How can I upload and access files to the iCloud?

Hello,
I am using iCloud on my MacBook Pro (OS X Lion) and iPhone 4 (iOS 5). Everything works just fine, but I'd like to put miscallenous files to the cloud as well, like .zip, .dat, .txt, .ini, .doc. On my MacBook I have put them all into the folder "Documents".
Question 1: Are my files, now that I put them to the Documents folder, in the Cloud already?
Question 2: How can I now access and view those files on my iPhone? (I used MobileMe before, and there I used a app called "iDisk",)
I'm really lokking forward to your replies.

Don't whine, there is a workaround, better than the idisk.
Download an app you wish to work as your iDisk. It is essential that this app supports iCloud. I personally prefer the GoodReader app.
Go to your /Users/<root folder name>/Library/Mobile Documents folder and locate the folder the app uses to store your files.
Create a folder in the "Documents" folder of the folder you found. I named that folder iCloud docs. You can name it whatever you want... e.g iDisk
(now let's add some style) download the icon I created.
Open the icon I created with preview and press cmd + a and then cmd + c .
Select the "iCloud docs" folder you created, or whatever you named it, press cmd + i
Select the folder icon on the top left and press cmd + v
Select again the folder and press cmd + L
Drag & drop the alias folder wherever you need it
or
   8. If you want to be supercool you can also drag & drop the original (not the alias) folder on your dock.
Hope you enjoy the new super cool iDisk.
Cheers.

  • How can I upload and download files with uiXML?

    I want to implement upload and download files with uiXML. In some previouse topic I got answare to look in AbstractPageBroker class in JavaDOC. I did it but this is a very-very little resolution description for this problem. I think for developers YOU (UIX Team) must in very quick time to put some examples on the NET because this is a nice technology but with adecvate samplase and developers guide it will be dead very soon. I digging this forum for information. I see many many people have same problems about this technology. They like it and want to use and try but documentation is very very poor.
    WE WANT EXAMPLES and separate forum for UIX. I think it deserve this.
    If You have any more detailed documentation would be nice to put on the net. I have uixdemo.zip file but this is in very early fase of development. I downloaded it before fwe months. And now I can't find it anymore on youre site. What happend?

    Attila -
    I went back and re-read the JavaDoc for AbstractPageBroker and MultipartFormItem and put together the following sample PageBroker based on the description from the JavaDoc:
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.FileOutputStream;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
    import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
    import oracle.cabo.servlet.BajaContext;
    import oracle.cabo.servlet.Page;
    import oracle.cabo.share.util.MultipartFormItem;
    import oracle.cabo.servlet.xml.UIXPageBroker;
    * An extension of UIXPageBroker which stores all uploaded
    * files in the temporary directory.
    public class UploadingPageBroker extends UIXPageBroker
    * Override of AbstractPageBroker.doUploadFile() which saves
    * all files to the temporary directory.
    protected String doUploadFile(
    BajaContext context,
    Page page,
    MultipartFormItem item) throws IOException
    // Get the location of the file to create in the temp directory.
    // Of course a real application probably wouldn't upload files to
    // the temp directory - just using this contrived example to
    // demonstrate basic uploading support.
    File file = _getFile(context, item);
    if (file != null)
    // Create a FileOutputStream. Of course, a real application would
    // probably want to buffer the output
    FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
    // Write out the file
    item.writeFile(out);
    // Close up the output stream
    out.close();
    // We can return a value here to add to the PageEvent
    // if so desired.
    return null;
    // Gets the File for the item that we are uploading
    private File _getFile(
    BajaContext context,
    MultipartFormItem item
    // Get the file name
    String name = item.getFilename();
    // If we don't have a file, bail...
    if (name == null)
    return null;
    // Get the path to the temporary directory
    File dir = _getTempDir();
    // Return the File object
    return new File(dir, name);
    // Returns the path to the temprary directory
    private File _getTempDir()
    // Get the temporary directory from the ServletContext
    ServletConfig sConfig = getServlet().getServletConfig();
    ServletContext sContext = sConfig.getServletContext();
    return (File)sContext.getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir");
    In this sample, each uploaded file is simply saved in the temporary directory. You'll want to replace the code that creates the FileOutputStream for the uploaded file to use whatever OutputStream makes sense for your application.
    BTW - I used the following UIX page to test this out:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <page xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/controller">
    <content>
    <pageLayout xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui">
    <contents>
    <form name="uploadForm" usesUpload="true">
    <contents>
    <fileUpload name="uploadedFile"/>
    <submitButton name="upload" text="Upload"/>
    </contents>
    </form>
    </contents>
    </pageLayout>
    </content>
    </page>
    Hope this sample helps with the uploading part of your question. I'll see if I can provide a download sample in a later post.

