iCloud use and/or plans for use
I have not upgraded to icloud, as there is no documented support for third party email clients or other operating systems except for Lion or Win7. Neither of which I am currently running. 10.7 hasn't been installed because I still have 2 Macs that don't support the install. And because I am still using a couple of PPC dependent apps. Not really understanding the why they would not want to support Snow Leopard at least. If I can't have my calendar at home and work all be connected then I might as well just switch to google services. They pretty much can do everything that icloud does without the burden of having to figure out all the settings manually.

I have an old iPhone 3GS that I upgraded to iOS 5, and I don't get any errors with iCloud-related activities. Are you suggesting that Apple is intentionally selecting some older iPhones to have iCloud errors? Edited on Nov 29, '11 05:03:28PM by Dephex Twin

Nope, I am not suggesting, I am saying that Apple doesn't let me use iCloud on my iPhone 3GS. The error message clearly says that the iPhone 3GS is too old and I can't see any technical reasons for this. ---

Even from a purely cynical viewpoint, what is the advantage to Apple to deliberately have some iPhone 3GSes work and others not work? If they wanted to make iPhone 3GS obsolete, they could have just made iPhone 4 a requirement for the new OS and gotten a lot more upgrades. On the other hand, intentionally making some iPhone 3GSes not work (a) gives the false appearance that Apple has bugs/technical issues with iCloud (a characterization that they really wanted to overcome after MobileMe), (b) only forces some 3GS users to upgrade, and (c) might even put them into legal hot water. There is no reason why Apple would do this. Edited on Nov 30, '11 02:53:23PM by Dephex Twin

I wasn't cynical, I just stated a fact. I only speculated about possible reasons. ---

The first thing is: MobileMe users who would like to keep using MobileMe until next June are advised not to sign up for iCloud until they're ready to stop using MobileMe. Most of the MobileMe problems I've seen reported in the Apple Support Community forums started after signing up for iCloud.

I don't have a Mobile.me acount. ---

I'm now able to use some cloud features on my iPhone 3GS. Maybe this is because I updated to iOS 5.0.1, maybe Apple changed something on the servers, I don't know. ---

I chose iCal & Contacts, as that is the most useful to me. I use just about everything, except for anything that requires Mail. My Apple ID is a gmail account. I can't get it changed over to my .me account at all. As a result, Apple wants me to get another free .me e-mail account which I do not want.

I use Find my Device (or have it configured for when i need to), but I don't trust Apple for Contact & Calendar sync. They have a bad history. And I've always hosted my own mail.
iCloud use and/or plans for use
I'm using iCloud for Mail, Address Book, iCal, iPhone backups, and Photo Stream. I am not using other types of document sharing, mostly because I do not use iWorks apps.

Like most polls this only assumes having it installed and actually using it for something.

I would love to use it, but the fact that you can’t rename your iCloud accounts (i.e. in Address Book or iCal or Sys Prefs) makes it useless to me.

I signed up for iTools the day it was announced, had no qualms about the transition to paying for the dotMac services, shrugged at the (lame marketing driven) service re-invention to dotMe, but I have not "upgraded" to iCloud yet, although if some of the features that dotMac/dotMe offered are added I may find myself transitioning to it sooner rather than later. ---

Come now, surely I'm not the only person who doesn't want to give up her Cydia tweaks.

Can't participate in the poll: I use iCloud for several things, but not everything it's capable of.
Question about content ownership and no Gallery replacement
One of the things I've liked about MobileMe and its predecessor iTools is that the license terms were very favorable to me retaining ownership of my content. I haven't reviewed iClouds terms and compared it to a modern Flickr, Google, or other host's terms, but I have a feeling that they all now contain a clause effectively stating that the company may use any content you post in any way they see fit (obviously marketing either internally or reselling that data.)
iCloud use and/or plans for use
I have MobileMe and am still waiting. I use Snow Leopard on all my machines except one which from time to time, using an external boot disk uses Lion. My iPhone is of the 3G type (iOS 4.1 to preserve tethering here in Belgium, no iCloud!) and my iPad 2 (iOS 5) is the only one which could use iCloud. |
