No Mobile Documents file

Everything is working perfectly in iCloud, but I have no 'Mobile Documents' file to use as a storage location.
How is that possible? How do I get such a file?
Goos Bakker.

Thank you for your prompt response!. Yes, I know. But looking in the 'invisible'  folders there is still no folder of that name but I read somewhere it should be there. So I assume this folder is not nescesary. Probably it is not possible to create such a file.
Regards, Goos Bakker.

  • If I delete a file in iCloud, what happens to the local file in ~/Library/Mobile Documents ?

    If I delete a file in iCloud, what happens to the local file in ~/Library/Mobile Documents ? Does it get deleted to?
    Hope somebody can help.
    Thx.

    I'm pretty certain that it gets deleted as well. If you try and open that mobile documents folder, it takes you to the iCloud drive folder. I've been searching for this same issue for the last 24 hours also as I inadvertently deleted my Keynote files stored on iCloud drive thinking I was just temporarily deleting Keynote from my iPad when upgrading to the latest iOS 8 version. (I needed space and thought, "Oh, I'll just reinstall later... Turns out I was in the iCloud storage area, not in my iPad storage area at the time and therefore deleted all my iCloud stored presentations. From every device.)

  • Weird delays opening files related to Mobile Documents folder

    This is a very weird situation. With iCloud enabled, I get a weird delay when opening files.
    What happens:
    I open basically any sort of file (word, pages, zip file, etc).
    I will get the spinning beachball for 5-10 seconds and cannot interact with the program in any way.
    The following appears in the System Log:

    In addition, each time this happens it seems to create an additional "Mobile Documents" folder in ~/Library/, see below:
    Mobile Documents
    Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/39/41 2011
    Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/39/41 2011

    This issue occurs whether or not I have "Documents & Data" selected for sync in iCloud preferences.
    Interestingly enough, if I immediately open another file after this occurs, the issue does not happen again right away. However, if I wait about two minutes and open one, it does occur every time.
    (Note: My acount name and email address have been replaced with "username" but the log is otherwise unaltered)

    I have the exact same problem.  It's been driving me crazy ever since I "upgraded" to Lion.  I finally traced it to iCloud and the Mobile Documents folder using Console, which lead me here.
    Any time I launch Pages, QuickTime, or TextEdit (TextEdit, really?), the first file I try to open gives me the spinning beachball of death for about 10 seconds before I can do anything.
    I did numerous searches regarding the spinning beach ball of death in relation to those apps and found nothing germaine before I specifically searched for "collection does not match configured AppleID." This makes me think that a lot of other people are having this problem who just haven't discovered this thread.
    I will try disabling "Documents & Data" but an actual fix would be greatly appreciated.  "It just works" has not applied to many aspects of iCloud.  I thought MobileMe had its issues, but iCloud is a mess in my personal experience, well beyond this issue.  I appreciate the potential and am clinging to some faith in Apple, but Lion and iCloud have been REALLY testing my patience.  Snow Leopard was a rock.  This all seems like beta software hastily ported from iOS.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    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.

  • The iCloud Drive folder in Library/Mobile Documents is taking up way too much space on my startup disk.

    The iCloud Drive folder in Library/Mobile Documents is taking up way too much space on my startup disk
    I was hoping my files would stay in the cloud and not take up a ton of space on my machine (only a 128gb SSD).  But while performing an overnight time machine backup I came back to find a "Startup Disk Full" error message.  I only have about 20gb used locally but over 200gb in iCloud Drive at the moment.
    Is there a way to clear the cache so my files stay on iCloud and not hogging space on my SSD? Or a way to redirect this library to my 2nd hard drive?
    I'm using a 15" mid-2012 Macbook Pro with a 1TB hard drive and I've replaced the optical drive with a 128gb SSD for my OS (which is where my library is, hence the difficulty).
    Thank you!

    While puttering around after posting this I think I found my personal solution here: http://macs.about.com/od/diyguidesprojects/qt/Move-Your-Home-Folder-To-A-New-Loc ation.htm
    I'm just going to move my home folder to my 2nd internal 1TB hard drive to solve my problem.
    But my question remains, how can we minimize the amount of local space iCloud Drive ***** up?  I wanted to get the rumored new macbook air that might come out next year but this is a big turn off if iCloud drive is going to overwhelm the SSD in the AIr.

  • Where can I find unsaved Pages documents? (default storage iCloud -- Former "mobile documents" folder)

    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!

    Hi
    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....

  • SAP Mobile Documents buttons missing

    Hi gurus,
    I have installed SAP Mobile Documents server, and mobile applications on devices are working as expected, but web app is not showing action buttons (create, share, delete ...) when a file is selected, only info properties icon (with letter i shows up) and there is no logon info or help buttons in the upper right corner of the screen.
    Does anyone have an idea, what could be the problem? Version of MCM server is SP2 patch3.
    BR, Igor

    Hi,
    looking at the screenshot (especially the weird looking checkboxes to the left of the items of the table), it seems that the UI5 Version is not the one we need. You should at least have UI5 Version 1.16.5. You can find out which version is used if you press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+P. A popup should get displayed, showing some general information about UI5.
    Best Regards,
    Ingo

  • Can I delete the folder (Mobile Documents) on my Mac?

