What's the ultimate function of replicating progrommes to icloud because you can always download the programmes that you want to backup in icloud from apps without icloud

As we can always download the programmes that we want to backup in icloud from apps directly without icloud, then what's the ultimate utility of uploading programme files to icloud?
thanks a lot!

Backing up to iCloud is an alternative way for apple customers to be able to save data apart from contact, calendars, notes, etc. Now it might be pointless to you and to me, but some customers do not have computer to back up to or have their CD's that they import those songs from, so they need to save it.
To me backing up to icloud is only for 8GB iphones, any other devices will take up more than the free 5GB icloud has or you buy more storage, so it does not make sense to me or some people.

  • I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    First, are you positive it is really not there?  Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
    If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup.  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    Yes.
    From the box and the website:
    System requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port, Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later, and iTunes 10 or later4"

    You would need to update your Mac OS.

  • HT4759 Can I add an apple icloud because I can't delete the recent icloud on my iphone ... My dad was using this phone

    Is it possible to add icloud on my iphone because I can't delete the recent one it asking me for previous icloud account which was for my dad but he forgot it

    You could add an iCloud account, but not as your primary account which means that you would not be able to use all of the icloud features like documents and data, backup, find my iphone etc.
    It would definitely makes sense to delete your fathers account from the phone (Settings > iCloud) and then adding your account. If your father has forgotten his passsword then ask him to reset the password here: https://appleid.apple.com

  • Well, i have a macbook and i had my iphone 3s but since it was old i just bought my iphone 5s but the problem is that i can not transfer music because i can not download the latest version of itunes because the system does not allow me so what can i do?

    i mean it is the same brand i only use apple products, there should not be inconviniences like this being from the same brand, if it is a different brand like windows or whatever i understand but in this case is different i think

  • I want to put music on my iPhone 4, but am not able to because I can not download the version of iTunes required because my mac computer is too old.

    Am just having troubles in adding music to my new phone in that when I connect it to my computer it says that the phone requires the new version of iTunes being 10.5, but when I go to download this for my mac computer it says that this version of iTunes requires a different mac, meaning that my computer is too old.  So I am just wondering how I can get music onto my phone?!

    You will have to upgrade your operating system version and possibly your whole computer.  We cannot provide more information easily until we know more about your system.
    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    Apple does tell you about required equipment for the iPhone -- in 8 point medium gray type on a light gray box.   The Store associates kind of automatically assume everybody is running a new model computer and the one I met when we bought our iPhone had never seen a pre-2008 Mac and was somewhat puzzled why anybody would own such an antique.

  • How to prevent downloading? because my sister always downloading any files that has more MB and it will store to the memory, so i wanted to stop download.

    Thank you, please answer my question

    You can look at this extension:
    *Public Fox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/public-fox/
    Note that an extension can easily be bypassed by starting in Safe Mode (hold down the Shift key when starting).

  • I can't download the Ipod software update

    I've been trying all night to download the software update and it keeps giving me error -3259 saying my network wasn't working properly. Well that's not true since I've been browsing the web while downloading and playing xbox live all night. I know that I can connect to the internet just fine but it just keeps saying I can't download the update. I have the newest version of iTunes I just downloaded it tonight so I know that is not the problem. I have no idea what else to do. Anything you guys know that would help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for all the help!

    I did. Itunes isn't blocked by windows firewall. I'm trying to see if I can unblock it under Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 but I haven't been able to find out how yet.

  • Can you upgrade from 1.3.0.20 small ovf to 2.1 without migrating to a new server? It sounds like you can just adjust the server settings now.

    Can you upgrade from 1.3.0.20 small ovf to 2.1 without migrating to a new server? It sounds like you can just adjust the server settings now. I am currently running 1.3.0.20 and I have enough to do with also needing to upgrade my wlc to 7.4.121.0 and getting the MSE up to 7.4.121.0 without having to stand up a new server if I don't have to. Please share any information you have in regards to your experience with coming from a version 1.2-1.3 small ovf and going to 2.1.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    You are better off standing up a new server.  It's cleaner and safer..... you can always try to upgrade if you wish, but if things don't work out well, then you just wasted a lot of time.  Snapshot the VM and export the floor plans, just in case.  The ova is built around the DB size, so I don't know how well the DB will perform if you try to expand memory or drive space after an upgrade.

  • Satellite Pro A300D-161 why i can't download the latest Bios from Toshiba

    Hi,
    i want your help because i can't download the latest Bios for my notebook from toshiba-europe support page.
    Either internet expoler 8, either firefox can't open the Bios download page.
    Why is that problem? Is thre anyway to fix it?
    Does anyone has the same problem with me?
    Note: I'm using windows xp and the version of the bios is *3.10*v dated +30/4/2009+.
    Thanks in advance and sorry for my english, mike.

