When they say that iCloud doesnt count Apps, books, music, and photos as space...
Does this mean that all my apps dont count as actual storage space? let's say that I have Infinity Blade (take up quite a few mbs) would iCloud count it as a file that takes up part of the free 5gbs or not?

Hi there,
I've done something to my iMac and I'm not quite sure what happened. I went and changed the name on my "home" icon. When i went to my email- it needed keychain permissions- so i said ok. i'm guessing that it deleted my previous account. Ithen went to update some software (safari) and i needed to restart my computer. When it restarted- it opened up clean...email needed to be reset up, iTunes- empty- acts brand new; same with iPhoto- all my pics gone. I was able to find my documents-but no luck on the rest...And when I tried to save a new photo- it is telling me that my hard drive is out of space- leading me to believe that my music and photos must be on there somewhere...
I have searched- but to no avail. Not sure what to do. and I don't have any other "accounts" to open - such as my old name.
Anyone have any ideas?
Much appreciated in advance!

So many issues here!
1. You should never ever change the name of your Home icon - that's the short name of your User Account which is a total no-no. (Why don't Apple issue a grim warning when users try to do this?). Check out these old discussion threads which may contain something of interest or help :
https://discussions.apple.com/message/7069252#7069252
https://discussions.apple.com/message/4675452#4675452
2. This needs recovering from - see the first discussion thread (above). Your User Account is being treated as a new one, but your old data should be there - read the discussion
3. You must have been close to a full HD even before this happened? This is inadvisable - you should always have around 10% of your HD free, or at the very least, OS X will start to slow down dramatically.
Hopefully the first thread above will point you to a fix of your problem.

My friend just got back her stolen ipad...she says that she purchased all of her music and apps through the apple store. Will she be able to get back any of the content she has paid for?
If for some reason she has failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then she can redownload some purchases in some countries:

i am not able access my ipad as it says that the icloud has not been backed up. it also does not accept when i click ok.
Try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
When it's rebooted you can force a backup via Settings > iCloud -
What do Adobe employees mean when they say that customers didn't like CS when it first came out?
Every time I hear an Adobe employee try to defend CC they usually talk about a time when everyone hated the idea of the creative suite. Later these people all changed their minds when Adobe showed them what an incredible value the suite was. Maybe my memory is failing me here but I don’t recall ANYONE complaining about the idea of a design suite, not a single person. Certainly no where near the vitriol hatred that people are showing towards CC.
Everybody seems to understand the concept of buying in bulk. Just yesterday I needed a new stick of deodorant, when I was at the store they gave me the option of getting a discount if I bought four sticks of deodorant. It seemed like a good deal to me so I bought all four. We have been doing the same thing with software. Microsoft had been selling their Office suites long before Adobe put out CS so when CS came out it was warmly accepted. When MS tried the rental approach it was flat out rejected in the past and now Adobe is being overwhelmingly rejected today. They seem to have this attitude that if people would only try it they would like it but the approach has been tried and customers overwhelming didn’t go for it.pik80 wrote:

No, your memory is fine. The CS concept was accepted quite nicely as it offered a true partnership between the developer and end user ... with a discount for the user in supporting multiple titles. It was a win-win for both sides of the equation ... Adobe sold more apps, users received a price break over buying the apps separately.
Conversely ... CC doesn't offer any equity to the user whatsoever ... as Adobe wishes to be rewarded for their efforts no matter what they offer in the area of future updates, new and or improved features. Prior to CC, if a user did not deem new versions as worthy of paying the price to upgrade because that particular version did not offer any advancements, they could pass until there was a viable and worthy reason to invest further in Adobe's efforts. Plus, with CC, the user is left empty handed should they opt out of the subscription.
CC ensures Adobe will profit ... users? ... not so much ...
While users do receive something for thier monthly stipend to Adobe ... the traditional partnership of vendor and end user, the scales have tipped decisively in favor of the vendor. -
Can I expect iCloud to safely back up and secure my documents, music and pictures? I am using Cloud on phone, pad, and desktop. Have depended on external hard drive in the past. It is malfunctioning. Will the Cloud replace it for storage and safety?
Time Machine in itself, without an external drive may well be good for instances where you accidentally delete documents that you later require. However in the event of a hard drive failure, if Time Machine backup is kept on the same drive as the original items, it will not be much use to you.
In my opinion, it is vitally important that you have an external drive for backup, whether you use Time Machine or a another backup solution is entirely up to you.
My situation is slightly unusual, I have four hard drives in my computer and multiple arrays of hard drive enclosures with multiple hard drives within them (in total I have 40 TB of storage). As a result of this I tend to employ more than one backup procedure, I use Time Machine to backup some items and a utility called tri-backup to backup other items. I also keep two backups of everything.
Time Machine is free, it's included with your operating system, I wonder if you mean time capsule. -
My start up screen seems locked. and I cannot unlock it. Backlight will not stay lit longer than 15 seconds. What can I do?
Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

i got an iPad and all my app's, music, and movies are on it, but when i try to download some apps to mi iPhone, they doesn't appear on the purchased tab, how could i move them back to itunes so i can access thru iCloud? i have an 2nd generetion ipad and an iphone 5, thanks for you answers!
(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

Every time I make a call or I'm receiving a call my phone is extremely static i can't hear the person on the other line and the person on the other line cannot hear anything They say that they hear a lot of static now my videos when I play a video on YouTube for instance works just fine Siri works just fine. I can't make a call or receive a call whatsoever because all I hear is static and I haven't dropped the phone in water nothing has really happened this literally happened overnight
This is a wireless carrier issue. The fact that the speaker & microphone work properly for other apps is a great indicator that your device is fine.
Contact your wireless carrier about your call quality issue. -

Hello people!
As I mentionned in my question, I have lost my iPhone I'm feeling very dumb, it is the second time that this happens to me and I really need your help! I don't even know what happened, but when I arrived home after school, I didn't find my phone. The fact is that I was sure to have take it with me, but I haven't, as I see. I went on the apple site: "location of my iPhone" and they told me that my cellphone was out of service. Now, I really don't know what to do and what to think. I serched everywhere, in my car, everywhere in my house, I even went outside to check, but i live in Quebec and it is snowing a lot this winter, so maybe I just didn't see it... Anyways, I'm really scared cause I have 3G on my phone and now they say that I'm not connected to 3G anymore, neither any other internet service. I'm freaking right now. Does that mean that my cellphone is broke, stuck in the snow, or just somewhere that I'm never gonna find out? I'm imagining all the worst possibilities so if you don't want me to die soon, please, help me (try to reassure me if it is possible but if is not, tell me the truth anyways).
Thank you guys the one who is gonna help is going to have my recognition forever!

P.S.-I'm a french Quebecor so if you don't understand my writing, I'm sorryYou're welcome.
Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception. -
I have my iphone4 activated and working since 3days, i purchased it from ebay with 1year warranty, when i check the serial number from Apple store at Bangalore Forum mall, they say that it does not show anything and 'OUT OF WARRANTY'.
Now i have a problem in it, all icons just shake and system hangs, needs restarting.You need to go back to the person you bought it from. Sounds like they may have sold you phone that is not as described.
Did you check the warranty status before purchasing it? -
I just bought a brand new iPhone 5s and a huge problem is that when i try to sync my music to my iPhone 5s, under the music tab it says that i can only access my music via iCloud. is there anyway to sync your music from your computer?????
The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.

You will need to do what it says, which is to contact iTunes Support, not to post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
to contact the iTunes Store.

I don't know why I can't buy an app it always says that I have to change my address and the thing I I can't change my address due to that I have money in my accunt that they won't let me spandet
Your payment method must be associated withe same country where you reside in order to update your apps.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."
The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store
Same policy for the Mac App Store.
Open the App Store then scroll to the bottom of the window then select the round flag icon on the right to change the country. -
