How does one access data in the cloud from two different computers

This isn't a problem but a question anticipating a possible problem.
I have a MacBook Air running os X (version 10.8.2) and a desktop iMac runing 10.7
I notice that when I create a PAGES document on the Macbook Air, it automatically saves to the cloud with a tef extension unless I force the file to save to the hard drive.  Data on the hard drive is backed up, of course.  But there are files saved to the cloud that are not saved to my external time machine drive.
If I lost the drive on the MacBook Air, can I retrieve the files in the cloud?  I have the other computer, but I don't think that OS 10.7.x can access those cloud files and I've been told that the iMac can not be upgraded to 10.8
Even if I could load 10.8 on the IMac--how would I get to those files if I am not on my personal MacBook Air?  What's the key to retrieving that data?  I've checked some of the manuals that I have and they very happily tell you how to save files to the cloud.  There's no discussion on what to do if things go wrong. 
I know how I would retrieve my oracle data here at work if I was sitting at another terminal--what's the equivalent process if I was sitting at another mac machine?

Documents saved via the applications in 10.8 can be accessed from iCloud.com on any computer providing you have a mobile iWork application.
Whilst documents are saved to iCloud on your 10.8 Mac, they are also written locally and therefore backed up with something like Time Machine.
if you did update your 10.7 Mac, things would merely become easier, you could access documents saved in (say) pages on one Mac in Pages on the other.

    How does one get rid of the stocks from Yahoo Finance on the notifications pull down bar on iPhone 5?

    If you mean you don't want to see the stocks at all in notification center go to Settings>Stock Widget and turn Notification Center to Off.  If you mean you want to remove some of the individual stocks shown, open the Stocks app, tap the "i " on the bottom right, tap next to the stocks you want to remove, then tap Done.

  • Is there a way to sync the ical from two different computers?

    My husband and I both have Macbook Pros, as well as two separate iphones. Is there a way to sync our calendars? Maybe using icloud?  I'm not very good at this stuff and would like for the calendar I create to sync with the calendar he creates.
    Thanks!

  • In Photo 1.0, how does one access the map showing where all photos were taken, as could be done previously in iPhoto?

    In Photo 1.0, how does one access the map showing where all photos were taken, as could be done previously in iPhoto?

    Hi JohnDory,
    The information side-bar from iPhoto has been removed in Photos App, and so it's been converted into a pop-up window showing both the exposure, aperture and so technical photo parameters, as well as the comments, faces and LOCATION for that photo.
    This small floating window is shown whenever you click the button in the app title bar, right clicking a specific photo or pressing ⌘i
    If you open the albums view (clicking in the name of the album list, NOT an album name, you can see in your left sidebar - which can be shown or hidden) and press ⌘i without selecting a specific photo the Info pop-up will show the map for your whole library (as well as the total amount of photos, videos, GB used, etc)
    So, I'm afraid the "Locations" view (which I really loved) from iPhoto has been ripped off... and we can only get "some sort of locations view" by this method.
    As for locations... there is no option for manual geotagging (so, setting location to a specific photography which doesn't have it yet)... that really ****** me off 
    Regards,

  • On ipad 2 ps touch just keeps crashing it appears from reviews this is a common problem, how does one access a refund

    On ipad 2 ps touch just keeps crashing it appears from reviews this is a common problem, how does one access a refund

    As stated, completely exit pst (don't just leave the app) and then activate airplane mode. Then open PST and change your cloud sync option to "off". Once you deactivate airplane mode, you should be able to open PST again without the crash. Iirc, I had to work at opening PST and accessing my settings very quickly or it would still crash before opening the settings page. Unfortunately, we have to completely forget about cloud sync until the bug is fixed. Save any image files back to the ios camera roll to share with other apps or upload elsewhere.

    How does one access "footers" in Dreamweaver cs6?
    Depends on your code.  If your site uses Server-side Includes, it's quite possible the footers are in a separate file in your site folder such as footer.php or footer.incl, or footer.html.
    If that's the case here, you need a local testing server to see them in your parent page.

