ICloud drive disk still full AFTER upgrading to 1TB storage space

Hello,
I just bought the $19.99/month 1TB iCloud storage plan so that I can back up all 800GB of my iMac data to my iCloud Drive. However, when I drag and drop my files over to my iCloud Drive in Finder, it says disk full. Am I doing something wrong? There should definitely be more than enough room. I have also checked to make sure my storage plan was indeed upgraded correctly in iCloud management and there is definitely a full 1TB of available space.
I have even tried backing up my files to my iCloud Drive using Time Machine. My understanding was that with the Yosemite 10.10.2 update, iCloud Drive should now show in Time Machine's preferences as a back up drive option. But after upgrading to 10.10.2, I still do not see it in there as an option.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

So is there no way of not creating the shadow copy on my local machine also?
No, iCloud Drive is meant for the working copies of your documents - to store them on a central location in iCloud and update them on all your devices. The shadow copies are there, to guarantee, that you can access the documents, when you are offline. See: iCloud Drive FAQ
Sounds like using Time Machine to backup a single copy to my iCloud Drive would achieve this right? But as I said in my original post, I'm not seeing iCloud Drive as a back up target disk option in preferences.
Time Machine can backup your iCloud Drive, but it cannot backup to iCloud drive. Perhaps you misunderstood, what the latest Yosemite update meant for Time Machine: (see this link:
About the OS X Yosemite v10.10.2 Update - Apple Support)
Adds the ability to browse iCloud Drive in Time Machine
This means, that you can now restore your iCloud Documents from Time Machine more easily, because you can browse them, but Time Machine cannot store backups on iCloud Drive.

I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite

I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite - iPhone and iPad are updated but both say my iMac isn't (even though it is running Yosemite).
My iMac is OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389), memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and storage capacity is 273.64 free of 999.35 GB.
When i go to System Preferences and click on iCloud. The iCloud Drive section is greyed out and says setting up and a spinning pin wheel. It stays like this the whole time. I have tried restarting the computer. i amanita sure what else to do to make it work. Any suggestion would be great.

I found another way to correct this...
1) Select Message, then go to Preferences,
2) a window will appear with 3 options, General, Accounts, Audio Video, don't be surprised when you see a video of yourself, your camera just turned on.
3) Select Accounts (you may have several here)
4) Select the account that has "iMessage" under the account name. This may likely be your Apple ID ****@me.com
5) Look at what is checked under the "You can be reached for messages at:"
6) Select the one account (or more if you like) and deselect the others
7) Close the window and the problem goes away.
I'm not longer getting my sons iMessages.

External hard drive is still full after deleting files

I everyone, i really need some help with my hard drive. I have the Lacie 500gb firewire hard drive. I am save most of my short films, and other works on it while using final cut. While rendering videos recently , its said that i needed to free up space. When i right click and click on the get info for the hard drive, it told me 493.34gb has been used. I have deleted almost all the huge files i have on there after uploading to my cloud, but its making no difference. Its not freeing up any space. and I'm now at 497gb. Now i have almost totally deleted everything on it, and its still saying i have only about 2.7gb left on it.
I really can't afford to go and get another hard drive right now and just need to free up some space on this hard drive to continue working.
Please tell me what i am doing wrong so i can free up much necessary space on this drive.
I anxiously await your assistance.
thanks a whole lot!!

Dig deep, because it sounds like your best solution is to actually get another External Hard Drive.
I don't normally recommend inexpensive USB portable hard drives for everyday use, but that might be a good solution for old files that you would really rather save than trash to make room.
For example's:

HT4399 Does the Macbook Air Software Reinstall Drive Test still work after upgrades to Mountain Lion?

My hardware test (extended) appears to halt. Is there a problem running this start up disk after installing 10.8 or other firmware updates?

Hard Drive still full after emptying trash

Hi!
I own a Macbook running 10.4.8., 80 GB hard drive. I also just purchased and hooked up a LaCie external hard drive, FA Porsche, USB 2.0, 250 GB.
I am working on making some home movies into DVDs, which is why I purchased the hard drive, so I could store the files on that instead of clogging up my computer. Average file size is about 11 GB.
I filled up my computer hard drive, and then copied the files to the external hard drive once it was connected. I then put the computer files in the trash and emptied the trash. This should have cleared up space on my computer, but nothing has changed, I still have 1 GB of space, but yet the files are gone.
I tried restarting the computer and repairing disk permissions, but this has not worked.
Please Help!

