ICloud drive recently disappeared from MacPro (OS X Yosemite v10.10.2).

On my MacPro - when I click on the iCloud drive in Finder - there are no files anymore. This just happened recently & I haven't updated my OS.
I'm running iTunes match. When I load music into iTunes on MacPro it shows them waiting for the cloud. At the top right side is a cloud with gray lines running through it. When I download a song onto my iPhone - it does copy over to Mac. Entries made in Calendar show up immediately on iPhone.
Also I no longer see an icon where i can even log into iCloud - it used to be on Launchpad I think.
MacBook Pro OS X Yosemite V10.10.2
iPhone 5  8.1.3
Itunes 12.1.0.50
Thanks

Use Software Update (under the Apple menu at the top left of the display) to upgrade using the 10.6.8 "Combo" update. This avoids all of the intermediate upgrades steps.

  • ICloud Drive keeps disappearing from sidebar!

    Hi, every time i launch finder I have to go to the finder preferences and check the iCloud drive box!
    Any ideas why?
    Many thanks

    Hi..
    Might be corrupted Finder preferences.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac then go to Finder > Preferences > Sidebar and select iCloud Drive.

  • My calendar information is accurate in iCloud but has disappeared from my iphone. How do I restore my calendar information back onto my iphone?

    My calendar information is accurate in iCloud but has disappeared from my iphone. How do I restore my calendar information back onto my iphone?

    On your iPhone go to Settings > iCloud.
    Turn Calendars off for over the air syncing. If you are provided a prompt to save any calendar events locally on the iPhone, decline.
    Wait 5 minutes or so followed by turning Calendars back on for over the air syncing.

  • Seagate USB drive always disappearing from desktop

    I have a 2TB Seagate USB 3 drive, which is "backwards compatible" with USB 2.0.
    I put that in quotes because this drive constantly disappears from my desktop. I simply
    unplug the USB cable and plug it back in, and voila, there it is. But it makes me nervous
    (and ticks me off!) that it never 'stays put'. Nervous, because I have been using this drive as my
    Tima Machine drive. I just did a successful restore yesterday, so I know it's working properly, but
    I do have to manually start my backups. I constantly get the message "backup drive not present".
    So scheduled backups are sketchy to say the least. I know what you'll say - get a different drive for
    use with Time Machine.    A good idea I'm sure. But can anyone tell me why this drive won't remain on
    my desktop? Is it a USB 3 issue?
    Thanks

    There are many reports in these forums of problems using Seagate GoFlex drives with Time Machine. I wouldn't trust one, myself.

  • 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.

  • Problems with Pages and Numbers using iCloud Drive on early 2008 MacPro, Yosemite

    One of my computers, an early 2008 MacPro running Yosemite, will NOT save Pages or Numbers documents to iCloud Drive from within those applications.  I see the little iCloud Drive error badge next to the file name in Finder after I try to save.  However, on the SAME computer I can save Pages and Numbers documents to a local drive (e.g., to my Desktop) and then use the Finder to drag the documents to iCloud Drive successfully.  Another computer, a MacBook Pro running Yosemite, has no problems using iCloud Drive to create, edit and then save Pages and Numbers documents stored on iCloud Drive.  I have tried "turning off" iCloud Drive for Pages and Numbers in System Preferences on the Mac Pro and then turning it back on to no effect.  I have also logged out of iCloud Drive on all of my devices (which include two iOS devices) and then logging back in to ensure that I'm using the same login id on all devices, again with no apparent change.
    Any suggestions for my next steps in attempting to solve this issue?  Is there any way to get more information about precisely what type of error is occurring?  Hovering over the badge only shows "Error".
    Thanks in advance.
    Jon

    Found a solution, but it is odd:
    On the 2008 Mac Pro, I UNCHECK the boxes beside Pages and Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Options. Now Pages and Numbers will properly save edited documents to the appropriate folders on iCloud Drive.
    Go figure ...
    Hope that this helps someone else.

  • HT201385 how can I see a folder in iCloud drive with documents from my computer on my other devices?  Seems like it only works with iApps like Pages etc.

    I have iCloud drive set up on all my apple devices and all is current, but I have a older I put in iCloud drive on my laptop.  How can I get to those documents in that folder on my iPhone and iPad? Is there also a way to grant access like in the good old days for someone to drop a file to me in a quasi-public folder in iCloud drive.  We did this years ago in OS7...why not now?

    You're going to find that pretty much every cloud storage system works in a similar way. Some, like OneDrive, will allow you to select what folders sync to and from every machine it's installed on.
    Maybe something like that would fit your needs better.

