ICloud Drive not the same in Finder as on iCloud?

I know there have been previous posts about this issue; and I have read some of them ... but have not found the answer. I apologize if this question is redundant; but I would appreciate any help you can offer.
When I look at iCloud Drive on iCloud, I seem to have a complete set of folders; but I do not have all these folders in the Finder. Has anyone found a solution to cause the same folder setup available on iCloud to also appear in Finder? I had high hopes that iCloud Drive would work similarly to DropBox ... but so far, not so good.
(On a sidenote, I also use Path Finder; and I have more folders in the iCloud Drive folder there than in the Finder; but they still don't match those on iCloud. This is rather interesting in itself since Path Finder picks up the sidebar arrangement, etc. directly from Finder as far as I can tell. I even have some strange folders that show up in Path Finder when it picks up the iCloud Drive folder from the Finder that don't show up in either Finder or iCloud online. This is possibly a Path Finder issue OR an issue with Finder reporting to Path Finder ... so my question is not really concerning the Path Finder issues since I feel that if the Finder reported correctly, Path Finder would also. I only mention the Path Finder issues as a sidenote.)
Any comments, solutions, ideas, etc. will be MUCH appreciated. Thanks.

The only folders that show up on the Mac in the Finder are those what have a file in them, i.e. the Pages folder won't show up on the Mac unless you save a Pages file to the iCloud. Pages will have a folder in the online iCloud whether or not there are any files in them.
Check the contents of the folders online and only those containing files will show in the iCloud/Finder window.

Apple ID is not the same as iCloud ID and I need to activate my phone.

So my phone pooed itself and I had to reset it. That did not help and so I had to erase all of my settings. Upon getting to the activation page, it says that my apple ID is not the same as my iCloud ID....although that is the only ID that I have ever used for my phone.
Is there any way that I can remove my phone off of the iCloud and then proceed through activation a different way?
Thank you very much for the help!

No. In order to reactivate your device have to provide the ID and password that were used to activate it originally. If you are not the original owner, you will have to contact the original owner to either get the ID and password, or have him/her erase the device and remove it from their account as explained here: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. If you cannot contact the original owner you will not be able to activate and use your device. No one else can help you with this and there is no way around it.

HT204053 Seems my iCloud password is not the same as my iTunes. Where do I go to reset my iCloud password? I cannot access anything when prompted to put in my iCloud password because I do NOT KNOW it. Thanks!

Seems my iCloud password is not the same as my iTunes. Where do I go to reset my iCloud password? I cannot access anything when prompted to put in my iCloud password because I do NOT know it. Thanks! I've used my iTunes password for everything else Apple does and would like to use the same one for my iCloud.

Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

Fix 'itunes was not properly installed' and missing cd drive at the same time.

Hello,
I have a classic problem here. I have been searching all over internet but I can find any solution that can fix both the problem at the same time.
You might know that to fix the error message 'itunes was not properly installed. bra bra bra... if you want to burn cd' then you have to add some value into windows registry which is 'UpperFilters' with value 'GEARAspiWDM', and that fix the error message problem.
But then... after that my computer can not see the cd-rom drive due to error code 19. I googled it and found the solution that say I have to delete the 'UpperFilters' altogether with 'LowerFilters'. OK! that would fix the cd-rom problem but then I would just go back to the strart! I have to torelate with the itunes error message again!
So... My question is 'How can I fix both problems? I want the error message to go away and also want to use my cd-rom drive at the same time. I have tried a clean uninstall and reinstall itunes solution but it didn't work and I also try instal an up to date GEARAspiWDM driver but it didn't work either.
Please help.

OK - upon backing up and seeing the results, I see that it has backed up both the HDD and the external, so i kind of answered the question myself...

HT204053 Although I have iCloud, my system preferences still show Mobile.me. I have to sign in with my mobile.me ID which is not the same as my Apple ID. I want to change my iCloud ID and password. How do I do it?

Although I can access iCloud, my system preferences on my iMac still show Mobile.me. I have to sign in with my mobile.me ID which is not the same as my Apple ID. I want to change my iCloud ID and password to be consistent with my Apple ID and password. How do I do it?

you need to be running OSX 10.7 or 10.8 to use iCloud i believe. It shows you are using 10.6.8 which doesn't support iCloud.

I don't remember my iCloud username that was used when I set up my Iphone4s. I know my apple ID but that is not the same thing. I need it to activate my phone.

HT4864 How can I change my iCloud email to my AppleID email they are not the same

How can I change my iCloud email to my AppleID email? They are not the same and somehow were switched by my teenage daughter. I can access the account and change anything except my iCloud eMail account.

Hi itsjeffb,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like your daughter may have set up an alias account under iCloud. Your AppleID email address may or may not be the same as you iCloud email address, depending on how it was set up. The following articles provide more information about iCloud email addresses and how aliases work under iCloud:

I'd copied some pictures from a PC to a folder in Finder in my new iMac. The 'Date Created' in iMac is not the same as the 'Date Created' in the PC. Why? Is there a way to fix that?

View Menu -> Sort Photos is a good way to start.
Some organising possibilities in iPhoto:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

I upgraded my macbookpro hard drive to 1 TB then migrated my files from time machine. I'm now locked out of the computer because the password is not the same as my usual one and one that was years old and not retreivable. How do I work around this?

Whether or not you are able to recover the data off the drive yourself will depend on if the drive suffered any impact damage in the crash. You can buy USB SATA or IDE adapters (Intel and almost all G5 use SATA) that will let you connect your hard drive to a computer (like a flash drive) to see if you can recover the data. If the drive has suffered physical damage if may not mount.
If you know someone who has one of these adapters you could try using theirs, otherwise you could buy one but you take the risk of the data on the drive being non recoverable. Regardless, both are much cheaper than $1699!
(Alternatively, if you know of someone with a Mac Pro or PowerMac G5 they may be able to install the drive in their machine and try to boot from or mount it and copy the data off.)
