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)

HT4436 Apple invented this icloud thing they should make it user friendly too they should make it veru easy and straightforward to setup for now its not promise

i have both a windows vista in self assembled pc and mac OSX10.5.8 in white macbook pro and i ve tried it in both but each time i go it says an email address should be used as an account name and then in other pinstance it will say its not a valid Apple id. hey what is what guys i love everything Apple i used to start repairing Apple IIEs since in1994 using Apple DOS then mac plus mac os 6 or earlier then 9.x until 10 now i thought all apple products are really user friendly also i was expert in replacing broken lcds of 17" powerbooks overhaul broken color Apple Printers Aproducts are so lovely makes one fanatic but this icloud thingy frustrates me a lot really i'd be glad if Apple guys hunt me down hire and include me in their research and development team to improve their intangible products such as this web based service and any other projects i'm an untapped genius in some dimension mate lol (:

Untapped genius you say?
Your post is virtually incomprehensible due to irrelevant waffle, lack of punctuation, any form of grammar or a coherent technical question.
If you had read the support article you arrived here from, you would've seen that on a Mac you need OS X 10.7.5 or later and on a PC you need Windows 7 or 8 to use all iCloud features. So both your computers are way out of date.
You also need a valid AppleID. Go to http://appleid.apple.com/ and log in with the AppleID you're trying to use. If necessary, it should give you the option to update your AppleID to make it valid.

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).

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

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 do not want all of the playlists in iTunes to be synced to my iPhone. With iCloud I do not seem to have a choice. How do I select only certain playlists for my iPone?

I have many songs and playlists in my iTunes account. I do not want all of them synced to my iPhone 5S, but that has happened via iCloud, and it has caused a storage problem on my phone. How do I select only certain playlists to be synced to my iPhone?

You need to start over with Music. On the iPhone Music screen uncheck sync music. Also, on the Summary screen uncheck "Manually manage music and videos", then sync and it should clear off your phone.
Next, choose the music you want to sync. If you want to fit more on check "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". This will reduce quality slightly, but it won't be noticable unless you are using $300 headphones.

I have a problem with icloud photostream. It seemed to lock up some functions in Photos

After I downloaded icloud control panel and turned on photostream everything worked very well except that there were 599 photos loaded into a new file folder "My Photos"
Ever since then there is the little spinning circle on the screen. I also have lost several functions in Photos. I can not delete "My Photos" folder or anything in it
I have tried everything I can think of including a system reset.
I need some help with this one!
Thanks,
Bill

No one can or will help you
This is
Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
It is a very successful anti theft device
The only way to activate the iPhone is for the Owner whose Apple id is still on the iPhone to release it ,an easy task if you can find them
There is no other way Activation lock cannot be broken and Apple will not assist you

Screen saver with "music on" doesn't seem to work correctly for me. why?

I don't understand what is going on with the screen saver when I have it set to work when music is "on."
My photos will play just fine if I manually pick them to play (i.e. a slide show). But when music is playing, and the screen saver begins to activate after the apppropriate time, I either get some "jibberish" writing in the bottom left corner or I get a solid colored white or black screen.
I've double checked that I have my photos selected correctly. And this was working correctly months ago. I just don't understand what could be causing this now.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi, I have a similar problem. When playing music, the screensaver has stopped working. Instead all I get is a white screen. I have checked all the settings and they are ok. The photos show and the albums show will work. But as soon as I switch back to slideshow I get the white screen back. It is even like this in 'Preview'.
Have you solved the problem now. If so, how?
Anyone else affected? I took a new software update to the Apple TV two days ago. Could this be the problem?
all advice welcome
regards
Michael

