Icloud not using some of my storage space...

I have 15GB of icloud storage, but no matter what it always says I have 10.1 GB available. Why isn't it using the other 5 GB? What am I missing here? Thanks!

Thanks very much!

Does iCloud drive use up hard drive storage space?

HI,
I want to save hard drive space and use iCloud Drive to store my documents, pictures etc. I have the iCloud drive folder set up in my finder. I have been copying and pasting data in there, but it seems whenever I do; the hard drive storage space decreases.
I thought the entire point of iCloud was to use cloud storage and not offline storage; unless you download it from the cloud to your hard drive. Why am I losing hard drive space?
Any help you can offer or suggestions would be very much appreciated

Hi FlyFalcon,
I am writing to say that I am having the problem you are worried about. I have a 121 GB MacBook with flash storage, and I am running out of room.
This is my work computer so I don't have any personal photos/music/movies stored on here. My iCloud drive has over 100 GB on it and it's driving this computer nuts! I am constantly getting the "your startup disk is full" message. As you can see from the screen shot below, it's saying I have 58.61 GB of photos on this computer, 25.84GB of movies etc...but all these files live on my personal MacBook at home.
I am paying for the $3.99 a month for 200 GB but I didn't get that iCloud would use up my HD space. So as a warning, 128 GB may not be enough for you.

HT4436 We changed the iCloud account on the Mac Book and now we can not use some part of iCloud like Documents, etc on the Mac book to sync to iPad.

Hi,
We changed the iCloud account on the Mac Book and now we can not use some part of iCloud like Documents, etc on the Mac book to sync to iPad.
It says it is not the principal account.

The iPad and the Mac need to be signed into the same account, 2 different accounts won't work

DBCA can not use ASM for database storage due to following reason: Could no

What can be passing in this case... ?
Thanks in advance

Thanks both
Really the problem initially was because of this:
[INS-06006] Passwordless SSH connectivity not set up between the following node(s): [node1, node2]. CVU may reports "PRVF-4007 : User equivalence check failed for user "user"" for same error
and I had to install node1 first and after node2 manually and perhaps for this the product was not well linked.
I resolved the problem establishing the keys with the wizard and after copying the following files from node1 to node2
/home/grid/.ssh -------> /home/grid/.ssh
authorized_keys
known_hosts
This is the procedure if you run the wizard at the node1.
The problem is that the wizard creates the keys incompletely...
Thanks

Is there a way to access iCloud to find out how much storage space I need to install music on iPhone? Genius Bar was not very helpful...

I have several questions I could not get answered yesterday...
Does the number of songs listed on iPhone represent music available on iPhone or in iCloud.
How do find out how much space of music you have in iCloud you need for iPhone to download all music?
Is there a easier way to get the music available in iCloud downloaded to iPhone without separately downloading each album separately?
Last question...if the music is not downloaded...does it get played at all when on wi-fi?

Both. If you have the setting to "show all music" set to ON you will see all music that is available. If the setting is set to OFF you will only see music that is stored locally on the device.

iTunes Match does not use your iCloud storage.

Music can be downloaded by Album, Artist or Playlist. Or you can disable iTM, sync music via USB, then re-enable the iTM service.

Yes.

ICloud photo library and iPhone/iPad storage space

Hi,
I use iCloud photo library beta for some time and it's a great feature for apple product. However, I'm a bit worried about what happend after some time. Now I have 20Gb of storage in iCLoud and 16Gb iPhone 6 and iPad air 2. On both of them is the "optimize iPhone/iPad storage" checked. What will happen after I would put 20Gb of photos to the iCloud and the iPhone and iPad wouldn't have enough storage to handle them (even when the photos are optimize)?
Thanks for any response or a link where it is discussed,
Jakub

Hi jakudo,
"optimize iPad/iPhone storage" means that photos don't have to take any storage capacity of your devices, if you are using your devices storage capacity e.g. for other content like music, apps etc. Your photos will be stored in the cloud and only a some of them are stored locally as long as you have storage space available. The only thing you have to do, is upgrading for more storage as soon as your passing the 20 GB.
With kind regards,
David

HT203082 When can I delete photos from my iPad 3 (IOS 8.1.3) knowing they are safe in iCloud? I want to release storage space.

