Manage my sync iCloud

• Confused.  Try to understand the Photo app Syncing iCloud

  Hi, just bought myself an old 5s iPhone which is big for me.

  I have some questions on how the Photos sync app works on my Mac.  I have a Mac mini desktop computer.

  This sharing of photos is incredible, but I am very new to it and get confused what is actually happening.

  I activated the option "Upload automatically to iCloud" on my iPhone but when I look on my desktop Mac that I do not see my most recent photos appear in the folder called 'iPhone' in my desktop version of Photos.  To get my downloaded photos I must actively download them from my phone.

  This folder has appeared after I connected my iPhone to my Mac via the USB cable.  I did this because someone on Facebook said.  This iTunes open for some reason and other things started happening that I don't understand.  I wanted to share pictures, not tunes and he tried to update but the Wi - fi wasn't working at the time so he kept failing.  When I checked the Wi - Fi works on my phone, it updated but iTunes kept trying to update.  Then the iPhone suddenly had all the records that I had done in Photos on my Mac, but the records were all empty.  Yet, all the Photos I had taken on my iPhone that day appeared on my Mac.  Now finally some pictures randomly my Mac on my iPhone as well and I do not understand why.  Then, when I open Facebook on my iPhone, the pictures that I had taken to a family visit appeared there with a musical slideshow!  What is everything?

  How does this work?  It works by sending photos of the invisible iCloud, which means that it requires action by me to make them appear in my desktop?  In this case, this mean I'll have hundreds, maybe thousands of images are circulating in the iCloud I can forget and end up running out of space on my iCloud?  Or do they stay on my phone until I have actively download them on my Mac?  If I turn off the automatic function, will I still be able to send photos to my Mac?

  If I delete a photo on my Mac, it will also disappear from my iPhone (and vice versa)?

  I have a lot of other questions but my poor old brain melting now and I forgot what I was going to ask, so I'll post them later.

  Thank you for your patience.  I'm old (and a bit thick).

• Manage storage to iCloud

  My iCloud storage is almost full.  When I go in managing storage in System Preferences/iCloud, I have 1 GB in iMovie.  When I go to iMovie on iCloud.com, it has no icon in iMovie.

  How can I find on what is stored in iMovie.  I can't determine the iMovie application and since there is no iMovie on iCloud.com icon, it doesn't seem to be a way to know what are the files/folders.  I don't want to delete the documents and data until I know if it's something I want to discard or save.

  Hello DaveH123!

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It seems that you are short on storage iCloud and can not find the culprit to iCloud.com. You did a good job trying to find what is stored in iCloud to iMovie. After some research, here is what I found.

  You can find which movies you downloaded from iMovie to iCloud in iMovie himself, using the above article.

• playlist for syncing icloud

  Hello

  I have all my songs in my playlist. Unfortunately, since my phone is only 16 GB I bought storage 50 GB icloud. Now, I need to understand how to move my playlists from my internal storage and move them to my iCloud, while I have storage for my photos.

  Can I ask someone's help by doing this?

  Thank you.

  Sorry, but storage iCloud is an external source to store data other than the specific data that iCloud supports:

  Backup device

  Apple music (in the iCloud, music library, that uses your iCloud storage)

  iTunes game (ditto)

  Pictures (when using iCloud photo library only)

  Thus, there is no way to "move" your playlist to iCloud to free storage on your device. If your pictures take a lot of space and you don't use icloud photo library, you must import your Photos on your computer:

  PHOTO IMPORT IOS ON MAC/PC

  When you do import, it should give you the option to delete imported photos, or you can manually delete it after checking that the photos you want to keep are all safely loaded on the computer.

  If you use iCloud photo library, then your photos are already in the iCloud, and you must just ensure that optimize Photos is enabled on your device to make sure iCloud photo library will manage the amount of memory used on your device dynamically.

• problem syncing iCloud: Photos on Mac OS x, do not sync with the iPad, iPhone

  I pay 200 GB of storage iCloud, available are still 139 GB. My photo library is 93,25 GB in size.