The drive is still full even with the external drive unplugged. Another thing that could be a problem, that I know nothing about, is FileVault. My dad told me to set it up, and neither of us know what it is or what it does. I ran Whatsize, and it appears to me that because I have Filevault running, I have twice as many files. And I tried to turn it off, but it says I don't have enough disk space to turn it off.
Also, I tried to back up my computer onto the external drive, and the software said I didn't have enough space, even though when I click on the drive, it has plenty! I then just put each main folder (i.e. apps, docs, music, etc) in manually, and this worked. I'm so afraid I might miss something before I re-format.
Has anyone had this much trouble with a Lacie drive?

My Macbook is running on OS 10.5.8. However, I forgot my admin password. I would like to find out if I can use OS 10.6 CD to reset the admin password while upgrading OS? Also, will all my files be still present after upgrade??

1. Should be possible to do that; go to the Utilities menu and select 'reset password' before starting the installer. (while booted from the DVD of course)
2. Standard installation of SL only replaces system components; applications, user data and preference settings should not be affected.
3. But you do have a backup just in case, don't you?

ICloud email won't work after upgrade

iCloud email won't work after upgrade to Mountain Lion. Says pop 3 server is timing out. Solutions?

I'm sorry, as I keep saying... in MAIL I get the message that it cannot cannot to server!? Did you read the initial problem at all! I know exactly where mail is, although, the diagram was wonderful.
My problem is TWO FOLD.
The MAIL app doesn't work with iCloud but does work with my POP3 email for my office.
Second problem is the iCloud on Safari doesn't work as I get the error message as the screenshot above.
There is NO reason why the @me.com email shouldn't work through the iCloud site, as you can see, there is a also a Mail icon.

ICloud Drive is still upgrading many hrs after updating to IOS 8 on my 5s. Anyone else having this problem? How do I get it to finish?

How do I get the iCloud Drive upgrade to finish? is there a way to interrupt it?
It's been over 5 hrs since I updated my 5s to IOS8 and the swirly thing is still swirling next to iCloud Drive in my phone's iCloud settings.

Hello purplechemist,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not turning off. I'm not sure if you have tried this, but I recommend first trying to reset your iPhone:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full article here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue persists after the reset, I recommend restoring your iPhone. You can find steps for backing up and restoring your iPhone in the following links:
iOS: How to back up
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Will iCloud mail and calendar sync still work after upgrade to iCloud drive?

on my imac and ipad i was asked to upgrade iCloud to iCloud drive. will my iCloud mail and calendar still work on my iphone 4 with iOS 7 after i choose to upgrade?

Yes. iCloud Drive doesn't effect synced data such as calendars, contacts, notes, etc. It also has nothing to do with iCloud email accounts.

External hard drives won't mount after upgrading to Tiger 10.4.9. Help!

Hi, I've just got the latest iMac. Very excited! I did all the software updates, connected my Western Digital extended hard drive so that I could copy some files over onto my new Mac. It was fine at first. Then when I wanted to open up the external hard drive icon on my desktop again and double clicked on it, everything disappeared from the screen for a few seconds, then reappeared but my external hard drive simply opened the window to my personal hard drive on the Mac. The WD links to my computer via Firewire. I then connected my USB external hard drive stick and it was the same story.
I used Disk Utility to test everything and everything was fine.
I then reinstalled Mac OSX 10.4.8 and plugged in my external hard drives. Everything worked perfectly. After copying over documents and a couple of programs, and downloading a few more programs, I ran my software updates again, upgrading the operating system to Tiger 10.4.9. I attached my external hard drive and it was the same problem all over again.
I the read up the online discussions and also chatted to an Apple dealer, and their advice was to download the Intel Combo and reinstall the operating system. I have just done this and my external hard drives will still not mount properly. Their icons appear on screen but double click them and everything disappears.
Please help. This is really frustrating as I have a backlog of work to do and I seem to be wasting hours on this. Not only that, this is a brand new machine which I rightly expect to work straight away.
I look forward to your response. Thank you in advance.

Hi, try to put your HDD in other Mac and look if appear the same, also you can try to repair permission.

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.
