• Configuration of backups from iCloud drive: why are there two Mobile Documents files?

  I've recently started using iCloud drive to synchronize documents between my Mac and iOS devices. Now, I want to assure you that I have local backups of these documents.

  I understand that the documents synchronized via iCloud are store locally in my Mobile user home/library/Documents folder. But when I check I made 2 folders: Documents Mobile and Mobile Documents.90391253.  The Documents Mobile folder seems to keep all the records that I created using Pages, drafts and TextEdit.  The second folder has files with obscure names such as ' JFJWWP64QD ~ com ~ goodiware ~ GoodReader. ". Records of Documents that I checked are empty.

  Here is a screenshot of the second folder:

  

  Why are there two folders of Documents Mobile? When you add a folder to a backup program, I would add two folders or just the folder Documents Mobile?

  The second folder (the one your screenshot) is a backup of an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, which was made via iTunes. More information: finding and managing your backups iTunes - Apple Support

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes game against external hard drive, Solid State etc. to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

  First question: what are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes Match against Solid State external hard drive etc to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

  Please let me know what are the alternatives for storage of my songs, playlists, song etc. other than iTunes game ratings ($ 24.99 / year)?  Is there a way to store all my songs with my song ratings, playlists, etc. with a CD song quality? Most of my (currently 130 GB) songs on my computer are CD quality that I prefer to keep as well as my notes of each song (i.e. 5 * vs. 4 * etc.), playlists, groups (music, classical, popular, country etc.).  What are the advantages and disadvantages to store my iTunes songs while CD quality with my personal notes, reading lists, groupings in the cloud?  ICloud of Apple Drive ($ 2.99 per month or $36 / year for 200 GB) would be the best way to automatically update and maintain my rankings iTunes personal including the future editions of the song etc or using Amazon, IBM, Microsoft etc cloud or an external hard drive SSD would work as well and maybe cheaper?  I currently have my iTunes on a PC of 2007 with vista (I use a 1 8T Western Digital external upward by car for my personal info all over HP, songs, photos etc. which is currently close to 170 GB) but also have an Apple i-phone 6 & I Air cushion.  Although I did not need to have all of my music with all their sides, etc. available on all of my devices at all times as iTunes game, I still would have easy access to information on both my PC and my iPhone or iPad?  Thank you.

  In my opinion?

  I back up my data to an external drive for several reasons.  The first is my data - if I put on the cloud, someone else has control over it, they can see what I have and change the preferences to what they see of marketing.

  Almost as important as that - if I had to rely on the cloud whenever I wanted to update my playlists on my phone, I need a better internet connection I have now (working at sea).  To get the best out of the cloud, you need a solid link to home, work or mobile.

  As a spin-off - I hate the fact that Apple take away a feature in their software updates and then allow an app to be sold in their store to replace this feature - or worse still, some features that were available before the updates are now "cloud only."  And Yes - you have to pay for the cloud.  I like most of the people do not appreciate the 'accomplished fact. "

  From the back of the external hard drive ASI downside, is that to be safe, you need to store outside in a separate computer place.  If keep you them together, if one is lost, probably, they are both.  That is to say for me a full backup before you travel, then a new upward as soon as I go home.  Downside is how much data may be lost between the two back ups if I needed to restore.  For me, its worth the risk.  If I was away and say had bought a ton of new music and couldn't go home anytime soon, I can always head to the store and buy a new external drive, they are massively expensive.  Even if my computer has to go for repair and my remote is to halfway around the world - I want to buy a new one.

  Now, some will say that once you buy a new external, you spend more than you would on a cloud subscription.  It's true, but in the 6 years following the purchase of Mac that I've only had to buy a new external once - so with a little luck and planning - it works.

  I left took well - I am not a subscriber of cloud, nor do I want to be.

• Use iCloud settings shuts off when I opened the Pages and Numbers

  I have docs Pages and Numbers in iCloud (no road to iCloud) I want to access. There, they were stored on my old iPad 2 current running iOS 7.1.2 2.2.2 Pages and Numbers 2.2.2. I do not use iCloud Drive, just the 5 GB of storage free iCloud.

  On my new iPad 2 Air 2.6.2 performer 9.3.2,and 2.6.2 and number Pages when I opened two app, their desktop computers do not show the docs to iCloud. When I go to the settings in the applications of bot and activate using iCloud, as soon as I open an app, when I look in settings, with the iCloud button automatically turn off the coast. The only pop-up menus to choose from for iCloud on the new iPad 2 Air must use iCloud Drive, which I don't use.

  Is there a certain limitation in these apps that only allows to use iCloud drive and not the 5 GB free iCloud I use?

  Tips on how to connect to these docs Pages and Numbers in iCloud on my iPad 2? I know that I could email them to me, but that would be a lot of work.

  You do not use more of your space free storage on iCloud by using iCloud drive. iCloud Drive is simply the latest, most updated to access your documents in iCloud iOS 9.

  I suggest to turn it on and use it.

• How can I move music and photos from my MacBook on an external hard drive, files without deleting the existing NTFS files stored on it?

  Hello.

