Is there a way of persuading iCloud to sync the smart groups I have in address book on my Mac

I have a small number of smart groups in address book on my iMac. but these do not sync through iCloud to my Macbook or iPod touch. Everythin else syncs even ordinary groups, but not the smart groups. Is there a way of persuading iCloud to do it? I can fully sync my Macbook contacts by exporting an archive from the iMac and then comying and importing this to the Macbook. But this is old technology.

Is there a way to use icloud to sync different information (i.e. reminders) to my computer, but not have my husbands reminders synced to my phone under the same apple ID?

Just recently updated to iOS 5 and love the icloud and it's updated features. Only problem is that my husband and I share the same Apple account and now our info is getting synced to each others devices. Is there a way to keep the auto syncing enabled, but to say that my stuff doesn't get synced to his phone and vice versa???

Sorry... Apple IDs cannot be merged...
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

I am sending emails to a Smart Group created in my address book. The contact in my address book has multiple email addresses. Is there a way for the email to go to both addresses? (ex: work and home email address under one contact)

In my address book, I have contacts that have multiple email addresses. (ex: home and work) I have created a smart group off of the company name in the contact. When I send emails, I want it to go to both email address listed in the contact. Is there a way to make this happen? Or do I have to have a separate contact for each email address?

I will agree with you on this one. Version 31 and all the fixes so far are a mess. Since I have been here answering questions for a little more than a year now I have learned to wait to upgrade until all the dust settles. I see no end to the dust storm version 31 has caused. I am still on version 24.6 and plan on staying there for the duration. At least until the developers comes to their senses and put out a working product.

Is there a way to enable icloud without having the ipod cause i lost it

i want to use find my phone can you enable icloud if i dont have my ipod

You can't enable it on the iPod to find it, if it's lost. Sure you can set up iCloud on your computer(as long as you have Lion), but it will do no good if you didn't set it up on your iPod BEFORE it got lost.

Is there a way to move a layer into a closed group and have it go to the top?

Instead of the bottom? Tried all the different key command combos and nothing worked there.

I would say no. Simplest thing is to open the group first then move it.

Is there a way to get my ipod past the logo screen ?

is there a way to get my ipod past the logo screen ?

- Have you tried resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Next connect the iPod to its syncing computer, if iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPod via iTunes.
- If iTunes does not see the iPod see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so your can restore the iPod. For recovey mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Address book empty on mac, won't sync with iCloud

Hi everyone,
I've got a Macbook running Lion and an iPhone running iOS5, I'm using iCloud to sync. I discovered today that my Address book on my macbook is empty. On my iPhone, I have all of the sync services turned on in iCloud. I also have iCloud set up on the macbook, but the contacts box is unchecked. If I check the box in iCloud preferences, it won't stay that way. Once I close the preferences pane and reopen it, the checkbox is empty again.
I'm not sure if this is a related issue, but this is also driving me nuts. I have an exchange account that I no longer use that will not go away no matter how many times I delete it. I can delete it from "mail, contacts & calendars" and in my address book, but it comes back every time.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!!

Ok, I fixed it. I had to dump the entire ~Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder. Once I did it solved both of the issues I was having. Hooray!

Why isn't the Address Book on my mac syncing up with iCloud?

Since I've upgraded to iCloud, the Address Book on my mac isn't working right. There are some contacts on iCloud that are not showing up on my mac. Also, I can't get "add contact to address book" to work in Mail on my mac -- I'll select it, and it won't add the contact to Address Book. Funny enough, this function works fine when I'm on iCloud using the mail program within it on Safari. And these edited contacts show up fine on the iPhone and iPad, which are all on iCloud. Any advice? Thanks!

First, open Address Book on your Mac, then click Adress Book on the top bar, then click preferences. You will be taken to General, but click on Accounts. In the bottom left corner of the Preferences window, click +. Change the account type to iCloud, then enter your Apple ID/iCloud username and password, then press create, and again if it asks. Quit Address Book preferences and your iCloud contacts will appear on your Mac (If you have any already synced to iCloud).
Note: If you have some of the same contacts on your Mac as you on iCloud, you may be left with duplicates. To delete a contact, click on it to highlight it, then press function (fn) and backspace.
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to use iCloud Photo Library WITHOUT syncing?

The idea I had of iCloud Photo Library was that I could upload my pictures to it and access them from all my devices WITHOUT having to sync them.
At the end of every month, I move all the photos from my phone to my computer. It helps me save space and keep things tidy. With iCloud Library, I want to access all my photos, but it looks like I must sync them through iCloud, and then to save space in my phone, I have to select "optimise space for iPhone". Is there any way to use iCloud Photo Library as a mere cloud storage? I don't want to keep photos on my phone, neither full resolution or "optimised" ones. I want to put them on iCloud, and when I need them, then I want my phone to download them.
I realise I could use other cloud storage providers for this, but I have always liked Apple's integration with their own services, so if possible, I would like to use iCloud Photo Library without syncing to my devices. Just keep my stuff in iCloud, and when I tap it, download it.

Doesn't work well in IE8 (9 I would think is ok), but is fine in the current version of Chrome.

TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

I recently upgraded to an iPhone 5 and I have this synced with my previous iCloud account. My problem is my old iPhone 4 is taking up 2.5 GB of space in the cloud. Is there a way to delete this iphone from the icloud so I can free up space?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming you have finished with your old backup.....
You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage......

You can avoid duplicates by only syncing with iCloud (Wi-Fi) or iTunes but not both.

If I have an iphone that didn't come with icloud, is there a way to get icloud on it so I can use it with my ipad 4?

Do I have to have iTunes on my PC in order to update my iPhone. I'd rather not have my computer linked with my iPad and phone. I'd like to just keep it between iPad and iPhone. I don't have a computer of my own.
