ICloud and desktop libraries different sizes / difficulties with full size downloads on iPad

My Photos library shows up as 14,056 photos at 53 GB in iCloud whereas it shows up as 13,952 at 125GB on my iMac (1TB HDD).  I have checked "Use iCloud Photo library" on all my computers and devices's preferences and most of this data has been synched for several weeks.  So why the huge discrepancy in size?
Also, since my iPad mini 3 has 128GB strorage I chose to allow it to download full size versions of my images to store locally ...which it never actually seems to do.  I always get the little white "loading" icon in the bottom right corner of any image I look at letting me know its downloading the full size from the cloud before I can see the full resolution.  Obviously I could not actually store 125 GB library on a 128 GB capacity iPad but since iCloud claims my library is only 53GB and I have 90 something gigs free on the iPad it should work.
I guess I'm confused a to how big my library actually is and where the full sized images are actually being kept.  And ideas for how to solve this dilemma?

Think you wanted your reply to be to pjonesCET1
But, I will give an opinion on your post --
You want to use Microsoft Office because of the robust nature of its elements.    Apples Iwork and prior to that Apple works - is at the level of Microsoft works - an stripped down piece of software that meets the need of many people.    Apple and Microsoft agreed to have a version of Microsoft office that could run on Apple devices. 
The of problems between versions of Maverick and Yosemite may have to to with apple releasing Yosemite before it was fully tested with Microsoft office - or the bug has been there awhile and Yosemite just brought it to the surface.
In general - when new level of software comes out - its not a complete re-write.   Commented out code that was replaced with new code is removed, along with indicators for new code and history of what the problem is are removed - giving clean code.   If the language has new structure, the code may be passed through a converted that, depending on detail reformats code into new statement structure.  
Sometimes bugs are added because a certified programmer just can't read existing code even their own - or just ignore standards and use a new instruction that is incompatible with existing code.
Microsoft does issue patches for existing software - so they may do that for your problem - but some problems can take a while to figure out just where they went wrong.

    No, perfectly normal to have a separate iTunes account for music/app purchases to the one you use for iCloud syncing of contacts, notes, etc.

  • Why can I export (and import)the different sizes that I put in the "Responsive Design View"?

    Hello
    I have troubles when try to import or export the different sizes of the Responsive Design View, I manage at least 13, and it's a little preposterous to add one by one. There are a method that export/import them?
    Thanks

    There is a way to store custom settings for responsive design.
    You can create custom settings in the responsive design mode window.
    You can hold down the Shift key and drag the borders via the (right border, bottom border, bottom right corner) resize icons to get specific dimensions and give the current custom setting a name to add them as a preset.
    This will add the preset to the <b>devtools.responsiveUI.presets</b> pref that you can inspect on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    Those settings are stored in JSON format.
    <pre><nowiki>[{"key":"360x640","width":360,"height":640},{"key":"768x1024","width":768,"height":1024},{"key":"800x600","name":"8x6","width":800,"height":600},{"key":"800x1280","width":800,"height":1280},{"key":"980x1280","width":980,"height":1280},{"key":"1280x600","width":1280,"height":600},{"key":"1920x900","width":1920,"height":900}]</nowiki></pre>
    See this thread for some JavaScript code to add extra sizes:
    *[[/questions/957590]]
    You can paste the existing JSON value of the devtools.responsiveUI.presets pref in the prompt and click OK.
    Extra values can be added by typing its dimensions (<width>x<height> <name>).
    You can paste the resulting JSON value back to the devtools.responsiveUI.presets pref or save it.

  • How do I sign out of icloud and use a different apple id

    I set up an apple id for my wife and I can not figure out how to sign out of Icloud on her new phone, which is currently using my apple id

    Go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign in with the new ID.  This deletes the account from her phone, but not from iCloud.  When you delete the account your will be prompted about whether to keep or delete the iCloud data from the phone.  If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; then choose Merge with iCloud after signing into the new account.

  • Is there a training program for iCloud and how to use it effectively.  I have downloaded the booklet but not sure how I access files, photos saved on iCloud.

    I am trying to understand cloud but have very little information for a non technical person.  Is there any product that I can access that will provide me with step by step details on how to access things stored in Icloud.  I have recenly lost all my data on my external hard drive and thought that I could restore through icloud.

    It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
    You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
    Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet

  • HT204053 my wife and I have different Apple Id's  but use the same Ipad   Doo we both have to subscribe separately to iCloud or can we share purchases?

    How can we get our own purcahes on the one iPad please?

    Hi Shadow,
    The apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that they were purchased under. Your iCloud accounts are also Apple IDs, so although you can sync the apps to your individual device via iTunes, you will be syncing them to the devices, not to iCloud.
    Since you are still purchasing everything under one Apple ID, then I'm presuming that they live in a single iTunes library on your computer or Mac? If that is the case, then you would just want to:
    Hook up a device to the Mac or computer
    Select the device when it shows up under devices
    Once selected, the Device Profile screens display to the right - click on the Apps tab, and select which ones you want on that device.
    Also check all the other profile pages to make sure they are set up to sync the things you want to sync to that device.
    On the info page, you will see that you can sync Contacts & Calendars via iCloud or via iTunes. If you want a single source for contacts & calendars for both of your devices, sync them via iTunes. If you want your own sets of contacts & calendars, sync them via iCloud.
    Do you have iCloud set up on the computer or Mac? If so, which iCloud account are you planning on using?
    Some of the decisions you will want to make will depend on how you have your computer or Mac configured in conjunction with iTunes. One Apple ID, but one or two User Accounts for the computer or Mac? iCloud on the computer or Mac? What do you want to share and to not share?
    Post back with any questions.
    Cheers,

