Fom all that I've read, and experienced, in this regard, Apple regards the iClodu copy as the master copy. And if iCloud is correctly set up, synchronization of contacts between computer and iCloud is automatic and complete.
Also, every article I've encountered on the subject says to make complete backups of calendars and contacts before first starting iCloud.

That is exactly what will happen if you sync your iPhone, so DO NOT SYNC your iPhone with your MBPro. When you open iCloud under System Preferences, is Contacts checked?

Before making such a decision, I suggest you wait until the product in question is actually released, rather than losing your mind over it 6 months in advance.

> I wonder, since Best Buy sells Apple computers, will they let you use their wifi? I agree that comments about "just go to an Apple store" are rather ignorant since you said that would involve a 200 mile trip. Only two land-based homes that I own are within 100 miles round trip from an Apple store. And, even while traveling, getting to an Apple store can be a major hassle.
And other sources of free wifi (e.g., McDonald's or Starbuck's) are so hard to find, too.

If you had read the original post, Mountain Lion can be installed in any
Apple store using THEIR bandwidth. That's why I mentioned it. Read the
thread!

Obviously, either Jim S has never tried to download a 4GB file from McD or
his McD has way better WIFI than any I have been at. I tried a couple of
times for an iOS update on my iPhone and was never successful.
One of my residences has no cable or dsl available, or any option but
satellite. Although I haven't tried an Apple major release via satellite,
I have done several 2GB downloads within the nightly free 5 hour period.

True enough.
I use McD Wifi, but I don't need it for large downloads.
Before I had a DSL line (peaks at 2.7 Mbps), I would drive 20 minutes to use the Apple Store's Wifi.

What's your peak download speed during that free time?
3.7 GB at an uninterrupted 1 Mbps would take about 8 hours, 15 minutes.

Using satellite I have started the Combo update 10.7.3, which is 1.26GB.
So far it has downloaded 85.49MB in 10min. That cal. to about 150kb per sec(?). I have the rest scheduled during the free time(unregulated time) for tonight. I hope that it get done without getting FAPed (fair access policy). If not we our connection will be very very very slow.

85.49 megabytes = 683.92 megabits.
10 minutes= 600 seconds.
That's a little over 1 megabit per second.
At that rate, 1.26 GB should take about 150 minutes, or 2.5 hours.

On what do you base your assertion that Jim has some sort of legally
enforceable right to access to future versions of OS X?
Apple is entitled to make their products as difficult to purchase as
they like. Unless you have pre-paid for them, and now can't take
possession of them in any way, you have no legal right to force them
to make them more accessible. Your Mac, running an older version of
OS X, runs just fine. You haven't been harmed.

This really isn't a big problem, Jim.
When Mountain Lion comes out, if it is only available via download,
If you are willing to pay for Mountain Lion, and a big enough USB
flash drive, I'd be happy to download it, put it on the USB flash
drive, and mail it to you.
Lion (4.7GB) fits on an 8GB USB flash drive with lots of room to
spare. Mountain Lion shouldn't be much larger. Right now you can
purchase an 8GB USB flash drive for only $7 with free shipping:

Let me know if you need/want me to do this for you when ML is released.

I just looked CCleaner's Web site:
I don't see that it does anything that you can't already do with your
Mac. And the Mac doesn't have a registry that needs cleaning, unlike
Windows.

Re: can't play DVD copy

Just got a bunch of DVDs that I will soon take to Europe and probably leave there. I made a copy of one --my first time-- to see if it will play, however I can�t get DVD Player to play it.
Why can�t I play the nondisc version? Do I have to burn the originals to discs before I can play them? I�d like to be able to make copies of the 10 Great Courses discs that I received.
Thanx. Oneal

When you made the copy what was the format of the DVD you made??? Does your DVD player accept that format??? That is what you need to know.
Try playing it on the puter you used to make the copy and see if it plays.

moving emails from one computer to another
Posted by: "Louise Stewart" veggie236@earthlink.net pudgybulldog
Sat Feb 25, 2012 7:58 pm (PST)
I've ordered a Mac Mini and it will arrive in a few days. I currently
have a G4 and use Mail for my email. I hope there's an easy way to
move my address book and all my emails to the new computer. If so, how?
I want to continue to use the G4 for a while for some things, but all
emails and anything Internet will be on the Mini. After I get all the
new software I need, then the Mini will be used nearly 100% of the time.
AND, if I don't want to upgrade my Quark software to be compatible
with the Mini, I guess there's no way for me to be able to use all of
those old files except on the G4. Right?

Hi Louise,
Just use Migration Assistant and move all user files to your Mini. Then start up Mail and Safari on your Mini. Everything should work fine. You can continue to use G4 though I would avoid Mail unless you have set up as IMAP or with POP and leave messages on the server.

MA is great provided you don't have something corrupt to start with.
I've used MA to move from machine to machine as I upgraded hardware.
The issue was that I did have something amiss that I didn't even know about.
I did a clean, 'hands on' update the last time I updated my OS and what
a difference! My machine ran like it never had before.
Not saying MA is not a good way to go, just saying use caution.
