How can I re-add the iCloud Drive folder to my favorites?

Hey guys,
I accidentally dragged off my iCloud Drive folder icon in the Favorites column and now it's gone. Any ideas how I can get it back?? I tried just about everything I know.
Thanks! Yosemite rocks!
Eric

Hi,
Go to Finder > Then click Finder on the top left corner next to the Apple Logo > Preferences > Sidebar > Tick the iCloud Drive. And the folder will be there.
Hope that helps
Cheers,

  • How can I share photos on iCloud Drive?

    I have a lot of photos shot with my DSLR camera.
    How can I put all my photos in the iCloud Drive and view the photos from all my devices? And how can my wife view all these photos from her devices - that is .. how can she see all my iCloud Drive photos on her devices?
    Thanks!
    Mojo

    I'm not sure understand you at this point.....
    Have you set up a "shared photo stream" to share your photos with your wife? [System Preferences -> iCloud .. then check the box next to  "Photos" and click on "Options" to the immediate right.... in the Options drop down make sure "iCloud Photo Sharing" is checked...
    Then open iPhoto - select in the sidebar the album you want to share (if you only want to share individual photos select these in the main window)
    Then click on the "Share" icon on the lower right of the iPhoto window - a little menu with icons will popup. Click on the iCloud icon in that menu... the next menu that pops up should be titled "Share"
    Click on the first item (New Photo Stream --the one with the "+" sign) and create a "shared album" - a drop down window will appear at the top of iPhoto... just fill out the form (whom you want to share it with, the name of the shared album, etc. - if you want your wife to be able to add photos to the shared album, check off the box that says "Subscribers can post"
    Your wife will have to agree to "subscribe" to this shared item (she will get "invite on her device - ) - once it is set up to see the shared photos in iPhoto click on "iCloud" in the sidebar under "Shared" and it will show you any shared albums in addition to your own Photo Stream...  on devices, to see the shared album, open the Photos app... at the bottom one of your choices will be "shared" (a cloud icon) - touch that icon and you will get a list of all your shared iCloud albums as well as "activity"...
    No need to "export" anything manual, etc.

  • How can my daughter use the hard drive in the Time Capsule ...

    So, I am in Oklahoma and my daughter is in Tennessee...
    She has a Time Capsule where the Wi-fi base station quit working, but the hard drive may be OK.
    She bought an Airport Express to use as a wi-fi router.
    The question, then, is:
    How can my daughter use the hard drive in the Time Capsule to do Time Machine backups?
    Thank you very much for your insights.
    Roberto

    It can be done but is very messy. That is assuming the TC is still functional which I kind of doubt.. the wifi is seldom the only thing that will die .. so whatever problems it has the wifi would be the least of it.
    Anyway.. do a factory reset to get started.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    If the LED is not lit then the TC is dead, not just the wireless.
    The setup for using the TC is explained in the bottom of this thread.
    TC in a second local network.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
    The idea is to set the TC to provide router function.. and the computer plugged in by ethernet to as a second network.. but there are rules on how this is done which I have explained in that thread.
    I notice that Mountain Lion deals better with order of network priority than Snow Leopard used to .. so it might not need to have manually set gateway and dns.. although I would still recommend it. It simply stops the second network causing issues.
    It is much easier to simply purchase an external drive and plug that in.
    It is cheaper, faster and more reliable than using the TC for TM anyway.
    Plus a lot of the later machines no longer have ethernet ports.. and using dongles is far from neat.. although thunderbolt to ethernet is IMHO necessary accessory for anyone without ethernet.

  • HT5527 I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

    I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

    If you migrated your MobileMe account before 1 August you should have signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it, and you would be able to see your calendars, bookmarks and emails on the iCloud website. Is this the case? Did you sign into iCloud with your @me.com address?
    If you did not migrate your MobileMe account you can no longer do so.
    If you did migrate, did you do so from a full MobileMe account or from a Family Pack sub-account? the latter did not get the complimentary storage (because their iDisks were only 5GB anyway).
    If you had a full MobileMe account, check on your Mac - System Preferences>iCloud - and see whether that shows the upgrade. If it doesn't, you probably need to contact Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you may be asked to pay a fee: in this case you should ask them to deal with it without cost (and hope they agree).
    Note that you haven't paid anything for your MobileMe storage since your first renewal date after 6 June 2011, and iCloud costs nothing unless you specifically choose to upgrade the storage. Note also the iCloud storage is not general file storage in the manner of the iDisk but is restricted to iOS device Backup, Mail, Photo Journal and Documents.

  • How can I completely wipe the hard drive with out the Mac OS X disc? I don't need any of the info on the computer.

    How can I completely wipe the hard drive with out the Mac OS X disc? I don't need any of the info on the computer.

    You can't unless you have a bootable system on an external drive you can use. Otherwise, you need either the original disc that came with your computer or a retail copy of Snow Leopard DVD. The latter contains 10.6.3, so your model must be capable of booting from that or an earlier version of OS X.
    You can purchase replacement discs from Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.

  • HT4436 I have a laptop Mac and an IPad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the IPad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

    I have a laptop Mac and an Ipad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the Ipad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
    However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box.

