  Hello

  I recently updated my Mac to macOS Sierra and during the installation process I accidentally left the synchronization "Desktop and Documents" on iCloud drive selected. He transferred some of my documents to the iCloud drive and then not others because I don't have enough storage iCloud and record my 'normal' documents is now empty.

  I often work without an internet connection, so it is essential that I am able to access all my documents without cloud. I tried to uncheck the 'Jobs' and Documents and "iCloud Drive" in System Preferences, but it left my completely empty folder documents and deleted all the contents of my office.

  I panicked because all my documents had disappeared from my computer then I reactivated "iCloud drive" and it is now restore all documents that it removed from my computer.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• iCloud Installation hangs on deleting of backup files

  If I go crazy.  Tried to install a new version of iCloud in many different ways and it keeps hanging on 'delete backup files '.  I searched on the Internet and each suggestion appears to be for a few years, not always on Windows 10. But my problem is happening in 2016 and is still ongoing.

  I am running windows 10.  I completely uninstalled all the programs Apple. I'll try to reinstall iCloud and every time it stops on deleting of backup files. I did it in airplane mode and when you are connected to the Internet.

  Any help / thoughts?

  Hi ManowarNYC,

  Thanks for your question.  I'm not sure what you mean by

  Tried to install a new version of iCloud in different ways

  So, I'll start by suggesting the implementation of the instructions below:

  Set up and use iCloud for Windows

  Confirm that you have uninstalled the previous version to iCloud for Windows, and you install the 64 bit to iCloud for Windows version for your operating system Windows 10.

  Take care.

• Backup of files in TimeMachine iCloud drive

  I just above has migrated to a MacBook 12 '' Air of Macbook using Time Machine and noticed that my 2.4 GB of iCloud drive files are downloaded rather than migrating to the TimeMachine. This suggests that these files are not be saved locally, which is relative.

  Is it true that Time Machine does not back up iCloud locally stored files?

  Apparently, the files are backed up and stored in ~/library/mobile documents based on the following thread:

  Does not save icloud to Time Machine when you create on a Mac

  Indeed, I see my files in there, but I'm confused why these files have not been restored to the new machine and instead the entire library is to be re-uploaded. Fortunately, I had ~ 2 GB, but it would take hours for a larger library.

  Does anyone know if it is possible to restore the Time Machine backup files and let the iCloud to update as needed? It would appear more sensible and more similar to other cloud solutions.

• macOS Sierra and reminders badge notification counter stuck

  Hello everyone,

  I upgraded my MBP 2015 beginning 13 "retina to macOS Sierra 10.12 a week ago and since then my notification reminders badge icon shows '1', even if I have no obsolete reminder. On my iPhone 6, Pro "(à la fois avec iOS 10.0.2) and iCloud 9.7 iPad are shown no insignia." How can I solve this problem? I looked everywhere on the internet.

  I tried:

  • Disabling the option badge in settings and reset the MBP.
  • typing in a Terminal the command 'killall-Dock KILL' with 'sudo' and without it;
  • disconnect and connect again to my iCloud account;

  no results at all.

  Any other suggestion please?

  Thank you very much

  For those who encounter this problem, thanks to a user I finally solved the problem.

  Here's what I did:

  Connected to the www.icloud.com went to the settings and restored a previous automatic backup of two days before (even if my problem started earlier). After the recovery is complete, my icon badge disappeared automatically.

  At the end of the process, I had again to share my 'Family' calendar and a reminder with my girlfriend (if you have more, you must do for each list of calendar/reminder).

  All my subscribed calendars are always synchronized after the process.

  Hope this helps others...

• 9.0 schedule search in macOS Sierra

  I ve made just the switch to macOS Sierra on my 2014 27 "iMac and not only love him but they were"lucky"so far: everything (apart from a few little niggles in Photoshop CS6) works well. But in the calendar, I have several entries and events dating back to the 1990s that I still sometimes have to find. But rummaging through the won´t calendar show anything more than 1 year away, which is very frustrating! Someone knows how to help me, or is this a limitation of the I´ll calendar just to live with? I like using Mac calendar for its simplicity, clean up the GUI and the perfectly in-sync with my iPhone and Don t want to use a third-party program such as Fantastical or BusyCal. EtreCheck shows no problem and performance "excellent".  Thank you very much for any help offered!

