Apple Bringing Notes and Reminders to iCloud.com with iOS 6

How?
Click to expand...
Go to iCloud.com and run the Mail app. There'll be a folder at the bottom named "Notes."

Assuming you have iCloud on for Notes on your iPhone of course.

Great! Yes!

Let's put everything on the iCloud. Private documents, personal photo's, personal this, personal that.

Yes, not only must you have to live in fear that some bloke in the computer repair shop will steal your ID and rob your bank account, when your computer / iDevice chokes.

You will also need to fear some 'clever' kid or an even 'cleverer' adult with a ounce of systems knowledge, or some random black hat with a grudge, to just hack iCloud whilst you think you are sleeping safe at night.

Security often only gets tightened once it has been breached; as the only way you know it needs tightening is when is has been breached. I am not going to be an Apple security 'miner's Canary'.

Don't tell me it cannot be done, it already has. I had to reset my PSN account twice! And all they had was my credit card details (which is not my money...;)). Imagine if I used my PSN account in the way I am being courted to use iCloud and stick my whole iWorld up there. Now that would be some incentive for a hacker....., no?

I will still be backing-up to local HD.

It's up to you, but you do realize someone can equally break into your house and steal your local HD, or a house fire can take it out, etc. etc.

Also, I'd like to see THREADING in Mail.app on iCloud.com.

How does that statement even begin to offer a sensible counter argument, to the question marks regarding online data security and safety?

Do you really think it is easier, or less of a risk and better use of time to break into my house and steal 1 hard disk? The fact is, that breaking into my house and stealing my hard drive is too much effort and risk for the reward.

Also, fire can break out in a data centre, not to mention system outages causing data loss, but at least you have some control over the situation and are responsible for your own possessions.

For example when Apple 'lost' all my emails 'saved' on .mac / mobile me. between 2004-2009, during a .Mac / Mobile me. system update, they offered no solution for the service I paid for every year and 'backed up' on my iDisk! (..same as iCloud...)

This is the response I received :-

Dear XXXXX,

My name is Sylvain, MobileMe Senior Advisor. Based on the information you provided, I understand that approximately all messages prior 2009 were deleted from yourMobileMe account, both locally and on the MobileMe servers. I am sorry to hear that these messages are missing.

Unfortunately we cannot retrieve them for you.

Sincerely,

Sylvain
MobileMe Senior Advisor

Good luck in putting all your egg's (or apples...) in this (free) basket...

Free = No liability of service, in general terms.
 
Get back to some basic essentials...

HELP, if Apple only could realise that people still needed folders, then maybe not so many people (myself included) would have jumped ship to some other cloud solution, I don't know, say like DropBox? I liked iDisk, even though it didn't work as well as DropBox (I have discovered) I would still play for it and use it if it was there!

I wish Apple would stop confusing their desire to move away from a user facing filesystems, and a stubborn denial that people like, need and WANT folders, then people would get more exited about documents in iCloud, right now, they are PANTS!

:mad:

1% of 100 million users is 1 million. that's a fair amount of people affected.

It's not a very useful statistic, agreed. They said less than 1%.

iCloud has 125 million users as of April according to Apple's Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer.

1% is 1,250,000 customers.
0% is 0 customers.

So somewhere between 0 customers and 1,249,999 customers.

Back in the iTools days, 1% was like 5 and half people – no big deal. Now it is far more significant.
 
I won't take Apples web-based systems seriously until they sort this embarrassment that is iMessage. It cannot be hard to implement a system that ties appleID's and telephone numbers together. I'm sick of all the double threads, friend replying to different threads and having to remember which message to use so that replies arrive in the correct place.

Well, the usage of "login to iCloud with the iOS 6 beta" should dispel any thoughts that iOS 6 would be trend-breaking and release in full at WWDC. (I personally never thought that would happen but some people insist it would be different this year)
Click to expand...

By extension, the rest of the timeline will probably be business as usual.

iOS 6 announcement: June 11
Beta ends (3 months): Late September
Next iPhone release: 2-3 days after iOS 6
 
If they could bring back bookmark syncing that would be great.

I'd also like the ability to see my notes, reminders, share photos, have iDisk access again, etc on iCloud.

I bet several million just signed up and don't use it. So the amount actually afffected could still be 5 and a half people.
