Is backup of iPhone, iPad better via the iCloud or my computer? If so, why?
Is backup of iPhone, iPad better via the iCloud or my computer? If iCloud is better, safer, etc, why?
Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262. I personally do both.

I see all of my calendar events in iCal and on my iPhone, but not in the iCloud web app. Any ideas why?
If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on. The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

Is there a way of viewing iPhoto for iPad Journals or Photostream Pics via the iCloud service?
Is there not a way of viewing either Photostream images or iPhoto for iPad Journals via the iCloud Service?
It seems very odd that you don't seem to be able to do this when they are both touted as using the iCloud service to actually share the images.
Or am I missing something?
c.Wow, thanks!
Looks like the basic version of LogMeIn will serve my need here very nicely. -
I just bought a Iphone 5 -- my Iphone 4 and my ipad used to automatically sinc calendars via the Icloud whenever I entered anything on either device -- I can not get the new phone to do this.I have check the settings on both devices and they seem to be t
There are only two things that you must do to connect a device to calendars:
1) In settings>icloud, you must log in, WITH THE CORRECT ID/PASSWORD, and
2) Turn on calendars on the same page.
You said that the iphone 4 and ipad **used** to automatically sync. Do they no long sync? -
My iPad synchs my Outlook tasks via the iCloud, but my iPhone does not.
Hi Everyone,
I've updated my iPad and iPhone to iOS 5. I've also added the iCloud client to my Windows 7 machine running Outlook 2007.
New tasks that are added into Outlook synch via the iCloud to my iPad, like I would expect. They appear in a 'Tasks' list within the Reminders app itself.
However, on my iPhone which connects to the iCloud using the same Apple ID as my iPad, there are no Tasks! In fact, there isn't even an empty Tasks list (the tasks list was created on the iPad after the first synch).
If I create a new Reminder (not a task) on my iPad, that synchs accross between iPad and iPhone via the cloud. It simply seems the Tasks are only eligable for synching between Outlook and iPads... not iPhones?
Can anyone confirm this is expected behavior?Hi,
i youse Outlook and Iphone 3gs and i can sync and it would be displayed in the notification center.
But it would not displayed in the tasklist from outlook. -

Hoy can i syncronize my iPhone agenda with my IPad agenda through the iCloud?, some contacts from the iPad don't apear in my iPhone, and some of them are incompleted.
No. You can set up as a new device or restore from iCloud or iTunes. It looks like you backed up with iTunes, so you can't restore with iCloud. To backup your device in iCloud, go to Settings > iCloud and activate it

I have a Lexmark printer which is a little old. So when i connect my iphone to it via the USB cable my printer doesn't recognise it. If i bought a bluetooth adaptor for the printer would i be able to print photos via bluetooth?
The only way to print from an iPad is to have a printer that supports AirPrint. Here's a link to an Apple support page on AirPrint.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
AirPrint is way to print wirelessly via Wi-Fi but it requires that the printer supports AirPrint. The iPad cannot use Bluetooth to print and it will not print when connected via USB. -
i downloaded an app on my ipad and can't get it to show up on my iphone and I have the icloud enabled
Is the app compatible with the iPhone (i.e. it's not an iPad-only app) and do you have the relevant iOS version on your iPhone ? Does it show in the Purchased section in the App Store app on the phone for you to download it (re-downloading) ?

When my iPhone is connected (via the Lightning cable) to the usb port in my car, the alert tones are no longer played through the car speaker or the phone. This previously worked, but has randomly stopped working. help!
I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider? How is is at all relevant to Apple?? In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty. -

I am trying to connect my JVC Hard Disk Drive Camcorder to my IPAD 2 via the Apple camera kit. I am able to download photos, but video files not showing. Camera shows Mass Stoarge. How can I download videos please?
The file name only has 6 characters and I'm not sure what the .mod format is. So that's why they are not seen by the iPad.
Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Is the iPhone 5 better than the Samsung Galaxy S4/Lumia 1020?
Is the iPhone 5 better than the Samsung Galaxy S4/Lumia 1020?
Like almost everything in this world is a matter of choice, but, if it is to logically make a choice here are a few criteria you should consider before picking up a smartphone:
Do you really need it? - if not, the money will stay better in your account;
Set up the budget and consider the fact that smartphones get upgrades faster than computers and laptops, will you be able to upgrade?
Which operating system are you familiar with?
What are your needs and expectations from the smartphone?
What type of person you are (email/chat/SMS/Social Media-man aka. communications, multimedia, productivity, gamer, etc.) this will help you chose the appropriate hardware and check out what are your options regarding the existing applications for your needs;
Are you always on the run or work in an office? - this will help you decide from the battery life point of view;
If you own a tablet you might just need a simple smartphone.
Samsung does not really innovate in terms of functionality and usability, they only copy what others do and make it their own way. Android is not a mature operating system, yet. I like some of its features, of course, but I can rely on it when it comes to productivity as I'm a person who sends 100's of emails per day and need to easily manage the messages.
You can have the best hardware in the world but that's useless if you operating system is bad at managing those resources, you will not be able to exploit the device to the fullest and you might cry over the money you've spent :-) Nevertheless Samsung has a large market share, makes good phones, but not quite smart, they are rather... intelligent, a smartphone is smart from the day you buy it, you don't have to put it in training mode :-)
As about Lumia, I don't have much to say, it's what iPhone had at the iPhone 4 version minus the 40MP camera and the operating system. If I want a good camera then I buy a camera, a Canon or Nikon :-) Yes, the Krait CPU, so what? That CPU is managed by a Wi*dows OS and that should say everything. I'm not against Micr*soft, they had/have their part in technology progress, but I'm more into stable operating systems, I'd chose Android over Wi*dows, yet Nokia were always great at hardware and batery life. Bad choice for Nokia, look at their sales and you will understand.
That's just my two cents, but iPhone is the choice of millions when they chose their first smartphone: is user friendly, solid, great hardware specs, lovely screen, wonderful support, high-level security, multimedia at its best, a design that catches the eye, looks and feels great in your hand, it's light, you have millions of verified apps in the store and a nice community to tell you all these :-)
