HT204025 Can I remove files from my computer without removing them from iCloud?

Can I remove files from my computer without removing them from iCloud?

Reason I'm asking: I did move a folder over, and then went to iCloud.com, and looked in that folder, and it said it was empty. Thanks
When you move a folder to iCloud Drive, it will upload the contents of this folder to iCloud Drive, but it may take a long tome, even for small items. You may see progress bars, while the contents is uploading.  And the folder may look empty, until it will be updated from iCloud.  For example - shortly after adding the folder "neueBilder" to iCloud Drive.

    How are you planning to store photos in iCloud? There are many ways to use iCloud with photos, but none will save space on your Mac:
    iCloud Drive: Any photo you store on iCloud Drive will also have a shadow copy on your Mac, so you cannot save space, see: iCloud Drive FAQ
    My Photo Stream:  Photos you upload to My Photo Stream from your Mac, are also stored on your Mac. And My Photo Stream is only a temporary storage for a month. You cannot keep the photos permanently in My Photo Stream, see:  iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    iCloud Photo Sharing:  Shared Photo albums are also stored locally, and reduce the resolution of the photos: seeiCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
    iCloud Photo Library (Beta): This is not yet available on a mac, but will be available, when the new Photos.app will be released. Right now you can use it from mobile iOS8 devices, iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ.Photos you store in iCloud from mobile devices can be accessed on your mac using the icloud web portal.  You can however upload to iCloud Photo Library Beta from your mac using the Photos.app (Beta) on web interface at https://www.icloud.com

  • TS4147 I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users.  We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.

    I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users.  We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.

    You can't; not if the phones are sharing the same iCloud account.  If you want to keep your data separate, migrate one of them to a different iCloud account.  (You can continue to share the same iTunes ID.)
    To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (this won't effect the other phone), choose Keep on My iPhone, sign back in with a different Apple ID to set up a new account, turn on your iCloud data syncing, then choose Merge to upload the data to the new account.  You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from each account.
    Another option if you're only concerned about not sharing contacts but wish to share everything else, is to set up a second iCloud account on one of the phones and sync contacts with the secondary account.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off and choose Keep on My iPhone.  Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, sign in with a different Apple ID to create the secondary account, and turn Contacts to On.  You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's contacts from each account.

  • How can I store movies in the cloud and access them from my devices?

    Hello,
    I would like to store movies in the cloud and access them from my device without having to download them to the device because there is not enough space on the harddrive to store them on it. How would I do this? Would I have to download the movies to my PC or could I store them directly in the cloud?
    Thanks,
    Tyler

    Unfortunately I don't use sugarsync myself, I have a dropbox account and it works slightly differently.
    As I understand it you can upload files to a folder in sugarsync from your computer without having them sync to any of your devices. You can access that folder from any of your devices, and although you would need to download them in order to play the video file, you could then delete them without deleting the files in the sugarsync folder in the cloud.

  • HT201250 I don't store any files on my computer, I store them on a hd. Can I restore docs from my hard drive if they were backed up using time machine? And will it restore if the hd isn't even there? Like what if it got stolen or destroyed.

    Yes.  
    And will it restore if the hd isn't even there? Like what if it got stolen or destroyed.
    Also yes.
    Directly-connected external drives (ie, USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt) are not backed-up by default.  You must remove them from the exclusion list in Time Machine Preferences > Options to get them backed-up.  (Network drives cannot be backed-up.)
    And they must be formatted for a Mac -- any variation of Mac OS Extended.
    If the drive is connected, you can browse or restore normally -- just go to the folder or document in question and Enter Time Machine.
    If the drive is not connected, it's a bit different.  See #E3 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

    I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
    If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • HT4910 Can I restore my apps from a computer if I restore from itunes

    Can I restore my apps from a computer if I restore from icloud or itunes when I have not backedup by apps?
    My apps are in my media folder in itunes.
    Thanks

    I just wanted to update this chain since I was able to solve the problem I had. My iPad backups were on a time machine backup, but not on my new computer. In my most recent time machine backup I navigated to:
    ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and took the most recent folder from there. I copied that folder into the corresponding directory on my new machine, and then when I opened iTunes and plugged in my iPad it was there and I was able to restore it!
    Note that if you have multiple devices, you can open that folder in the Backup directory and find the info.plist file, and near the top it will say the name of the device, so I was able to tell which was my iPad backup and which was my iPhone backup.
    Problem solved!

  • How can synchronized local imap folders be migrated to a new computer, without new download from imap server, so that everything is working as before?

    How can synchronized local imap folders be migrated to a new computer, without new download from imap server, so that everything is working as before?
    I only managed to import synchronized folders (from old computer) to local folders in thunderbird at the new computer. Then I tried to move the messages to the folder of the imap account at the new computer where I temporarily limited the synchronization to one month. When I remove this limit the thunderbird program starts to redownload all the messages again nonetheless.
    Since I have a dual boot system (Windows/Linux, thunderbird is installed twice) and have to pay for every megabyte, this is very annoying.

    Have you considered using a shared profile folder for the dual boot? so the two remain in sync?v It will require a drive both operating systems can access, but most people who dual boot have such. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
    otherwise copy the entire profile, not parts of it.

  • Can I update my dads ipad from my computer without syncing?

    My dad is in town and I want to help him update his ipad to ios5.Can I update my dads ipad from my computer without syncing my stuff onto his ipad??

    You could but it's probably not advisable, because as part of the update process all content is removed from the iPad, the update is then applied, and the content is then re-synced to the iPad - so is all your father's content (media, apps, synced photos etc) on your computer so that they can be re-synced back to it ? It is usually best to only sync and do updates via your own computer.
