HT201232 how can I stop icloud drive from upgrading?

iCloud drive has been updating almost 2 days or longer on my 5s.  How can I stop it from upgrading so long?
I was having a problem with not being able to swipe pages and opening apps for almost 3 weeks, so I downloaded iOS 8.1 to see if that would help but it didn't and now the icloud drive won't stop updating on my 5s.  I unclicked icloud on my laptop and backed up to my computer but that didn't stop iCloud updating on my phone, I've also reset my phone and that didn't help.

The problem is that should iCloud Photo restart, say, through a computer restart, the problem starts all over again. Apparently removing the photo from iPhoto did not do the trick.
Did you delete the corrupted photo from its event and from My Photo Stream as well? Have you deleted the photo completely by emptying iPhoto's Trash and the System Trash?
You could also try to delete the photos from the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/
That will remove the temporary copy of "My Photo Stream" on the Mac from the user library.
The user library is hidden by default. To open the hidden User Library:
Use the Finder's "Go" menu.
Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it.
In the Finder window that will open navigate to the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/.

  • How can I stop iCloud photo from looping a failed photo upload?

    My mother has an iMac that was mysteriously losing HD space. It turns out that the process called iCloud Photo evidently was trying and failing to upload a corrupt photo that I had inadvertently put in her iPhoto app. Every few seconds a copy of the photo was appearing in the folder named com.apple.photostream-agent. There were 22,000 copies of this photo.
    With each failed photo upload attempt, these errors also were logged in console:
    1/4/15 7:50:57.709 PM com.apple.photostream-agent[343]: [publisher:didEncounterError:publishingAssetCollections:] Failed to upload asset uqzx6U1gTAi5HumqNsH3YA
    1/4/15 7:50:57.808 PM com.apple.photostream-agent[343]: SQL operation failed with code 11
    I deleted the photos and restored the HD space after killing the iCloud Photo process in Activity Monitor. Then I removed the photo out of iPhoto.
    The problem is that should iCloud Photo restart, say, through a computer restart, the problem starts all over again. Apparently removing the photo from iPhoto did not do the trick.
    How can I get iCloud Photo to stop trying to upload this photo?

  • How can I stop iCloud music from playing while my iphone is on shuffle?

    The hide feature does not stop the songs from playing it only removes them from sight. Or how can I remove songs from my iCloud.

    Hello RationalPuppet
    If you go to Settings > Music and then toggle off Show All Music that will prevent from seeing your downloaded music. I have also provided other articles for hiding purchases and even deleting purchases from iTunes in the Cloud.

  • How can I stop Google Drive from crashing on Mac OS Lion?

    Every time I try to open anything on Drive on my computer, it crashes.  Whether it's a document or presentation, my computer will not open anything without the browser (Safari) crashing.  I am all up to date, and have tried opening Terminal to do sudo killall, I have re-installed Drive....and nothing has worked.  Help?!

    That would probably be a good question for Google.

    Hi iprover,
      Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
    Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
    This is what I gather.
    iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
    This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
    My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
    That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
    All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

  • All my contact are being copied to my friend's iphone and i also am getting his contacts on my phone,when i delete a contact it also deletes it from his phone,we are sharing the same apple ID. How can i stop our contacts from being shared between us

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

  • How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

    How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

  • How can i stop internet media from flooding elements 6?

    how can I stop elements 6 from constantly importing internet photos and flooding my memory?

    PSE isn't importing photos off the internet, but it could be importing photos from your hard drive that are being placed there as you browse the internet.
    It's likely that you've told PSE to import all new photos on your hard drive using the Watched Folders mechanism.
    In the Organizer, go to File > Watch Folders...
    See the list of folders PSE is currently watching.
    Check the setting near the bottom of the dialog as to what PSE should do when it finds new images in the folders it is watching.
    Make any necessary changes to have it do what you want it to do.
    Cheers
    Bob

  • When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

    When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

    In Logic:
    Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
    This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
    On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number.  It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

  • How can I stop a JFrame from closing when clicking the close button.

    I need to display a dialog when a user attempts to close my app, giving them the option to close, minimize or cancel. How can I stop the form from closing after the user makes his selection? I have the folllowing code, but my form still closes after selecting an option:

    If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.
