Access iCloud Drive files without internet connection? Backups?

So, if I want to put files in iCloud Drive, the process is simple, but the process MOVES the files out of my Documents folder to a hidden location in my local device's file system? (~/Library/Mobile Documents). I really can't access MY documents shared with iCloud any more unless I'm online? Plus, even if I can figure out how to see my documents in the Mobile Documents folder, they're now arranged by application, and not by the folder system I've set up over 20 years of use? Can I backup my files hosted on iCloud? Is iCloud Drive a serious cloud document host solution or just a trap for noobs?
MacBook Pro Retina Display; Yosemite (10.10)

Set the Finder Sidebar preferences so that the iCloud drive is included in the Favorites section of the Finder sidebar:

Can I access icloud drive documents without an internet connection

The answer seems obvious, unless copies are also stored on my Macbook for situations where Internet is not available.

Can timecapsule be access as a HDD without internet connection?

I am currently stationed overseas with the military right now and i just got a 3TB Time Capsule set out to me. I've never owned a timecapsule before so i didnt know how to install or connect it. i do not have my own ISP out here nor do I have a modem to connect the time capsule to. at the present moment it is nothing more than and expensive paper weight. is there anyway I can connect the timecapsule to my laptop and use it as an external HDD to back up my movie files and pictures? My MacbookPro is running Leopard 10.X, cant remember which version exactly off the top of my head.

Not surprising that personal devices can't be hung off the military LAN, but that's fine. As we said, you do not need the Internet for your purposes here. If you have Time Machine working, that confirms that you are already using one of the right ports. I do not know of a way to use a Time Machine as a hard drive using anything other than Ethernet, and even then you have to use TCP/IP networking. But, that should work fine for your purposes. In other words, go into Airport Utility, Manual Setup, click Disks, click File Sharing, and Enable File Sharing.
After that, the TC should show up under Shared in the sidebar and you can mount it as a network hard drive, and copy any files to and from it. It won't work exactly like an external hard drive in that I don't think it can automount just by plugging it in, but once you connect to it, it will work a lot like an external hard drive. If you want to be secure about it, turn on Secure Shared Disks and shut off the Airport radio on the Time Capsule.
You will find that the operation of Time Capsule is separate from its operation as a network hard drive. They don't overlap. You can be using files off the TC server while Time Capsule is running a backup, and Time Capsule can mount its backup volume on its own.

If I download Mountain Lion on my MBP , can I use the same installer file on a different computer and continue the installation without Internet connectivity?

Hi Folks,
I have just downloaded Mountain lion on my Macbook Pro(haven't installed it yet) . My question is, can I copy the same downloaded Mountain Lion from the Applications on to an external hard drive and use the same on a different computer? I am having problems with internet connectivity right now, it would be amazing if it can be installed on the iMac without internet connection.
So is that doable?
Thanks in advance

And the 2nd installation would not require internet connectivity? Except , of course during the set up and the configuration of iCloud and location based services, which I can skip at the time

Accessing Music without internet connection?

Will I be able to access my music without internet connection if all my music on my iPhone is coming from iCloud?

Do you know how to do that?
Also, I just purchased the additional 10GB (so now I have 15GB) for the iClound on my Phone. What exactly is that doing for me? I understand it must be usefull because I no longer am getting the pop up message telling me I am running out of space.
Thank you!

ICloud full, cannot access iCloud drive and cannot deleter files...

I am getting messages saying that my iCloud is full. Okay, I get it. So I look up how to free up space and find all the instructions on how to not have apps sync (which I've done) and to delete photos (which I've done), yet it's still full. I'm sure there are plenty of audio files on there that could be taken off as I do have iTunes Match however, I cannot for the life of me figure out HOW to delete any files off iCloud. I have tried accessing iCloud Drive on various computers and I get error messages and pop screens telling me to reload - shocker. So, how in the **** am I supposed to figure out what is taking up all this space on my iCloud and then, how do I delete it? I don't really "save" anything so I'm not sure what to do. Anyone else having the same issue and if so, any solutions? I do not want to buy more space but I want to be able to back up my phone. Technology is great when works, but this isn't working and it's frustrating. Thanks for anyone that has any helpful advice.

Captivate 8 video feature without internet connection

Hello everyone,
I have a few questions in regards to the video hosting features. My team and I are currently looking to purchase a software to help us get started with our new product which will focus on delivering e-learning content to mobile devices in remote areas.
We are currently faced with the problem of how to package our video content in our applications. Please correct me if I am wrong but from our understandings Captivate 8, works by streaming and progressively downloading video context while the app is in use. This is a problem for us because most of our clients will not have access to internet.
Am I missing some important information as to how this work, is there some way to upload the application with the videos already package as part of the application file? Therefore making the use of the internet will be obsolete
Thanks in advance for you help.

