Syncing game files with iCloud and restoring:

I was wondering if I back up my iPod touch with iCloud and restore, will I be able to continue in the games that I have on it without restarting at the beginning levels? I was going to restore it to get rid of the "Other" space being taken up. It is clear up to 2.9 GB!

Ok so I can do a complete restore and keep my place in all my games? Also, has it always been this way? Or did it only become this way when iCloud came out? When I have done a restore before iCloud was out, it did not keep my game progress and at the apple store they told me it wouldn't keep my game progress if I restored.

When I sync my iPod with iCloud and I delete pictures off of my iPod will I still be able to access them from iCloud?

When I sync my iPod with iCloud and I delete pictures or other data off of my iPod will I still be able to access them from iCloud?

- Syncing with iCloud does not move anything from the the iPod to iCloud. Some items like contacts, calendar and some app date gets synced to the cloud continuously.
- If you backup to iCloud it backs up the photos in your iPOd's Camera Roll album. If you delete some of those photos and then backup the previous backup gets overwritten with the changes and thus you can't get them back.
- You can get the last 30 days worth of phtos in the CamerRoll form your PhotoStream

I need help with iCloud and restoring

I have an app and in order to transfer the account of the app, it says: "If you still have your old device, please sync/back up your account to either iTunes or iCloud. Next, sync your new device with either iTunes or iCloud and restore data."
I have no idea what to do with iCloud. I have my old iPhone 5 and I would like to transfer my account to my iPhone 5c. I don't have an iTunes setup for either of these devices. I just recently backed up all my pictures and videos and data into iCloud on my iPhone 5c. I have two different iCloud accounts, one for my iPhone 5 and one for my iPhone 5c. If I were to sync my old device and restore the data onto my new device, will it restore ALL the data? Will it delete any data from my old device or my new device? Can i just restore the data for one app? If possible, how?
The thing is that I dont need or want any data from my old device or than the account/data from that one app onto my new iPhone 5c.
Also, my iPhone 5c has the latest iOS. But my iPhone 5 still doesn't even have iOS 7, will this affect anything? Should I update it to iOS 7.0.3?

Trying to sync address book with icloud and Yahoo???

I have my iPone, ipad, and macbook all synced with the cloud. all of my contacts are the same on each device. i am trying to sync icloud with my yahoo account. Is this possible? it drives me crazy when i create a new contact on my phone and it doesn't show on my yahoo mail. please help!!!!!

Enthusiast: I just got back from the Apple Store. This is the solution they suggested and seems to work. We got rid of iCloud contacts. We just set up Yahoo account in the "mail, contacts, calendars" of the iPhone. Under the "contacts" section we have the "default Account" set to Yahoo. When any additions/delete/mods happen then it is updated on Yahoo.
On the MacBook we deleted the "on My Computer" and deleted "iCloud" and then added the Yahoo account for synching. This is basically used as a secondary backup for the yahoo contact and used if using the computer. It is not necessary to use the computer for any of this.
I've been having lots of problems with Yahoo contacts. I had previously pulled in facebook contacts. This was NOT a good idea. I cleaned up my contacts, exported them out to CSV. Scrubbed some more. Imported them to a new yahoo account. Then deleted all contacts from my main Yahoo, permanently deleting them. Then imported my contacts. I did lose all my "lists" settings. That was a small price to pay.
Now iPhone, iPad and MacBook address book and Yahoo are all in sync.
I was shown at the store is to refresh the Yahoo webpage (CTRL R) and then refresh the contacts on the iPhone. There is a slight delay in update. iCloud is faster at it. But its best to avoid iCloud if you are using Yahoo contacts. Also avoid Facebook contacts. If you really want to use the Facebook feature, I would do it on a different account and then bring in the contacts that you want through an import.
I was having problems with Yahoo contacts and it might be that it was being flaky or they were experiencing problems ... because all of a sudden it started working again. I've seen similar problems with Yahoo Calendar.

I tried to sync Outlook 2011 with iCloud and it deleted all my calendar entries and now are only on iCloud and I cant figure out how to export them back to Outlook. Can anyone help me?

