IDisk

iDisk will not launch from the dock. Also, it has a question mark superimposed on it. What does that mean? [This has happened with other dock icons.]
Thank you.

iDisk or iWeb?
This has happened to me when an application has been removed from the system with an upgrade. Have you changed anything recently?

  • Idisk app: delete file from iphone but NOT idisk?

    maybe i'm missing something but how do you delete a downloaded file from just your iphone? when i tap the delete button in the downloaded file window it deletes it from my idisk.

    Jeff Stone1 wrote:
    well that is sort of what i thought. when the app was originally previewed it was stated that you can VIEW your documents stored on your idisk. but the mobileme page on the apple site says that you can DOWNLOAD files to your iphone.
    i just looked and i only see where you can view and share files but i don't see anything about downloading files.
    on a side note why is the icon blue didn't it change from blue to a pink with the change from .mac to mobile me.

  • Domain Splitting and iDisk issues

    First, my apologies if my question has been answered previously. I did search the forums, but didn't find anything promising.
    I have split my large domain.sites file into four separate domain.sites file, following the guidance of folks on this forum. Each domain.sites file contains two sites; a one-page "index" site with links to all my sites and one of my "real" sites. (the index site has a slightly different name in each domain.sites file so I don't ovewrite).
    But now I'm having a dickens of a time keeping all the sites online at the same time. I did some searching in these forums and discovered that I have to do two rounds of "publish all." Since these were existing files, the first time I told one domain file to "publish all," it erased the sites I had deleted from that file. After the second round of publishing, the sites have all come back (except for my biggest one, which I haven't published a second time; I'll do that overnight).
    It looked like I have everything working...until I synced my iDisk. Then one of my sites disappeared again! Plus, some of my sites that I can access on-line don't show up on my iDisk.
    I typically leave my iDisk mounted on my desktop. Do I need to change this if I'm working with multiple domain.sites files?
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Thanks to both of you for your help. I after one last publish last night, I got all my sites on line.
    Syncing my iDisk didn't work as well, though. Somehow I ended up with two copies of my iDisk on my desktop: one with the typical globe icon and another with a generic "drive" icon. The globe one was supposedly the current one, saying it had sinced this morning, but it only had some of my sites on it. (Oddly enough, it had each of the index sites, from all four domain.sites files, but not all the "real" sites from those files) The plain "drive" icon idisk had all the files on it. I couldn't get rid of either of them without restarting. But restarting seemed to set things to rights.
    I've taken Varkgirl's advice and don't have my iDisk on my desktop. I didn't really access it much anyway.
    Would it be of benefit to others for me to spell out the steps I took to split my domains and have a site index always show up as the site for the short url? I'd adjust it with some of the things I've learned in the process. I know there are good instructions for domain splitting in this forum already, but I don't know that my approach to a sites index with multiple domains has appeared on the forums before.

  • Faulty iDisk downloads to ipod touch

    Has anyone else experienced this problem with idisk and ipod touch?
    I have tried several times via apple care and my apple store to correct a problem of incomplete downloads with the iDisk application to my ipod touch.
    A page of four small jpeg photos will randomly drop one of the four photos when accessed via iDisk on my touch.
    Each touch I have tried suffered the same problem.
    Accessing the file from a computer works correctly.
    Likewise, a page of text downloads incompletely . . . about 1/3 to 1/4 of the bottom of each page is missing when downloaded to an ipod touch.
    I am baffled that the genius's at the Apple store are totally unconcerned with my issue, and that no one at apple care will even listen to a mobile me related issue.
    In theory, idisk would be a great tool for a touch, in practice it seems useless for a touch.
    I'm not just complaining, I'd like my idisk app to function as it should, any advice will be appreciated. It's sad that I have to turn to a public forum to seek an answer, rather than getting support from Apple.
    thanks, bob

  • How do I get rid of the iDisk icon from my desktop?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro 17" with the latest version of Snow Leopard. My local hard drive icon was missing but thankfully I figured out how to get that back. However, I also have the blue iDisk icon on my desktop for which I have no use. How do I get rid of that icon? I trying ejecting it (Command-E) but to no avail.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
    Randy

    The same thing happened to me, and I finally found the answer. I thought I'd post in case others had the same problem:
    Snow Leopard has a new setting under System Preferences > MobileMe within the "iDisk" tab: there's a feature now called "iDisk Sync" that lets you create a virtual "DropBox" from your iDisk if this feature is turned on -- disabling it as a internet only drive.
    If you turn this feature off, however, your iDisk will work as expected and allow you to mount / eject it.
    Hope this helps!

