So confused with ICLOUD

i have the iphone 4S and i have installed icloud and backed my phone up. My question is how do you retrieve your photos to your laptop?? I liked the old way where itunes synced your pictures and it went to your pictures in your laptop... please help.... i just want to move my iphone pictures to my laptop in my picture album...

Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your phone until deleted. When you enabled photo stream on your computer you only received photos from the last 30 days. To transfer the older photos to your computer you can either import them with your usb cable as explained in the link posted by Ocean20, or create a shared photo stream the includes the photos and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).

TS4036 I'm just confused with icloud, it doesn't seem as user friendly as mobileme to back up.

I don't seem to understand icloud. Mobileme seemed to allow me to backup my disk in mass but this doesn't seem to work with icloud. I have two computers that I would like to "talk to one another" . My work computer is the main system but I would like most data backed up on my home computer so I can work from home. The only way I seem to be able to do this is to down on a memory stick and upload to my home computer. What am I missing?

Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. (not all these alternatives offer all the services previously provided by iDisk)

Totally confused with iCloud and multiple devices

Ok, So we have two each of the iPods, iPads and now iPhones. Do we all share the same iCloud? Can we share apps through the cloud? How do I switch my iPad to the new one I got to give this one to my son. I am so new to all this apple stuff. Only been a few months and I'm still really confused. What all goes to the iCloud? How do we see what's in the iCloud? I really the the idiots instructions I think to figure this all out? Can anyone help me? How can I print from the iPad? Everything I see says iOS 10 something? I believe I only have 6 something?

Do we all share the same iCloud?
icloud is designed so that only one user uses it to keep his/her devices in sync. When multiple users use the same icloud account, they will then be sharing the same email address, contacts, calendars, notes, etc. Usually that is not what two people want to do.
Can we share apps through the cloud?
You buy apps from the itunes store, that's different than icloud, and multiple users can use the same itunes account so that they can share apps, music, etc. For a family, everyone usually uses the same Apple ID for an itunes account and individual Apple IDs for their icloud accounts.
How do I switch my iPad to the new one I got to give this one to my son.
What do you mean by "switch.. ipad to the new one"?
What all goes to the iCloud?
Backups of iOS devices, Apple services that you turn on to share data (settings>icloud; on an iOS device), third party apps that use icloud to sync their data between devices, email, photo stream, and more.
How do we see what's in the iCloud?
Icloud is designed primarily for syncing data between the devices of the user - like getting all computers and devices to have the same contacts or calendars. When you set up syncing (settings>icloud, turn on the services you want synced between your devices), some of that data will also be available to a computer's browser when you log into icloud.com. Otherwise you view the data using the associated app, like the Calendar app to see events. Other things that may be on icloud, like backups cannot be seen. Also iCloud does not provide a photo gallary that others can view in a browser.
How can I print from the iPad?
For that you need an "airprint" compatible printer. See,
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
You can also print to a printer that's connected to a computer, but that computer needs special software, like Printopia for macs.
Everything I see says iOS 10 something? I believe I only have 6 something?
There is no "10", version 6 is the current one. You are probably thinking of OSX, whose versions are 10.x.y. That's for macs, not iOS devices.

I am so confused with icloud, please help!

I realise MobileMe is going, so to carry on syncing I need to get icloud, but am I right in thinking I need Lion?
I have 10.6.8 on my iMac at the minute, so what is the next step and how do I keep it the way it was beacuse everything was working just fine!
Although having said that since the update last night my iPhone doesn't want to sync with my ical! I don't suppose anyone can help with that? I suspect it's setting in the phone as ical syncs to iPhone just not the other way round?!
Please can any help, it's driving me potty!
Thanks in advance,

I think I mean syncing ical from my email between my mac and iphone. It's all through mobileme as far as i'm aware. Hence why Ive been going mad with all this icloud chat and the ios 5 update last night!
Thanks

HT201342 I'm still confuse with this iCloud mail. I have 2 device which is iPhone and iPad, why every time I receive a mail from my iPhone it doesn't show on my iPad? Can you maybe help me out here thank you

The iphone and ipad must be connected to the same icloud account. Are you by chance using different IDs to connect from each device?

Confused how iCloud works with Preview?

What is the point of saving PDFs in the iCloud with Preview if I cannot access those documents via my iOS devices or iCloud.com? Or can I?

To help others out there.. I too have not been able to figure out how to share iCloud Preview files across OSX and iOS devices. Based on this post and other research I do not think it is currently possible (even with paid icloud subscriptions).
But what you can do..with iCloud Preview is share files, across Mac's (OSX muntain lion or newer, laptops and desktops) and signed into icloud account on both Macs . Can even create sub folders for files and not limited to PDF files can also share JPG, DOC , XLS and other files .. ( This can be helpful since iMac's (pre 2009 tcan not use air drop)
Perhaps apple will put a preview App out at some point to enable more seemless sharing across devices similar to DropBox which can also appear as a folder icon on the sidebar in Finder window.
(FYI - I have up to date OSX (10.8.5 mountain lion ) and iOS7 (iPhone5) as well as paid icloud and itunes match subscriptions and even icloud beta pages/numbers/keynote. )

MBP will not register with iCloud servers (and most iCloud features + Handoff and Continuity do not work)

Hi all,
I have an extremely strange issue on my rMBP which has not been solved yet despite over 2 hours on the phone with Apple support, and another hour after being put through to a Senior Advisor, and several online chats.
I have a Apple Certified Refurbished Late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro, which has a 2.3Ghz i7, 16GB of RAM, 500 Flash Storage and the NVIDIA discrete graphics. It was purchased in December 2014 on the Apple Store. It is running 10.10.2.
For some reason, my computer WILL NOT register with iCloud. Messages and Facetime both would not work, my iPhone 4S which is capable of text message forwarding would not recognise it and allow me to turn it on. Handoff, Continuity and Instant Hotspot - basically any of the features to do with iCloud or connecting to another device - do not work.
Originally I believed it was just an issue with Messages and Facetime so I reinstalled the OS back to 10.10.1, but that did not solve the problem. All my Messages contacts kept on coming back as 'not registered with iMessage' and I could not turn on SMS Relay either.
I contacted Apple on Wednesday night and ended up talking to several different people, the Senior Advisor was the most helpful - really tried to help me figure out what was wrong, and to fix it - wonderful help, really was. They used screen sharing and were quite confused. They figured out as well that Handoff, Instant Hotspot, and all those other features don't work either. At this point, they made me update to 10.10.2 to see if it was an issue with the update, but to no avail.
Eventually, the SA checked my iCloud account and saw that the computer hadn't even connected to iCloud, and wasn't even showing up as one of my devices, despite the fact that I had signed into iCloud on this computer.
The SA told me that he suspected it must have been something to do with hardware, but didn't know what it could be. He said the only time he had seen this before was on a refurbished laptop when the serial number hadn't been put back on, but my serial number was there, so he said it must have been something to do with Bluetooth or Wifi.
Wireless seems to work completely fine, but there is a strange thing with Bluetooth in which within System report says that the computer is not discoverable or connectable, despite the fact that in the Menu Bar it says it is on and discoverable. It becomes discoverable and connectable once you toggle the switch in System Preferences.
I was planning to book a Genius Bar Appointment as suggested by the SA, but something strange happened today - all of a sudden, some (not all of them) of my iMessages from earlier today came through. Still no working Handoff or Facetime or Continuity, but now I am starting to wonder what is really wrong.
Despite the fact they said it was hardware (especially Bluetooth), what could explain why it (seldom) or will not register with iCloud? Can anybody shed some light on the situation and whether a Genius Bar appointment could help fix it?
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Needed to add some clarification here:
iCloud shows me as signed in, but Calendars are NOT checked
Internet Accounts shows Calendars as syncing

What is the best family email strategy with iCloud?

Hello,
What would be the best way to structure our family email setup?
Our goals are:
-to get the most functionality from icloud
-access email from desktops, laptops, and iOS devices with as much syncing as possible
-to allow each user to have control over what emails are deleted and such
-keep our old email address so we don't lose touch with others who contact infrequently
-I'd like to have different preferences than she does when it comes to junk mail filtering
-to change email addresses as little as possible, hopefully not at all
Here's the scenario:
She uses:MacBook, and an iPhone and wants the two synced together
I use: a different MacBook (older one,) iPhone, and iCloud.com and want the three synced
My Daughter uses a Nook to access only her email (not been a problem)
We have a family verizon.net email address. We want emails from that address to go to our devices but if one of us deletes an email we don't want the other to have it deleted. However, if I delete it on MY phone, I want it deleted on MY laptop. (synced by user)
We also have our individual iCloud email addresses. This is used for individual emails that go to one or the other of us but not both, and is synced between our devices but not across users.
Current Status:
I have verizon.net forwarding all emails to her icloud address (it can only forward to one) and then her icloud forwards it to mine.
Problem:
When I delete emails on my login (I think mine is the master account and hers is a secondary one) sometimes, perhaps all the time, they are deleted on her devices.
Also, she wants her return and sent from address to be the verizon.net address to not confuse people.
I hope this makes sense! If I could draw a picture it might be clearer.
So, what do you all think????
Thanks!

Unfortunately iCloud can't be used to manage your verizon email account, verizon email has it's own settings and is nothing to do with iCloud. However that being said it sounds like the verizon account may be an IMAP account and it sounds like you want a POP account. Have a word with Verizon to see if they offer this.

