Saving MSW or TextEdit docs to iCloud - where are they for retrieval?

It does not help being ignorant about iCloud, but I am.
I was saving a transcript in TextEdit when the iCloud prompt screen appeared indicating I could save it there. Because I have no idea where it can be retrieved, I saved it as normal, which is not a problem for me whatsover because I have a meticulously operated IMac with specific folders to save all my documents for various organizations including personal files Something I have done for over 10 years without any problems when it comes to retrieving files for later use. My IMac and MacBook are not lacking storage space. Have lots to spare.
Ancient users like me from the past century may not be catching onto iCloud like I should. I went to a Mountain Lion workshop but it was mostly an overview, no specifics. I found out that Apple has 3 new programs that simulate MSW Office documents. I have a sense that MSW Office files are not compatible with iCloud storage.
Okay! I need help to better understand saving files to iCloud and where on my system is iCloud to retrieve them? And, upon doing so, when I go to my MacBook, can I retrieve the same files on this device?
Dummy #1, for sure! Your patience and understanding will be most appreciated. Look forward to your assistance.

It will have been saved in your Home/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TestEdit/Documents folder.
But remember:
In Lion and Mountain Lion that Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

I can't find my pictures on icloud where are they?? i have photo stream on but I can't find icloud on my computer to make sure it is on! It isn't listed under the network and internet like the "help" option said!

Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

PDF Optimizer Settings: Where Are They Saved?

PDF Optimizer Settings: Where Are They Saved?
That is, the ones that you create and then Save.
Also the default one which came along Acrobat Pro (i.e. Standard etc)
Thanks

They are stored in the Acrobat User Preferences Area. The same location is used for Pro, Standard, and Reader. But the exact location is OS dependant.
Open up the JavaScript Console window and run this line of code. (instructions at the links below)
app.getPath("user","preferences");

I am using Garageband and saving my tunes as iTunes files but can´t find them in iTunes on my computer after syncing. Where are they?

My answer in the older thread is still valid
Maybe the "iTunes Music" folder is hidden.
Please open Terminal and issue the following command
ls -ladO /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music
you should get a line similar to this
drwxrwxrwx 13 yourusername staff hidden 442 12 Mar 21:49 /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
Numbers, date and time may differ.
If you see hidden then the folder is hidden. To unhide "iTunes Music", in Terminal issue the following command
chflags nohidden /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music

TS3276 iCloud wrote that my storage was full and that I couldn't save anymore mail. I checked and it is not true at all, but it had already DELETED all my sent messages without further notice. Where are they? Can I retrieve them?

iCloud does not delete your mail when full, you have some other problem.

I want to be able to access my photos that are stored on iCloud – I see mail and contacts but not my pictures? I have been backing up for a long time - Where are they?

You can't view them on iCloud.com. And photos (and other data) stored in your device backup can't be viewed, other than by restoring the backup to your device.
If you want to view your photos on the web, for the time being you will have to add them to a shared stream (album) with the Public Website option enabled. This will give you a private url to view them from a browser.

Apple - please announce some guidance as to when devices running Lion 10.7.2 will automatically update Pages (and other iWork) docs via iCloud so that they appear updated in iOS5 devices?

HT1391 I purchased 3 new tv episodes on iTunes and downloaded them on my iPad, from iCloud. They don't appear on my iPad Videos app and I've tried downloading them several times. Where are they?

The question is not only how to to hide them, but also how to mark them as watched!

HT4867 Now that I've switched to ICloud where are the mailboxes that were stored on my Mac?

Now that I've switched to ICloud where are the mailboxes that were stored on my Mac?

On your mac, mailboxes are listed under one of several categories. Some are "on my mac" and others are in "icloud". Those emails in mailboxes "on my mac" are strictly local, they do not connect with iCloud. As Julian points out, all mailboxes on your mac are still there. They will not be on your other devices.

Why aren't titles saved with the project? Where are they?

Why aren't titles saved with the project? Where are they? Can I get them to be saved with the project?

they aren't able to be exported as an entire bin folder ready for importing into another if needed.
Oh, but they are! You can select multiple titles, or even a bin containing multiple titles, and use the same File > Export > Title command. Premiere Pro will ask you where you want to save the first (and change the name, but it will default to the name given in the project), and then will automatically export all selected titles without further user intervention. You can import them en masse or in a folder (to create a bin automatically) into another project.

pamalushka54,
We want to make sure that we get your phone up and running. Can you look to see where you have the most stuff stored at. Settings>General>Usage>Storage.
This will tell you what exactly is using everything. Then you can delete things from there.

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

The application auto-saves your input when you close the document. If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible). Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
Would it be possible to send a video of the problem you are encountering to [email protected] so that we can try to help?

Region handles in piano roll-where are they?

Hey!
In Logic 9's piano roll, there were handles on either end of the regions so you could drag the region ends to make them longer or shorter.
I see no handles to do that in Logic Pro X. Where are they?
In Logic Pro X the only way I can see to lengthen or shorten a region is to do it in the Main Window. So, in piano roll I have to got to the Main Window to adjust a region. How clunky is that?!!
Is there a way to expand or contract regions in the piano roll? Anyone?
Thanks,
P.

I don't use iCloud and the last time I backed up was on September 29th to my computer, but I don't import photos or video when I backup, just music, apps, etc. And there's no other albums besides my camera roll, which only has the 29 pictures/videos.
