iCloud storage problems. won't let me put more files, even though it says I have 180 GB of available

Help!

Try to clean the files from my external hard drive and the Mac and put on iCloud in order to free up space. But, iCloud repeat that it cannot transfer files because there is not enough space. But when I check the info it says I still have over 180 GB of storage space... I want to only 130GB of transfer in iCloud. Why won't it let me?

anyone else has this problem or has fixed this or give me any advice for me. can not finish my projects for work until I have free space. Super frustrating!

A = soon)

Not sure if you're aware but iCloud is mainly designed for the synchronization of data between devices and not as a cloud storage location only. If you have iCloud drive turned on in your Mac and you then attempt to move 130GB of an external hard drive to iCloud, it will automatically also an attempt of placement than 130 GB as a local copy on your Mac (use the menu go to Finder > iCloud drive to access the local copy).

    Windows should not see the disk at all if it is configured in a RAID of the controller.  CTRL-r, the blink works on the PD MGMT screen - you can not set it up in a RAID of this form - you need to configure from the VD MGMT screen (highlight controller, F2, Create/New).  If the drive status is anything other than 'willing' to the PD MGMT screen, you will not be able to set it up.

  • Windows 7 won't let me access the files (my documents, my downloads), but the programs work very well!

    Currently, I am running windows 7 Ultimate on my desktop I built. My computer starts up fine, no problem when I connect and I can run all my programs like itunes, security suite norton, chrome, Picasa and Microsoft word work completely fine. There is no problem to save things on Word view my photos on Picasa (which is on the C drive) or by playing songs on itunes (which means that I can access my hard drive through programs), but when I try to open the downloads folder, it shows a popup that says: "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. "and does not open the file. The problem is that I AM the administrator account on the computer! However, when I open things in my libraries such as My Documents or my music, there just a blank page, saying that I have no files in this folder, but I have files in all of these files: photos, all my music itunes and documents.

    The interesting thing is that I can save documents to the word to My Documents and it will be displayed at the beginning, but when I close the My Documents window and reopen it, the file disappeared and the folder is 'empty' again.

    Currently. I have 2 hard drives connected, a seagate 1 TB and a supplement of 250 GB. Both of these drives appear in disk management, so that the computer knows and is able to see are how many gb on them. Apart from this recognition, when I open the start menu and press computer, it only shows my USB and my CD player, nor of my hard drives. I know that computers are connected correctly as they hum and dry as usual. I am very worried about what is, be it a virus, bad connection, settings that have been changed for any reason any.

    Please help me understand why Windows 7 won't let me access my files through programs, but not in Finder Windows, I have very important files on this computer that I can't lose!

    Windows 7 has a feature of self defense which is a pain.

    Right-click on the folder and select properties and see if there is a release button.

    Repeat for external drives.

  • Illustrator CC won't let me open a file or create a new document

    Basically, Illustrator is not let me open a file or to create new files. I started running with this problem this week, it was working fine but suddenly he stopped.

    I am running Illustrator CC 2015 (19.2.0) on an iMac 2012 (2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 | 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3) with OS X El Capitan (10.11.4). I've downgraded to CC 2015 (19.0.0), but the problem was not resolved.

    After the Palm of him going to the fonts that I recently installed, I have not found any corrupt file. Illustrator closes unexpectedly, it just freezes and stop working if I have to force quit the application, which means that I can not start Safe Mode.

    Then I decided to uninstall Illustrator and the whole creative cloud package, used the Adobe cleaning tool and installed again but this time I tried with Illustrator CC (17.0) and 2014 (18.0) CC and they didn't work either. Finally, I tried with CS6 (16.0) and it works fine so I realized that the problem affects only the CC of Illustrator versions.

    The same version of Illustrator works great on my Windows laptop, 10, and other applications such as Photoshop and After Effects CC 2016 work perfectly well on the iMac. So now, I have to convert CS6 have all my files on my laptop to use it on my iMac which is really frustrating and badly affect my workflow.

    I would like to know if anyone of you, guys, have had the same problem with Illustrator and if there is a way to solve this problem.

    I'll be waiting and thanks in advance.

    Well, as mentioned by Monika Gause and ohmnath, I just had to install a PDF printer to get Illustrator CC 2015 running. However, I do not think that it should work without having to install anything.

    For me, PDFwriter for Mac | MacUpdate works perfectly.

    Thanks for your help!
