Option to exclude files from getting backed up on iCloud on iOS

A new property, preventBackup is introduced in the File API, which when set prevents a file or a folder from getting backed up on the iCloud. This property works on iOS 5.1 devices and later.
Another static property, File.cacheDirectory has been added, which points to the

Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library. 
NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album.  Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes.  In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

  • How do I prevent files from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?

    I have created the ios app using adobe AIR16 and flash cc. After submission of my aap into aapstore, I received a message from Apple with the following message –
    From Apple
    2.23 - Apps must follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines or they will be rejected.
    By using xcode we can prevent files from being backed up to icloud and itunes, but i want to know that  what is the way to achieve this by using AIR. While creating an explicit app id from apple developer account , i am not enabling icloud support.

    Within AIR you can set the File.preventBackup property to true on a directory or file to prohibit that content from being backed up to the cloud:

    This is all you need to call when you first create the folder or file to have it work with iOS backup guidelines.

  • When using Time Machine, if I delete items from my computer, will they still be backed up to access later on my external hard drive? In other words, when time machine backs up again, will it delete the files from the back up?

    When using Time Machine, if I delete items from my computer, will they still be backed up to access later on my external hard drive? 
    In other words, when time machine backs up again, will it delete the files from the back up that I have deleted from my computer?

    No, I do not believe so. Time Machine would keep all those now-deleted files in previous backups, and as time goes by those backups might be deleted if you needed room, but it would still keep one backup from each day in last month, as well as one from each week forever, as long as you don't start running out of room, then just the oldest would be deleted to make room if needed.
    I use a backup drive about double the size of my drive to be backed up, so I would guess it will never get to the point where deleted files being replaced by new ones being backed fill up that drive to the point where backups actually have to get deleted.

  • How do I FTP files from a security camera to iCloud so they can be retrieved back to my MacBook Pro whenever I connect when travelling?

    Do you want to watch the live feed of your secutiry cameras or recorded footage?
    In either case, I don't think iCloud is your solution.
    For the first one, check with your security camera software, they usually have this option of broadcasting, so you'll know how to access it.
    For the later, you should use something like Dropbox (www.dropbox.com), since iCloud file sharing is, up to this date, app restricted.
    Hope it helps.

  • Is there a way to exclude files from source paths using patterns

    Hi
    Does anyone know of any way to exclude files from source paths using patters rather than individually selecting the files? UI doesn't allow to specify any pattern. But if you look at the jpr file there are other places where patterns are allowed. Can the same pattern be copied and applied to excluded files?
    Pat

    Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.

  • How do I access my encrypted User Account files from my Back Up hard drive?  Time Machine  was used to create the back up disk; File Vault was used to encrypt the files.

    How do I access my encrypted User Account files from my Back Up hard drive?  Time Machine  was used to create the back up disk; File Vault was used to encrypt the files.

    Thanks.  I will try going through TM.  Since my Simpletech is on the way out, I'll be plugging in a new external hard drive (other than the back-up drive) and trying to restore the library to the new drive.  Any advice or warning if this is NOT the right thing to do?
    Meanwhile, that is a great tip to do an alternate back-up using a different means.  It's been tough to figure out how to "preserve access" to digital images and files for posterity, knowing the hardware will always fail/obsolesce sooner or later, and that "clouds" are only as good as their consistent and reliable accessibility.  Upping the odds with redundancy will help dull the edge of my "access anxiety", though logically, it can never relieve it.  Will look into

  • Do voice memos get backed up to iCloud from my iPhone?

  • Apparently, my company email that I have on my ipad prevents me from manually backing up to icloud. Does this mean that icloud is being blocked entirely from my ipad?

    If my company email on my ipad blocks me from manually backing up to icloud, does this mean that icloud is being blocked from my ipad completely?

    I'm not sure if they can completely block iCloud if you have your own Apple ID. I assume that they just don't want their data backed up to Apple's cloud.
    But the more important point in this whole discussion is would the company be honked off at you for doing something on the iPad that they do not approve of.

  • HT4910 I have an iPhone 3GS, for some strange reasons only 45 contact are getting backed up on icloud instead of all contacts

    I have an iPhone 3GS, for some strange reasons only 45 contact are getting backed up on icloud instead of all the contacts.
    Can you please help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Try exporting and importing them in small bundles, there may be a problem with one or more specific cards. If you are able to isolate them, you could then import those particular cards manually.

  • How to delete time machine files from external back up drive?

    When connected to my Macbook I deleted some old backups to the trash.  When I try to empty trash, a message comes back saying there are locked files and files cannot be deleted.  I have turned off time machine, and tried to delete files but get the same message.  Time machine does not delete oldest file when space is needed.  How do I clear these files?  I'm trying to delete 2 years worth of backups.

    You can drag the Backups.backupdb folder to the Trash, hold down the option key, and try to empty, but often it doesn't work. In that case, you'll have to erase the volume and restore the non-backup data from a backup.

  • Why are my log files not getting backed up?

    I just tried to get some files from ~/Library/Logs but found that the entire Logs directory was not on Time Machine - looks like every thing else in ~/Library was there. I checked the exclusion list and it was not on there.
    I know that some ~/Library stuff gets backed up because I was recently able to find and restore some iCal events from about 4 months ago.
    Anybody know what gives? Is there any way to change this?
    Thx

    I checked and both /Library/Logs and ~/Library/Logs are on the exclusion list - now why doesn't Apple's help file discuss that?
    Now, that's funny! Apple's Help, while improved over the last few releases, is nowhere near complete. That's why some occasional tips turned into my 120+ page website, mostly about Time Machine, and several others have written entire books about OSX.
    By all means, tell them about it at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/timemachine.html
    Maybe if enough of us do that, they'll reconsider.
    My problem - as a software tester, I occasionally would like to ensure that logs for a particular app stay around during my test period - in this case, the app under test did an archive, but kept only the previous 5 logs as backups (and without a setting I had access to) - and, of course, I was looking for an earlier log.
    So, is there any way to tell Time Machine at the start of my testing period to save logs in specific ~/Librarary/Log subdirectory and then at the end of my testing period, tell TIme Machine to stop backing them up?
    Not directly, other than periodically copying them somewhere else. But the schedule and handling of the "rotation" of some can be altered, if you're comfortable with UNIX and Terminal. See the MAN pages for newsyslog and newsyslog.conf.

    How do I get all my music from iPod to Library?

    Pierre, South Dakota?  If so that's awesome.  Go South Dakota!
    Anyways, the first thing you can do is transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod Touch to your PC.  To do this, choose File -> Transfer Purchases in iTunes.  You should authorize your new PC before doing this by clicking the Store drop down menu and selecting Authorize this Computer. Then enter in your Apple ID/iTunes Store account credentials.
    For all other content that was not purchased from the iTunes store, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different software available to assist you with this task.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
    Finally, right->click on your iPod Touch under the Devices section in iTunes, and choose Backup.  Then after erasing and syncing your iPod, restore from that back up.  Or better yet, copy a backup from your old PC to your new one if at all possible. Here is more information on backing up and restoring your iPod .

  • If using 2 hard drives to for time machine backup is it possible to exclude files from one backup only??

    Hi,
    At work we have a network system that allows backup of everyones mac via time machine is there a way I can exclude certain files and directories from this backup without removing them from the private time machine backup that I have?
    Many thanks,
    Nick

    Time Machine is one app on your Mac, thus it will exclude the files on all back-ups.
