No. There is no iDisk with iCloud. You can use one of several third-party alternatives like SugarSync, ADrive, or MediaFire.

  • The SSD on my MacBook Air failed and I lost all of my files and information. Will Apple be able to put the music and photos from my iPad onto my computer since the SSD failure was on them?

    Because the failure of the SSD was not in my hands, will Apple help me avoid the inconvenience of restarting on a new computer by using my iPad to get music and pictures back on my computer? It's still under warranty and I feel that Apple should do this for me since I paid $1,500 for a computer that is supposed to be reliable.

    Drop the sass, dude.
    What I'm asking is will they be able to rip the files off my iPad and put them on my computer instead of leaving me in an unfortunate situation which wouldn't have occurred in the first place. I understand electronics fail all the time, but will they help me get back on track by taking my iPad's files and ripping them onto my Mac?

  • HT1386 I have sync an ipad with a new computer and the photos have been transfered into files with no extensions. I can view them on the ipad but canot view and delete from the computer.

    I have synced a new computer with the ipad and the photos have been transferred as a file with no exstention. I cannot view them on the computer but can on the ipad.

    Well I forget the exact keys, but believe pressing and holding down CTRL before clicking Restore will allow you to browse and find the backup file (may be wrong).
    In the end, as far as the iPhone thinks, it is a new computer so it will erase and resync stuff and as long as you loaded everything back into iTunes all should sync back. Main issue is other stuff like the data within the apps, notes, etc that are part of the backup which is why you would want to try to restore from the backup. If you don't mind losing data in apps (eg: do you care you have to relog into some apps and start over, don't care about game scores, etc) then you don't have to worry about the backup. If you have important data in some of those apps then you will need to restore from the backup.

  • How should i share file with other devices such as nokia,blackberry and etc using bluetooth

    I want to share  files between other deivce such as nokia but couldnt, could u help me tell how can i share files with other devices???

    @AKRBTN: Thanks for the reply and info.
    That is a solution, but it really isn't viable.
    It is sad that apple refuses to support this.
    A simple example: Sitting somewhere with no signal and you want to share a file (photo) with your colleague or friend, who happens to be right next to you.
    Or even if there is signal and you don't want to be paying fees or data charges.
    Or you may be in a rehearsal studio and need to share that very important file and have no time to go outside and get signal and try to send the file, which then everyone else has to go outside and catch the signal and pay fees.
    Anyway, I see that this is a dead end with apple, so I guess I will be back to carrying 2 phones around again.
    Peace,

  • I am having a problem moving files from a iMac  in location mac in another location.  I have tried using Dropbox and the Public folder in the i disc.  When I drag the files into dropbox they become alias' and I can't open them at the other end beca

    I am having a problem moving files from an imac in one location to an imac inanother location.  I have tried using Dropbox which is installed in both locations but when i drad a file ino yhe app it becomes an alias.  When I get to the other location it says I can't open the file because the " original application that created it is not present".  This is despite the fact that the app that created both files is installed in both computers.  If I use the Public folder in the idisc, when I get to the other location the file isn't there.  Am I forgetting to turn something on or off?  Should I manually sync the Public folder and if so how? Thanks

  • Drop Box folder in the Public folder not showing on the network

    Hi everyone,
    I am running a MacBook Pro 2010 running OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion. We have an office and multiple mac computers connected to our network. For us to transfer files we use the Drop Box folder inside the Public folder (We do not use the dropbox website/service). We would use the finder and click on the computer on the sidebar, open the Drop Box folder and drag files in with no hassel. However my Drop Box folder is not showing up when other users are trying to access my computer via the network.
    My file sharing is on and I have attached an image with the settings I am using. I have compared these settings to other macs in the office that have a working Drop Box folder and they match. Hope you guys can help me.

    Contact Drop Box tech support. 

  • Changing the Public Folder name or owner's name of a MacBook running 10.5

    Hi
    Does anyone know how or if, I can change the name of my Public Folder or alternatively change my MacBook's owner name?
    It seems crazy that after years of releasing software Apple would default a folder name to the full name of the owner with no shortname option and not warn you that the name you use would become a long winded folder name.
    Thanks
    John

    Hi,
    To change the name of your computer just open System Preferences from the Applications folder and click on sharing.
    Click on the lock in the bottom left corner of the window if it is locked. At the top of the window there is a box with the computer name in it, just change this to what you want.
    I would advise against changing the name of the Public folder but if you don't want it to be viewable on the local network click on it and press command + i, under the general tab you can untick the shared folder option. You can then create another folder within your home directory (name it anything you want) and bring up the get info window and select the shared folder option.
    Hope this helps

  • Owner of the public folder is not able to move or remove or create items underneath

    Scenario:
    "ABCD" is the parent folder to which the user A given owner rights using EMC console.
    system admin creates 2 new sub-folders underneath and given user A with "owner" rights. Now the problem is out of 2 sub-folders one works fine(it means "user A" got full rights) and other one does not allow the "user A" to move,
    remove, created items.
    Issue is specific to only one user, any more ideas if you can suggest me to resolve this please?
    this is for Exchange 2010 SP3 environment.