Issues with WWV_FLOW_ITEM.MD5 - Doesn't seem to be Determinant

I have an Interactive Report in which I include a call to WWV_FLOW_ITEM.MD5 to get the current checksum based on the value of a couple of updatable columns.
SELECT CHECK_BOX,
       RISK_PAYCOLL_ID,
       ORG_ID,
       WWV_FLOW_ITEM.MD5( VM_AMOUNT, DESCRIPTION ) AS CHECKSUM
FROM MIDAY_PAY_COLLECT
I am subsequently attempting to determine which rows have been changed by recalculating the check sum, again with WWV_FLOW_ITEM.MD5 using the VM_AMOUNT and DESCRIPTION as input fields. My expectation would be that, if the values of these fields had not been changed (or had been changed and subsequently changed back to their original values), the check sums would match. However, in every row, those changed or unchanged, I get a new, different value when I call WWV_FLOW_ITEM.MD5.
What am I missing?
-Joe

Hello Joe,
Please use documented API's. See APEX_ITEM also please specify your APEX version.
As I know, all APIs in APEX_ITEM package return HTML to display item. So when comparing hidden item value, you need to recalculate check-sum using DBMS_CRYPTO or DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.MD5 depending on your version. And then you have to compare check-sum value from Hidden Item with new calculated checksum value.

Hari

Reformatting external HD with Disk Utility doesn't seem to work?

I've got two external hard disks - one Samsung 250GB and one 40GB which were previously formatted for and used with a PC.
I'm trying to erase them and reformat them for Mac, using the 'erase disk' option in Disk Utility, but each time I try, for each disk, it seems stuck at 'creating partition map'. After an hour or so, I give up. I'm reformatting as 'Mac OS Extended (journaled)', which I understand to be the correct option.
Can anyone help - is there something obvious I'm missing?
Thanks!

Instead of using the Erase tab, select the DRIVE (not the volume indent below) and go to the Partition tab.
In the Partition tab, select a Volume Scheme (change it from Current), even if you select +1 Partition+. Click on the Options button below the diagram. Select the appropriate Partition Map Scheme in the dialog box. For exclusive use with an Intel Mac, +GUID Partition Table+ is optimum. Click OK. Name the one or more partitions. The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click Apply.
Hopefully by repartitioning, the erase procedure will work.

Font-Update of Labels with UI-Manager doesn't seem to work. PLZ help.

Hi, i placed serveral JLabel's on a JFrame. (in many Jpanels)
in a Dialog I enabled the user to select Fonts, Styles and Sizes.
I used
UIManager.put("Label.font",selectedFonts[0]);
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(MainFrame);
MainFrame.repaint();to update the default-font.
This works fine for labels in a JDialog which is completly recreated after changing the font.
But for labels that are still visible and aren't recreated, this action seems to have no effect to the labels.
I stored the selected fonts and after a restart of the prog it look like it should, but I want to change it at runtime.
I tried to set the font-sizes by hand, which caused the programm to hang-up.
The same result was caused by using updateComponentTreeUI on partial UITree's.
Calling setVisible(false ); and setVisible(true ); don't work either.
Is there a way, to update the labels without removing and recreating??
Tanks a lot in advance for any help.
Urmech
PS.: Please excuse my bad english.

Hmm, I would have expected it to work exactly like you are doing it. Doing some experiments I found that the font is taken only on the very first change after startup. The only difference between the first and any following font settings (at least in my test setup) was that on start the type of the old font is a FontUIResource (as it is set by the UIDelegate on startup) whereas at the second it's a Font.
so, instead of
UIManager.put("Label.font", selectedFont[0])
doing a
UIManager.put("Label.font", new FontUIResource(selectedFont[0])
does the trick, though I don't understand it fully.
Greetings

Can Multiple email accounts on Galaxy S4 sync with iCloud & non-iCloud email?

