Link to iDisk Public Folder?

I'm still navigating the Homepage closing. All is well except my Public Folder.
I put materials in that folder for my students and colleagues to access, but with the closure of homepage I think that no longer works.
Can I link to my iDisk Public Folder from a page in my MobileMe site?

Try this:
http://public.me.com/membername

Share iMovie 08 files via iDisk Public Folder

Does anybody know the best way to share iMovie files via the public folder of my iDisk? I'm trying to share videos of HS football games using this method. The files are 250-400 MB in size. Anyone have any ideas?

You would send the "link" to your QuickTime file stored in your iDisk Public folder.
The URL syntax would be:
http://homepage.mac.com/accountname/.Public/filename/fileextension.
Ask your visitors to copy (don't click) on the link. Then open QuickTime Player and "Open URL" (File menu) and paste the URL.
One of mine as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/RedneckTexasChristmas.mov
You can also use simple XML syntax to create a QuickTime Media Link file that allows more features (full screen, autoplay and quit when done and even embed URL "links" into the file.
Another example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/RedneckTexasChristmas.qtl
Clicking the link above will download a very tiny file and then link to the source video (and the additional features).

Idisk public folder won't sync on .mac site

Help my local idisk used to sync perfectly to the main idisk mac site via my public folder, until I recently changed over from a dial up to wireless internet connection. Now isyn works ok, but I cannot upload anything from my local idisk public folder to the main idisk website on .mac.
Anyone with any suggestions would be welcome?
If it helps in any way, I could no longer receive e-mail on my mac.com e-mail address either as the wireless server and .mac settings are not compatible. So now I have to forward all my .mac.com e-mails to my g-mail address which downloads normally into entourage! I think this issue is probably linked to why my idisk won't work, but don't know how to fix it.
Thanks for any help

Have you checked and double-checked passwords (keychain) for this iDisk thing?
Sometimes KeyChain FirstAid helps. or Repair permissions(n DiskUtility).
Do you get error messages when you attempt a file transfer to iDisk?
What do you mean "wireless server and .mac settings are not compatible"?
Your statement that you no longer receive email on dot-mac?
It appears that your dot-mac account is getting mail, since you're able to forward it somewhere else.
Do you really mean that whatever mail program you use isn't able to login to the dot-mac mail account?

Looking for the Mac OS 9 iDisk Public Folder icon

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I'm creating an icon set of Mac OS 9 icons for OS X. I've been able to locate the regular iDisk icon, as it's stored in the Mac OS 9 "System" file. But, what I can't seem to locate is the iDisk Public folder icon. I found a pic of what it looks via Google Images:

If anyone could help me out, that'd be awesome

Hi, Alex -
If you are accessing iDisk while booted to OS 9, you are probably using the utility Goliath to do so.
The icon you reference looks much like those in the set used by Goliath, which can be found in the icl8 resource in the Goltiath program.
Tip - in OS 9, when you copy-paste an icon to a folder to give the folder a custom icon, an invisible file named "icon" is created and placed in the folder. This invisible file contains the "icl" family of resources for the custom icon. This resource is easily opened using ResEdit, and perhaps by other icon manipulation utilities, and eliminates a lot of the clutter associated with opening a program in ResEdit to get to the icl resources.
Because of changes to the icon formats ResEdit itself no longer works well in OS 9.1 and later for alteration or modification of an icon. However, there is a utility that will allow you to create custom icons or modify existing ones -

How to mp3files, from iTunes, to iDisk public folder etc.

Greetings:
I need to upload unedited sound files to my .mac iDisk public folder for download from the sound editors.
How do I do this from iTunes. When I drag & drop, it goes through the motions of copying the files from iTunes, to the iDisk folder, yet nothing is actually transferred.
It is necessary to use iTunes because FCP will not compress in MP3, and the zipped aiff, although appearing as 4.9mb, is not allowed by iDisk (2G) as being 'too large of a file."
Suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Nordicdogs
1. First export the music file to the desktop, then try move it to the iDisk.
2. The 'to large a file' message can occur if the File Permissions are screwed up. However, fixing permissions with Disk Utility only works with System Files, so Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iTunes Music Folder.
Regards

IDisk Public folder access

I'm attempting to give others browser access to my public folder. Everything works per the directions below except that the public folder password doesn't work. It's necessary to use my dot-Mac password to reach my public folder! Has anyone else seen this?
"Mac or Windows users who are not MobileMe members can access your iDisk by opening a web browser and entering: public.me.com/[YourMemberName], and if necessary, entering your Public folder password."

