        Finn, turn on iCloud syncing, you'll never lose your contacts.

          I think Finn could still manage too.  When it comes to tech, he has the opposite of the Midas touch….

              I have a One X. If you're going to use it as a backup, make sure you have the charger handy (or a spare battery). Battery life is abysmal.

                thanks for letting me know mate!

                back to apple though…
                first time (don't know why) I'm trying to back up from the iPhone and it says that I only have 5GB iCloud space free to back up my shit! have pictures of almost 11GB alone on it...is it "normal" that one is able to actually buy more iCloud space if needed?

                sry for the noob question y'all 😃

                  Finn,
                  u can use Dropbox or Google Drive to backup ur photo upload. u can direct upload once after you took a photo.

                      I just found ur previous post and i m not sure u already knew or not. if u hv One X, u can get 25 GB space on Dropbox when u register from One X. And another option for contact backup is on Gmail. more easy to organize and sync.

                          thanks a lot guys!

                          another question though 🙂
                          since I only have 5GB free iCloud space, is it a problem if I turn off the "camera roll" now (as seen in the following pics) just so that I have enough space to update the other things such as contacts etc. or would I lose the camera roll data then?
                          imo it's just not getting saved while backing up, right? thx…

                            Hi Finn,

                            I suggest turning of Camera Roll for iCloud. To sync your photos, enable PHOTO STREAM (not exactly sure where that option is). That will automatically push the latest photos to the cloud (but not using iCloud). You then enable it in iPhoto on your laptop and it'll auto download your photos to iPhoto.

                            If you wish to get in/on cloud backup for your laptop, which is a different thing all together, I also suggest backblaze. Dropbox is great for specific files/folders, Backblaze is like $50AUD a year for unlimited backup/restores. It's safety incase my laptop gets stole, that's all. Dropbox is useful for file sharing, and syncing between devices.

                            Hopefully your specific question is answered (turn off camera roll, turn on PhotoStream on your photo and iPhoto on your laptop). DM if any Q's.

                              Photo Stream already enabled, gonna disable Camera Roll now and try to back up on iCloud without my pics then…should do the trick I think! also if I want to save the (6k+) pics, it shouldn't be a problem...

                                    So ah, IOS 7 looks pretty great. New typographic design, the Command Console will be a lovely life-saver, Parallax and 3D looks nice. Multi-tasking like from the Palm Pre makes me swoon (I used to rock the pre). Good times, good times.

                                    OSX Mavericks nothing overly amazing.

                                    The new MBA's and MP both look awesome. I rock the MBA as my work laptop, might shake some funds out for it in a bit….

                                        I'm a little bit torn on iOS 7 from a design perspective but love the functionality.

                                        Think it, be it.

                                          I absolutely love the new look of ios 7 and it has added in most of the functionality I jailbreak for so I'm stoked on that.

                                          Mavericks though, oh boy am I excited for Mavericks.  As a frequent user of multiple monitors when I'm developing, I'm really looking forward to the better support/functionality for using multiple monitors added by 10.9. OSX has never really handled that well and it looks like Apple is finally addressing it.
