Can i use icloud as a server and share files with others as it was possible before?!

iCloud does not provide general file storage and sharing. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:

  • IPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.

    iPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.  "The email server didn't recognise username/password combination".  Both appear correct in preferences/accounts.  Mail sends and receives messages perfectly.
    (This problem also occurs when trying to send from Thunderbird, however both iPhoto and Thunderbird can send perfectly well using the Gmail server).

    Hi there
    I should explain that I have 5 days experience of the iMac but have had a working iCloud account with my iPad for several months.  I don't think this is an iCloud issue as such. My thought is that this is something to do with the Mail application itself and its relationship to my Apple ID etc. (Perhaps when the iMac first configured itself?)
    I have deleted and manually reset both Mail and iPhone account settings for iCloud using the Apple recommended settings and I have tentatively checked that the username/password combination is as expected in Keychain but I'm too much of an Apple novice to go any further with that.
    On a PC I think I would try reinstalling the Mail programme but I don't see that as an option.

    Thanks! One more question ..... Will I have to enter appointments on an iCloud default calendar by logging in to my iCloud account every time, or can I just enter data on calendars in my 2 devices?

    Can I share files with others with iCloud Drive? ie: I want to collaborate on Garageband files

    No iDisk-like functionality exists in iCloud. You'll have to look elsewhere, such as Dropbox or SugarSync.

  • Can I delete icloud from my iMac and reinstall it with another apple ID?

    Can I delete icloud from my iMac and reinstall it with another apple ID? My original email for my apple id was hacked and I need to get rid of it but is stuck to my icloud on my imac. I changed it on all ios devices but cant on my imac. What can I do?

    Yes you can sign out of iCloud and log in with a different account. (System Preferences > iCloud > Sign Out)

  • I have 10Gb of photos on my iphone, so can choose only half of it (5Gb) and share it with icloud and leave the rest on my phone storage, or i must share all photos and videos (my whole camera roll)

    I have 10Gb of photos on my iphone, so can choose only half of it (5Gb) and share it with icloud and leave the rest on my phone storage, or i must share all photos and videos (my whole camera roll)

    No.  Your iCloud account only includes your the camera roll photos stored in the backup.  And they can only be accessed by restoring the backup to your phone.  Also, if you delete any photos from your camera roll and continue to back up, the backup that contained the deleted photos would be overwritten by one that doesn't and they would be lost.
    If you want to save some of them and delete them from your phone, import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. 
    Another option is to import all of them to your computer and delete them from your phone, then put the ones you want on your phone in a folder and sync them back to your phone by selecting the folder on the photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  The advantage of this approach is that synced photos are placed in an album called Photo Library, which is not included in the iCloud backup (since they are already backed up on your computer), thereby saving space in your iCloud account (which only backs up camera roll photos).

  • How should i share file with other devices such as nokia,blackberry and etc using bluetooth

    I want to share  files between other deivce such as nokia but couldnt, could u help me tell how can i share files with other devices???

    @AKRBTN: Thanks for the reply and info.
    That is a solution, but it really isn't viable.
    It is sad that apple refuses to support this.
    A simple example: Sitting somewhere with no signal and you want to share a file (photo) with your colleague or friend, who happens to be right next to you.
    Or even if there is signal and you don't want to be paying fees or data charges.
    Or you may be in a rehearsal studio and need to share that very important file and have no time to go outside and get signal and try to send the file, which then everyone else has to go outside and catch the signal and pay fees.
    Anyway, I see that this is a dead end with apple, so I guess I will be back to carrying 2 phones around again.
    Peace,

  • Can I use iCloud on my iPhone and iPad only? I have not updated my Mac to Lion.

    I haven't upgraded to Lion for a couple reasons. Can I use iCloud without having Lion on my Mac?
    Thanks!

    Many thanks for your prompt reply. I did indeed check that my ID was the same on both devices but I have just decided to re-enter my Account name and password on my iPhone under Settings/iCloud and this time suddently it created a Photo Stream album on my iPhone under Photos/Albums that did not exist before and I now have 43 identintical pictures on both my iPad and my iPhone so I don't know what magic you have but it worked and all is now well. Many thanks indeed from an admirer in the UK!

  • Accessing files stored in Common Server and share drive with  SAP DMS

    Hi DMS Gurus,
    We have a requirement, apart from retreving the data from content server storage, the client also wants the documents stored in common file server and Share drive also to be accessed through DMS,
    1) one option for this may be upload all the documents in the existing servers to DMS Content servers to get the full funtionality of DMS i'm i right? please suggest.
    here again they have lacs of document so this may not be a ideal solution, now 2nd option is
    2) create a data carrier and Mount points with the existing server if i'm right, but by just doing this what funtionalities will this provide
    i have a preassumption that this existing common server can be used as a storage area for DMS (as vault or common server), but only those documents which are stored in to this common server or shared folder through DMS can be retrived by DMS., again i'm i right?
    but how can we access all the lacs of file which are already existing there for years.
    how can we see all the documents in SAP DMS which are stored earlier in this common server before DMS,
    is migrating all the necessary preexisting documents to SAP DMS the only Solution for this.
    any solution for this please suggest.
    Points sure for any clarification given
    Thanks and  Regards