  I am aware that this issue (or different versions of it) will be requested a thousand times before, but after searching on the internet for a solution, I have been unable to find all the information that brings a simple clear answer that is specific to my problem and so thought I would ask the question myself.

  I recently bought a Toshiba 1 TB external hard drive to transfer music, photo files and internal document in front of the memory of my old PC running Windows, as well as files, music and photos from my existing MacBook Pro, so I can "release" the memory on the latter.

  Transfer files from the old PC proved to be easy; success achieved by simple drag / drop the files to the appropriate location on the external HD icon of Toshiba which appears once I connected to a USB port. It is perhaps worth mentioning that the area of States hard drive has been formatted NTFS for Windows, and so I guess that I would not have expected any problems when transferred to a PC.

  Move the files from my MacBook has however proved anything but simple and trying to drag the respective music and photo files and drop them on the HD Toshiba icon (which appears on my desktop once it is plugged), I seem to be affected by the same issues as so much seems to have it before me, in that "forbidden access" / error symbol appears with the cursor , and bounce the files to their original location whenever I try to place them on the Toshiba HD.

  I understand that this is due to the HD is formatted in NTFS, and that I would need to reformat the hard drive to move files from my MacBook, which brings me to my questions:-

  (a) how do I do this, and

  (b) can I do this without losing, damage or remove the NTFS files from my old PC, which are already stored on the external hard drive.

  If one is able to offer any assistance, in the most simple, easy to follow the description, I would be really grateful!

  Never been so thanks in advance!

  1 install software such as Paragon NTFS on the Mac and let the reader in its current form or from the Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open disk utility and reformat.

  2. that by putting a copy on another drive. You should do this anyway, in case of failure of this drive.

• Should I use iCloud drive to share documents with a member of the family?

  My wife has retired and is buying an iPad Pro to replace his work computer.  It is not an advanced user.

  If she wants to keep a document, can send it to my iCloud for storing drive?  Works the family shares in iCloud drive, as in iCloud?

  I am less interested in sharing music etc to save some documents.

  Thank you.

  Well, it depends on how the device is connected. It has its own ID-Apple/iCloud? I would recommend that it should have its own, as sharing an iCloud or Apple ID may cause Messages, FaceTime, Notes, virtually everything to share between the two phones. Most people find it quite annoying.

  If it is signed with the ID Apple/iCloud then she would need to set up and use his own iCloud drive - it is not a part of the family sharing.

  If it is signed with your identifying Apple/iCloud, she can use your iCloud drive.

  You can also send your request of family sharing support iCloud drive from Apple here, if you wish: Apple - Feedback

• I don't want to use icloud drive

• Use iCloud drive of old photos, * no * app Photos

  I am trying to find a solution of 100 GB storage of photo files and video, all structured in folders, on a Macbook running El Capitan. I'd take it with an iPhone.

  I want that all the pictures to move OFF the macbook in the cloud somewhere in space. I don't want their synchronized everywhere - this is why the new Photo app does not seem to do the trick. I looked at Flickr, but will not store video files to m4a.

  I wonder if I can simply move photos/videos, in their cases, in the iCloud Drive on the Macbook? While they would be accessible and stored only in the cloud, not on my devices. I don't want to look on the Mac and the iPhone. Ideally then as I would an automated solution to copy new photos taken in the same place, where I will place the in albums/folders periodically.

  Hope it is clear and all advice welcomed.

  iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external storage system. If you delete them from the computer/device they will be deleted to iCloud. For the computer, go to preferences/Photos/iCloud and select optimize. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.

• Using the drive almost always at 100% at the start and sometimes at other times

  Recently, my laptop seemed particularly overwrought, even when executing threads. Whenever I start it (and also sometimes at random so that I use for light work), it is much slower than it has been in the past, and when I check the tast Manager, it says that the disc is in 90 to 100% almost every time. So I watch programs using the floppy and almost all of them use it with a rate of 0 MB/s, and all other use at a fairly slow pace. I know it's normal for notebook computers to slow down over time (mine is a little over a year old), but I wonder if it is an expected behavior. I find it odd that the drive is the treatment so furiously, but it seems to me that no program is really use it. I enclose below, pictures of my complete task manager a few minutes after starting.

  My processor is an Intel i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40 GHz and I have 12 GB of RAM.

• Backup in videos and photos as iTunes backup

  My son has a ton of pictures (and videos) on his iPhone 5s. There are currently on IOS 8.x. I want to upgrade his phone to the standard ISO 9.x. If I connect to iTunes and do a "backup", everything on the phone (including photos and video) gets backup upward? I know that when I connect my iPhone, the Photo app opens asking me to download my pictures from my phone. I know that it is a good idea as well, but if I skip that step and JUST do the iTunes backup, I know where I have to erase and restore the backup? I will answer all my photos as well?

  Thank you.

  A particular interest should be 10 point above which explains how iOS and iTunes backups differ. Normally, the photos are stored on the computer or in a pictures/iPhoto library, rather than in iTunes or iOS because of concerns of the storage space. It's the same for videos. Both, however, can be stored in your iTunes for syncing your devices.

  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).
