No Mobile Documents Folder Being Created on a 2007 MBP

This is just a observation regarding iCloud that someone might have a answer for but it's not imperative.
I'm running a MBP 2010 as well as a MBP 2007 and using the iCloud works since I've tested it out with Pages, were I uploaded a document from Pages on the 2010 and downloaded it onto the 2007 without a hitch other than having to verify my email address with Apple, but through all this the "Mobile Documents" folder was'nt created on the 2007 MBP but it has been on the 2010 MBP.

I'm not certain if there's a cause and effect here, but I was able to find the Mobile Documents folder on my iMac easily. But when I went to my MacBook, it was not there even though I had Lion on both with iCloud docs enabled. I tried everything and nothing worked. But before hitting the sack, I realized I had not yet set up "Mail" on the MacBook. I set that up with my accounts and just for the heck of it went back to the library and Mobile Documents was there. Not sure if this is related at all...but that was the only thing I did. Perhaps just a fluke but if you're like me, I was pulling my hair out. Relieved that a solution somehow appeared.

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:
10/23/11 8:39:41.312 PM librariand: changing log level to 5
10/23/11 8:39:41.526 PM librariand: collection does not match configured AppleID ([email protected]), removing existing collection

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
Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/40/38 2011
Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/49/10 2011
Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/49/10 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.

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!
Cheers Tobi

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....

Annoying, 'Your document is being created' notification

Just updated Acrobat Pro 9 and now get an annoying 'Your document is being created' notification in the bottom right corner of my screen. Even more annoying is a spinning icon that the notification is pointing to. All these darned bells and whistles! I know the document is being created... I did hit the print button didn't I? Anyone know how to turn off these silly notifications?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not create the Access app.
Based on the log message, some service application may not be created well.
You should double check whether the following service applications had been created well.
Access Services
Access Database Service 2010
App Management Service
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Subscription Settings Service
Secure Store Service
There is a similar thread for your reference.

Can iCloud documents in Mobile Documents folder be restored from a Time Machine backup?

Integration with iCloud seems much improved so far in Mountain Lion. Thanks, Apple! Just to be on the safe side, though: are documents stored in the ~/Library/Mobile Documents folder included in Time Machine backups, and fully restorable? This seemed a little uneven prior to Mountain Lion.
I just wanted to make sure that these documents are always backed up in case there is ever a problem with iCloud (or in case I simply make a mistake and an unintended change or deletion propogates across all my devices and I need to restore an earlier version).

Wow! It didn't occur to me that it would work this way, although of course it makes perfect sense—and it works. I just tried it.
It doesn't actually seem to work with older documents (I tried in Pages), and I'm not sure if that problem has to do with Mountain Lion, or previous versions of iWork apps, or both. But I tried it with a fresh document, deleted it restored it, and was able to use it. So finally it seems that iCloud works the way it should.
Thanks again.

Reasons for billing documents not being created ?

I am trying to create a billing document from a delivery (VF01). When I enter document number and save, it says 'no billing documents genereated, see the log'. Where to see the log and what do you think could be the possible reasons for billing document not being created ?
Thanks in advance,

In VL02 transaction, Its the 2nd button on the toolbar With an `!` mark on the icon along with triangle. CLick that button. It will display the errors bcz of which delivery is not created.
In VL01, goto EDIT-> LOG.
The explanation of errors is usually pretty detailed.

Content of my document folder being delete in windows 8,1

From couple of months all saved data in My Document folder is being delete repeatedly, its like the folder is flushing automatically. Please help me with this. Thank You

Or do you have any Synchronization Settings? I mean your document folder might sync with another folder (it's content is empty ) automatically in the background.
And tell us something about this document, is it in a local place or a network place ? Does this issue only happen in Document folder?
And if this is a redirected folder, then check this policy Move the contents of [FolderName] to the new location . This setting moves all the data the user has in the local folder to the shared folder on the network.
You can find more information about fodler redirection in the following link

New Temporary Internet Files folder being created.

For weeks I have been puzzled by new Temporary Internet Files,Cookies and History folders constantly reappearing in my Windows XP Local Settings/Temp folder.
My normal TIF etc folders are still functioning normally in Local Settings. So no harm is being done but it's been annoying the hell out of me.
Today, quite by chance, I've discovered that the culprit is Adobe Reader X. 10.1.2. The act of simply opening Reader immediately creates these TIF folders within my temp folder.
I say immediately but it does take about 15 seconds after Reader opens on the screen before the TIF folders appear in the temp folder.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can go about resolving it?
Many thanks.