  • The iCloud Drive folder in Library/Mobile Documents is taking up way too much space on my startup disk.

    The iCloud Drive folder in Library/Mobile Documents is taking up way too much space on my startup disk
    I was hoping my files would stay in the cloud and not take up a ton of space on my machine (only a 128gb SSD).  But while performing an overnight time machine backup I came back to find a "Startup Disk Full" error message.  I only have about 20gb used locally but over 200gb in iCloud Drive at the moment.
    Is there a way to clear the cache so my files stay on iCloud and not hogging space on my SSD? Or a way to redirect this library to my 2nd hard drive?
    I'm using a 15" mid-2012 Macbook Pro with a 1TB hard drive and I've replaced the optical drive with a 128gb SSD for my OS (which is where my library is, hence the difficulty).
    Thank you!

    While puttering around after posting this I think I found my personal solution here: http://macs.about.com/od/diyguidesprojects/qt/Move-Your-Home-Folder-To-A-New-Loc ation.htm
    I'm just going to move my home folder to my 2nd internal 1TB hard drive to solve my problem.
    But my question remains, how can we minimize the amount of local space iCloud Drive ***** up?  I wanted to get the rumored new macbook air that might come out next year but this is a big turn off if iCloud drive is going to overwhelm the SSD in the AIr.

  • Is it possible to see the iCloud Drive folder from my iPhone?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to see the iCloud drive folder on iOS 8 just as it is in iCloud and my Mac?
    Lets say something like the following:
    ios-8-icloud-drive.png

    Well you can consider this as well:
    Considering or moving right now to iCloud Drive? Please check the following facts to avoid my terrible experience:
    First of all it is not as easy as Apple Says: "Store your files in iCloud and access all them anytime on all your devices" - Lies.
    1) There is no standalone app for iCloud drive on iOS so you will not be able to access all your files from your iDevices only the ones you created with iWork.
    2) Even if you upgrade your space to 1 or 2 TB you will have storage limitation because you can upload what you Mac can storage, in a few words it is a mirror not an online hards disk.
    3) NO photos nor  videos in  iCloud, it doesn't matter how space you get you will not have access to them on the web, and not date has been confirmed for this promised feature.
    4) You will get many dumb folders in the iCloud drive even dumb iWork copies of your documents.
    5) Many unexpected errors will be waiting for your data, like the one I got when all my local copies of all my files ( any type) just disappeared and got a simple icon with the message Not Downloaded like if there were not before in the Mac. Apple open a ticket for this issue after many hours int he phone.
    6) Apple support is not well trained to handle issues related to the new services like this, you can call and ask simple questions and will be on hold a lot of time to while they figure out what to tell you. Try it.
    7) At the end you will cancel the service and go back to your previos cloud service ( just like me with Dropbox) and uploading all your files to it.
    8) If need more reasons just let me know and I will give you more to convince you that iCloud Drive will "drive you mad".

  • How can i turn off the iCloud account.

    How can I turn off my ICloud account?

    Go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted.
    If you want to keep photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account.  If you want to save synced notes, open them and email them to yourself.  You will be given an option to either keep or delete the rest of your iCloud data from your device when you delete the account.

  • Is the iPhoto library supposed to be located in the iCloud Drive folder?

    27" iMac (2011) Yosemite / iCloud Drive
    Is the iphoto library / database file supposed to be in the iCloud Drive?  I expect it to normally be found in the Pictures folder under the active user.  If it is not supposed to be there how did it get moved there.  The iPhoto library is also locked and is over 200 Gigabytes in size.  (see attached image)
    My theory is that someone tried to move it to the iCloud Drive, without understanding the limitation.

    As long as the user has purchased adequate disk space for the iCloud Drive, they can move their photo library to it. It can be anywhere so long as one modifies iPhoto so it knows where to find it.

  • How can I come out of icloud drive and revert to icloud.co?

    How can I revert to previous configuration after mistakenly signing up to icloud drive? I have Mountain Lion and do not wish to sign up to Yosemite.

    You cannot revert to "Documents in the Cloud", you can just stop using iCloud Drive, once your iCloud account has been upgraded to iCloud Drive. There is no way back.
    From:   iCloud Drive FAQ - Apple Support
    After I upgrade to iCloud Drive, can I downgrade and go back to using Documents in the Cloud?
    No, after you upgrade to iCloud Drive, you can't go back to using Documents in the Cloud. You can turn off iCloud Drive in iOS 8 by going to Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive. You can turn off iCloud Drive on your Mac by going to Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud and deselecting iCloud Drive. If you turn off iCloud Drive, your documents and data will no longer be kept up to date across all of your devices.

  • How can I turn off the iCloud password prompt?

    Running OS X 10.10.1, on each login I'm prompted twice for an iCloud password. How can I turn this off?
    iCloud is not listed at system preferences / users and groups / login items, which is where I expect to see apps selected as startup apps. See the following screen cap - this is the dialog I'm seeing, which I want to turn off:

    If you are using iCloud at all, stay signed in at System Preferences > iCloud.  If you do not stay signed in, all iCloud series will keep prompting you for the password.
