Can I move the location of my iCloud Drive and/or Photos Folder?

Hi, I currently own an iPad Air1 64GB with current IOS, as well as 2 Windows 7 64b PCs and one brand new Windows 8.1 Pro 64b PC. On my two desktops, is there any way to move the location of the iCloud Drive Folder from its default location at C:\Users\Brian A, which is on my System SSD, to my 6TB RAID5 Data Array. I'd rather not take up room on my SSD. If I cannot move it, this will lead me to using iCloud for little more than backup. and make it unlikely I'd ever pay for more space. I'd think at this point, more than a few people have SSD drives they might not want storage/data folders on.
I am clueless as to what Apple is attempting with iCloud Photos, as that only ever comes up as a link and under Devices and Drives, with no folder location, and no properties, seemingly making it immoveable. I'm not sure what the thought process was there, but this makes my want to use it even less than iCloud Drive.

Drag it there, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and point it to the new location.

Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder

Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder
I saw the option only one time, and i reseach in the internet and I find fuse option, but now never saw again.
And Yes, I drag folders with the same name.

Ok, Gracias por su pronta respuesta, yo necesito arrastar una carpeta a otra ubicacion con una carpeta del mismo nombre, entiendo que lion te advierte si desea reemplazar el contenido o fusionar (mexclar el contenido)
como lo dice aqui :

3. Podrás combinar tus archivos y carpetas. Seguro que alguna vez has perdido algún archivo al combinar carpetas o archivos del mismo nombre pero distinto contenido. Ahora, cuando intentes mover una carpeta a un lugar con otra de idéntico nombre, tu equipo te preguntará si prefieres combinar ambas o cambiar una por otra. Los archivos serán tratados de una manera similar: Cuando coincidan archivos con el mismo nombre, el sistema te preguntará también si quieres mantener ambas copias.
y en muchas otras paginas que tratan el tema.
mi problema es que esa opcion no me aparece. solo la opcion de reemplazar (o no reemplazar o detener)
Lo increible es que alguna vez el mismo dia de hoy si me aperecio la opcion.

Can I move the location of the Users Folder from my hard drive to an external hard drive?

Hi
I have a 2011 iMac with two internal drives - a 250gb flash drive that acts as my hard drive and holds all my apps and user data, and an additional internal drive that holds data such as my aperture library. I also have an external drive that holds files such as my raw and jpeg files, that would be referenced by the aperture library.
I'm now in a position where I'm running out of space on the flash drive (effectively my hard drive) and it's slowing the machine down. Over 125gb of the space used is in the users folders.
Is there any way I can move these to the external drive in the same way I can, for example, with a dropbox folder? Clearly, doing so would be a way to free up a huge amount of space on my hard drive, and preferable to looking at replacing the drive at this stage with a bigger one.
Grateful for any thoughts…..
Many thanks
Andy

Can I move the location of notification bubbles?

The bubbles pop up in the top right of the screen...I often need to click her to change tabs and find the pop-ups in my way. I like to have them, but don't want them there. Can I move them?

No. Growl offered different quadrants for the pop up, but not the built in Notifications.

Can I move the fcpx libraries to different drive?

Hi, I notice in my FCPX Trial that the Libraries default to my Movies folder. I only have 2 small projects I'm working on and they're already about 6Gbs. I'd like all that to be on a separate drive to keep fre space on the macbook pro. Just runs better if I do. Anyone know how to make the change? Thanks! Jon

In FCPX 10.1.1 Libraries are self contained. You can move them to another drive using finder. FCP will see them and under file>open library you can open them.

How do I move the location of library to external drive?

I started uploading pictures in Revel and didn't realize that it was taking up space on the limited hard drive in my Mac Pro. How can I move the back up, and all related files to an external hard drive and still keep everything on the cloud?

Hi Johnny,
Unfortunately, you can not move the location of the library on your Mac. What you may want to do is turn off "Keep All Originals" - then, upload your images then put those originals on the external HD. Then you'd have your original images backed up on the ext HD, also have them in the cloud, but off your desktop.

