Using iCloud, when I sync contacts it never matches my computer!

I use multiple address books and they never match my laptop!

Are all contacts and all groups available when accessing your iCloud online address book via webmail access using a browser?

When you connect the iPhone to sync with the new computer, a number of things will happen. If the new computer/iTunes does not contain any music, then yes, you will receive a prompt saying this iPhone is synced to another library, and if you continue, you will lose your music. However, you risk losing a number of other things, such as apps, contacts and calendar data. When you ask about photos, any photos that you have on the iPhone that were synced from the previous computer would also be lost. You need to save the photo folder from the old laptop and transfer that to the new desktop. You also need to sync the contacts and calendar to the same supported application that you were using in the past, such as Outlook, unless you are using an outside web-based sync, such as Google. Also, when you first connect the iPhone, it will make a backup, or at least make sure that it does before you attempt to sync, or you will not have a backup of some of the other things, such as mail settings, SMS, and the contents of the Camera Roll. I would import the photos from the camera roll to the new computer before trying to do anything else in iTunes.

HT4929 can I use iCloud to transfer (sync) between iPhone 4G (OS 5) and a MBP runnibg 10.6.8?

Can I use iCloud to transfer (sync) between iPhone 4G (OS 5) and a MBP runnibg 10.6.8?...or must I upgrade to 10.7? Most contacts are on my iPhone from my former WIN machine running Outlook.

iOS 5 is for your iPhone. 10.7.2 or later, Lion, is for the computer. You can upgrade by clicking on the App Store icon in the Dock or Applications folder. Sign in with your Apple ID and password. Locate the Lion installer application. Purchase and download - $30.00.

How can I delete the incorrect apple id?

I use iCloud to store my contacts but in Outlook it only sorts by first name. Although in iCloud it can be set to sort by last name, I cannot get it to do that in Outlook.

"you can't use Icloud when multiple versions of outlook is installed. As far as i know I only have 1 version installed. Any ideas

I have recently loaded Icloud and received the following message
"You can't use ICloud when multiple versions of Outlook are installed. To use ICloud with outlook uninstall one version" As far as I am aware I only have one version. Is there anyone who had a similar issue and if you did what is the solution?

You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

HT1349 How do I find where my multiple copies of Outlook are? (It said Multiple Outlook versions installed. You can't use iCloud when multiple versions of Outlook are installed. To use iCloud with outlook, uninstall one version.")

I have just started with iCloud, and run into a problem from my PC.
It says: "
Multiple Outlook versions installed.
You can't use iCloud when multiple versions of Outlook are
installed. To use iCloud with outlook, uninstall one version.
I have searched and found two versions of Outlook 2013 and 2015 (one of which was inactive, but I have removed it), and one of outlook.pst, which I have removed.
Where do I go from here?

That's a Windows/Office problem. You should ask in the Microsoft support forums.

Anything you purchased from the iTunes Store can be downloaded again, as often as necessary, as long as it still exists in the iTunes Store.

Can I use Icloud to outlook sync only for calendar and contacts (not tasks)?

I starting using Icloud Sync wiht outlok 2010 and like it - howeve rI only want to sync my Calendar and Contacts not Tasks - is that possible?

No. It's all or nothing.

Using iCloud (for calendar and contacts) AND MobileMe for Keychain

Does anyone who's migrated to iCloud know if it's possible to sync Address Book and Calendar through iCloud and the Keychain through MobileMe (on a separate account)?
Situation is as follows:
I have two accounts - one MobileMe (which I use today for calendar and contact syncing) and an Apple ID (which I used for iTunes)
I wish to convert the iTunes account to an iCloud account
That leaves me with my un-converted MobileMe which I'd like to continue to use for Keychain syncing until Apple puts that functionality in iCloud or they retire MobileMe.
I guess - the nub of the question is - is it still possible to access the MobileMe preference pane and put in a different account when iCloud is up and syncing?
Thanks in advance, Jonathan.

SaltSeaShark,
I've looked at the iDisk and there's no way to do it automatically. However when you're back at your home iMac, you can copy the files that you find in ~/Library/Keychains onto your iDisk. Then when you're at your friend's iMac, you can copy the *.keychain files in your iDisk to the ~/Library/Keychain folder on your friend's machine (in the account that you're using).
That way - you can open your keychain locally - although it won't sync backwards and forwards. An alternative is to use a third-party product such as 1Password - of which there's an iPad app - as well as a web interface (when combined with Dropbox).
Hope that helps - Jonathan.
