ID iCloud and FileVault

I have a basic question, but can't seem to find the answer after searching for her.  I have an iMac running El Capitan 10.11.5.   I have active FileVault.  My question is: is it possible to use my ID iCloud/Apple to connect on my iMac with FileVault active or do I have to have a local account (username/password separate) on my iMac?

When I go to settings-users and groups, click on change password, I expected to see a dialogue box that could offer me to use my ID iCloud as the connection of my iMac (shown below - mentioned in several articles I read).  But it's just the dialog box to change the local password.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Found the answer - seems the option of using iCloud connections has been removed in 10.11.5

  • iCloud and Outlook

    I'm late to the discussion of problems Outlook-iCloud. I have Windows 7, Outlook 2013. iCloud slipped all my elements of calendar and contacts and completely wiped out my mailing lists. All I want is to get rid completely of iCloud for Windows! I understood how to get contacts and calendar items back and reconstruct the mailing lists, all by hand in case of absolute necessity, even if many in this discussion suggested other ways to do it. My big problem is where all these visible items in Outlook folders are stored now. They seem not to be in the iCloud, and I was not able to determine where they are. Some are extremely important, and I can't afford to lose. Can someone tell me where the hell are they? There is a .pst file that is updated regularly. If they are there, how can I check this? I spent an hour each with a 'genius' of Apple and a technician in the Microsoft store, and does not have a clue! I have the latest version of iCloud for WIndows from 29/09/16. I'm syncing iPad Air2, v.10 and iPhone OS 5, not updated to v.10. Thanks for any help you can give me.

  • Storage of original photos of full resolution in iCloud and IMac

    Hi all.

    I have what I think, it is a very simple question, but for the life of me cannot find a definitive answer.

    I have a librurary of photo on my iMac. (don't have not yet updated for sierra)

    I would like to support this thesis / store the originals in ICloud AND keep them on my mac.

    SO I think that the obvious thing to do is select "optimize storage" in the settings of cloud photo which clearly says that they will be in the cloud and the computer. But here's the question...

    If my IMac is low on space will start serving the original photos so that they are FAIR to Icloud?

    If so, what is the threshold of how much space it starts to do this?

    and if I recover my space again once on the iMac will be the original re download back to my iMac?

    Thanks in advance people.

    You may not use the setting 'Optimize storage' - select ' download originals for the Mac ", if you want than the originals, to be stored locally on the Mac and on iCloud.

    So that 'download originals to the Mac' is activated, all of the original will be kept on your Mac as well.

    It will not start original purge, as long as you keep "Optimize storage disabled".

    Optimization of the storage with the storage management is automatic.  Photos will download the originals if you need and remove, if more storage is needed. You cannot control this.

    iCloud library is no backup. It is a synchronization service to keep all your libraries on different devices synchronized and updated. If you accidentally delete photo from your library, it is not possible to restore from iCloud. Deletion can be synchronized to all devices and iCloud, so the photo has disappeared everywhere.  You need a backup separate from your library on an external drive, even if you use iCloud photo library.

  • my default calendar on IPhone and IPad has disappeared. I can't see it either on ICloud and do not save on my Mac Book. How can I get it back? Is it possible to return to a previous update in ICloud?

  • Unable to sync Mac (10.9.5) to iCloud and iDevices but reverse works

    My problem is simple. I just added a calendar to my MBA (10.9.5) and attempted to share the calendar with my family.

    After that my family has not received an e-mail to synchronize with the new calendar, I watched my iCloud account. The new schedule is not on my iCloud account either.

    I crossed all basic and advanced troubleshooting guides on apple.com and other websites of third parties without result. Yes, my calendar is listed under iCloud. My calendar is set to sync with my iCloud account in system preferences. I am connected to my iCloud account on my Mac. I followed all of the settings on the Apple support pages. I even cleaned my calendars and disconnected and then reconnected my iCloud account on my Mac.