So the entire project can be download to a mobile device and used without internet connections?
Is there anyway to also capture responses from users even without an internet connection? That could be push back to servers when clients are able to get access to the internet.
Sorry, for all the questions. We are just trying to make sure we have the right software for our project.

Can Tour de Flex run without internet connection

Hi
I have installed TourDeFlex.air, but unfortunately it requires internet connection to browse the components.
Do you know if it is possible to run Tour de Flex without internet connection?

From an earlier post by Nicolas Mertens:
"here's what I got from Customer Services about this problem:
[Help] files are located in the following location:
C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_us/InDesign/6.0. Also
from that location, you can launch the file 'index.html' and this
should direct you to *the online help that you would access through
the program itself.*"
I found that the files are not at that location, but at C:/Program
Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_GB/InDesign/6.0 (this is in Windows
Vista, by the way). "
Yours would presumably be at [the German equivalent of
..]/de-DE/InDesign6.0, or whatever your locale is (AT, CH...)

Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

Hi Bob,
I'm not certain the post I sent was posted correctly, as I added it as a reply to a 3-year old thread. Since this is a recently-active thread, though not specific to the issue at hand, I thought I'd post again:
Three years ago you helped me set up a roaming wireless network in my home. It's been rock-steady and I'm forever grateful to you for the time and guidance you gave me. I'd now like to swap out my AirPort Extreme base station for a time capsule. As I understand it, I should be able to unplug the base station and replace it with the TC without problem, so long as I use all the same settings on my TC... network name, security protocol, password, etc. Given the complexity of my network, I thought I should check with you first for any advice you might have. I don't want to set up a new network or make any changes to the existing one-- with the exception of using the TC in place of the AE. I'm already using Time Machine for backups. As a refresher, my current setup has the AE as base station and 3 expresses hard-wired with Ethernet connections elsewhere in my home. I have a 4th express set up wirelessly to use with my stereo system at the front of the house. All AXs are 'n's and are set up, as per your instructions, in Bridge mode to extend the existing network. I'm running the most updated version of Mavericks on my MBPro. Any suggestions you might have will be, as always, very much appreciated! Sincerely, Phyllis Sommers

.icloud-drive file in root of iCloud drive folder

I have noticed a rather strange file in the root of my iCloud drive folder on iCloud.com
it is called .icloud-drive with the file extension of do-not-delete. ".icloud.drive.do-not-delete"
Does anyone else have this???

Hello rhearob,
Apple did not mention or publish anything so far which indicates that it is possible to share iCloud Drive folders or to access iCloud Drive from multiple Apple IDs. As KiltedTim wrote, it could be that Apple is going to add additional functionalities to iCloud Drive once Yosemite is released, but as of today, nothing has been announced.
Best regards,
David

Create local wifi network on OS X without internet connection

Hi,
is there anyway to create a local wifi network without internet connection to play multiplayer games like call of duty on macbook pro ?

Is it safe to assume that you are connecting your MBP to a wireless router already?
If you are then all the other LAN machines should also connect to that same router even if internet access is turned off.
LAN parties are fun and they require the computers to have certain port setups for certain games.
It is possible, though I don't play COD (I'm a Battlefield man) and I can't help with the details of COD.
When my son has his friends over we use a wired hub setup and we make the laptop guys use the wired connection - it's more stable. I admit that we always use the internet. The last LAN party we had without the internet was a Battlefield 1942 setup with one computer hosting the local server (and that was years ago.)

Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection?

I am using an ipad mini 2, second generation. I plugged it in to itunes and there was an update avaible for ios 8. Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection? Thank you

iTunes needs an internet connection to download the update if it has not already. Then it needs to verify the update with Apple servers prior to installation.
So in short, no, you do need at least some form of internet access to update.

EHP installation without internet connection

Hello, we are going to install EHP4 on our SAP ERP system.
But all our SAP systems (including SAP Solution Manager especially) are in closed network area and have not internet connection. As a result we cannot use SAP Maintain Optimizer to calculate and prepare installation sofware stack for SAPEHPI procedure.
Can we prepare this installation software stack file manually?
Can we install EHP4 without internet connection at all?

Hi, thank you for answer, Sunny.
But it's not very good news
May be I can use xml-stack file from other sap erp system which has the same version and patch level?
Theoretically I can just do some correcting (i.e. change system attributes) in this file and then put it for SAPEHPI tool. Is it possible?