  • My iDisk Storage says it's full on my Site Publishing page and won't let me publish but when I got to my account details page looking to buy more space it says I've only used 3MB out of 20GB. Why are they different? And why did it stop letting me publish?

    I've been publishing just fine for the past few days and all of the sudden, when I click 'Publish Site' now, the 'content rights' pop up shows up. But then it wants me to sign into MobileMe (to which I'm already signed in). When I click 'sign in' it takes me to System Preferences > MobileMe > Account. I click on iDisk and it says "20.4 GB total, 2.7 MB used, 20.4 GB available" 
    (I'm not sure why my GB available is still the same even though I've used 2.7 MB.... it wouldn't really matter though if I was able to publish.)
    I went back to iWeb to my Site Publishing Settings page and at the bottom there's a bar labeled 'iDisk Storage' and it's completely blue (meaning used).
    I also went to my MobileMe account to 'Summary' and under 'Mail and iDisk Storage' it says '3 MB of 20 GB used'.
    I'm assuming that it's not letting me publish because it thinks that I have run out of iDisk storage but I could be wrong. I just renewed my MobileMe account in Feb so I'm all payed up.. that shouldn't be the problem. Do you know of any other reasons why it won't let me publish?
    I feel like something is wacky with my iDisk Storage either way.
    I really hope all of this stuff makes sense. I'm fairly new to Mac and I'm still not sure about all of the lingo.
    Thank you for any advice you can give! Any suggestions will be MUCH appreciated!!

    Try the following:
    close iWeb.
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    reboot.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • I have one paid mobileme account, few days ago I have done transition to iCloud and all my iDisk, contact... gone. Today I tried login to iCloud application on my windows pc but can not, it said "this apple id is valid but is not iCloud account"

    I have one paid mobileme account, few days ago I have done transition to iCloud and all my iDisk, contact... gone. Today I tried login to iCloud application on my windows pc (64bit) but I can not, it said "this apple id is valid but is not iCloud account". I can login on website icloud.com but can not login into iCloud application installed on pc. What's wrong?
    I have tried another free apple ID and logged on. That's funny when I can login with free account and can not login with paid mobileme account!!!!!!

    By the way - the only reason I downloaded iCloud is because Apple deleted the backup option from iTunes.  Since iCloud doesn't work, I guess we have no way to protect our iTunes music collection.  Absolutely stupid.

  • How Do I use TM to find a file on my computers Idisk from today's backup?

    Where do I find the file that is on my Idisk's Time Machine Backup that was on my laptop this morning when TM backed up????? My Idisk had a problem this morning and when I sought help, they had me hit the stop and restart the syncing. The problem is that even though there was a file on my Idisk on my computer from last night, the Idisk syncing reset every file from the mobileme cloud to my laptop and the file on my mobileme cloud was from 2 days ago. Not the updated one from last night. I teach and my attendance is all taken and stored on the Idisk (and synced) from all my classes. Wed & Thursday attendances were on my laptop correctly. (I know because I checked BEFORE they told me to restart the sync button on preferences. My laptop did its normal BU this morning so I am trying to find the excel attendance file on the backup. Can anyone help????????
    I don't know why that happened but it did!!!
    Thanks for any help you can provide.
    Skip

    Dear Thomas,
    I entered TM and found the sparsebundle under the Filesync library. However, it appears NOT to be recoverable and I tried double clicking on it but it doesnt do anything other than show a summary of what it is.
    By the way, I really do appreciate your comments and agree completely. Something strange happened with my syncing of Idisk (which is set to "automatic"). It has been working fine for years. But for some reason, it stopped two days ago and did not let me know. When I tried to put something manually on it (through drag/drop), it never showed up on the Idisk on the cloud which made me notice and check it out by going to Mobileme through the browser. I then went to the tech service for Idisk and they explained that something probably got corrupted so just hit STOP syncing and then hit Automatic again. Which is what I did. Then everything from the cloud went to my Idisk on my computer and for some reason, the latest version of my excel spread sheet for attendance showed two days ago, not last night. so I lost wed/thursday classes. I KNOW it was on my Laptop which is backed up to TM every morning.. Thats why I believe that the latest file IS on my TM backup for this morning. But I can't get to it. Any other help would be appreciated.

