Logic and iCloud - What's new?

HI!
I make projects mostly on my iMac and transfer them to the MBP for when rehearsing with the band (backtracking). Is there anyone using a better system for syncing than AirDrop? Dropbox won't properly work most of the time, from my experience, if you choose to save a project unless you zip it first. Does saving projects in the iCloud-folder work better?
Please share if you have a quick workflow!
Kindly,
Joachim

iCloud works fine and you don't need to zip.....  but of course, the efficiency of this depends on what internet bandwidth you have available.. plus the cost of buying extra space on iCloud if you intend to keep projects stored there
However... rather than use Airdrop which I have found to be slow or sluggish at times...
Personally I just share a folder on the destination Mac and send via Finder if they are both on the same network...

  • Hi, today I upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 5. I backed up and synced my data on itunes and icloud. My new iphone however reverted to my 2011 phone settings. how do i get yesterday's settings back and get my contacts and photos from icloud onto new phon

    Just to give you a bit more detail. I upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 5 today. Last night I backed up and synced all my messages, photos and contacts on itunes and icloud. When I connected the new iphone 5 to itunes today, it somehow reverted back to my old phone settings from 2011 :S So now, I have apps, particularly games, that are incomplete. My contacts have numbers that are out of date and I have none of the photos that were taken in the past year. My 2012 messages are gone and old messages from 2011 are there. Now, all my phone data had been regularly stored and synced with itunes and icloud. So why did it revert back to 2011 phone settings and how can I get it to change to the settings that existed last night? Also all my information on icloud, how do I get that onto my new iphone? If I go on www.icloud.com and sign in, all my photos, contacts, mail and messages are there, but I have no idea how to transfer that to my new iphone 5. Any help on all of these issues would be appreciated, thanks.

    In Regards to this, You possibly wont be able to get the contacts from the iPhone 4 unless there is a back up file on your computer.
    The original phone would be disabled due to alot of attempts of the wrong passcode. If all your contacts are on the cloud at the moment, you would be able to just set the iPhone 4S up with iCloud on it then Turn On "Contacts".
    This would be bring all the contacts down from your iCloud onto your 4S.
    But you will only be able to merge your contacts with the cloud when your original iPhone either has been enabled or the passcode was entered.
    If you have previously already had iCloud on that device and have contacts Turned on, you will be able to just enter the same Apple ID you used for iCLoud on your original phone and use it on your new one.
    Your able to check what content your iCloud holds via www.icloud.com
    If you are unable to get past the disabled screen, then unfortunately the device will have to be put into recovery mode and then restored via iTunes NOTE: This will delete all data.

  • Aperture and iCloud - what happens to MobileMe galleries?

    Anyone have any insight on whether icloud will host aperture photo galleries?

    It is absolutely, inequitably wrong for Apple to to abandon all the MobileMe users with its faltered plan to discontinue the service.  Synching aside, it was and is the best and most economical way to share files and data for small companies like mine.  I was screwed when Apple discontinued dotMac after having spent days and weeks developing a web site utilizing the now defunct service.  I purchase the 60GB plan at roughly $200.00 per year and It's like DejaVu all over again.  Shame on you Apple if you stop supporting this wonderful product.
    I remember a company that was once proud to say "We think outside the box!"
    If that were true, then you would not pull the carpet out from under us again and again.
    The following info "Information about the MobileMe transition" Last Modified: June 06, 2011 Article: HT4597 is useless for planning my future business moves.
    Summary
    What's happening to MobileMe?
    Effective June 6, 2011, if you had an active MobileMe account, your service has been automatically extended through June 30, 2012, at no additional charge. After this, the MobileMe service will no longer be available.
    Products Affected
    MobileMe
    What will happen to the content I have on MobileMe?
    Apple has announced a new service called iCloud which will be available this fall and free for iOS 5 and OS X Lion users. When you sign up for iCloud, you'll be able to keep your me.com or mac.com email address and move your MobileMe mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks to the new service.
    When iCloud becomes available this fall, more details and instructions will be provided on how to make the move.
    Can I create a new MobileMe account?
    You can no longer create a new 60-day trial account or start a new subscription using a code contained in a MobileMe box. However, if you have a Family Pack subscription, you can still create new family member accounts
    I think "alansky1" has the right idea:
    Please visit the MobileMe Feedback Page and let Apple know how you feel about this issue. It may do no good, but it certainly can't hurt.

  • Firefox 6.0 AND 6.1 ALWAYs loads compatibity check and then what's new page as well as my home page

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [[/questions/866032]]</blockquote>
    The problem is that EACH TIME I open Firefox 6.0 and now 6.1 I just installed it runs a compatibility ad-on check AND then opens the "what's new?" page AS WELL AS my home page in a separate tab. I then have to close the "what's new" tab to get to home page. I never had this problem with all other previous Firefox versions. Any thoughts or suggestions. Anyone else have the problem?
    If I revert back to a version 5 will it keep my bookmarks? These versions 6,o and 6.1 are just a hassle to me. I run Windows XP home.