    hi Priya
    This is an old thread but nevertheless would like to give some inputs.
    your point .. common file server and Share drive also to be accessed through DMS,
    1) one option for this may be upload all the documents in the existing servers to DMS Content servers to get the full funtionality of DMS.
    <The option 1 is an ideal option as in future u would one day need to migarate the documents if u intend to use SAP DMS as the DMS system in ur org>
    Alternatively if the documents would still need to be retained in the file server but also would need to associate to SAP business objects u could use the Define data carrier external DMS.
    This again depend on what kind of documents are stored in the file server & are they relevant to be associated to SAP objects/ Transactions.
    The point here is u still want to use SAP DMS to view the file , all though there are other option as Archive link, Service for objects etc. Using SAP DMS option will still call for creating DIR in SAP & assigning the file path hyper link using LSMW /upload prog.
    So as for a temp sol till u clean up the file server u can use the hyperlink and later migrate to Content server.
    Regards

  • Can you use iCloud to sync contacts and still sync google contacts too

    Just switched my contacts over to sync using icloud between my imac, iphone and ipad. Im wondering, can I sync the contacts somehow with google also? Would be great to gave everyting together and have web access to contacts on any computer.

    I should've just tried it before I asked this question.  Once I disconnected my internet completely, I was able to fully see and use my iCloud Documents, etc... They must be stored elsewhere on the computer instead of somewhere obvious like the Documents folder.
    I was able to open, edit, etc... and it appears that once you do connect to the internet that the new edits will sync with what's stored on iCloud, and then become accessible to your other devices.
    Of course, I then after doing all this, found a similar question which already had answers.  Sorry to clutter up the forums.

  • Can I use Mac Mini Lion server and Time Machine 2Tb together?

    I have TM already and am looking to add a Mac Mini running O XS server soon. I use TM to back up my iMac and MacBook Pro laptop at present. My existing setup also includes a PC running windows which is backed up by an HP media smart server. I want to replace the PC with a Macmini running parallels and windows 7 to run my windows program's and want the TM to back this up also.  I would like the MM server to run my iTunes library to all Apple devices and need to access the files stored on the MM server from my iPad. Is this solution workable?

    The only differences between the current Mac Mini Server
    and the other Mini versions is that it has the quad core i7,
    comes with dual drives, and has the "Server app" installed.
    So, you could install Lion by itself as the server software
    is now a seperate "app" in Lion as opposed to being an
    integral part of the OS.
    BTW, what is the problem you are having?
    I am running a 2011 Mini Server as a desktop and simply
    just did not enable any of the server features when I first
    set up and have not had any issues using it as a desktop.

  • Using the server to share files with the clients

    Hello everybody!
    I finally managed to install properly iFolder on a server, and the client on a few computers. Unfortunately, I was suprised to see there is no functionality to upload from the server to the ifolders structure.
    I need to achieve this because the server I used is also used as a datacenter; I hoping to make the data available to each user directly on their own desktop using the mechanism integrated in the iFolder framework.
    Obviously, I would like to avoid copying back with ssh or ftp the files to one local client, and forth to the server using iFolder.
    The simplest thing would be to install a client on the server machine as well. Unfortunately, the folder monitoring function only works for graphical client, and my server does not have X installed.
    So my last resort would be to connect by ssh to the server machine, then start a non graphical web browser, connect to https://localhost/ifolder/ and share each file one by one... Really time consuming and annoying!
    Does someone have any suggestion?
    Thanks a lot for your help!
    Cheers

    Hi
    AFAIK if you create a common directory on the server, then use the web
    admin interface to create a shared resource, then add the users.

    First, thanks a lot for your quick help. I am actually deeply impressed by the speed!
    Now, I don't know whether it is because I could not explain well my problem, or just because I can not understand your answer, but don't see what you're exactly suggesting me to do....
    1) create a common directory: Do you mean I physically create a directory (mkdir /pathtodata/)? Or I create an new folder in ifolder using the web interface?
    2) What is as "shared ressource"? I cannot find any reference to this term in the user manual. Do you just mean I share the ifolder I created in the previous step?
    3) Add the users: I imagine this is the step where I share the ressource with the user.
    Again, I am really sorry if my hesitations are stupid and the answer is obvious, but I read all the documentation and I cannot figure out the answer.
    Thanks a lot for your help

  • Getting on a Microsoft Server and share files

    I wonder, am I really the first who experience difficulties to share files between Apple and a MS Server?
    Why can't I use a remote access tool, so I can use Outlook WITH the Special Maps I made in the Outlook version in the MS environment!?
    (I can work web based, but non ON the server in a same environment as in MS. And I need to do so!)
    I love my Apple, but getting frustrated about Apple's neglecting of practical tools between MS en Apple.
    Who can help me?

    *"am I really the first who experience difficulties to share files between Apple and a MS Server?"*
    No. Just search this forum. You'll find others.
    *"Why can't I use a remote access tool,"*
    Don't know. You didnt' tell us why you can't. Why can't you?