  • TS1559 I have two problems but since they both started at the same time I'm guessing that they are related. My WiFi on/off button is greyed out AND my iCloud Drive (under "Settings") has been "Upgrading" with that spinning download symbol for 2 wks now! N

    I cant be positive but I think this started when my iPhone did an automatic software update. I couldn't get any WiFi connection because when I go to turn it back on the iPhone wont let me and Greys out my WiFi on/off button.
    But also I think something happened to my iCloud connect as well because next to my iCloud Drive under "Settings" it has that spinning symbol that usually denotes waiting for something to finish downloading. But this time it never stopped! Its been spinning saying "iCloud is Upgrading" for 2 weeks now! I have tried the on/off iPhone restart or reset, and I've even put my iPhone into "Recovery Mode" as a last resort. but when iTunes was finished "Restoring" it, nothing had changed; Still Greyed out WiFi button and iCloud is still "Upgrading"! Help please!

    Hi Ichin,
    I am a bit confused with your statement -
    if ((p_select_list is not null) and (p_text_field is not null)) then
    return true;
    elsif ((p_select_list is null) and (p_text_field is null)) then
    return true;
    else
    return false;
    end if;Here this statement -
    if ((p_select_list is not null) and (p_text_field is not null)) then
    return true;returning the result TRUE when both fields are not null
    And this statement -
    elsif ((p_select_list is null) and (p_text_field is null)) then
    return true;returning the result TRUE again when both fields are null. If you see closely basically is not validating becoz it returning true whatever the input is.
    I do not know what you want to use the second statement when you have else statement at the end. It will return false if one or both fields are null unless you want to validate either text field.
    Hope this make sense.

  • Siebel 8.2 Vanilla SRF different from SRF with Full Get and Full Compile

    This has been an issue I've been banging my head on the wall against. Basically, I installed Siebel Public Sector 8.2 in Unix and did so without any problems. I created a Mobile Client, generated and extracted the Database and did a full get using Siebel Tools. I then did a full compile and obtained an SRF file (in my local Windows machine). I compared this SRF file with the existing SRF in the Unix Server and the two files are quite different. The full get + full compile SRF has 519 objects that are modified and new when compared to the server SRF.
    Now, here's the kicker. Remember this is a new installation of Siebel, when I use the Vanilla SRF file in the server, the Contact Income View works. Now when I overwrite this Vanilla SRF with the SRF I get by doing a full get + full compile, Siebel crashes when these runtime events happen. Drilldown to a contact (create one if there's none), go to the Income tab, then go to different screen (say Cases or Home). Siebel crashes and creates an FDR file. When I revert to the Vanilla SRF, everything is fine again.
    My question is, why are the two SRFs different from each other and why does the full get + full compile create a "malfunctioning" SRF?
    Any guidance with this issue will be highly appreciated.
    Bernhard

    The extract database job ran without any problems. Here are my parameters:
    Client Database encryption key: none
    Client Name: <mobile client name>
    Encrypt client Db password: false
    The Mobile client uses the Routing Model: MOBILE CLIENT - EXTRACT ONLY
    I also ran the extract database job using the following parameters:
    Client Database encryption key: none
    Client Name: <mobile client name>
    Encrypt client Db password: false
    Extract all Repositoryt Tables: true
    but it resulted in a failure when I did a full compile.

  • If I delete photos on my Iphone or Ipad, are they also deleted from Icloud and other devices which are synced with Icloud?

    I have a number of photos on my Ipad and/or Iphone, and I have synced them with Icloud (my IMac is also synced with Icloud). I know that I can choose to synch directly with my IMac instead of with Icloud, but I would like to know what happens to the photos if I delete them from my Ipad/Iphone? I want to delete photos and movies to make more room on the devices.
    I have not selected automatic syncing with Icloud for my photos.
    I assume that the photos remain in Icloud until I go to Icloud to delete, but does anyone know how that is supposed to work?
    Thanks

    Remember that you should not store photos on iCloud. It's time and capacity limited. It holds up to 1,000 photos for no more than 30 days. So, import  no. 1001 and the first one is dumped. Leave them untouched and they will be deleted from iCloud after 30 days.
    You can't delete individual photos from iCloud (only reset the whole thing) so trashing from a device will not trash from iCloud.

  • NFS and  LDAP on different servers: Problems with location of home director

    Dear Apple Experts.
    We are using LDAP server for user authentification
    and NFS server for home directories.
    Both are decictaed servers on differnt machines.
    on the NFS server there are directories
    /home/urpi
    for staff's home directories
    and
    /home/students
    for student's home directories
    both are mounted to the Mac minis in
    /Users directory
    so
    /Users/urpi
    contains home directories for staff
    /Users/students
    contains home directories for students
    Authentification works well andpermission are set as needed
    but OS X shows missing home directories for LDAP authentificated users
    and terminal shows missing home directory
    for me it is
    /home/urpi/fodrek
    I was tried to mount NFS to /home, but it is not allowed
    Would I ask if there is any setting to add directories, where home directories are placed,please?
    I look forward hearing form you.
    Yours faithfully
    Peter Fodrek

    So none of these machines are Snow Leopard servers?
    What exactly do you mean when you say you tried to mount the NFS share to home? Can you copy and paste the command and error?
    It sounds as though you don't actually have the NFS shares mounted. Assuming this is so, you might want to investigate how the automount command works so that your MacMinis mount the NFS shares on boot.
    If your NFS/LDAP server is an OS X 10.6 server, set the shares to be automounted as user/group directories. Make sure your LDAP server is providing correct information on the home directory location. If it is local, I think the home directories need to be in /Users. If your mounts are indeed working but you cannot login, you might consider making links from /Users to /home/urpi or /home/students on an account-by-account basis (could be done with a quick shell script).
