Specific Photos for Screensaver now with iCloud?

I used to be able to access specific sets of photos, from my MobileMe gallery, for the screensaver on my Apple TV (3).
Just made the transition to iCloud, and though the MobileMe galleries are still there, they go away at the end of the month.
Is there ANY way to replace this specific functionality once MobileMe (and the photo galleries uploaded from iPhoto) goes away?
THANKS.

OH oh oh oh OH! Ok ... NOW I get it. I had never really seen the option to do it from a local computer.
THANKS !! (Whew!)

How do I use my own photos for screensaver in Mountain Lion

How do I use my own photos for screensaver in Mountain Lion. I cannot see how to use my photos. It seems that the screensaver is set with factory settings. There appears to be no alternative.

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.

Is there a set up tutorial for using Outlook with iCloud

I am using Outlook on my PC (windows 7 and Outlook 2010)
1. Is there a set up tutorial for using Outlook with iCloud?
2. Please clarify, I don't need to set up a XXX@me email account to get iCloud to sync with Outlook, correct?
3. My emails appear to by syncing, but the Outlook Calendar does not sync its Pre-Cloud entries with my Iphone and IPad. Is this what is to e expected?
4. If I put a calendar entry on my PC's Outlook Calendar, it should sync with my Iphone and Ipad correct? Again, what about entries that were made in Outlook before I signed up for iCloud?
I am hoping there is a simple step by step tutorial somewhere, because I am pretty disappointed with Apple about how confusing this is all becoming.

Hello:
Sorry I can't bring you a solution but I am surprised your mail is working. Many of us with outlook 2010 seem to be having trouble sending. It seems apple's Pxx-smpt.mail.me.com server is rejecting the loging. I have tried it on three PC's with Win7 and Outlook 2010. It simply does not work after installing from the iCloud control panel. I have also manually configured the servers, encryption method, etc to no avail.
On the positive side, Calenda and contacts does work. First time around, the claendar duplictaed everything but I manually cleans it out. The iCloud calendar is a seperate calendar in Outlook. It seems to perform a sync with your local calendar one time. From them on, I beleive you need to use the iCloud calendar to have the same appointments show on each device. I renamed the defaut iClouds calendar to "iCloud Calendar". It's definatelly confusing and not seamless. It would be nicer to sync your OL calendar permenantly so you don;t see two or more.
Let me know your settings for iCloud email on Outlook. Try sending an email from the @me.com account.
Thanks,
Kevin

I had asked for some help with ICloud 3 weeks ago but no one answered, cloud has my old email and will not let me sign in my Iphone has not backed up in 9 weeks probably same for my iMac cannot even et to my photos. HELP please Sandie P

Had asked for help with iCloud 3 weeks ago. Cloud has my old email and I no longer know the password, wont't let me sign in with new email. When I talked with apple cust service they assured me that everything associated with apple would change over. NO it did not! Cannot find how to get cloud to change this. My Iphone says I have not backed up in 9 weeks because of iCloud. Can anyone help me or give me some advise please
Thank you so very much

Same thing happened to me. My son's iPod touch suddenly started indicating that my "username or PW had changed" or was "incorrect" so I paid Apple $30 to find out that all that was required was updating the software by plugging his iPod into my computer & syncing with iTunes. My problem was then solved.

Why Won't Reminders for iOS Sync with iCloud?

I've been forced to use iCloud for Reminders now that I've upgraded to Mac OS X Mountain Lion. Because Reminders & Calendar share a checkbox on Mountain Lion, I've been forced to use iCloud for that, too, because once that checkbox is checked, Calendar refuses to sync with my phone via iTunes.
Now, the sole reason I've done this is to sync Reminders between my iPhone 4 and my iMac, but no matter what I try, after the initial sync when iCloud is set up, changes to my Reminders (additions, edits, etc.) refuse to make it to iCloud. I know because I've added and changed numerous reminders in the last few days, and none of those changes show up on iCloud.com. So this is an issue between iOS and iCloud's servers.
This has been going on since I upgraded OS X and enabled iCloud last weekend, and the only time I've managed to resolve it was by doing this:
1. Backing up all my Calendar & Reminders data
2. Turning off iCloud for Calendar and Reminders on both my iPhone and iMac (making certain to preserve the Reminders stored on my iPhone, which had the most recent changes)
3. Deleting all the Reminders shown on iCloud.com
4. Turning iCloud back on for both devices.
I'm not sure if all these steps were necessary (especially deleting the Reminders from iCloud.com), but the even if the other 3 steps are, it is unacceptable to me (and anyone with half a brain) to need to turn iCloud off and back on every time I want a backup of my iPhone's Reminders on a different device (in case I lose the iPhone or it is destroyed).
In case anyone was wondering, I've already tried all the troubleshooting steps at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4000. I'm running the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion with all applicable updates, and my iPhone is running the latest version of iOS 6 (6.1.3) that Apple will allow me to have. Yes, that means I haven't patched the SSL bug, but I'm rarely away from home, and when I am, I am rarely somewhere with accessible (not locked) wi-fi. In addition, my home network is secured and running good encryption, so I'm not worried. I just turn my wi-fi off when away from home.
Oh, and upgrading to iOS 7 is out of the question at this point in time, because I don't like it (especially the look and the combined Address/Search bar in Safari, among other things) and I'm concerned about battery life/performance. Also, I've seen a class-action lawsuit going around right now regarding the fact that iOS 7 can potentially fry the Broadcomm wireless chip in older iPhones (i.e. mine).
So, with all this info in mind, can someone help me?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check that all your contacts are in your primary iCloud group, only contacts in this group will sync with your primary iCloud account.
In the example above I have a secondary iCloud account, but you might also see a 'On My Phone' group.

