How do I move files in iCloud while using my mini iPad?

I just recently got an iPad mini with retina display.  This is my first iPad.  There are many things that are new to me.
At the moment, I'm trying to figure out how to move or delete files in iCloud Drive while using my mini iPad.  As I understand it, the only way to look at, organize or move files in the iCloud drive is to login to iCloud via a browser other than installing a separate specific application that lets me do that.  However, I have found that even if I login to the iCloud drive using a browser, I still can't move or delete files while using the mini iPad although I can view the file list and folder list, create file folders, and use files for which I already have an application installed.
How do I get around this so that I can do those things?  Do I really have to get a separate application to do that?  If so, what's a good one to use?

Hi Files get sent to iCloud when you backup this happens Automatically When you charge your iPad Since ios 7 Almost everything can be done over your WiFi Software updates  apps& data can all be synced over WiFi We have  2 iPhones & 3 iPads & have not used PC for over a year. For Apple Devices. Go to ibooks download iPad user guide its Free. Cheers Brian

  • How to store pictures/files on icloud but delete off of ipad

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to upload their files/pics/vids to iCloud while also being able to delete them off of my local iPad?  My iPad is running out of space and I thought I could upload and store these files on the cloud while removing locally.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    You can't do this with iCloud; iCloud is designed to keep your data synced across all your devices and to back up your device, not to serve as a way to expand the storage of your device.  To do this, import your photos and videos to your computer and delete them from your camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • How do I move iPhotos to iCloud while keeping events intact?

    Can I move most of my iPhoto library to iCloud to free up space on my MacBook?  If so, how?  I want to maintain the "metadata" - events, albums, etc.  Once the photos are stored in iCloud, how do I access them

    Photostream photos will only stay in photostream for 30 days and you can only have a thousand photos in photostream at any time. On top of which any photos in photostream on your Mac will take up just as much room as being in iPhoto only.

  • How do I move files to memory stick using Vista

    Can anyone throw any light on my new problem .
    I am using Windows Vista Home on my Toshiba Satellite 350 and I am trying to save a file to memory stick.
    I locate the correct file and click on ' send to removable disc '
    I then get an 'Item not found ''box which contains the message ,
    ''Could not find this item This item is no longer located in C:\Users\Desktop.
    I ( Or wherever am looking) Verify the items location and try again''
    I have checked the location and I have the correct one .
    I have tried this many times with different types of files/locations and I get a similar message every time I try to move the file to anywhere , not just the memory stick
    I have tried dragging the files in to the box and get the same message ,copying and pasting does not work I still get the same message ?
    Whatever am I doing wrong ?

    Thank you for the reply
    Yes, I do know how to copy and paste but as you see from my question I get an 'Item not found ''box popoping up which contains the message
    ''Could not find this item This item is no longer located in C:\Users\Desktop. I ( Or wherever am looking) Verify the items location and try again''
    BUT the files are there .
    I have tried this many times with different types of files/locations and I get a similar message every time I try to move the file

  • How do i move files from my MacBook Pro to my Ipad using bluetooth?

    Apparently the Ipad does not have enough bluetooth services to do the most elemental fuction for what bluetooth was created! File Transfer! Could that be true? or am I just slow and cant figure that out!
    Has anybody tried before?
    G

    Bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as headphones and keyboards, not for transferring files - which would be a slow anyway. The supported bluetooth profiles are listed on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647 . You can sync files via iTunes, or, if they app you want to transfer to supports it, via your wifi network. Plus some apps support Dropbox, email attachments etc

  • How do i move files from pc to icloud?

    I have 2 questions, first of all how do I move files from my PC to icloud?  Secondly how do I access icloud from my PC so I can view and grab files in case I need them?  I have about 7 GB of photos and videos from my iphone4 that I want to move to icloud and I just bought 100GB of icloud storage so I can store stuff on the cloud.  I am sorry for the newbie question.

    What is it then? How and what exactly do i use it for? My i pad says there is not enough storage available so i have purchased more in i cloud. I now want to save some TV programmes and films to i cloud to free up some space but don't know how to... When you are told there is not enough space to download you are prompted to go to settings and to purchase more storage - so it is not unreasonable to assume that this will solve the problem - or am I missing something here? Or is this just a way for apple to get money out of me?
    If this is not what it is meant for then what is it meant for? Is it just space to back up files to? If so then surely what i need is stored there - so i can delete the TV programmes from my i pad and grab them from i cloud later?
    Am rather perplexed...

    How do I move files from my mac to icloud drive to free up space on my mac?
    I moved one file; then when I went to delete it from the Mac it said i was deleting it from the iCloud drive. How do I leave it in iCloud drive, but get rid of it on my Mac?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are these videos in your camera roll or purchases made from iTunes.

  • HT4847 How can I store files on iCloud?

    How can I store files on iCloud?