I signed up for iCloud today and tred to sync my Outlook 2011 calendar with it. At first, all the entries were completely deleted from Outlook but were still in iCal. Then I attempted to export my iCal events, turn off iCloud for calendars and import the iCal info to Outlook. But since it was only synced through iCloud nothing imported... now all my Outlook info is only on iCloud.. can anyone help me get it back on Outlook?

Hi Khuram1981 - thank you thank you thank you! All sorted! dont suppose you know how to fix another problem I have??? for weeks now, since updating to ios5 I think, for some reason every time I have tried to log onto app store it says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE. It's nothing to do with my computer, and I've been to the Geniius bar but they couldnt help and nothing I seem to do lets me update my Apps and even worse, I cant even buy any more. Any suggestions?
Again thank you SO much for helping with other problem = a real relief.

How do I sync iphone contacts with icloud AND gmail on PC without Outlook

I own an iphone and ipad and use a PC. I will eventually change the PC to a Mac but until then I would like to know that any new or edited contacts (on my iphone) are being backed up somwhere. I am using the icloud but my PC tells me I need Outlook. I don't want to buy Outlook (knowing that I will eventually move to MAC).
I paid extra storage for icloud thinking it was backing my photographs and contacts up but this isn't happening.
I currently have two copies of all my contacts (over 1000 of them) on my iphone and ipad and nothing showing on my PC. My google account (which I like to think of as my 'main' place to store contacts) isn't being updated with changes on my iphone
Please help

How can I stop syncing my outlook calendar with iCloud and not lose the existing calendar data in outlook? The calendar data which downloads to Outlook was also wiped off the Gmail calendar after the iCloud sync, how can I restore the data to Gmail?

same issue, looks like nobody answered you from last JULY....

I use a Win7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my calendar and contacts. I can enter data in my Outlook Calendar and it will appear in iCloud, but data entered in iCloud does not sync back to Outlook. ICloud syncs to my iphone fine both ways.

I use Win 7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my Contacts and Calendar. They have stopped syncing...mostly.
Now, appointments I enter on my local Outlook (iCloud) Calendar goes up to iCloud fine. But, data I enter on iCloud directly does not come down to my local Outlook iCloud Calendar. If I reboot the computer, the iCloud data shows up.
Also, Contacts I try to enter on my Outlook (iCloud) Contacts goes up to iCloud fine, but does not show up in my local iCloud Contacts.
All syncing works with my iPhone.
I have signed out of iCloud on PC. I have stopped syncing and re-started. No change.
I have an .aplzod folder for iCloud. I have a separate Earthlink.net.pst email account in Outlook and a me.com.pst Outlook email account (which I don't actually use) listed under Data Files.
Any help would be appreciated. Curious that Outlook will upload to iCloud but not receive downloads unless I reboot. However, rebooting does not download the missing Contacts.

Hi Jim!
You've started off with some good troubleshooting steps, so let's see if we can take this a little further and figure out what the issue is with your iCloud contacts and calendars. I have two articles here that will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further, but the troubleshooting steps for both articles are exactly the same, so I will lay those out for you here:
Note: When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual (right-click) menu has also been disabled.
If you are having trouble with a PC (with Outlook 2007 or 2010) and iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
Verify that you are using a Windows configuration that is supported by iCloud. For more information, see iCloud system requirements.
When enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel, part of the setup process is to copy your Calendars data from the default Outlook ".pst" file to iCloud, and then remove the Calendars from the ".pst" file by placing them in the Deleted Items folder in Outlook. The Calendars data is then stored in the iCloud data set within Outlook so that changes can be pushed to and from Outlook by iCloud. Be sure you are looking for your data within the iCloud dataset within Outlook after enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel. The deleted files can be seen by viewing Deleted Items within your Outlook Folder List. This is not iCloud removing your data; iCloud simply copies your data into the iCloud data set and then removes the local Calendars data by placing it in the Deleted Items folder.
Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for iCloud Calendar. This also tests if the ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud in order to push and pull updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel pane. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on Windows.
Completely close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not moving to your other devices or vice-versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
Close Outlook.
Open the Windows Control Panel:
In Windows 8, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
In Windows 7 and Vista, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks, and click Apply. Wait a few seconds, then replace the checkmark, and click Apply.
Open Outlook and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
Ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
Outlook 2010:
Open Outlook 2010.
Click the File menu.
Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active
Open Outlook 2007.
From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
Select Add-ins from the left column.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
For additional information about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook, see this Microsoft support document.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

IPad syncing with iCloud and Exchange = problems ?

