Apple finally launched iCloud yesterday, which stores your photos, apps, contacts, calendars, and more, and wirelessly pushes it to your iOS devices and computers, automatically keeping everything up to date.With the launch of iCloud, Apple also allows users to redownload music and TV shows to any iOS device just like Apps. However, it is still not possible to redownload movies.The Los Angles Times reports that this may change in the near future as Apple is currently negotiating with major movie studios that will allow iTunes customers to also stream purchased movies to their devices.Apple Inc. is negotiating with Hollywood studios for deals that would let people who buy movies from the iTunes Store watch streaming versions of those movies on Apple devices such as iPads or iPhones without manually transferring them, according to people familiar with the matter.This is not the first time we've heard this possibility. Even before the iCloud launch, we had heard that Apple has been talking to major movie studios in Hollywood over letting users store their movies on Apple's servers thereby letting them access the stored content from a plethora of devices including the iPhone and iPad. The idea, it is said, is to make the devices' hard drive disk space irrelevant by moving all the content the user owns out into the cloud. At that time observers noted that this will help to increase content-purchase among users who may otherwise slow their purchase down for the fear of maxing out their hard drive.According to the report, Apple is close to finalizing deals with the Hollywood studios.Checkout our complete guide on Apple's new iCloud service here.[via Los Angeles Times]TweetRelated PostsiCloud: Apple Signs Deal With Major Music Labels; Negotiating With Film Studios To Include Movies And TV ShowsApple Wants To Stream Movies To iPhone, iPad From iTunes CloudApple’s iCloud To Cost $25 Per Year After Trial Period?Some iCloud Services Maybe Free With Mac OS X LionNew Time Capsule To Get Apple’s A4/A5 Processor; Run iOS And Serve As Local Hub For iCloud
Yesterday was probably Apple's biggest days when it comes to software launches with the release of iCloud - its new cloud based services and iOS 5 - its next generation mobile operating system.Unfortunately, it also meant that there was unprecedented interest from users to download iOS 5 and migrate from MobileMe to iCloud services.It seems to have also exceeded Apple's expectations as things didn't go off that well for Apple, many users had trouble upgrading to iOS 5 and were hitting error 3200 due to the high load on Apple's servers.The Next Web reports that the traffic due to Apple's software updates was so high that it was just not Apple but even the entire internet infrastructure was experiencing difficulties under the load.The traffic at the LONAP (LONAP is a London Neutral Internet Exchange Point where Internet and content providers exchange traffic) increased from a normal peak of around 18Gb/s to around 28Gb/s.Andy Davidson, Director of another London-based network exchange, LONAP, told Cult of Mac:The traffic last night was around twice what we would see on a typical Wednesday evening. There was as much traffic as we would see for a major sporting event (such as England playing in the World or European cups). Such volumes have never been seen before for a software upgrade.Apple also had issues coping with the migration requests coming from users who wanted to move their data from MobileMe to iCloud. They eventually had to limit the number of migrations and requested customers to come back later:Due to high demand, we are temporarily limiting the number of users moving from MobileMe to iCloud. Please try again later. We apologize for any inconvenience.It looks like most of the traffic and with it issues have settled down today, but MacRumors reports that some users are reporting that iCloud mail has been down for some users.This obviously brings back memories of 2007 when Apple launched MobileMe. Let's hope that things settle down quickly.Let us know how was your experience in updating your iOS device/s to iOS 5 and migrating from MobileMe to iCloud.TweetRelated PostsApple Allows Developers To Migrate From MobileMe To iCloud; Gives 25GB iCloud Storage Until June 2012Apple: Web Apps For Mail, Contacts, Calendar And Find My iPhone Will Be Available In iCloudSurvey: Unprecedented Demand For Apple’s iPhone 5iCloud.com Goes LiveSome iCloud Services Maybe Free With Mac OS X Lion
Cards lets you create greeting cards and mail (snail mail) a physical copy to any location in the world. This is the description of the app as seen on Apple's website:
The second app unveiled today was Find My Friends, a location based social networks that does exactly what it says. Where it might be better than Google Latitude, a similar service by Google, are privacy controls. A user can switch off location sharing after a certain time, say 7pm, thus avoiding the hassle of constantly switching the service on and off. The app was in building for quite sometime, as suggested by multiple leaks over the past few months. It would double up as a great addition to Apple's already impressive list of parental control features.Two important questions with regard to Find My Friends:Was this the reason behind the initial rejection of the Google Latitude native app?Now that Apple has GameCenter, Find My Friends and Ping, would they ever merge into a single social network under iCloud?Also Find My iPhone has now been rebranded as Find My Devices to now include Apple's entire device lineup (iOS devices as well as Macs). As Dan Frommer points out, this was Apple's second keynote in a row where iAds wasn't mentioned, nor was Ping or the iPod classic.So are you going to wait for a jailbreak or update right away?TweetRelated PostsApple Seeds iTunes 10.5 Beta 8 And iWork For iOS Beta 3 To Developers; Tells Them To Get Apps Ready for iCloud Backup & RestoreMore Evidence Of Apple’s ‘Find My Friends’ ServiceApple: Web Apps For Mail, Contacts, Calendar And Find My iPhone Will Be Available In iCloudApple Seeds Mac OS X 10.7.2 Build 11C55 With iCloud Beta; Reopens iTunes Match Beta For DevelopersApple Working To Secure Worldwide iCloud Music Rights Ahead Of ‘Let’s Talk iPhone’ EventPosted by Rounak on October 04, 2011 in Apple News, iCloud, iOS 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone Applications: iPhone Apps, Jailbreak Apps, iPhone Web Apps | Permalink|Comments (5) Comments
