What is cloud icon for?

Anyone know what the cloud icon in Safari 6 is for?  This is what I always see when I click it: http://d.pr/i/AJ3f.  I have an iPad and iPhone that I constantly use Safari with.  Their open tabs defnitely don't show up on Mac.  I have the latest iOS on both devices. 

Works with Apple desktops and notebooks, such MacBook Air and iMac. Mobile devices, such as iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, will have iCloud Tabs when iOS 6 is released (http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/#safari).

  • What are the icons that appear on the desktop when I download a program?

    OK, new to the Mac so please be gentle with me!
    I've downloaded some programs on my Macbook Pro.  The .dmg file appears and I click on it to install the program.  However, there is an icon placed on the desktop for the program, as well as it appearing on the launch bar.  What are these icons for, and can I delete them without affecting the program?
    Also, I'm trying to install HTC Sync for my phone but when I run the install, I get the message "HTC Sync Manager can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.  Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers."  How do I clear this and run the program?
    As I say, new to the Mac so be gentle with me.

    A tour of Mac basics might be a good idea.

    Am I supposed to have icon for iclouds?  If so I must of threw it away, what now?

    iPad 2, iOS 4.3.3
    You would have to update your iPad to iOS 5 in order to enable iCloud.
    Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices
    Once iCloud is setup you can access it from Settings > iCloud
    There's no icon for iCloud on the iPad.

  • HT1535 what does the cloud mean for my movies

    For my ipad, I have a few movies I want on it.  Most of my movies have a cloud in the corner and I do not want them on my ipad.  What does the cloud mean?

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store>Show All>Videos>Off. The movies with the cloud icon are movies in the cloud and they should disappear when you do what I posted.

  • HT201272 What does the " downloaded and lil cloud icon mean in my purchased history

    What does the downloaded saying and lil cloud icon mean in my purchased history ? Why I am asking is cause some of the ones that say downloaded are not on my cell.

    If you are looking in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app then 'downloaded' should mean that it is downloaded and on your phone (you've tried searching for them via the phone's spotlight search screen ?), the cloud symbol indicates that it is in the cloud and can be downloaded from there onto the phone

  • TS4124 What causes iTunes Match, on an iOS device, to lose the cloud icon next to each song?

    What causes iTunes Match, on an iOS device, to lose the cloud icon next to each song. On my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S one cloud shows up for a whole album to tap and download a whole album but the ones next to the songs are no longer there. No songs will delete from my phone once downloaded from the cloud by sliding my finger to the left over the song and tapping delete. Instead it just plays the song when I try to delete it. To delete my music from my device I have to go in to settings and delete all the music. This worked fine for the first week and then one day the cloud status next to each undownloaded song disappeared and started doing this.

    Try sync Music from iTune to your iPad again.

  • TS4124 I have the cloud icon next to music heading in iTunes, not individual songs, am I waiting for something???

    I have match, I have a cloud on my heading music in iTunes, I have no music on iPhone other than my past purchases and apps. Am I waiting for something to happen in iTunes with this cloud? I don't have clouds next to songs, I can't download anything even though match is on all devices. Please help.

    The small cloud icon to the right of your songs means the song is not stored on you devices drive, not that it was uploaded to iCloud.  You can listen to that song, but it's being streamed.  If you tap on the small cloud icon it should download the song onto your devices hard drive.  Once you do that the icon should not reappear again.

  • For the first time, I downloaded a podcast in the podcast app by clicking on the cloud icon. Now, every single play button for all of my podcast episodes is grayed out. Why can't I play any of my podcasts any more?

    For the first time, I downloaded a podcast in the podcast app by clicking on the cloud icon. Now, every single play button for all of my podcast episodes is grayed out. Why can't I play any of my podcasts any more?

    Greetings Heather,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with the Podcasts app. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

  • Icon for i cloud suddenly disappeared from mail ?  Not a problem but just concerned that the icon should disappear from the listing for the iCloud e mail account

    I had previosly set up a number of IMAP e mail account in addiiton under my .mac and .me account which is my personal account.
    On the mail home page it had the inbox listing thee accounts and further down the page its used to list the on line accounts set up under I cloud using the same name as the .mac or .me accounts, but also included the i cloud icon as does my ipad.  Logged onto day and the i cloud icon had dissappeared?  not sure why it is still functioning and I still have all my icloud accounts set up but the icon is no longer present.
    Maybe just a bit anal but it bugs me to know why this icon has suddenly dissappeared?

    Hello,
    Do you use these settings in Mail for your Gmail account (especially for the SMTP) ?
    If you use IMAP and all your emails are still stored on the server you can delete your account in Mail and recreate it with the settings mentionned above.
    Hope this will help.

  • What is the cloud do for us and does it cost extra?

    what is the cloud and what does it do for us? also does it cost extra?

    The cloud is a semi-generic term for online storage solutions.  This can range from something like dropbox that gives file storage to Google's cloud, which is used to sync various data points such as contacts, calendar, even music.  Most have a limit on their free amounts, with payment required for a larger limit.  In general, if you sign into your gmail account on your Android phone (required to use many of the free services, or to access the Play Store), there is no extra charge.

  • HT202159 Problem with Update on   It started, then the screen went white and the icons for the apps on the desktop were all blackened, 'waiting'.  What now?

    It showed a number of apps to be updated on my iPad, so I clicked 'update all' as usual.  It started, then the screen went white.  The icons for the apps on the desktop went black, as they do, with the first one half way around the little circle timer, and two marked 'waiting', with others not that far into the process.  They all stopped.  Now I can't stop the update process in the App Store, or use any of the apps.  What do I do next?  Help, please!

    Hello there, Rev Susi.
    From what I can gather you have a few apps that only display "Waiting". The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue, the answer may help you as well:
    App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
    Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
    Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

    What makes the color of the icon for my external hard drive change to the color of the icon for Time Machine?

    Perhaps when you first connected the drive you were asked if you wanted this to be used for TM.  If you clicked yes it remembers that.

  • On my new iPAD2, when I tap an icon for a long time it doesn't flick. What can I do for that?

    On my new iPAD2, when I tap an appls icon for a long time it doesn't flick. What con I do for that.

    Try this and see if it helps.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or....
    Quit all apps and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
