Please Help! Broken IMac iCloud advice needed

Hi guys
Quite a complicated one but I appreciate all advice.
I currently have and iPhone 4 iPad 2 and had a 1st gen intel iMac until it passed away last week. Apple store stated it was beyond economic repair. I had roughly 230gb of data media etc on the iMac backed up to time machine.
ATM I cannot afford to replace the iMac and it never had iCloud capability
My question is: can I somehow send all my iMac backup to iCloud from the time machine back up so it can be accessed by my phone and iPad? Also if this was possible would all my media 80gb music 20gb pictures go to iCloud 
If there are any ways or alternatives to this I would appreciate the advice
Regards
Chris

You cannot send the backup files from your time machine to the iCloud. An iCloud has only 5GB of memory maximum and it is used to share files between devices. 
There are two possibilities:
1) You used the time capsule software and your back up appears on the time machine as one file only. In this case, you need to buy a new Mac to retrieve the files.
2) You saved your files into the time machine as if it was a hard drive. Thus, you can see all your files on the time machine even if you connect to it with a PC. In that case, you can plug an external hard drive via USB to the time capsule and with any computer/mac copy the files from the capsule to the hard drive.
You can be happy that you haven't lost all your files: they are all in your time machine.
I hope this helps.

    Please help, my iMac is running slow and plenty of memory available? I tried reading some of these forums to see what to do, I have already deleted all of my downloads that were stored in the downloads file. Not sure what to do next, I ran the etrecheck and here is the following info from the scan:

    So I looked up the info on OWC as suggested and found the correct memory to upgrade but not sure how much to get and which option? I wanted to know how much space I have available to upgrade so I don't buy something that's more than what can be used. I'm not sure if I need 4GB or 8GB of ram? Also there are two options with every memory choice for instance:
    8.0GB PC3-10600 1333MHZ SO Kit (4GB + 4GB) w/Lifetime Limited Warranty
    Same Day
    $78.79
    8.0GB PC3-10600 SO-DIMM 204 Pin w/Lifetime Limited Warranty
    Same Day
    $82.79
    Not sure what the difference is in the two and which I would need to purchase? Thank you for all your help!

  • My iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

    my iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

    What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

    Please help, my iMac will not start up, the apple comes up and the wheel goes round but then I am left with a blank white screen. Has anyone any ideas.

    Locate your original install disk (it's grey) and use it to restart your iMac by holding the "C" key during startup. Use the disk utility to repair your harddrive.

    Both Memory Clean and Clean My Mac could have cause the damage which triggered the kp.
    I would back up your Mac, erase and reinstall. Then Migrate your user data from the backup.
    Uninstalling Tuxera is a troubleshooting process. You don't have to keep it uinstalled, just long enough to test to see if it is causing the problems.
    However, if it doesn't happen regularly, it would be hard to determine if it was the cause.  And, as I mentioned, I don't think it would be the cause.

    The RAM has either gone bad or somehow become unseated. Also there is the chance that the RAM slots have failed.

  • Please Help My Daughter - iBook G4 Needs Software Upgrade ??

    I have recently inherited an iBook G4 1.2 GHZ 256 RAM I think 30 or 50 GB.  I cannot tell now because of what I did.  The iBook was not working and I found it had a bad solder on one of the chips (a common issue on this model).  Once repaired, it needed a new battery, and then it sprang right to life.  The iBook worked great - I could use Safari, Garage Band, etc, but due to it's age, Itunes did not work and so I thought if I reinstalled the original operating system (Panther 10.3.5 circa 2004) from the original discs, then I could upgrade from there until I found an iTunes version I could use with a newly reset iPod I had and use it basically just for music.  BIG MISTAKE. After I cleanly installed it all, I now cannot use Safari, profiler won't open and neither will most other applications - I double click them, they flash once and then go away on the sidebar.  So, I need to find a way to upgrade this machine past 10.3.5 so I can get it to work.  Right now, I can only get to the internet using ie for Mac 5.2 - UGH !!! Now I know why Apple stopped using that software.  Anyway, I was doing all of this to get a clean version of iTunes on it so as a surprise, my daughter could sell it and the iPod to raise money for a class trip she is taking to New York in the Spring of 2015.  Please please help me.  Is it as simple as getting updated OS software? I have tried a Tiger disc, but it stopped before it really even got started and said it could not be loaded.    I can see the previous user still has files under user and I can see the folder for the previous system, but they are not accessible. I do have a 27" Mac desktop if that will help me to upgrade the iBook in any way.  Thank you for reading all of this.  Please let me know what options I might have to get this running so it can be sold off. IBook

