With auto iCloud sync, do I have to pay for a subscription?

Since much of what we do on the MacBook, Air & other devices seem to sync automatically so that photos, calendar entries etc appear on all our other paired devices, does that mean we have to pay for an iCloud account? I ask this because I have an iCloud account from the old MobileMe days. My husband is inheriting my old MacBook Pro and I wonder if he needs to subscribe to an iCloud account in order for his info to be synced automatically with his iPad and iPhone. Appreciate any advice out there. Thanks very much.

iCloud is free with the basic storage of 5GB. You can extend this for a cost, but otherwise there is no charge.

Do iPhone users have to pay for AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots?

I'm wondering if since we all have AT&T now, with data plans, if we will have to pay for AT&T WiFi Hot Spots while using our iPhones (or otherwise).
Anyone tried this out yet?

if you have dsl pro or above at home you get free wi fi hot spots see below
AT&T Wi-Fi service, powered by Wi-Fi technology, can connect you with public wireless high-speed Internet access at speeds much faster than dial-up when you're in a 150-foot range of our growing number of public hotspots — in airports, hotels, restaurants, and other convenient locations.
AT&T Wi-Fi Basic is Free to AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet Pro, Elite, FastAccess® DSL Xtreme, Xtreme 6.0, and U-Verse customers, no ordering required. AT&T Wi-Fi Basic provides access to nearly 10,000 AT&T branded hotspots nationwide. Customers can login at the hotspots by entering their primary DSL or U-Verse account username and password.
To get started, customers can use a Wi-Fi enabled laptop, iPhone, or other Wi-Fi enabled device to connect at an AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spot. Customers can login through the hotspot's web page. Alternatively, use the AT&T Wi-Fi Connection Software for simple and easy connections with laptops at hotspots.
AT&T Wi-Fi supports Virtual Private Networking and personal firewalls, so you can surf and work securely.
Two ways to join, subscription or membership. Subscriptions are for AT&T customers who can bill through their telephone bill. Memberships are for anyone who chooses to be billed with a credit card.

I updated my 4s to IOS 8 and now it won't automatically connect with my Ford SYNC. I have to turn the phone off and then on again for it to connect.

I updated my 4s to IOS 8 and now it won't automatically connect with my Ford SYNC. I have to turn the phone off and then on again for it to connect.
Why is this? My husband's 4s is still on IOS7 and it still connects automatically.

I do not know if this will help.
For a limited time Apple will allow you to downgrade to 7.1.2. Hurry do not wait.

Can I exclude photos on my iPhone from being sent to iCloud and how? My goal is to only sync my calendar to the iCloud and exclude everything else. This way I don't have to pay for more space.

Hey Murphie,
I don't pay for more space and I'm backing up two devices to iCloud, a 32G ipad and a 16G phone.
However, you can merely chose NOT to backup to iCloud. Then you won't run out of space. Items synced to iCloud do not take up your backup space.
Now, you WILL have to back up to your computer via iTunes the old fashioned way, or risk losing valuable data. Your choice.
However, if you manage your data responsibility, you won't run out of your 5G of storage on your iCloud backup from normal use.
Good luck

The iphone and ipad must be connected to the same icloud account. Are you by chance using different IDs to connect from each device?

HT4915 Why do I have to pay for iTunes Match subscription to delete songs I've previously purchased from iCloud?

From the support article, it seems that I have to pay for an iTunes Match subscription in order to permanently delete songs from iCloud. Is there a way to delete songs from iCloud without having iTunes Match?

You don't have to sign up to iTunes Match to play your iTunes music purchases through the iPad's Music app (if you've synced or downloaded them to the app). iTunes Match allows you to store your own music collection (e.g. copied from CDs, bought from other sites) in the cloud as well as the music that you've purchased from iTunes
From http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ :
With iTunes in the Cloud, the music you buy from the iTunes Store automatically appears on all your devices.1 And for music you haven’t purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution. iTunes Match is built right into iTunes on your computer and the Music app on your iOS devices.2 It lets you store your entire collection in iCloud, even music you’ve imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes. When it’s in iCloud, it’s available on all your devices. So you can enjoy all your music anywhere, anytime — on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV.

To to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud ID. A new password will be sent to the associated email address.
It this doesn't work, go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

HT1933 My ex-boyfriend stole my email address and credit card information to make purchases with Apple and now my Apple ID account has a balance. Is there any way I can retract the purchases so I don't have to pay for his theft of my information?

My ex-boyfriend stole my email address and credit card information to make purchases with Apple and now my Apple ID has a balance. Is there any way I can retract the purchases so I don't have to pay for his theft? I had no idea he had done this until I tried to sign in to the ITunes store and found all his information and a whole bunch of song purchases. I had to go to my email and reset everything. I only have a 2.10 balance due to him, but I just want to find out if there is a way to erase it because of this circumstance.

You need to immediately pull credit reports to see what else he has done. Then "freeze" the credit report at all three agencies. That way even you need to lift the freeze to add credit cards or other credit items to your SSN.

I bought a Iphone 4S in Colombia two months ago, It never work properly, I cant put turn it on. When I went to Movistar they told me that it was a problem with the software. Now, they have the Iphone for repair.

I bought a Iphone 4S in Colombia two months ago, It never worked properly, I cant put turn it on. When I went to Movistar they told me that it was a problem with the software. Now, they have the Iphone for repair at Movistar. The questios is, If I bought a NEW Iphone why they gave me a Iphone with this problem. I asked about the warranty but they told me that Apple doesn't respond. Please tell me something. The IMEI is: 013071008363505 is a Iphone 4S 16GB. Black.

I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.
This site has a wealth of information about getting inside a Macbook or Macbook Pro.

HT4914 Does the music upload limit of 25 000 songs to iCloud is aside of the 6gig limit offered by iCloud for stocking/saving data or is it the same? Will I have to pay for an storage limit update for iCloud because I take iTunes Match?

And will I have to pay for an update storage limit for iCloud because I take iTunes Match?

No, your iCloud storage is seperate. I have 42GB of music in my itunes match account and I still have almost all of the 5GB of storage space free. You only have to pay for itunes match once and as long as you don't have more than 25,000 songs in your itunes, you are good to go.

Please DO go back to your Nokia. I'm sure people on their support forums will love your whining and idle threats just as much as we do.

HT4436 Do you have to pay for icloud on your iphone?

Do you have to pay for icloud on your iphone?
From a Newbie

The first 5G is FREE. After you use all of that, you can buy more in setting and then iCloud. Hope this helps.

If you get an iPad with the 3G do you have to pay for internet service?

If you get an iPad with the 3G do you have to pay for internet service?

No. But you have to purchase a data plan in order to use the iPad via the 3G connection. Some 3G iPad owners do not have internet service at home and rely only on the 3G connection.
If you do not purchase a data plan to use with the 3G, then you will only be able to use your iPad where you can find a WiFi connection - like at a library, or a Starbucks, Barnes and Noble, a friend's house that has WiFi .....

HT201250 How do you stop a Macbookpro with OSX 10.7.5 from turning off or logging off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

My problem is my Macbookpro mid 2010 with OSX 10.7.5 seems to turn off or logs off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

I had this problem on an IMac and I finally found a solution in an unlikely place. The problem was a security setting. I don't remember right this moment the exact setting and I am not on that machine right now but when I am I will try to retrace my steps to the fix. In the meantime check your security settings and any browser or browser extensions for computer log off settings. These settings are intended to prevent unauthorized use and incidentally screw up your backups. Hope this helps.