Photos app not syncing with icloud

Hi all,
After updating to the new photos app my photo library doesn't seem to be syncing properly with icloud. My ipad and iphone update ok to show the recent photos I've taken on either device, when I view the photos from the other device, then when I log into iCloud all the new photos are also stored there.
However, when I open the Photos app on my mackbook the new photos aren't visible. Any thoughts or ideas on how to resolve this?
Many thanks

Have you checked your iCloud settings on your Mac or PC. And if you are using a Mac, have you also activated Photo Stream for iPhoto or Aperture?

Transferring and Deleting photos from iOs Devices with iCloud Photo Library

So when there was iPhoto for iOs, it was easy to transfer the folders that I made on my iOs device and then delete those photos using iPhoto for iOs. Now it doesn't seem that easy (when you have a ton of photos on the device.) So has anyone found an easy way to transfer all the photos from a folder and then delete all those photos off of the device once they are transferred?

Regardless about what else is going on here or the questions you have -- the absolute first thing to know is that if you choose to use "iCloud Photo Library" then you are a "beta tester" who is using a beta service ... namely one that is NOT RELEASED as final or stable. In other words, you cannot depend on it working or keeping your photos.
THEN the other thing you should realize is that if you use this beta service, then you have turned off your "iCloud Backup" for all yours photos. In other words iCloud will NO LONGER back up your photos.
All in all the above means that BEFORE you even attempt to use iCloud Photo Library, you better have all your photos backed up to an alternate and outside service or facility (apart from Apple) ... because that will be the only effective backup you will have for your photos.
You might look into Dropbox as that works well for me.

Microsoft Office 2007 for Windows: Problems with iCloud

I thought I'd share on this topic, which caused me a lot of grief before it was finally resolved. I'm running MS Office 2007 on my PC, under Vista.
Office kept crashing on going to File:Open or Save As - after downloading iCloud Control Panel. I tried uninstalling iCloud and iTunes, without benefit. I also checked for malware, ran Office Repair, re-installed Office etc etc. Finally I re-installed iTunes and iCloud Control Panel, and ran iCloud Control Panel, which I hadn't done the first time. I allowed it to integrate with just about everything, and after that Office was fine! There is now an iCloud icon at the bottom right of the screen, and a Photostream icon in the Office File Open/Save window. Outlook also has an iCloud section in the Toolbar. I had to run iCloud Control Panel for each logon user on my computer.
It appears that simply installing iCloud caused it to do something to Office, but this was incomplete and required that the program needed to be run in order to complete the process. May I suggest that Apple programmers take note?
Nick

Since posting the above, I found that the problem recurred. In desperation I purchased MS Office 2010, assuming it would cope with iCloud. Initially it was fine, but then the same thing happened! I signed out of iCloud, then signed back in and de-selected Outlook, Photostream and Bookmarks. This seems to have fixed the problem for now, but there does seem to be a problem with iCloud and Office.

