  • HT4707 what happens to Keychain data when I move to iCloud?

    what happens to Keychain data when I move to iCloud? Can I still access Keychain passwords?

    Thanks Carolyn,
    And yes. Keychain does still work.
    But why-oh-why do Apple have to give contradictory information yet again in the sign up process? It seems they just want to cover their arses so much that they would rather give out misleading information, that something might go wrong, just in case it does, than tell us everything will be OK & then if we lose data, we, (Americans with a penchant for litigation), are automatically going to sue thier bollocks off.
    This happens so many times with pop-up warnings. I'm running two macs & an iphone and I very nearly didn't go for Lion & icloud and seriously considered going back to Windows. Only a chance conversation in an Apple store stopped me and made me persevere through the warnings.
    Cheers,
    Steve

  • HT204085 I recently upgraded to maverick and now I have pop ups asking for keychain passwords. What is a keychain password?

  • HT4847 How can I see what's been uploaded to iCloud and delete any unwanted?

    I only have my contacts & photos automatically backed up to iCloud.  I've gotten a warning that I'm at the limit of my iCloud storage amount. I'd like to see what is stored on my iCloud account to see if there are any unwanted items I can delete, thus freeing up space before purchasing additional storage. Is this not possible?

    You can't remove specific files from a backup. You can delete the entire backup.  Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, there you can specify what data to back up going forward. You can do that after deleting the backup (tap the Delete Backup button on same page) and then begin a new backup.

  • HT1338 What's going on with iCloud (MobileMe)?  I'm able to sign in here, but I can't access mail on my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or work computer.  I always get an authorization error (user-id or passwork wrong).  This has been going on for almost a week now.

    The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
    You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
    What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
    - connecting the iPad to your Mac
    - selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
    - selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
    You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there  then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
    By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
    And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
    I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

  • What's going on with iCloud 3/11/15?

    What's going on with iCloud on 3/11/15? I can't sign in & asked over & over to log in. I need to get into iCloud pages to create a document. Same issues with iTunes.

    iCloud appears to be mostly up now, but there's still some issues as reported storage is wrong and attempting to change storage plans results in an error.  icloud.com is saying I have no documents or Photos stored, despite the fact there is stuff stored in iCloud Drive and iCloud Photos, both of which are currently working.
    I tried calling support, but they couldn't help me without a PIN that you need to get from appleid.apple.com and trying to sign into that site results in an errors, so there are major problems today.

  • Trying to understand Keychain in iCloud setup

    Trying to get this figured out. I want to set up Keychain in iCloud, but since my Mac Pro is too old and not the corret firmware to upgrade to Mavericks and I just have the recently purchased iPhone 5S I tried the code. For example
    1234, used on the iphone, and the code sent by sms.
    Yet it states it's incorrect.
    Am I missing something?

    OK - turned off the clear log. Here's a run. It fixed the 99999 business - but not the "may cause the keychain to be locked"

  • How can I see what photos are stored on iCloud?

    How can I see what photos are stored on iCloud? I haven't used Photo Stream before so there are no photos on there that I can see.
    Help needed ASAP.
    Thanks

    If you haven't used Photostream there won't be any photos "actually on iCloud".
    Any photos stored as part of an iOS device backup can be viewed on the iOS device after restoring the backup to the iOS device. They can't be viewed online.

  • How to choose what is backed up in icloud?

    Hello,
    I would like to find out how to choose what is backed up in iCloud. Mine is full but i dont think everything on my phone needs to be in there. Can you please help me filter what should be backed up and what doesn't.
    Thanks,
    Julie

    You can change the settings as well as delete old backups in "Settings > icloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage". I hope this solves your issue.

  • What's the point of iCloud

    Unless I misunderstood, I have to pay to get all my music to be pushed to all my devices (iTunes Match) and I have to buy iWork for my iPhone (even though I already have it on my Mac) in order to get those documents pushed to the cloud. (It makes more sense to stick with iWork beta!)
    I feel like Apple is nickling and diming its loyal customers.
    So, essentially, iCloud is useless! I thought it would be a great way to free up space on my hard drive; I could just store my documents and music in the cloud.
    My question is: what is the point of iCloud? Honestly, what does it do? It just pushes stuff between your devices? I genuinely don't understand the point of it.

    The real problem here is that Apple has no long-term commitment to support anything it makes.  It wasn't that long ago that MobileMe (which was not free) came into existence and now it is already being dumped in favor of iCloud, which lacks the iDisk, remote access to Time Capsules and personal websites.  It's a step backwards and a disservice to those of us who were using some or all of those MobileMe features. 
    Apple's product cycles, both hardware and software, are too short to be of use to anyone but those who like to play.  Forget about trying to run a business from Apple products these days.
    That is exactly right.
    In my own small home network we 7 Macs all being synced through MobileMe. Only two of these Macs can run Lion and doing so would mean no longer being able to use applications that our clients still use so it would mean loss of these clients. Not to mention the cost of replacing at least 5 of or Macs.
    Then there are businesses that have dozens of Macs or sometimes even hundreds of Macs along with gigs and gigs of data that Macs running Lion can't access. So even ignoring the huge cost of replacing al these Macs with newer Macs there is still the issue of Macs running Lion not being able to run needed applications.
    With MobileMe one could buy a newer Mac running Lion and it would still be able to sync with older Macs but now it is all or nothing.
    At least one design shop that I do work for is now replacing their Macs with Windows machines since these computers can run older software and also be able to sync with iOS devices using iCloud. At least a dozen other places that I do business are considering doing the same thing.

  • What apps access .jpg in iCloud from iphone

    What apps access .jpg in iCloud from iPhone? I transferred my files from dropbox to iCloud. now i can not access .jpg from my iPhone.

    Those are the only icons you should see. iCloud.com is for syncing data and documents between your various devices and computers. Think of it as data that is unique to you, your dentist appointment, the vets telephone number, your letter to the MP etc.
    iTunes on the other hand uses a huge database of songs, apps and other content which it sells in it's stores but that you can redownload at any time once you have purchased something from there. This is managed from the iTunes application on your computer or the music, video or app store apps on your mobile devices.
