Why can't I use iCloud for exchange of data - like I could with MobileMe?
Oder auf Deutsch, warum kann ich keine Daten mehr in iCloud speichern bzw. zum Austausch bereitstellen, wie das bei MobileMe noch ging?
Danke für die Hilfe
Thanx in advance!

The purpose of iCloud is to sync data between your devices.
There is no "web address" to your files and no way to "share" them with others (except photos).

Why can't I use iCloud for Chrome bookmarks? I don't use Safari.

I want to be able to sync Chrome bookmarks between our two iMacs. This way my wife's iMac wil broadcast her bookmarks from any given session to a user account I have set up on my iMac in our bedroom for her so they can be always in sync.
I tried to see if iCloud could do this task but it seems completely unable to handle it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
geo
PS: I should include that my wife is disabled. Stairs are a big problem for her, so when she wants to resume using her account from her iMac but do so from our bedroom, she would really like it if the bookmarks were always updated this way.
She prefers to use Chrome so if she gets messages from family overseas, they are translated into English automatically.

Apple and MicroSoft rule your choices in exactly the same way. They offer products for sale and you buy or you don't. You don't design or get to pick which products they offer, you choose between them. Just like cars, aeroplanes and cookers. Don't read too much into this. It's not about your rights.
As far as I'm concerned, since I paid for the computer I certainly insist and demand on being able to do what I want with it within the limits of law and be limited by no one else's decisions regarding software.
Absolutely. And you are. You can do anything you want with it and are not limited in any way. You're free to use any software or service that you like.
But that's not the same as saying you get to demand what services are offered to you. Apple - or Google, or MicroSoft or anybody else - make their products as they think fit. If they meet your needs then by all means use them. If they don't, then use some other one, develop your own or find some other solution.
But you don't get to insist and demand what those products are, or the services that they provide. This is the same with every product. You don't get to demand that your food processor should also be a cooker. You don't get to demand that Apple provice syncing services for Google products. You don't get to demand the opposite. You get to choose which syncing service you prefer. Or to use none. Or find some other solution.

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Hi All,
I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.
What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

Why can't I use iDisk for a back-up disk for Time Capsule?

G'Day All,
I am new to apple and mostly am loving it! Being new to this product has me asking some basic questions, like ... why can't I use iDisk for a back-up disk for Time Capsule?
Here I have something like 20 gb disk space available, but it seems I need to buy an external hard drive (or an airport) in order to use, what I believe is one of apples greatest inventions, the Time Machine...
Can anyone correct my flawed understanding or, better yet, teach me how to do it properly?
Cheers
Gabriel

Speed makes sense, but I thought I had plenty of size available ... never mind! Looking over some of the other posts, it looks as though I'd be better off with an external Hard drive than the Apple Time Capsule (if I want more than 12-18months service).
That was true of some of the ones made a couple of years ago (many of which Apple replaced way beyond the warranty period, and even some beyond the 3-year AppleCare period). Presumably Apple has fixed the power supply problem in the newer units, so they'll last longer.
If you don't have AppleCare for your Mac, I'd strongly suggest buying it. If you do, and buy a TimeCapsule, Airport, or other accessory within 2 years, it's covered, too.
But unless you need a wireless router, yes, paying for one in a Time Capsule doesn't make sense. A good external HD is a much better buy.
thank you for the links - I am still getting used to the way Apples work ...
If you haven't found these yet, you may find some handy tips here: http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/

and some of the other videos listed on the Time Machine Tutorial page.

Why can't I use iCloud it keeps saying my email not verified but even tho I changed email in appleid.com and have signed into this forum with exactly same details it keeps telling me it's wrong .... Sooooooooo very very stressful

You have to respond to the verification email that Apple sends you by clicking on the Verify Now link. Make sure you are check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.
If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

Why can't I use Paypal for iTunes in The Netherlands?

For some time now I have been trying to complete my account so I can finally make purchases from the iTunes store. Today I tried again hoping that there would finally be a payment option besides credit cards. I was delighted to see the paypal option. I went through all the steps but eventually got an error message saying that iTunes needs a US based paypal account. Turns out I was in the US iTunes store when I tried to create my account. When I switched to the Dutch store there was no paypal option, only credit cards. Why the H can't I use paypal in the Dutch iTunes store when US citizens can choose PP? And if the PP option is in the works for The Netherlands, when will it be available?

Sorry, but Paypal is not available as a purchase option in the Netherlands nor, to the best of my knowledge, anywhere other than the US. Why this is, no one here knows or can say.

Why can't I download iCloud for windows vista?

I had a problem with the "famous" lastest iTunes update, so I erased every program that has anything to do with Apple, and now I need to install them all over again but my question is: How can I install iCloud on my windows vista computer if the say "windows 7 or 8 needed"?; and how can I get Mobile Me again??
I feel so frustated
Please HELP!!!
Thank you....

Download iCloud for Vista here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1687?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
MobileMe closed down more than a year ago, you can't get it back.

Can I upgrade 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion 10.8 on my 3 year old MacBook? If not, can I not use iCloud for my new iPhone?, Can I upgrade 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion 10.8 on my 3 year old MacBook? If not, can I not use iCloud for my new iPhone?

Can I update 10.6.8 to 10.8 so I can sync my macbook with my new iphone?

Mountain Lion has high requirements:
Lion also supports iCloud. Lion only needs Core2Duo and 2 GB RAM (though 4+ GB is better).
You can get Lion by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE and paying $19 for a download code to use in App Store.

Why can't I use some form of parental control like IE to make it safe for my Kids?

Why can't I use Ff for Android on my Huawel IDEOS U8150?

When I try to download Ff for Androids, Google sticks its nose in (they are sooo intrusive) and says I can't. Why is this? Don't Google like getting pushed out?

Actually the issue is not so much that it has a ARMv6 cpu as mobile Firefox does have support for ARMv6 as of Firefox 17.0. The upcoming [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/19.0beta/releasenotes/ mobile Firefox 19.0 has the cpu requirements lowered to 600 MHz] but you would still be rather short on RAM.
The issue is that the cpu is only 528 MHz and it only has 256MB RAM.

''Support for ARMv6 phones with at least 800MHZ processor and minimum 512MB RAM''

Why can't I use paid for song in FCPX project?

Trying to use songs that I've purchased from iTunes in project. Tried posting this question yesterday to find a work-around, but my posting was removed by a moderator. I'm just trying to understand the reasoning.
Thanks for any insight.
Midge

Buying a song from iTunes is not the same thing as paying for a license to use the media in your work. If you have a YouTube account, there are a lot of songs available for free use in your works (private and commercial.) Click the Create Link then Audio Library. Another source would be freemusicarchive.org. A google search for "free royalty free music" might help as well.... but you can't use music you buy "off the shelf."

Why can't I use menus for bookmarks after right-clicking?

When opening the bookmarks menu (from Menu Bar), and right clicking on a bookmark, all the choices are shown in light grey color, and I can't click anything of it. Why doesn't this work?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
If not, see this:
