TS3992 I have two computers. My iphone is sincronized in my laptop.. can I use just Icloud ion my desktop?

I have 2 computers. My yphone is registered on my laptop.I am thoinking retire my laptop soon.. For now  Can I use only Icloud on my desktop?

Icloud does not have restrictions on amount of computers. You can use it on your desktop or laptop or both. Sync with one computer's library comes in to play when you deal with licensed content sync, like music, movies, etc. Icloud only deals with personal info.(contacts, calendars, photos).
there is another part that for marketing services Apple sells as icloud - itunes in the cloud. Feature that allows you to download your purchses at itunes/app store from any devices. That one is restricted to 5 computers.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • If I have a list of Vimeo videos on a webpage, how can I use just one video frame and have all videos play in that one frame?

    I am creating a page with a list of Vimeo video links. I want to have only one video frame on the page. So no matter which video link a user clicks on, the chosen video needs to play in that one video frame on the page. How do I do this in Muse?
    Thanks.

    You can use composition widget for this. Insert the video details in trigger container and then insert that corresponding vimeo video widget in that specific target container. So It would work like, users will click on different video buttons but the actual video will play on same frame which is actually a target container of composition.
    The ID that we use for vimeo widget cannot be used for different videos on same time , because every video shares its own ID and url. But you can surely try the above.
    Thanks,

  • I have two computers and one iphone, one computer and the iphone are synchonized but how can I copy the contents to the second computer?

    I have two computers (1 PC and 1 iMac) and one iphone, the PC and the iphone are synchronized but I cannot copy or sync the contents to the iMac. How can I copy the contents? Can I connect the PC to the iMac so that I can use the PC as a hard-disk? Will that affect the system to work smoothly?
    Thanks

  • Why the **** can I only sync my phone with one itunes program. Perhaps I have two computers with music on them that i'd like to add to my iphone,ipad,itouch,ipod. Fix this please thanks.

    Why the **** can I only sync my phone with one itunes program. Perhaps I have two computers with different music on both of them that i'd like to add to my iphone,ipad,itouch,ipod. Fix this please thanks.

    Becasue that is the way the ****** iphone is designed.
    You can only sync with one ******computer.
    There is nothing to ****** fix.
    It is the ****** design of the iphone.  It is ****** by design.

  • HT202213 I have two computers with home sharing on, but I can't transfer music. What do I do?

    I have two computers with home sharing on, but I can't transfer music. What do I do?

    What do you mean by "won't pick up the songs"?
    You can only sync with one iTunes library. However, you can manage mauic and videos among different computer by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    You can transfer iTunes purchases to a computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

  • Two computers, one iphone, one calender, help

    I've tried reading through the support pages but am having a hard time figuring this one out. Any help would be great welcomed.
    I have two computers that I use on a daily basis. One stays at work, the other is at home. All depending on where I am I will enter info into ical on either of my computers or on my iphone. My computer at work is what my iphone is set to sync to but there are days when I'm not in the office and work from home.
    I don't have any music stored on my laptop at home and therefor am under the impression that if I attempt to sync my phone to it then the data will be deleted. I simply mainly need to mirror my calendars between the three devices. Syncing my iphone to my work computer works fine to keep the two in sync together but I do need a way to get the info back onto my computer at home.
    I tried .mac for about a month and it seemed to be the answer to my problem but I started having trouble with it a couple of weeks back. It would not sync my laptop and constantly came up with this message: "A failure occurred while synchronizing the .mac sync client". I tried sorting that out with Apples advice but to no avail. I've given up with the .mac and figured that there has to be another way.
    Any suggestions would be welcomed.
    Thanks

    No - IF you set it up right. Follow these steps:
    1. Select "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones" under Edit / Preferences / iPhone in the iTunes menu.
    2. Uncheck "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" in the Summary tab of iTunes.
    3. Check "Only sync checked items" in the same tab.
    4. On the computer you want to sync contacts and calendar, check the corresponding boxes in the Info tab. UNCHECK everything else in the MUSIC, PHOTOS, PODCASTS and VIDEO tabs.
    5. Sync your iPhone with this computer FIRST.
    6. On your other computer, follow the same steps above (1, 2 and 3). Then, UNCHECK everything in the INFO tab, and check everything else on the other tabs.
    7. When you sync with this second computer, you may get a message that the iPhone has already been synced with another computer, and that the media library will be deleted. Fine. There should be NO media library on the iPhone since you unchecked all the media items on the first computer, right?
    8. Sync. Then you can sync on both computers and each will sync what is checked and not overwrite the rest.

  • Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

  • I have multiple computers and iPhones and now iTunes will not allow my wife to load applications or use her own iTunes playlists.  How can I setup each device for each user correctly?

    We have multiple computers and iPhone devices which I have passed on to other family members, such as my wife.  Now she is not able to load apps to her devices, eventhough it appear she is logged into her own iTunes account.  How can I setup iTunes correctly on each device?  Currently, there is one PC and one Mac laptop and we each have iPhones, with one other family member not able to use his 'passed-down' device for iTunes, also.

    Hello dal1820
    Check out the article below on how to use multiple devices with one computer. The main idea that I want to point out is to have different users for each person as it is the easy way to make sure that no issue happen when syncing.

  • I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive and then tried to transfer it to my iMac. My music skips like a scratched cd now and I can't add any to my iPhone. Help please!

    I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive right before my old mac laptop died and then tried to transfer it to my new iMac. Now when I try to play my old music it skips like a scratched cd. Also, now I can't add any music to my iPhone unless it was purchased recently through itunes and downloaded through icloud. I tried to "Organize" my library in hopes of correcting the problem but my iMac just ejects my external harddrive part way through. Please help!

    Ejects the harddrive?
    Of what did your old Mac die?
    It sounds to me like you have some file corruption somewhere.  Either in the transfer of your library to the external or the external itself is flaky if it keeps ejecting.

  • I tried to authorize a new computer with windows 8. Per iTunes Help,there should be an "authorize computer" section on the iTunes store menu. I only have two computers authorized so I know another one is possible. Suggestions?

    I tried to authorize a new computer with Windows 8 for my iTunes acct.  Per iTunes Help, there is an "authorize computer" prompt in the menu selection on iTunes store website. I can find no such listing.  I have two computers linked to my account so I know that adding another one would be ok.  Any suggestions?