I have the exact problem mentioned above.
I have changed my System Preferences — MobileMe — iDisk — Your iDisk Public Folder — Password-protect your public folder PASSWORD to a NEW PASSWORD that is not my ACCOUNT PASSWORD and it won't take.
I have tried to access my public folder with the NEW PASSWORD but it only responds to my ACCOUNT PASSWORD.
I've reset it the password many times, restarted many times and have tried accessing the public folder through Safari and Firefox.
I'd prefer to have a separate password for my public folder.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Idisk public folder with password inaccessible via Safari

My idisk public folder is password protected.
No one (at least using a Mac) can access it using Safari.
They can, however, access it from a Mac using FireFox. (I haven't tried IE).
Is this a known bug. I recall it happening pre-Leopard, as well, so I don't think it's Leopard specific.

Creating a shortcut link to a public folder object. Is it possible?

I have never done this before and never had a reason to until now. I am wondering if there is a way to have a link to a Public Folder object such as an email with attachments sent to users that have Outlook 2010. The reason I am doing this is because we
send out daily emails with attachments to all users and since Exchange 2010 no longer supports single instance storage, these emails are consuming too much database space. I want the department sending these emails to just send a single copy to a public folder
and then send a link to that email to all users. Is this even possible?

Hi,
From my research, from Exchange 2007 and later version, the url to access public folder is no longer simple and clear as it in Exchange 2003. The hyperlink is long and complicated with a series of number and letter in the end.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb397221(v=exchg.141).aspx#Access
I’d recommend you put files on a shared platform for long-term.

Question about iDisk Public Folder Security

Is it possible to determine which folders in my iDisk's Public Folder are accessible to certain people.
I am directing different people to my Public Folder, so I want some folders to be off limits to some, but accessible to others.
Is that possible?
Thanks

In addition to what QTK says, note that the whole issue becomes moot in a few months. In June, I believe, Apple has said that MobileMe will disappear, taking with it things like your iDisk. You'd be better off starting to use something else now, rather than learning new things about the iDisk that will be irrelevant soon. Dropbox is an excellent alternative.

Can i connect to my idisk public folder and download?

is this possible? i want to download some mp3s in my public folder or documents

Jullian,
So you have to mount your iDisk on your desktop and go directly to it with something like Air Share? I've always just worked with a transfer folder on my hard drive/desktop. Will this let you access ALL levels of files on your iDisk - not just your public folder?
I wonder what new capabilities Apple is talking about getting for accessing your iDisk from a iPhone/touch.

Idisk public folder

Not sure this is the correct place but I cannot get the password to work on letting someone use my public folder. It asks for a password but it is my main password not the one I enter when using the mac tab on System Preferences.

OneDrive Public Folder Question

Hi All,
I have a WinRT C# app that uses the Live SDK v5.6. In my app a user can upload files and create folders within their OneDrive account and generate share links. Is there anyway for a user to be able to access files located in another user's specified
public folder on OneDrive?
Here's what I've got so far: A user creates a folder and sets it to public. The app creates a 'contact card' file that the user can send to another user. In this file the sender's ID is stored, along with the web link to their public folder and
that folder's OneDrive ID. The recipient opens the 'contact card' file in my app and all the values come through successfully. Now I just need to know how (or if) I can use those values to direct my app to download a list of files in the sender's
public OneDrive folder. When I try to use the folder ID like so:
LiveOperationResult Aresult = await connectClient.GetAsync(folderID + "/files");
The operation never completes. I assume this is because the folderID is tied to the sender's user account. So what are my options here? Is there another value that would work, like upload_location? Could I use the REST API and the public
web link to get the list of files? Is there any other way one user can access another user's public folder on OneDrive? Thanks for your help.

If the file/folder has been shared with the users contact and they are in each others contact list, you can check the files for the pictures and the source returned in the results (something similar to below). You will also want to make sure that you're
using the wl.contacts_photos scope as well so that you can view the contacts photos.
LiveOperationResultpictureOperationResult
= awaitclient.GetAsync(contact.id
+ "skydrive/files");
dynamicpictureResult = pictureOperationResult.Result;
foreach(dynamicpicture
inpictureResult.data)
varpictureItem =
newSkyDriveItem(picture.id,
picture.name, picture.name, picture.source, picture.description, picture.description, group);
group.Items.Add(pictureItem);

Maximum file size for iDisk's public folder?

I was wondering whether there is a max size for files in the idisk's public folder.
When syncing my 68 MB zip file, the file on the iDisk shows 0MB. When uploading files externally via Safari, any file above 1 MB shows as 0MB.
What are the restrictions...cannot find any information in the database.
Jurgen

Hi Jürgen,
Apparently there is no limit to the size. Check out the size of this file I have stored there! (;>)
BTW, I'm trying to find out about this size anomoly in another forum.

No. There is no iDisk with iCloud. You can use one of several third-party alternatives like SugarSync, ADrive, or MediaFire.

iCloud does not provide this facility. You will need to look for a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:
