Is there a way to view the content of my iCloud backup on a computer

The back up to iCloud was from an iPhone 4 on IOS 6 (this was the IOS that the phone was on when it did a back up, before it was updated to IOS 7.1.2) , and I can see within iCloud drive that the back up is there, but is there a way to view the content of that back up like the pictures for the most part.

No. The only way to see it is to restore the backup to an iOS device.

Is there a way to see the size of my ICloud backup files, so I can determine which one I want to use?

Is there a way to see the size of my ICloud backup files, so I can determine which one I want to use?

Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage. Your backups are listed at the top, along with their sizes. Note: this will only list your most current backup. You may have your previous two backups available too but you cannot access any size information about them.

Is there a way to download the files form you iCloud backup? Not restore but actually download the files.

Is there a way to retrieve your backup files from iCloud? Wehn you backup locally, you can get to the actual backup files. Is there a way to retrieve these from iCloud? I want to actually examine the individual files.

AFAIK, no, nor is there anyway to view your icloud backup.

HT1766 How can I view the content of an iCloud backup of a previous device? I have two backups showing in iCloud, one for my current device and one for a previous device. I would like to review the content from the prior device and possibly consolidate

I want to review content in a backup from a previous iOS device to decide whether to delete the backup from iCloud. I'm most concerned about keeping photos I took on the previous phone. Ideally, I would consolidate the photos to my current device and have just one backup in iCloud.
My current device is a iPhone 5s running 7.0.6, and my prior device was an iPhone 5. Not sure what version of iOS I was running, but last backup on that phone was march 2013.

You cannot review a backup. You can only restore it to a device. You can see here what is backed up:

Is there a way to view the messages I sent along with files in Adobe Send?

Is there a way to view the messages I sent along with files in Adobe Send?

Too bad...I wish that feature was still there that was in SendNow...I also have to go and get the recipients email each time I send a file instead of Send remembering the email addresses I have sent to in the past.
Are any of the great features of SendNow going to be brought over into Send? Or are they just gone...I am a paying CC user...just curious what's going on at Adobe...Thanks for your very quick response though...I guess my message content is gone.

Is there a way to list the contents of a particular directory?

Hi,
I'm creating the blue-print of a new iPad app and was wondering if there was a way to request the contents of a particular directory (eithre local to the device or a a particular directory on the web) and also get the "type" of each item.
For example if inside a directory "Directory1" and inside that directory I have 4 files and another directory, (file1.gif, file2.txt, file3.mov, file4.mp3, Directory2)
Is there a way to request the contents of Directory1 and the type of files they are?
The ideal thing will be to get a recursive request and get an array of contents of all directories inside a particular directory.
something like:
Directory1[file1a.gif,file1b.txt,file1c.mov,file1d.mp3,[Directory2[file2b.mov,fi le2b.mp3]]]
What I want is to create a navigation for the user based on the resultant strign.
Am I re-inventing the wheel here?
Any direction will be greatly appreciated. I rather adjust blue-print now based on what is possible.
Thanks!

No. Create a playlist that you then sync to your iPod, and choose whatever view you wish of the playlist within iTunes.

Is there a way to view the timecode in iMovie for Mac?

Is there a way to view the timecode in iMovie for Mac? This is such a basic feature needed for editing; I can't believe it wouldn't be available. Am I missing something?

Do the math means you know the timecode at the beginning of each clip and when you mouse over a transition or clip you know the clip length. If you trim the clip you see how much you are trimming. With these numbers you can caulate the cursor position or find the timecode value at any frame in the clip. I am not saying it is an elegant process by any means, but if you really need to, this will work. Obviously it is a grievius situation Apple has left us in regarding timecode.

Is there a way to view the code screen and the design screen in separate windows

Is there a way to view the code screen and the design screen in separate windows instead of connected. I would like to have the code on one monitor and the design on another

You can open the Code Inspector Window to have the code completely separate from the Design/Document window. You can also then move the CI window to a separate monitor if you like.
Window > Code Inspector or F10

Is there a way to compare the contents of a library by comparing itl files or some other files?

Is there a way to compare the contents of a library by comparing itl files or some other files?
I need to compare the contents of my current library to one that existed 2 months ago but ALL I have is the itl file from 2 months ago. Can this be done?

You are correct, many people have noticed over the years that Sound Check does not work as advertised.
A more effective approach is to treat the files with a 3rd party volume normalization program. Although I have not personally used it, many users on this Forum have reported good results from an inexpensive program called iVolume.

HT4890 can i view the content in my icloud?

How can I view the content in my icloud? I would like to delete selected items from my iCloud.

You can view it on the apps on your device (such as by looking at your contacts and calendar), or you can view some of it by going to icloud.com on your computer and signing into your iCloud account.

Is there a way to bind the content of a ListProperty?

Hi,
Is there an existing way to bind the content of a ListProperty? Consider the following:
private final ListProperty<Worker<?>> workers = new SimpleListProperty<>(FXCollections.observableArrayList());
    public ListProperty<Worker<?>> workersProperty() {return workers;}
    public ObservableList<Worker<?>> getWorkers() {return workers.get();}
    public void setWorkers(ObservableList<Worker<?>> workers) {this.workers.set(workers);}
    private final ObservableList<Worker<?>> stateWatchedWorkers = FXCollections.observableArrayList(
            new Callback<Worker<?>, Observable[]>() {
                @Override
                public Observable[] call(final Worker<?> param) {
                    return new Observable[]{
                            param.stateProperty()
What I want to do is bind the content of the stateWatchedWorkers list to workers. If the entire workers list is replaced, I want stateWatchedWorkers to be updated to match the content of the new list. Put another way, I want the stateWatchedWorkers list to be mapped to the current list being held by the workers property.

James_D answered this on StackOverflow. Using Bindings.bindContent(target, listProperty) is all that's needed. It "just works". Here's a code example to show how it works:
import javafx.beans.Observable;
import javafx.beans.binding.Bindings;
import javafx.beans.property.*;
import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
import javafx.collections.ListChangeListener;
import javafx.collections.ObservableList;
import javafx.util.Callback;
public class ListPropertyContentBinding {
/* This is a quick test to see how ListProperty notifies about list changes
* when the entire list is swapped.
* Conclusion: When the backing list is changed, ListProperty will perform
* notification indicating that all items from the original list were
* removed and that all items from the updated (new) list were added.
ObservableList<Person> oldPeople = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
ObservableList<Person> newPeople = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
// A list property that is used to hold and swap the lists.
ListProperty<Person> people = new SimpleListProperty<>(oldPeople);
// A list that includes an extractor. This list will be bound to people and
// is expected to additionally notify whenever the name of a person in the
// list changes.
ObservableList<Person> nameWatchedPeople = FXCollections.observableArrayList(
        new Callback<Person, Observable[]>() {
            @Override
            public Observable[] call(final Person person) {
                return new Observable[]{
                        person.name
public ListPropertyContentBinding() {
    Bindings.bindContent(nameWatchedPeople, people);
    nameWatchedPeople.addListener((ListChangeListener<Person>) change -> {
        while (change.next()) {
            System.out.println("    " + change.toString());
    Person john = new Person("john");
    System.out.println("Adding john to oldPeople. Expect 1 change.");
    oldPeople.add(john);
    System.out.println("Changing john's name to joe. Expect 1 change.");
    john.name.set("joe");
    Person jane = new Person("jane");
    System.out.println("Adding jane to newPeople. Expect 0 changes.");
    newPeople.add(jane);
    System.out.println("Updating people to newPeople. Expect ? changes.");
    people.set(newPeople);
    Person jacob = new Person("jacob");
    System.out.println("Adding jacob to oldPeople. Expect 0 changes.");
    oldPeople.add(jacob);
    System.out.println("Adding jacob to newPeople. Expect 1 change.");
    newPeople.add(jacob);
    System.out.println("Changing jacob's name to jack. Expect 1 change.");
    jacob.name.set("jack");
    System.out.println("Updating people to oldPeople. Expect ? changes.");
    System.out.println(" oldPeople: " + oldPeople.toString());
    System.out.println(" newPeople : " + newPeople.toString());
    people.set(oldPeople);
public static void main(String[] args) {
    new ListPropertyContentBinding();
class Person {
    private final StringProperty name = new SimpleStringProperty();
    public Person(String name) {
        this.name.set(name);
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return name.get();
...and the output from running the above.
Adding john to oldPeople. Expect 1 change.
    { [john] added at 0 }
Changing john's name to joe. Expect 1 change.
    { updated at range [0, 1) }
Adding jane to newPeople. Expect 0 changes.
Updating people to newPeople. Expect ? changes.
    { [joe] removed at 0 }
    { [jane] added at 0 }
Adding jacob to oldPeople. Expect 0 changes.
Adding jacob to newPeople. Expect 1 change.
    { [jacob] added at 1 }
Changing jacob's name to jack. Expect 1 change.
    { updated at range [1, 2) }
Updating people to oldPeople. Expect ? changes.
oldPeople: [joe, jack]
newPeople : [jane, jack]
    { [jane, jack] removed at 0 }
    { [joe, jack] added at 0 }
