Is iCloud for iPhone Secure?

Are there any security concerns when using iCloud for iPhone. Is any of my data or pictures in Picture Stream vulnerable to hackers or can it be used, or misused, by Apple or their affiliates as it remains on their servers?

HT4972 iCloud for iphone 3G

How can i install iCloud in my iphone 3G in case i didn't had a MobileMe account but i want to have maximum security and find through Findiphone application, my pc or iphone in case they are stolen?
I understand that MobileMe would not be available and new subscribers cannot register. Furthermore, iCloud is only available for devices with iOS5, which is not available for iphones 2G and 3G yet.
However, this makes the users of these products more valnerable in case they loose or somebody stole their iphones or laptops.
Would iOS5 be available soon for the users of iphone 3G, or is there any other way of downloading the iCloud for these devices?
Thank you in advance!
Kind Regards,
Constantinos Sophocleous

"How can i install iCloud in my iphone 3G "
You cannot. It requires ios 5.
"However, this makes the users of these products more valnerable in case they loose or somebody stole their iphones or laptops."
it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
"Would iOS5 be available soon for the users of iphone 3G"
No.
" is there any other way of downloading the iCloud for these devices?"
No.
Sorry

How do I get my contacts to sync using iCloud for iPhone and iPad.

I can sync my pictures using icloud on my iPhone and my iPad however when I try to do the same for contacts having no luck. Also when I type a callander event on my iPad it comes up on my phone however when I type entry on iPad on calendar it does not come up on my phone.. Can anyone help.

Yes I agree with iamjeremie above. I am a newbie and had some trouble with this myself over last few days but now sorted.
You can also select existing cal entries, edit them and change calendar to correct one (iCloud cal in your case). Yes you need to set iCloud cal as default in settings. Also it may be worth disabling other unused or unwanted calendars in other accounts if you only want to use iCloud. Make sure to accept the prompt and save existing entries to device when disabling accounts so you do not loose or switch off your existing entries. Less confusing that way. Remember you can change entries to another cal in the future if you wish.
Keep it simple. I now have 2 calendars set up on iPhone and one on iPad.
Exchange cal for work. On exchange server at work and work stuff syncs with windows PC and server at work.
Hotmail cal for personal stuff that syncs with work iPhone, home PC and personal iPad.
I would have used iCloud for all but work iPhone and personal iPad are on separate iCloud accounts.
This was a work around and works great for me and enables me to enter synced personal cal entries on my work iPhone.

What is the order in which I must change my Apple ID on all my Mac products:iTunes, iCloud for iphone-MacIntel- MacAirbook

I wish to change my email account on my AppleID. But I am faced with having to go back and forth between old and new emails/accounts to get ALL my Mac products changed to the new email address. I have needed to delete acounts, and then reset accounts back to the old account to only re-delete or re-set.
Is there a specific order in which to do update all my Mac products? What item do I reset first, what product follows the next? I do not have an ipad but might as well add it to the list for when I do get one and have to do this all again.
What I have done so far-
My apple ID is currently set to the original email account (aol) that I wish to delete.
my icloud on my iphone has been deleted
my iTunes is set to the old aol account
Now... what item gets changed first, second.....

First verify that your existing Apple ID password conforms to these rules:
If not, change your Apple ID password first.
To change your password read Apple ID: Changing your password
Then, sign out of all the Apple services on all your Apple products. Use the link in Step 8 of this document as a checklist to make sure you do all of them:
Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
The order in which you change your Apple ID does not matter.
Subsequent to changing your Apple ID read and follow:

Hi:
I use measurement studio 6 and VB6. I want to run a labview program(*.vi) which is no parameters to input to judge whether spectrum ananlyzer is in ready state.How can I run the program?
Thanks for your help!
Check out Active X. LabVIEW (and the runtime engine if you build a small mini executable with the LabVIEW application builder) can work as Active X server which can be invoked by VB to load and execute a VI.
There should be quite a few samples in the Development Library on this site for this.

