Purpose of iCloud with only one iOS Device?

I have given an iPad as a gift to a friend who does not have any other Apple products. Aside from backing up data, is there there any other purpose for iCloud? Will it sync to a PC? And if so what Apps? Short of iTunes, is there any reason to use iCloud for Anyang else if they have no other Apple products?

Firstly iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes, iCloud is essentially a sync service for calendars, contacts and other data.
iCloud Will sync data with a PC.

  • Is there a way for multiple users to sync to iCloud  with only one administrator?

    Is there a way to have multiple users sync to an iCloud account with single administrator so the files cannot be changed on the cloud?  This would be for sales people to have the latest product shots without the ability to delete or change the albums in iPhoto.

    I don't believe so.  Every device that is signed into a shared iCloud account has the same privileges.

  • Input cassette into garage band with only one input device

    I have gone to sound in preferences.  I only get internal mike.  Now I did adjust sound higher.  I tried again to input the cassette and came with zerp.
    I used a 3 ring dubber instead of a 2 ring dubber and still I get nothing.  There has to be some simple thing that I am not doing!!!
    I will once again try my 2 ring dubber and see if it works.  I use a splitter so I can hear on my ear phone so I know the music is on.
    By the way as I am trying to input sound the only thing I get is any other sound made in the house.  Such as scraping and radio etc. but no sound from my cassette.  I must need to turn off that feature but I don't know how?? help   baswarey

    Thank so much, both of you! I follewed directions directly above, but it didn't work until I added a new track and selected a "real audio" track.
    Then for kicks I went back into my mac's system settings and undid the audio input thing, and it still works.
    So it looks like the biggest mistake I was making was not creating a new track, so I didn't get the "real instrument" option, and naturally forgot about it. (Weirdly, I don't think of my little Casio keyboard from literally 1981 a "real instrument"...wasn't it the pinnacle of electronics in its day?)

  • I have yet to figure out how to input a cassette tape into the new Mac's with only one impute device.  the older Mac's had two , one for in and one for listening. Help

    adding cassette tapes to Mac.  I could do it with my older mac but not with IOS

    Look at Amazon:

    The iMac is basic, but will work. For an excellent audio quality with a guitar, but more expensive,   have a look at the Apogee Jam:                                    Apogee JAM Guitar Input

  • How to connect many devices with only one FW800 port in iMac?

    Hi,
    I am upgrading to a new Intel iMac from a 2004 vintage Dual2.0GHz PowerMac. I currently have 8x d2 Quadra drives chained by FW800, and 2x Iomega drives connected vis FW400 hub which also connects HD cams.
    My questions is that with only one FW800 port in iMac, I think my devices connectivity is the following?
    (1) Get a FW 800 hub (I can only find 2 port ones at the Apple store and BestBuy)
    (2) Connect the d2 Quadras to one port of the FW800 hub
    (3) Get a FW 800 to FW 400 cable
    (4) Connect my 6 port FW400 hub to the 2nd port of the FW800 hub
    Thanks for reviewing this solution, and I would also appreciate other suggestions or hear about your experiences if you have a similar set-up.
    Will

    In addition to your listed considerations, you should consider the following.
    Many storage needs do not required FireWire 800 speed. For example, USB 2.0 works fine for your Time Machine backup drive. If you are just storing user data such as your iPhoto or iTunes media files, USB 2.0 is more than fast enough. So, as much as possible, if any of those external drives have USB 2.0 connections and the data storage does not need FireWire 800 speed, offload as much as possible to USB 2.0. I used to be a +FireWire snob+, but since getting an Intel iMac, I find that USB 2.0 works quite well for most data storage purposes.
    There are new hard drives that are power efficient and as large as 2TB. Consolidate your data storage needs onto a smaller number of very large drives, partitioned as needed. This will make your setup more reliable (smaller number drives), and save reduce power consumption. If any of your current externals are SATA, you can probably replace the existing drive with an extra large one.
    So, I think you setup should be, extra large FireWire 800 drive connected to the FireWire 800 port directly. Using a 9-pin to 6-pin cable, connect the FireWire 400 hub. Connect any non-storage FireWire 400 devices there. Do some data transfer testing to make sure having the 400 hub there on the chain does not cause the 800 connection to slow down.
    Connect other drives as needed using USB 2.0, existing or new. Retire the smaller of your external drives.