    I tried a reverse test. I added a calendar in iCloud. Miraculously, he immediately synced with my Mac and my iDevices. In short, iCloud will synchronize with my iDevices and Macs, but my Mac does not synchronize with iCloud and my iDevices.

    I really don't want to enter all the information in iCloud. Suggestions on how to solve the problem?

    OK, after an hour of frustration (my iCloud account is sent to push), I disconnected my iCloud account and then connected again. Of course the restoration did not understand the new calendar, so I imported my backup. The calendar now shows upward. This is a serious flaw that Apple needs to fix.

  • iCloud and Apple ID servicesafter updated to iOS 10

    I have upgraded to iOS 10 on my iPad 2 Air. Since then, I am unable to connect to the services using iCloud or Apple ID. Does not load App Store, iTunes Store does not load, verification for the two-step verification code are never sent. When I try to access iCloud and Apple ID settings, I see that I am connected to iCloud and my ID Apple, but then the iPad freezes or gives vague errors like "can't check at the moment." I can connect to iCloud.com with no problems, and all internet connections are healthy. I can navigate in safari and use other web-based applications.

    I deleted all the content and parameters of the iPad twice and the problem persists. I got iPad directly from the latest version of iTunes and still the same problem.

    Try a reset.

  • How to remove Photos from the iPhone/iPad/iCloud and no pictures

    How to take a photo with my iPhone/iPad, allow it to synchronize with Photos on my Mac via iCoud, then delete from my iPhone/iPad/iCloud and removes any Photos on Mac? I want to save the photo on your computer and save space on small devices?

    I keep seeing articles on the iCloud market turn but it seems the photos all return on the devices once restarted. I want to iCloud on use as a conduit to get the photos to my computer, not as a large storage space. I want the Photos app on my Mac where all the photos are filled and stored and choose those which is left each device.

    Right now they are all in the pictures on the Mac, but I'm worried if I remove it from my iPhone/iPad that they will disappear from Photos on the Mac. I don't understand the new Photos app with all the missing features of iPhoto.

    Thank you!

    You can not that's not how works iCloud photo library - it is not a conduit but a total synchronization service whose entire raison d'etre is to keep libraries connected identical - all changes made on any device (addition, deletion or modification) are made on all devices. For devices with limited memory, using optimized photos

    If this isn't what you want then use another service - USB import, iTunes sync, MyPhotoStream for example each do different things and everyone can move photos from one device to another

    And Photos lack a lot of features iPhoto form - in fact much more features than iPhoto including iCloud library there like a bigger and better editing capability and better external editing capability and so on

  • I bought storage additional iCloud and even if my credit card was charged no extra storage has been made available.

    I bought storage additional iCloud and even if my credit card was charged no extra storage has been made available. Anyone with similar problems? Please notify.

    < re-titled by host >

    Hi cyspider,

    I understand that you have purchased storage additional iCloud and your credit card has been charged, but you do not see that the storage has been added.  Have you received an email from Apple regarding this purchase?

    The first thing I would say is to restart your iPhone.  Then tap general > storage & use of iCloud.  In the iCloud section, the amount of 'Storage' has changed?

    If the Total storage has not been updated, the link below will put you in touch with the assistance of the iTunes store team.  They will review your account with you and take measures to solve the problem.

  • iCloud and iCloud drive

    Can someone tell me what exactly the difference between iCloud and iCloud drive.

    On both you can store files, records and photos, but why use one over the other, or maybe both.

    Thank you for answering,

    Marja

    (Sort of) See the difference is to connect to https://www.icloud.com

    ICloud is not in iCloud drive information includes Mail, Contacts, calendar, Photos, Notes, reminders, etc. iCloud Drive is a separate app or a section in iCloud.

    It is possible to transfer the photos to iCloud by car, but they won't be in the Photos app iCloud.com and not integral to the Photos on your Mac or iPhone app. To do this, you do not want to use iCloud photo library: iCloud photo library - Apple Support

    If you save any iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) devices that are part of iCloud, but is not available by connecting to https://www.icloud.com/

    For me, this isn't a case of 'one on one' about iCloud and iCloud Drive, it's both.