Which VPN best for iPhone security?

I understand, thanks to "Kappy -Don't call me late for dinner", that in order to beef up my MacBook Pro's security I can: "Use software to mask your online presence such as ProxyCap 2.03,MacProxy, Proxifier, or Hotspot Shield."
Are any/all of these also a good choice for protecting my vulnerable iPhone?

There are several security apps in the App Store but most are for data protection. Find My IPhone is very good for blocking the phone and limited tracking but its an "after the fact" app which has some preventative value but I doubt a thief would pass up a chance based on Find My iPhone might be employed against him. There are many things you can do personally to help most are just common sense like:
When outside of your home never leave the phone out of your possession.
Never lay it down on a table or leave it in a car.
Keep it in your front pants pocket or in a jacket pocket.
I know this may sound trivial but I'm surprised at people who think just because they use a password that nobody will bother their phone. I visited my sons college and in their library there were several phones just laying on various tables unattended.
Hopefully someone else can direct you to a better security app than what I saw.

Looking for iPhone Security App Similar to Droid's Lookout Mobile Security

I'm a droid user, and because of the iPhone's one button and lack of customization I will most likely always be one. My sister however (even though she loves the droid) kept getting phones that after a few months stopped working. We aren't too sure why, I've never had a problem, but she always does.
Anyway we decided she should switch to iPhone and she is loving it. However I know my sister and she loses her phone constantly. On Droid the Lookout App allows you to locate your phone, back up your phone, 'scream' (in which your phone flashes it's LED and emits an increasingly louder siren to help you find it), lock (making it unuseable if stolen) and a 'wipe' feature that wipes out all your information from the phone if it lands in hands you can't retrieve from.
Now I saw on here that there is already phone backup provided by Apple and a few of these features already but I'm mainly looking for an app (or apps) that can perform the screaming, locating, phone lock and phone wipe feature.
Does anything like this exist? I know a lot of people seem to feel that what LookOut provides isn't needed on the iPhone but I just would feel safer if we could get these features on her new phone.

ICloud for iPhone

Sorry, could someone please tell help me with the Cloud?
- can I use the cloud on my iPhone and choose what I want in it - such as certain documents but not all, some pictures, some music?
- do I have to have my music which is on my laptop in iTunes in the cloud too ? All of my 3,000+ tracks are from my CD's and done on lossless, so I do not want them in the cloud. Also, I do not want to have to buy anything for the privelege

Now you are referring to paid service " itunes match". I think it is like 25 bucks a year and only makes sense if your library does not fit into one device. If you really have music in that quality that you described, it may take a lot of space on iphone and match would be an option. I personally would not use it anyway, cause I was never happy with quality of the music that reproduced directly from ipad, even if I stream it to my Harman Kardon AVR through apple TV. But if you feel that loosless quality does transition to iphone and gives you reproduction comparable to cd player (may be in headphones)- match will work.
Apple - iTunes - Match
iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Support - Apple
As far as your first question - it only works for music and in order to use it you will have to activate it on your computer and upload or match all your library. Plan to keep your computer on for few days. Past upload/match, you will turn it on the iphone/ipad/ipod and you will be downloading one by one songs or playlists when you want to listen to them.

Icloud for iphone 4s

Everytime I go to verify my account for icloud, apple says to click the link to verify my account in my email but there is no link. Anyone know why? Or what I can do? Thanks.

Log in at http://appleid.apple.com/ and check that the email address associated with your AppleID is up-to-date.

ITunes songs not automatically syncing through iCloud for iPhone?

I have to manually go to "iTunes > Purchased" to sync my iPhone with a song I bought on iTunes on my MacBook Pro. It doesn't automatically appear in my playlists. I have the option turned "on" in my settings, to automatically update, et al. What else can I do to fix this?

First of all, This has nothing to do with iCloud, this is all iTunes. To enable songs to sync in iTunes you will need to goto your device > Music > Sync Music, and iTunes should sync all the music you specify and new songs you purchased.
