iCloud seems OK in that it keeps my contacts and calendar in sync between my MacBookPro and iMac
but how do you bloody reinstate all your contacts and calendar if it goes down OR you do not want to use it anymore
The only way I have found to back up the Calendar is to back up EACH Calendar separately ....... which is really a bind if you are running say 8 calendars within the same iCal
also I am finding it impossible to reinstate my Contacts and Calendars to non iCloud apps as even if I export and import the files they come back as iCloud files
My worry is that if iCloud goes down I will loose all
Also the only way I now seem to be able to get Calendar and Contacts info onto my ancient ipod is to (buy another) as the OS X on the thing is so out of date and because all my Contacts are now in the Cloud when I try to sync the ipod with my MBP using iTunes there is no data there that it can find, (it is all "on the Cloud" and presumably "hidden" somewhere in the Apple money making machine)
I wish that I never started with the bloody thing
Any comments, of the useful type, would be appreciated
(as usual any help on the Apple web site is as obtuse as ever)
