Keychain sync - using Mobile Documents?
Hello All,
Like many, I'm disappointed that Keychain sync has been dropped, as I have two Macs between which I absolutely need to sync the keychains.
I see that if you enable "Documents and Data" sync in the iCloud Preferences on each Mac, then anything you put in a folder called ~Library/Mobile Documents gets synced between devices.
So, for keychain, would the following workaround be successful, which makes use of the ~Library/Mobile Documents/ folder?
Make a copy of login.keychain (on all your Macs) for backup
Copy that login.keychain to ~Library/Mobile Documents on one Mac
(Watch it sync between devices)
Delete the login.keychain (using Keychain access) on each Mac
"Add keychain" on each Mac, pointing to the login.keychain in the Mobile Documents folder
Whilst I know that it will physically sync the keychain, my questions are:
Is there a problem with two macs simultaneously talking to the same keychain (as I have both on at the same time)?
Is the data secure?
Any other problems with using this folder (which I assume really isn't for such system items)
Thanks!
Syncing of documents between Macs using the mobile documents folder has not worked since OS X 10.7.2.

How to use Mobile Documents in Library in my Mac as backup for iCloud?
Does anyone know how I can ensure the Mobile Documents in Library in my Mac contain updated versions of the documents created and modified in iCloud (just to be safe)? I know the purpose of iCloud is to host these documents and make them available to all my devises, but I want to maintain a backup on my own mac as well, just in case.
Thanks in advance for the help!Andrew K Y Wong wrote:
I logged on to icloud through Safari on my mac. I can see all the updated files there.
Is the mac reading the files from the Mobile Documents folder? If so, then that is very weird indeed.
No, it's not using the mobile documents folder if you are viewing the documents thrrough your browser, but it is using the Mobile Documents folder when you view all your documents from the iWork applications themselves.
I've been assuming you see them there. -
Mobile Documents Folder Missing in 10.7.3?
I have a 13" MacBook Air and a 27" iMac that I just did the combo update to 10.7.3. Since I have updated, I am missing the mobile documents folder. If I upload a pages document to icloud.com on my iMac and then go to icloud.com on my MacBook Air, it show's the file, however, it's the default pages icon, and it doesn't give me the opportunity to download it.
Because of this, I thought I'd look in the "Mobile Documents" folder and see if I can access it from there. However not that folder is missing. I have tried many different ways to get it to show up but I've been unable to.
I'm curious if Apple realized some people were using this folder as a "Dropbox" and disabled or further hid the folder so people can't sync files back and forth. More importantly, why doesn't icloud.com work for me as it used to?
Anyone have this happen to them?
Anyone know of any tricks to get the Mobile Documents folder to show up in 10.7.3?
Please help!I can add a very related problem about this folder, after Lion 10.7.3 update.
I have a Goodreader app on my iPad and I used to use ~/Mobile Documents/.../Documents folder to transfer files
between my Mac and iPad.
After I updated my Mac to Lion 10.7.3, this method no longer works. Changes I make on my Mac's
~/Mobile Documents/.../Documents folder are no longer sent to the iCloud server and hence not pushed to my iPad. On the other hand, changes made on my iPad's Goodreader app continue to show up on the iCloud server, but they don't get pushed to my Mac.
So I confirm that this update causes problems. -
Yosemite ate my Mobile Documents
Hi. first post so please be gentle with me.
I have iMac and AirBook which were both running Mavericks. i used Mobile Documents to allow me to access files across both machines.
i recently upgraded both machines to Yosemite. Installation seems to go OK. However the migration from Mobile Documents to Cloud Drive seems to have failed. Mobile Documents no longer available (as expected) but they aren't available in Cloud Drive (which is where I understood they would appear after the upgrade).
Recovery from Time Machines doesn't appear to be available (or i am not accessing properly).
Can anyone offer suggestions?
Thx
DayleHi,
I have similar problems after upgrading my machine from Mavericks to Yosemite. It is strange, because some programs refers to the path I used with Mavericks to the Mobile Documents AND IT WORKS (programs can read and write into the path), but I can not see the folders by using Yosemite with the Finder. I can just see the same level I can open with the Web-iCloud. I'm sure there is nothing lost, but I need access with the Finder. I activated the feature Show Hidden Files, but it wasn't the solution.
I hope you can help me to read out my folders in Mobile Documents with the Finder on the same way I could before I upgraded.
Kindly greetings -
Presently, our Mail, Calendars, etc. are being synced using Mobile Me accounts. Considering all of the changes coming to Calendars, etc. with Lion, anything special to do before / during a change to Lion?
Hi
If you already have a Mobile Me account it will work with Lion until you change to iCloud or June 2012, which ever comes first...
Calanders, Contacts, Mail, Notes will become part of iCloud when launched (in the very near future), your iDisk, Photo Gallery and iWeb hosting will cease when you register for iCloud or in June 2012. So if you use the features of Mobileme that will cease to be, carry on using Mobileme for as long as possible.

How do I use mobile link to view documents on more than one device?
I have documents on my iPhone and want to send them to my iPad using Mobile Link. How do I do this?
Hi bephys,
For this you can simply upload the doc to files.acrobat.com and send the link to the recipient via Adobe Send.
Anyone having the link would be able to access the doc.
Alternatives would be Google Drive or One Drive.
These links might be helpful to you:

When using Mobile Me I can't sync with outlook exchange?
I want to use mobile me to sync my contacts/calender and when I sync mobile me (desktop)with the cloud it says syncing but nothing shows up in Mobile me...Can anyone help? I have all my contact/calender in exchange...
How did it make you create a new id and update?
You don't have to update unlesss you choose to update. -
When I try to sync my mobile browser to my computer browser, It says my E-mail address is already in use. Then when I tried to sign in under that E-mail address, it says the password or user name is incorrect. I already reset the password and tried again, still with no success.
If you are trying to '''add a new device''' to your Sync account, see this: <br />

'''Pair a Device''' is usually the best way of adding a mobile device to a Firefox account. -
Duplicate entries after syncing. My phone went from about 125 contacts to 1,965. Some contacts are duplicated 30 times! Tried deleting the contacts and resyncing- same thing. I don't use Mobile me.

Please HELP!!!

Address book sync question using Mobile Me
I sync my address book using Mobile Me.
However, I have several different groups in my book, and only want to sync one group.
I can't figure out how to do that. Right now it is syncing all my contacts.
Any suggestions!?
Message was edited by: KevShootzSounds like a desktop configuration issue you should investigate if you can have more than one contact listing for each user logon and whether you can make one of them the default.

Lightroom always syncs to mobile using an old Adobe id
I had a CC subscription on a work email address, with LR and PS installed. I synced LR with LR mobile using that email address. I cancelled that subscription and took out a new one using my personal adobe id. I removed all the software, went through the clean up process and reinstalled, having signed in with the new id. Now LR thinks it is a trial (but I have posted a separate question about that), and I cannot make it sync using my personal Adobe id. It insists on using my old id and says the subscription has expired (which is true!), even though CC Desktop app shows I am connected with the new id. How can I make it point to the new id? If I try to sign out and back in again it does not give me the option to put in a different id.
Can you send me your new adobe id as a private message so that I can have a look at the back-end of your account?

Hey all, i have a serious situation here. I have written a a term paper in pages last friday and must have have soemhow forgotten to save it. Now i just wanted to proof read some sections and I had to find out that this document doesnt exist. Not on my mac, not in iCloud. To cut to the chase - After hours of reserach I have found out that unsaved iwork documents have been saved to ~/Library/Mobile Documents prior to MAC OS 10.7.3.
I actually have found rather complicated manuals on how to get this mobile documents folder up and running but I guess it will only start saving stuff in there by now...?
So before I spend another 2 hours trying to get the mobile documents folder back into my librarby I rather start writing my paper all over
Maybe someone of you has experienced a similar problem and can help me out here... I seriously could cry !! So dont want to write everything again...
Please help me!! Thanks a lot!

I'm having same issu over here.
Her is my setup
iMac 27" 2014 running Mavericks latest version.
iPad Mini running iOS 8.0.0
MacBook Air 2013 running latest version of Yosemite Public Beta
iPhone 4 running OS 7.1.2
Everything was working like a charm using iCloud Drive and all my Keynote, Pages and Numbers files stored on iCloud.
I could sync with the iMac due to the fact that I'm still on Mavericks, but that didn't bother me. And I don't use Keynote, Pages or Numbers
on my iPhone 4.
I just got an iPhone 6 Gold 64 Go and this is where it all went wrong.
After installation and update to 8.0.2 and setup of my new iPhone, I launched
keynote to see if I could access the presentations I had been working on.
And oh! Horror!!! A popup saying presenting have been deleted from another device....
So I hop back over to my iPad Mini where I had been working on an important presentation... Gone!!
All my presentations... Gone! More that 30 of them... Vanished.
But no problems with Pages or Numbers.... Weird....
Please Please Please help Apple.... I need these files and was solely relying on icloud for backing up my work. That was probably a bad bad move.
Thanks for helping. I see I'm not alone....
