First taste of Apple's iCloud available with iTunes 10.3, iOS App Store

[Rob D]

Someone mentioned seeing all the apps they have ever downloaded.
I know what they mean.
Is there anyway of deleting some of these off?
I have loads of crappy cheap and free ones I will never use again and I don't want to be constantly scrolling over them.

Nope, they are there permanently. http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/ios-apps/240627-question-about-apps-icloud-beta.html

As of right now, it is not available via Software Update. You'll have to go to the link above.

Are you sure? That's how I got 10.3 last night, and 10.3.1 this morning.

I tried getting a new song off of iTunes(from my mac), a free one, to see if it would send to my iphone after "buying" it, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right because it's not working. I have all the active downloads set to "on" on both my iphone and mac. What am I doing wrong? Is there a wireless sync that I have to press? Am I mistaken for what it's suppose to do?

I just got 10.3.1 and downloaded songs purchased on my iPhone on my MB! The process was seamless and convenient just as advertised.

It is now and has been since sometime yesterday I believe. It was not at the time of that previous post.

How can I authourize more than 5 computers.... pia

Try Amazon Unbox - you get 2, count 'em, two... computers.

Pretty sure a lot of people are going to be saying that. its funny how owners of other mobile devices are always comparing to the iPhone. The iPhone never compares to android. Read between the lines, iPhone and iOS is the standard.

Its almost as if not owning an iPhone is going against the trend. Odd how things have changed over the last 5 years for Apple and the Mac brand. Give it 10 - 15 more years and owning a PC will be considered the "non-conformist" choice. Ahhhh. The circle of life.

Very true. I got my Samsung Galaxy S (after having an iPhone 3G for 2 years) the day before the iPhone 4 came out (I was aware of it) and still love it but I really miss syncing with iTunes. There's apps out there that do it but... not very well and not through iTunes. Plus none of them that I've found support multiple SD cards.
Plus Google Music is only available in the US (invite only) so I have no access to any cloud! Looking forward to that contract running out.

thought the keynote said that iCloud would support 10 machines.

got itunes 10.3 downloading all my itunes purchased songs, even a couple CDs I had that I forgot about haha...

..love it...

I didn't have any issues syncing either iOS device last night after upgrading to 10.3. I resynced them (when i realized I didn't sync what I wanted) this morning after upgrading to 10.3.1.

I don't think you can get this anywhere else. Or can you?

Sad that this is not yet available in Canada, probably thanks to our stupid CRTC again

But at least it works for Apps and Books

Bunch of fascist, elitist, controlling dictators #@_)*&#!!!!

A sure-fire way to find out if someone's a Canadian: mention the CRTC
