Lack of options in iCloud control panel compared to MobileMe Control panel, so now what happens if there is a conflict of data (Cloud vs Computer)?

Back then when we were syncing with MobileME, the control panel allows us to decide what to do when there is a conflit of data in the cloud vs the information on our computer. We were given the option of Replacing information in Me with information on the computer or vice versa, but now we do not have any of these options. And currently when i sync my computer with icloud, i dont know if the information (Contacts, Bookmarks) will be replaced with the current informaiton on the iCloud (transfered from MobileMe) or they will merge (if they merge then i would have double of contacts,bookmarks??) or the information in the iCloud would be replaced?
If we had more options in the control panel of iCloud, then things can be simplier. However, with the current iCloud control panel, we have no way of knowing what happens when there is a conflict and we won't know what action the iCloud would take for the conflict of information.
So currently i still dont know if my Favourites (Bookmarks) will be replaced or not.
Does anyone know if we can wipe out the info on iCloud and replace it with the data (Contacts, bookmark, calendars etc) on our computer?

This is what I did...not ideal but seems to work for right now till iCloud actually syncs contacts into Outlook 2010 (PC/Win 7) like Mobile Me used to. I opened the contacts in the iCloud contact address boxes in Outlook. I selected all contacts by selecting one and then Ctrl-A (selects all), then Ctrl-C (copies all). Then I went into the Outlook Contact folder which is blank from iCloud "stealing" all my contacts and in that empty box I hit Ctrl-V to past all contacts in. I am now able to use my contacts when emailing in Outlook.
Of course, any changes I make to my iPhone contact list or via iCloud will only sync back to the iCloud contacts lists in Outlook (and not Outlook's main calendar) so occassionally I'm thinking I'll need to go back and do this all again either figuring out a way to only copy new contacts over, or going into Outlook Contacts and deleting all of those, going back to Outlook iCloud contacts (which are syncing but not communicating with other aspects of Outlook like mail) and then do the process all over (select all, copy, paste).
Seems silly that contacts can't work the same as they did with Mobile Me but it seems like Apple has a tendancy with everything but their actual iDevices to be screwy when things are working and make things more complicated. I was not looking towards this day as I knew there would be some stupid issue as it seems like it always is that way with their new software rollouts. In fact, I use Outlook 2010 through Parrells still cause their Mac version still won't sync even calendars...at least iCloud is still doing that with Outlook 2010 Windows...though still the same issue as Mobile Me that it doesn't sync with the main calendar...but I can still use it and sync well to the iPhone.

Hi everyone, I've downloaded IOS 5, icloud is rubbish compared to mobileme. Does anyone agree?

Hi all, just downloaded IOS 5 onto mt iphone 4. Its all fantastic apart from "icloud". Bring back mobile me, is there anyway I can stay with mobile me or should I give icloud a chance?
regards P.K.

I have wasted over 20 hours trying to recover from this mess. After MobileMe, I expected Apple to be on top of iCloud. This is an even bigger slap in the face of Apple customers. Duplicate contacts and calendar entries. Mail doesn't work at all. Multiple calls to support. Nobody seem to understand how screwed up this is. I suspect that non-MobileMe customers are doing much better. They failed with the Mobile Me introduction and didn't learn a thing.

HT204264 iDevice Sync Query - IOS Photos & iCloud Photo Library over filling ipad iphone storage - what happens next?

