iCloud Drive - stop synchronization files back to the Mac

Hi all

OK, so I use OneDrive for my backups online cloud. I used it in my old Windows and Nokia Lumia days before my first iPhone 4S.

To be honest its pretty * good, everything I do is download all of my digital photos since 2005 in a folder that I call my Photo Vault. These are organized into folders for each month and year and organized. Simple.

Now one of the best features on OneDrive is that even though I have over 65 GB of Photos stored in the cloud, I can choose on all of my Windows PC or my MacBook in the OneDrive records I want to synchronize with the PC/laptop/iMac/Macbook computer so that I not 65 GB of Photos stored on each device. Logic Yes?

What is the point of a storage cloud if it synchronizes all your units and their disk space fills. My Macbook Air 128 GB would be filled with my photo library of 11 years.

So what is my question?

iCloud drive.

I have 50 GB to 69P per month. (To be negotiated). Yes but if I want to backup my iTunes library and copy 25 GB in the iCloud drive why must it download it again in my folder of drive iCloud on my Macbook Air that I use to transfer to?

I can choose individual folders in iCloud drive and say, 'Hey no, I want to store in the iCloud drive and not on this PC/computer laptop/iMac/Macbook Air again?

For example, the only way I see doing my music at the present time is to move my iTunes folder media in the folder of drive iCloud on the Macbook Air, while I do not have two versions of the same folder.

Any help with this would be great.

Thanks in advance.

iCloud is not a backup system, it is a system of synchronization, so it downloads whatever data is stored there to each computer and device signed in with the same Apple ID. There is no way to download selectively. There is a sync all or nothing.

  • iCloud do not synchronize files or Photos

    I'm at my wits end here, but my iCloud suddenly stopped grateful files and photos that were supposedly downloaded.  I was synching my library for the last weeks of my iCloud drive.  Yesterday morning, I had 119,33 GB of my 200 GB storage plan available.    I could see in the activity monitor the program 'nsurlsessiond' has been downloaded and when I came home, had loaded 3.8GBs data.   However, my iCloud account showed still 119,33 GB of available storage.

    After turning on, I then photos enabled for synchronization, it usually downloads through the cloudd program.   I left for a few hours, came back and could see about 700 MB downloaded via the web for this program, but the available storage was always showing 119,33 GB available.  When I saw 'Of Photos' through the iCloud on the web, I could see that no pictures had transferred, the projection of number (4455 photo) even as iCloud uploaded a Photo.

    This morning, I tried again and could see that the process Cloudd program had transferred about 400 MB, but my available storage remains to 119,33 GB and still no refreshment in the Photo not transferred to 4455 and just looking at, I can see there is no update of the uploaded photo.    As I type I install Google Drive because it's just pathetic that iCloud just don't seems to work when it is connected to an Apple device, I use 2013 iMac with OS X Yosemite10.10.5 installed.

    Could you please explain more?

    I'm not sure what you mean by that:

    I was synching my library for the last weeks of my iCloud drive.

    Where your photo library is stored?  You mean you want to keep the pictures library on iCloud drive?

    Or is your library of Photos in the pictures folder and you upload to iCloud with iCloud photo library?

    Your photo library must not be in any synchronized storage:

    See the Apple document: updating Photos for OS X - Apple iPhoto support

    If you store your photo library in a place that is part of a Cloud Computing service (for example, Dropbox, box or Google Drive), your library might be damaged by the synchronization process. So, you might lose photos.

    To see your photos on all your devices, you can use iCloud photo library. To back up your library, you can use Time Machine.

  • Files downloaded from the Mac does not show on iphone iCloud

    I downloaded file to iCloud for my Mac, but does not appear on iClod on my iPhone? I thing I put iCloud to share between my Mac, iPhone and iPad. Suggestion?

    What type of file? Did you use iCloud drive?

    Try to go to iCloud.com to see if the elements are there and whether the device or the computer. That should indicate if the device or computer is not synchronizing. If the computer, try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing. If the device, go to settings/iCloud and do the foregoing. You can also try connecting to iCloud and then reconnect.

    In settings/iCloud is iCloud drive turned on? That should give you a player to iCloud application.

