IMovie and iCloud drive

hello all,
i'm using a 32gb iPad Air and iMovie. Both are up to date. I also have iCloud drive.
My issue is this... When in iMovie I tap iCloud Drive to import video from my iCloud drive the folder opens and I see all my files but without thumbnail images. I tap on the file but nothing happens.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
thanks.

hi there, the solution to your problem is, i guess, to think that your videos have been moved from iCloud to iCloud Drive, as soon as you updated your iPhone to iCloud Drive. Because of this, your videos are temporarily not accessible from your computer, neither from your Apple TV.
What kind of computer do you have? I assume you have a Mac.
You can get access to your videos again from your Mac by updating the operating system to OSX Yosemite, which was just released yesterday.
I have an Apple TV too, and I have no access to iMovie theatre, it says "there is a problem with iCloud or with your internet connection", but i think very soon there will be an update for the Apple TV enabling the user to see the videos in iMovie Theatre again, or, they change something on the server side, with the effect of enabling the Apple TV to see the iMovie Theatre videos again.
I already updated to OSX Yosemite on my Mac, and indeed, there are the videos again in iMovie, on the Theatre tab.
There are time gaps between the release of iCloud drive, and the release of the new iOS for iPhone, followed by the release of OSX Yosemite for Mac. These time gaps cause the problem. The world wide service of IMovie Theatre is temporarily interrupted until all devices that have access to this service have been updated. Not the ideal way to deal with customers, but ok, it leads to nice results in the end.

My wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the photo

my wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the primary photo iCloud account and thus our shared photo system. We are running yosemite OS X 10.10 and iOS 8.0.2... Is there any way to do this?

Anyone having issues sharing a document on Numbers with Yosemite and iCloud drive? I am just getting a connecting to iCloud when I hit share by email but it never does, just keeps spinning

Anyone having issues sharing a document on Numbers with Yosemite and iCloud drive? I am just getting a connecting to iCloud when I hit share by email but it never does, just keeps spinning

Yes, I am having this problem too (although I was sharing via a "copy link" command, not via email). My workaround fix was to log into iCloud.com via Safari and get the share link there.

Old version of Numbers document after updating to iOS 8 and iCloud Drive

After updating my iPhone to iOS 8 and activating iCloud Drive, some of my number documents are now just older versions of what they used to be. Does someone know how to convert these documents to their last version?

IPages and iCloud Drive

Dear Apple,
You have put us between a rock and a hard place. As an iPage user using iCloud I would log in several times a day using both my ipad, work computer, and home personal computer to work on documents. Now I can't access my iPages from the desktop or laptop because it's telling me to upgrade to iCloud Drive. The only problem is, you haven't launched the new OS X Yosemite or iOS 8 which the icloud drive needs to work! Luckily I can still access the docs from my ipad others they would be held hostage until you gave us the new OS which doesn't launch until FALL! So basically, why couldn't you wait to launch icloud Drive until AFTER you launched the new OS? And do you have any solutions for those of us who need to work cross-platform besides completely dumping any use of icloud since it's basically useless now.

Until Yosemite is released iCloud Drive is not going to be fully functional.

Ibooks and icloud drive

Imovie and combo drive woes

Hi all,
I recently made a presentation with imovie and would like to be able to copy it to a cd in order to delete it of my hard drive (as it takes up a lot of space) and be able to view it with a dvd player.
Ok, so, my questions are these: Is there anyway to compress it to make it fit on a cd? Currently, its to big to burn to one. Is there anyway to format it to be able to view in a dvd player since the G4 I have only comes with a combo drive?
THANKS FOR ANY HELP
God Bless

Mireth Technology makes a program called iVCD that will let you create a Video CD of your project.
http://mireth.com/pub/ivme.html
VCDs can be played in any DVD player that will accept a CD-R or CD-RW disk. Note, however, that VCDs are not as high quality as DVDs and can usually only hold about 60 minutes of video.

Yosemite and iCloud Drive Performance Issue

While on my home network that is connected to the Internet over FiOS 50 G bps, I upgraded my Mac Book Pro Retina from Mavericks to Yosemite. The upgrade went smoothly.
I first noticed that when I boot my Mac Book, it boots slower like Windows...
When I took it into my office and used a slow WiFi hot spot, the system crawled. Safari, Google, and other apps barely responded.
During the upgrade, I "blindly" selected to use the iCloud Drive.   Foolish me!   I tried to turn it off, but then it warned me it would delete all documents on my Mac that are also stored on the iCloud.
How do I turn iCloud drive completely off when I don't want to use it and KEEP all my local files???    Later, I'd like to turn it back on when I'm on my faster network and THEN sync everything.
Also, I started turning off specific Apps and rebooted. Performance has improved.
Regards,
Nick

But Is there an option to retain copies of the files that have been stored on iCloud?   I don't want to delete them.   Later, when I connect back to iCloud drive, if I have made any changes on any of these files on my Mac and they are newer than the version up on iCloud drive, it will automatically "sync up".....
Thanks again,
Nick

User file history and icloud drive

Can user file history be set to automatically store info on my icloud drive?

