ID of FileVault and iCloud

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.

so your screenshot is not yours?

I have disabled FV, that's what I get 10.11.5

also your signature has you on 10.7.2, you may want to change.

    You can uninstall iCloud for Windows completely if you do not use one of its features. If you do, you should let its services run. See what is iCloud for Windows?-Apple Support for more info on what it does.

  • 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.

  • A few photos from my iPhone and iCloud are missing from the Photos on my Mac.

    I have connected my iPhone 6 to my Mac today to back up as well as importing photos to the Photos app. Most recent photos have been imported to the Photos app, but more of a period of 3 days (taken last week) did not appear. Missing photos are always available in my iPhone "all the Photos" album as well as in iCloud. I tried to disconnect and reconnect the iPhone several times, but no luck. I also took a new picture and plugged the iPhone in, and she who imported automatically.

    I have OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 version and my iOS is 9.3.1.

    My photo stream and iCloud, photo sharing are turned on and my computer with iCloud drive is on, on my phone.

    Are there steps I can take to try to re - import the missing photos? Any thoughts on what is causing this problem?

    A big thank you to the one who can give me some advice!

    Laura

    If the normal import process fails - get an account on OneDrive, Photos of Google or Upthere.com

    You can download the images to the cloud via the phone services and download them to the computer

    Or you can turn on iCloud photo library and use the synchronization feature to display the images in iCloud photo library on the computer

  • I deleted my phone after the backup of photos were also deleted from the computer and iCloud

    I have an iPhone 5 and after upgrading my phone and transfer pictures, my computer screen went to sleep while he was removing all transferred photos off my phone as I walked away. When I went back and opens the screen, deleting was stopped, and even if I tried to have the iPhoto to delete 517 photos that were transferred, it would not be. So, while my phone was still connected to the computer, I scored manually 88 photos on my phone, following on the computer, ensuring that each photo that I retreat the phone had been transferred to iPhoto. Then, I went in the "recently deleted" on my phone and deleted those as well, so they do not take place. When I got back to the computer for the next round, I realized every photo that I had just deleted my phone also disappeared from iPhoto! I even checked iCloud and they weren't there. How can I recover these 88 pictures I deleted from my phone and why the hell did remove it from the computer?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  • Screen sharing, FileVault, and reboot

    Hello. I have a Mac Mini that has active FileVault, and I control my laptop using screen sharing. The only problem I have is the very occasional time that the Mac Mini freezes or restarts. When this happens, there is no way to connect via screen sharing and I have to login on the machine itself (I don't keep the keyboard and monitor connected so it's a bit annoying). FileVault ask this question because it requires a pre-launch where screen sharing does not work. I could turn off FileVault, but would prefer not to if possible. Is it possible to get through pre-launch of FileVault remotely using my laptop?

    Is it possible to get through pre-launch of FileVault remotely using my laptop?

    N ° such a "pre screen sharing" is identical with the Option key button to get the Boot Manager. We can't screen hand when this happens.

    Your only options are to 'disable' FileVault or have always a practice keyboard/monitor/mouse to enter a password for FileVault to unlock the drive.

    I'm curious why you have FileVault enabled on a Mac Mini. Laptops I understand because they are mobile, but I'm not for desktop computers.
