Access saved files in iCloud between different computers

A long time PC user, I am considering buying a new Mac Book Air and also a new iMac. I want to save all types of files, pictures and videos from either machine on iCloud and then access the same files seamlessly from either computer with security, speed and no hassle. Is this possible? What are the pitfalls? What has your experience been?

Thanks. In what way is Dropbox more disruptive than SugarSync?
I keep my files in folders that usually describe what's in them, I have no wish to create a specific folder to keep files that I want to sync to another machine, I prefer my document files to be in the documents folder, at each end.
Dropbox forces you to choose a new place for your files, SugarSync does not.
They both have PC, Mac, IOS, Android etc apps.

How do I share files on iCloud between different apps?

Hi,
how do I share files on iCloud between different apps?
I would like to edit simple plain text files on my Mac and my iPad using different apps. They don't see the content of each other. How do I fix this?
example:
when I create a .txt files:
Byword on Mac syncs nicely with Byword on iOS.
Ulysses 3 on Mac syncs nicely with Daedalus Touch.
BUT, cross-sync is not possible.... :/
How can I change this? - I would like to work with Byword on my Mac and Daedalus on the go.
Thanks in advance!

Cross-sync only works if an app on the iDevice allows it. For example, some apps (editors) sync with Dropbox (icloud usually isn't the thing to use) but only in their own folders.
If you save a file from the mac to it's own folder, A, on dropbox and on the device you use a different app that uses its own folder, B, then you won't be able to reach folder A on the device.
One thing to look for in editors that support Dropbox (most do, on a device - clearly all do on a mac) is whether they access dropbox using the root folder. From there you can drop down to any subfolder and reach the files you want.

I just received an OEM copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 with my Canon Pixma Pro 100 Printer. What exactly is OEM. Is it a full version? Can I transfer files between different computers?

@

OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer", or in your case, Canon (not Adobe) is providing the software. It is identical to what you can buy from Adobe. It is the full version (that's the only version of Lightroom that exists)
Transfer files between different computers ... this is not a function of Lightroom. Lightroom neither helps nor prevents you from transferring files from one computer to another.

How to access pdf files on icloud with iphone

Does anyone know how to access pdf files on icloud when saved to icloud on a mac?

At the moment, you can't. A favourite complaint. Hopefully, the situation will change in the near future, but only Apple knows when or if.

Can you sync an ibooks pdf library in icloud among different computers?

If you set up your email account(s) as IMAP instead of POP3, then each computer / smart phone can view the mail, but if any of them delete a message (or move it to another folder on the server), the same action will be seen on the other computers.

Codec missing and moving projects between different computers

Hi,
Im a real rookie when it comes to premiere... and i have 2 problems.
First off i just want to know the best way to move a project between two computers... Usually when i move the folder and try open it all the links to the different movie files dont work, so i have to go through and select each one manually. There must be a way to get around this...
Second off i have a problem with importing my mac mov (i used iMovie to move the files from the video camera, which is a Sony HDR-HC3) files into premiere on the pc, it claims the codecs are missing. I have installed quicktime on the pc and i can play the movies fine, but they wont import into premiere because of the missing codec. Why?

FAQ:How do I transfer a project from one computer to another?

Sync between different computers

Question:
I sync my devices (iphone, ipod, ipad2) on my MacPro at home, no problem. When traveling I may need to sync one on them with my laptop. Maybe a new app, new music, pdf files, etc.
What I'd like to know is the best to keep the two iTunes libraries in sync so I don't risk losing anything by syncing between two different computers.
Any help appreciated.
John

you can use home sharing to keep the two libraries in sync. however, the future probably looks like this.
by design, iPhone and iPad can sync with only one library at a time.
however, you could consider Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod.

How to access preview files on icloud

so we are deep into 2013 ans still can't access my PDF files on icloud huh!! Man I MIISS STEVE JOBS

New year, same question. Please Apple, get it sorted. It is embarassing.

Newb Question regarding Same InDesign CS4 file used on two different computers.

Probably been answered 1,000 times or is common knowledge, but I could not get it narrowed down using the search feature.
I would like to take an InDesign CS4 file ( a book) created on my imac, and work on it while away on a macbook pro with identical InDesign CS4 software. I will only be changing layout and some text, but will not be modifying anything that is a link other than re-sizing.
After doing this, will I be able to put the updated file into my imac and be ready to go, or am I playing with fire? If I might do more harm than good, I will not do it. It's just that I have a big project due and I have to be out of town for 3 days and would like to work on it if I can while I'm gone.
Thanks for any input,
Sebastian Gaeta

If you only copy the InDesign file then yes, preflight will alert you to the missing links. Just ignore it, or package the file and transfer the links, too.
Better yet, get yourself a membership to Dropbox. With Dropbox installed on both computers you can keep the entire job (up to 2 GB) in one folder and the files will sync to Dropbox’s servers, which will then sync to all computers sharing that folder. Open InDesign file on Mac 1, make changes, close file. Open file on Mac 2, make changes, close file. Open file on Mac 1 and the changes will be there. Best of all, you can go to Dropbox’s website and access a file’s history. This means you can go back to previous version of the file if you need to.
I add a folder to my Dropbox folder for any current job. When I’m done I move the files out and archive them.

If you sign up using the above link I get a tiny increase in my allotted storage.

Access pages files in icloud from macbook

How do I access icloud files from my macbook

To access pages files on your mac that were created on an iOS device, you need to navigate to icloud.com on your web browser, open the iWork section, locate the documents and download them to your computer.
If you then edit them on your computer and wish to put them back into iCloud, you must do this by dragging the documents back onto the iCloud pages section.