Hi,
Generally speaking, Event ID 102 is related with file read and write permission. You can check it and make sure it can be read correctly.
For more information about Event ID 102, you can take the link below as reference:

IMovie and Firelight drives

I am wanting to do some home video stuff using iMovie 4 and possibly final cut pro 3.0 on a PB 17" / 1.5 ghz / 10.3.9 / 1gb ram.
I need an external drive to store the video data and am wondering if the Firelight drive is suitable for use in video editing.
Thanks in advance for any replies

It's good that you're looking ahead and considering an external drive, as video editing takes alot of disk space, both for editing and storage.
You can use an external hard drive with a firewire connection, which is preferred over a USB-only connection. If you want to maximize the speed, you'll use an external drive which supports the faster FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) port your system has.
You might consider building your own. Sounds daunting, but it's really very easy. The benefit is that you can use a hard drive with a 3 or 5 year warranty, unlike most complete units that only have a 1 year warranty.
It's really as easy as this: Buy the drive you want (I'm currently using a 3.5" Western Digital 320gb drive). Generally I've found the Western Digital drives run cooler than others. Buy the case you want (the oxford chip set works well in my case), take the cover off the case, insert the wide plug from the electronics in the case to the hard drive, insert the power plug in the case to the hard drive, attach 4 screws to hold the hard drive in the case, reinstall the cover, done!
In the US, Newegg at http://www.newegg.com and OWC at http://www.macsales.com both have good selections of hard drives and cases.

Imove and external drive

Hello, i bought external hard disc to make space on my Imac's hard disc (it became too slow),so I want to move about 200gb of pictures, movies, music on external hd. Could I work with this movies, events, pictures...etc through the app's iMovie,iPhoto and similar, like before? I want the events and projects to stay exact like on Imac. My idea is to move data from hd of my Imac to external disc(because of space and speed of my Imac and to save my precious data- my 1. copy of it) then with time capsula throug the time machine make constantlly back up of my external disc, is it possible, or somebody know better solution?Tnx

Hi
In regard to iMovie'08 to 11 there are TWO Extremely Important things to follow.
• External Hard disk MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to be able to handle video ! !
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - will work for most other things - BUT NOT FOR VIDEO !
• Moving iMovie Events and Projects:
NEVER - move or alter any folders named iMovie Events or iMovie Projects - by doing this on DeskTop/Finder iMovie connections breaks and can be from Hard to impossibly to repair.
All moving's of Events and Projects - must be done Within the iMovie Application - Here it's safe and connections will be kept.
(I prefer a FireWire hard disk as USB/USB2 performs badly to me)

IMovie and hard drives shared by airport extreme?

Am I doing something wrong? Both my hard drives shared out by my airport have a warning symbol on them and they are not available to use for importing from my camcorder. Should the drives be formatted a certain way, or is there some setting or something in the airport I need to use?
Thanks in advance...
Corey

Hi
I do not know - BUT I can guess
• AirPort - to slow to work - any set-up
• external hard disks - YES they MUST be formatted in a certain way
MUST be - Mac OS Extended formatted - to work with video !
(UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - Will NOT WORK)
• connection speed
a. e-Sata (internally in eg a Mac Pro) - best to my knowledge
b. FireWire 800 - 400 - best choise for external hard disks
c. /USB2 - performs badly
d. Net-works eg AirPort - to slow to be able to be used for SD-video and far far from HD-video.
Yours Bengt W

My Numbers and Pages files take lot of time to sync with new ios8 and icloud drive. Why??

ICloud taking ages to sync files. Why is that???

Try creating a new document in the app on your IOS device. After I did that, i.e. a new random spreadsheet in numbers, all of my documents downloaded.

2 user accounts using 1 iCloud drive account, different folders and files for each user.

I have two user accounts on my Mac. One for work and one for personal use.
They both share my iCloud and iCloud drive account. My issue is that when I update the files in my work account the changes do not take place when I log into my personal account on my mac.. I find this strange seeing as I am only using one account for both.
This means when I am working and make folders or rename files and folders they only appear when I view iCloud Drive from that user profile. When I try to view iCloud drive from my personal user account or other iOS devices like my phone the old changes remain.
Has anyone any ideas why this is?

Because iCloud drive is not shared between users. Each account has it's own storage. It is NOT shared.