How to delete photo albums previously synchronized with iCloud

I previously set my iPhone to enable photo streaming. I also set iTunes to backup to iCloud. After a while, I decided to revert to back up and sychronize with my PC. I also disabled photo streaming. Prior to this change, my photo albums got uploaded to iCloud including a particular album which I subsequently deleted from my PC photo folders. When I tried to synchronize through iTunes, the album will not get removed in my iPhone, even if it is no longer in my PC photo folder. I assumed it got stuck in the iCloud but I have already disabled photo streaming and this was supposed to delete all photos in iCloud.
I tried all sorts of suggestions, but short of restoring, which I find such a ridiculous solution because it would delete all my data and all I wanted was to delete this one empty folder. Eventually I stumbled upon a simple yet effective one. Here's what I did:
1. Connected the iPhone to my PC which fired up iTunes (I set this as my default).
2. Clicked on my iPhone under Devices.
3. Under Summary, selected Backup to this Computer. [This is to make sure I have a most recent backup of my iPhone files]
4. Clicked Sync button.
5. Clicked Photos tab (rightmost tab)
6. Unchecked Sync Photos From box. [This will delete all photos in the iPhone]
7. Clicked Sync button again.
8. When sychronization finished, ejected the iPhone from iTunes by clicking on the eject icon to the right of your iPhone's name.
9. Went to Photos in the iPhone. Only Camera Roll and the empty Album appeared. I clicked on Edit and a red (do not enter sign) icon appeared to the left of the empty Album name. Tapped that and proceeded to delete the album. No more albums would be displayed. [Note: The red icon did not show up previously when there were other albums listed.]
10. Reconnected my iPhone to PC, starting up iTunes.
11. Went to Photos tab.
12. Checked Sync Photos From box again. [This will restore all your selected photos/albums to the iPhone]
13. Clicked Sync button again.
14. When synchronization finished, ejected the iPhone from iTunes.
15. Checked the Photos album. The empty folder is no longer there!
Hope this helps others with a similar issue.

If these are albums that were synced from your computer via iTunes then you can only delete them by unselecting them on the Photos tab when your iPad is connected to your computer's iTunes and then syncing, they can't be deleted directly on the iPad.
If these are albums that you have created directly on the iPad in the Photos app via the Edit button, then you can delete them by tapping the Edit button and then tapping the 'x' that appears on the top left corner of the album

My mac pro is not a duo processor so i cannot upgrade to LION and that means now with icloud i cannot receive email unless i go directly to icloud website to get it. i cannot afford to buy a new laptop, does that mean i will always have this inconvenienc

Do I have to buy a new duo processor lap top to continue getting my email using my mac.com address? Do i have to give up my mac.com email address and go to another provider?

It's the System which counts rather than the hardware. Your signature says you have 10.6.8. You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard - when asked to confirm that you have Lion on your Mac, just lie and say 'yes'.
If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it. You may find the MobileMe email settings will continue to work for a time after migrating but it will stop eventually so you should not rely on this. You should delete your MobileMe email account from Mail.
You can then set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:

You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, and there is a convoluted hack which has been reported as working for Address Book (and as not working by others - I've not tried it), but iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
There are a couple of third-party solutions which may be of interest.
BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99.
Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
(I have no connection with either firm.)

I have had a iphone for a while with icloud and photo stream for my photos now i just put i cloud on my windows 8 now what?

I have had icloud on my iphone 4 for a while have all my photos in photo stream i just now have windows 8 on my new laptop set up icloud and now i have no idea how to transfer my photo stream photos to my laptop or itunes all with same account

You have encounter Activation Lock, the antitheft feature of the iPhone. The previous owner did not remove the phone from their account. The phone cannot be used until they do. Return to the store and let them sort this out. It is very unusual for someone to "forget" to disable activation lock, as it is necessary to do so to erase personal information on the phone. So it is quite likely you bought a stolen phone.

Photos for screensaver not syncing

I'm having a rather odd and disturbing problem with ATV2. We use an album of our best photos as the screensaver. We like to add in new shots to the library. The total count now is just over 500. In adding some photos recently I discovered the only to get ATV to display the new photos is after adding them to the iPhoto album, quit iPhoto, quit iTunes on the computer used as the sync source, pont the ATV screensaver at a completely different source like the built in flower photos, then start iTunes on the sync source computer, point the ATV screensaver to the album we use, and wait for ATV to update.
That all usually works. But today after updating we got several photos in the screensaver that aren't in the album, or even in the iPhoto library at all! They exist on a different computer that's not involved at all. This parents a piroblem: there are photos in our various libraries that we definitely don't want on our ATV screensaver. So how did this happen and how do we prevent it from happening again?
BTW, with the screensaver showing those rogue photos, I looked at the album using ATV to display the photos directly (not the screensaver), those rogues were definitely NOT in the album!
Thanks, all.

Today I left the Photos app open for a while and noticed that it was putting significant load on my CPU when left untouched so I assumed that it was doing some sort of cataloguing. I left it for a while then did another iTunes sync and found that most, but not all, of the missing photos are now transferring successfully.
I am going to leave the Photos app open a bit longer tonight to hopefully complete whatever process it is running, and then with any luck iTunes might pick up everything else that is still missing.