  • External Hard Drive Suddenly Disappeared From List

    Hi guys. About a week ago, a weird msg started popping up about my external (F:) hard drive, after which nothing inside of it would show up anymore.
    If I clicked on a folder, there'd be nothing in it. Then if I unplugged, and re-plugged, it would all be back like nothing happened. 
    Yesterday, the D: drive disappeared from the population list in My Computer altogether, and no matter what I do it doesn't return. I've only tried plugging into different ports and restarting, but that's all I know how to do. I was going to system restore and
    see if that helped, but this message came up on the screen:
    "Changes made to drive(s) D: after this point cannot be reversed because the drive was either excluded from system restore monitoring, or was turned off or removed"
    I have no idea what to do. Literally everything is on that drive. Any suggestions? And thanks in advance for any help, it'd be appreciated.

    Just tried it on another computer and the drive didn't show up there either. 
    Its a Seagate FreeAgent Desktop harddrive. 
    What can I do?

  • Icloud drive - direct access from an ios device

    Good morning all :-)  Does anyone know if there is some hidden app that allows direct access to iCloud Drive on either an iPad or iPhone?  I know I can open Numbers, Pages, etc and access my iCloud files that pertain to those specific apps, but is there a way to access iCloud Drive so I can see ALL the folders in my iCloud Drive?  I'm talking similar to the way you open the finder in OS X on the desktop and access the iCloud Drive.
    Apple's website in the iCloud section clearly shows an image of an iOS device with iCloud Drive open, showing all the folders in the drive, however I am reading on third-party websites that there is in fact no such app.  Strange that Apple would show this on their own webpage, but not make it available to the users.
    Thanks!

    As far as I understood there is no such an app like "file manager" for the icloud drive. So its impossible to access your files from your iOS8 device..!!! Amazing ah!!! Therefore you CAN'T read .pdf files!!!. ibook doesnt work for that job. Another surprise in the post-Jobs Apple!!
    Apple sometimes hurts much!!

  • ICloud Drive "steals" space from my Mac Mini

    I have the new Mac Mini with 1 TB HD, 200GB in iCloud Drive and an external 2TB HD. Whenever I copy files to iCloud Drive, Finder indicates that the space available on the Mini decreases at the same rate, as if I'm duplicating the files in the Mini itself. For example, I currently have 650GB available in Mini, if I copy 10GB of files (photos, films, documents etc) to iCloud Drive, the free space on the Mini will drop to 640GB. The same thing happens with Google Drive, but that doesn't happen when I copy files to the external HD. Why is that? Am I doing anything wrong? It is a "bug" of Finder or OSX?

    When you add a file to the iCloud Drive on your Mac
    It's moved from it's original location on your hard drive to the iCloud Drive folder on your hard drive which is an invisible folder inside your Home/Library/Mobile Documents folder:
    You still have only one version on your hard drive only it is located in that invisible folder.  Also it is copied into in the online iCloud Drive:
    If you delete the file from the local iCloud Drive  it will be removed on the online drive. 

  • ICloud drive icon missing from iPad

    My iCloud drive icon is missing from my iPad. I can't find a download for it in the App Sotre. Does anyone have any advice for restoring?

    There is no iCloud Drive Icon on the iPhone or iPad. You access iCloud files through the Apps that support them on iCloud, I.e. , Pages, Numbers, etc.

  • When setting iCloud my contacts disappeared from my iPhone

    I sync my iphone 5 with outlook as well as my ipad mini.
    I created an icloud account to be able to use the find my iphone app.
    It asked me what to do with my contacts and I chose merge.
    My contacts have disappeared from my iphone an there are no contacts in icloud.
    My ipad mini has the data since I have not configured icloud in the ipad.
    What do you suggest to get the contacts back to my iphone?
    And what do I need to do to configure icloud on the ipad without deleting the contacts
    Thank you
    ATM

    Thank you for your suggestion. I tried that and when I slid the bar to off , I was asked what I wanted to do with the  icloud synched contacts, leave on the iPad or delete or cancel. I selected leave on the iPad and then the synch symbol came on screen, it stayed that way for over 30  minutes, in that state. I then rebooted the iPad and it came back , I went to the screen and the setting for iCloud contact was back to on. The contacts were still not there. My mail was still not working. I turned mail off and on , I received some email but not all as I compared to my iPhone and I tried to send an email it still did not send. I went back to the settings iCloud and turned contacts off again, I answered leav on iPad again and this time left it like that for an hour and had the same results.

