Hi Jane, I'd suggest trying the restore again. Did you get an error message? In all likelihood Apple's servers were too busy and if you wait a while and give it another try things will work. Best, Zack. On Oct 12, 2011, at 9:12 PM, Jane wrote: > My iPad is ... well ... > > I attempted to do the

Hi Mike, I'm not sure why it is, but it seems intentional. You need to unlock the phone first before notification center will come up. I think about it in relation to the unlock code and similar features, if anybody could just read your notifications without first unlocking the phone it might be

Hi Brian, You're correct, I'm afraid. However, I'd argue that iCloud doesn't require the web interface at all, it can be controlled entirely from your iOS devices and your macs, and apparently even PCs. I don't think the web apps are any great loss. THis isn't to excuse APple for not making them

Hi Geoff, I can't comment on whether it was world-wide or not, as I don't yet own a 4S though would love to in the near future. Some hiccups are probably to be expected in the early days, though I can understand why people might not be very happy with the crash. I imagine Apple's internal server

Re: Is iCloud working for me or not?

2011-10-15 Thread Zachary Kline
Hi Paul, Documents and data is primarily for your iWork documents, I gather. I never tested this much myself when testing iCloud. The reason your storage shows as 0 GB used is that contacts, calendars, etc are not counted against the 5 GB limit. That is primarily for mail and backups, along with

Dear Lynn If I may ask, what is iCloud not doing for you that you expected it to? I believe your media has been stored in the cloud for the past several months, ever since iTunes in the cloud became available. Best, Zack. On Oct 15, 2011, at 12:47 PM, Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith wrote: > Paul >

iCloud wasn't syncing my contacts, a discovery

Hi All, This post may be old hat to some of you, but I thought I should share it in case it is useful. I recently figured out that iCloud was not my mac's default storage location for new contacts. It was puzzling to me that I'd add a contact on the Mac and not see any mention of them on my iPod

Hi Mary, I don't know if iCloud will be a problem for you. All you need to do is turn off the items you don't want synced. As far as I'm aware, iCloud won't touch your apps on any device, unless you have the automatic download option checked in the Store settings, in which case new purchases wil
