Icloud Documents: How do I keep files in folders?

I am very happy about Documents in the Cloud. But I like to keep my documents categoried in folders. I can't figure out how to do it.

Drag one doc onto another (like iOS)

In iCloud preferences when I deselect an item, e.g. documents I get a message saying the info in documents will be taken off my mac and kept in iCloud. I would rather have in on my mac and not in iCloud. How can I keep my data?

Macbook pro, os 9.4.1.

My mistake, my OS is 10.9.4.
Thank you for your reply.
I guess, I really don't understand iCloud and how files are stored and where. I gather when I was asked to set it up I should have declined. Anyway, it looks like some of my files are stored in the cloud. If I shut off "documents" in the preferences it will remove those docs from my macbook, but they will remain in the cloud and I could get access to them for another computer if I set it up.
I also gather to avoid this, I have to, on a file by file basis, save them to my mac and then they will be on my mac. What I don't get, is that these files must exist on my mac because I can edit it without being connected to the internet. Maybe those files I see when disconnected from the internet are on my mac and I wouldn't be able to see cloud files unless I was connected to the internet.
My concern is that when I deselect "documents" in the iCloud preferences it warns me that those documents on my mac will be removed from my mac. I am afraid to deselect "documents' or "calendars" as a result.
If I seem confused, I am. Please don't feel obligated to reply if my message is too muddled.

You can continue to share the same iTunes account ID with your daughter and set up a separate iCloud account with a different ID.
=> is this a different iCloud account for each device? I thought iCloud account ID had to match some iTunes account ID, for which we only have one i Tunes account?
You need to set up a separate iCloud account for each person that does not want to share their iCloud data. If you share an iCloud account with someone, any data you both sync with the shared account is merged, and you end up with each other's data on your device(s). If, for example, you owned two devices and someone else in the family also owned two devices, you would both want your own iCloud accounts, and you would each set up your personal iCloud account on the two devices you own. In other words, you want a separate iCloud account for each person to be used on the devices they own. Each iCloud account has to have a separate Apple ID. The ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes. Many families perfer to share the same iTunes account/ID, but maintain separate iCloud accounts with different IDs to keep there data separated.

=> what ID, iTunes? So I can have a separate iCloud account "only" ID which I also assume must be some [valid] email address? The children currently do not have email accounts anywhere.
Yes, I was referring to the iTunes ID not needing to be the same as the ID used for iCloud. In order to set up an Apple ID your children will need to have a valid email address that can be verified by Apple. Apple requires this so they have a way of contacting the owner if there is a problem with the account, such as when you may need to reset the password on the account. When you set up the ID, Apple will send a verification email to this email account and you will need to click on the verificating link in the email to complete the process. If they don't currently have an email account you can just set one up with gmail or another free email hosting service. They don't have to use the account but you will need it to set up the ID.

How do you compress files and folders?

how do you compress files and folders?

Simply right-click and select "Compress," or navigate in Terminal to the directory containing the file(s) you wish to zip and use the "zip" (no quotes) command. From the terminal you can also use -e to encrypt your archive.

HT201342 Currently I have 'on my mac' mail boxes (in MAIL) and I have folders and mail boxes in iCloud. How do I transport all the folders/mail boxes from 'on my mac' to iCloud?

Currently I have 'on my mac' mail boxes (in MAIL) and I have folders and mail boxes in iCloud. How do I transport all the folders/mail boxes from 'on my mac' to iCloud?

Are the mailboxes you are talking about belonging to other email accounts? You can't get iCloud to receive mail from other email accounts. However if you have 'On My Mac' mailboxes which contain emails you can move these (or their contents) to iCloud easily enough. For each mailbox:
1.Create a new mailbox with the same or a suitable name on iCloud.
2. Open the mailbox you want to move.
3. Hit command-a to select all the messages.
4. Click and drag on any of the messages to move it to the new mailbox in the sidebar.
5. If there are a lot of messages, take the dog for a walk because it's going to take quite a long time as they all have to be uploaded
If you have a very large number of messages don't try to do them all at once.

"Documents" folder is empty, all files and folders disappeared.

Hello there.
I was trying to install a software, and since it couldn't work, I was advised to remove different files.
Since then, seems all my files and folders from "Documents" have all disappeared. They're not in the trash, they're not anywhere.
I'm actually using MacKeeper to try finding them among deleted stuff. But so far, nothing has showed up.
Before anyone asks, I did not change my folder user name. Can't be this.
Thanks for your help. I'm in real ****.
Friendly,
Cyrille.

No I don't have any backups.
The software I am talking about is Parallels Desktop.
I had to remove those files :
rm -rfd /Users/~Cyberpen~/Library/Preferences/com.parallels*"
rm -rfd /Users/~You~/Library/Preferences/Parallels/*"
rm -rfd /Users/~You~/Library/Preferences/Parallels"
sudo m -rfd /private/var/db/Parallels/Stats/*
sudo m -rfd /private/var/db/Parallels/Stats
sudo m -rfd /private/var/db/Parallels
sudo m -rfd /Library/Logs/parallels.log
sudo m -rfd /Library/Preferences/Parallels/*
sudo m -rfd /Library/Preferences/Parallels
sudo m -rfd /private/var/db/Parallels
sudo m -rfd /private/var/.Parallels_swap
sudo m -rfd /private/var/db/receipts/'com.parallels*'
sudo m -rfd /private/tmp/qtsingleapp-*-lockfile
sudo m -rfd /private/tmp/com.apple.installer*/*
sudo m -rfd /private/tmp/com.apple.installer*
sudo m -rfd /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/com.parallels.desktop.plist
I did this manually (didn't work with Terminal) so I had to go deep into the macbook and sometimes change permissions to access those specific files (I was probably not supposed to touch).

How to compress my files and folders, How to compress my files and folders

Good morning,
My name is Jai Bhandari and I am from London, UK.
I am sending this out to everyone that can help me to compress my files and folders, as I believe my macbook pro is starting to freeze and caused by having a slow machine, is there anyone that can suggest to me how and what do I use to compress these files into one folder.
Thank you for reading this and hope to hear from you soon.
Many regards
Jai

You can 'compress' files and folders from the Finder by selecting the items and choosing File>Compress "selected file or folder". This will create a zip archive and will save you some space. (I just tried it on a 16GB folder and it compressed it to an 11GB zip file). After you zip the file/folder the original can be deleted )until you need to access it again, then you can just double-click the zip file).
If you're trying to free up disk space on your hard drive, this is not the best method... but you didn't ask about that...

How to print the files and folders in a finder window?

A long time ago...There used to be a way to print all the files and folders in a finder window. I haven't been able to do so in a very long time. Is it one of those things no one else needed so they eliminated it? If not, can someone tell me how to do it?

Or use the scripts here:
/Library/Scripts/Printing\ Scripts
build the droplet in AppleScript Editor, and drag the folder on to the droplet.

How to recover hidden files and folders from memor...

When you connect your memory card to a PC or connect your phone as a mass storage device to a PC which is infected by a virus, the virus may hide all your files and folders.
The virus also changes their attributes to "hidden" and "read only" and may move all memory card content to another hidden folder, though the size of the disk looks unchanged, files are still invisible.
Steps to recover hidden files and folders:
First, change the settings in "folder options" so that we can see all hidden files and folders,
Open any folder > select organise > folder and search options, select view tab and under hidden files and folders setting, select "show hidden files, folders and drives", and uncheck the option "Hide protected operating system files" and click ok, click yes if a prompt appears for confirmation, now you should be able to see all hidden files and folders.
Second, connect your memory card to PC using a card reader or you can connect your phone as a mass storage device and note down its drive letter. (L) is the drive in my case as shown
1. If you have autorun.info file, you can manually delete it or use tools like autorun eater(or any other you like).
If all the folders are moved inside a hidden folder, select all the items inside that folder, cut them and paste them to root directory of your memory card.
If you select properties of any folder on your memory card, the hidden attribute might be locked as shown:
To solve these issues, type cmd in the start menu, right click on it and click run as administrator.
2. In the command prompt window, type the following:
L: [Press Enter]
Here, I assume L as your drive letter.
3. Type the following code to reset the attributes of all the files and folders to their default:
Attrib *.* -r -h -s /s /d [Press Enter]
After few seconds, all the files and folders will be reset to their normal attributes settings.
Hope you enjoyed reading the post and was helpful.

Check the formatting of the external hard drive. To do that, right click on the drive icon and select Get Info. (Or click once on the drive and type command +i ) The pane includes information about the drive format.
The drive should be formatted as Mac OS Extended. If it is not, run Disk Utility (App;ications / Utilities) and format the drive.

How do I resort files and folders by name in Column View of Finder when Arrange by Name doesn't work?

I was using the arrange by function to select different arrangements of the files and folders in Finder (column view) but now that I want to return to having them arranged by Name, it is not rearranging the files/folders by name. Instead they stay in a totally random, non-alphabetical arrangement. List view sorts without issue by clicking on the column header. It is column view that will not return to arranging by name. Please help me figure out what is wrong.
Thank you!

Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility, reboot the computer in Safe Mode then restart normally and test.

How can I open files in folders on iCloud Drive on my iOS8 device?

Have created folders and moved parts of my documents and pdf files to iCloud Drive on my MAC (Yosemite).
I can see the folders on my iOS device in Manage my iCloud, I can delete the folders and documents but HOW can I open the documents?
On Apples homepage I can see a simliar layout as when I log in to iCloud.com with my folders etc. plus the Apple Pages folders.
But where on my iPad / iPhone do I navigate to find the same?
Tried to login to iCloud.com on Safari on my iPad but it did not show my folders/files on iCloud Drive.

So what is the point of upgrading to iCloud Drive when there is no "Drive" on your iOs 8 device? I also added a new folder through Safari on desktop- as instructed by Apple- and I have no way of accessing it on the iPhone! This seems pretty bogus and a huge waste of time!
And... If Apple was developing an app for the "Drive" why have us upgrade to something you have no way of using?
And... I did try opening files through apps that allow it but I do not see anything.
And... Pages docs do NOT show in the "Drive" on Safari.
WHY?

How Do I Copy File Names & Folders From A Hard Drive To A Word Document?

Hi Gang:
This may sound silly but I am having a herd time with the following - seemingly simple task.
I have data DVD-Rs with audio files organized into folders. Each folder contains audio files related to the folder name.
I would like to copy the file names and folders from a DVD-R and paste them into a MS Word file. I am just looking to get a listing of files as they appear on the DVD-Rs in their folders.
The problem is that when I copy and paste, the order changes (seemingly randomly) and the file names are no longer under the folder names. In fact, the whole thing looks to be really random.
Anybody know how to copy file/folder names from a hard drive or DVD-R to a word document and retain the file/folder structure?
Thanks!
LAHD

There is an even easier method with no Terminal magic required. In the Finder, select all the files you want the names of, press Command-C, switch to Word and press Command-V. Poof, your done.
If you view the DVD in List VIew, you can expand the folders you want the files for, then select all the files (and their folders if you want them too) and then do the Copy/Paste thing.

How do I move files into folders in Pages? I can't seem to drag and drop anymore, except via my web browser in iCloud.

Before the Yosemite update. I'm pretty sure I could just drag and drop documents in and out of folders. Now, I can't seem to do that, though the option still exists if i log into iCloud in my browser or even my iOS device. This seems odd to me. Am I missing something?

Where did you recall doing this?
Essentially all file movement is done in Finder, not Pages.

My iPhone keeps deleting all my contacts. I have all of them in the iTunes backup but after a few seconds I open my phone they are being deleted. I think that's because I deleted all my contacts from iCloud. How can I keep them after I backup?

So how can I backup again on my iPhone and the contacts remain there?

Restore from itunes backup and turn on airplane mode before they gone. Turn off contacts under settings - icloud.
turn off airplane mode. Delete icloud account. Sign back in and merge contacts.