    Hi!
    I agree with you and Jimi.
    I have tried to download the BIOS for Satellite Pro A300D but it doesnt work at the moment :(
    But I think Toshiba will fix this problem as fast as possible. Try it 1 or 2 days later.
    Why do you want to update the BIOS? Do you have an issue?
    Bye

  • HT2729 If you can't download a movie twice for free, how do yo get the movie on another device?

    I lost a movie.. Now I guess I have to buy it again. I have a crap computer which is why I lost the movie in the first place. How can I get a movie to another device?

    If you are in the U.S., you can re-download the movie without having to pay for it again - for a purchased movie.
    Other than that, you need to get a non-crap computer so the movie can be available in your iTunes library on your computer to transfer to each device and to remove the movie from each device if wanted or needed without having to delete the movie.

  • Where can I download the iTunes64.msi driver. I can't update my current Itunes without this driver.

    Where can I download the iTunes64.msi driver. I can't update my current Itunes without this driver. I can't find it on Microsoft's website or Apple's website.

    You can't download the individual .msi files, but they can be extracted from the setup.exe files if required.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you are running 64-bit Windows and the above steps haven't helped try installing the version of iTunes that can be downloaded from this support document. iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)

  • Certificate issues Active Directory Certificate Services could not process request 3699 due to an error: The revocation function was unable to check revocation because the revocation server was offline. 0x80092013

    Hi,
    We have some problems with our Root CA. I can se a lot of failed requests. with the event id 22: in the logs. The description is: Active Directory Certificate Services could not process request 3686 due to an error: The revocation function was unable to
    check revocation because the revocation server was offline. 0x80092013 (-2146885613).  The request was for CN=xxxxx.ourdomain.com.  Additional information: Error Verifying Request Signature or Signing Certificate
    A couple of months ago we decomissioned one of our old 2003 DCs and it looks like this server might have had something to do with the CA structure but I am not sure whether this was in use or not since I could find the role but I wasn't able to see any existing
    configuration.
    Let's say that this server was previously responsible for the certificates and was the server that should have revoked the old certs, what can I do know to try and correct the problem?
    Thank you for your help
    //Cris

    hello,
    let me recap first:
    you see these errors on a ROOT CA. so it seems like the ROOT CA is also operating as an ISSUING CA. Some clients try to issue a new certificate from the ROOT CA and this fails with your error mentioned.
    do you say that you had a PREVIOUS CA which you decomissioned, and you now have a brand NEW CA, that was built as a clean install? When you decommissioned the PREVIOUS CA, that was your design decision to don't bother with the current certificates that it
    issued and which are still valid, right?
    The error says, that the REQUEST signature cannot be validated. REQUESTs are signed either by itself (self-signed) or if they are renewal requests, they would be signed with the previous certificate which the client tries to renew. The self-signed REQUESTs
    do not contain CRL paths at all.
    So this implies to me as these requests that are failing are renewal requests. Renewal requests would contain CRL paths of the previous certificates that are nearing their expiration.
    As there are many such REQUEST and failures, it probably means that the clients use AUTOENROLLMENT, which tries to renew their current, but shortly expiring, certificates during (by default) their last 6 weeks of lifetime.
    As you decommissioned your PREVIOUS CA, it does not issue CRL anymore and the current certificates cannot be checked for validity.
    Thus, if the renewal tries to renew them by using the NEW CA, your NEW CA cannot validate CRL of the PREVIOUS CA and will not issue new certificates.
    But it would not issue new certificates anyway even if it was able to verify the PREVIOUS CA's CRL, as it seems your NEW CA is completely brand new, without being restored from the PREVIOUS CA's database. Right?
    So simply don't bother :-) As long as it was your design to decommission the PREVIOUS CA without bothering with its already issued certificates.
    The current certificates which autoenrollment tries to renew cannot be checked for validity. They will also slowly expire over the next 6 weeks or so. After that, autoenrollment will ask your NEW CA to issue a brand new certificate without trying to renew.
    Just a clean self-signed REQUEST.
    That will succeed.
    You can also verify this by trying to issue a certificate on an affected machine manually from Certificates MMC.

    Unfortunately there is little you can do, Lion will not run on your machine.
    However it is possible to access some features of iClould while staying with SL. If you go to iCloud you will see the web interface for the cloud.
    Some but not all functionality is here. Check it out and see if it meets your needs.

    hi help unlock the phone happened after we installed a new programa we can not get the activation password and ID, I know and still does not stop the phone bought in Israel and what documents should be sent to confirm that my phone Please read through the help

    What I am saying is ..........
    The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
    The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship  with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
    With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount  usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
    This is how O2 function and according to Gemma  this is how Vodafone work