Greetings,
I am using Apple products since 2 years ago. Everything started with an iPod Touch 64 and things grew to an iPhone4, iPad and now, an iPad 2.
I also have a Motorola Xoom (Honeycomb 3.2 based), a Samsung Galaxy S2 and a HTC Desire Z with Android 2.3.3.
All devices are configured to sync mails, calendar, contacts, notes and tasks with an Exchange Server. Until iOS5 and iCloud, there were no problems whatsoever. Contacts created on any device used to replicate to the others without a problem, although the iDevices (iOS based) never understood “categories”, a resource commonly used in an outlook environment to help sorting things out.
Last week, Ibought the iPad2. Updated it and configured it to use the same Exchange Server as the other devices. Also, I chose to use iCloud.
After that, I noticed that on a daily basis, contacts would appear without categories, first day, a few, around 5. Second day, 10 more. Third day, more 20. After the second day, I also noticed that the “display as” field (also known as “FiledAs”) was starting to show names with Last, First order. Here in Brazil we sort names as First Last. Of course, outlook, all android devices and also the iPad were all configured correctly (First, Last).
The problem was getting bigger every day. Yesterday, 900+ of my almost 2000 contact list were mixed up, missing their categories and also had their first and last names changed in the Filed As field.
After deleting, editing, restoring backups etc. more than once, I have finally found that the iCloud is probably the culprit.
Changed my iPad config to keep from syncing with iCloud and configured it to backup locally.
Deleted all accounts in all devices, deleted all data from contacts. Configured the accounts and left the devices syncing. Restored a backup. All devices synced and received the contacts.
Surprise: problem solved. So far, no missing categories, no inverted First, Last names. Maybe if anyone find himself in the same situation, it might help.

I have the same problem. My MacPro isn't on Lion, as I have lots of software that isn't compatible yet. But I have 10.7.2. on my MacBookPro and iOS5 on my iPhone and iPad.
I would like to go to iCloud for those devices that are capable to run it, but I do not want to loose sync services for my MacPro which is on 10.6.8. Will iCloud and MobileMe be in sync until 30.06.2012, so I can use them in parallel, or do I have to wait until all computers are updated to Lion?

I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS). Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one. But I want it to sync with my stuff. What can I do? I haven't been able to find help anywhere online... Thanks!

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

Got a new iPad and set up to sync with iCloud and now asking for password which I never set. How do I get on device if I don't know what it thinks password is?

Help. I just got a new iPad 2 and set up sync with iCloud and no password. Now asking for a password and I never set one up. What password does it want: iTunes, iPhone (no real password there either). Tried as many passwords as I could think with the iPad locking me out since I don't have the password! Would like to use the iPad but can't get on to try it.
Thanks.
Desparate

So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
Yes... sorry.
In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless > Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

TS4036 I bought about 6 paid songs and and then I restored my iPad because I forgot my restriction code, then I backed it up with iCloud and nothing happened. Please reply and find an answer to this problem because I do not want to buy it again

Please help me get my paid songs back. (I restored my iPad and backed up with iCloud and nothing happened. After that I looked at my music and nothing was there, I had six songs)

Syncing Addresses with iCloud and an older iPod Touch

I've got my iMac set up to sync Address Book with iCloud. I've also got a 2nd generation iPod Touch that cannot run iO5 so it cannot communicate with iCloud.
When I sync the iPod with the iMac if I don't turn off the "Sync Address Book Contacts" option in iTunes I get a bunch of duplicates on the iMac (and I've found that the "Look for Duplicates" command in Address Book doesn't find these duplicates). It looks like I can choose the "All iCloud" group in Address Book and that will not show the duplicates, but is there any other way to eliminate duplicates and still sync with an older iPod Touch?

Your iPod Touch cannot access iCloud so you can only use iTunes; and as you have found this results in your Mac bringing in the contacts from both iCloud and the iPod and you get duplicates. I'm afraid there isn't any way of stopping this as such, unless you can live without syncing to iCloud.
