• Help with Icloud locked iPad Apple?

  First of all, I am disabled and wanted to get my kids something nice. I found a deal on OfferUp for 3 Ipad mini and bought them. They were all on the first Setup screen as if they were new. I drove home excited and went to turn them on, and he's stuck on the activation screen. I've searched high and low to try to find a solution for this and have not found one thing. I feel very fuzzy and not only by the person who sold these for me but by Apple too. Their are thousands of people who treats this what I read and it's a mistake.

  Right now I just want to know if Apple really helps getting them going again or not, and Yes, I have all the emails and screenshots to prove that I bought these the guy on OfferUp. Thanks for the replies.

  They help, only potentially, if you were the original purchaser of the iPad and had proof of purchase (e.g. an original receipt with their serial numbers on it)-it won't help with second hand machines, you will need to contact the person you purchased in origin, only he or she can potentially remove them from their account (disable find them my iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support).

• With the help of pictures with iCloud

  I have a problem with the use of the photos and iCloud which I can't solve alone...

  I love the feature that when I snap a photo on my iPhone, it shows up on my other devices as well. However, it is much, results use all my ability to iPhones. I want to be able to remove the 'local' storage of the photo in my iPhone, but still be able to view in my iPhone. How do I do that? After all, isn't that what iCloud's all about?

  ICloud-storage is full, I want to remove too much iCloud and keep only locally on my MacBook for display. How remove the photo from iCloud, but always keep locally on my Mac? And if I don't want to use photos as my photo Manager, how do I take their 'out' photos and store them in the form of directive on my Mac?

  I'm afraid that if I simply enter the photos app on any of my devices and try to remove a photo from iCloud, remove them permanently. How to avoid this?

  I hope someone can help me with this problem!

  With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

  Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

  buy an iphone 5s by amazon and I came with iCloud blocked an account... I called the seller and does not that I do that I'm from Venezuela please need your help

  No one here can help you. The device is locked activation. Since you have made the purchase by Amazon, you can check with them to see if they will stand behind it. No one on the forum, or Apple can help you remove the lock. Only the previous owner can do this. I suggest that you demand a refund, so let's start a claim with Amazon about this dealer.

• Photos on macOS Sierra: Album of peoples does not synchronize with iCloud photo library

  Using Photos has just been updated for Sierra, and we finally have it in writing:

  https://help.Apple.com/photos/Mac/1.2/?lang=en#/phtf5e48489c

  Note: Persons identified in the album people are not synchronized between devices.

  And as far as I know, it really does not synchronize between my libraries of Photos on the MacBook Pro and my iMac.

  It's different in the 10 user guide iOS for the iPhone and iPad:

  http://help.Apple.com/iPhone/10/#/iph9c7ee918c

  People are synchronized between devices where you are connected with the same Apple ID.

  I wonder how this is supposed to work, if a Mac and iPhone are synchronized with iCloud User Library.

  None of the faces that I named on my iPhone did sync it with my Mac.

  Another indication that the lack of synchronization of the people and names is deliberate:

  This document has now also been updated:

  Use iCloud photo library on several Mac - Apple Support computers and Photos

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204486

  After have connected you, these items appear in the Photos app on all your Mac computers:

  • All photos and original videos
  • All folders and albums
  • Smart albums
  • Keywords
  • Memories
  • Key photo selections

  He used to say, tags searchable faces will perform synchronization between devices, but the tags are more is mentioned. Now we have the 'memories' instead.

• Removal of old photos of the iPhone with iCloud photo library on

  I had a 6 128 GB iPhone for a couple of years and I bought a Macbook Pro about a year ago. I've been running iCloud photo library - but not Photostream - and without really look deep into the settings exactly, when I take pictures on my phone they usefully automatically found in the Photos app on my macbook. When I remove photos from my phone, they also seem to disappear too from my mac.

  Recently, in an arrangement of happy until I started running low on space on my phone. My question is, is my library in 'mirror' between my devices? IE if I say, delete all my photos from 2012 to 2014 my phone, they are removed from my macbook too? Obviously, it would be disastrous.

  I guess my question is, what are the best settings to have a situation where my photos will be driven by my phone to my laptop, but then stored on my laptop indefinitely?

• Photos OSX stop synch with iCloud

  Hello

  Photos OSX stop synch with iCloud.

  In the shared tab is this message:

  iCloud, photo sharing is available only in the library of the system

  I had this problem after a major accident that force me to do a clean install.

  In my iPhone and MacAir iCloud is in sync, no problem at all.

  I have two older library Photos that are not in use. The two libraries don't synch.

  Appreciate any help

  In the shared tab is this message:

  iCloud, photo sharing is available only in the library of the system

  You have activated your current photo as photo library system library?

  You do cela Photos > Preferences > General.

  The option 'Use as a Photo library system' should be shaded to indicate that it is your system photo library.  As a library, gave the Photo library system, can be synchronized with iCloud.

  Photos of preferences > general should look like this, when you use the library that you want to synchronize to iCloud.

  

  Photo library system must not be on a drive used by Time Machine.

• Library of mobile Photos with iCloud library enabled

  TL; DR: Library of Photos while using iCloud does not merge, but adds the entire library to iCloud, once again, in my case upgrade my plan of storage while plenty of space for this merger

  All,

  I have been using iCloud photo library for a long time now to synchronize photos between devices, and.