  • My iPhone calendar and iCloud sync only one way

    My iPhone 4 (iOS 5) calendar and iCloud sync only one way -- from iCloud to the phone. Any ideas why I can't sync from my iPhone calendar to iCloud?

    When you add an event on Iphone, 3rd fields down from bottom, select calender > iCloud. Voila!!
    I am not sure everybody understand really the intention with iCloud. It is one single calender residing on a Apple server somewhere. Selecting iCloud from any device will show this calender. Then how to sync this with other calenders is to me a mystery, or not possible, especially on Lion iCal. Please anyone.

  • How do I get the correct ICloud account on my iOS devices?

    Hello. A few days ago, I changed my Apple ID username from my old email to my new one. Everything worked fine and I was able to re-login to the App Store, iMessage, etc. A few days later, I got a message from iCloud asking me to login. When I tried to login it failed and I realized that it was using my old Apple ID email to login to iCloud. So I went into accounts and tried to delete that account and add the account with the correct Apple ID. When I tried to delete the account it asked for my iCloud password to confirm, which doesn't work because it is using my old Apple ID. I then tried to add my current iCloud account without deleting the old one, but when I did it said it was already on the device. How do I get the correct ICloud account on my iOS devices?

    Log out of the old ID, then login using the new one with the correct pw.

  • Why won't my iMessage work with only one contact in my phone all my other iMessages send and they just got an iphone but all their iMessages are sending also. I've tried restarting my phone, deleting messages, contact, restarting network

    Hello Jesslb23,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more about troubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • HT204053 can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?

    can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?

    You can have only one iCloud "user configuration" per local user on the Mac. Who the local user belongs to doesn't mind. Since it's a local user it's not related with who actually uses it. So let's say you want to set up Photo streaming using your iCloud user, just configure iCloud (under System Preferences) the same way you did on your phone and you're done.
    But, beware: if you're only interested in synching photos, uncheck everything else when configuring iCloud on the Mac, otherwise you will merge, for example, your husband contacts, calendar and mail with those on your phone.
    If you want to avoid any problems you can easily create another local user on the Mac with your name, under System Preferences, System, Users & Groups. After you create the user, logoff. The Mac will ask if you want to disable autologin (since there's more than one user that can log in now), answer yes and you will be presented with a logon screen. Click on your account name, insert the password and configure iCloud to sync with your phone.

  • I want to synchronize 2 macbooks and 2 iphone4s with only one database

    I want to synchronize 2 macbooks and 2 iphone4s with only one itunes music database, kalender, contact and so on. I use only one itunes account. All devices shall have the same informations (for the iphones available).
    Do I have to bring all informations on an external harddisk?

    No, use the same AppleID/iCloud account on all 4 devices and it should bring all that into sync for the most part.

  • HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error  "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

    How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
    A couple of other items:
    1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
    2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
    I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

    The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device.  Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
    Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Nodes with Only One Lower-Level Node = Hide

    Hi everyone
    Have anyone present this situation:
    Iu2019ve a quey to report inventory aging. It has two hierarchies to show data. In Rows I have Major Markets and in Columns a date hierarchy to show aging Ex: from 0 to 8 months, 9+ and 13+. Of course here I have also value and volume.
    Query reports all values for all major markets fine. When I filter one major market, letu2019s say France also brings detailed figures but when I add any drill down in rows all values goes to cero (0).
    Te estrange is that if you swap drill down order with major markets or drill down by columns with the same characteristic figures come out again as usual.
    I know this sounds like a SAP note but I have not been able to find it either.
    Thanks a lot for your help, and of course points will be assignedu2026..
    Ps. Important, this happen when  option u201CNodes with Only One Lower-Level Node = Hideu201D (this is selected on purpose because there are some repeated nodes in major market hierarchy Ex. France u2013 France and if there is just one value under first node then means that only display of last one is necessary to avoid repeated values).

    Solution we found is to remove flag "Do not display leaves for inner-nodes in the query", directly on the hierarchy.
    Thanks
