ICloud on iMac.

How can I retrieve all docs and data from the cloud and turn it off. If I turn off "docs and data" the cloud is automatically saving it tells me I will loose all the docs and data. I DO NOT want to use iCloud and do not want to lose the material stored in it.

In Pages (for instance) choose File > Open, select the iCloud icon on the upper left, and drag the documents where you would like them to be on your Mac.

I tried to launch iCloud on iMac. I Changed my e-mail address recently, and iMac doesn't seem to know it. Even worse, it doesn't know any password I've used with Apple ID. Can anyone help me?

No, i don't. if i did i would have tried it. do you have to sign up an appled ID for iCloud? If the answer is yes then they should mention that in the set-up instructions.

I have no idea whether there is a causal relationship but since moving to Lion and iCloud, my iMac has become so unresponsive that I wind up having to crash and restart most of the time. This is true regardless of the app I am using at the time.
The specs of this iMac are:
iMac 27 inch, late 2009 model with a 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gig 1067 Mhz DDR3, using OSX Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
I have Mackeeper installed and according to the scans I have run, everything is fine. No virus, no junk files . . . no problems at all . . .
Except that for all practical purposes, my computer isn't working.
I am nearly totally deaf and live in an isolated, rural area of NW Missouri and this computer is what I mainly rely on to contact friends, relatives and business associtates!
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.

How to install and use icloud in imac windows 7 based

How to install and use icloud in imac windows 7 based

Have you carefully read iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud & iCloud on a Mac?, What do I need? If you are trying to run on Windows 7 on your iMac and ignoring OS X well you're pretty much on your own. You would need to look for supports on Windows forums. If you happen to use BootCamp there is a Bootcamp forum that you can post on for BootCamp and Windows assistance.

Can I use icloud on imac with snow leopard OS10.6.8

Err Can I use icloud with iMac OS snow leopard 10.6.8 ?

This page explains what you can do on Snow Leopard with an existing iCloud account.
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
You cannot create an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
In addition to SoHo Organizer, Fruux syncs Calendars, Tasks and Contacts between a wide variety of devices (not using the iCloud server) including Snow Leopard and above, Windows Outlook and Thunderbird, Linux Thunderbird, and iOS and Android devices - see their compatibility chart(click the blue 'i' for a caveat about Snow Leopard). It's free for one user, two shares, two devices; above that pricing starts at $20 per month. I haven't tried this.

Can't open pages doc from iCloud on iMac

I have been using pages v5.2.2 on my iMac (OS X 10.9.5). I have saved several files on in the iCloud location, so far no problem. I opened pages to access a critical file, clicked on the iCloud button, saw my file, clicked it and got the "The file "xxxxxxx.pages couldn't be opened." Is there anyway to access this file??!!! Help please!!

One way to download the file to your Mac is through the iCloud website: https://www.icloud.com and click on Pages and find your file. Click the file, it will open in a new tab, and click on the spanner icon, choose "Download a copy" (see spanner icon below)

Changing my Apple ID on my iCloud on iMac too ....

Hi, I've changed my Apple ID on Apples pages, because I needed a new e-mail adress. Unfortunately, my iCloud preferences on my iMac with OSX.8.3 still clings to my old e-mail adress, as does Apple Store, and there seems to be no way to change the Apple ID/e-mail adress. There has to be, right?

Logout of the old account in everything, then log in with the new address.

HT204053 Can you have two Apple id's on the iCloud for iMac?

Is it possible to have two seperate Aplle ID's on the iCloud app for the iMac?

You can add secondary icloud accounts by click the apple >> system preferences, mail contacts and calendars. The secondary account can't do everything that the primary one can, but maybe it'll suit your purpose.
John's solution of separate user accounts is ideal, though, of course.

ICloud on iMac - asked to enter password every time I login

I share an iMac (intel) with my wife. We have separate accounts on the iMac each without a password. My account works just fine with iCloud and my AppleID is linked to my user account on the iMac. However, whenever my wife logs in, she is asked every time to 'finish her iCloud setup and to log in to iCloud using her Apple ID'. She is then asked to use 'Find my iMac' and no matter whether she says yes or no, it goes through the process that you normally get when you login for the first time with a new account 'Setting up your Mac', etc, etc.
I figure there is something wrong with her Apple ID, since if I go to iCloud in System Preferences, I am asked to enter her password to verify her AppleID. When I enter her password, it does not say if it's wrong or right, it just accepts it, but leaves the same screen for you to do this over and over again.
If I then sign her out of iCloud, when I try to sign her back into iCloud, it says 'You can't sign in at this time, try signing in again'. no matter how many times I try, or for how long I leave it, I can't sign back into iCloud.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Kevin

Go into the settings, app store and have it require your password immediately
you can also enable restrictions and turn off the installation of new apps so that someone has to enter the restrictions code to install anything

Can no longer save documents to iCloud from iMac or MBA

I have been using iCloud to work on documents from my MBA and iMac. All was working fine but now if I save, for example, a Keynote presentation to iCloud from my MBA, it appears in the mobile docements folder on the MBA but when I go to my iMac and look in the Mobile documents folder it does not appear. Have there been soe changes to iCloud as it was all working perfectly before. I am using Lion.