My iPad 3 is busily uploading all my stuff to iCloud Photo Library Beta. When it is done, is it safe to delete albums from my iPad? I need to release more storage space. And when I want to find my photos in iCloud, how do I do that?

Icloud Photo Library is not an Archive. If you delete photos from your device they will also be deleted from the iCloud Photo library.
Read through the FAQ here: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
if you want to archive your photos use a service like Dropbox.

How can I reach my iCloud notes using a PC with WinXP.?

Last week I was on the road and needed to reach some info I wrote on a Note using my iPhone to my iCloud... I left my iPhone at Home and Only had access to an old internet access PC with Windows XP but was not sure how to reach my iCloud notes... I tried the iCloud site but asking me to setup iCloud on that PC.. The PC had a limited user account so basically I was not able to install anything on it...
Please let me know... :-)

Can you clarify how you intend to setup the AirPort Express?
Obviously, if you plan to connect the AirPort Express to a modem, the Ethernet port on the Express will be utilized for the Internet connection, so no other Ethernet ports will be available.
If this is the case, you will need to look into obtaining a router with 3-4 Ethernet ports to allow both your AirPort Express and computer to connect.

Can iCloud be use for existing photo storage

can icloud be used for storage of all my existing photos as long as i buy the extra storage?

No. iCloud is not a backup and Photo Stream has 1000 photos and 1 month limitation.
You can use Dropbox app for that.

IE not using some CSS or JS files, some of the time..

I'm working with a client trying to solve a problem that just started on a site I built for her. The problem started about three weeks ago.
It's a really simple ASP.NET site: http://nancyjoart.com/ One master page loads a common CSS bundle and JS bundle on all pages, however I used to have then unbundled and only bundled them to try to limit the
problem. It didn't work, but I left the bundles as they do speed the site up.
One machine on her network constantly fails, a surface pro 2, Windows 8.1, IE11, all updates installed. Short story: On four pages, two public and two privately accessed, IE doesn't apply a CSS or run the javascript in the bundle.
Here are the two public pages that fail:
http://nancyjoart.com/default.aspx and
http://nancyjoart.com/gallery.aspx
If the NAV bar at the top has blue links instead of grey/black, the CSS didn't load. If the page has no art and shows the loading GIF, or no images, the JS didn't load.
Now the fun and amazing part: the CSS that doesn't work on these four pages, is successfully used and works on every other page.
The CSS and JS files do actually get requested and downloaded by IE, as evidenced by a Network Monitor trace session and the F12 tools, but don't get applied (CSS) or loaded(JS) on these pages.
Now it gets weirder: I can run the site fine on my Surface RT and my Pro2 from anywhere else without fail. However, if I'm on her wifi - only half the time I can't get the scripts to run or that one CSS to apply. I press CTRL+R and
they work fine when the page reloads, but only half the time. In fact, it took me about a half an hour to experience the failure. Once it happened, my dev machine would exhibit the problem, then it would work, then it would fail.
In terms of the JS - When it fails, the debugger indicates a class isn't found. IE has parsed and downloaded that JS file, and shows the file in the debugger file list dropdown - but doesn't seem to use it.
Even more odd, the request and responses all appear to happen quickly, all have 200 OK/Success results and the request and response headers look completely normal. I've even saved the JS file itself and binary compared it to what I have on the server,
and it matches, so it isn't somehow getting mangled in-transit. Even more odd than this little oddity is that once the files are requested and "fail", even if you switch to a cellular connection, the next page loads, and IE doesn't NOT load
the files correctly either. CTRL+R eventually will get it to work on this new connection type though.
Other things I've tried:
Works on her wifi on: iPhone, Windows Phone 8.1, Windows Phone 8, Windows Phone 7, Blackberry (Bold and Playbook) and her Windows 7 desktop. I've put Firefox on her machine, and it works fine every time. Anything in this list never
fails, ever except ie11 on the surfaces.
Her surface is pretty much OOB in terms of apps. Just Modern apps installed.
My surface pro 2 dev machine is OOB too. used daily for development - Again, site works everywhere but her wifi.
Minifying the CSS or JS doesn't seem to help,
Chkdsk reports nothing,
Windows Defender is the only AV installed,
all Windows updates are installed,
Bundling the css and JS with webgrease didn't help,
I've reset the IE advanced settings, security settings, cleared the cache, tried inPrivate, tried making it trusted, nothing worked.
even reset the wifi router
She reports other websites all work fine. (** caveat: not sure how complicated these sites are, or how frequently she does this...)
Does anyone have any suggestions that they'd try next if they were in my sad shoes?

