| I have been feeling pretty much the same, Julie! What I have found out in the meantime is that even if I don't make the backup on my iTunes program on my laptop (since I am now doing the iCloud backup), I can still synchronize with it. Before doing that, though, without connecting the iPhone/iPad, click on the settings in iTunes, click on "devices" and put a check on the option, "hinder the automatic synchronization of iPhone, iPad..." Then you can connect your device and synchronize what you want (without a backup and without things being synchronized that you don't want to be). And you can also set up a WLAN-synchronization if you want to avoid the cable connection. That's what I have done. This way you can still get things like apps or music or books, and so forth imported from your iTunes (on your computer) to your mobile devices, also without cable.

I've been playing with it for a couple of days and now I don't know where I've been and I have no idea where to go. All I know for sure is that "what I got is not what I want". At this point I would much rather hook up to iTunes. So today I was going to try and unsubscribe from the iCloud stuff and go back to the old way. It worked for me. But - I will wait and see the responses to your question. Julie --- In iPad@yahoogroups.com, "David H. Bailey" <dhbailey52@...> wrote: > > I'm confused about iCloud.
