Use iCloud ID to connect on Mac

I use my Apple ID to connect my Mac Mini at startup. However, my MacBook Pro does not offer me the possibility to use my iCloud ID to open a session. When I try to change my password, system preferences = > users and groups = > change password gives me only the same old options, no option to iCloud. Both computers are running up-to-date El Capitan. Any ideas?

This feature has been removed in an update to El Capitan. What I read, if you had put in place before the update, you can continue to use it. If it was't put in place, it is no longer an option.

  • How to restore a photo library using iCloud on a MacBook?

    I now use iCloud for back up my entire library (more than 200 GB).  How to restore a photo library (including all data of pictures like faces, events, etc.) on my MacBook Pro when my MacBook Pro needs to be replaced?

    I used historically Time Machine to backup and restore my library when my photo library migration to another laptop.  However, I now do not have a backup Time Machine full of my library because the library is too large to store locally.  So now, I'm opting for storing it on iCloud to Apple servers using their 'optimize' Photos option.  Now, if I replace my laptop, I would be sure that as transparent as Time Machine restore solution is to obtain and import the Photo library (for example, the index of all my photos, events / files, location tags, face tags, etc.) on my new laptop directly from iCloud.

    Enjoy any clarity in iCloud library restore capabilities!

    I now use iCloud for back up my entire library (more than 200 GB).  How to restore a photo library (including all data of pictures like faces, events, etc.) on my MacBook Pro when my MacBook Pro needs to be replaced?

    You can create an empty photo library on your new Mac, and then enable iCloud photo library for this new library of Photos.  The library will download icloud, and most of the elements will be restored.

    But iCloud is not a backup. It's a centralized storage to keep all libraries updated on all your devices.

    There are some things that will not be restored to iCloud, for example the albums faces or your projects.

    This document describes how a library will be uploaded to iCloud to another Mac:

    Use iCloud photo library on several Mac - Apple Support computers and Photos

    After have connected you, these items appear in the Photos on your Mac app:

    • All photos and original videos
    • All folders and albums
    • Smart albums
    • Keywords
    • Keywords from searches of the tile faces
    • Key photo selections

    These items are available only on the Mac where you created the:

    • Books, cards and calendars
    • Slideshows
    • Keyword shortcuts
    • Unused keywords
    • Last album imported (this album contains photos you have imported recently on a specific Mac)
    • Facing tiles and faces of the data

    I is not entirely based on iCloud as a backup of your photos, but sometimes create a copy of your photo library on an external drive. In this way, you can restore your library, even if you are having problems with the internet connection, and it will be faster.

    3. On your Mac, the Photos app automatically opens. If not, open the Photos app.
    4. The Photos app shows a screen of import with all photos and videos that can be found on the connected device. If the import screen does not automatically appear, click the Import tab at the top of the Photos app, or click on the name of the device in the sidebar of Photos.
    5. To import a selection of photos, click the ones you want, and then click Import selection. To import all new pictures, click Import all Photos again.
    6. Once the import is complete, a message asks if you want to delete or keep the photos on your device. Click on remove items to remove photos or click on keep items to keep them on the device.
      If you select keep items, you will need to remove them directly from your device when you want to remove.
    7. You can now disconnect your device from your Mac. If you imported photos from an SD card or USB, safely eject the device first device.

    Imported photos appear in the album last import of the Photos app.

    Photos and videos that sync you from your computer on your device iOS through iTunes can be imported to your computer.

    Know what to do If you can not import pictures from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer.

    Once you have made sure all the photos have been imported to your Mac, you can then safely remove them from your iPhone. The iPhone user guide has the steps to remove photos from your iPhone, in particular, this section:

    Delete a picture or video from pictures. Click on the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, press on , then press to remove the Photo or video delete. Deleted photos and videos are stored in the album recently deleted on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently deleted from the iPhone. To permanently delete the photo or video before the days expire, tap the item, tap on delete, then remove the Photo or video delete. If you use iCloud photo library, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all your devices using iCloud photo library with the same Apple ID.

  • If I use iCloud photo library to share photos on my Mac, make the stay of the files full original size on my Mac or they stored in the cloud?

    If I use iCloud photo library to share photos on my Mac, make the stay of the files full original size on my Mac or they stored in the cloud?

    Thank you!

    The photos full size will always go to the cloud. They also remain on (or download) your Mac depends on if 'Download this Mac originals' or 'Optimize Mac storage' is ticked in Photos > Preferences > iCloud. If it is enabled, it also depends on how much storage is available on your Mac.

  • My MAC friends tell me NOT to use icloud email address.

    My MAC friends tell me NOT to use icloud email address.

    They advised me that because they claim that icloud email address cannot be deleted.   I speak no deletion of an Apple or iCloud account. I'm simply talking about the ability to delete an icloud email address.

    They tell me to use Gmail, Yahoo or AOL, as these companies allow you to erase / delete an email address.   It just looks good to me. I'm trying to get the best advice.

    Thank you

    ICloud e-mail address is provided for you once you've created an Apple ID (which is the same as your email address valid)

    Your iCloud email address is also an alias of your Apple ID and Yes, you can change your username (email address) Apple

  • 'Use iCloud password' on mac not an option

    Good evening

    I am trying to solve a problem that I've had for the last few days. In fact, when I go to users and groups and click on 'change password', I don't get the option "use iCloud password. It was working fine until I did a factory reset. I did the recovery erased my entire drive, then reinstalled the operating system. Happen if is that he sent me back to the Mavericks of OS and then I've upgraded to El Capitan. Would it be the reason that the option does not appear? I tried everything I could think of. Signature to an exit to iCloud. I even changed my password to iCloud. I have reset my keychain. I even spoke in support, and they could really help me. Please let me know.

  • Is it possible to connect my Mac mini to my Mac Pro laptop using the memory on my mac mini for installing software Ableton as I don't have 3 GB available on my Mac Pro.

    Is it possible to connect my Mac mini to my Mac Pro laptop using the memory on my mac mini for installing software Ableton as I don't have 3 GB available on my Mac Pro.

    I want to download Ableton software, but it requires 3 GB of free memory that I have available on my MacPro laptop not because most of it is used for my library of music because I'm a DJ.

    I'm not sure how I can do it or not at all.

    Thank you very much.

    1. a Mac Pro is not a laptop. Its a big desktop computer.  You probably have a MacBook Pro, which is a laptop.

    2. No, you cannot share the memory (live RAM) or storage (disk space, which is not memory) like that between computers.

    However, it is very very bad practice to have so little storage space available for your computer.   If you have less than 3 GB, you should seriously consider an external drive. and unload some files on the outside. Its best not to leave your hard drive to go below 10 GB of free space because it can seriously affect your computer's performance.