Device Sync Query - IOS Photos & iCloud Photo Library fills ipad iphone storage - what happens next?
Quick question, when you select IOS Photo / IiCloud storage (photos are optimised etc) what happens when ipad / iphone storage is full and you now need to add new apps, photos etc? In my case I have 3 * 64gb ipads & 2 * 128 gb iphone but these are all filling up with photos since enabling IOS Photo & iCloud Photo Library (as all of my photos on each device are now copbined on every device as well as the cloud). This has become a problem as when I try to sync my idevice I get the device full warning (and I am assuming I now need to delete apps / videos if I want to sync or make more space for new photos etc). As far as I can tell once you enable IOS Photos and iCloud all photos will upload at original resolution and download at idevice resolution and there is no way to select / control the photos you want to keep on phone (eg if you delete photo on phone it will now delete the original on cloud).
Couple of questions / Suggestions:
- Will IOS Photos on IOS device automatically lower resolution of pics or use thumbnails for old photos that are already in icloud to ensure that there is space on device for new photos, apps videos music etc. Eg will old photos that have already been uploaded in icloud be replaced by new apps videos music etc (not sure that the IOS Sync or iCloud currently does this)
- Is there away to limit control or limit the number of IOS photos that sync to each idevice (eg by starring photos)? I had a look and can not see away to select photos you want to keep or remove (without deleting them on cloud). As per above I am hoping that the IOS sync and icloud systems are smart enough to replace Photos that have already upgraded to cloud with a lower quality / thumbnail to make more more room for new photos and apps (but not clear if this occurs)
- If this is a problem now what happens once the new PHOTOS launches for OS Desktop eg will it add in all our photos from iphoto to the icloud then to the idevice as part of the OS PHOTOS UPGRADE. I have 15-30 gb of photos in IPHOTO that are now backing up to icloud, there needs to be away to only select starred photos or albums or every photo try to download to my iphone (which will kill my storage). There also needs to be away to keep photos on idevice (for those times when you do not have internet and can not download from iCloud to iDevice
Apologies if I have missed something obvious and welcome any thoughts & answers.
If there is no solution then Apple needs to look at this and highlight it as a risk to customers who switch as this is being sold as a way to minimise your device storage but can lead to to customers using up more storage for photos on ipad iphone as a result of switch to IOS PHOTOS &
iCloud Photo Library

Things are not as dire as they might seem at first glance. My 66GB iPhoto Library became a 40GB iCloud Photo Library (~11K photos, ~300 videos) and only uses 2.2GB on my iPad and 2.4GB on my iPhone. Scaling that experience, a 64GB/128GB iOS device should be able to easily handle a 300GB iPhoto library. My iPad and iPhone are 32GB devices and I expect them to be livable through at least 30-40K of photos.
16GB devices have always been problematic for space even before iCloud Photo Library so I'd expect anybody with a 16GB device and more than a few thousand photos is not going to be able to use iCloud Photo Library with it. They will have to use iCloud Photo Streaming to get photos to iCloud Photo Library and iCloud Photo Sharing or iTunes syncing to get a subset of photos back to the device. Not a great solution but workable. However, it wrecks one of the best features for me which is using my iPad to edit the photos I take on my iPhone.
The part that worries me is the automatic space management routine. The problem it creates is that I might want to add a movie, but there won't be enough space, and my only option will be to reset iCloud Photo Library on the device to get back to all thumbnails on it to see if that gets me the space I need. I've already had to do it a couple of times with iTunes Match and it's not fun. It all depends on how aggressive Photo Library will be in trimming off full-size photos/videos and Apple appears to be leaving it a black box at this point. It would at least be nice to know an estimate of the minimum size so I know how much space I can recapture.

What happens to my MobileMe Gallery when I switch to iCloud?

I have about 20 picture folders in my MobileMe Gallery.
1. What happens to those pictures when I switch to iCloud? Do I need to manually download each folder and then reload them to iCloud?
2. Gallery had a nice option of making some folders public and others private - does anyone know if this option exists in the iCloud photostream?
3. I currently have a PC (ugh! - saving to get a MAC) running Windows XP Pro - am I correct that Photostream will not work with my PC?
Many thanks for any help!!

If you have an iPhone 4 or 4s, an iPad 2 or newer you could download iPhoto for iOS; import your albums onto the devices and use the Journal function to create a journal and post it to iCloud for friends to see. It even allows you to announce to your friends and family the new post. The images look as if they are posted on a bulletin board. After selecting an image, the view can manually view the next image by pressing the next button or view all of them in a slideshow.

"Account Limit Reached" when signing in iCloud, so now what?

When I sign in iCloud, a warning says Account Limit Reached.
What does that mean and now what?

1) attempt to sign-in at www.cloud.com
2) if it won't let you then an error message will be presented telling you that the AppleID needs to be setup on an iOS device first
3) sign-in on an iOS device in the iCloud settings
4) agree to the Terms Of Service
5) now sign-in's to www.cloud.com and Mac OS X Internet Accounts will work as desired

HT201250 I backed up my iMac with a "WD My Passport" using the Time Machine option and tried to restore my iMac but it only saved my applications none of my documents, photos nothing else! What happened?

I backed up my iMac with a "WD My Passport" using the Time Machine option and tried to restore my iMac but it only saved my applications none of my documents, photos nothing else! What happened?

There should be two sparse bundles on the TC, one for each Mac. If you click the TC in a Finder sidebar, you should see something like this (in Column View):
If you see the sparse bundle for the iMac there, but not on the window where you do a full system restore (after starting from your Recovery HD or OSX Install disc), they may be corrupted (especially if your iMac was failing at the time of the last backup).
Try repairing those backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Then try the full restore again, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14. Note that if you suspect problems on the most recent backup, you might want to select an earlier one.

