How do I store different folders to ICloud?

I modified my 17" I7 Mid 2010 MacBook Pro over a year ago to install 2-500Gb SSD drives by removing my DVD drive. Everything has worked fine, but I obviously did this in order to have some data stored on the second SSD. The most important folders on the second SSD drive are my IPhoto files, My ITunes music files and my Documents folders.
I cannot determine how ICloud determines which folders to use to store these files on the local machine, and therefore I do not know if my data is actually being stored in ICloud after transferring over from Mobil Me, since these data are not in the usual location on my MacBook Pro.
How can I manage the locations of folders on my MacBook Pro for ICloud?
Any help appreciated....

Thank you for your response.
I am not sure you understood the question after reading your response.
I am clear on the difference between Mobil Me and ICloud, and there is certainly no IDisk equivalent in ICloud.
I have always been clear on the usual locations for storage of these data files for IPhoto, ITunes and Documents (the default location for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files).
I am not using the normal locations becasue of constraints in the amount of available storage. You many recall that both ITunes and IPhoto as well as the IWork applications can use locations different from the normal ones you mention to store their data files. It is unclear, and undocumented so far as I can tell, how ICloud determines the location of files to be synchronized. If it is the "usual" location, those which you mention, they are not there on my MBP.
I was unaware of the limitations of the documents synchronization, and can find no documentation that describes this. It is also unclear where Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files might be located for synchroniztion through ICloud. Once again, my data files for these apps will not be found in the usual location, and I cannot tell whether ICloud looks to the "normal" location, or is directed by the applications for the location of the data files.
I believe that the real question is where ICloud looks to synchronize its data. Does it look in the normal location (those which you mention) or does it look where the application looks.
I am excited about the functionality touted for ICloud, but quite disappointed in the absence of any meaningful documentation.
Thanks again for your kind reply....

HT4847 How do I store things in my iCloud storage

Please tell me how do I store things in the iCloud and use the 5 GB

iCloud helps you to backup the data online. For example: you use Dropbox to save files, which are easily accessible on any computer, when you login with your email address & password.
The same way, you can login with apple id & password on different devices. iCloud will stream the photos or download apps, automatically to other devices at the same time, if you purchased on your iPhone.
So if I download, Angry birds on my iPhone, it will automatically gets downloaded on my iPad as well.
Or if I buy a song from iTunes Store on my iPad, it will automatically appear on my iPhone.
Apart from that you can save the following things on the iCloud Server
Purchased music, movies,
TV shows, apps, and books
Photos and video in the Camera Roll
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Hope this helps

I am having the same problem I think. With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch. I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore. Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
, so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

How do I store my documents on icloud?

How do I store my documents on icloud and access it on other devices?

If by 'Documents' you mean iWork documents, you need to enable 'Documents' in System Preferences>iCloud and then when you are ready to upload specifically iWork documents, go to http://me.com/icloud , navigate to the iWork sections, choose the page for the document type, and drag the document to it.
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm9d2051b9
Mountain Lion adds a few document types, and it's possible that others will be added as time goes on.
However if you are talking about other sorts of documents, then iCloud does not provide general file storage in the manner of the late lamented iDisk. You will need to find a third-party alternative: this page examines some options:

Why do you not want to use Active X?
One very good reason that I can think of is that MS keeps changing their ActiveX interface with each version of Excel, so code written for one version of Excel using ActiveX may not work for another version of Excel, even though the basic functionality hasn't changed. A perfect example is when MS changed the "Value" property to "Value2". Yeah, that made a whole lot of sense.

Then it's something you're doing. Please post your code. Have you tried a search on this forum for ActiveX and Excel? There have been tons of posts on it, including lots of examples. There's also the Excel thread.

How do I store tv programmes in iCloud to then play on ipad2

Hi there,
I can't work out how to store my tv programmes in iCloud and then play through my iPad.
Can anyone help?'
P

Welcome to the Apple community.
You do not store your TV shows in iCloud. Indeed iCloud has nothing to do with TV shows, movies or any other iTunes content, which is all handled by iTunes. Any TV shows you have purchased from iTunes, can be re-downloaded from the purchased section at the iTunes Store on your iPad.

How can i store an app on iCloud from a mac?

I'm trying to use Final Cut Pro which requires 4GB of memory to use, but my mac is telling me that i there is not enough storage to do so. i set up my cloud which gives me 5GB of storage, i haven't synced it with my iPhone or iPad so the cloud is purely on my mac and i want to know if i can store the app on the iCloud alone enabling me to use it?

The iCloud storage isn't on your Mac; it's on Apple's servers, and content from it can't be run directly on a Mac. In addition, the 4GB figure is RAM and not drive space.

How do you store Pages templates in iCloud?

I have a MacBook Pro and an iPad 2 and have made several templates in Pages on my MacBook and now want those to be on my iPad, but it says the file format is not supported. Is there any chance this will be coming to the iCloud or is it a pipedream? It's really useless for me to have Pages now because I need the templates for school and work and it ends up making more work for me that I cannot just use

Create the Template. Go to: File > Save as Template. Select iCloud from the drop down menu. Click Save.
This is the icon for a Pages template on the cloud:

HT4847 How do you store apps in icloud

How do you store apps in the Icloud??

By either restoring your iCloud backup, which will restore all data, settings, apps and other purchased media contained in the backup, or by redownloading them from the app store as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 (which will restore the app, but not any app data).

HT1660 Store my iTunes in iCloud and not my computer so save to memory space?

How can I store my iTunes in iCloud and not my computer to save on memory space? I want my iPhone and iPad to Sync with iCloud and not my PC..... What is the sequence I need to follow?

Hello Bondisun,
It sounds like you would like to free up disk space on your computer by listening to your purchases directly from the Cloud, rather than storing them on your computer. First check the preferences setting to Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases in your iTunes preferences:
Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
Display items purchased from the iTunes Store that haven’t been downloaded to your computer. These items have a Download button next to them.
From: iTunes 11 for Windows: iTunes Store preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12468
Then you can delete all the songs in your library, and empty your trash to free up the disk space.
iTunes 11 for Mac: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12159
If you have music in your library that was NOT purchased from iTunes, this will not work for them. In order to store those songs in the Cloud and listen to them via streaming as outlined above, you would need the iTunes Match service.
Here is some more information on that:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
As far as your iOS devices, simply sign into your accout in Settings > iTunes and App Stores and that will sync your devices to your iTunes account.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

HT204053 My ipad stores my documents on iCloud. How can I find them from a different computer, as I used to do by using a memory stick on my old PC etc ?

My ipad stores my documents in iCloud. How can I find them from a different computer? I used to use a memory stick and could work on my documents on any computer and want to have a replacement system using documents created on my ipad - I can't use a memory stick with it.

How do you know that they are on iCloud, the iPad can (and does) save locally. If they are on iCloud they will be accessible via the application that created them (Pages, Numbers etc) and can be reached from any computer with iCloud access by logging to iCloud.com. But you did that and stated that they are not there, so what makes you think that they are?
