Let me get this straight -- when I drag a file into a iCloud folder, it ERASES it off my computer?

Why on earth would it do that instead of make a COPY on icloud -- am I missing something? So if I take all my files into icloud, they are all GONE from my laptop? And what am I supposed to do then I need to use them and I don't have internet access?
I must be missing something, no one could design a service that stupid.
Apple -- make a simple VIDEO that explains how to transition into iCloud.  All your videos are maketing, not instructional.
I have also paid extra to backup all mu music on the cloud, but how do I access those files in itunes on my iphone?  No hints, no instructions, can't figure out how to do it.  ***!

"Well, there was no prompt because it doesn't remove them from your Mac. I just tested exactly what you did and the original documents remained exactly where I dragged them from, and a copy was uploaded to iCloud."
I have a completely different experience, it removes the file completely from my computer when I load it on iCloud.  And I have tested this multiple times.
The link you sent seems to support what I am seeing happen:
"You can download a document from icloud.com/iwork to your Mac or Windows computer, edit it, and then drag the revised version to icloud.com/iwork"
I'll have to go to the Apple store and have them explain it.
It sems to me the user should be able to chose whether the file on the cloud is the only copy, or an identical copy of something you also want to keep on your computer.

  • Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new folder?

    Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new layer folder instead of the bottom? It annoys me that they always go to the bottom and I inevitably always need them at the top.
    Thanks

    Hi there
    ok so PS CS6 if I grab a layer in Group A (yes layer sets sorry) and drop it into Group B, itll put it under anything thats already in Group B, which annoys me! Is there a way of telling PS to default anything dragged from one group to another to default the newly added layers to the top

    Hello johnc1936,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like we may need to recreate your iTunes Library.itl file. The following article outlines how to do so:

  • I am having a problem moving files from a iMac  in location mac in another location.  I have tried using Dropbox and the Public folder in the i disc.  When I drag the files into dropbox they become alias' and I can't open them at the other end beca

    I am having a problem moving files from an imac in one location to an imac inanother location.  I have tried using Dropbox which is installed in both locations but when i drad a file ino yhe app it becomes an alias.  When I get to the other location it says I can't open the file because the " original application that created it is not present".  This is despite the fact that the app that created both files is installed in both computers.  If I use the Public folder in the idisc, when I get to the other location the file isn't there.  Am I forgetting to turn something on or off?  Should I manually sync the Public folder and if so how? Thanks

  • When I drag pdf files into iBooks Author, the background in the pdf file changes into the colour of my book (brown/beige)?

    Hi,
    when I drag a pdf file (when working in Preview) into iBooks Author, the background colour in the pdf file changes into the background colour of the book.
    This happens not consistently, sometimes the background of the pdf file does not change (and stays white), sometimes it's like the text in the pdf file is 'lifted' of the file, and put on the page in iBooks Author (with a brown/beige background).
    All the pdf files are scanned pdf's, nothing comes out of Pages, Word, Excel,...
    Anybody?
    Thanks a lot!
    Wouter

    I have the same question (posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25644741#25644741).
    I believe this is because the PDFs have transparent backgrounds. As far as I can tell, the only way to fix it is to export the PDF as another file, such as an image file. Or perhaps convert it to Word and import it that way.

    I own 5. And I own 6. But when I try to open 6 am being prompted for my subscription info.Otherwise am locked out. When I ask for support I get referred to a forum. Remember, two licenses. Oh and since I started the project in 5, It's repeatedly failed to manually save, the audio just disappears, it loses the program monitor, fails to save renders, timecode window burn doesn't work, and that's just for starters.
    Thanks Adobe.

  • Syncing to new computer - let me get this straight...

    I recently lost my laptop on a trip, forcing me to sync my iPhone with a new computer.
    I have never downloaded apps through iTunes. Recently several apps have stopped working, quitting several seconds after launch. Apparently the fix is to reinstall them from backup?
    Anyway, if I were to allow syncing between my iphone and my new laptop, it's going to require wiping all my current apps. Which means I have to re-download all apps, preferably through iTunes, and Apple won't charge me for the ones I've already paid for, correct?
    And, if I allow the wiping of my iPhone to occur, does that mean I also have to download the native apps that were included on the iPhone, i.e. Google Maps, iPod, iTunes, Contacts, etc.?
    Anyone else go through this?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Don't forget to back up manually. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your phone and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. After your phone is erased during the first sync you can use this backup to get your data and settings back. See what's in that backup:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Your purchases can be transfered the same way.
    When applications are purchased using the App Store on iPhone or iPod touch, they are downloaded directly to the device and are immediately usable. These applications can be synced back to your iTunes library with iTunes 7.7 or later. Simply connect your iPhone or iPod touch to the iTunes library where you normally sync and iTunes will ask you if you would like to transfer the purchases made on your device to your iTunes library as show below. The applications will be stored in the Applications section of the iTunes library. Note that if your iTunes library is not authorized with the iTunes Store account used to purchase the application on the device, the application will not be transferred to the iTunes library but will not be removed from the device.

  • When I drag .ics files into Outlook for Mac 2011, only the all-day events show up. It won't show part-day events.

    I'm attempting to copy events from the Calendar app on my MacBook pro to the Outlook 2011 calendar. When I drop and drag the .ics files to Outlook, it accepts the information, but only shows all day events. I've tried changing events in Calendar to all day, then create the .ics file then drop and drag to Outlook, and even that doesn't work. Is anyone else having that problem? Has anyone found a solution for this?

    Is Macintosh HD2 an external or internal HD? If it is external be sure in Finder > Preferences > General External disks is checked. Similarly in Findeer > Preferences > Sidebar be sure External disks is checked. If it is a second internal HD do you see it in Disk Utlitiy or System Report?

  • I just started getting the error message below - when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this.  Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

    I just started getting the error message below, when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this."  Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

    There should be nothing native to the OS X which would ask for a password
    or  other information on a restart, unless accompanied by the traditional login
    box with your user name.
    There are adware or marginal products that could be called malware (bad)
    that would impose their presence and some items that could have been
    downloaded by accident or through some corrupted free software site; of
    those some could ask for and gain permission to go through your Mac
    and maybe even run in the background to do other nefarious misdeeds.
    You could see if startup in SafeBoot allows you access past that the Completer.
    Since I don't have a pile of helpful article links on how to resolve various issues
    I'd be looking them up one way or another.
    There are some helpful items in the site http://thesafemac.com - see Tech Guides
    listed  (adware, malware, & performance) plus a link to the adwaremedic page.
    Also, Apple support has a helpful page on how to remove adware and other bits:

    Hopefully this helps somewhat.

  • After installing the maverick i get this message when i try to open   iTunes: If you want to run i 64bits modus you must remove the mark:Open in 32bits modus.But i have removed the 32bits and i still can't get it to work!Have maces

    after installing maverick i get this message when i try to open itunes:Unmark the 32bits modus-but i have unmarked it several times!The new iTunes requires 64bits modus so what shall i do?

    I upgraded my 2007 iMac (20") to Maverick. Should never have done this! Lost mail, lost my mail archive, lost numerous programs/applications, lost all my installed hardware, spend 4 days on getting it running again with the (supreme) help of Apple Care. However it should not have happened at all!
    iMac Computers with less than 4Gb of internal memory (as explained by Apple Care), or less than (estimated) 150Gb of free disc-space should not upgrade! Simple as that and the App Store should warn you about that and not simply let you pick up your free copy of Maverick!

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