    Actually, I have found that this is very possible, combining several other tips from around the web, though perhaps not easy.  I am using Moutain Lion.  I am assuming that you have already activated and signed into iCloud previously.  Here are the steps for creating a cloud storage location that you can drage any file into, and access from any of your Macs:
    1) Create a new folder in the directory that is synced with iCloud.  Start by opening a Finder window, and going to the ~/Library/ directory.  Do this by typing Shift-Command-G while the Finder is open, and typing ~/Library in the goto window.  Next, open the directory "Mobile Documents".  Finally, Control-Click inside the Finder and select the "New Folder" option, naming it whatever you like -- I chose "iCloud".
    2) Step two is about creating a shortcut to this iCloud folder in the Finder.  You cannot directly drag the iCloud folder into the Favorites section of the Finder, but you can do this:  Control-Click on your new folder, and select "Make Alias".  Now, drag this alias over to your Favories panel in the finder.  You will be prompted whether you really want to move the Alias out of iCloud: Say "Yes".  Now, delete the Alias -- you don't need the original instance of it any more. (Alternatively, you can skip to the end of step 3 and drag the symbolic link into the Finder Favorites)
    3) Step three is about being able to access this iCloud folder from the Unix command line, and from the Desktop GUI.  Open a Terminal window (Launchpad => Other => Terminal).  By the way, I recommend putting the Terminal into your Taskbar, if it isn't already.  You should be in your home directory ... to verify, type "cd" and press Enter.  Now, create a Unix symbolic link (an Alias won't work for this) to the actual location of the iCloud folder:
    Type "ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/iCloud/ iCloud" and press enter.  The command should be entered precisely, I recommend cut and paste.  The first character is a lower case "L" and there is a space after the backslash between "Mobile" and "Documents".  You should now have a symbolic link to the iCloud folder created.  To view it in the Finder, go to your home directory: Shift-Command-G, and then enter "~/" into the window.  You should see a folder called "iCloud" there, with a little arrow animation in the corner.  You can drag this into the Taskbar to have a permanent clickable shortcut.  You can also access the contents of this folder through the terminal.  From your home directory, just type "cd iCloud" and press Enter.  You are now in the iCloud folder (or more properly, your local version of it), and can use the usual Unix tricks ... "ls" to list contents, "mkdir ABCD" to make a new directory called "ABCD", "mv a.txt b.txt" to rename a file "a.txt" into "b.txt", etc.
    4) Step four is about accessing this folder on other machines.  On a second Mac, repeat all of the steps above *EXCEPT* for creating the New Folder in step 1 ... it already exists, but you can get it into your finder bar, and create sym-links in the same way from there.
    The great thing about this is that when you work, you are editing a *local* copy of the file, so you can work offline if you like.  Then, whenever you have internet access, the *actual remote* cloud copy of any new or modified files is uploaded.  Likewise, updated files are downloaded from the cloud to get your local files into sync.  You have the benefit/safety of a local hard copy, AND the portability (and extra safety) of cloud storage.  It's exactly what I wanted, and it works like a dream.  Plus, time machine can back up your *local* copies, to maintain version history.  I'm not quite sure what happens if you try to simultaneously edit a file from two places, but don't do that.
    Hope that helps you!

  • How do I move files from Event Library to Project Library?

    How do I move Files from Event Library to Project Library? I tried drop and drag, that didn't work. I am new to Apple. I have always had a windows box b4 this. If anyone can help, please do. Thanks
    Alain

    welcome argardner to the  boards..
    you're missing the concept of iM .. you don't move 'files' from Event to Project Library.. Events is the big box of all your imported clips; now, from that box of bricks, you drag the clips into all kind of projects.. you can 're-use' the same clip again'n again in many projects.. you can use all clips of all Events in one Project.. or all clips of one Event in two projects.. or..
    spend some time here:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovie08_GettingStarted.pdf
    the concept of Events & Projects, Clips and Libraries is at first glance very different to 'normal' editing apps, but you'll get convenient to it within minutes..

  • How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

    How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

    What OS are you running.. this is usually only a problem in Mavericks.
    If so I recommend you mount the hard disk manually..
    Use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in the IP address if static.. eg
    AFP://10.0.1.1
    Or the name.. but you will have issues unless the name is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. if you are using bad names.. fix it by a full factory reset in airport utility and give it all names that comply to the above.
    Type in
    AFP://TCname.local Where TCname is replaced with the actual name.
    You will be asked for the password the first time which is public unless you changed it.. please remember to save this in the keychain.
    Copy files then to a new directory you create on the TC.. do not place files inside the TM sparsebundle. Nor directly under the main directory.

  • How do I share files on iCloud between different apps?

    Hi,
    how do I share files on iCloud between different apps?
    I would like to edit simple plain text files on my Mac and my iPad using different apps. They don't see the content of each other. How do I fix this?
    example:
    when I create a .txt files:
    Byword on Mac syncs nicely with Byword on iOS.
    Ulysses 3 on Mac syncs nicely with Daedalus Touch.
    BUT, cross-sync is not possible.... :/
    How can I change this? - I would like to work with Byword on my Mac and Daedalus on the go.
    Thanks in advance!

    Cross-sync only works if an app on the iDevice allows it.  For example, some apps (editors) sync with Dropbox (icloud usually isn't the thing to use) but only in their own folders. 
    If you save a file from the mac to it's own folder, A, on dropbox and on the device you use a different app that uses its own folder, B, then you won't be able to reach folder A on the device. 
    One thing to look for in editors that support Dropbox (most do, on a device - clearly all do on a mac) is whether they access dropbox using the root folder.  From there you can drop down to any subfolder and reach the files you want.

  • How can I move files from FileAppPro to open in Adobe ?

    How can I move files in FileAppPro to Adobe to open?

    You will need to use the "Open In" functionality that is provided by FileAppPro. It appears that to do this, you do a "Long Press" on the file in their file list.
