HT204053 How to manage icloud files

How can i manage delete files / download files from my icloud ?

You will not, however, be able to use a back up file for that. iOS back up are strictly for recover purposes and are an "all or nothing proposition". Use something like DropBox or Box to transfer the files to the their respective cloud server, then to your PC.

  • Why was there over ten thousand file in my "All My Files" on my new MBP. I'm very new at using ICloud. I don't understand syncing vs time vs time vs syncing! I simply have not idea how to manage my file now.

    Why is there over ten thousand file in my "All My Files" on my new MBP. I'm very new at using ICloud. I don't understand syncing vs time vs time vs syncing! I simply have not idea how to manage my files now. I read short comments & how to's in the support sections, but nothing I've read so far explains"best practices" or turning iCloud off to get a grip on managing files. I have 250gb fast storage on the MBP itself, and 200gb in the ICloud, one would thing that's enough. The files seem too be multiplying like rabbits. IPhoto's Faces has created hundereds of "somethings" not sure what. I am sure I am very frustrated! Please comment with kindness.

    OK, for example. If I download a document, song, or photo from ICloud, as I understand, it goes to Download in Finder. If I want to move it to a local folder of my choice on the solid state drive in my new MBP, does a copy always stay in ICloud? How do you housekeep? I have always  used to a physical drive. What is different about the mind set.  I used ICloud to store the contents of my old MBP. Once I download all the files I need, should I turn off ICloud and manage the file locally? I don't like the automatic movement of files when I don't understand the locations.
    Nope, you don't understand it.
    If you download a song from the iTunes cloud storage (which is not iCloud) it goes into the iTunes music folder (generally to a subfolder therein)
    If you download a document from the iCloud drive it will go wherever you chose to put it.
    If you download a photo from the iCloud Photo library it will also go wherever you choose to put it.*
    If you move something you have not copied it, if you want to keep a copy on the iCloud drive and in a local folder, you would copy, not move it.
    There is no 'automatic' movement, you decide what to store on the iCloud drive (exactly like any other drive) and what to remove.
    The iCloud drive appears as a folder in Finder, you use it just like any other, copy/paste, save, delete etc.
    You can turn the iCloud drive off whenever you like, download the content to a local drive first.
    * Because the iCloud drive appears as a folder in Finder there is in fact no need to ever download anything to your Mac, everything on the drive is already on your Mac.

  • How to Manage Archive Files in Oracle 10g

    Dear all
    I have 10g Database server running in Archive Mode, there are huge number of archive files have been increased ,
    (1) how can i find old and obsoleted Archive files that will not be needed for recovery in future.so that i can delete them inorder to free space.
    (2) How to manage Archive Files .
    Kindly help
    Thanks
    Regards
    Farnaw

    Hello,
    (1) how can i find old and obsoleted Archive files that will not be needed for recovery in future.so that i can delete them inorder to free space.It depends on your Backup policy.
    If you use RMAN you can follow the advices previously posted, if you use "user managed" Backup then, you don't need the
    log files archived before the begining of the last full backup of your database.
    To know when the archived log was generated and the first change included in it, you can query the v$archived_log as follow:
    alter session set nls_date_format='DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';
    select recid, name, first_change, first_time, completion_time
    from v$archived_log;
    (2) How to manage Archive Files . You must backup the archived logs so as to be able to apply them. After making a safe backup of them on a tape, they can be
    deleted from disk.
    Of course you can also keep the last archived logs on your disk (beside of backup them on tape) so that you don't have to
    restore them and save time if you need them.
    It depends on your needs and the free space you have.
    Hope this help.
    Best regards,

  • Ideas of how to manage voice files on iPod

    This might be a wierd one ... I bought an iPod on Satuday, really happy with it! But aside from having all my music there was was 1 other main purpose.
    I'm a medical student and record all my lecture notes so I can listen back to them to help me learn it all. I travel a lot and it would be a great way to multi task and listen to lecture notes on the move. However there are loads of lectures and loads of notes so I'd really have to categorise them otherwise it will all get very confusing.
    I asked 3 separate assistants in the iPod shop about folders and subfolders, they all said that I can create folders and subfolders and subfolders in subfolders in itunes and transfer them across to my iPod ...... great! Exactly what I wanted. Got home, and haven't worked out how to do it - searched online and still no luck and read in a few places that I cant even do it!
    Here's what I want to be able to do, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
    Will have folders like the following:
    Neuro -> Eye -> about 10-20 voice recordings
    Neuro -> Anatomy -> Neck -> about 5-10 voice recordings
    Neuro -> Anatomy -> Face -> about 5-10 voice recordings
    Muscles -> Anatomy -> chap 1
    Muscles -> Anatomy -> chap 2
    Muslces -> antomy -> chap3 .... etc
    Mucles -> physiology ....
    etc
    anyway, you get the idea. Probably need about 3 levels of folders.
    Also, I also asked one guy if I was able to add folders to the very first menu screen you get (the one with music,photos,videos etc) ideally I would want to have folders for my modules (neuro, muslces etc) there and then the subfolders leading off from it...
    Big question: is this possible? and if so, how?
    If not - anyone got any ideas on how I can manage the files without having a huge long list? Or using the iPod efficiently for what I want to do.
    Also - I do want to have my music files on it as well (although for me its a secondary function) - it would be nice to keep the music and the audio files separate ..
    Any help would be great. Thanks

    anyone have any ideas about this?

  • How to manage linked files with multiple designers?