  • Cannot seem to write to iDisk to add a javascript file

    I am trying to add a javascript (js file) and a few png files into the folder of my iWeb site page on iDisk but it doesn't stay there. It appears to be copied but when I go back to check, it's not there. I have read and write permission to this unlocked folder. Although I have been using iWeb for awhile and have four working websites, I'm not real familiar with iDisk changes.
    By the way, is this the correct way to add a js file that is referenced by my HTML snippet?
    Help is much appreciated. Thx.
    Julie

    Sorry, but I'm still confused about syncing. Let me back up and find out if what I am trying to do is possible. I am using iWeb '08 version 2.0.3, by the way.
    I want to add an HTML snippet (Insert HTML Snippet) onto one of my website pages. The HTML snippet has a line referring to a script (<script type="text/javascript" src="sorttable/sortabletable.js"></script>). So I need to put the sortabletable.js script somewhere. It is in a folder called sorttable that also includes some png files as background images. I was thinking that I should put the sorttable folder into the folder on iDisk for that particular web page. So first of all, is this possible? Is it possible to add scripts to iDisk that are used in an HTML snippet on an iWeb page? The reason I'm asking is that I asked this question to Customer Support and they said: ..."iWeb does not offer the ability for the user to add custom HTML into the page."
    If this is possible, then I need to make sure I'm doing it right, which brings us to the syncing issue. My options for syncing (under System Preferences for .Mac) are for bookmarks, calendars, contacts, keychains, and mail-related things. I don't see an option to sync iWeb or websites or any other generic iDisk option. Could this be because I'm using Mac OS X version 10.4.11?
    Thanks again, in advance.

  • In editing .js filea, on file does not exist in my iDisk files....

    Task that I was involved in:
    I added two songs to two pages. After adding the second song, the publishing process went badly. A message appeared saying that there was a problem publishing and I should publish all to .Mac. I did so; it went fine. After that I had to edit about 13 .js files (the pages that have songs on them). The process was going smoothly UNTIL:
    One .js file (gotten from the Safari address of that page) was not in my iDisk iWeb files. That file name is: Us%together%20photos.html
    INTERESTING TO NOTE:
    There IS a file that "sounds" like the contextual equivalent and it is named: Chris and Lorna .js But, it is not at all like the other .js files that I have edited out in the past. Nonetheless, I searched that entire file for the items involved in the edits: "height 32, " "loop," "autoplay," and "controller" but did not see them. The entire terrain of that page looked different from all the other .js files; it was not the same.
    I have cleared the cache, deleted past history, clicked to a site outside my website even while knowing that this is not a required action for the issue that I am trying to solve.
    After not finding that page (Us%Together&20Photos.html), I returned to iWeb and made more changes of the page names, so that whereas the Jump-Off page used to say Chris & Lorna, I changed it to say Chris and Lorna without the ampersand. (The "Chris and Lorna" should not be a problem, because the name of the page in the address is Us%Together%20Photos.html and that is what matters when searching for .js files.)
    (Further clarification: There is a page called Chris and Lorna, but it functions as a jump-off page, a portal to two other slideshow pages: One of our wedding, and the other, that page in question which cannot be found in the iDisk. On the page in the text it says Chris and Lorna, but the ADDRESS of the page says Us%Together%20Photos.html.)
    But even in doing so I felt that it was not necessary to make that change, since in the past that wording gave no trouble.
    I AM CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING:
    Make a few significant changes on that page, like shift pictures around, change picture caption wording, etc and then republish that page in the hopes that this republishing will force the production of a new .js file with the name "Us%Together%20Photos.html
    This is an important page in my website and one that I do not want to lose.
    Everything I consider possibly significant has been noted in this post. I would appreciate any insight on this issue..... Thank you.
    Lorna in Southern California

    See Lorna...it's almost second nature to you now,
    editing those js files! I TOLD you you could do it!
    Mark, it's EERIE that you should say this to me today because this is exactly what I have been thinking! I can put a song on a page with one eye shut now, and I can zip around those files pretty well (except for the recent fiasco where I didn't even look at the right folder). I also notice that the level of my writing is sounding more technical and familiar with digital world jargon. I remember how you told me I could do it, and you were right. You all were right and I feel more knowledgeable and at a point where I suspect that I can take steps on my own. HTML is a strange land, but just being able to edit that .js file and FIND it by navigating for it in Text Edit has made me feel much more competent.
    Before iWeb I didn't realize what Text Edit was for. I used it to take quick fast short notes. I never understood that concept of "opening something up in so and so application." The first time I clicked OPEN in Text Edit, and I saw all those danged files staring at me with beady eyes, I wanted to throw a white hanky and run for the hills. Not any more!