  • ICloud Drive Sync Problems on Mac OS X Yosemite

    Hello all,
    I have been having issues with my iCloud drive for many months with slow syncing and documents being outdated. Typically a restart would solve the problem but it seems that it has gotten worse lately. Especially after purchasing the 20GB plan and starting its use heavily for work and personal.
    The problem seems to be sporadic where the Sync takes several hours to complete. I am not sure what's the best way to identify the progress of the Sync, but I know that some of my files are out of date when I get home after working on them all day in the Office. I have been trying to solve this problem by restarting my laptop or iMac once, twice, and three times until the bars show up and the sync actually starts.  If I don't force the sync by restarting the documents are never updated.
    This morning, it has got really bad and I ended up signing out of my iCloud on my MacBook Pro, restarted, and then logged in again to iCloud drive. Its been hours and only a portion of the documents have been synced, the rest are basically stuck...I am not sure whats the best way to debug this problem and fix it.
    I have gone through the basic debugging steps, so checking that I have the right ID, restarted the Mac, etc are all tried and many times. I need a serious set of steps to debug this problem. I am a fairly accomplished power user and have been using Macs since the late 80s.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi,
    My problem continues with no solution - I narrowed down the issue to the following:
    1) When I open the lid of my MacBook Pro and go to iCloud, the cloud icon with a down arrow appears on all the new files that need to be synced
    2) The files never download or update
    3) Performing 2 or 3 restarts kicks the sync process off
    Interestingly, on my work MacBook Pro and my iMac this issue doesn't exist. So it seems there os something on my MacBook pro that is causing the sync to get stuck.
    Any ideas what to check?

  • External Hard drive has disappeared from fcpx

    Hey guys,
    I know this question comes up a lot so I'm suprised to say I've failed to find any fixes on other threads. Many people having the same issue say that the drive shows up temporarily in the events and project source windows but then disapear, this is not the case for me it just doesn't show up at all. I've put 90% of my fcp projects and events onto one external hard drive which is working fine with everything but fcp, it even recognises it if i want to import from the drive. It has been working fine up until now which is weird as I've not changed anything on it recently, the only thing I've changed is I used a client's drive to do the latest edit, which worked fine!
    Someone must have found a solution to this problem by now, it's causing me a lot of trouble as I've got deadlines to meet and I'm being put out by what seems to be a ridiculous little bug, surely apple would have got onto a fix for this by now?? In the mean time all and any suggestions welcome!

    Have you used it successfully with FCP X before? What content has changed in the drive?
    I am assuming you checked all the usual things, but still it is worth taking a look again:
    1) Is it formatted as Mac OS extended?
    2) Did you add any folder titled something that may be thought of as a camera (folders like "AVCHD", "Private", "DCIM", "Video", ....)
    3) Are the folders called exactly "Final Cut Events" and "Final Cut Projects" and located at the ROOT of the drive?
    It seems like you know all this, but still there may have been something you missed.

  • ICloud calendar has disappeared from Outlook 2007

    Hi folks,
    I've been searching the net and discussions for my particular problem and can't find it and I don't have a lot of time. Here goes.
    I moved from  MobileMe to iCloud a few weeks ago and have my calendar and contacts etc sync with my iPhone, iPad and PC running Windows 7 and Outlook 2007. The setup went like a dream and has been running for some time now without issue, until yesterday. I went to copy and past a duplicate appointment in my Work in iCloud calendar in Outlook, something I've done many times. This time a warning message appeared saying I'm not authorized to do this or something, I didn't really read it and just clicked to get rid of it. Next thing all my appointments in Outlook disappeared.Everything is still on my iOS devices and in the cloud.
    Now, if in Outlook I add an appointment to the iCloud calendar, it lets me fill in details and when I click save there is nothing, BUT the appointments are syncing with the cloud and my other devices.
    If I right click the calendar and copy it to the Outlook default calendar, I get a new calendar in the .PST folder called work and ALL my appointments show up. So the appointments are there, just not showing up locally on the iCloud calendar.
    I've followed instructions in the article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999 but no luck. I've signed into Outlook as an administrator then disabled the iCloud add-in, closed and restarted Outlook and enabled the add-in - no luck. My iCloud calendar is not visible in Outlook but the appointments do seem to be there.
    My contacts and reminders from the cloud are still in Outlook and syncing across all devices including PC.
    Can anyone figure this out?
    Manythanks,
    JB

    I've now solved this myself. I tried repairing iCloud control panel but that didn't work so backed up my contacts and copied thec"invisible" calendar into Outlook's default calendar then backed it up. Then I  uninstalled iCloud control panel and closed iCloud in Outlook, closed it and reinstalled iCloud control panel. It set everything up fresh again and hey presto, the iCloud calendar was visible in Outlook.
    Tidied up a few merge conflicts and I'm back to where I was a few days ago with everything syncing across all devices including PC. The whole job took less than an hour.
