
Activation & Deactivation Help
That will deactivate all Cloud apps on that computer. (They can be reactivated at any time by signing in again.)
On the new computer, sign in to your Cloud account with your Adobe ID, download the Cloud app then download the software.
