Recent software upgrades has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook and items entered on my iPhone are no longer uploaded to my macbook. I've tried to fix it and seem to have made things worse, my iPhone now has a long list of calanders that I don't want and can't delete and nothing is uploading to my macbook.

You need to look at Mac's iTunes, check  > System Preferences > iCloud.
If you use iCloud for Calendar, Contacts then turn off those items in iTunes, Info tab with your iPhone connected and selected.

Kernal Panic after failed 10.5.8 update. Think I have made things worse!

My daughter clicked the update button without thinking when notified of a 10.5.8 update. 2 hours later the Macbook Intel 12" was still spinning. She cancelled the update, waited for it to close down and went to bed. Next morning Kernal Panic. I have scanned the discussion pages and carried out all suggestions, reset PRAM, single user mode etc but to no effect.
Originally a second hand purchase about 2 years ago, we dont have the original Leopard installation discs nor some of the apps that came with it (CS3), but have plenty of Time Machine backups on an Iomega firewire drive.
So I used my 10.5 MacBook Pro discs and got the Disk Utility going. No disc faults and drive was SMART Verified. Hundreds of permission repairs and still Kernal Panic on restart. Using same discs I tried to Restore system from backup but drive not visible. Using Disk Utility I tried to restore using the manual option and it allowed me to drag the Backupdb file to the source drive. Being thorough I asked it to Erase and Restore.
After 15 min it had read the files, after another 14 it had verified them, then the message Operation Timed Out, could not complete. Now I have a completely wiped MacBook Drive and no way of restoring the data.
Have checked with local Apple dealer, Leopard 10.5 is no longer marketed and Snow Leopard 10.6 will not allow me to restore an earlier System. He suggested I bought a 2nd hand copy off ebay! This sounds like possibly adding to my problems.
Q1 : Can I use Snow Leopard to restore an earlier system from Time Machine on a wiped drive?
Q2 : Can I use a previously registered copy of Leopard legally if original machine scrapped.
Q3 : Could a third party repairer install a copy of 10.5.6 long enough for me to carry out a System Restore from the Time Machine backup.
Q4 : Have I completely wrecked this mac and should I start from scatch with Snow Leopard?
Any suggestions gratefully received. I am afraid to do anything else in case I make recovery even more difficult. Thanks in advance.

Had I read of your suggestion before I stupidly wiped the drive I would most certainly have given it a try. It would be my first action if i am ever in this situation again. As it is I have managed to find a resolution myself which i include here for any other folk unfortunate enought to find them selves in a similar position.
My frustration at this problem was made greater by being outbid at the last minute on a copy of Leopard on Ebay. I would never normally buy second hand software and find it incredible that Apple do not continue to sell the original product. If they dropped the price by 20% on recently updated system software they would still have plenty of customers, either in my position or 10.4 non intel users wanting to get up to date.
Anyway in a more considered moment I bought a copy of Snow Leopard on the basis that it is an upgrade to 10.5 not a complete rebuild. Sure enough after chosing the language I had the option of the Utilities menu and the Restore System From Backup option recognised the various Time Machine backups on the firewire drive. 1 hour later it was identical to the pre kernal panic episode.
Suffice to say Software Update had now been deactivated on all my Macs.

I cut and pasted a description from the Internet. It posted as a link in iPhoto. It seems to have made a global change--all my descriptions are now blue, underlined, and Times Roman 12 rather than Arial white. How can I get this back to the default?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

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......

I have tried much of the same - still no joy.
I also reported it as a bug to Apple although the response page said "we can't reply to messages"
For now I have had to turn off auto syncing and keep plugging and unplugging until the device is recognised correctly - about 1 in 10.
In my email to apple I also listed the contents of the xml file that keeps track of the devices that iTunes has seen:

You will see from the Use Count that these are adjacent connections, ie plugged in as ipad then as iphone. Apart from the device class, everything else is the same.

HT204053 I am running Windows 7 and have tried to install iCloud. No matter what instructions I follow, I still get the error message "This Apple ID is valed but is not an iCloud account." How can I resolved this?

I am running Windows 7 and have tried to install iCloud. No matter what instructions I follow, I still get the error message "This Apple ID is valed but is not an iCloud account." How can I resolved this?

I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
Thank you for any help you can give.

Move your cursor way over to the right side of the window. There should be a thin bar. when you hover over the left side of the thin bar, the cursor will change to a vertical bar with an arrow sticking out the left. Click and drag to the left.

Lock screen and keyboard sounds have quit working. The settings are correct and the device is not muted. What else can I do to get the sounds working again?

Four days ago the lock screen and keyboard sounds quit working, but was able to reset the settings. Two days ago I had to do this and turn off the device and then restart it to get the sounds back. Today they suddenly went out and I can't get them working again. The settings are correct and the device is not muted. My OS is up to date. What else can I do to get the sound back?
