How do I migrate working docs and data from my Mac Pro to my iCloud account?

Ive just upgraded to IOS 5 in the belief I can make even better use of my iPhone by using it as a fully featured PDA. This really requires the shuffling of docments and spreadsheets in between my iPhone when I'm mobile and my Mac when I'm back at my desk and need the full functionality it has.  Until I can find a way to move things from the Mac into the cloudI'm stuck.  This may be a stupid question but it, to me, is a fairly fundemental one.

Plex is a bit of a commitment since it creates a library on a server that you can watch from anywhere on just about any sort of device. If it's something you're going to do frequently (e.g. build a library of mkv or mpeg or avi files) then it's a great solution.
I think you can probably run the client and the server on the same machine, if you want, though I haven't tried doing it before.  Plex can be found at http://www.plexapp.com
The client (called Plex Home Theater) has a setting that allows you to pipe the raw bitstream directlty through the optical connections. I rip most of my Blurays with the DTS track and plex handles it beautifully by simply passing the data to the optical out connection which gets decoded by my reciever.
Let me know if you have a hard time finding the setting and I'll boot up my copy and see where they moved it. 
Good luck!
FWIW, I never got VLC to play the bitstream directly to my reciever, but I honestly haven't tried it for about 5 years or and it's changed a lot since then.

    I HAVE A MAC POWERBOOK G4 AND WOULD LIKE TO TRANSFER MY FILES, PHOTOS AND VIDS TO MY NEW MAC PRO,  WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST METHOD??  THANKS ROB

    I think the easiest way is to use a firewire cable (you will need on like this: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=Firewire+400+to+800+cable&oe=utf-8&rls= org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=120962573 04625337030&sa=X&ei=PytQT9r4NtOBsgL9s_C6Dg&ved=0CHYQ8gIwAA).
    Power up the Power Mac G4 and hold the "T" key while it is booting (this puts the G4 notebook in Firewire Target Disk mode).  Connect the G4 notebook to the newer MacBook Pro and use the Migration assistant (/Applications/Utilities) OR browse through the files and copy what you want.

    Are you sure of that?  Check in the Library.  Click on the Apps icon to see all apps.  Similarly click on the Music icon to see the songs.

  • How can I delete all songs and data from my 80GB ipod classic without opening itunes?

    I have an older 80GB ipod classic that works but will not play any songs. I'm trying to delete all songs and data from the hard drive to see if that will fix the problem, however, it will not appear in my itunes. I've tried various ways to help it appear in my itunes but I do not want to delete my itunes because I have another ipod that has all those songs on it.
    I was wondering if there was a way to restore my ipod back to the beginning without having to go through itunes. Thanks!

    It might, but I wouldn't bet much on it.  Either way, give it a shot.
    Otherwise, if appears in Windows an external hard disk, try a low level reformat of the device's hard drive.  See here for instructions on how to do this.

  • Migrating CMSA Assets and Data from one server to another

    Hello,
    Is there an official way to migrate the data from one CMSA installation to another one?  In the near future we're going to need to move from our development machine into the production environment, and it would be great if there was a way to get all the assets we've created in dev over to production without the need to manually re-create them all.
    Is this possible?
    Cheers,
    Kristian

  • OIM: How to get the last operation and data from a child form action

    Dear OIM guru,
    I have a regular Process form, a child form and a process definition. When there is an insert/delete into child form a trigger is raised and the process task gets called. The process task does whatever it needs to do on the target system. This is all fine. However, after the task completes, lets say successfully, I want to send out an email to the user saying, for example, group 1 has been added to you or just got deleted.
    I am not able to figure out how to get that last operation and child form data. I am sure you came across this and if so please let me know how to do this.
    Thanks

    So, Can I add a similar process task with the same exact condition one more time? I thought I couldn't use the same condition again. For example, when a group is deleted can I use the process data->child data->group Id with old value check box checked on another process task?

  • How does time machine work when being used with a mac pro?

    How does time machine work when backing up a mac pro?
    Considering the fact that the mac pro can hold 8TB and a external (non NAS) hard drive can hold only 2TB does time machine only backup the OS disk.

    Time Machine will backup everything by default, on every disk in your Mac.
    Choose System Preferences > Options to exclude items. You could exclude everything except your OS...but I'd think it is your data that's more important to you, if you have to make choices.
    See...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964018
    While it's true you can store almost 8TB, how much do you think you'll actually store? If you have 1TB of data you want to store then a 2TB drive can do it. Also when your TM drive begins to get full it will begin deleting the oldest backups to make room.
    You could also get a Drobo with 8 bays...

  • How can I migrate my junk-mail settings from one Mac to another?

    I would like to move my junk mail settings from one Mac to another. I found this article (https://kb.siteground.com/how_to_synchronize_the_junk_email_settings_in_mac_mail /), but can't locate the file indicated in the article, so I suspect that the article is out of date (though it's not dated).
    Both machines - MacOS 10.9.5; Mail 7.3.
    Any insights much appreciated!
    Best,

    Make your user library visible and see if you can find it.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library.

  • How to add photos to iPad and iPhone from my Mac?

    I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4. I have downloaded and installed the new OS for them, and I run iTunes 11.0.1 on my Mac. I can no longer find a way to sync photos from my Mac to either device. Why no photos tab on 11.0.1?

    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Transferring data from one mac pro to another with firewire

    I have owned an ibook G4 and a Macbook pro 17 in. The Macbook Pro 17 in was a 2006 and the video went out on it/conveniently 1 mo after Applecare expired!. I took it in and the genius bar sent it out to the depot but they determined it was damaged and refused to fix it (it had a tiny dent on the lid that I do not know how it got there unless the mag adapter did it while in the case). So I lost a $3k laptop. I now have a new Macbook Pro 15 in just purchased and I transferred all the data from the ibook G4 and the 17 in. by firewire using migration assistant. The problem is I have about 5 accounts now because it would not let me transfer things under the same name so I had to rename accounts and create new ones in order to transfer stuff. My question is, how do I go about incorporating all the accounts into one on this new 15 inch MBPro?

    Target disk mode may be what you're looking for. Hold down the "T" key while booting. See the Apple support article for more information.
