Did they specify it would work with iPad endpoints ? Do they provide technical support ? What did support say ?

iCloud versus MobileMe

I've migrated from MobileMe to iCloud a month ago and am disappointed at the loss of iDisk and the Photo Gallery.

I thought one of the ideas of cloud computing is to be able to access any type of file from any computer in the world. Now this feature is discontinued. MobileMe was supposed to be "Sharepoint for the rest of us".

Does anyone know of any rival systems I can subscribe to so I can still have my photo gallery AND iDisk features?

Lion is a GREAT operating system!

Tks,
BF

Bell_Flyer,

Try post #5 on this forum thread ? (N.B. Have not tried myself, just the result of a Google...)

MacRumors Forums - View Single Post - Will iCloud ever provide storage like iDisk?

[The Many Tentacles]

BF - would something like DropBox work for what you're wanting.I don't know if you'd get all the iDisk features, but you would be able to access what you need once you've uploaded it

Thanks Mixture and TMT!! I am outback the next few days and will try that when I return to civilisation and fast internet.

I dabble with GIS information (very big files). With iDisk, I can click on the file in the cloud (Mobile Me cloud that is), click on sharing options and send a URL to the people who need to download it together with file password if necessary and a short message. I think with the Drop Box I will have to give them login details to my cloud so they can drag the doc down to their machine. I will test this next week and report back.

Thanks for your input.

Googe is offering the same for free!

[Bell_Flyer]

Mixture and TMT - tried the link and it works well. It is good as a personal cloud backup.

Unfortunately it is not a 'share point for the rest of us' hence you can't share big files or pics with friends (unless you give them your login and password to iCloud).

Google features ain't as good as MobileMe, unfortunately.

thanks anyhow.

iPAD stuck in French!

iPad purchased and having (unfortunately) registered my French address during the "Set-up" procedure the iTunes (and much else) assumes I am fluent in French. How do I either re-register or change the language to English? Please keep any advice simple, many thanks.

[The Nr Fairy]

Settings -> General -> International -> Language

Et en francais . . .

Reglages -> General -> International -> Langue . . .

[MCR01]

Thanks NR; already done all that; "itunes" still in French though! Any other ideas? Will turning off "Location Services" help?

[MacBoero]

iTunes will be registered using the Apple ID account you set up. If this was done using a French address and credit card, this might be what is tying iTunes to the French store. I don't know if changing your account details to a UK address and UK credit card will do the trick, or whether you'd need to create a new account using UK details and deauthorising the ipad from the old account and authorising it to the new one.

Apple update 10.7.3.

This has apparently caused significant internet connection and internet share errors for Apple computers. You might want to have a look at the downsides of this before downloading. There's a fair bit of stuff on the internet. Easiest way to correct the problem seems to be to go back in time and/or reinstall Lion OS X if that is what you're running. Hope the 10.6.8 for Snow Leopard has no jinxes.

cavortingcheetah,

There was a delta 10.7.3 update that had a few issues. However within a few days of its public release, Apple replaced the delta with a rollup update (only real downside being the larger file size).

I've been running 10.7.3 on a couple of my macs for a while now and have not seen any internet connection issues.

[crewmeal]

The talk now is about Mountain Lion. Anyone know what to expect?

[fmgc]

It's getting close to an iPad!

Apple - OS X Mountain Lion. Even more innovation comes to the Mac.

[cavortingcheetah]

mixture...
Thank you for that information and I shall investigate further. The Apple Store at Core Centre Johannesburg has had several customer complaints on he 10.7.3. I haven't a clue why it might be a problem in Johannesburg. I'll probably stay undownloaded until I head up north and get somewhere near a Genius Bar.

Apple ipad2 problem

I have an iPad 2 and have found that I have two problems when using this forum.

Firstly it does not seem possible to paste quotes in the same way as on a pc. By that I mean cutting the 1 at the end of the url.


Second is that the smillies don't work, it seems, on the iPad.


Anyone got a solution?

[mixture]

Are you using the web browser version or the "app" version ?

A quick google suggest the former might show some bugs if the PPRuNe admins have not applied the relevant patches to fix the problems in the forum software.
