Help! Accidentally, I dragged iCloud desktop and he lost!
Hello
I recently moved almost ALL my files to iCloud... and today I'm afraid, I took the iCloud icon in the Finder and dragged to the desktop, thinking he would become available as an icon there, while he just disappeared in a nice little animation of a cloud of smoke!
I just lost all my files?
Can I restore it?
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer...
Choose Preferences from the Finder menu, click on the tab of the sidebar and check the box for her.

iCloud Desktop Drive and Documents folders
Just updated to Sierra and thought, it would be a nice feature to be able to back up desktop and Documents folders to iCloud. However, this isn't really what he does... Instead it moves to your desktop and Documents folders to iCloud Drive. Using your desktop and Documents folders disappear favorites. Likely, it erases the hard disk space, but this isn't what I wanted. I wanted to work on my files on my hard drive and for these to be synchronized / mirror in iCloud. As I don't do real work on the files in these folders on any other device than my MacBook Pro, having these files available by other devices was not important to me.
Now my questions are:
(1) Will Time still Machine back up these two folders which are now in the cloud?
(2) if I want to recover these files on my hard drive (my computer > users > user My > Documents/Desktop), what is the best way to proceed?
(3) is there a clever way to use iCloud in the way I intended?
Hello tormod v.,
Thank you for your question about iCloud Drive and Sierra here in Apple Support communities. I understand how iCloud is important, and how the features can sometimes confusing, especially when things like the new macOS Sierra and iCloud combing Drive.
The first thing we want to make sure is that all your data is safe. You can perform a backup using Time Machine and an external hard drive. Some people recommend an external hard drive twice the size of your internal hard drive, because finally he fills with the backups, but as long as you have a car large enough to store all the data currently on your Mac that will suffice. Use this article to help make a backup of your Mac: use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac. To answer your first question, now that these files and folders are in iCloud drive, those who will be saved differently and separate Time machine. To do this, please open this help article: Archive or make copies of your data to iCloud under the first section, titled 'the Documents and files of the iCloud drive '. You will need to download them to the computer again and then make a Time Machine backup, display instructions.
To get these files on your desktop, go ahead and disable the function of the iCloud drive option in system preferences. Then, after the warning, go ahead and drag and drop your iCloud Drive, return to your computers local documents files and/or folders of office. Move this disk to iCloud files and put them on your computer.
You last question has been answered by yourself and the article I post above to make an archive or copies of your data to iCloud. iCloud and iCloud drive aren't backups. Yes, you can make backups of iOS and save them in iCloud, but to perform a live backup of all your files and folders, they must be located on the internal hard drive or external hard drive connected to your Mac, and that external hard drive is not excluded from backups in the preferences of Time Machine.
Thanks again and have a great rest of your day.

Hello
Following methods and check if that helps.
Method 1:Step 1:
Start your computer in safe mode and check if it starts very well.
Step 2:If the system starts in safe mode, then there would be a third-party software, causing the issue to occur. I wish that you start your machine in a clean boot State. Clean boot helps eliminate conflicts of third party software.
Note: Follow step 7 to your computer as usual.
Method 2:
If this does not help, you can perform System Restore in safe mode.

Drag and drop question - Desktop and USB
Hello!!
I have an Asus laptop that I bought in September with Windows 8 is installed. I saw drag and drop questions on desktop lately, and I'll provide you with a full run down of what past:
1. this particular case, I wanted to save my mobile by copying and pasting all the files from my phone to a USB (USB Kingston).
2. I selected all files, right click to copy, open the folder that I made in the USB for my phone content and do a right-click Paste.
3. nothing's happened, Explorer seems to have frozen, so I opened the Task Manager and press end task, all closed and restarted my laptop.
4. I have excluded that my phone was the issue. I was able to create a folder on my desktop and copy and paste all of the content of my phone in the folder on my desktop.
5. I tried to copy and paste / drag and drop an image from my office to the flash drive. Explorer Windows freezes on the rise again.
6. I tried another flash drive. Explorer Windows froze again.
Apparently I'm unable to copy files ON a USB key, which makes the backup and backup of things a headache because Windows Explorer stops working every time.
I am the only user of this laptop, and I don't know what is happening or what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Windows 8.1 upgrade would solve this problem?
Hi Karthik,
1. There is no error message.
2. I tried earlier drag - move my documents to my flash drive and it works perfectly.
I just tried again to drag and drop from my office to my flash drive and for some reason, it works again.
I don't think that was with my flash drives, but with Windows Explorer itself. Nevertheless, it seems to have fixed itself somehow. Thank you very much for your help!

When iCloud calendars and Contacts synchronize with desktop 2016?
When iCloud calendars and Contacts synchronize with desktop 2016?
I have the same exact question. IM an Apple user. Only Apple hardware. Everything is in iCloud and services from Apple except for all my data located in OneDrive and I use Microsoft Office (office 2016, on and off line) applications. Do not use mail.app, my iCloud mail is sent to my address outlook.com and I get all my email through Outlook applications.
I have a sync going on between my iCloud (family) calendars and contacts so that they will become visible in all applications to use them, Microsoft Office Online on the web and in applications on my devices as well.
From today or yesterday, it appears than iCloud for Windows now supports mail, contacts, calendars and reminders in Outlook 2007 even though 2016. But do I need a PC running Windows with Outlook installed to achieve this synchronization is going? It works if not where can I get the synchronization goes without having to use a Windows PC?

Documents &; files transferred to iCloud Desktop
Even though I am quite certain that I refused the option move these two folders to iCloud when I was installing Sierra, that's where they found themselves. What setting change in order to get back them on my hard drive? A screenshot would be useful.
If I keep these two folders in iCloud, are they get saved anywhere else? I run time machine on my Mac.
Under the checkbox for "Optimize Mac Storage", it says "the whole contents of iCloud drive is stored on the Mac if you have enough space." I use 500G of 3 t of my Mac's hard drive. My iCloud drive is < 50. Assuming that there is enough space, where on the hard drive of the Mac would be content to iCloud album stored?
Thanks for your help.
What I found on my Mac, office files and Documents are still exactly where they were and with all my documents in them. They are simply not displayed in the home folder in Finder.
For gory details, see my post on this (bottom of page 2) subject: Re: Documents TRANSFERRED to iCloud
I'll see what happens when I disable Desktop, Documents and report.
Update: when you disable Desktop and Documents, it warns you that the contents of these two files will be available in iCloud drive. In my view, that he also warned me when he finished the dissociation.
You can then drag the content of office files and Documents in the desktop and Documents folder to your folder. It warns that the files will be removed iCloud drive.
As the backup, the files still exist, in my home office and Documents, records and those records were not hidden system files, so they should get backed up.
I have not tested if Time Machine was dedicated to not save them or not.

Can I remove icloud Desktop &; Documents?
If I download my Desktop folds and Documents under the Sierra to my iCloud drive - what happens if I stop?
Specifically - will have local copies of the documents on my Mac? They will return to my Home Directory? The returned files will reflect any changes or new files download to iCloud?
When you turn off the computer and Office Documents, your files reside in iCloud by car, and a new folder is created on your Mac. You can move files to iCloud drive to your Mac as you need it, or select all the files and make them drag to the location that you want to keep them.
