How do i decide what files iCloud does and does not upload/store?

Hello,
I am in the process of uploading my music to the iCloud.
This includes music from the iMatch facility that I am subscribed to as well as other music that I need to upload because it’s not available in the ITunes store.
I have a question?
How do I control what files/playlists etc are uploaded to the cloud??
As at present I only have 50GB of storage, how to I best manage this to see what I have and check I upload all that I want?
In the same way as doing a standard sync with your iPod/iphone to your PC, you can control what playlists and tracks that you add and which you don’t?
How in essence do I do this with ICLOUD and prioritize what it holds??
Appreciate your feedback folks
Simon.

Hi Kirk,
Thank you for your response.
I was under the impression that the limit was 50GB max or 25,000 files whichever came first?
I have a total of 80gb :-)
Anyway, if the limit is 50GB and say for somereason i only wanted to upload 3/4 of my files to the cloud, how do i detrmine which ones are uploaded and stored via match or non match upload and which remain outisde the cloud?
Can this be done?
Regards
Simon.

How can I pass a file refnum into and out of external c++ code? What type does it convert to in c++?

I am trying to write external c++ code that will read a file already opened by Labview and therefore assigned a refnum. (Unfortunately, I definately can't use the standard Labview vis.) However I am not sure what c++ type to use in order to manage the refnum.
All help and thoughts appreciated. Thanks,
Joanna

You could do ALL your file handling in C or C++ (MFC CFile for
example) and pass Microsoft file handles into and out of LabVIEW
instead of LabVIEW file references into and out of C. This may be an
easier way to attack the problem.
You could create a DLL in MSVC that exports a FileOpen function, a
FileClose function and a FileRead and/or FileWrite Function and then
call that DLL from place to place as required in your code.
It would help us if you would explain what kind of data you are trying
to read or write and what the application is. Is it binary data?
text files? Do you need some special Win32 file system feature like
file mapped memory? I guess what I am asking is what is your
motivation for doing file handling in C or C++?

How do I know what files to remove from my Macbook Pro laptop?

Apparently my hard drive is full and I need to remove files so I have space to download more music and movies. I don't want to delete important files. How do I go about doing this?

How do I know what files to remove from my Macbook Pro laptop?
Remove only files you yourself stored on the laptop; files in your Home folder. Don't delete any files from the system libraries, and if you want to remove applications, use the provided uninstallers.
For files in the media libraries - iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie use the application to delete music, photos, movies.
If you are planning on storing more movies and music on your mac, deleting old files will probably not suffice alone to free enough space. Consider to get yourself an external drive to store your media.

How can I see what file's are in a directory

I'm want to make a program for brosing the harddisk and copying and editing file's.
I already can copy them but:
How can I see what file's are in a directory and how can I see
what subdirectory's are in a directory so I can show them to the user?
I dont't know if it does matter if If I'm on a windows or linux platform, when it does please tell me for the windows?

I believe this works for a directory of reasonable size.
import java.io.File;
final public class FileSearch {
    public File current;
    public String path;
    public File[] files;
    public FileSearch(File dir){
       try {
          current = dir;
          files = dir.listFiles();
       } catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
    public void currentSearch() {
       for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++) {
          if (files.isFile()) {
System.out.println(files[i].toString());
public void searchFiles(){
for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++) {
if (files[i].isDirectory()) {
System.out.println();
System.out.print("directory: ");
System.out.println(files[i].toString());
try {
FileSearch sub = new FileSearch(files[i]);
sub.currentSearch();
sub.searchFiles();
sub= null;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
FileSearch search = new FileSearch(new File("."));
search.currentSearch();
search.searchFiles();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();

I am using itunes 10 and trying to consolidate my files. I keep getting the error "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long". How can I indentify what file is causing this problem or resolve this issue?

I am using itunes 10 and trying to consolidate my files. I keep getting the error "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long". How can I indentify what file is causing this problem or resolve this issue?

BUMP
Yes, I just get that message. I don't see how I could investigate this problem.
I didn't mention that this happened when I was consolidating my library, not copying files to another computer.
In other words, I'm using a "normal" itunes procedure, itunes won't complete it, and won't tell me exactly why or how to figure out how to fix it...
Is there at least some easy way to tell which files were successfully copied to my itunes music folder so I can work on moving the uncopied files?
Can anybody help me?

A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

How to Merge 1 PDF file to 50 PDF together not one by one. Using Acrobat 9 Windows xp.

Hi, How to Merge 1 PDF file to 50 PDF together not one by one. Using Acrobat 9 Windows xp.

Depending on just what you are trying to do, you can also use DOCUMENT>Insert Pages to add multiple documents or simply drag and drop the documents into the current document (OK, I have not tried this one).

There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. How do I fix this?

I found a resolution, but it is beyond my tdechnical skill without guidance as to where to enter this/how to do this: HKCU\Software\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\AVGeneral\bValidateBytesBeforeHeader=dword:00000000

Problem is not being able to open pdf attachments. Get this error message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I searched on the web and in the context of a discussion I located, an Adobe professional posted this solution: HKCU\Software\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\AVGeneral\bValidateBytesBeforeHeader=dword:00000000.
I am accustomed to attempting to fix things myself, but I am not a computer science person so it's always a stretch for me. If I get a little guidance I can usually make necessary corrections. I hope that I can with this issue..
Still hoping that someone will know how to fix the error problem which according to what I read is a software issue having to do with the program not understanding something in the pdf header...

HT4759 How can i delete an old iCloud account and start using my own using my Apple ID? If I don't have the old password??

How can i delete an old iCloud account and start using my own using my Apple ID? If I don't have the old password??

If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

How to deal with "There was an error opening this document, the file is damaged and could not be"

Hello, everyone:
I open one pdf document with Adobe Reader 9.3, but it appeared that "There was an error opening this document, the file is damaged and could not be repaired".. and I found that another several pdf document in the same folder that I have not opened for a long time is also "damaged and could not be repaired".
But in the same folder, other documents of different types are ok, does that mean there is something wrong with my hard drive?
Has anyone else run into this issue or have any suggestions?
Thank you very much

It could be that the directory is damaged. It could be that at one time you had a virus that did damage, it is hard to say. Do you have a good backup?