  • How does one go about getting the Kit Kat upgrade?

    I've searched the Verizon site ad I can't find how to download it.  Must one be selected?

    Thanks for your reply.  I went to Settings and About Phone, however, there was a "System updates"  that showed a history and a "Check for new software update" key.  I tried that and it returned with Your phone is up to date.  I guess I'll have to wait for Verizon to send me an update.

    created by clydefrog4963 in Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - View the full discussionVerizon has started pushing the 4.4.4 KitKat update on the Note 3, I got mine today. It poppped up when connected to my computer on Kies but you can do it on your phone by going to settings, all the way to "about phone" at the bottom, then click on "software update." Its best to do this while connected to wifi, and make sure your phone is at least half charged.

  • HT204053 How do I access photos in the cloud

    How do I access photos in the cloud?  I've downloaded them to a laptop but I'm unable to delete them from the cloud.  it's used up all of my storage and I can't backup my iPhone because I don't have enough storage.

    If you're talking about photo stream photos, those don't take up any of your iCloud storage so deleting them won't save any space in your account.  You can delete them using your phone by opening your my photo stream album, tapping select, tapping the photos and tapping the trash icon.  Be sure to copy them out of the my photo stream folder on your computer before doing this or they will be deleted from your computer too.
    This article provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

  • [Solved] How does one go about changing the hostname in arch nowadays?

    Everything I've seen on the subject references /etc/rc.conf, which I believe is no longer used.
    I've updated /etc/hostname, but when hostname -f does not return the expected.

    Please see "man archlinux".
    Also, I can never remember if hostname is one of those things you need to reboot for...

  • How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

    How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

    icloud does not handle music, except for letting you download music you previously bought at the iTunes store.  For music, get it into iTunes on your PC, then connect your devices to the PC and using iTunes to sync it to them.  Not sure about Apple TV.  I think that might require buying a subscription to iTunes Match.

  • Can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone?

    I want to buy some songs from a HK Apple ID and a JP Apple ID.
    I just hope the songs of two Apple ID can appear in one iPhone.
    But I don't want can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone.

    Are you currently in Japan or Hong Kong ? You have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to buy or download from its store, that is included in the store's terms.
    You can sync content from different accounts from your computer's iTunes library.

  • How can I edit a PE 12 project on two different computers?

    I just installed Premiere Elements 12 on my Macbook Pro.  I created a test project with several video clips.  I then saved the project to an external drive to /Volumes/Media Library/Premiere Elements Projects.  I then configured all scratch disks to point to /Volumes/Media Library/Premiere Elements Projects as well.  I then used the Project Archiver utility to copy the project to this same directory.
    I then installed PE on my iMac, and opened the project.  After opening the project on my iMac, it complains that it cannot find related media files.
    How can I configure PE so I can open and edit a project on an external drive, from two different computers?
    -Thanks

    I am PC-only, so there are probably several things that are specific to a Mac, that I do not know, but I do this on my laptop and workstation all the time - both PC's.
    I set up an external HDD, so that it has the same drive letter in the OS of both computers. This is basically the same as the Mac Volume Name, but there are likely differences, that I do not know about.
    Then, I create a folder structure for my Project, with sub-folders for all media assets. I then either Capture to those, or Copy my "stock Assets" from my NAS.
    In PrE, I create New Project, in that Project folder structure, and then go to Edit>Preferences>Scratch Disks, and verify that all are set to Same As Project.
    I edit on the laptop, until I need to migrate to the workstation. I plug in that external, turn it on, and it's seen as the same drive letter, as with my laptop. I open PrE, navigate to my Project folder on the external, and Open it - all media, and all Scratch Disk files are there, with the same exact Path.
    Steve Grisetti, our MOD, uses both a PC and a Mac, so maybe he can talk about Volume Names, etc. on the Mac. I know that he does not migrate Projects to/from the PC and the Mac, as the PREL (Project) files are incompatible, but if he has two Macs, he'll be able to step you through Mac-specific issues.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