  I'm running out of space in the drive of my Mac, and I wanted to move the library to the SD card, so I followed the steps to copy the folder and then selecting the alt-click on the Photos icon library.

  It works, all (or most) of the exhibition of photos very well.

  When I go into Preferences > iCloud he says "iCloud for Photos features are available in the library of the system", so I go to Preferences > general and click 'Use as library system' which I think is the correct step since I don't want to spend the entire hard drive and SD card is always connected (it's a Transcend JetDrive Lite 330 enough to store things I don't usually work) (such as photos, music, files ISO and VMs). ICloud options are available click on, so I check 'iCloud photo library' and then it starts to redownload my entire library

  

  Since the library is the same, I wasn't expecting to download and let me upgrade my iCloud-storage plan. I did, for fear of deleting something, but I have always received a lot of space in my 50 GB plan that I can see in system preferences > iCloud (using the ~ 37 GB).

  

  This is the expected behavior and what I need to download again, all my photos? They're all here already!

  

  Are there additional steps to follow when moving the library AND iCloud is activated? I sure miss what is obvious, but I followed all the steps described in official documents and other internet resources, nothing helps, that is: no way to avoid the double space in iCloud so spend my iCloud storage plan.

  Since the library is the same, I wasn't expecting to download and let me upgrade my iCloud-storage plan. I did, for fear of deleting something, but I have always received a lot of space in my 50 GB plan that I can see in system preferences > iCloud (using the ~ 37 GB).

  This is the expected behavior and what I need to download again, all my photos? They're all here already!

  Yes.

  Photos will download the library once again, because it cannot be sure that the library has moved is completely identical.  It is downloaded again and check for duplicates. Once the download is complete, you use more storage than before iCloud, but it will take a lot of time.

  But it shouldn't be necessary to upgrade the storage plan. You should be able to demote him again as soon as the download is complete.

  What I do, when I want to move the library to a new location is to create a new empty library on the new drive and then turn on the library empty as the iCloud photo library. The library will be downloaded icloud in the empty library instead of download. It's faster and avoid the prompt to upgrade storage iCloud. But the drawback is that I need to name all the faces again, given that the faces does not synchronize to iCloud. And the projects will be missing.  I'm keeping a copy of the original library in the new location, so I can use old projects and can find faces in the event of doubt about a name.

• Need help with Macbook

  Hello, I recently bought a Macbook from a friend and since I got the Mac it's very very slow at doing things like browsing the internet using Safari, it takes forever to load, web pages and all sorts of things that I'd like to get help with this problem maybe a few recommendations and also on how to speed up... If you need to care about Macbook, I can give these thx.

  To sell or transfer ownership of a Mac, even to a member of your family, you must follow these instructions. So far, you will have continuous problems.

  Refer to what to do before you sell or give away your Mac

  1. If you have enabled FileVault, disable it in system preferences > Security and privacy.
  2. "Remove" your iTunes account. Ditto for Audible if you have one.
  3. System Preferences > iCloud > deselect 'Back to My Mac' and 'find my Mac '.
  4. Disconnect from iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.

  Next: delete all of your personal information by erasing the internal storage of the Mac completely.

  1. If your Mac comes with a grey system installation DVD, start up your Mac with this disc in the optical drive, all holding the key c to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which must be erased before selling.
     • Apple stopped Macs shipment requiring these discs in August 2011.
  2. If your Mac does not comes with disks, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
     • using three fingers press on and hold the following keys: ⌘(command), optionand R.
     • With a fourth finger, press the power button to turn on the Mac.
     • Keep the other three fingers here where they are until you see the icon "spinning globe.
     • This method force the Mac to download BONES initially installed from Apple servers, that won't require not an Apple ID install.
  3. Remove any password Open Firmware, if you created a: select utility password firmware in the Utilities menu and remove.
  4. Select disk utility from the utilities menu.
  5. Delete all partitions that can be created.
  6. Select the icon for the hard drive to the Mac, and then select the tab "delete".
  7. Click on the 'Security Options' button and erase the drive.
     • More "robustly" you erase the disc, the longer it will.
     • The fastest method is sufficient, since all but the techniques more expensive and equipment will be able to recover data deleted safely.
  8. When he finishes, quit disk utility.
  9. In the utility menu, select Install Mac OS X .
     • An identifier Apple won't be necessary. If a prompt for an Apple ID, return to step 5.
     • Do not create user accounts.
  10. When he finishes, shut down the computer.
  11. If you want to install the bundled apps that have been included with your Mac, restart using your DVD Applications if it was included and install the bundled apps.
      • Apps, delivered with the new Macs sold without disks cannot be transferred. His new owner must buy them from the Mac App Store with its own Apple ID.

  If the Mac is sold to someone outside the family, consider the following additional information:

  1. System provided with your Mac installation DVD must stay with him forever and be included in the sale.
  2. Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, documents printed, same box if you have.
     • AppleCare remains with the equipment and can be transferred.
  3. Run an invoice indicating the serial number of the Mac.
  4. Once is no longer in your possession, remove the Mac of your devices in my support profile.

• 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.

  How to test a question in another account on your Mac.

  See you soon!