  You need to re-index your Spotlight cache files. Some users have had to re-index the calendar items. However, before you start trying to bugs, if your calendars are synchronized, you can try to remove the addition. System Preferences > iCloud, clear the calendar check box, and then add it again. Give it time to delete files.

  Check first under the Privacy tab in Spotlight. If the boot volume, or any volume where your data resides is listed, remove the. Spotlight will begin immediately the amount of indexing. Check back later and you should be able to find the items in Spotlight.

  HOW DO I RE-INDEX YOUR SPOTLIGHT CACHE FILES

  In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.

  * Click on the projector.

  Make this mail and Messages is enabled on the results tab of research.

  * Click on the Privacy tab.

  * Drag your player to the list. Wait a few minutes.

  * Remove the item you added.

  * Projector will be re - index the content of the element that you initially dragged to the list.

  Probably not necessary, but I would immediately leave the Terminal and restart your Mac.

  SUMMARY:

  Depending on your Mac and the contents of his hard drive, the re-indexing may take several hours. This night is a good option if you have a large drive.

  Open the activity monitor in Applications/Utilities and type md in the search filter. You should see several mdworker who are active processes.

  Until this process is complete, Spotlight will not know the contents of your discs and will not send mail.

  Hi there, HMILLER75. Thank you for using communities of support from Apple!

  It seems that if you get a reminder that there is not actually on your MacBook Pro, which has been upgraded to macOS Sierra. You have made a huge step in troubleshooting, but since it did not help I have a few extra steps for you.

  With the reminders on your Mac app, close it using the Menu option (callbacks > reminders Quit) then hold down the SHIFT key left while the reopening of reminders to clear the cache.

  Safe mode try if your Mac does not start -is not only recommended safe mode when your Mac is not put into market, it also erases the system caches and certainty that your Mac starts correctly.

  These steps should clear reminders inhabiting not actually on your Mac. Have a great day!

• Uninstallation macOS Sierra

  Last night, I installed the full version of the Sierra and then this morning to the dismay, found that QuickBooks 2015 is not compatible with the Sierra. So, rather than be forced to move as my QB files online for a monthly fee or pay another $200 to get QB 2016, which is compatible with Sierra, I want to go back to El Capitan. But how can I safely do this?

• macOS Sierra keeps freezing

  I installed Sierra on my MacBook Pro a few days ago, and several times it froze. First the computer stops responding to my external mouse. About 30 seconds later it stops responding to the keyboard and trackpad. I have to force a reboot. Why is this?

  Perhaps relevant: according to activity monitor, kernel_task frequently uses now several hundred (and sometimes more than 2,000) percentage of my CPU. Who would have thought that was possible?

  Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. Read https://www.apple.com/support/backup/to learn how to do this please. To learn how to use Time Machine read to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

  Then, shut down your Mac and restart in 'Safe Mode '. To learn how to do it please read: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up. Compare works your Mac in Mode for how safe it was.

  Then restart normally. If the same problem comes back, please read the section If a problem does not occur in safe mode for actions recommended to Apple.

  Finally, you can temporarily create a new user account and log into this account to determine if the problem also exists when connected to this account.

• Downgrade macOS Sierra El Capitan question

  Hi all

  earlier today, I upgraded my Mac mini (end 2012) to the latest version of macOS Sierra.

  After 1 hour of use, I realized that many of my plugins FCPX were not working.

  I contacted the developers, and they said does not update the plugins and they told me to go back to El Capitan.

  I decided to listen to them and try to downgrade my OS.

  I restarted the Mac and held down Cmd - R or something like that that took me to the disk utility screen.

  Then I went down to dinner, and when I returned 30 minutes later my Mac had entered the sleep mode for some reason any.

  I woke up the Mac and 40 seconds later the power went out for 5-10 minutes.

  After the blackout, I restarted my Mac that took me to a black screen with a flashing question mark folder.

  I followed some tutorials online (including how to enter get - and the recovery of internet mode), but after a while even restoration of the internet shows me the flashing question mark folder.

  I don't know what to do.

  And no - unfortunately I don't have a Time Machine backup.

  But I have a backup with all my most important files.

  Is it possible to force the Mac to reset itself or something like that?

  Help, please.

  Best regards