    I just wanna the Pages document in the Cloud, not on my Mac… I wanna do the download on the iPad. Just like iTunes Match. I have the reference (doc icon to download) but the the file. For files dmg.txt and the how others? Maybe in the System Preferences uncheck Documents & Data? That's it? I just wanna use the iPad to sync Pages docs, the dmg.txt files only in the cloud to download? Is this possible?
    thanks

    Sorry. When you said you "unchecked iCloud Mail," I thought you were not wanting to use it on your Mac.
    To answer your original question, I don't know whether you can delete the Mobile Documents folder from your Mac. Or rather, I don't know what might happen if you do. Better have a couple of good backup copies of your boot volume before you try it. (A good idea for anything that requires "sudo" even if you have researched it thoroughly.)

  • 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
    Dayle

    Hi,
    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

  • Does anyone know how to change the location of Library/Mobile Documents?

    Several months ago I decided to try a Solid state drive and during the process for space reasons I relocated my home folder to another internal drive.  Last week I decided to get rid of the solid state and replace it with the original 750 gig drive I had and move my home folder back to this (my system) drive.  During the process of moving my home folder the first time I had partitioned that drive in to 3 parts so that I could use part of it as a backup for my system drive.
    I now want to erase that drive and reset it back to a single partition.  I am unable to erase and/or repartition because I can't unmount the partition that contained my old home folder.  I was able to put it in the trash and erase the contents it but everytime I restart my computer a new home folder (by name only as it does not have the house icon) is created on the old partition with the following folders:
    User Folder
         Library
              Mobile Documents.
    I thought it was Icloud related so I tried turning off Icloud and trashing this folder but still was unable to unmount the partition or drive and upon rebooting (even with Icloud off) the folder reappeared.  I'm at a loss as to what to try to do now.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    1. boot from Install DVD
    2. open Disk Utility
    3. Select the hard drive from left hand column (NOT partition but drive, eg something like WDBEVE and not s03 etc).
    4. Click on Partition tab in main window
    5. Select "Current"
    6. Select partition you wish to delete
    7. Click on minus sign on bottom left
    8. Confirm Delete
    9. Drag original partition to include full disk
    10. Confirm resize
    That's it! Reboot and you're done.

  • Finder got an error: Can't get item 1 of {document file "foo" ...}

    I have a lot of files in Corel Painter 8's RIFF format. I want to write a script that opens a file and somehow forces Corel Painter 8 to save the file as a GIF. GUI scripting may be some help with the latter; now I am concentrating on finding RIFF files and opening them in Corel Painter 8.
    I have a script that does a depth-first search of the folders starting at some root folder, using the Finder application to do the file-system stuff. It creates a list with
    set docs to every document file of pages_folder whose file type = "RIFF"
    as it loops through folders it adds to the list like this:
    set more_documents to every document file of a_folder whose file type = "RIFF"
    set docs to docs & more_documents
    My naîve mental model is that docs is a list of document-file objects. Next I have a loop that attempts to strip out files for which a GIF file already exists (and is no older than the RIFF document). This works by deleting non-matching items like so:
    if not isgifneeded then
    set docs to items 1 thru (i - 1) of docs & items (i + 1) thru (length of docs) of docs
    end if
    Finally it tries to open one of the files in Corel Painter 8 using the Finder:
    open item 1 of docs using "Corel Painter 8"
    This does not work. I get an error message
    Finder got an error: Can't get item 1 of {document file "bar" of folder "foo" of folder "blah" of folder "pdc" of folder "Users" of startup disk, ... }."
    It lists all of the files. (The error message appears in a sheet that extends off the bottom of the screen!) They are identified in the message as document-file objects. The curly braces are, I believe, the AppleScript notation for a list. I expect to be able to obtain the first element of a list with ‘item 1 of xs’. My assumption is that the Finder’s open command would expect a document file object, or at least would be able to cope with being asked to open a document. What am I missing here?

    Hi Damian and welcome to Apple Discussions!
    One suggestion: try
    tell application "Finder" to open item 1 of docs
    (without 'using "Corel Painter 8"')
    As far as the Finder is concerned, "Corel Painter 8" is just a string of characters. And telling the Finder to open a file is just the same as double-clicking it: the Finder knows which app to use - as long as these are native Corel Painter 8 docs.
    Hope this helps,

  • How do I move song files from the documents file to iTunes?

    I have a bunch of songs in the AIFF format in my documents file. I'd like to move them to my iTunes library, but I must be doing something wrong--many times. Since expecting different results from doing the same thing is a definition of stupidity, I have to ask for help instead of trying the same thing for the 42nd time.

    Use File -> Add to Library and navigate to the
    files you wish to select. You can also select a
    contiguous block by holding down the shift key as you
    click from first to last item in a list. Then press
    the "select" button. You aiff files should be added
    to the iTunes library
    Moriond,
    It worked! and on my first try. And all at one time. Thanks a million. I still have to delete all the AIFF files and name the songs and artists in my iTunes library, but I'll do that tomorrow. For now, I'll just close out my day with this great achievement, thanks to you.