  • So, iDisk (great with MobileMe) is closed! Ok. I got the most expensive iCloud Plan and LOVED storing files online. Is that REALLY OVER??!! (besides Numbers', Pages', and Keynote's docs sync).. Will I REALLY have to downgrade to "free" on iCloud?!!

    So, iDisk (great with MobileMe) is closed! Ok. I got the most expensive iCloud Plan and LOVED storing files online. Is that REALLY OVER??!! (besides Numbers', Pages', and Keynote's docs sync).. Will I REALLY have to downgrade to "free" on iCloud and PAY for "DropBox", "Google Drive" or "Microsft's Sky Whatever.."?!!
    I could not log in to this Support Community with my UPDATED Apple ID (and this is another issue I can't believe Apple just says "NO, you CAN'T!" - deleting other (old) Apple IDs we've created by mistake or a long time ago and being able to have it all on ONE SINGLE UPDATED Apple ID - ALSO saving Apple's storage servers, etc.).
    Anyway, my Apple ID for better communication is [email protected] (but I really couldn't log in here - it kept saying that the e-mail is already registered, etc. I know it, I'm trying to use it here, that's all...
    So, really. Of course a lot of people don't care about the iDisk issue. That's fine, we all love and hate specific apps or software.. But why has Apple just shut it down, since it was so EASY to use (as DropBox) on all our Apple devices?!! So, we really can't upload/store any kind of files anymore and that's it?!
    I used iDisk when MobileMe was still alive, and it was great to have my files from work, home, any backup (whatever we want) uploaded and synced and used in our Macs, iPhones and iPads. If we have the OPTION of an iCloud Plan (the top one, for example), but we just don't like the automatick backups for the iPhones and iPads, nor the Pictures' sync function.. Why can't we just have the SAME simple and efficient/great service of the iDisk installed in each device?!
    Do we really have to go back and downgrade back to the free iCloud Option (just for keeping the e-mail) and paying extra for DropBox, Google, Microsoft, any other services?! I have nothing against them - I actually have DropBox and it works great because it REMINDS me of iDisk!! But WHY NOT just keep it simple and closed with 1 company/platform/option - Apple's iOS, OSX, etc.
    That's why I decided to have a Macbook Pro, an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3rd. Generation (for example, along with other products and services such as Apple TV).. I know I'm CHOOSING to stay with 1 world, that's fine. And that's why I didn't (yet) go for a Samsung phone or another tablet.. I wanna stick with 1 pattern and I have chosen Apple's..
    Just can't understand such an innovative company make such decisions (such as shutting down iDisk or not letting us just DELETE Apple IDs we do NOT use anymore).. Please, just some guidance or confirmation if that's correct: No way of uploading files others than Numbers', Pages' or Keynote's!!??
    Thank you very much!!
    Peace.

    Thank you Roger.
    That's exactly what I was afraid of...
    During all the time I have been a loyal customer of Apple's products and services, these have been the only 2 issues that I really can't understand (specially when we look at Apple's strategies and management)...
    1) Not being able to DELETE (simply delete or deactivate) old or duplicated Apple IDs... I have 3 different Apple IDs but only one is the real Apple ID I use for everything, with all my purchases and services (such as e-mail) related to it (Why won't Apple jus let people delet, deactivate or - at least - merge Apple IDs?! That would help everyone, including Apple when we think about costs, storage, database maintenance, etc.) - Actually, even when I gave up on trying to delete other Apple IDs, I tried to have the one I really use and have organized to use my @me.com address as the Apple ID itself (as Apple asks us to do - and makes sense, of course). But never worked. Just because I created that Apple ID with a @hotmail.com account (since it asks for a valid e-mail when you create an Apple ID, it NEVER lets me now change my Apple ID to my @me.com e-mail address - I mean JUST having my @me.com e-mail address as my primary e-mail and my Apple ID (for example, having that old @hotmail.com e-mail address out of it, cleaned..)!
    2) The other issue was this one, about iDisk. Of course there must be reasons for having it shut down, maybe the apps used by iPhone and iPad, along with the folder on Mac OSX, is way too complicated, expensive, full of bugs, I don't know. But if we decide to pay for 50GB of online storage, why even THINK about different options for files we use?! I have Dropbox, I've read about Google Drive and Microsoft SkyDrive, etc. But I just wanted to STICK with a single ALL-APPLE solution.. That is.. Pay the annual fee for the 50GB and just still keep any file I want on the cloud with iDisk. So, what Apple tells me is that if I have other files than iWork or PDF (and some few exceptions), I should actually downgrade to "free" iCloud and decide to PAY for another solution (organization), such as DropBox, Google Disk or Drive (I don't really know), Micrsoft's SkyDrive..
    Of course there's the strategy of getting more and more people to use Pages, Numbers and Keynote (buying them for iOS and Mac OSX, as I already have and love them). But "killing" iDisk and just telling users to look for other storage solutions doesn't really sound like Apple.
    I have seen so many questions here about both issues (deleting or merging Apple IDS + iDisk back since we pay for storage) that I really believe Apple should reconsider these issues or, at least, open the issue and let us know what would be the best "partner solution" for iCloud...
    Thanks a lot!
    All the best...

