Confused how iCloud works with Preview?

What is the point of saving PDFs in the iCloud with Preview if I cannot access those documents via my iOS devices or iCloud.com? Or can I?

To help others out there.. I too have not been able to figure out how to share iCloud Preview files across  OSX and iOS devices. Based on this post and other research I do not think it is currently possible (even with paid icloud subscriptions).
But what you can  do..with iCloud Preview  is  share files,  across Mac's (OSX muntain lion or newer, laptops and desktops)  and signed into icloud account on both Macs . Can even create sub folders for files and  not limited to PDF files can also share JPG, DOC , XLS and other files .. ( This can be  helpful since  iMac's (pre 2009 tcan not use air drop)
Perhaps apple will put a preview App out at some point to enable more seemless sharing across devices similar to DropBox which can also appear as a folder icon on the sidebar in Finder window.
(FYI - I have up to date OSX (10.8.5 mountain lion ) and iOS7 (iPhone5) as well as paid icloud and itunes match subscriptions and even icloud beta pages/numbers/keynote. )

  • How to work with Preview in Lion (autosave, etc)

    Just installed Lion and am tweaking and adjusting. 
    Run headlong into Autosave/Versioning with Preview.  Was very used to using preview to quickly look at and play with adjustments to images (but used Photoshop for heavy lifting).  Most of the time, I discarded any adjustments that I made in Preview (i.e. I didn't save them).
    Was surprised that Lion autosaves anything that I do to an image in Preview.  So, how does one work in this environment.  Avoid Preview?  Always do the extra step of reverting to an older image before closing Preview (is it obvious which version to revert to?)?  Something else?  I don't see a way to turn autosave off.  On first blush, this seems like a Misfeature.  Not just for Preview, but for many things.  Is no longer safe to just play because all changes are being saved.
    I hope that I'm missing something that can bring back a more explicit workflow.
    I also noticed that Preview is really sucking up memory.  I opened a couple of images (small ones, < 1MB).  After playing for a while, the Preview app used almost all of the available 10GB of memory on my system (the system became really sluggish).  Is this a side effect of versioning?  I quit and restarted Preview and it freed up memory.

    Wondering how general the above advice is.  Only for preview, or all programs?  Time will tell on how well this feature works; certainly different as compared to other OS's that I might use during the day.
    In this case, I only opned a couple of small photos and made a handful of changes.  So, I don't know where all the memory went.  I'll be watchful.
    I've now unchecked "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".  But, note that this doesn't affect audosaving. 
    Feels like initial startup of apps (incl. preview) is a bit sluggish under Lion.  Perhaps due to checking saved state (a guess). 
    Apple isn't shy about changing things!

  • Please Explain How iCloud Works With Photos.

    I understand that when you take a photo on an iOS device it is stored in iCloud.
    How exactly does that happen?  Does the photo go to iPhoto then to iCloud?  Where would I find it in iCloud?
    Has my iPhoto library gone to iCloud?  If so, where will I find it other than on my iMac?
    This is part of iCloud which I do not understand!

    Hi Julian,
    When you take a photo from an iOS device (with iCloud configured), it will automatically sync/"push" that photo into iCloud when that iOS device is connected to WiFi. It cannot sync over a 3G data connection so far as I know. iCloud will store a 30 day running history of photos, or 1,000 photos from iOS devices (whichever comes first).
    In order to access these photos on your Mac, you need to open iPhoto and click on "Photo Stream." From iPhoto, you will need to sign into your iCloud account (Apple ID and password). Once complete, whenever your Mac is connected to WiFi, iPhoto will automatically download all of your photos from iCloud and store them locally in a photo album for editing, etc.

    "iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."

  • I have a Powerbook G4 (don't laugh) with iPhoto '08. How does iCloud work with my computer. I have a iPhone 4 that has iCloud.

    I have a Powerbook G4 (don't laugh) with iPhoto '08. How does iCloud work with my computer. I have a iPhone 4 that has iCloud. Is iCloud pushing my phone's PhotoStream to my computer if it doesn't have the latest OS? Thanks so much for whoever can help!

    iCloud will not work with your computer because iCloud requires Lion. Lion requires an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better. For you to have iCloud and PhotoStream you would need to buy a newer Mac Intel model meeting the requirements for Lion:
    Lion System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • How icloud works ?

