IMovie WILL NOT upload to iCloud Drive

For some reason my iMovie App on my Macbook will not upload the videos to the cloud. I make a lot of videos for myself, my friends and for youtube, and i really need them to backup and they won't show up in iCloud Drive. I have checked the iCloud Drive settings and iMovie is checked and I have tried uploading it through the iMovie folder in iCloud website in the iDrive files and it won't work because it says the files must be in a format iMovie can open. I have also tried doing it through the iDrive folders on my Macbook and it still won't work. What is going on? Is my macbook broken, or something?

Looks like this has been solved by yesterdays IOS8 update - thanks!

I have iMovie 09. I just erased my external hard drive, but it is still formatted for the mac. However, iMovie will not recognize the hard drive. It shows the only hard drive available is the computers. How do I get the external hard drive to show up?

In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
If it does contain data...

IMovie will not upload to Vimeo

I use iMovie to upload to YouTube all the time and it has always worked great. I noticed that the new version of iMovie has the ability also to upload to Vimeo. I have a Vimeo account so I chose the upload to Vimeo option and entered in my password, but nothing happened. IMovie didn’t give me either a progress bar or an error message. It just didn’t do anything. I checked my password to make sure it is correct. I do not understand why iMovie will not upload to Vimeo. How do I fix this?

I had the same problem. Looks like iMovie doesn't give any feedback when the login to Vimeo fails.
The most likely problem is that your "vimeo user account name" is *not* your full name (say "Marc-André Lafortune"), but your "shortcut url" (in my case "malafortune"). You can set this in vimeo by using this link: http://vimeo.com/settings/shortcut
This is what you must enter when you setup your account in iMovie. If that is correct and your password is good too, you will see a progress bar after the login is successful (2-3 seconds).
HTH
If anyone from Apple is reading this: iMovie should be fixed by
1) giving feedback when login fails
2) ideally change "user account name" for "shortcut URL" or similar, with a popup like "what is this?"
3) only accept the characters that are accepted by Vimeo for the shortcut URL (letters and numbers, no spaces, etc...)

IPhone 4s Notes Will Not Upload to iCloud?

I have my @me account set up on the iPhone 4s and "Notes" will not upload to the cloud.
I was able to get contacts, calenders, reminders and mail, but Notes is empty?

I think I found the problem. My iPhone Notes has multiple accounts, and I did not know this.
The choice in Notes is;
All Notes
From My Mac
iCloud
The notes on my iPhone are under the "From My Mac" section, the iCloud account has no notes.
How do I transfer the Notes on my iPhone that are in the "From My Mac" section to the iCloud section?

Photos will not upload to iCloud in iPhoto can anyone help?

I am unable to upload photos from my events to my icloud photostream. I have reset the photostream and I still show "uploading X photos" in upper right of iphoto window while in the icloud tab in iphoto. photos will not upload. I am also unable to move pictures into icloud on any of my devices. (iphone 5 & 2nd gen ipad) will appreciate any and all help to cure my photostream problem. Thank you.

Hi,
The set up is quite basic, actually extremely basic. I am just using my mac and an iPad to play notes on and using the installed synths that came with the program.
I have 17 different tracks on this piece of music with some of them using the same noise on multiple tracks to play diffent riffs.
If I try and open a new track with let's say for exame the standard piano. Try to record a part. It plays though the system but will not record even though the timing no is red.
I can send you a screen shot later today if needed. My other optioni think is to copy all of the parts into a new project and start again.
Thanks for your time.

IMovie will not upload my video

I click import and I select the movie but it will not upload. It lets my select it and press import, but nothing happens. I also tried dragging the video into the event, but it doesn't do anything. The sign shows up, but it doesn't do anything.

Me too - iMovie video, uploaded over 6 months ago to My Gallery, accessed via Safari 4.0 on my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, is displayed on the screen with the Apple equivalent of the Microsoft spinning hour-glass (you know, the clockwise tick thing) with a question mark sat in the middle of it all. And the video completely refuses to play. It used to play last year... Oddly, the video next to it plays fine.
I know it's an Apple (Snow) Leopard Safari problem because the video plays fine when I use Firefox on the same MacBook Pro. And it plays fine with Safari on my Windows laptop from work. I have even tried uninstalling Apple Safari (drag and drop to the Trash) and then reinstalling. I've got to the point where I'm thinking of dropping Safari altogether, even if it does have nice MobileMe sync settings...
Come on Apple, what's the craic here?

Video in iMovie theater not uploading to iCloud

i am trying to upload my videos in iMovie theatre so it syncs across my other devices but it keeps stalling when I try to upload to iCloud and it never finishes uploading. My iPad is still on iOS 7 but my iPhone and Mac are on the latest operating System of iOS 8 .0 and Yosemite. Could this be the reason? Any ideas how to fix this?

