Disable the iCloud macOS Sierra while retaining Documents and Desktop on Macbook

Hello

I recently updated my Mac to macOS Sierra and during the installation process I accidentally left the synchronization "Desktop and Documents" on iCloud drive selected. He transferred some of my documents to the iCloud drive and then not others because I don't have enough storage iCloud and record my 'normal' documents is now empty.

I often work without an internet connection, so it is essential that I am able to access all my documents without cloud. I tried to uncheck the 'Jobs' and Documents and "iCloud Drive" in System Preferences, but it left my completely empty folder documents and deleted all the contents of my office.

I panicked because all my documents had disappeared from my computer then I reactivated "iCloud drive" and it is now restore all documents that it removed from my computer.

I was wondering what is the correct way to disable the iCloud drive and recover my documents and desktop in the 'normal' folder and not on iCloud drive without him remove again.

No problem with iCloud drive, just my personal preference is to have saved it on my computer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much

    It is possible that one) you use different software of scans other than HP software for scanning or b) the HP software is different on Windows 7, on Windows XP, because they are completely different operating systems and may be a more recent version of the software.

  • Downloaded the new MacOS Sierra, but cannot install it

    Hello!

    The morning I downloaded the new OS Sierra from AppStore. The download is complete, I started to install. Amidst this, a message appeared and he said I don't have enough hard disk space. Well, fortunately I managed to start the previous operating system and everything works normally.

    The problem is the following- I always update the operating system more recent. I open AppStore, OS Sierra search and it says downloaded. But I can not start the installation process in any case .

    In the finder, I noticed that there are new 'macOS Install Data' folder under Macintosh HD. Should I delete this, so I can re-download from AppStore new OS and then install? Or how can I start the installation again process?

    Thank you!

    Look in your Applications folder for "Install macOS Sierra." This is where the installer is placed when it is downloaded. It is normally deleted once the update is complete, but may still be there.

    I would also say that you look through the problems on this forum other users have experienced so you can decide if you want to join them.

  • To disable the account so they can sign documents even if they do not need to send or create them

    I run into issues with account management for our groups. There are several accounts that have been created where users decide that they do not really need to create documents, but they still need the ability to sign documents that other users create and send their.

    The problem that I am running is that as soon as I disable the user account, they are no longer able to sign a document that is sent to them. Instead, they are being asked to login to their account EchoSign, even if it has been disabled.

    This attitude is contrary to the understanding that there is no need an account only to sign a document that is sent to their email address. We do have enough licenses to simply allow the accounts to remain active when the user does not intend to use them to send documents.

    It seems I'm missing something very basic, because obviously, it should be simple enough to change a users permissions to be able to create documents that he is just able to sign documents they receive. Please lend me any advice you may have on this.

    Hello d0Ryan,

    By default, a signatory didn't need an E-Sign account to sign documents electronically. That being said, if a signer is not an account, then it should be active as inactive accounts cannot provide signatures. In your scenario, if you wish, we can remove users from your account and can convert them to release level so that they have the possibility of esign documents and still does not license paid into your account.

    If this suites you, so please inbox me your EchoSign registered email address, with users who are involved.

    Kind regards

  • How can I disable the JavaScript debugger in my PDF documents?

    Hello

    I do everything I can to disable the debugger JavaScript in my documents created using Adobe Acrobat. Under Acrobat Edit > Preferences, I deselect (uncheck) 'Enable JavaScript debugger after restart Acrobat', 'Activate interactive console' and 'see the console on errors and messages.

    Yet, when I go to advanced > Document processing > JavaScript Debugger, it starts the debugger just!  How can I stop the debugger to start?  Even after the security application strict password to the document where hardly anything other than open it is allowed, Acrobat still allows me to perform advanced options > Document processing > JavaScript debugger and start the debugger.

    I am operating under the assumption that the debugger can allow people to discover my JavaScript source somehow, so I want to keep the debugger cannot be used.  Even if they can't read my source, I don't see any upside to the debugger opens.  How can I disable the debugger to be selectable from the advanced options > processing of the Document?

    Thank you.  I thought it would be a frequently asked question, but I spent a few hours searching without success.

    Dave

    P.S. I use Acrobat 9.1.  I read somewhere that Acrobat X has more ability to disable the debugger.  I saw a mention of "XFA" in this respect, whatever it is.  In any case, if Acrobat X has additional abilities to disable the debugger, let me know.

    As George says there is no way to prevent someone to extract the scripts in a file, if they really want (even if the security is applied to the PDF document, it takes a more circuitous route to get there), but a lot of people will use obfuscation tools to make it a more painful process for the novice. Acrobat does not support encrypted as a result of Creative Suite (JSX - BIN) files, but there are many tools out there that basically take your script, turn it into a complex of references at random clutter and hex strings, then run using a complex function of-jumbler. It is hackable, of course, but unless your code is worth a fortune, it makes it too much like hard work for most of the pirates to bother.

  • We went to MacOS Sierra of El Capitan and now have to log in twice, when we start the computer.

    How fix us this?

    Thank you...

    All the best...

    God bless...

    If you have activated the preferences-> Security-> FileVault system, then you must enter your password initially so that device drivers can decrypt your encrypted drive.  Once the system is running, you must then log into your account.

    They are really 2 separate activities that happen just to use the same password.

  • HP has disabled the turbo boost on i7 2600, 3770 and 3770 k

    Buyers and potential buyers beware. What a great discovery I made. I bought my new Phoenix h9t on day of release of back in January. Mine came with the i7 2600. While recently doing a comparative analysis. Ensuring that my cpu is 100% and all threads as well. Full turbo boost will not be so. HP has locked down to 3.4 GHz stock and won't go higher. Which should be able to go up to 3.8 GHz. If I had known that. I would have returned. Way to late now. It is not cool at all and not announced them this. They actually announce 3.8 GHz turbo boost. I don't know what can be done other than listening HP to unlock via a bios update.

    Ignore the messages. Discovered it amplify only fully when 1 core is 100%. 3.5 GHz is maximum when all 4 cores are maxed.

  • Disable the Tunning &amp; diagnostic packs in oracle 10g and oracle 9i

    Hello

    According to the license agreement, our organization asked to disable the packs tuning & diag on Oracle databases.

    We use versions diff of databases oracle (oracle 9i, 10g, 11g)

    In oracle 11g, we can disable tuning & diag packs using the control_management_pack_access parameter to none.

    How to disable the setting & diag packs in Oracle 10 g and oracle 9i?

    Thank you

    AWR did not exist up to 10g, so I don't think that the diagnosis of EM or Tuning Packs are a problem with 9i.  As mentioned statspack is free and available always in 11g, so it is available for use.  -Mark-