MacBook Pro won't sync with iCloud, although iPhone and iPad are fine.

My MacBook Pro keeps telling me it can't sync with iCloud because my password may be incorrect. I keep re-entering the correct password, but this keeps on happening. iCloud seems to be working fine with iPhone and iPad. Also, there are 2 iCloud accounts showing on my MacBook, but if I try to delete one, it seems to delete both.

Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

TS3376 I had my iphone set up to be tracked as registered with iCloud and it had been using it for a year one day it said no devices registered and stopped working why???

I had my iphone set up to be tracked as registered with iCloud and it had been using it for a year today it said no devices registered and stopped working even though i tracked the selected iphone 4 device an hour earlier why did it do this???

So basically the phone I was tracking was working an hour earlier it had no signal at times when it did pick up a signal it located it easily but an hour later the message came up no devices registered when my friend returned home I Checked the device I was tracking to make sure find my iphone was on but it was off and my friend didnt turn it off so my question is why did it turn itself off???
Confused?

How should I set up my pictures with iCloud?

I am so confused with Photo Stream and my pictures.
Basically before the iPhone, I had all my pictures all my computer.
Got the iPhone and synced it through iTunes. This made two folders in my iPhone under Albums. A PHOTO LIBRARY folder and a My Pictures folder, exactly the same pictures.
QUESTION 1- Why did it do this and how can I fix it? Is it really taking up double space on my phone.
Then I got into the PhotoStream thing. I enabled it on my phone and download the Control Panel. Stupid iCloud makes you have two different folders for Uploads and Downloads on your computer. So I did it, and its working fine.
QUESTION 2- Is there a way to just have ONE folder with pictures for PhotoStream? I like the idea of Photostream and wireless sharing.
QUESTION 3- Lastly, I had an issue with Uploads not working on PhotoStream, so I changed some permissions on the Upload and Download folder and uninstalled and reinstalled the Control Panel. Now the pictures that download onto my computer from my phone, have a LOCK symbol next to them and I can't edit them with any pic-editing program. It gives a "This photo can't be saved because there is a problem with the photo file's properties" .. What is going on?
I know I'm asking for a lot but please HELP!

Question 1: You have to have both folders. The reason is because the actual photos you synced to your phone from your computer are all in Photo Library. The My Pictures album only contains links to the pictures in Photo Library, not duplicate pictures. If you synced multiple folders to your phone they would all appear on your phone as separate albums, and Photo Library would contain the combined pictures from all these albums.
Question 2: No, you have to have a separat upload and download folder using Photo Stream with Windows.
Question 3: Sorry, don't know what's going on there. You might need to reinstall the iCloud control panel for Windows but I'm not sure.

I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please!

I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud. Any thoughts?

There are two aspects to iCloud. One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud. The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
First to get an iCloud account:
If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration). If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7). Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address. You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account.

Now with iCloud mail, do I delete my Mac and Me Mail accounts on my devices?

My computer and Iphone had email accounts for Mac mail and Mobileme (I think they are duplicates when mac changed to me and I just left them).
Now with Icloud uploaded and configured for all my devices, it appears that both accounts are there but one appears never to be connected and they both quite often ask for my password in that pop up window. So my questions are.
1. Can I eliminate (delete) one from my Mac Laptops? Which one if the answer is yes.
2. On my Iphone: there is only an Icloud and Mac mail accounts (mobileme never came over). Should I keep both?
Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated as its a bit confusing as to how it all ties together.

iCloud uses your mac mail account. If you haven't already done so, here is the sequence to follow:
1. If you have a Mac, upgrade it to 10.7.2.
2. Upgrade any iDevices to 10.5
3. Go to iCloud.com and follow the process to transfer your mail account to iCloud.
It sounds like you've done most of that. The rejected password issue is due to the fact that iCloud is experiencing some intermittant growing pains problems. It kind of comes and goes. If you've managed to connect once, your solid. Just be a little patient as the iCloud mail service usually comes back fairly quickly.

Keeping music on iPhone with iCloud - how do i have library on phone?I

I am completely confused! Have bought new iPad and iPhone 4s..... Previously had 3G. Bought match and been uploading massive music library to iCloud. Is this a mistake given I live in area where there is lack of reception? Also, lots of tracks in iTunes show cloud as "waiting". Surely it will take me ages to download all these tracks? Is possible to have them on phone and iPad and iCloud without the download? If there are lots in waiting should I just switch iCloud off? I'm thinking that with iCloud on all the music is still on my hard drive so is there any easy way to add to my Idevices? Sorry, I have read a number of discussions and am none the wiser, help much appreciated!

Every time I create an account with iCloud then try to open it I get wrong ID or password. Even when I enter my birth date I am told it is incorrect. I have done this several times with the same results.
