Get to grips with iCloud

Hello.  New Mac user (El Capitan, Mac Mini OSX) to come here, away from the windows and very happy to be here.

The use of cloud storage is new to me and I confused me.  I recently created my iCloud account after using Notes for a few weeks.  Today, I opened the Notes to find it empty, all my notes went.  I looked on the iCloud, under 'Notes' and they all were there.

The problem is, I don't know how they came all of a sudden it or why.  I took no steps to download and now I can't access it through desktop application.  I found I can create new notes, but this seems to dismiss the desktop application.

I don't understand how this sync thing works, and since I have a lot of other files that I want to keep on the spot, it makes me feel anxious in case it starts past to other files and applications.

Is it possible to get my notes of storage iCloud?

Try going into Preferences system/iCloud, log and check information on synchronization.

  • Still not get 2016 Outlook and Contacts calendar to synchronize with iCloud. iCloud data file has not been in Outlook but iCloud add-in is enabled.

    I use Windows 10 (v1511), 2016 Outlook Office 365 and iCloud 5.2. Mail is downloaded directly to Google mail Outlook. Calendar and Contacts live in iCloud and work properly in my iPhone, iPad and the app iCloud on the PC. Its just perspective that is not sync with iCloud to get these items.

    In outlook, the Setup program is not set up a data iCloud file ' * APLZOD.pst ' in the account tab data file settings. When you try to install a new data file in Outlook in account settings, the iCloud type available, but when you select what the error message says that this cannot be set in the iCloud Control Panel

    I tried several complete removal and then re - installs to iCloud for windows and have also done with the firewall and antivirus disabled active.

    I also deleted the Outlook data file * *.ost and allowed the installation program rebuild this application fee.

    The iCloud "add to" Outlook "add-ins" is active.

    The calendar, Contacts and tasks of the iCloud Panel section is checked when re-built, but after Outlook is running this section has not been verified and when you try to check it out and apply the change he UN-checks itself.

    Sorry for the long post, but I tried to solve this problem for some time.

    Thank you

    The same problem.  I use iCloud for Windows 5.2 and Windows 10, 2016 office.   Everything worked well for several months until a few months ago, when sync calendar has stopped working.   I've updated iCloud of 5.1 to 5.2 but that just killed altogether.  Tried uninstalling icloud and relocation costs.  No luck.  When the iCloud settings appears, I check the box for the calendar and Contacts.  The driver then disappears.   I check again and it sticks.  But no messages on 'configure '.   When I close and reopen, the box is unchecked.   A few days ago I had the same problems the other another thread where he would show "set up" spinning forever (well, 30 minutes before giving up).   Not sure if it's an Apple problem or a problem of office.  But this is of course a problem.

    What, in particular, looking to sync with the Mac iCloud? If you mean things like Contacts, calendars, Notes, etc., then you want to go in under the  system preferences, click the iCloud and connect to iCloud there with your iCloud ID. Then select which items you want to sync'd via iCloud.

  • iCal on my mac, then merge with iCloud

    I would like to use iCal to automate a task every night, I tried to do it via iCal. I want iCl to open a specific program to save my catalog of photography at a specific time (while I'm asleep), then close in the morbibg until I wake up. I used the custom alert to do, who works for a day or two, then iCloud removes the custom alert and all I'm left with is a reminder without action.

    Ideally, I would like to create a reminder that "on my mac" as I don't want this reminder popping up on my other Apple devices, because it is no longer relevant to my 27 iMac (my work computer).

    I tried to create a calendar that is only "on my mac" that I did it by disabling the iCloud, make a schedule, creating personalized with custom alarm, reminder and then turning power on. The only problem is iCloud absorbs only nine "on my mac" calendar and eventually turns off the custom alert, so I'm no further forward in doing so.

    Please can anyone help because it's so boring. Why did you take this Apple? Not everyone wants everything in the iCloud all the time!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello daxdavies,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I know have a problem with the calendar on your Mac app, it's not what you expect. As I understand it, you can't make and keep a schedule "on my Mac", as when you activate the iCloud "on my Mac" gets merged with iCloud calendar and gets synchronized on your other devices. Personally, I've tested this and couldn't replicate, so here is what I suggest to identify and solve your problem:

    1. use Mode without fail to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks, remove files from the system cache, check your startup disk and trying to fix problems if necessary directory. Test this problem by disabling your iCloud calendar and create the event and a timetable "on my Mac" then restart your Mac and reactivating the iCloud calendar.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning
    Graphics performance limited in recovery of OS X or in safe mode

    2. If you are still experiencing a problem, you can know if unexpected behavior is related to the user file or a parameter in trying to reproduce the problem to another user account. This process includes creating a new user account, connect to it and test for the issue.