OK, well that makes things easier because I wasn't sure if there was an issue with iMovie theatre after the iCloud Drive update with devices that won't run it. Since you haven't upgraded to iCloud Drive, I'm sure you shouldn't have an issue uploading from your Mac.
Could you describe exactly what happens, I sometimes see the progress bar complete but not actually disappear, next time I open iMovie the progress bar has disappeared and the movies are available on other devices so obviously they do complete.
The other thing to consider is whether this is project specific. How many projects have you tried and have you tried compiling a real simple and short project to upload for test purposes.
Is your Mac connected to the network with ethernet or wifi.

Pages document will not upload to iCloud? Arrow is shown in upper left of document icon.

I have page documents showing an arrow in the upper left coner of the document icon, but they never have uploaded to iCloud. What am I missing?

If you are able to move the document to your desktop on your Mac, you should do so. Then delete all references to that document in the iCloud on your mobile devices, at iCloud.com and if necessary from system preferences> iCloud> manage.
Once you are sure it has been removed from all locations, try adding it back using a slightly different filename, from your desktop.

HT204053 imported local ICS files will not upload to iCloud

Although I follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4967 (iCloud: Manually Importing data....) there is no way iCloud will reflect the changes on my MacBook after I import each ICS file into the iCloud account. I am running ML. I tried several times both with iCloud calendard sync on and off (in system preferences) with no success.
I am really annoyed at iCloud and the mess it has created with my Mac Calenders and Notes. There is no wat to push from the Mac to the Cloud, rather than the cloud overriding every device??

I found my own answer following two main steps:
1. Follow these instructions for the calendars you want on iCloud from today onwards. Its tedious but it works in the end.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4337?viewlocale=en_US
Article: TS4337 --- iCloud: Advanced Calendar and iCal troubleshooting
2. Follow this tip for any other calendars you want to access but not on iCloud (e.g. archived calendars of old clients, projects, etc.)
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4146260?start=15&tstart=0
essentially only disable the iCloud account from inside Calendars preferences,
and start importing calendars. When you enable again iCloud (from Calendars perefences) you will have both sets (looking as 2 accounts)

Documents are not uploading to iCloud from Pages

All software is up to date. On OSX 10.9.1 I am only having this issue on my MBP. Documents are uploading to iCloud from my phone just fine. I had edited a document and it continues to just say "Waiting" and doesnt upload any changes. I also started a new document and saved it but it will not upload to iCloud, so I can not access it on the phone. I am not sure if this is a glitch from the most current Pages update. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix for this issue?

Unfortunately neither of those options work. Last thing I did was reinstall Pages and it is exactly the same. Unfortunately now it will not appear in the Launchpad and I have to keep it in my dock. Having such a horrible day with this. I do not understand why Apple charges us so much for their hardware and then forces us to use things like iCloud, because they restrict the full benefits of things like Dropbox or Skydrive, when they cant have it working properly. I have read other posts on here with similar issues or even worse off.
I greatly appreciate your help Winston. I think I will have to contact Apple now, I am just hoping it ends up being a simple fix.

Photos not uploading to iCloud Photo Library from Photos beta

I have been trying for a couple of weeks now to upload photos from my Mac to the iCloud Photo Library using the new Photos beta. I have about 2,800 photos and the upload process just stalls with about 2,000 photos left to upload.
I've tried turning the upload on and off and rebuilding the library but nothing works. A couple of times when restarting the upload process I have received this error message:
Referenced files will not upload to iCloud Photo Library
Select referenced files in your library and choose “Consolidate” from the File menu to copy the original files into the library.
So I gather I'm supposed to select a few files and consolidate them, but I have no idea what the "referenced" files are. Might anyone know?
thanks!

We aren't allowed to discuss beta software in this forum according to the hosts. Try the Developers forum.

Files uploaded to iCloud Drive also taking up space on local hard drive

Hello all!
Quick question:
Why are files uploaded to iCloud Drive also taking up space on my hard drive? I want to use my iCloud Drive for cloud based back up of certain files. I do not want these files to sync automatically, but to live in the cloud unless I need them.
When I upload something to iCloud Drive it also appears to be stored locally on my hard drive, as my available disk space is reduced by the size of the file I have uploaded to iCloud Drive.
Thoughts?

In other words, there is no way to have a file live only in the cloud?
No.
Just a short note in addition to Kappy's answer: iCloud is not an additional external storage, it is a common storage for keeping the contents synced across all devices.
What you are moving to iCoud will be copied to all devices that are syncing with iCloud.
See this link: iCloud Drive FAQ
With iCloud Drive, you can safely store all your presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images, and any other kind of document in iCloud. Documents you store in iCloud Drive will be kept up to date across all of your devices, and you can access them from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.
Here's what you can do with iCloud Drive:
Store and access all of your documents in one place from any of your devices
Keep files and folders up to date across all your devices
Create new files and folders from iCloud-enabled apps
Work on the same file across multiple apps

I have added photos to My Photo Stream on my PC (Windows 7). They appear in the Uploads folder instead. They do not upload to iCloud. Am I doing something wrong?

I have added photos to My Photo Stream on my PC (Windows 7). They appear in the Uploads folder instead. They do not upload to iCloud. Am I doing something wrong?

Unfortunately, photo stream on a PC is iffy at best. Many people have problems getting it to work properly, including myself. A work around would be to use an app like PhotoSync on your PC, which can send photos wirelessly to the camera roll on any of your iOS devices on the same wifi network. Once in the camera roll, you iOS device will be added to your photo stream.

Some photos do not upload to iCloud

I took about 100 photos at an event. It was one had a chance to go to on the spur of the moment, and I only had my iPhone (5s, running 8.1.3). Normally for something like this, I would have used a camera, but my phone was all I had.
My phone is set to upload photos to iCloud. But, 36 hrs later, about 20% (18 or 20....I haven't completed the careful comparison yet) of the photos that are on my phone are NOT in my iCloud (as viewed in iPhoto on my Mac; they're not in my PhotoStream on my iPad either so I'm assuming they really aren't in iCloud).
There is no difference, that I can detect, in the photos that did not make it to iCloud (from the ones that did). I transferred a couple to my Mac by Messaging and they have the same characteristics (in "Info") as the ones that came to the Mac automatically.
I tried selecting a couple of photos that did not make it to iCloud on my phone and, with the little sharing icon (up arrow), I selected them for sharing to My Photo Stream. So far (about an hour) they have NOT appeared in my Photostream view in iPhoto on my Mac.
What gives? I definitely have had this occur occasionally before, with a shot or two. Normally I would use my camera for a bunch of photos like this and wouldn't notice the problem. But in trying to bulk transfer slightly over 100 photos to my Mac, I was HOPING that I could count on iCloud photo sharing to do the job for me. Instead, I have a bigger nuisance trying to inventory my camera and make sure I haven't missed manually transferring one or two to my Mac!!
Suggestions appreciated!

Well, during the now 3 day period since the photos were taken, the phone (and camera app) has been closed, powered off, restarted, etc. a number of times. I was outdoors and not connected to wi-fi during the shoot. But my phone went on a charger and connected to wi-fi right after I got home. Since I took over 100 photos at this event, there was a period near the end of the session when my phone battery was low, but some of the photos missing from photo stream are in the first group that I took that day. The phone never "died" or failed to shoot a photo, so the battery was never critically low.
After doing a better count, I took about 120 snaps total. Only about 85 photos seem to have ever entered photo stream, as counted in iPhoto on my Mac. Roughly the same count of missing photos is seem on my iPad which stayed home the whole time and wasn't involved in this except that it shares my Photostream.
Working on the individual photos on my phone, marking them to share in my Photostream STILL does not get them into it!! So, there are some photos that just will not upload it appears. Once into iPhoto on my Mac, I cannot see any consistent difference in the size or technical characteristics of the ones that did not upload as compared to the ones that did.
I have transferred ALL the photos from this session on my phone by usb cable upload to my Mac, so it's NOT a serious issue at this time. However, it greatly upsets me that a major part of my photo set did NOT get uploaded to iCloud for backup purposes. Nor would they have gotten to my Mac where I archive photos if I hadn't taken the time to upload them by cable.
I seriously doubt that my Photostream limit was approached as I haven't used my iPhone camera for anything other than an occasional snap or two per week for months. As I said, I would usually have used a camera for this photo session had I not been caught out with only my phone. But I only took about 120 photos in this session. And the missing 30 or so photos are scattered all through the photo shoot from beginning to end!
So, it's a mystery to me too! About 20% of the photos I took just never ended up getting to Photostream.

HT204150 microsoft outlook contacts are not uploading to icloud? how do I get it to upload?

My Microsoft outlook contacts are not uploading to icloud.. how do I correct this ?

I also have this problem, just from the iPhone 5s which makes my life crazy, too.
The problem of having multiple devices doesn't seem to help, but the odd part is when everything I am doing is correct, it still doesn't sync like it used to do before iCloud, and when we had to USB wire connect the iPhone to the Laptop to make contacts sync.
Might I add that I am not using MAIL on my LAPTOP?
but ?Britty sounds like her issue is easier as gmail sometimes can create duplicates so you are in good if you are not having that problem or nightmare...
IF ANYONE ELSE can PLEASE ADD to this THREAD? I would be thankful
as there seems to be a TRENDING on iPhone 5s not syncing with other devices or backwards.....(I have added contacts to the iPhone 5s and they never get added to the iCloud or the iPad or the Addressbook or CONTACTS on the LAPTOP....
This should be working and I have checked the CONTACTS on the laptop GROUPS , iCloud, vs ALL ON MY MAC
it just isn't syncing and in some cases I am getting a WEB DAV error or CAL error...-1
what is that? iCloud will not sync all contacts?
something is crazy
but I want to remain at 10.8 MOUNTAIN LION and not upgrade to MAVERICKS......or use MAIL on my LAPTOP...just CONTACTS ONLY......