    I have 2 questions as i don't quite understand how icloud works. (1) Is there a way of seeing what is backed up on i-cloud or do you just assume it is working?  If i lost my phone, could someone delete my icloud account and lose all of my data ?

    If turned on, iCloud will keep your contacts, calendars, notes, etc, on a server (similar to MS Exchange) allowing you to keep the content in sync with other devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or even PC).  Those are not part of the iCloud "backup".
    From HT4859:
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    You can select which applications back up their data and see how much storage space each application is using:
    On your Home Screen, tap Settings
    Tap iCloud
    Tap Storage & Backup
    Tap Manage Storage
    Select the device you want to manage

  • Will icloud work with Leopard 10.5?

    Will iCloud work with Leopard 10.5 running on a mini?

    Hi there, depends what you want. Lon/10.7.x is neeeded for full support on the Mac.
    You can view everything in any Broweser, but you can't Sync anything other than setting up an iCloud IMAP account...
    iCloud Mail setup...
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
              ▪          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
              ▪          SSL Required: Yes
              ▪          Port: 993
              ▪          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              ▪          Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
              ▪          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
              ▪          SSL Required: Yes
              ▪          Port: 587
              ▪          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
              ▪          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              ▪          Password: Your iCloud password
    From here on out, unless you're dependent on the latest iDevices I'd look elsewhere for solutions, understandably Apple is looking out for Apple, but what I don't understand is how long they can ignore user's needs.

  • How to work with 360 video?

    I am new to AE and am trying to work with a 360 equirectangular video I shot with a Freedom 360 and 6 go pros.
    Are there any tutorials on how to work with 360 spherical videos? Do I need to download additional plugins?
    Thank you,
    Phil

    Phil,
    Of course, the image needs to be big for this, but the plugin you would use is CC Sphere.
    Drop your movie into a composition and apply CC Sphere to the video.
    Then set the Render option in the effect to "Inside".
    Under Shading set Ambient to 100% and Diffuse to 0%.
    Then scale inside the effect until the image fills the screen.
    Then you'll be able to use the Rotate Y controls in CC Sphere to spin around inside your video!
    You can also add Optics Compensation and Reverse the Lens Distortion to straighten out your image.
    Let me know if you have any questions!
    Trent

    1. Select the filter Worklist and enter your name in the input field of the object list selection. Press the enter key. Your object list is displayed.
    2. Place your cursor on the highest node(PROJECT BY XXXXXX). Select Create project from the context menu by right-clicking on it. You see the dialog box Create project.
    3. Enter a project name, description, packages, and namespaces for each system used. Leave the dialog box by pressing the enter key.
    Specify transport requests. The Project is created and appears in the object list.

    Hi,
    Follow the Steps,
    1. Go to CMOD transaction
    2. From the menu "GOTO->TEXT ENHANCEMENTS->DATA ELEMENTS-   ->NEW DE CUST DOCU".
    3. In the displayed box specify the data element and
       press either "CHANGE" or " Ref to screen" button
    4. CHANGE button is for defining the documentation
    5. "Ref. to screen" if for assigning the screen in which
       a field has the this type data element.
       Note: You should have used this data element for a   
             field in that screen.
    6. Now it will ask for Function Module name, specify the
       FM name and double click it. It will go to the editor.
    7. Now using the Import parameters code accordingly
    8. Activate and go back
    9. Now "Assign the created program ( that is FM) to the
       screen by specifying the Program name and Screen
       number.
    10. Now save and activate.
    Note: No need to create a separate project for creating field exit through transaction CMOD.
    I hope this is suffice.

  • How to Work with Composite Primary Key

    Hi All,
    I'm working with Toplink JPA. Here I have A problem with inserting into database table which have composite Primary Key.
    What I'm doing is, I have two tables. to maintain many to many relation between these two tables I created another intermediate table which consists of foreign Keys (reference) of above two tables.
    Now these two foreign Keys in the Intermediate table made as composite Primary Keys.
    When I'm trying to the data in the Intermediate table I'm getting the foreign Keys values are null..
    could anyone suggest me how to work with composite Primary Keys

Any help would be very appreciated!