Have you updated to 10.7.3, syncing between the mobile documents folder doesn't seem to be working in this update.

How to get Icloud with Imac OS X 10.5.8

Hi
I have an Imac 7,1 with Memory 1GB, Intel cuore 2 Duo and 40GB free in the disc.
I leave in Spain and would like to know how to upgrade to be able to use Icloud on my Ipad and Iphone...
And if I get an extra memory of 1GB, will my Mac go faster? how many more memory I can put, I have seen on youtube is easy to do.
thank you for your replies.

The Mac does a good job of keeping itself in good shape. Things to avoid are any apps that claim to make your Mac run faster and many on here would advise against installing anti-virus software as it can be a resource hog and some AVs can cause problems (based on reports on here) plus there are no viruses affecting OS X.
To check how much your particular Mac can take the macsales.com website I referenced above as a great RAM chooser:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac Locate your model and it should be simple from there.
There is a free/donationware app that some recommend as being safe to use and handy at helping maintain your Mac. I use it ocasionally, not because the Mac necessarily needs it, but it makes me feel better . Make sure you download the correct version for your OS:

How do I open pdf files stored in iCloud from iMac preview app on my iPad

I save a PDF file to iCloud using Preview on my iMac or MacBook Pro. What app opens this on my iPad? Numbers files I open w numbers, pages with pages, but what on the iPad opens Preview app pdf files that are stored in iCloud?

I don't see an icloud connection in ibooks, so how do I get a pdf file from icloud into ibooks

Two of my 7 calendars aren't syncing correctly via icloud from iMac to ipad and iphone. i cant find the problem. Help!

Two calendars in my list of seven are not correctly syncing between my iMac and my ipad & iPhone. Also, the two calendars appear in my iCloud list with alert symbols after the (triangle with exclamation mark) whereas others in list show a "broadcasting" symbol. I don't know how to find out what these alerts are.
I have noticed problems in syncing special recurring events....I.e I am able to set up a 'last Friday of each month" on my iMac, but it doesn't appear on my iPad or iPhone. And I note I can't set up a special recurring event on my iPad or iPhone. What can I do to solve this? Is this a known flaw in iCal?
Mary C

I have no idea if this will help as I sync via iTunes under OSX.6.8 - but there may be a clue somewhere here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4981514
I have to say that, even after doing all that, my problem seems to recur at random with no obvious trigger - and it is even more bizarre because, like you, not all calendars or events are affected. Sometimes, different events within the same calendar are duplicated whereas others aren't!
And just how the iPad seems to pick up events which no longer appear in iCal is beyond me - presumably somewhere in a plist or old cache file but, as I said, no-one has any idea what or where!
No-one has managed to explian why my problem occurs or, indeed, just what is happening, but at least I now know how I can correct it, albeit via tedious series of steps.
I hope that helps?

What software version is needed to use icloud on imac?

I want to use icloud to share info between my imac and the new ipad. I know I need to update my software...I currently have MacOSX 10.5.8 so I'm wondering what version I need to update to in order to use icloud on my imac. I can't update to Mountain Lion directly, if at all, but I know there must be a version in between that will support icloud.

Glad you are asking before jumping. Too many "OMG! Nothing works anymore!" threads.
Start by looking at applications that do not work under Lion: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Make a very good clone of your internal drive (CarbonCopyClone, $40 download) on an external drive.
Got to macsales.com or crucial.com to max the RAM (does not hurt to even for SL). macsales and ifixit.com have instructions to change RAM.
You can always load Lion on an external drive and see how it works (not speed, obviously, as external drives are slower) as far as compatibility with your current software and how much adaptation is required to get fully up to speed with it.

Every entry on contacts is in there twice. How do I eliminate the second entry? This is on iCloud and iMac.

I have an iMac 27", 2.7GB Intel core, 4GHz 1333 MHz DDR3, Software OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
When I open contacts on the iMac or iCloud or iPhone or my Mac Book Pro every entry is in there twice. I have no idea what caused this and I've done no troubleshoooting because I don't want to screw something up.

Thanks again for the help. I managed to muddle my way through and got to the combine duplicate contacts. My error was that I typed in combine duplicate contacts and it never connected. I then clicked on the button below and voila, there is was. Many thanks.
