iCloud on mac

I bought a 1 TB of storage iCloud.  I have an iPad as a Mac computer. I was informed by one of the 'experts' to counter Apple Genius than my Photos and video clips (in iMovie) on my Mac post storage iCloud.  Is this correct?  He said that only my Photos and video clips on my iPad is stored in iCloud storage. I don't understand what I am willing to release my Mac that runs very slowly!

No space is saved by using iCloud, everything you put on the disc is also on your computer. Net savings = None

  • How to make boxes to the letters for my alias iCloud in Mac Mail

    How to make mailboxes mailbox for my alias iCloud in Mac Mail?

    I have just set up my e-mail address of iCloud for the first time.  I had an Apple account for many years, but had not hitherto iCloud email address.  After that, Mac Mail automatically created an Inbox and an Outbox called, "iCloud" in the Mac Mail.

    Following the instructions I found online from Apple, I created an alias.  I would like to create the mailbox for the alias. How can I do this?

    Because it cannot be changed or deleted, I won't use my "main" iCloud address email for anything whatsoever.  Everything will be done by one or two aliases.

    Thank you for helping.

    You can create a folder for iCloud in the same way, when you create folders for any of your e-mail accounts. However, I suspect that you hope to create an Inbox specially for your alias addresses, which you can not do so. Aliases are aliases for your primary address, they are not different addresses, as such mail to your iCloud address and it's aliases are all moving in the same Inbox.

    What you can do is create a folder for mail addressed to your alias and create a rule to move relevant mail in the Inbox in this folder.

  • How to move the documents to icloud to mac

    Recently, I decided to use icloud for storing my documents. I now discover is therefore more a folder for Documents on my Mac. The favorite of Documents is also missing from my Finder with no option to add back. The only option and something that I see in the Finder's Documents in iCloud. I want to stop using icloud for storing my documents. How to return all documents on my Mac? I tried to create a "Documents" folder under my user, but he comes back and says that it already exists. I can't find. Help!

    Similar situation with my father.  He did not know that it turned on syncing iCloud and after disabled it, discovered that his office was empty (the Documents probably too, but it wasn't in the concerned e-mail message, I received this morning).

    This seems to be the opposite of what one should expect; When turning off this feature, you should be at least the option to restore your files in the desktop and Documents folders.

    I do "remote support" for an octogenarian who is not very comfortable to make changes to his computer.  If all goes well, there is a simple solution that I can talk to him through.

  • Photo very slow download on iCloud drive, Mac Air 2009, El Capitan

    I hope someone can help... I installed El Capitan on my Mac Air since end 2009 and since improved Air and iPads to iCloud by car. Are my approximately 9000 pictures on Mac Air download at a speed of max 50 per hour. Also I don't see any files or folders in the Finder/iCloud drive. Something clearly happened because my network has significantly slowed down. Is this normal?

    Thanks in advance!

    You synchronize these photos with your iCloud photo library?

    If so, you won't see them in your iCloud drive. The library and iCloud drive are 2 separate areas.

    Don't you have optimize activated? It takes much more time for a large library like yours.

    Your download speed depends on your wifi. It is generally not as fast for most users as the download speed.

  • Backup both iCloud and Mac iOS devices?

    I went to a Genius Bar appointment today where the genius told me I can't back up my devices iOS by connected directly to my Mac. He said that the backup to iCloud over wifi is the same thing and I need to do both. He said if I've changed devices, I could do the restoration completely to iCloud, I don't have to restore from a Mac or time Machine.

    Can it be true? What applications I, who hold their own data? Can I count on iTunes store up to iCloud?

    Secondly, whenever I plug in my device iOS directly on my mac, iTunes/Photos wonder if I want to import a large number of photos, and then I end up with duplicates in my library of Photos.

    Of course, it is true. Since the launch of iCloud, Apple gives you the ability to save your iCloud or your like before Mac iOS devices. The advantage to backup your iPhone to iCloud, is that a backup is performed automatically when you load your iPhone and it is connected to a Wi - Fi network. See-> about backups in iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support

    Note that you can do iCloud backups backups and iTunes at the same time if you wish. When you plug your iPhone to your Mac, iTunes will keep the possibility to make a local backup if you want to.

    Regarding your second question, I suggest to create a second thread with it, so that you don't mess this thread with different themes. This will allow people with the same issue find the answer quickly.

  • How to remove the iMessage/iCloud on Mac OS 10.11.4 inactive account?

    Overtime I remove, as soon as possible because I restart the mac, they come back...

    I just want to know the exact plist I should delete to get ride of them.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The first picture is the default Action, and I suspect that it is for the second.

    If you would like the first to appear empty then delete com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist

    For access to this has you need to use a Finder window an Access then th go Menu while pressing the ALT key, and then click the library that appears.

    Go to preferences and find the file and delete it (drag it to the trash).

    I don't know what .plist holds the Apple ID used in the part of the iCloud or system preferences.

  • Can I download originals to iCloud for mac before move library of photos on external hard drive

    I moved my library of photos from my laptop on a thunderbolt 2 TB external drive. I opened pictures (option click) and chose this place to open. Then I opened the photos and click preferences on use this as library of photos of systems. I checked iCloud and he said that I had referenced files that could not be downloaded and consolidate them. I do not know which files are "referenced". These would be photos of the former library of iPhotos that was imported in the Photos. I have more than 20,000 pictures on iCloud. Will they all finally downloaded to my new library of pictures on the external hard drive? Or I have to download the originals on my mac before moving the library of photos on the external drive. I maybe need all start over and do it - except that I don't have enough space on my drive SSD from Mac to keep them all.

    Any suggestions? My plan was to have my photos on iCloud, the originals on disk external hard and then the mac and HD on my time capsule. Access iCloud on my iPad photos air and iPhones, iPad pro.

    When I look at the size of the library of photos in my pictures folder, it is about 12 GB - there is also an iPhotos library in the images folder which is 63 GB. I think I have to combine these files but don't know how to do this. If I also moves the iPhotos library to the new external hard drive which will be done automatically. Obviously I have not deleted the folders in the library on my Mac until it works.

    They must synchronize the external disk if it's where you said Photos your library is (that you have).

    Try to create a new smart album to see what is not downloaded.

  • How can I remove photos from the iPhone but save on iCloud/desktop mac?

    I have an iPhone 6 and I'm constantly short of room because of my photos.  When I go to delete a picture from my pictures it says "this photo will be deleted from iCloud photo library on all your devices" and I have NO IDEA how to disable this dang thing.  So when I delete a photo that it clears too my computer then I constantly tries to free up space on my phone in other respects.

    I wish I could take a picture, saved it on my computer and iCloud and then remove it from my phone without losing.  Any ideas?  Thank you!

    You can go to settings > Photos & camera on your phone and do the following:

    1. turn off iCloud photo library

    2 turn on my photo stream

    Then on your Mac, you can open pictures and under preferences, perform the following steps:

    1. on the general tab, make sure that "Copy items to the photo library" is checked

    2. by virtue of iCloud, make sure 'My Photo Stream' is checked (you can also have shared Photo also controlled flow)

    This should cause all photos of photo stream to be shared between devices as well as to import into your photo library.

    See you soon,.