    Hi,
    I work at a small company with multiple designers (5 of us) where 3 of us work remotely. We use dropbox to manage our files so that everyone has access--we keep client files in specific folders and stock media in a shared folder.
    Currently whenever we open a file that's been edited by someone else, we have to go in and individually relink the files. Some would prefer to embed the files, however this can increase filesize by 60-400mb. Our current files total in at around 500gb, so I don't think that's a viable option.
    4 of us are on Macs, 1 on Windows. 1 has CS5, 3 have CS6 and one has CC.
    My question is this:
    If we all have the same path to dropbox (or the same path to the file, either way) will Illustrator be able to automatically find the files?
    Eg. X:/Dropbox/...
    If so, will it work cross platform?
    I know InDesign has a better link management system, is there a good plugin that would help with this?
    I'm going to continue to do my own research and testing, but I thought I'd consult those more knowledgeable than me.
    Thank you!

    Thanks for your response. Currently, dropbox works so that it syncs online but also is stored locally on your hard drive (not like a network drive). So one person could have a different path to the dropbox folder than the other. As for the second part, that would be about the same as embedding it in the file as far as general disk space usage. We use many of the same stock photos in multiple files, so keeping them in the same location reduces the amount of space used. It wouldn't be a huge problem if illustrator used relative paths instead of absolute paths, but alas.
    I was forgetting that Mac OS doesn't use drive letters, so there probably won't be a way for illustrator to read things as the same path cross-platform...
    I'm still wondering if there are any good plug-ins which help find broken links.
    I found this: http://techblog.willshouse.com/2011/01/16/adobe-illustrator-linked-files-fix/ which might be helpful, but I'm wondering if there's a better solution.

  • How to manage many files?

    Hi,
    I'm using IMAQ USB to generate a snap shots every 10 seconds by using
    two USB cameras. After the program takes the snap shots, it saves the
    pictures in a folder. I usually run the program for a day. After a day,
    I generate about 17,000 22kb JPG files.  When I click on the
    folder to view the files, I often have to wait 30 seconds or more for
    the folder to open, and the system begins to run extremely slow after
    that. 
    Is there a certain way to manage many files?  Can I do something to my program to prevent this from happening?
    By the way, I'm running a 3.2 GHz P4 with 512mb of ram.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thank You,
    Molana

    The problem is the 17K worth of files in one directory. One method would be to have your code create a new folder every hour, possibly naming the directory with the date and hour, then you will end up with 24 folders with 360 files per folder. I use something similar on projects that are going to run for a very long time, that save files less frequently than yours, but once every few minutes for 6 months works out to a lot of files too!

  • HT204053 How to setup iCloud on iPad

    Each time I enter iCloud.com, it refers me to a website. I select my iPad and it doesn't load the iCloud manager.
    How do I load icloudbon my iPad to mirror my iPhone4S?
    Thank you.

    You cannot use Safari on the iPad to access icloud.com.  Instead you use the appropriate apps (mail, contacts, etc.) to access your data.  There is no "icloud manager" - can you describe what you mean by this.  And what do you mean by "mirror myh iPhone4S"?  You can't mirror (this is a technical term, not sure if this is what your mean) one iOS device from another.
    Have you gone into Settings>iCloud and logged into your account, then turned on the features you want?

  • HT204053 how to merge iCloud and Apple IDs?

    How can I merge my iCloud and Apple ID's?

    I just got off the phone with Apple's support (got transferred several times, but they finally transferred me to an "expert" in the security department.
    I'm moving to the east coast, and my current ISP is only local to the California Bay Area, so I need to use a new email address for my AppleID.  I thought the obvious choice would be my icloud.com email address.
    The Apple support "expert" was confused, but eventually said I'd need to create a non-apple email to use as my email address for my existing AppleID if I didn't want two separate ID's.
    My response was "So Apple is recommending that I do NOT use iCloud and I should create an non-Apple email account?"  He said "Unfortunately, yes."
    Come on Apple - you look riduculous.  You're abandoning loyal long time customers by saying either create and manage two AppleID's or don't use "iCloud" so you can have a single AppleID.
    It's time for Apple to step up and fix this ridculous mess.

  • How to manage video files?

    Hi!
    I have installed the development media server, played arround with some of the demos and now i'm looking for the possibilty to manage my VOD video files. But i can't find any tool, or informations delivered by the server how much video files are in the vod directory.
    Do i need an extra tool?
    Thx!

    Okay - so i have to code something - the server doesn't deliver any informations about the video files by an webservice or by http? There is no possiblity in the administraion API to get this information?
    Is it possible to say that the video file "example.flv" is only avaible for streaming in the vod directory between 08:00 am and 05:00 pm?

  • How to manage iCloud backups?

    I am full on my icloud storage, i know how to look in phone and manage by deleting. Although how do i look at what i am deleting. I feel like i have stored things that i have no way of finding.? any help out there

    If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
    Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
    If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
    If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
    The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
    Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
    To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

  • How to manage iCloud storage?

    My iphone and ipad say that the storage is full and it is not doing the back up or can't perform any upgrades to them because of the storage. How can I manage the storage?

    You can manage a device's backup by going into Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > 'device name' and change what apps are being backed up from it (on your iPad you can only manage your iPad's backup, you will need to do similar on your phone for its backup)

  • HT204053 How to change iCloud I'd to match apple Id

    I had to change my apple id and password on my devices but my iCloud account still has old id listed and I can't sign in now. How can I do this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
