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.

  • Replace .mac account shared with iCloud separate accounts.

    Hello

    I'm looking for advice on how best to clean up the mess created by our continued use of our ancient .mac account.

    My wife and I have had an account .mac since 2005.  Our e-mail addresses are aliases that are associated with this account.  It's messy.

    My wife and I would like to have separate accounts .icloud but, if possible, do not want to give up e-mail addresses that we had for 11 years.  Is this possible?  We also want to make the transition without complicating our existing .mac account settings. For example, our children now have their own accounts of .icloud that are related to the original address of .mac as part of a family sharing.

    Thank you!

    Using more an iDevice on the same computer

    This mainly applies to couples who add another device and don't want their electronic mail, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To start reading: How to use several iPhone, iPad or iPod devices with one computer. You must create a login separate Apple and password for anyone who will use the new iDevice. See Apple - my Apple ID and frequently asked questions about the Apple ID. The easiest way is to do it on the computer using iTunes: iTunes - how to set up an Apple ID iTunes.

    On the computer, create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This is the user account always uses this person. He or she will no longer use the other user account. This way the person will have a separate iTunes library. Note When finished, do not 'share' apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must buy your own applications under your own Apple ID. When you decide to divide like this you will have to buy new applications they want to use.

    First, transfer the new devices to a new account as well as all your data.  Save pictures of flow picture you want to keep for your camera (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap Albums icon at the bottom. Now press the album My Photo Stream; Press Select; tap the photo you want to select. tap the share (box with the face up arrow) in the lower left corner icon; in the film, and then click Save.

    If you synchronize notes with iCloud, you want to keep, you must open each of your notes and email it to yourself. Later, you can copy and paste the text into the new notes created in your new account.

    Tap Settings > iCloud > remove account (removes it only from this device, not iCloud; the person who maintains the current account is not affected) provide the password to disable find my phone and choose to keep on my iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with another Apple ID to create your new account. Choose merge to download your data.

    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and remove data from the other person to your account.

    I'm your pain ptapp!

    Through my research for an answer that solves this problem, I have found that not even Apple knows how to solve this problem of password to iCloud.

    All 4 of my devices constantly ask my password because of some problems with xyz account.

    Then I enter the password only to be told that iCloud cannot check my password.

    Then after several repetitions of this I get locked and have to go to the site apple id to change my password.

    I didn't spend $6 000 on these beautiful devices so I could spend countless hours dealing with support (with no positive result) and find themselves just beyond myself in frustration. I have a Mac Pro, 2 iPads, 2 iPhones and an iPod touch. All are behaving this way, no matter what it is I'm doing at the time.

    Apple needs to fix this problem, if they have any idea how to.

  • How to create the new library of Photos to iCloud without it merging with the former?

    I started my iCPL in January 2015. It is now 104 Gb/8000 photos. In a year I need to upgrade my plan of storage iCloud.

    So I think I would make the existing one a regular photo library, and start a new photo library iCloud.

    If I start a new library now and make the iCPL, merge it with the existing iCPL. I want to replace the existing in iCloud.

    I could do (I think): -.

    1. make the existing a non-iCPL and rename it.

    2. create a new lib Photos and make the library system iCloud.

    3. the new library (empty) will download and merge with the former in iCloud, so it contains now 8000 photos of the original lib.

    4. delete all the 8000 photos in the new.

    5. start put new photos in the photo library now empty iCloud.

    Is there a better way? I do it too difficult?

    I can see what I've described above taking a long time to settle on all devices, even if I can avoid 30 day waiting by removing the deleted record recently.

    Thank you

    You use "Optimize Mac Storage" on your Mac? Then, you will need to make sure that all the photos to download to your Mac before you copy your current library corresponding to your backup disk and start deleting iCloud.  Is there enough free storage on your Mac to do this?