you are sending back the wrong mime-type + it appears that you are not using response.close after streaming back the image in your asp.net code behind.
Open a new window in IE... copy and paste

in the address bar... the image loads but the document.readyState does not reach loaded. there is no EOF in the response body and it is served as text/html not image/jpg.
ensure Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"... (IE has security settings for mime types) and also that Tracking Protection is turned off for the site (Tools>Tracking protection)

HT4859 If I use icloud on my iphone, does it save it to icloud and give my phone more storage space, or is it just strictly a back up?

I have never used icould on my iphone. I am a but confused on how it works. Is it just a back up source? or when i back up with icloud does it krrp it there and take it from my phone, leaving my phone with more storage? thank you for the help.

It is used for syncing/pushing data to your other devices, and for backing up. It does not add to the physical capacity of your device.

Time Capsule not backing up - Most of storage space used.

I have a a 1TB time Capsule that only has 50.0 GB left. It has worked fine until of late. It now will not back up no matter how small I make the file to backup. It tells me backup disk image could not be mounted. It was giving me another error message until I lowered the file size to backup. Suggestions and also is there a way to delete Time Machine usage space (not other files) from Time Capsule. Guessing that it is not deleting to make room for more. Help.

Sorry to hear that you are having problems. Before you think seriously about erasing the Time Capsule, it would be a good idea to make sure that it will have adequate space to backup your computer(s) and leave plenty of space for incremental backups.
Right click your Hard Drive icon and select Get Info to get the specifics for each of your computers. The general rule of thumb is that your Time Capsule should have enough space to backup both computers and another half of the space will still be available for backups. For example, your two computers have a total of 250Gigs stored, so you would need a minimum of a 500Gig Time Capsule.
If you decide to erase the Time Capsule, open AirPort Utility. Click on Manual Setup, then click on the Disk icon at the top of pane. Then click on Disk just below the icons and you will see an "Erase" option. Allow plenty of time for the process, overnight is a good option.
When you are ready to try backups again, you will need to completely reset Time Machine by selecting your Time Capsule as the disk you want to use and click Use for Backups. You will need to do this for both computers.
Try to use an ethernet cable for the first backup by connecting to one of the LAN ports on the Time Capsule and your computer. Allow plenty of time for this. It might take 1-2 days. Once the backup for the first computer is done, then do the other computer the same way. You can probably use wireless for incremental backups since they will be much smaller and faster.
Post back on your progress.

TS4036 I had to create a new Apple ID because the previous ID was linked to my daughters phone. Apple ID setup was successful but now I need to know how to backup all my information and create a new iCloud ID because we're sharing storage space.

Had to create a new AppleId because the old one that I had was linked to my daughters IPhone account now that was successful I'm having trouble setting up a new iCloud account under my new apple ID due to it not transferring.

If you have both already been syncing data to the same account and now have merged data, you would have to set up a new account with your new ID, migrate a copy of the data to the new account, then eliminate your daughter's data from your account and vice versa.
To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The other phone will not be effected by this.) Next, set up the new iCloud account on this phone using the other Apple ID and turn iCloud syncing for for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account. At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting your daughter's contacts from your account, and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each phone. When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.

Updating to 10.5.1 if iCloud not Used?

I neither need nor want a wireless network, and have decided not to use iCloud. Would there be any point to updating to iTunes 10.5.1? If I did so, are there options during installation not to turn on iCloud or sign up for Match? I am assuming that future updates of iTunes will include the features of 10.5.1 and do not want to be forced to use iCloud or Match. thanks for any info...

iCloud can only be signed up on your computer through the System Preferences on Mac OS X or in Control Panel on Windows Vista or 7.