  • Computer I have Sync'd with is death - can I now back up / synchronize with iCloud and still have everything?

    Pretty much like what it says. Previously synced 100% with laptop computer (iTunes, photos, videos, etc.) which now shows the blue screen of death permanently.

    If I now go back to iCloud synchronization / backup on my phone, will I have all since it's all on my phone to start?

    Portable ITunes was there music I ripped and realize that is probably a separate issue. I have off-site backup which I can access once I get a new laptop.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can activate the backup to iCloud and it backs up your phone as it is currently. See following information from backups for iOS - Apple Support devices for details of what is included:

    With a wireless network connection, you can make a backup of your device using iCloud. You don't need to connect your device to a computer or even be home to save with iCloud.

    iCloud backups include virtually all the data and parameters stored on your device. iCloud backups do not include:

    • Data already stored in iCloud, like Contacts, calendars, Notes, My Photo Stream and iCloud photo library
    • Data stored in other cloud services, such as Gmail and Exchange email
    • Settings and information Apple pay
    • Tap Settings ID
    • iCloud library and App Store content (if it is still available in the iTunes, App, or iBooks Store, you can type to re - download your content already purchased.)

  • How to manage a large library of Photos with iCloud

    I have an iMac with a 1 TB drive. El Capitan.

    I have a library of Photos that is 450 GB.

    I use NOT currently in iCloud photo library.

    Library to backup to external hard drive.

    I would switch to 500 GB SSD drive, so I need to cut the pictures library to adapt.

    I tried to read as much information, but I'm still not clear on some points.

    Hard to test on the great library.

    Traverse and the cleaning of a large library of Photo are your time, I'm looking for less than hands on options.

    My thought:

    1. upgrade to iCloud 1 TB storage Plan

    2. turn on iCloud photo library (original leave) and wait a few days/weeks/months to the great library to synchronize with iCloud.

    3. turn on iCloud photo library (optimized) on iPhone and iPad to synchronize all libraries and get all the originals to iCloud and then the iMac

    Q1. How much space will be a large library as it takes on an iOS device. I'm afraid that even an optimized library will fill 64 GB device.

    (I know that's dependent on media, but just looking for a guideline for iOS, I think OS X is 9to1)

    4. once everything is synchronized, copy the photo library in DHM (properly formatted) as a backup.

    5. start the on EHD photo library to ensure the proper functioning.

    6. allow photo library on iMac as the synchronized library. Don't want to keep always connected DHM.

    7 change library Photos optimized on the computer and let the full synchronization.

    This should give me a library optimized on the iMac and a complete library on the EHD.

    However, since the EHD are not the Central Library for iCloud synchronization, it will remain not being updated.

    Q2. Can I create another user account on the iMac with my iCloud settings and using EHD originals full as the main library?

    That would allow me to periodically plug JEP, throw the other user account and let pictures synchronize updates and get new originals.

    This would be mainly used as a backup plan, so I rely not only on iCloud himself.

    Is this a reasonable plan or I'm far from base.

    Kind regards

    Q1. How much space will be a large library as it takes on an iOS device. I'm afraid that even an optimized library will fill 64 GB device.

    (I know that's dependent on media, but just looking for a guideline for iOS, I think OS X is 9to1)

    My library has only about 200 GB on the Mac, with 40000 photos, but it's horrible on the iPad in an optimized version. Size is fine, he has been reduced to about 10% of its original size, but work with Photos is a pain, if each photo is just a fuzzy image and needs icloud download to view properly. Sometimes it takes a minute or more to recover the photo, so it is impossible to browse photos or making a slide show.  On the iPad, I returned to sync with iTunes, the albums selected. On the iPhone, it's not so bad, because the screen is smaller, and blurring is tolerable.

    Q2. Can I create another user account on the iMac with my iCloud settings and using EHD originals full as the main library?

    You can do it from your normal user account. Alternate between libraries and to the iCloud photo library on the external drive.

    It will be easier than permission risk issues when you access a library of two different user accounts.

    If you want to reduce the size of the internal Player library quickly, remove the library on internally, after that you are sure that the copy on the external hard drive is working properly.  Create a new library on the internal disk and make your iCloud Photo Library., optimized. The library will download in an optimized way and be much smaller to begin with.

  • Why does my iPad last an extremely long time to save with iCloud (I have fast wifi)

    Hello

    MY iPad takes about 21 hours, both for the backup with iCloud

    even though I have the fast wifi, that it does not load and it doesn't

    Back up when my iPad is blocked and connected to the power supply

    I'm 9.3.3 IOS IPad Mini 3 beta

    Please help, thanks

    Sometimes you get a bad connection to Apple servers. Sometimes the backup just hangs.

