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 do I share photos and music between different user accounts on the same macbook

How do I share photos and music between different user accounts on the same Macbook? i.e. I want all to be able to access family photos when logged into their respective accounts. Same goes for the iTunes library. Hope this is possible...
Thanks!

To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
To give others selective access to your iPhoto library, you have the option of using iCloud Photo Sharing, if the privacy implications don't bother you. The images will be stored temporarily on Apple servers.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support articles linked below.

There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

How do I share music in iTunes between different iTunes account on the MacBook Pro?

How do I share music in iTunes between different iTunes account on the MacBook Pro?

If it's in a single iTunes library, it's already being shared. If it's in separate user accounts on the computer, move one library to the /Users/Shared/ folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, point it there, and import the music from the other library to it.

How do i share contacts on icloud between 2 iphones

I just updated my iphone 4s and want to share all the contacts on my wife's iphone 4s. How can this be done using iCloud?

It is difficult to reply to Winston Churchill, sir, but I feel compelled to pursue the question.
Your suggestion, which no doubtedly works, is not what I would call sharing.
I mean no disrespect: neither would you, if the matter was sharing of calendars.
In that case, you would say that we should mark any specific calendar and mention a different iCloud account and read-write rights. You need not know it's password. It is up to the email account of that iCloud account, to include these calendars or not. Since this is iCloud level privileges, it works like magic, on a desktop or when mobile.
Your suggestion cannot be easily used to share the contacts with a co-worker.
Knowing the password means you own the account, in my humble namespace this is not sharing.
I think there is no way to share contacts in iCloud, just yet, please correct me if I am wrong.
Sincerely yours,
Koray

How can I share files in airdrop between mac and phone without having setting turned to "everyone"?

I'm trying to utlitise airdrop between my MBP and iPhone 5s. I have the same icloud account for both, but when I have airdrop set to "contacts only" on either device the other is not visible. I have to set either device that I am trying to send to as visible to Everyone for it to show up on the other.
I have myself in my contact book as well so I should technically come up as a contact I would think? I'd rather not have to have visibility set to "everyone" if I can help it.
Any advice?
Thanks

Access saved files in iCloud between different computers

A long time PC user, I am considering buying a new Mac Book Air and also a new iMac. I want to save all types of files, pictures and videos from either machine on iCloud and then access the same files seamlessly from either computer with security, speed and no hassle. Is this possible? What are the pitfalls? What has your experience been?

Thanks. In what way is Dropbox more disruptive than SugarSync?
I keep my files in folders that usually describe what's in them, I have no wish to create a specific folder to keep files that I want to sync to another machine, I prefer my document files to be in the documents folder, at each end.
Dropbox forces you to choose a new place for your files, SugarSync does not.
They both have PC, Mac, IOS, Android etc apps.

How do I share files between my two computers?

I have one computer (which is somewhat old) that doesn't have wireless capabilities as well as a newer laptop and a Wii which are both connected to the internet wirelessly. How do I share files and such between these machines?

Enable File and Printer Sharing on each computer.Also make sure both the computer's are in the same workgroup...
The default workgroup name in Windows Vista has been changed to WORKGROUP. In WindowsXP, the default workgroup name is MSHOME...
Also go into the computer software firewall on each computer, and set it to "trust" the other computers on your network.
If your firewall or PC security program keeps a list of trusted applications (also known as a "trusted zone"), then make sure that your router is in the trusted zone on your firewall...

Can I share files, especially email, between 2 Macs via iCloud?

I have 2 Macs - an iMac for business at a fixed location and a Powerbook (which is much older) for traveling. I want to share files, especially email, between the 2 Macs. Can I do this using iCloud?

Some more info is probably necessary. My Powerbook is NOT using Lion. In fact, it can't because its processor is too old. Can I use iCloud with it?
Also I use Entourage (Microsoft Office) for Mail and that's where I really need to share data, emails, etc.

How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

How do I share files between Macs?

I have a new Mac running Lion. My wife has a MacBook running OS X 10.6.8.
How do I share files between the 2 machines. Her laptop shows up in my Finder and my Mac shows up in her Finder. We try to copy files and it looks like they are copied (using iPhoto export), but there is nothing there. When I try to browse her laptop from my Mac, I am told I don't have permission.
Is this something that can be done? I would like to think so.

How do I share files between a PowerPC 8100 OS 7.6.1 and an iMac OS 10.7.4 over ethernet

How do I share files between a PowerPC 8100 OS 7.6.1 and an iMac OS 10.7.4 over peer to peer ethernet connection? I'm trying to get data off the old machine so I can retire it for good. Can I just save the data and worry about file conversion later?

Addendum
There is a relatively simple server-based way of avoiding difficulties with incompatible system versions et cetera. It could possibly be of some interest.
I tested the following between a System 7.5.3 PowerBook 540 and a Windows XP PC. It ought to work with a System 7.6.1 Power Macintosh 8100 and a MacOS X 10.7.4 iMac as well.
a) Download and install Microsoft Personal Web Server 1.0 for Macintosh onto the 8100. If the 8100 does not have a direct Internet connection, carry out the download on another computer, and then try to transfer the hqx file (as it is) on a CD-R (burn at a low speed) or a 1.44 MB floppy (use StuffIt Expander to decode the hqx on the 8100). Do not change or add anything after the installation; just leave the files as they are.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/164571
b) Drag a compressed example archive (we can call it example_file.sit) to the folder My Personal Web Site (there are other files inside this folder; do not worry about them). Ensure that the compression format is compatible with a decompression tool on the receiving computer.
c) Many people have access to a router (wired or wireless) with a built-in Ethernet switch (usually something like four LAN ports). If applicable, disconnect any incoming Internet (the WAN port). If possible/necessary, switch off the wireless (see the router manual for details about this).
d) Switch off both computers (and the router).
e) Connect an AAUI to RJ-45 transceiver (such as the aforementioned Apple Ethernet Twisted-Pair Transceiver) to the AAUI port of the 8100.
f) Connect an Ethernet cable from the transceiver to the first LAN port of the router.
g) Connect an Ethernet cable from the second LAN port of the router to the iMac.
h) Switch on the router.
i) Start the computers.
j) The TCP/IP control panel on the 8100 is set to connect via Ethernet. DHCP Server is used in this case.
k) Open the Microsoft Personal Web Server control panel.
l) Click on the Start button.
m) Wait (can take a while).
n) Notice the exact address at My URL (under Monitor Web Site). Could be something like http://192.168.1.2 (depends on the router).
o) Launch a web browser on the iMac (I did the testing on the PC with Firefox and Safari).
p) Enter the exact address (see n above) in the browser's address field (http://192.168.1.2 in my example). Press Return. A standard web page should appear. Disregard this page for now.
q) Add the exact file name (example_file.sit) to the address shown in the field. The result would be http://192.168.1.2/example_file.sit in my case. Press Return.
r) The file should start to download to the modern computer.
All the above is intended for a local connection only (otherwise security settings become of importance), and should be considered purely experimental. There are further possibilities (including an FTP plug-in), but it also makes everything more complicated. I have not tested the behaviour with large files or with various files types. Sometimes the server may crash. If so, try a restart. Make sure that you have backup copies of important files already at the 8100 before you begin.
Good luck!

How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

Turn on File Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing, then you should be able to see them in the other Macs' Finder sidebars (under Shared). Click on them, click Connect As, and log in with the user credentials you're sharing from.