Can I move the iPhoto library to my iDisk

- Can I move the iPhoto library to my iDisk and by doing so being able to share it between several computers (only one editing at the same time is OK.
Sharing means adding, editing, deleting ... photos.
- if yes can I use it with the local copy mode of iDisk?

I doubt very much that you'd be able to access the library at any speed fast enough to make it viable solution. iDisk access is way too slow to make using a library on it possible.
And if you did, using the local iDisk copy and then have another computer access the actual iDisk version would only mess up the library when they were synced because you can't just file sync libraries. There are database files whose contents must be updated and there are not syncing applications that can do that. It would be the kiss of death for the library.
If you want to share a library between multiple computers on a LAN add an external FW hard drive to one of the Macs and locate the library there as Apple suggests: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users. Although written for uses on one computer it will work with multiple computers on a LAN that can log onto the host computer.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I cannot see the contents of my icloud drive on my ipad

I have uploaded a number of files to my icloud drive on my mac mini.
When i log into icloud.com i can see all the files in my icloud drive.
I have configured and set up icloud on my other devices, all are supporting the latest software.
However i cannot view any of the files on my icloud drive from my ipad.
i have approx 30 mobi files on the drive and i have kindle on my ipad, back up is complet, open kindle no files.
I can email them to myself from the icloud drive and open them in kindle and save to library but that defeats the whole point of having a cloud drive.
Need help.

Hi, I have this problem too. I've uploaded photos of my granddaughter to iCloud Drive on my 5 year old PC and can see the content on my PC at iCloud .com - though the system does not allow me to see minimised photos, just lots of numbered, blue rectangle icons. I spent over 2.5 hours with Apple Support yesterday and they could NOT resolve the issue in any straightforward manner, though did suggest I go through the same time consuming uploading process placing the same photos in the Beta version of 'Photos' available at iCloud.com. What a cumbersome system. Why hasn't Apple offered an iCloud Drive app (free of charge) so that once content has been placed in iCloud Drive it can Bev retrieved on any iOS device, as Apple suggest. Here is what they say at Apple.com (see also the illustrations they offer for iCloud Drive on an iPad - I was informed yesterday, by two advisors, that they couldn't find way to locate the suggested pages either?)
Storing ﬁles in iCloud is simple. Just as it should be.
To upload your files to iCloud, simply drag them into the iCloud Drive on your Mac running OS X Yosemite or PC running Windows 7 or later. Or start a new document using an iCloud-enabled app on your iOS device. Then you’ll be able to access those documents from all your devices.

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

I have 528 contacts on my phone, but only 290 on my Icloud how can i move the rest over from my phone to my Icloud nothing is working

Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup to your phone. Use this app to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email on your phone.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), set this to iCloud. (This will cause new contacts added to your phone to be added to the iCloud account.)
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing (otherwise you will end up with duplicates on your phone).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from your exchange account back to your phone. They will be added to iCloud and appear on icloud.com and any other devices syncing contacts with your account.

I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance

I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance
its 1000s of songs . Originally I used the time machine as a networked drive but it can cause the songs to pause so I'm thinking it would be better to have the songs on the internal imac drive
how can I move the songs so I can re-open iTunes and the playlists (with plays in the 100s) find the song in the new place?

Do you mean on your Time Machine backup drive? Or are you actually accessing the backup? In either case you shouldn't be doing that. If you haven't space on your HDD to store the iTunes Library, then at least put it on another external drive.
Since you did not provide any information about what's actually "on my time machine," here's what you would do. The entire iTunes folder should be stored in the /Home/Music/ folder. Within that folder you would have three folders: imm Media, iTunes, and iTunes Playlists.

Can I change the location of my local iCloud director on my Mac?

Pretty sure they will send it back to the address where it was sent from. I could be wrong.

What did you use to download it with? iPad? iPhone? Computer?
If it's an iPad/iPhone, play it using the videos app.
If on the computer, look on the left side of iTunes in the library under movies.