Hello… has anyone successfully set up multiple email accounts (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T/etc.) on their Samsung Galaxy S4 Jelly Bean 4.2? I searched the forums and it has been said that configuration settings depend on the combination of wireless service provider + device model + email providers + Android version.
My S4 is from AT&T and if this scenario can't work, I have to cancel my contract in a few days (although that would be the last resort). From checking the forums, not everyone has been able to get the S4 to work with iCloud. In my case, I hope to sync up with iCloud and non-iCloud email which might be trickier.
Here is one thread that helps with settings, but doesn't seem to address multiple or non-iCloud accounts: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22435596#22435596
Some background info…
Although Gmail just works on Android devices, I plan to primarily use Apple/Yahoo/AT&T email (at least initially).
I don’t yet have Apple mail/iCloud, but plan to. I am partially switched to the Mac (Mtn Lion), but haven’t completed the jump from Windows.
I don’t have an iPhone (so hopefully that makes the setup less complicated.)
I mostly care about email on the S4 (I’m not concerned about syncing up contacts, calendar, music, etc.).
Apologies for the long post, but hopefully I’ve included the necessary background info for the questions below:
Is it possible to setup multiple (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T) emails on the Samsung Galaxy S4 from AT&T so that they sync nicely?
From the S4, if I reply to an email, will the Sender in the email reply be the same account which received the email? Or, (as I’ve read in the excerpt below) will the Sender for all email replies from the S4 be set from a fixed/primary account?
Although the first two questions above are the most urgent for now, I'd appreciate pointers if you see something that should be changed in the configuration settings below.
Thanks in advance!

A post for setup on a previous model/OS version https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3636567?start=0&tstart=0
After spending quite some time trying to get my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II setup with iCloud mail, this is what finally worked. Thanks to everyone for the various bits that helped lead me in the right direction. For those who need lots of detail, I hope the below helps. Please don't ask me about any other specific Android phones as I'm not expert but thought someone out there could benefit from my experience.
INCOMING SERVER SETTINGS
User Name: username (do not enter @me,com or @mac.com)
Password: (enter your password)
IMAP server: imap.mail.me.com
Security type: SSL
Port: 993
IMAP path prefix: p##- (you can find this by checking your account settings on your Mac. Mine was p03- so that's what I entered here)
Press NEXT
OUTGOING SERVER SETTINGS
SMTP server: smtp.mail.me.com
Security type: TLS
Port: 587
check the box next to "Require sign-in" if it's not already checked
User name: username (do not enter @me.com or @mac.com)
Password (enter your password)
Press NEXT
Your phone will check the server settings and you should be able to see your email now.
And another poster provided these additional tips…
Definitely select SSL/TLS and accept all certificates
Now here's the zinger: Authentication should be LOGIN
After figuring this out, I finally (after many hours of searching and testing) got to my outgoing server settings, which are: smtp.me.com
NONE for security type
Tic "Require Sign-in"
Authentication is PLAIN
And another poster's question about the Sender's email address for multiple accounts…
Managed to get this all set up however, Android only seems to allow you to send from your primary address and only reply from your primary address even if a mail was sent to one of the other addresses.
Any ideas how to get around this as I have three addresses beneath my primary which I need to both send from and reply from.

You're unlikely to find many people with experience of configuring multiple email accounts on a specific Samsung device, here on the Apple forum for an Apple service. Try the Samsung forums for help setting up your Samsung phone.
There are a few posts with general info relating to setting up an iCloud email account on Android here if you search though.

I restared my Iphone 4s and now my photos are just grey with JPG in it. How do i get my photos back?

I restared my Iphone 4s and now my photo's are gone. They are just grey with JPG in it.
How do i get my photo's back? And why are they grey?
Any help would be nice.
Thank you.

Restarting your phone doesn't cause it to grey out.
Were you restoring from an icloud backup? IF so, it does take awhile for pictures to download.

My iCloud Alias Doesn't Work With iMessage and Facetime

I created a new iCloud .me account that also has an alias. I don't want to use my main iCloud account. I tried using my iCloud alias, but iMessage and Facetime won't allow me to use them. Why can't I use my alias account? Is the main iCloud account the only one allowed?

Is everyone just confused about iCloud aliases? Nobody has an answer to this?

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