    Hi,
    I just saw topic http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum82/HTML/000617.html with the answer pointing to bug 1869531.

  • I installed Firefox 29.01 but two pages keep popping up, my home page and the what's new in Firefox page. How do I stop the What's New page from popping up?

    I installed Firefox 29.01 but every time I open it my home opens and so does the What's new in Firefox page. I want to disable the What's New page and only want the home page to open up but everytime I start Firefox both pages open up.

    hello, this might happen when firefox is not able to properly save preferences in its profile folder. please try this: Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and then click help [[Image:Help-29]] > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder". then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.
    for more information and other steps please also see: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]

    Are you trying to connect over WiFi? Or cellular? Does this happen on all networks or just certain ones?
    And, just for my edification, what is "Twitch"?

  • I downloaded os6.0 now missing facetime, messages and Icloud what happened?

    I downloaded os6.0 and are now missing Facetime, messages and the Icloud tools what happened? can I get those back?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • If I erased a season of a TV show from both iTunes library and iCloud, what can I do to restore it or at least have it back in my purchased list?

         Recently I bought three seasons of a TV show, but when I was going to download the second one I noticed that I could have it with 1080p, so I changed my settings so all other downloads would be in 1080p. The second and the third season where downloaded that way, but since I didn't noticed this when I was downloading the first season; it was downloaded in 720p. I thought that if I erased the first season I could download it again but in 1080p, so I deleted the whole season from my iTunes library, but also from iCloud when it asked if I wanted so.
         Until that moment I thought I was doing it the right way, but when I went to iTunes Store to download it, there was no option to do so, even though that in the season icon it said that it was purchased. After that I went to my purchased list and it wasn't there.
         Fortunetely, I always make a backup for my Mac in an external drive, so what I did was copying the file of the season that was in my backup into the "Add Automatically to iTunes" folder. The season is back in my iTunes library, but not in my purchased list.
         The problem is that I can't download it to my iPod from iCloud. I could sync my iPod from iTunes, but most of the time I don't have my Mac with me. I would like to have the season back as if it was purchased normally, and I would like to know if there's a way that I could have it in 1080p.
         If anyone could help me to do so, or tell what I did wrong; I will be very grateful.

    This may help

    As far as the TV series being in 1080p then that is upto the content provider and some older seasons are in 720p or only SD eg Stargate
    It may well be that the season you want is only available in 720p

  • Using Time Machine to transfer Logic and Plugins to a new Mac

    Hey there folks,
    I'm about to invest in a new Mac Pro to upgrade from my Imac 2010 Quad Core Intel I7.  I just have a question regarding using time machine to restore my settings that were on my Imac to the Mac Pro...
    I've heard that time machine backs up everything, but i've also heard that it might not back up things like all my Logic 3rd party plugins (Waves stuff for example).  And i will have to enter in all the serial no's again etc...does anyone know if this is the case?  Will i have to reinstall Logic 9 and all my plugins again?  Or will time machine backup the Applications and plugins so i can use them straight away?
    Many thanks!

  • ICal and iCloud issues on new BT ISP

    My iCloud and iCal Calanders were working fine until last week when I switched to a new broadband provider (BT or British Telecom) and a new router supplied by them.
    Now I find a small warning triangle in iCal next to my calendar name, clicking on it reveals an error message saying "The request for account "ICloud" failed. I have signed out of iCloud but I am now unable to sign back in, a message appears saying "you can't sign in at this time, try again".
    iCloud syncing has failed on my iphone 3, MBP and my iMac.
    I'm guessing this has something to do with my new WiFi set up or being on a new server with my new ISP. Unfortunately I do not know where to start to resolve this issue. Any advice?
    I'm using Mavericks (10.9.5) on the iMac and 10.8.5 on the MBP. Help! this is affecting my work.

    I forgot about the home/sleep button hold-down option.  Worth a try.  --But it didn't work for this problem.
    Still have the green app saying there are 26 (already read) messages waiting.
    Any other ideas?
    (and thanks so much for the quick replies!!)

  • HT5625 My setting icon is gone and all my contacts are gone and cant sign in to any mail and icloud what do i do?

    Have you checked what your sync setting in iTunes are?

  • Firefox start like it has just installed (checks add-ones and open whats new tab) after every windows restart

    i installed the 6.0.2 recently i am not really like this it started to be annoying every time i start firefox after reboot it start checking add-ones capability and open what's new tab as if i just installed it

    i solved it by deleting user.js file it works fine now

  • When opening, firefox keeps checking if my extensions work in new verision, and shows me what's new page.

    As the title says, every time I start Firefox, it thinks that the update is new. Checks extensions and shows what's new page.

    Did you try to delete the prefs.js file and a possible user.js file?
    It is also possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    Some security software has virtualization features that can cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
