This may of already been asked and answered, but why is it that there is still no way to view the photos on photo stream from iCloud.com? In the picture in the article I see a nice little spot next to minders where the photos icon can go. Say I don't have my computer, phone, or iPad. And a friend has a computer that I can login to iCloud.com for to show them either a video or photo. Why can't we do that?
 
Except when it doesn't.

"Our web app and syncing are disabled temporarily while we address a problem. Sorry for the short notice.

For what, all of 30 min. C'mon. iCloud gives me some kind of syncing issues every day (my .mac email gets a "!" at least once a day) and you are going to bust on Simplenote for a 30 min outage -- one that affected probably no one b/c of the short time lapse.

If you want to praise iCloud go ahead. But let's not pretend it's not a work in progress.
 
Come on Apple.... All I want is a way to easily transfer my notes 2-3 feet via cable from my device to my desktop. I don't need to send my notes thousands of miles through their unsecure cloud. Seriously, how have they not implemented anything simple yet???

Don't use iCloud then...
 
Already Possible! And this was inevitable

If you have Notes synching turned on in iCloud al you have to do is make an @me.com email to get it to sync to the mac/pc. Also, I saw this coming way back when the Mountain Lion beta came out since there was a separate Notes and Reminders app built in.
 
Yeah, I don't use iCloud for anything other than all of its functions either. :confused:

You are confused and poorly informed if you think the features I use are all of iClouds functions. Let's see there is Photo Stream, iOS backup and updating, Document storage (of course not all docs, just ones from iWorks apps), & iTunes Match.

I use Safari Bookmark, iCal, and Contacts syncing. I hope you are no longer confused now.
 
1% of all iCloud users I would presume… that's the whole point of expressing a number as a percentage! :)

You missed the point. How many iCloud users are there (I really have no clue what the number is)? Hence 1% of what.

Can't you can sync your notes offline in iTunes?
 
Where'd you get that it's 1%? Because you're factually wrong.

Thanks!

Less than 1%, or possibly more than a million people. You decide which sounds worse.

Key word "possibly".

They had an outage. Get over it. Don't like it? Go to GMAIl, Yahoo, Hotmail, your ISP...they all have alternatives.

There's nothing to get over champ. Everyone commenting doesn't really care, it happens. I'm just trying to figure out what the <1% means in real terms. Reading comprehension is your friend.

1% of all people trying to access it.
Case in point...
 
Maybe I'm illiterate, but that looks like < 1% to me. There can be a major difference between 1% and < 1% when talking about a 100 million customers.

yes.. so anywhere between 0% and 0.9999999999 (recurring) %
 
While interesting, I would prefer some kind of a standalone app. I can't even remember the last time I went to the iCloud website...
 
Any chance this means Notes will now actually sync to iCloud like everything else and not to some unwanted @me account it wants me to make?

I just want to read my notes on all my devices, but that's impossible without signing up for yet another e-mail address. Why is Notes so different?
