ICloud disk in Finder.

Hello everyone.
This might sound trivial to some, but let me ask anyhow. Should iCloud "disk" appear in Finder and on the desktop of iMac, similar to the old iDisk and mobileMe disk??
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I do not see the iCloud disk image in the finder and of course not on the desktop of my late 2011 iMac. Everything works well (mail, contacts, documents) and I am signed in to iCloud in "Setting". Is this "normal", or am I misssing something here.
Many thanks.
Yoram

You will need to find a third-party alternative if you want online storage in the manner of the iDisk. This page examines some options:

How do i setup multiple icloud accounts for find my iphone

Have kids i want them to have there own icloud account so they can back up to but i want them to all be on one find my iphone account so i can see all my family from one screen.

To be clear, with iOS6 I DID have this ability. Separate iCloud accounts, but every one of my devices was also hooked up to my iCloud account for finding purposes.
Not through iCloud you did not - that has never been possible. When using iCloud (either the find my iPhone app or online in a web browser) you can ONLY track the devices using the same iCloud account as the one you logged in with. And the new security features in iOS 7 related to iCloud are specifically linked to that iCloud accounts AppleID and password, so allowing sharing would ruin the security model.
You CAN use find my friends to track anyone who is willing to allow you to using their iCloud account name.

I recently signed on with iCloud. I find that the prompts interrupt my workflow and the costs of this feature for someone with 200 gigs of data is not competitive. I want to cancel the mail, contacts, email, etc. without Removing data from my Mac. How?

I recently signed on for iCloud service, but find that it interrupts my workflow too often (which I know I can reset), but will soon exceed my free storage space. I have 200 gigs of data on my local drive and frankly the cost and benefit of having ICloud access to all of it is not competitive. This particular iCloud offering is overpriced for me. I want to cancel all iCloud services but can't seem to find an easy way to do it without removing the data on my local drive, which would be disaster. Need the communities help. Thanks to all.

Tried this, but unfortunately there was no way to cancel it even when disconnected from the NET. I'm on WIFI which I turned off.
I keep getting a pop-up that says:
The same message comes up when you want to cancel or remove any of the other iCloud storage functions including Contacts and Emails. This is obviously a scary thought. Why would APPLE program in this type of message? I'm already at 50% of my FREE storage on iCloud after only 2 weeks. There is no way I'm going to be held hostage by this clearly unacceptable "pay or die" programming lapse when I get to 100%. I know APPLE loves making money. Who doesn't, but this makes no sense to this devoted "Since 1984" Apple fan.

Because we don't. With due respect your question is along the same lines as "Why is the sky blue?"

2 Icloud drive in finder

Can I add a family members Icloud drive to my finder thus having 2 Icloud drives in finder.

No. The only iCloud drive that will show in the Finder is the one associated with the iCloud account for that user account.

Unreliable mounting of Firewire disks and Finder crashing

On both my MacPro3,1 and MacBookPro5,1 running 10.6.2, mounting of Firewire disks is unreliable. Sometimes a partition being mounted does not show up in the Finder (but does appear as mounted to the df command). When that is the case, launching Disk Utility will cause the mounted partition to appear in the Finder. On mounting the disk, the system log always shows these entries:
21/01/2010 14:32:39 diskarbitrationd[14] unable to probe /dev/disk2s1 (status code 0x0000002D).

21/01/2010 14:32:39 diskarbitrationd[14] unable to probe /dev/disk2s3 (status code 0x0000002D).
On dismounting the disk, the system log always shows these entries:
21/01/2010 14:33:13 com.apple.notifyd[13] EV_DELETE failed for file watcher 43

Hi Dr. T,
> There is an OnDemand key in there which looks
like it may be doing something useful.
   I'm afraid that I don't know anything about the contents of those files but yes, an OnDemand key sounds like it might do what you want. Although I'm still fuzzy on this point, I gather that what you want is for the device file to be created in /dev but for the volume to not be mounted. As long as the device file is created, you can use the path to the device file as an argument to the "mount" command to mount the drive at any time. I assume that one of "the relevant parameters" in the fstab is the path to the device file.
   I don't know how well I understand what goes on "under the hood" here because I don't do this a lot. I was of the impression that if you eject or detach a drive, the device file is deleted from the device tree. However, if you merely unmount the drive, the device file persists and you can easily mount the drive again.
   By the way, it is supposed to be possible to use fstab with only data that persists between boots. You can use drive UUIDs or labels to refer to partitions. You can use the df command to discover the appropriate device files at the moment and then "diskutil info <device>" to get the UUID.