  While my two iPhone6 and my iPad seem to be reasonably in sync, the photo library on my MacBook Pro is anything but in phase: there is an inconsistency in the number of photos by more than 2000.

  The Photos on my Mac app tells me it's the download, but this goes for weeks without any tangible results.

  I'm tempted to stop using iCloud and go back to the old fashioned synchronizes local of my devices - is not the answer, or?

  Try to go into System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing.

  Have you tried the signature to iCloud and then reconnect?

• Why can't I manually manage music with iCloud and Apple active?

  In a previous discussion, the following point kept deployed: "you must disable the iCloud library in settings on the iPhone, and then manage it manually the music and videos option will be available again."

  True, but... WHY? # * % $! ' s sake, I should be able to choose what songs go on my device, regardless of source of the source file. As it is, when I keep iCloud and Apple music enabled on my iPad, I find myself with random files on it which I can't delete until I stopped the two aforementioned services. More than once, my iPad has mysteriously filled to capacity with I not not choose or play music.

  It is a major problem, and it needs to be fixed. Apple, please allow users to control their own devices and files the way they prefer. If I want a song on my device, I'll put it here, my computer, from iCloud, Apple music or from iTunes. I just want to play, I'll listen without downloading it. Period. Any necessary additional complications.

• Smartphones blackBerry desperately need help: Desktop Manager, Media Sync

  Hi guys,.

  I am desperate for help. I have read through the Help menu and was functional on all night without success.

  Last night I installed the Desktop Manager from the CD that came with my 8310 and I also downloaded and installed the Media Sync application on the Blackberry website. Subsequently, I decided to download OS 4.5 since my curve runs only 4.2.

  I connected my Blackberry via USB and noticed that as soon as I do this, I can click is no longer on the Desktop Manager. I looked in the Office Manager in my system tray and confirmed that it "was still working", as well as in my task manager which revealed that he was still in the market.

  Possibly by a moat, I managed to get the Application Manager to work and tried to install OS 4.5. I heard that it takes a while, so I left it all night with my computer expecting to come back in the morning. When I go back to him, it was still in the phase of 'back-up device', but no progress in the progress bar. Looking at my curve revealed my usual home screen. As my button cancel in the request was not clickable, I had to unplug and put an end to the program using the Task Manager.

  I restarted the computer and I tried to start the Desktop Manager and plug in the unit. The Director of office prompted me for my password, I entered, and he said that it was a link on the blackberry and the Desktop Manager. I tried to click on the different options (Application Manager, Media Manager, etc.) but found that they were not clickable. Nothing happens when I click on them. I tried to look at the connection in the Options, but found that I can't click on that.

  I decided to try the next Media Sync. I opened Media Sync and put my password. After that I put my password, it says that it cannot connect to the device, please try again. I click Retry, nothing.

  I will go back to the Desktop Manager, unplug the blackberry, click Application Manager (as it is the only way I can make it work) and plug the blackberry again after that the Application Manager has started to work. I try to start the installation of the OS 4.5.

  He starts it connects to device stage, then stops and says that he "cannot connect to the device. You will need to enter a password on the device. ». No password box appears, and the screen of my blackberry only said that it is connected to the computer.

  I've included some shots of what's going on.

  Media sync

  Application Manager

  Director of office

  BlackBerry

  Please note that the Blackberry is the display that it is connected to the computer, but the Desktop Manager now says it is not.

  Questions

  For the screencapture above, please note how the Desktop Manager now says that the device is connected, but the same result can be shown with the Media Sync.

  The problem is now resolved, but I do not know why.

  Two days ago, I installed and then decided to uninstall Facebook. I downloaded the latest version of the Desktop Manager, once again, and when I plugged in my phone, it worked. I have tried since then with the same results.

  I'm really happy about it! But I still don't know what happened, or if the installation of Facebook had nothing to do with it.

• Smartphones from blackBerry Desktop Manager - Calendar sync does not

  I noticed today that my calendar sync has not worked for a week or two. Nothing moves device or outlook, they are simply not speaking.  When you click on synchronize that he told me that he is dealing with, he lights the BB with the photo of transfer, he tells me "please a moment" then stops and returns to DM (as if he did so quickly, that I missed). But it does nothing, I checked the paper, nothing is recorded for calendar synchronization.

  Tasks, Memo, and address book are all working very well (it is a non set - up) so I've unchecked them to sync, so I can focus on the calendar.

  I uninstalled the Desktop Manager (and cleaned of all research in the files of application etc.) and then reinstalled version DM 5 - which does not set it.

  I used the backup & restore, Advanced Options and schedule database deleted completely then tried one-way synchronization from the pc to the device - that did not set it.

  I tried restoring from an old calendar backup - which does not set it.

  I restarted the phone - which does not set it.

  3 hours later, I am all ideas... any help would be appreciated please.

  I wiped my handheld completely computer (settings / options-> Security-> General settings options-> push the menu button and choose "scrub Pocket")

  Restored from backup, and now the clock works again.

• problem syncing icloud photo library

  Hello

  I rearrange the folders and photos on my iMac. When I opened my ipad or macbook pro, I see without any photo folders. I understood that rearranged folder and photos in iMac, are mirrored. That is why only created folder shown in other devices. What can I do to see things like my imac on my other devices?

• iCloud backups / file management / free space

  I have trouble managing the use of space in my icloud account.

  I find it very intuitive and difficult to understand exactly what I am to be invited to do everything by managing the settings.

  In other words, I find some options very unclear.

  Signature in icloud on my mac through chrome browser, I am told that I use 4.4/5 GB.

  It is stated that most of this is my iPad.

  I suspect that most are backups of my real-world applications.

  There is nothing else I backup via iCloud.

  and I don't even save most of the data in applications.

  I usually back up on my mac and remove the actual data of the apps to save space on my pad.

  I tried to remove some of the saved app data

  but it has released only a few KB.

  When, on the ipad, I go to:

  Settings-> iCloud-> storage management

  and goes off a few backup app, as I said, not useful space is released.

  All this used a space could be due to many throughout the system to the top of the iPad.

  But there seems to be no option to remove individual backups, only to stop iPad backup completely and remove the content FULL of all my backups [or, for "extra space"-"ideally"):]

  In addition, it seems impossible to manage this through iCloud.com on my browser on mac OS x.

  It seems that I have to use my iPad, which is also unnecessary in this case.

  I prefer to manage it via my computer, using the keyboard and mouse and a respectable real file management interface; rather than some indigestible, imprecise, difficult to navigate, near-useless, icon-business, as it is.

  If anyone can help diagnose me exactly how much space is used,

  and how I can release disk space without having to stop my system backup and removing all existing backups together in order to have space [which seems completely redundant and the purpose of defeating]

  .... I'd highly appreciate such opinions.

  As a note on the side of criticism; I really find the iOS any system file management, with its 'fun icon' interface approach, but almost zero - control and utility in terms of management of files, to be very tedious / frustrating / tedious.

  Why not give me a "finder" style access to file systems; so I can see clearly what is in place, I can remove, etc.

  Sorry if this is State the obvious; but; in all there are no such problems with android and google reader.

  iOS has been closed like that since the first day. If you want or need a file system, you will need to use an Android device. Your comment has no value here. Apple does not take its direction from remarks made here.

  You can send your comments to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  iCloud.com is not designed to handle files, only the content.

  From your iPad itself, go to settings > general > storage & use iCloud > iCloud > Storage manage and look in the section of backups . You should see backups that you created and its size, on iCloud for your iPad. Tap on your iPad and there is an option to delete the backup here.

  Your applications are not in your backup. They are stored on the App store, where they can be downloaded again if necessary. Toggling off the coast of the backup of the data of the App has questionable value because it is only of data an application creates, not the application itself. If you share an Apple ID with anyone or any other device, their content goes to iCloud as well. 5GB allowance is per Apple ID, not per device.

• calendars not syncing from iphone to icloud and ipad

  Events, I put on my calendar on my iPhone are not sync icloud or ipad. Running iOS iPhone 6 + 9.3, iPad iOS 9.3 mini3 and PC Win10 Pro with iCloud. Did not work before 9.3.  Have checked and set all settings in iPhone and iPad to match anything will do.

  Did you check in settings > Mail, Contacts and calendars on your phone to see if you synchronize calendars with your email instead of iCloud? If Yes, then your events are synchronization with this e-mail account and all you have to do is cut and they will be then synchronized with iCloud.

• Photo library no longer sync to iCloud

  On a whim, I decided to check to see if my photos on my MacBook Pro (in OS X version 10.11.3) have increased on the library in my iCloud account and found out that the were not the pictures. It seems that other than 2 pictures (of many) on 24 December, nothing has been transferred to iCloud for my Mac since October 9. Photos taken with my iPhone 5 s appear in the iCloud library, so this seems to be just a problem with the Mac. I also see that the changes I made on the Mac for iPhone photos are not sync iCloud or my library on my iPhone. I signed up for storage iCloud around August or September 2015, while I could use as a backup of my photos and have them sync between devices. In System Preferences/iCloud/Photos, I remember selection iCloud photo library, but not my stream of photos or iCloud, photo sharing. However, when I look at these options today, iCloud that library is not checked and My Photo Stream and iCloud, sharing of photos are checked. I thought I could change it right back, but when I check the option library iCloud now, it shows that I don't have enough space on the cloud. I plan to store 200 GB and only 56 GB left, because the majority of my photos (144 GB) is already there. How can I get new photos and retouching to iCloud and ensure that it continues to work as it should? Of course, I don't have photos that are already in place in iCloud to redownload. Which took several days to get them right the first time! Thank you very much for your help!

  I suspect that it is a temporary problem until you get you Mac fully synchronized with the cloud again. You should not, but I guess that if you have subscribed to the plan of 1 TB for a month, the problem may resolve itself and you might return to the 200 GB plan. If you went down this path I'd be inclined to contact Apple first to see if you can not re-credited for your temporary subscription.

  The other alternative would be to stop iCloud photo library on your phone, manually transfer the missing photos on your Mac, delete all the photos in the cloud and then turn it back on in iCloud photo library on the Mac. I'm not sure I want to try it myself.

• BlackBerry 8830 smartphones & Desktop Manager does not recognize Outlook Express 2000, cannot sync

  I just installed Desktop Manager 5.0 and connected to my BB 8830.  I use Outlook Express 2000 for the calendar and I want to sync it with my BB 8330.  However, in Desktop Manager under Sync / Config / select the device for the calendar, the only choices are Yahoo and text import/export.  Of course, it does not recognize Outlook Express 2000 as a calendar program.  Does anyone have a solution?

  I bought this 8830 mainly to sync its calendar with my Outlook Express calendar.  If this does not work, then I'll go back to my cell phone operator.

  I installed Desktop Manager 4.1 and it works now.  Be aware with this version, once you connect your BB to your computer, unless you go through the Wizard Windows Found New Hardware, Desktop Manager does not recognize the connection with your BB and your computer (I don't have to do with version 5.0).

  RIM should be more attentive to people with a recent phone, but still using an earlier version of Microsoft Outlook / office.

  Just to be clear, iCloud backup & iCloud drive are essentially two separate things.

  This can be useful, iCloud is primarily a service synchronization. Means that it can take the changes you make on one device and other devices to update this change if you do not have to be done individually on each device. Useful if you have more device. iCloud Drive is the term used for the part of iCloud that can synchronize files between your devices, just like Dropbox. iCloud backup is the backup of live data to iCloud part. Sync services aren't backups, just a way for your data reach another device.

  On your iPhone, if you go to:

  Settings > general > Srorage & use iCloud > manage storage (under iCloud) > [phone] (BACKUPS)

  You can see what data is stored for each application (Tap 'Show all Apps' if necessary).