    Hi,
    From your description, this issue affects only one user.
    Please use the Get-PublicFolderClientPermission -Identity "public folder" command to check the permissions.
    If possible, please remove and re-add the public folder permission to check result.
    If you have multiple DCs, please make sure there is no replication issue.
    Besides, please run the get-mailbox  | fl default* cmdlet to check the default public folder mailbox and compare with other normal users.

  • Can I delete the "Public" folder?

    I'm wondering if I can delete the Public folder, or if I should refrain from doing so?
    I've tried to figure out what the purpose of the Public folder is, but I'm not sure if I've understood correctly..
    As far as I can see, it's there for other people to access the files within (which I don't find very comforting in the first place).
    Since I have no use for sharing files with people this way, I figure I have no use for this folder either.
    So, that's my reasoning for wanting to delete this folder.
    Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Where the Public Folder comes in handy is if you want to share files between other users of your Mac. Normally, when you log on, you cannot access other user account's files...except for the Public Folder. If you are the only user, then even though you won't really take advantage of this feature, you really won't gain much from deleting it either.

  • Moving the public folder

    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to move the public folder to external volume or make an external raid volume aceessible over an appletalk network???

    Using sharepoints you can create a public folder anywhere on your mac. You can also setup an external volume as a sharepoint on your network.

  • FILE SHARING for the PUBLIC folder

    How does one use the public folder so that a client can upload file into that folder and ONLY that folder without having access to other folders?
    And how will you know this is working?
    What info (ip address etc) will the client need and how do you determine that info?
    thanks.

    By only permitting the client to login as Guest. If the client does not have an account to log into, then by default they are only provided Guest access which limits them to the Shared folder on the server.

  • I can't get my pictures into the public folder on the iPad 3.  Can anyone walk me through the steps?

    I can't get my pictures into the public folder on the iPad 3.  Can someone walk me through the steps?

    Ok, I'll give it a try.
    Presuming you already have a Dropbox account, and you have the app on your pad.
    Open the app, navigate to public folder.  Touch the upload icon at the bottom.  It will show you everything you have already uploaded.  To upload a new picture, then touch the plus sign at the top right.     You can create one or more subfolders to organize it however you want.
    Hit the plus sign again if needed, and the photo listing will show up.  Find the photos you want and mark them by touching them.  Then touch the blue word upload in the upper right.
    ( the directions assume the pad is in the landscape mode.)
    That's really all there is to it.  As I typed this I opened and uploaded a couple of pics to get the steps right.

  • HT4847 Where is the public folder ??? I need to share some files, but i didn't find this folder

    iCloud does not provide this facility: you will need to find a third-party alternative. This page examines some options:

  • Proxying to Balancer Members - Can't see the public folder?

    I'm following instructions in this tutorial:
    http://developer.apple.com/tools/deployonrailsleopard.html
    I've created four Balancer Members and enabled the reverse proxy, so the requests to port 80 are being balanced to Mongrel processes running on 3000, 3001, 3002, and 3003.
    But a strange thing is happening regarding my "public" folder...
    I have a public folder containing some graphics, stylesheets, javascript file, etc. It is found at:
    /Library/WebServer/substruct/current/public
    When I browse directly to a Mongrel process (ie: "http://localhost:3000), the public folder is found and the pages render fine.
    But when I browse to port 80 (ie: "http://localhost), the public folder is not found and my pages look awful (ie: no stylesheets, graphics, etc).
    When I first set the server up (following the tutorial), the pages rendered fine when I browsed to port 80. Then suddenly this problem started appearing, seemingly out of nowhere:
    Pages look fine when I browser directly to ports 3000/3001/3002/3003, but they look bad when I browse to port 80 and the Mac Web Server does its "reverse proxy" because it looks like the contents of the public folder are not being found.
    Anyone have ideas why this might be? It's 5:30 am. I'm pulling my hair out!

  • Office 2013 applications cannot be made to show the "Documents" folder when opening and saving files

    (Windows Server 2012R2 and Windows 8.1 PRO)
    We are redirecting the user's "Documents" folder to the network (using Folder Redirection). The OS hides this fact however, and most applications simply see the "Documents" folder when opening or saving files, including Office 2003.
    Office 2013 however displays the actual path, which in this case is:
    \\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
    Even if you forcibly set the "Default local file location:"  in the Options Save area to the 'Documents' folder in, say, Word, Word immediately converts the local path to the network path.
    Is there anyway to get Office 2013 to follow the virtual path? All of other apps follow it and expose the users only to "Documents".
    Thank you so much.
    Dana

    There's nothing in my FAQ concerning screen savers, so I'm unsure why you decided to take that approach. From your description, it looks like you only tried a few of the suggestions before throwing in the towel. That's fine, it's your call.
    I don't have the problems you described with 10.4.7. Usually when folks have problems after an update, these are caused by either installing an update on an already-corrutped system or they've installed third-party applications or hardware that have been rendered incompatible by the update.
    Before installing software updates, you may wish to consider the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ. Taking the steps therein before installing an update often helps avert problems and gives you a fallback position in case trouble arises.
    Good luck!
