  • How to access pdf files on icloud with iphone

    Does anyone know how to access pdf files on icloud when saved to icloud on a mac?

    At the moment, you can't.  A favourite complaint.  Hopefully, the situation will change in the near future, but only Apple knows when or if.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • I used a partitioned HDD for time machine, using a partition already containing other data files. I am now no longer able to view that partition in Finder. Disk Utility shows it in grey and "not mounted". Any suggestions of how to access the files?

    I used a partitioned HDD for time machine, using a partition already containing other data files. I am now no longer able to view that partition in Finder. Disk Utility shows it in grey and "not mounted". Any suggestions of how to access the files? Does using time machine mean that that partition is no longer able to be used as it used to be?
    HDD is a Toshiba 1TB, partitioned into two 500GB partitions.
    OS X version 10.9.2

    Yes, sharing a TM disk is a bad idea, and disks are cheap enough so that you don't need to.
    Now
    Have you tried to repair the disk yet

  • How to access host files?

    how to access host files?

    Easy and not depends on your software version:
    press Shift+cmd+G while your finder window is open and active, you will get a new window with the field where you can write /etc/hosts
    Anyway to edit hosts file you should open it with the sudo command, this can be done in terminal window, not in Finder. Also easy and can be done next way:
    press Shift+Cmd+U while Finder window is open and active, then choose Terminal.app, and after it opens enter sudo nano /etc/hosts. You will be asked for password - this is the password you enter then you installing new application. You should know few commands to edit your hosts file:
    Previoius page/Next Page of the file - Ctrl+Y/Ctrl+V
    Add record - Input the text you need on the last free line of the file and then press Ctrl+O
    Delete record - put cursor on the line you want to delete and press Ctrl+K
    Undo - Ctrl+U
    Exit - Ctrl+X
    After edit your hosts file you should update DNS records - in terminal window enter the command dscacheutil -flushcache
    But if you really don't know what are you doing, my advice is do not touch your hosts file, ask for professional to do his job. Just like I'm doing usually. )))

  • Cannot work out how to access my photos on icloud or on my pc?

    cannot work out how to access my photos on icloud or on my pc?

    You cannot view Photos stored on your iCloud by visiting iCloud.com but to view iCloud Photos on your Computer you will need iCloud Control Panel for Windows to be downloaded and installed on your computer and Enable Photostream on your  iOS Device. For more details on how to Enable PhotoStream and use iCloud Control Panel go through the link below.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2605
    By default, photos are automatically downloaded to the My Photo Stream folder inside the Photo Stream album in your Pictures library, and uploaded from the Uploads folder inside the Photo Stream album in your Pictures library.

    how do access my apps in icloud?

    If you mean on your iPad, go to the App Store on the iPad, select Purchased at the bottom to see Apps you have already purchased. 
    You can filter the list to things not currently installed with the "Not on This iPad" tab at the top. 
    You can then see purchased Apps you can download from the Cloud.
    Dowload by clicking on the "Cloud Download" button.

  • How to access my backed up icloud files

    I can't seem to figure out ...how to access my i-cloud account where my files have been backed up?  I went into some i-cloud acct, but it does not have access to my files.

    You can access all your iCloud data from within the apps on your phone (contacts, calendars, etc.).  You can't access an iCloud backup except to restore it to your device.

  • How to access the whole iTunes iCloud Library with an Android phone?

    Hello all,
    I am a newbie here, so please forgive me if I'm not following protocol here.  I searched for the word "Android" in all of the support docs. and got 0 hits!  Is there a corporate policy at work here?
    I know that Google and Apple (and by extension Android and iOS) are competing hard for all of us techie music lovers out there who use both ecosytems.  Well, Google Play wants to have my entire music library, Apple's ever at the ready with iTunes/iCloud/Match, and now I've even gotten solicitations from Amazon which has a "Cloud MP3 Player" with purchases ready to download that I made from Amazon in 2010, before I ever dreamed of getting MP3 files instead of a physical CD.  I mean the liner notes had the lyrics to the songs right?  Well, I enjoy looking at lyrics.  Anyways, . . .
    What are the best recommendations for how to access my iCloud music library with my Android phone? 
    Yes, one solution is to use both Google's and Apple's services and just duplicate everything everywhere.  But, I'd just like to settle on iTunes/iCloud solution, but I have a brand new Android phone that I want to use.  The iPhone 5 screen doesn't come close to my Motorola Droid RAZR Max HD!  :-)  Sorry, all you iPhone folks.  You have all the app's., so I have to latch on to somethine for a reason why I stayed with Android! 
    Thanks,

    Apple is pretty much the only one who does not support other platforms and it will be their downfall in the future. I have bought a few hundred tracks (and one movie) from iTunes before the competition started to catch up. Their Cloud service just came into Finland but I've already moved on to others. I've also bought music from Spotify, Nokia Music and Xbox Music. I've been a subscriber of Nokia Music, Xbox Music and now Google Music. I'm also a Netflix subscriber and I have a local IPTV service that also provides movie rentals from various providers - and guess what, they also work on all platforms.
    The reality is that today was the first time in a long long time that I've actually even bothered to open iTunes. Lack of platform support will destroy iTunes in the long run. Apple is starting to look like Microsoft once did. Today you can even get Office for almost every platform - even mobile devices.
    Limited access and/or features is also one of the biggest reasons that turn people away from legit services. DRM protected music was the reason I had over 20,000 MP3s before it was removed from iTunes. When that happened I deleted all the old files and became a honest, paying customer.
