TS4403 I am interested in using the ICloud as a storage for my pics and music on my laptop, but I wanted to know if it will work before I pay.  Can I do that or do I have to get a different kind of storage

Is Icloud a good solution for back up storage for a Windows Vista Lap top?

No, iCloud is not for the storage of data from your computer. It is for the storage of data from your iDevices.

  • Hi everybody, i am planning to buy the iphone 4S contract-free, but i need to know if it will work in Qatar, how can i make sure?

    hi
    i am planning to buy an iPhone 4S contract-free, (the one will be released in november) but i want to make sure that it will work in Qatar.
    how can i make sure of that.
    thank you

    The iPhone 4s is a multi carrier 'world' phone, it works on CDMA and GSM based networks.
    Check out what system the carriers in Qatar operate on and check the technical specs of the iPhone 4s.
    The chances are the iPhone 4s will work fine on their network.
    You will need to make sure the carriers in Qatar offer Micro SIM cards to use  in the iPhone 4s. If the carriers don't offer Micro SIM, you will not be able to use the iPhone 4s with a standard SIM (without a bit of SIM card surgery).
    Hope this helps

    I bought an Airport Express from a supplier who told me I'd need at least iOS 5.4 on my iPad.  My first generation iPad is apparently up to date but the iOS is only 5.1.1.  Before I unpack the device I want to know whether it will work with this earlier version.

    Apple says that a minimum of iOS 5.0 is required. See the support document below. Look for Requirements on the left hand side of the page about half way down.
    Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later.

  • Supposedly you can play or download songs using the icloud download button, a cloud icon with a downward arrow inside. But nothing happens when I click or double click on it.

    supposedly you can download or play songs using the icloud download button, a cloud icon with a downward arrow inside. But nothing happens when I click or double click on it.

    You have to have music in your iCloud account to do that...when you open the Music app on your iPad, for example, you can access all music from iCloud that you have already placed in the iCloud or associated with iCloud.  That is not for downloading music you have not already purchased or downloaded.

  • When attempting to set up iCloud on my iMac I receive the following error message 'To use the "iCloud" preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen'. I have tried quitting, re-booting etc but still receive this message. Any ideas?

    This is a shot in the dark, but try this:
    log-in to your iCloud account with your Apple ID
    change your password
    ensure your billing information is up-to-date
    attempt to re-enable your Keychain (again)

  • "Using the Filter HUD to Search for Referenced Files" (and "Locate Referenced Files")

    I am trying to follow the Help Documentation item "Using the Filter HUD to Search for Referenced Master" (not sure if there is a way to post a URL to this) and I am not seeing what it is telling me to do.
    I am going to Edit > Find and it is telling me to "Click the Filter HUD button beside the search field in the Browser". Is this referring to a browser in the Aperture UI or is this in the Filter HUD display? I am not finding this.
    Also, it saying that in the Filter HUD I should "choose File Status from the Add Filter pop-up menu, and select the 'File Status' checkbox." and I am not seeing this either. Does anyone know where this is at?
    Lastly, I see that there is a command called File > Locate Referenced Files and when I run this I get a "No Referenced Files in the /current/ selection. I have realized that I don't quite understand whether I am running this search for a specific Project and/or whether I have to make a specific selection in the left hand pane when I run a FILTER HUD or whether this automatically defaults to search the whole database. Does it matter what I have selected in the current Browser View when I run either of these commands?
    Thanks for any help in my getting this working better for me.

    1.  Just copy and paste the URL from the on-line User Manual.  Very helpful.  Are you on this page?
    2.  From the above-linked page:
    Show the Filter HUD by doing one of the following:
    Choose Edit > Find (or press Command-F).
    Click the Filter HUD button beside the search field in the Browser.
    The instructions specify ONE of the following.  Your question indicates to me that you are trying to do both.
    3.  The User Manual has used the wrong term here.  It should say "Choose 'File Status' from the 'Add RULE' pop-up menu."
    4.  The command -- like all commands? -- works on the currently selected Images.  On the same page in the User Manual it says:
    You can select a group of images in the Browser and Aperture can show a list of the referenced images within the selection, including information about where the masters are located. {Emphasis mine.}
    5.  The Aperture workspace is highly configurable.  I don't know what you mean by "the left-hand pane".  Of what?
    6.  Yes.  Of course it matters.  At some point in the 80's when the GUI became standard computers standardized on the "Noun→Verb" syntax:  Select object(s), select command(s).
    7.  Not sure what the second command to which your refer is.

  • I cant type and use the touchpad, I got this for causal gaming and I really need help.

    If im holding down ANY key the touchpad doesnt work, I have the touchpad on no delay so I can move it right after i stop holding a button, but i cant move and aim at the same time, please help!

    Hi there ,  Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I read your post on the HP Support Forums and wanted to answer your post. I understand that you cannot use the Touchpad and the key functions at the same time.  Here is a document on how to troubleshoot the mouse and Touchpad gestures. In the document, it shows you how to change the settings by clicking the settings icon to adjust the button actions on the Touchpad. Sometimes this is caused by an update that is needed. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that might need updating. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks

  • I haven"t used the data on my phone for 2 month and I'm still getting a big bill why?

    I didn't use the data for 2 month on my phone and I still have to pay a big bill. This is the third big bill I have to pay. I deleted all the apps and turned of data and I still have to pay a big bill over what I was paying    why?

        Berzie,
    I understand how a large bill can be unexpected and unwanted. Does the bill advise as to the reason the bill is higher? Does it say how much data you went over on your plan? What plan are you currently on?

  • TS4001 To use the "iCloud" preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen.

    And I reopen SP and the same message comes up.....please help

    Just got same problem.
    #1. There is no Box, under Label or anywher to uncheck or check.
    #2. The device I want to use does not have an update driver. What I really need if for the Box to check or uncheck which should be there according to Apple Help.
    #3. I tried this, resetting the whole computer's kernal extension by using a Terminal command (although I don't like doing that). It didn't work. sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture i386
    So I reset it to: sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64
    But emphasize, again, I don't like doing SUDO commands in Terminal.
    So...Anything else to try?
    Thanks for any info that might help.

  • Can I use the same external hard drive for time machine and storing other files

    I have a 640GB external hard drive that I have been using for over a year for time machine backups.  My mac hard drive is now starting to fill up and I am looking to move audio, video and picture files to my external hard drive.  How do I do this without messing up my time machine backups?  Can I do both on the same external hard drive?  Do I just make new folders on the external hard drive to move the files I want?  Thanks for the help.

    If you move the files you will need to get another disk to back the files up to. You don't want to have only one copy of certain files (personal, professional etc.).

    I dont know how to update my macbook pro the year is 2009, so that i have the app store and facetime on here can anyone help?

    You need 10.6.6 or later for the App Store. You need 10.6.8 or later for Mountain Lion. Make sure you have these other requirements for Mountain Lion so you can be sure to have Facetime support when you are ready to upgrade to Mountain Lion:
