My iCloud data drive is too big for my Macbook Air 128

I have an iMac with all my data synchronized with iCloud drive for all my devices, but just got a new Macbook Air with a 128 GB drive... and my iCloud data does not fit on my Air...

How to manage what I want to be in sync to iCloud for my Air?

I did that for years w / Dropbox or Google Drive, as part of "selective sync".

It will be easier with the next modernization of the system.  macOS Sierra will allow you to store your desktop and Documents folder on iCloud and download only a subset of your documents, if you have enabled "Optimize storage", see this link: Preview - Apple macOS

Until you can upgrade to the new system, I disable iCloud Drive on your new Mac and access only iCloud by car via the web interface at www.icloud.com or remove many documents as possible to iCloud, so it fits on your Mac as a reader.

  • downloaded file too big for the flash player movie

    I downloaded a HD movie on my computer, but I want to put it on a Sandisk 32 GB flash drive. When I tried to drag it to the flash drive, it says that the file could not be copied because it was too big for the size of the volume. The site I downloaded the movie says something about the use of IGetter. I Igetter in my applications, but it does not open because it says it's a developer not identified. (This may be before Yosemite download.) Anyway, my question is, is it possible to download and save a movie on a flash drive?

    You must clear the disc in one format other than FAT32 or to segment the file so that the files are smaller than 4 GB.

  • Size of the file too big for the destination

    I made a video 9.50 GB as indicated by the display of 'properties' of Windows 7.  When I tried to download it to a flash drive 16 GB, and also a 128 GB flash drive, I got an error message that the file was too big for the destination.

    How can I solve this?

    If your flash drives have been formatted using FAT32, the maximum file size is 4 GB.  Format the disks using NTFS or exFAT.

  • Mp3 download too big for disc

    MP3 download is audio, 1 week, says too big for the disk.  How / can get this on a disc.

    Using Windows Media Player

    Want to burn an Audio CD

    MP3 file size is 112 MB

    =======================================
    No thanks for the info... no apparent problems there but you
    did not include the duration... as mentioned HairyFool...
    I suspect that the MP3 is the question.

    Check the time on your CD limit compared to
    the duration of your MP3 file.

    A thought more...

    If your CD player is compatible with MP3
    files... you could burn CDs of data that would be much
    space for your 112MB file and several others until the
    the CD file size limit.

  • My screen is too big for my screen and I can't fix it

    For some reason, my screen is now too big for my screen. I can see is over the top (File, edit, minimize, close) or down (the Start button, the clock) at the same time without having to move my mouse in these articles. But it's not fair when I use the internet. That's all the time. When I try to change the resolution, it doesn't change what I see on my screen and I do not see how much of it. Restart do no good either. I have an Eee PC Netbook, model 1005HA. It is brand new. Can anyone think what I can try? Thank you!

    In fact, I realized what it was. Apparently, my screen was changed into a different mode, to do this. How he got that way, I don't know, but it's fixed now. Thank you!

  • I use outlook express 6 and I can receive an email of great but when I try to send it after making the necessary changes, i.e. the signature I get the message 'too big for the server.

    I use outlook express 6 and I can receive an email of great but when I try to send it after making the necessary changes, i.e. the signature I get the message "too big for the server" responses I've seen so far tell me absolutely nothing

    Well, the error message says it all.  "" too big for server".

    There is a limit imposed by your ISP/mail server, which you don't mention.

    Not only the servers have limits on the size, this is not necessarily the same for incoming and outgoing messages.

    If you say you use the e-mail program and the name of your e-mail server, maybe we can shed light on the more specific issue, but the problem is definitely with them and not Outlook Express.

    P.S. I'm not sure what you mean by 'signature'

  • Is it possible to exchange a macbook for a macbook air?

    I want to know if its possible to Exchange my Macbook for a Macbook air free or not free because when I download something on the internet for mac and I have to open the download file, that it says mount failed or it cannot read the file, ITS A DMG FILE NOT A EXE also most of the things that I download are for other versions of mac and I'm trying to update my mac by clicking on the icon Apple and update, then yes also something also won't work as when I go to a website like math splash because his homework and I can't do it on my mac, I'd use my windows but I love my mac because that his laptop and also I feel that my mac is no longer supported for nothing I feel like that because I have an older version of itunes this setting to day can't because it says it cannot connect to the itunes server then Yes please answer and here are the details of my mac: Version 10.4.11 model identifier 2.1 Build 8S 2167 then Yes please please please please! answer so I don't have to get an OTHER COMPUTER im my house thank you and please answer!

    Apple does not have the times. If the computer is new and within 14 days from the date of purchase, then you can return it for an Exchange. It will probably not be free. However, you must understand that the problem you described is not caused by the model of computer you have, and it will not fix another computer or another. Given the age of your model, the best you can expect is for sale on eBay, although there are retailers such as Expercom.com which will give you something in trade. But for those who have it won't be much.

    For the model that you have you need to back up your files, the boot from your OS X DVD, erase the drive, then reinstall OS X and also far that you can improve it - which is probably the leopard to snow you can buy on the Apple Online Store for $19.00 plus taxes and shipping.

    Before you buy a new Mac, as a test, save your user files, erase the hard drive, install Mac OS X and then install only your most used applications. It should work like new.

    Any model of Mac bought today, will run Keynote, and Photo editing with ease.