  • Does anyone know how to upload and download files to the icloud storage?

    Well, it says i have 5g of free storage... but what good is it?  There doesn't seem to be any way to put anything there.
    What am I missing here?

    iCloud does not have a general file syncing service, like Dropbox or Sugarsync.  Only certain types of files can be synced and only by applications/apps that specifically support these files and that support iCloud.  For example, Pages can sync to iCloud and only Pages apps on devices can access these files.  Within DocsToGo, nothing can be synced to iCloud.

  • How can I open and copy files on the win side from the  mac side?

    I am working on the mac side and I need to be able to copy files from the mac side that I create over to the win side.  I can open and view win files when I am booted to Snow Leopard, but I cant copy files to the win side.  I think Macdrive does the opposite.
    Any ideas?
    thanks,

    to write to Windows NTFS you need 3rd party.
    You have read only access to HFS from Windows.
    MacDrive8 works in Windows to add write to HFS as does Paragon. Paragon has what I have come to see as the best NTFS driver for OS X, and they have a separate HFS8 for Windows similar to MacDrive8.
    Maybe you want to run Windows as a client OS using Parallels instead?

  • How can I open and edit files that were developed and published by ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access.

    How can I open and edit files that were developed and published via ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access. The HD containing the files cannot be accessed. I want to be able to download the published files to be edited in iweb?

    You CAN'T download published files and then edit them in iWeb because iWeb can't open them - it has no import facility so is unable to open any html or css files - a previously published site.
    You can download these files yes, but you'll need to use them as a guide or to cut and paste text from there whilst you re-build your site in iWeb.
    The only other way is to download the files and then open them with an html editor such as TextWrangler or use one of the other web design programmes out there that is capable of importing html and css such as Dreamweaver of Flux 4.
    These are your only alternatives as iWeb can't import and if you want to continue to use iWeb, then you'll have to re-build your site from scratch.  If you do just remember to back up your domain.sites file this time around - it is found under your User/Library/Applicaion Support/iWeb/domain.sites.

  • How can i upload a image file to server by using jsp or servlet.

    Hi,
    I m gurumoorthy. how can i upload a image file to server by using jsp or servlet without using third party API. pls anyone send me atleast outline of the source code.
    Pls send me anyone.
    Regards,
    Gurumoorthy.

    I'm not an applet programmer so I can't give you much advice there.
    If you want to stream the file from the server before it's entirely uploaded, then I don't believe you can treat it like a normal file. If you're just wanting to throw it up there and then listen to it, then you can treat it like a normal file.
    But again, I'm not entirely certain. You might be able to stream the start of the file from the server while you're still uploading the end of it, but it probably depends on what method you're using to do the transfer.

  • How can I upload a (image) file through an applet ?

    How can I upload a (image) file through an applet ?

    have a look at http://www.haller-systemservice.net/jupload/
    i'm using Apache Jakarta HTTPClient to create a new HTTP connection to the webserver and sending a new POST request, which holds the image file. (So it's RFC1867 conform)
    there is also an open source implementation of such an applet on sourceforge. it's also called JUpload, but i think it's not maintained any more.

    De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Depends on why it's ineligible.  If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version.  (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".)  Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match.  Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
    If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

  • How can I identify and delete duplicates on the latest version of itunes?

    How can I identify and delete duplicates on the lastest version of iTunes?

    The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
    There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
    If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice to backup applies.

  • How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

    How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

    The problem is defining what it even means to “embed” a PDF file in the body of an e-mail, especially if you are dealing with a multiple page PDF file.
    E-mail is either pure text, rich text (something akin to RTF in Word), or HTML. PDF is not compatible with any of these. Thus, to embed a PDF file, something has to be converted and that means the PDF would be converted to a less graphically rich raster format. But is that what you would really want?
    I think that the MacOS and iOS e-mail clients do under some circumstances place an attached PDF file within HTML segments and by clicking on same, you get the equivalent of extracting the full PDF file, but I have no real experience with that.
    Another alternative is HTML with a proxy image with a hyperlink to an external PDF file that is invoked when you click on the hyperlink.
    Perhaps you can explain what you are really trying to accomplish and what the recipient of such an e-mail's actual experience would be?