While it is recommended to define your External Application URL via SSL (if possible), due to the requirement for the credentials to be posted from the client, the interim page has to be in the clear in order to post the values to the external server (the communication here will be encrypted via SSL). Short of turning off local caching of documents (not really a solution) there is no immediate solution, as even setting a "no-cache" directive on the page will not guarantee that it will not be cached (browsers do not always honour this!).
Never the less, if you are actually finding this to be an issue please log an enhancement request with Oracle Support. As there a significant period between posts I would be interested to know if people have actually run into this directly.

11.0.10 Update Issue - Problem saving documents - getting message "This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21)." The PDF documents are being created by Esker VSIFax and the problem is only occuring with updated vers

Our IBM Unix system uses a program called VSIFax (Esker) to create PDF documents such as invoices. Users that have updated to Acrobat version 11.0.10 can open the PDF but then when trying to save the document the get a message "This document could not be saved.

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

I am missing a folder called "Mobile Documents" for iCloud access

In today's (1/21/13) OSX daily, they talk about a cool, free utility/app called Plain Cloud at which gives easy desktop access and syncing to iCloud from the desktop like DropBox. They talk about a folder that’s inside the user Library folder called "Mobile Documents" which needs to be accessed. There is no folder by that name in either my user Library or System Library folder, or in fact anywhere on my drive and therefore when I try to run Plain Cloud, I get an error message saying that it "can't find iCloud folder". Since my iCloud is apparently set up properly and I can access it from icloud.com and thru iTunes, why would this "Mobile Documents" folder be missing from my user Library folder and how can I add it so I can use the Plain Cloud utility?
Thanks,
JAY

What do you mean access icloud through itunes?
Are you successfully able to sync some Apple data via itunes (like contacts or calendars)? If you haven't tried yet, it's possible your mac isn't yet connected to icloud (being able to access icloud.com means nothing in this case).
System Preferences>icloud, have you turned any of these services on and have you signed into icloud?

Auto Save folder not being created with new project

Just recently I've noticed that when I start a new project there is no auto save folder being created. I have all preferences the same (auto save every 10 min with a max of 50 and save next to project files). I have no idea why this started or what I can do to fix it.

So it seems to be working now. I went back through other projects that have been open for some time and the most recent auto save file I could find for any of them was from Oct. 8th. So auto save hasn't been working at all. What I did was go into preferences and change the interval a little and the frequency from where I had had it since intial set up. That seemed to have told it to turn it back on for some reason. It's really weird. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it, but people may want to check there folders just in case the same issue is happening. I didn't realize it until today and it's been happening for a couple of weeks apparently.

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.)

Move Mobile Apps Folder To External Drive?

Hi guys,
I've got a MacBook Pro running Lion with all the latest software / updates. This has become my secondary machine (since buying a lovely 27" iMac), and I'm using iTunes Match to keep both the MacBook Pro and iMac's iTunes libraries in sync.
Now that I sync my iPhone and iPad to the iMac, I don't have much need for the Mobile Apps folder on my MacBook Pro. I have a lot of apps, so my Mobile Apps folder is ~50 gigs, and it's suddenly one of the larger items on the MacBook Pro's drive. Would it be possible to relocate this folder to my external drive for the MacBook Pro? I found an older suggestion (to move the Mobile Apps folder, and create a shortcut in the iTunes folder pointing back to me new location), but this didn't work at all.
Is this do-able? As as alternate, can I just delete all the Apps from my MacBook Pro's iTunes library (from within the app) without screwing up the syncing or (via iTunes Match) inadvertantly deleting them all from the iMac as well?
Thanks!

How to use an SSD with your HDD
If you are going to use an SSD as a boot drive together with your existing HDD as the "data" drive, here's what you can do.
After installing the SSD you will need to partition and format the SSD using Disk Utility. Then, install OS X on the SSD. After OS X has been installed boot from the SSD. Use Startup Disk preferences to set the SSD as the startup volume.
Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your user account listing in the sidebar and select Advanced Options from the context menu.
You will see a field labeled "Home dir:" At the right end you will see a Change button. Click on it. In the file dialog locate the Home folder now located on the HDD (HDD/Users/account_name/.) Select the folder, click on Open button. Restart the computer as directed.
When the computer boots up it will now be using the Home folder located on the HDD.
Another more technical method involving the Terminal and aliases is discussed in depth here: Using OS X with an SSD plus HDD setup - Matt Gemmell. This is my preferred approach because I can select which of the Home's folders I want on the HDD and which I don't want. For example, I like to keep the Documents and Library folders on the SSD because I access their content frequently.
Be sure you retain the fully bootable system on your HDD in case you ever need it.

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.