TS3989 Photostream not an option in iCloud in Control Panel on PC

Why would photo stream be grayed out as an option in icloud on my 64 bit sony laptop? I have two sony laptops linked to my itunes, the other is 32 bit, I have an ipad and an iphone.

I will explain a little more about Windows:
If you get the *.jnlp file via Internet Explorer, then the web server must return a MIME type of "application/x-java-jnlp-file" or web start probably will not work (I have not actually tried all possibilites).
IE then looks up (I am pretty sure):
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-java-jnlp-file
Gets: Extension: .jnlp
then
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jnlp
(Default): JNLPFile
Content Type: application/x-java-jnlp-file
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JNLPFile\Shell\Open\Command
(Default): blah\javaws.exe
It then goes through these few more steps (I do not know the exact order but you get the idea) and launches javaws.exe anyway.
Compare this to the simpler (but private) configuration of:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\Viewers
application/x-java-jnlp-file : blah \javaws.exe
They both do the same thing, but Windows abstracts it out so that explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe are using the same information. Some people like it. Some people hat it. I am pretty blah about it, as long as I can understand it somehow and fix it when it breaks.

TS3989 in windows iCloud Control Panel 3.0, photos checkbox grey out! what should i do?

in windows iCloud Control Panel 3.0, photos checkbox grey out! what should i do?

Have had some success with multiple computers running Windows 7, Vista, and Windows Server 2008 doing the following with iCloud Control Panel 3.1 (combination of several different remedies posted in forum):
Sign out of iCloud Control Panel
Open Task Manager and End all Apple iCloud and Photostream processes
Delete the files from the Directory C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Mediastream
Open iCloud Control Panel and sign in with apple ID
If Photo option is still greyed out, sign out and sign back in with iCloud email address and password.
This has worked for seven users that I support across several different windows hardware platforms. Good luck!

HT201317 What happened to the ADVANCED option on iCloud?

Does anyone know what happened to the ADVANCED option on iCloud.com? I cannot delete my photo stream since Apple has removed that option and replaced it with NOTIFICATIONS.

It's not a problem, indeed it's helpful, I'm aware it looks as though I'm here to argue, I just don't want others to get wrong information, it helps when others give their opinion.
The bathroom TV, is a TV manufactured for a bathroom, it's a sealed unit, it meets all regulations and sits in the wall where it can be easily viewed while soaking in the tub. The Apple TV is also in the wall and is controlled by our phones, it's connected to an amplifier which is situated in the garage which in turn is connected to waterproof speakers in the bathroom ceiling. I did it all myself and am quite pleased with it.

Uninstall MobileMe control panel for windows

Hi I saw a post from
turingtest2
Re: MobileMe Services has stopped working in Windows.
Feb 8, 2014 5:58 PM (in response to AKAJEF)
on: MobileMe is a discontinued service and the control panel should be removed if still present. Not doing so could cause Microsoft Outlook to freeze and/or issue error messages. See HT2992: MobileMe: Uninstalling the MobileMe Control Panel for Windowsfor details.
But I cannot fin out how to do this. I have only iTunes installed on my PC and I keep getting bluescreens and errors messages about MobileMe. I want to try to uninstall MobileMe, but cannot find out how to do so. Can you please help me with some instructions?
Thanks
Vickifb

I tried that, and it did not work. When I went to Control Panel, selected MobileMe, and clicked remove, I got a loud error noise and the following error message: "The procedure entry point obj_exception_try_enter could not be located in the dynamic link library objc.dll"
It then gives me an option to look for an answer online. I select that option, but nothing happens.
The link reference in the first post on this thread, HT2992: MobileMe: Uninstalling the MobileMe Control Panel for Windows, does not seem to exist. Clicking it just takes one to the main Apple support page.
This is causing me problems every time I use Outlook! There must be some way to fix this! Please help.

HT1349 The photo option in ICloud on my computer will not activate (it is grayed out as an option). Any assistance in getting my photos from my incloud on my iphone and ipad to my computer

The photo option in ICloud on my computer will not activate (it is grayed out) after I load the Icloud download. My Ipad and iphone are sharing my photo stream photos but cannot get to my computer. I read all the instructions and reloaded Cloud 2 x but again will not activate the photo sharing piece.

I don't have a Recently Added playlist. However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes. I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet. Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there. Thanks for your help.
