Selective backup to icloud and mac

when I turn on icloud backup on my iphone it says I don't have enough storage - needs 5.2GB
of that 4.7gb is the camera roll.
I can be selective in what I backup, i can turn off backup of the camera roll (not to be confused with the photostream which doesn't count towards storage)
If I turn of the camera roll (or any other options) will the camera roll backup to my iMac while the rest backs up to the cloud?
Thanks
David

No idea. What is it that you actually want do?

  • Im new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experincing a hard drive crash out of the blue, I lost everything. I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I show backups for my iPhone and my daughter's iPod but my mac doesn't exist. How do I fix tho

    I'm new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experiencing a hard drive that went out of the blue, I lost everything. I wanted to use the icloud to back my documents up. I went into the iCloud under settings but it only shows my iPhone and daughter's iPod. How do I get my Mac to back up too? Is there something I need to use to have the documents back up?

    You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
    If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:

  • TS3297 Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine.  However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help pleas

    Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine.  However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help please?

    So it appears iCloud/iTunes Match isn't the issue - the error message would seem to be complaining about where the music is being downloaded to. So with this in mind:
    In iTunes select Preferences and select Advanced. The iTunes media folder should be set to /Users/<your account>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. <your account> would be whatever your user account is. If you see something else there I'd guessing it is a folder you don't have permission to write to.

  • Itunes lib show app, but won't install to iPhone I upgraded fro iphone4 to iphone5. i restored from backup in iCloud, and almost everything is there perfectly. there was one app on the phone, which i clicked on to finish the install, but it then disappear

    I upgraded fro iphone4 to iphone5. i restored from backup in iCloud, and almost everything is there perfectly. there was one app on the phone, which i clicked on to finish the install, but it then disappeared. in my iTunes, under library/apps, this app still shows there. how do i reinstall this app. it was a paid app, and i searched the app store, and apparently it is no longer there.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It appears to be fixed, he had multiple versions of iTunes installed (since he put his iTunes in a different folder) the iTunes icon launched the old iTunes, even though the new was installed. it's working now.

    Hi, i have my whatsapp backup in icloud and now i want to download it on my pc? how is it possible?

    You should be able to install it on your PC simply by installing it.  You should only need the serial number from your purchase to activate it.  If you didn't purchase it as an upgrade, then you should be able to install it as a full version anyways.

  • Simultaneously saving on iCloud and Mac?

    I would like to simutaneously save my PhD-thesis on my Mac as well as on iCloud and keep both documents in sync.
    Reason: iCloud would be a good back-up and allows multiple access (for sudden ideas if my MBP is not at hand) while I also need to work on my Mac quite often without internet access. Furthermore, I wouldn't want my thesis to be only saved in the cloud.
    Am I too cautious or even paranoid? Could I shift my precious document entirely to the cloud?

    Use iCloud, the document is also stored on your Mac at user>library>mobile documents and is backed up by Time Machine.
    Do not use iCloud as a replacement for Time Machine, it is not a backup system!

  • Online backup for Windows and Mac

    Is there an online backup service that works with Windows and Mac and lets you use the same login? Meaning, one service, one service to pay and same login? Also, the service shouldn't bill by each desktop (as Mozy does) but instead by overall space needed.
    I currently use one service for Windows and another for Mac. I'd like to consolidate everything.

    That's always the risk, it's what happened to MediaMax (though in their case it was technical incompetence). They've been around for at least a year, but I can't offer any guarantees, obviously.
    the MobileMe idisk might be a possible solution but it's not brilliant with Windows.

  • Synch iphone with icloud and mac?

    I am having problems with trying to find instruction on how to achieve synch for my contacts using  iCloud, iphone and Mac.
    Is there any information available on this?
    If so, where??
    Appreciate your help and advice.

    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book).
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Why do I show both the iCloud and .mac  mail accounts on my phone

    I have an icloud account and both the .mac and icloud mail account show up on my iphone.  Is this necessary?  If I disable mail on the icloud page of my phone, will the mail be accessable in icloud but not show as a seperate account on my phone?

    You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone.  If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so.  Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
    In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

  • Data Backup 2.1 and Mac Memory Management?

    I'm trialing a backup program called Data Backup 2.1. It keeps versions of my programs, which I need, as often I've had corruptions and have not notice this till a few days after the fact. I've been using Retrospect but read a review that praised Data Backup. The thing I've noticed with it is that although it is very fast, like SuperDuper, it seems to affect my free memory dramatically. I've noticed that it will finish and instead of having say 250 megs of Active memory in use I'll have 700 megs of active memory. Inactive will be low whereas normally its high. Free memory during its backup can drop to 20 megs (I have 1.5 gigs). The free memory, once you start to use your computer seems to recover to around 500 - 700 megs. The one thing I have noticed of concern is that while its running I get pageouts, which I never get and my reading about Mac memory management is you want to avoid pageouts and if you get them you need more memory (for what I'm doing 1.5 gigs should be plenty). I've asked the Data Backup people what's going on and they don't think its something to be concerned about but they said it is probably something to do with the way they are caching.
    I'm just wondering - do you think this is something to be concerned about. I'd like to switch from Retrospect as although I know it I'm not sure how committed they are to the Mac market any longer and it is way slower in terms of activities but it does manage memory well. However I don't want to get Data Backup if it is affecting RAM inappropriately.

    Synchronize! Pro X will maintain versioned archives, perform full, incremental, and bootable backups both to local and to network devices. I have found that SPX is just about as full-featured as Retrospect with certain limitations. It cannot backup across multiple media (CDs, DVDs, tape), no extensive browser windows like Retrospect, no backups without scanning (as SuperDuper does for its "fast" updating backup.
    SPX supports schedules, multiple-item backups (can select individual files and/or folders), extensive backup/synchronize customizations, can run as "root", can auto-mount devices (including network drives), and it's a universal binary.
    It's also nearly as expensive as Retrospect but in my opinion it's worth it.
    If you want a less costly backup solution without all the features of SPX, but with all the features of SuperDuper (and in my opinion better than SD) then try Deja Vu. Also a universal binary, it supports incremental archives, full, incremental, and bootable backups to local or network drives, supports scheduling and runs as a preference pane.
    Finally, for the the truly cheap there are PsyncX and RsyncX - both freeware. They are GUI wrappers around the basic backup and synchronizing tools that are part of Unix (ditto, rsync, and psync.)
    Download mentioned software from www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.