    I would also like to than my thin iCloud library. My iCloud library has only my favorite photos of many years, I want on all my devices as well as the most recent photos that I'm still trying. Because the iCloud library must be the library system, only in iCloud library photos are available in the media for other applications browser, so I keep all the photos here that I can use in other applications.

    What I do to save bandwidth and download time is to have two libraries:

    1. A large library where I keep all the photos I want to keep - it's my photo archives. This library is on an external drive that is supported by Time Machine and is currently still an Aperture library.
    2. A smaller library iCloud in my pictures folder.

    I import new photos first to the iCloud library, remove all the bad moves that do not need archiving, then I export the originals at the library of the archives.

    And then I start editing the photos in the library to iCloud and learn by removing and keeping only the best photos.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Cannot synchronize calendars with iCloud

    I used to use iTunes to synchronize calendars. I get a new Mac and I now need to synchronize iCloud.  I don't want iCloud - but I put in place because I NEED to synchronize.  So now - Mac is complete, partial, iPad iPhone NOTHING.  Go crazy looking for answers!

    Just things to synchronize.  I really do need calendars and today finds that medical important notes (in iCal)... nothing.  I have nothing and is not the wonderful experience promised by Apple.  This isn't (or shouldn't be) something cutting-edge.

    The first step to get things as expected is to understand the difference between the use of the mail, contacts and calendars to be 'synced' vs. how things work with modern cloud (iCloud, Google Gmail, Microsoft 365) services.  In the old days, you would be 'sync' line of devices one phone to a local computer where you have stored your contacts and calendars.  It is more the way things work.  With services like iCloud, all your computers, phones, tablets, etc., rather communicate directly with the server to iCloud instead of synchronization between them via iTunes.  When implemented correctly, using iCloud is much more reliable 'synchronization' ever was.

    To set things upwards so that each of you, the devices use iCloud (and therefore always show current mail, calendars and contacts), you simply login to iCloud on each device using the same iCloud account and ensure that services you plan to use are activated.  On the Mac go to "System Preferences" > "iCloud" to connect and activate the services.  On your iOS devices, go to the "Settings" > "iCloud" to do the same.  Make sure that all these Screes are with the same login to iCloud and have services enabled (including schedules).

    Then, to test.  Adding an event to a device should appear immediately on others (without iTunes required).  If the test works, then open iTunes to your iPhone / iPad are each attached and disable iTunes sync for calendars, contacts for these devices (is no longer necessary or desirable).

    Finally, if your old calendars are still available on your Mac, then you should be able to copy the old events of the old (probably stored locally on your Mac) calendar to the calendar iCloud newly available.  Once you do, you should immediately see on other devices.

    I hope this helps.

    I read about setting up email aliases iCloud accounts. But I've read that when an e-mail is sent to the alias email account, it is sent to the email account primary iCloud.  That wouldn't do me any good. I have 2 email addresses with 2 inboxes and 2 boxes of feel, (which I have now with Verizon).

    Thank you!

    Yes, you can set up as iCloud (or other types of) e-mail accounts as you want. When you open the app on Mac Mail, click mail accounts in the menu bar.

    Then click the iCloud in the pop up box, and you will see the following text:

    Click on the "Create Apple ID" option and then set up a new email iCloud.com address.

    You can then view your primary e-mail address and your secondary email address in your mailbox separately:

    Now in my Email application:

    You can see that each of my mailbox has two entrances. One for iCloud (which is my primary email in iCloud account) and one for my second address iCloud. The mail for each of them is separate, and I don't extend the Inbox to view, then click on the one that I want to see the mail on.

  • On photos on iphone with iCloud library storage

    How can I limit the space used by photos in ios9 without deleting icloud?

    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.

    In most cases, optimize your photos should be enough to raise the space related issues on your device. However, if you have an exceptionally large library you may need to disable iCloud photo library on your mobile device and use instead the photo stream. You can then use a computer to manage the photo stream photos and have them automatically imported into you iCloud photo library.

  • 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.
