Keep losing link to iCloud folder

I have lost the link to my iCloud folder for my iWork programs. When I go to open a document all it shows are on On My Mac documents. When I click on the iCloud link it just shows the same On My Mac documents in the window. When I try to save a new document it no longer shows iCloud as an option for location. This happened once before and I reset my data in iCloud and everything went back to normal for a couple days but the problem is back and resetting data no longer fixes the problem.

Are your iWorks applications still enabled in the iCloud preferences?
Check "System Preferences > iCloud" > Documents & Data > Options

  • Keep losing links to image and video files

    Please help! I been working on a big presentation on Tuesday. I have built a presentation that contains many images and videos. Everytime I save the presentation and leave the machine, when I open the presentation again, many of the pages of the presentation are blank with a big question mark on them.
    I just started having this problem on Friday, after many months of building Keynote presentations on my PowerBook with no problem.
    What is happening?

    Keynote 3.01 still has the annoying habit to import some (some!) of the pictures and clips only as a reference to the original, even when working in the mode that should integrate all these files. In my experience this happens most likely when you use drag and drop rather than import for insertion into the Keynote file.
    As long as the original is still anywhere on your hard disk, there is no problem, even if it has been moved or deleted (sent to trash). After you empty the trash, however, the files no longer are displayed in Keynote. You can still see an empty frame for the file and find the file name in the menu with the ruler icon. However, this file no longer exists on the hard disk.
    If you copy the file to another disk or duplicate it on the hard disk itself, the files are properly imported and the problem will not occur.
    In other words, do not drop files into Keynote, import them. To be absolutely safe, duplicate the files and keep only the duplicate.
    Nasty bug but this is a workaround to avoid it.

  • Keeps losing link

    every time computer is restarted router needs to be reinstalled i am using an e2500 router and windows 10 their live chat does not work anyone have answer

    thats what is confusing.  there is nothing to install for the router.  what is the name of the software you are installing? if its the helper programs that came with the router you dont need them.  log into the router from a browser using 192.168.1.1 and you should get to most of what you need.  if wifi isn't working connect an ethernet cable and try that

    Hi petro_jemes,
    Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
    I hope this helps.

  • Keep losing my desktop picture on macbook

    I have my macbook pro linked to a samsung syncmaster SA550. i keep losing my desktop picture, when i leave the machine and return it from sleep mode, I am left with a grey screen, sometimes with no icons?

    Probably the desktop picture is no longer on the macbook but on the syncmaster. Make sure that the desktop picture (itself, and not an alias) is on your macbook (e.g. the pictures folder) and set it again in the SystemPreferences/Desktop settings.

  • Why do I keep losing my "notes"?

    Why do I keep losing my "notes"?

    I have been losing notes off and on for almost 2 years now. Contract is almost up--will probably switch over to a Galaxy next time.
    Notes are extremely important to me. I have NO idea why they disappear. Here is what I learned.
    Originally the notes were backed up to my Yahoo account as many of you found out. When you lose one, you will find it in your Notes folder in your Yahoo email account. Similar backup with Gmail.
    I started using iCloud for notes a month ago. The huge advantage is that you can compose or paste in large amounts of text from your desktop device, and they are pushed immediately to the iPhone. Editing is a breeze now.
    But wait—what happens if you lose a note?  I lost my main shopping list this morning while at Home Depot. iCloud is immediately updated, and the note is erased! No backup. So I have resorted to drafting emails of each note which are then saved in iCloud email Draft folder. Works for now, but a horrible workaround for what should be a robust app. Shame on you Apple.

  • ITunes keeps losing my library every 2-3 days!

    iTunes keeps losing my library every 2-3 days. Completely erasing all songs and playlists. This is incredibly annoying and forces me to redo it all AGAIN.
    Any way for me to solve this problem?

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
    If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

  • Why do I keep losing signatures in Apple Mail after I select a signature in Preferences?

    Why do I keep losing signatures in Apple Mail after I select a signature in Preferences?

    When you connect your Mac back up to the Exchange server, it will “sync” what is on the server to your Mac, losing all those older emails. Don’t reconnect until you have moved them.
    To move them, Drag them from the Exchange folders on Mail and into an iCloud folder. The emails will then be stored on iCloud instead of on the exchange server.
    You could also just create mailboxes on your Mac and drag them into that. They wouldn’t be accessible to other devices, but you’d have them on your Mac.
    To create new Mailboxes, Click the Add ( + ) button at the bottom of the Mailbox list and choose New Mailbox…
    You can choose where that folder is stored, either under On My Mac for a local mailbox, or in your iCloud account which will make a folder on the iCloud server.
    In the future, you need to start moving your emails to those independent mailboxes as you file them, and set up a rule that will move anything older than 50 days into a “catch-all” Mailbox you create on that same location (either On My Mac or iCloud). Mail Preferences, Rules.

  • When trying to download ITunes rel 10, I keep losing my intenet connection

    When trying to update and download ITunes release 10, I keep losing my internet connection - message I keep getting is "There might be a problem with the driver for the Local Adaptor Connection adaptor".
    I keep restoring my PC to a previous point which gets me back my internet but now have lost all access to Itunes ( version 9 ). I have alos tried uninstalling all Itunes products but the internet connection
    failed during this sequence as well.
    I've never had any issues with upgrading Itunes before. Can someone PLEASE help
    me through this. Thank you.

    You won't see anything obviously related to iCloud, Jimmy. But if you go to the home iTunes Store page while logged into your iTunes Store account, you should see a Purchases link now under the Quick Links header. That's the only part of iCloud active at this time.
    Regards.

  • HT4759 I keep losing alll the events in my apple calendar

    I keep losing alll the events in my apple calendar

    I enter events in my Apple calendar on my iphone and they disappear.  Today everything but birthdays linked to contacts has disappeared.  Nothing has ever reappeared later.  Cannot find events in icloud either.  This is the worst loss I've had.  Can anyone recommend a more reliable calendar program? 

  • I am trying to install iCloud Update on My HP Pavilion Windows 8.1and keep getting "error 2343 icloud"

    I have an HP Pavilion 500-214 Desktop with an AMD Elite Quad-core AB-6500 Accelerated Processor, 8GB DDR3 System Memory, and a 2TB Hard Drive.  My Operating System is Windows 8.1 64 bit.  I have been trying to install Apple iCloud 4.0 and keep getting this message:
    icloud For Windows Installer Error: This installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.  Error Code 2343 ~ Try downloading only and install manually.
    Neither option have worked.  I need to know whatto do in order to fix this problem.  I have not used "troubleshooting" but will if suggested; went straight to Google Search for error 2343 - icloud

    I could never get icloud to download except for it would go into a downloaded folder which I kept getting error 2343 every time I tried to install, so I deleted that folder and then I had to uninstall iTunes first  and then I was able to install icloud and then after that reinstalled iTunes!  It worked! I have been trying for 2 months now and finally did it!  I did not lose anything that was backed up to iTunes!  I also have new laptop with windows 8.1

  • Can you save a Pages document to the desktop and have it linked with iCloud?

    Or does Pages sandbox documents when they are saved to iCloud? I heavily use folders on my mac to organize projects, and have started using Pages so that I can write on my phone and ipad. However, I would like to have an icon of a document that links to icloud rather than having to open the application and then pick the document.
    I'm essentially organizing two separate areas; the one on my computer with all my media, research links, etc and then documents organization in Pages in the cloud.
    Kinda wish there was a way to make a reference file option; saved in icloud, but can be organized in mac folders.
    Any thoughts? Or am I missing something obvious.
    Thanks.

    You cannot access your iWork documents in the cloud through a folder structure as you can on your computer.
    You might want to approach your use of these documents in the cloud in a slightly different way. I tend to use iCloud for my documents "in progress", but once complete I then move them to my regular folder structure on my computer and out of the cloud. This means I have a minimum but relevant number of documents available to me when I open the appropriate app on my mobile device.

    trying to remove an old version of I tunes, but keep getting the message 'The folder path I Tunes contains an invalid character'

    Hi Barbara,
    I had a similar problem recently and using the "more like this" feature I discovered an answer. To a problem posed by Holo7,  who like myself was a newbie on this platform,  b noir proposed a solution to Holo7's problem that also worked with my problem. It involves downloading a version of MS Windows Instal Cleanup and using it to completely remove all traces of the old version.
    If you look at my problem (follow OldGit66) and the link to Holo7's problem then you will find b noir's answer which I think may help you. I am new around here so you might want to wait for one of the higher status correspondents.
    Regards

  • External drive conntected to Time Capsule keeps losing connection

    I've been having this problem since I bought my TC over one year ago. Other than this everything works fine (aside from the occasional need for a restart).
    I have an external 500GB drive attached to my 500GB TC via usb. I use the TC strictly for backups and the other drive to host my media files. When I want to use those files I switch on the drive. Only about half of the time does that work. When it does work everything is fine. I see the drive in the finder as expected.
    When it doesn't work, I can see the drive name in the finder. But if I click to go into the folder, I get an error saying that the connection cannot be found.
    It shows up in the Airport Utility as normal.
    Powering the drive off and on does not help.
    Relaunching the finder doesn't help either.
    The only way I can connect to the drive again is to either logoff and log back into my mac, or restart the TC.
    It seems that my computer is remembering some kind of network disk mounting settings that don't get refreshed when I turn on the drive, but then do get refreshed when I logoff and back in. Does anyone know how I could force that refresh to happen? Has anyone had this problem before?
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated
    PS all my software and firmware are the latest.
    Thanks.

  • When will my icloud folder reflect memory upgrade? I am trying to move files from google drive folder to icloud.

    My icloud folder does not reflect storage upgrade.  I only had 25GB on my google drive and I have 500GB on my icloud but cannot move these files over. Whats up?

    How much free storage do you have on your system drive?  Since all files on iCloud Drive will be mirrored on your system drive as shadow copies in your user library, you can only keep as many files on iCloud Drive as can be kept on your system drive as well.
    You cannot use iCloud Drive to save space on your system drive, if that is what you are trying to do.