  • Synchronization with iCloud and pictures problems

    I recently discovered I was missing a few old photos Photos Apple and iCloud. It's about a years of photos from 2014. I think they disappeared right around the time Apple dropped iPhoto and switched to the photo program. I was able to locate the photos in my old iPhoto Library and was able to import them to Apple pictures - so I have them on my computer - but they are not automatically synchronized to iCloud.

    I would like to have all my photos stored in iCloud - I searched the FAQ and user forums but could not find a description of this particular problem.

    Any ideas on how I can get iCloud to import these newly added photos?

    a few thoughts - but with so little information we can only make assumptions

    1 - get up-to-date - you say you have OS X 10.10.5 - you are six updates behind - the latest version is El Captain OS X 10.11.6 - it have many bug fixes and many new features

    2 communicate. us your iCloud and on Mac and on every IOS device status settings

    3 - iCloud is not a backup, is a synchronization service - you need a system with the downloaded original and a backup in addition to the iCloud photo library

  • Question about Icloud and pictures related to the Iphone

    I save my photos from my ipnone in icloud. Today, I needed to free up space on my phone so I made sure the photos and videos have been backed up in the cloud, but when I removed them from my phone, they are now gone from the Cloud. Why?

    I thought that kept any cloud, so you can free your phone. What I'm doing wrong that will keep my photos and info on the cloud when I delete from the phone.

    And of course I did not sync my phone in over a month!

    Thank you

    Laurie

    If you have settings > iCloud > Photos > iCloud library turned on then all of the photos you delete from your phone will be deleted to iCloud and any other device connected to this library to iCloud.

    iCloud photo library as is currently is above all a method of synchronization between devices. It is NOT a backup, and it is not designed to be a storage cloud solution only.

    You can reduce the space required for the photos on your phone by selecting "Optimize iPhone storage" on the same above-mentioned settings screen.

  • ICloud and obsolete Photos.library

    I had lost the data of three days because of a problem with the update (10.11.6) and damaged the last time machine backup. If I had recovered from the oldest. Now I want to synchronize photos with iCloud where are the most recent. But when I opened iPhotos app it starts immediately to download the entire library stored on my mac to iCloud. Why? These photos are already on iCloud and there's more recent photos. It should not just download these photos which are in lack of mac? And does not remove this download new photos iCloud?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Photos will upload your library still frequently. Every time you have to compare the current local library for iCloud. It will download all the photos in your library, compare photos in iCloud, resolve the conflicts.  Once all potos miising upload, it will start ing to upload photos that are found only in iCloud.

    If you restore your library from a backup, move to another disk or repair library, or if the crash Photos, download again the pictures and you can't avoid it.  Try to avoid the reasons for the upload.

  • Computer I have Sync'd with is death - can I now back up / synchronize with iCloud and still have everything?

    Pretty much like what it says. Previously synced 100% with laptop computer (iTunes, photos, videos, etc.) which now shows the blue screen of death permanently.

    If I now go back to iCloud synchronization / backup on my phone, will I have all since it's all on my phone to start?

    Portable ITunes was there music I ripped and realize that is probably a separate issue. I have off-site backup which I can access once I get a new laptop.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can activate the backup to iCloud and it backs up your phone as it is currently. See following information from backups for iOS - Apple Support devices for details of what is included:

    With a wireless network connection, you can make a backup of your device using iCloud. You don't need to connect your device to a computer or even be home to save with iCloud.

    iCloud backups include virtually all the data and parameters stored on your device. iCloud backups do not include:

    • Data already stored in iCloud, like Contacts, calendars, Notes, My Photo Stream and iCloud photo library
    • Data stored in other cloud services, such as Gmail and Exchange email
    • Settings and information Apple pay
    • Tap Settings ID
    • iCloud library and App Store content (if it is still available in the iTunes, App, or iBooks Store, you can type to re - download your content already purchased.)

  • 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.