  • Display driver stopped responding and has recovered the problem

    I got a Dell Inspiron M5040 with Windows 7 for Christmas 2011 and I started to use Windows Live Movie Maker, but whenever I get in the middle of editing a video, the screen went black for about a second and says "display driver stopped responding and recovered." The first time this error message has occurred, the laptop computer itself restarted and is went to a blue screen with the text, telling me to go into some sort of 'safe mode' (I couldn't read the text in time). I have all the latest drivers, my laptop is new, only yesterday lit.

    What can I do about it? I really want to use Movie Maker. I'm new to the Forum, so I hope someone help me. Thank you very much. Any help is appreciated.

    Hi James

    What you see is called the action process.in TDR (Timeout, recovery of the display).

    In earlier versions of windows when the display device ran out of resources throughout the system would stop responding which would require a reboot to recover.

    In Windows 7, if the display device is not responding, the system will try to stop and restart the device to recover.

    More information on this feature can be found here (Advanced): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg487368.aspx

    The most common reason for this problem is that the display device is overloaded or used beyond its capabilities.

    This happens more often when reading graphic intensive games, but can occur with any process that uses a large amount of graphic resources, such as you see when you edit or create videos.

    What you can do to avoid these problems:

    1. only this type of procedure when the laptop is connected to a source ca.

    2. in prior to starting video editing, restart the computer.

    3. close all other running programs to ensure that all graphics resources are available for video editing.

  • Stop synchronization of windows with the file is no longer available

    How to prevent synchronization of windows trying to sync with a folder that no longer exists? I'm working on a windows XP computer that had a network folder shared on our old domain controller. It was created to "work offline". This former DC has since died, but the XP machine is still trying to synchronize with him whenever he disconnects or connects.

    I tried to delete all the files temporary/offline, I tried windows Explorer and go to tools > Synchronize and then unchecking the file that does not exist. I tried to go to the configuration of the synchronization and UN-checking the folder to synchronize when connected to the LAN. Nothing seems to prevent synchronization attempt. There are also other folders that exist that I want to keep the synchronization with, so I don't want to completely disable synchronization. Does anyone know how to make so that he can stop sync with just this file?

  • iCloud account stopped working in post after the last update to El Capitan 10.11.2

    Since the update to El Capitan 10.12.1, iCloud stopped sync properly on the Server mail account in Apple Mail. It can receive new messages when first opening the app, but it would stop working after that. He would not receive any new messages, would not synchronize changes such as marking messages, read or deleted. Often the situation of activity would show that he was stuck in the download Messages.

    This problem exists only on the computer that runs El Capitan 10.12.1. I tried the deactivation/activation of the account, deleting/adding the account, turn on/off settings of automatic detection. Nothing has worked.

    Jason

    After searching for a solution, it turns out that there is a conflict with Avast Mac Security 2015. I have to turn off "Scan secure connections" to the iCloud account start working normally. This does not affect that iCloud email account. No problem with the other accounts of e-mail with secure connections.

  • How can I removed the photos/videos to the iPad, but not delete icloud drive?  Need free space on the device, but can't.

    My iPad has a lot of videos/pictures on local memory.  I disappear off the coast because I see that they are in my photo database and iCloud drive.  When I try to delete them it asks it will remove them from all devices.  I just have to remove them from the iPad.  Ideas?

    Thank you!

    You cannot delete without delete icloud, unless you turn off and away the iCloud synchronization.

  • Can I partition my drive Time Machine to back up the other 2 drives?

    Is it possible to partition a hard drive and use it with Time Machine to back up the other 2 drives?

    Example: I want to save internal drive of my iMac and my external storage drive, and I wonder if I can partition a hard drive for use with Time Machine, in order to safeguard my internal drive on one partition and the external drive to another partition. Hope that makes sense.

    Yes, if it's not a time Capsule, but I wouldn't recommend it. I would use readers separated for each device you want to back up. If you put all one hard drive and this player goes down, then you have lost all your backups. With separate if backup fails a drive you will always have backups remaining intact.

  • Daq stop task VI back to the State of the task was really forward the DAQmx Start Task or DAQmx writing?

    2. the information in help indicates "virtual channels created with the function/VI DAQmx create Virtual Channel are called virtual channels the and cannot be used in the task." But I don't know what "in his work" means.

    3. could I get some guidelines or expertise on the Labview programmers when use virtual channels the and when, to the more global?

    If you create a channel of the task, or scale just usuing the screw to create or Assistant session wire io is the only way to pass the info autour.  It is not saved anywhere on the disc.  A channel of the task or the scale in a project can be used by anything in this project.  A channel of the task or the scale recorded in MAX can be used by anything on this machine.  Its an extended thing.

    And Yes, the DAQ Assistant fresh extra performance overhead and the poor than the DAQmx API.  Often, it won't have the impact of a little experiment.  Large applications should avoid the express Visa.

  • How to free up space in a drive by deleting files hidden from the previous operating system?

    Original title: my vista home c drive now have very low free space.there is some files hidden from the previous operatnig system busy space that are useless.how can I delete these files?

    my laptop is slow due to the very low free space in c drive. How can I remove the unnecessary files from c drive or increase the volume of drive c?

    Download a program like TreeSize Free (http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/) to see where the files take up a lot of space.  Be aware that deleting files without knowing what you're doing can cause your system to be unable to restart or cause instability can so be sure you know that you are deleting before you start.  There is no way to extend one hard disk other than to replace it, in which case you need to copy all the files from your old drive to the new.

  • Inaccurate previews of the modified files back to the LR4.3 PS

    So, I see a photo in the LR4. Open with PS CS3 and cultures, save and close. Back in LR, the image remains in unedited in the Magnifier displays Gallery culture and. If I reopen it in PS culture that I did is always there. How can I view the file modified in the new crop in LR? Thank you.

    Could be due to a corrupted preferences file. This file can go 'funny' and is then responsible for all types of strange behavior of Lr. The repair is to replace the preferences file.

  • XML file back to the original file after record - why?

    Hi guys,.

    I work with a bit of XML and have questions, first of all, here are my measurements:

    (1) loading XML

    2) join XML

    (3) save the XML using PHP

    pretty simple, right?

    Well, why when I load the same XML file it reads the file without nodes appendend that I just added?

    I can open the XML file in Dreamweaver and see the nodes listed in the annex, but once I load the XML in the. SWF, it erases the nodes in the annex and not bed as the original nodes once again... a simplified version as follows:

    Original file:

    <? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"? >

    < people >

    < person >

    < name > Steve < / name >

    < / person >

    < / people >

    Saved the file, readable in Dreamweaver:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <people>

         <person>

              <name>Steve</name>

         </person>

         <person>

              <name>Mary</name>

         </person>

    </people>

    When the .swf file is closed, then reopened to save another person, it opens:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <people>

         <person>

              <name>Steve</name>

         </person>

    </people>

    My .swf is local at this point and the PHP and XML files on a server running PHP5.

    Apparently, the PHP script is correct, because it does not save the file correctly. I can save as < people / > as I hear it. But when I close the Flash .swf the URLLoader reads back the original XML data. Not sure how that's possible?

    When I change the location of the XML file to load in the URLLoader it changes so I know it's the same file that I saved for playback... I'm so confused.

    Hope this is enough detail for someone to help me,

    Thank you

    It is extracted from the cache of your browser.  to prevent which add a query changing string when loading your xml file:

  • DateTime file back at the time UNIX

    I have some old pictures I scanned and sets the file date time via the touch control to a date earlier than the time UNIX (January 1, 1970). It works, but only for a period of time, when the file returns to the time UNIX. As I understand it, HFS + supports the beaches of dates January 1, 1904 - February 6, 2040, and touch not to complaint using the date, so I'm surprised by the behavior.

    Here is an example:

    $ touch t 194310010000 testfile

    $ ls-l testfile

    -rw - r - r - 1 personal bnixon 0 1 October 1943 testfile

    After a certain period of time (I've not been able to determine a model)

    $ ls-l testfile

    -rw - r - r - 1 bnixon personal 0 31 December 1969 testfile

    Note that I am in the Central time zone, December 31, 1969 makes sense once the time zone is applied to the date/time UTC of January 1, 1970 00:00:00.

    Any thoughts on what could be the cause and how to prevent? Or are the date before the time UNIX not supported? I ran the disk first aid, and there are no errors.

    OSX is a UNIX certified 2003 operating system and UNIX systems hate dates wrong files before the DAYS of UNIX itself. Therefore, the operating system is saying that it does not include the date of your imposed file and puts it at the TIME, the first valid date in UNIX.

    You will need to either organize your photos in the dated folder names (e.g., 1943), incorporate the photo date in the name of your file, or as a comment via Get Info Finder, whenever the date is outside the valid range of UNIX data. You can then specify the Finder, for example, to show you all the images in 1943, where this date is in the name of the folder, name of file or comments.