AirDisk - cannot see the USB disk in Finder

Dear all,
I just brought the Airport Extreme Base Station with the purpose to use an external HD shared with all my Macs
The AEBS works quite well, but I’m not able to see the USB disk in the Finder…
In the airport utility I can easily see that AEBS recognize the USB disk, and that that disk is connected, and I’m sure that that disk works well and that is formatted as Mac OS Extended
Even after checking the huge problem affecting this firmware release (mine is 7.2.1) and following all of the suggestion posted by the community (connect, disconnect, restart, pray for an update) I cannot even see the disk in Finder…
I’ve heard of people that cannot mount or access or disconnect… but I cannot really see the disk itself…
Any suggestion?
Thank you very much in advance

Hi!
I got mine working now! As the problem started to seem like an authentication issue (disk was in "connecting" mode for eternity) I started to think that the problem might be actually in MacBook Pro/Leopard end of the system rather than in the Airport Extreme or AirDisk. I tried then to create a new account and "account preferences" application got all stuck - was not possible even to force quit. I then forced the MacBook to shut down with the power button and rebooted. A miracle happened! Now I can see the folders of the AirDisk and can copy there. Next I will test whether I also have the same problem that backup with Leopard to AirDisk is extremely (read prohibitive) slow.
I hope this simple trick helps others as well
I am keenly waiting for the next Leopard update... have to say that being used to great Apple user experience this has been a major disappointment. It seems that Apple is leaving us alone with our problems. They should facilitate somehow these forums and pull together FAQ's as suggested by many.

Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

ICloud can't find my iPhone

I have an iPhone 4 and iCloud hasn't worked for me for my months. Every time I try to login it says that my iPhone is offline, even though it's on and I'm using it. I have Location services on under general settings but not sure if I need to change something else. If anyone has some ideas I would really appreciate it! It's so annoying when I'm trying to find my phone.

This Apple doc might help ya out -> iCloud: Troubleshooting the Find My iPhone app

Was just opening page on Chrome when computer went to white screen and became unresponsive. Did this several weeks ago too. Disk tools find no issues.

While trying to open a link on FB, my computer went to a white screen and become unresponsive. I had to do a hard close. It did reboot and the Disk Aid finds no problems when I ran Verify Disc. This happened 2 weeks ago as well and I had to do a Safe mode reboot. Things seem a little slow when I use internet-Google Chrome (updated). I have a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9.4 I'm not sure what else needs to be done? I'm not supertech savvy.

Hello! Since you don't have the startup disk your best shot is using fsck. Tom
when you re-start, hold down the apple key AND the "S" key You'll start up into a command line interface.. it'll look strange but just hang in there. When it's done booting up, you should see something that looks like this: localhost:/ root# at this point, type in 'fsck -f" please note the space before the dash, and of course, ignore the quote marks, then hit return You computer will no go thru some low level checks on your HD. Most likely you'll get a list of a few files that have problems and this procedure will fix them. This should take about 2 or 3 mins, so don't be in a rush. When the line says "VOLUME WAS MODIFIED", this means that changes were made. At this point you should be back at the same localhost:/ root# prompt. run fsck -f again. Wait for it to finish. if you continue to get the "Volume was modified" message, continue to run fsck -f until you'll get a prompt that says The Volume(your HD) appears to be ok, again with the localhost:/ root# prompt. AT this point, type reboot, hit enter and your computer will start up normally. This is not difficult, but you may want to give it a shot when your feel you have a few moments where you can attempt something new and not stress too much.
