HT4436 is iCloud storage only for files created by apple programs?

is the icloud storageonly for fies created with apple programs or can i store a word document for example?

Microsoft won't turn on iCloud in Office. Some third-party applications have got iCloud, but others haven't got iCloud.

  • How can I make I-cloud back up only the files created since the last Time-Machine backup?

    Hi everyone,
    So, I wish to use time-machine to back up every six weeks or so. This means a whole range of files could be lost if my wonderfully fast but terrifyingly unrecoverable solid state hard drive packs up.
    Has anyone any idea how I can make Icloud only backup files created since the last time machine backup?
    Best
    Danny

    Automator is not the right solution.
    Use a folder action script. Apple has an example here: (Auto-backup Script):
    http://www.apple.com/applescript/folderactions/05.html
    the steps might have been written for 10.3, so the steps may not be 100% right, but this will do what you want.

  • I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

    I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

    This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage.  In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
    If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud.  To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back.  (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

  • Can I upload FOLDERS into iCloud or only individual files?

    can I upload FOLDERS into iCloud or only individual files?

    The only items you can upload are iWork documents, and these are not stored in folders. General file/folder storage is not provided.

  • Am I correct, if I presume that Photo stream IS the iCloud storage device for photos?

    Is Photo-stream the iCloud storage device for photos?

    Photo Stream is a photo sync service between your computers and devices. That's not designed as a storage service, because photos uploaded to Photo Stream are deleted 30 days after adding them to it.

  • Lion administrator setting changed to read only for file sharing. Now hung machine

    I was trying to network my Mac with a WIndows 7 machine and tried to have my name in the file sharing read write instead of other users such as administrator   when I changed the administrator to read  only for file sharing rights and could not add my name as a file sharing user with read write permissions Really silly move
    I have performed a repair of disk permissions however still hung.
    Whats worse is that my time machine for the last three days has been disconnecting when backing up leaving a partially complete backup. Backup failed. I also left a apple support community message a few days ago to solve it.
    So its critical
    Timely HELP is needed.

    This same problem happened to me, all the sudden one day my mac decided to revert to the original standard root username and password which I obviously did not know. In order to change this:
    1) Activate single user mode on reboot as by pressing cmd + s as your computer starts up. Make sure you do it right away, and keep the keys pressed down.
    2) Where the cursor pops up, type exactly
    +/sbin/mount - uw/+
    3) When the next cursor pops up type exactly
    passwd
    4) Then you can type any password you want (now changing the root password to be what you want)
    Note you will not be able to see what you type, but the text is being recognized
    5)The computer asks for you to retype the password, retype it
    6) Type reboot
    Once the computer restarts you can navigate to system preferences>accounts> and then unlock the account (lock is located on the bottom left corner) using Username: root and the password you just set. Henceforth, you can appoint your account as the administrator. Hope it works!

  • Icloud storage space for Mac book

    Will I get any extra icloud storage space , when I buy mac book pro. I am already using iPhone and ipad, so my 5GB icloud storage is almost finished. I know creating one more icloud I'd can give 5GB more , but I don't want too much ID and password.

    The 5GB is tied to the account, not the devices using it, so no matter how many devices you have logged into it you still only have 5GB free for the one account. As said, you can purchase more: additional 10GB, $20 p.a., 20 GB, $40 p.a., 50GB $100 p.a.

  • Can you have one icloud storage plan for multiple devices

    hi,
    i'm wondering if there is a way of consolidation various icloud storage plans into one.
    i only use my free 5gb for my 5s as i back up photos to my mac, however my wife has already upgraded her storage plan for her 5c to the £1/month.
    with the new release of backing up your entire photo library on you mac (which im keen to do) im going to need to upgrade my own account as the mac is set up for my apple id.
    i currently also pay for itunes match.
    im keen to know if there is a way we can use one large back up facility for: my 5s, the mrs's 5c, the mac, with out paying for multiple storage plans.
    im guessing the itunes match is stand alone but if i can have one payment for large storage and put everything there that would be ideal, and seem a reasonable request for most families.
    any help greatly appreciated
    thanks
    Scott

  • What is iCloud storage used for?

    I am confused as to why I have been asked to upgrade iCloud storage to 500 GB. I am not clear as to what the storage is used for - is it my email account? My music? Photos? If anyone can help me understand this I will be very appreciative!

    Emails, photos, video from an iOS device could be stored in iCloud. Also documents you create from any apps.
    Who asked you to upgrade to a larger amount?

  • HT201318 I upgraded my iCloud storage capacity for a higher tier and the device does not actually reflects said upgrade. How can this be resolved since my credit card was charged

    I upgraded my Icloud storage capacity to a higher tier and my Iphone does not reflect the change although my credit card was charged and the device is nor properly backup. How can this be resolved?

    It seems to take up to a couple of days for the upgrade to take hold, at least that's the experience of some users.  Give it 24 hours before contacting apple.

  • ICloud storage refund for iTunes gift card.

    Hello, my payment method for my Apple ID is gif cards, i had the 20$/year subscription to give me total of 15GB of storage and i recently upgraded to the 40$/year by mistake and i downgraded the plan to the 20$/year again but it said it will take effect on the yearly anniversary of the first subscription purchase! Now i need to have a refund, i want my money back and i have no idea how! Can somebody help me please, i am out of the USA and i cant contact them at all.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I don't believe that you can purchase additional storage with gift cards. Additional storage will be an annual subscription, Apple will need to know how you are going to pay next year and every year after that.

  • I want to delete my iCloud account as I have created new Apple id. But it is not allowing me to delete the previous account as it in no longer in use. I m using IOS 8.2. My new Apple id and alternate email address is verified. Plz help I m stuck.

    how can I delete my previous iCloud email address. It is no longer in use. I have created new Apple id. And it is verified but I cannot merge it with iCloud Since it is asking me to type password.

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How to set permissions for files created by Windows on OS 10.8 volume

    I am in process of upgrading from an iMac with OS 10.6 to an iMac with OS 10.8.  In my office network, I store all files on my iMac and let the Windows PCs act as workstations to read/write onto the Mac.  (It's simpler to have all files centralized in one location, and only have to be concerned about backing up one volume.)
    When I had OS 10.4 and OS 10.6 any newly created file saved by the Windows PCs onto the Mac could be opened by the Mac.
    But with OS 10.8, I can not open newly created files from Windows.  The file permissions for the newly created files from the Windows PCs are: 
         PCUser = read/write;  Everyone = no access.
    What do I need to do so that newly created files from the Windows PC (currently Windows 7) can be opened by the Mac, without having to use Get Info to reset the permissions each time?

    You could try adding this Access Control Entry (ACE) to the folders you let them save to:
    sudo chmod -R +a "accountinggroup allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Path/to/topmost/folder
    You first need to create a group for all the sharing people you want to have access to that folder, if you don't already have one. In the example, "accountinggroup" is the group, so change that to whatever you want to use.
    The ACE allows them full access to the files in the folders. If you want to limit that, remove the option (such as delete).
    You create Groups in Users & Groups System Preference just like creating a new user. Just change the account type to Group.
    If you want a GUI to do the settings, try Sandbox.  It's got a few glitches in the Interface, but it seems to write the ACL correctly. One glitch is selecting the Group or User. I had just a list of Continuing in the popup menu. I typed in the Group name I wanted and it worked. Some errors pop up as you traverse the file hierarchy, but you can dismiss them.
    Here is an old hint, which gives a little background, and some other options: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090219133314985
    The Server tools would allow you to set this up more easily, but if this is all you need as the server, I don't know if it is worth it.