  • Can't rectify a problem after  trying to delete the Movie folder from iDisk

    A little while ago I deleted the folder named "Movies" from my iDisk. I had never used it so I thought I could just get rid of it. Since then whenever I start the laptop, presumably at the stage it syncs the iDisk, I get the message.. ...There is a problem deleting the folder "Movies" . You do not have permission to delete this folder. You can check your permissions in the Info panel in the Finder.
    Its as if the command to try to delete this folder is undoable but simply won't go away. Its really irritating. I accept I'll have to live with the folder, I just want to get rid of the recurring message.
    I can see now that the Movie folder is one I'm going to have to live with!
    How can I get back to the default folder setup so this message doesn't come up any more.
    By the way, The "permissions" on the iDisk say that I have read / write privileges.
    Many thanks... iain B

  • How can I reopen an index.html saved to iDisk?

    Hi there,
    I created a personal site on a Powerbook laptop in iWeb a year or so ago and published it through my .mac account. It was great and I updated it on a fairly regular basis. Then my existing laptop died of old aged and I replaced it with a new MacBook Pro. I have located the original index.html in the appropriate "Sites" folder under the iDisk icon on my "new" desktop but it won't reopen the files in iWeb. (I'm just dragging and dropping it onto the iWeb icon.) Am I doing something wrong or can a web site created in iWeb only be changed on the Mac that first created it? I'm guessing (and hoping) that this isn't the case but I'm at a loss as to what to do. Please help.
    Regards,
    Ian David

    Ian ~ Welcome to the discussions. A web site created in iWeb can be changed on a Mac other than the one which first created it. But only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
    Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
    Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

  • How do you know when a file is done uploading to idisk?

    Hi,
    I work in film/video and I often put files up on my idisk that others can use or view. Often times my team and I use idisk to share files (pictures, music, program files) so that we can access the material on different computers all around the city.
    However, we can never tell when something has been entirely uploaded to our idisks. One of us will load it up to our idisk, tell the other it's up there, but when that person goes to the idisk, they see the folders, but there is nothing in them. So what we end up doing is checking, and checking, and checking the idisk to see if new files have "popped up" in the last 5 minutes.
    Just so I'm clear, here's what usually happens: I put a folder containing various forms of content on my idisk. It makes the "dong" noise and I see it up there-I click on the folder and all the content is in there. Then the circular clock starts spinning at the bottom of the window and the idisk icon is going through its "syncing" motions. And then I sit and wait for God knows how long because there is no way of telling how long before the files are up on the idisk.
    It's all VERY aggravating and I'm close to closing my idisk accnt and swearing off the whole "mobile me."
    Please, lend me some knowledge because I really like the apple workflows. But this one is seriously putting a damper on everything.

    Perhaps your topic would be better suited for the MobileMe iDisk forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=963
    It's unlikely the MacBook is specific to your problem so you might not get too much help here. I would assume Apple has multiple servers with all the iDisk information spread across the world. It's possible there's a bit of lag while they synchronize. But I don't know that for certain.

  • Why cant i airprint documents from my idisk app on my iphone 4?

    I cant seem to use airprint for documents that are on my idisk. i have an i phone 4 (verizon) and mobile me account with the idisk app installed. i have updated the ios to the most recent update and have a compatible hp printer that works with other airprint enabled apps on my phone (i.e. safari, photos, mail etc....). when a document is opened on my iphone via the idisk app, the option button located at the bottom left of the screen near the share button and delete button is shaded and cannot be accessed like it normally can in the other apps described above. i am not sure why this is.