    There is no reason to wait any longer than it does normally. Restart your computer, so iTunes and reset your iDevice, then try again.

    Reset: hold the Home and Power buttons until you see the Apple logo (10 to 20 seconds).

  • Photos about El Capitan with iCloud library active lose local photos?

    Recently, I wanted to use iCloud library to have a backup of my personal memories cloud. I had my library set up in the Photos of El Capitan and allowed iCloud photo library. It is still downloading but I have known a few disruptive effects.

    Then, suddenly, I realize that a few pictures and movies have an exclamation point. Clicking on it it tells me that the photo was not able to find the original file, or sometimes he says he wasn't able to download the original to iCloud and I should try again later.

    The thing is: I'm on the Mac, where is the main library of Photos. Must download from here. He is the master copy. Why pictures removed some local files in the first place and try to upload them to iCloud again when he should just have this file on the local hard drive? This happened to someone?

    By logging into iCloud.com and go in the Photos app, I can see the movie file is there. So he managed to download there, thank God. But how can I re - link the file missing to this copy iCloud again?

    Here are my questions for this situation.

    (1) is it possible to create a smart album showing me all the pictures to what Photos can't find the local file? An album with all the pictures and movies that have an exclamation point?

    (2) is it possible to reconnect a file missing a copy in iCloud? Where can I download the file from iCloud and re-connect the missing file of Photos in a local file on my hard drive? Or do I need to import it back this picture and put manually into any album that I had it in earlier?

    (3) is this normal download process? Pictures downloading images and movies to iCloud, then delete the original or download the file from iCloud? Is it a problem of weird first sync that will resolve itself once I have let the download process to iCloud finish? But why deleted pictures from the file in the first place? This seems odd to me.

    (4) if nothing helps and I see that iCloud got all original and everything is there, but local library refuses to get the original to iCLoud files, how can I reset my local iPhoto library and redownload all icloud without endangering my album, photos, videos and all the settings and changes I made?

    Thanks for your help! It's really appreciated.

    1 - iCloud iPhoto Library s not a backup - it is a method of sharing to ensure that libraries on multiple devices are the same - all changes made on any device are made on all

    2 - doe photos not "remove" anything - users - if something is missing it's because of the action of the user

    3 - Although what you see does not sound as if it was your problem before you start making changes allow the process to complete stabilize - during the downloading process things can be wobbly

    4. There is no smart album to identify the missing originals

    5. in the preferences Photos do youhave that it set to download the originals on the Mac or use photos optimized?

    6 - did you do any cleaning system or run software cleaning as MacKeeper or CleanMyMac (Hint - NOT - they are not necessary and can spoil things wrong)

    leave again once the process completed before you make changes - one each thing is downloaded and stable then return for further assistance if you need

  • iPhone Sync with iCloud

    It's a LONG story how this happened but long story short, my iPhone and my iPad are not synchronized my computer with iCloud. I have two Photo files.  We're from iPhoto and the other Photos.  I wish they had not changed the cause of software now, it's REALLY complicated things.

    I have a LOT of photos on my iPhone, I don't want to lose.  I'm afraid to get in iCloud, because I am ignorant what will happen.  Delete the photos on my iPhone and he just put the pictures located in iCloud on my phone or what?

    Best Buy Dang screwed cela all this.  I NEVER have them sync two new computers again. I'll ALWAYS have the Apple Store do so in the future.

    That

    I was as ignorant and do not postpone my iPhotos on Photos when it was new.  So now, it's REALLY complicated!  *: groan *.

  • copy in iphone to another iphone with icloud

    I need to copy my photos, video, music, messages from my old iphone 4s to my new iphone 6 more, is it possible using icloud?

    Yes - it's very simple:

    1. make sure that the iOS on your new phone is the same or higher than the iOS on iPhone 4S that you will be a copy since. If the new phone is running an iOS which is lower than that of your iPhone 4 s. implement the new phone without using a backup, update of iOS, and then clear the new phone by following the instructions in step 2 below before restoration:

    1. backup your current device to iCloud, check that the backup is successful

    2. on your new device, if not on the screen "Hello" (if you see a homescreen instead), go to settings > general > reset > erase all content and settings to clear the unit. Once you see the Hello screen, follow the instructions and when asked, sign in using your iCloud ID and the password.

    3. you will be asked if you want to restore from a backup, select the backup you want to restore from and the kickoff of the restore process.

    4. check every now and then to ensure that it does not ask one password to another code that may have purchases or existing media on your iPhone that try to download to your new device.

    5. the restoration will end while applications complete the download. You can use it once the screen displays home, but don't get not impatient with apps that are download - they can take a long time. If one seems to hold everything up, delete it. You can always re - download later.

    Good luck