    256 MB RAM is the biggest problem.

  • Please help - broken 5900FX - RMA required

    Can you please help me - I need to rma my 5900fx td as it no longer works properly. I get vertical lines every other time or chequered patterns all over the screen. Can you advise. I've had the card for a couple of months. I've got the box and all the contents although I appear to have mislaid the original receipt.
    To add, it's been 'iffy' from the first day, although I put this down to cooling. So I gave it extra cooling via a papst fan mounted on a zalman bracket and this helped temporarily. Although now, it boots every other time and I get a few minutes use before the picture dies completely or I get artifacts or corruption.
    Thanks

    Hi, sad to hear about your FX5900 dying out on you.
    Where did you pruchase it? Was it online.?
    Try to work with reputable merchants when sending stuff back is not a problem.
    Also online merchants sometimes need no RMA just send it back.
    Try to make the card look stock without any evidence of tampering.
    Call the contact me number in the support area.

  • Movies won't load onto iTunes! Please help me, desperately seeking advice

    Hey all.
    I just bought a new macbook and new 60g iPod and can't watch movies on my pod.
    I try to move them into iTunes and nothing happens, won't drag and drop, won't work if I try import or try to crtl click open with. Just zero happens. I have also tried converting them with iSquint into ipod compatible movies and still nothing. They just won't go anywhere near iTunes. It simply acts as though nothing has happened.
    However, my friend was able to put videos onto my ipod from his old iBook.
    So frustrating, i bought this new computer so things would work properly and so far not so good.
    I have iTunes 7.0.1 and current ipod updater installed on iTunes
    Could someone please help me before I tear my hair out!!

    What you need to do is download a movie file converter to convert your movies to mp4 which is the ipod format. I use one called "ipodvideoconverter" just google it and you'll find one that works. Just a heads up though... it usually takes 3-5 hours to convert a 2 hour movie.

  • Please help! iMac randomly disconnects from internet. Wi-fi via BT hub. I am baffled by all of the suggestions when I google this problem! Any simple solution? Thanks!

    Please Help! My brand new imac randomly disconnects from the internet. We have a BT hub - wi-fi. I have googled this issue and see that it is relatively common and it is incredibly frustrating. sadly, I have been unable to wade through the suggestions others have had as to how to solve the problem as i have no technical knowledge and am basically baffled by the list of suggestions. Please can anyone explain why this happens and what to do? It is fairly simple to reconnect each time but it is driving me mad having to. It generally happens when the computer is asleep but sometimes in the middle of doing something. Thanks!!!!!!

    What frequency, security are you running? It would have been helpful if you specified in the first post.
    Did you create a new Location in System Preferences->Network pane, Location pull-down. Create a new custom named Location. Then after you create that new Location click on the 'Apply' button to save that new custom named Location. See if that helps.
    Lastly a lot of people have reported that WEP in lion is problmatic and it would be better to use WPA2 if you can.

  • Please help me... i need some code

    Hi, i am new to Java programming, but i have a dillema. I am trying to teach myself how to use Link Lists, and have been successful in the implementation, except for adding code to delete a node. If someone would please email me to help, i would really appreciate it. I will send my code i have so far, and i just need someone to write a delete method for me. Please help, i am so frustrated, i just want to see a working example. thanks. my email address is [email protected]
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, good idea. I am writing a program that adds 7 CD objects to a LinkList, and then prints the list. Then it removes any two, and prints the list again. I have three classes though, so ill try to make it as readable as possible:
    Here is the class which sets up the Compact disc object:
    public class CompactDisc
    private String title
    // Sets up the new CompactDisc with its title.
    public CompactDisc (String newTitle)
    title = newTitle;
    // Returns this CD as a string.
    public String toString ()
    return title;
    Here is the class with the CD list:
    public class CDList
    private CDNode list;
    // Sets up an initially empty list of cds
    public CDList()
    list = null;
    // Creates a new CDNode object and adds it to the end of
    // the linked list.
    public void add (CompactDisc cd)
    CDNode node = new CDNode (cd);
    CDNode current;
    if (list == null)
    list = node;
    else
    current = list;
    while (current.next != null)
    current = current.next;
    current.next = node;
    public void delete(CompactDisc cd)
    // HERE IS WHERE I NEED THE CODE!!!!
    // Returns this list of CDs as a string.
    public String toString ()
    String result = "";
    CDNode current = list;
    while (current != null)
    result += current.compactdisc + "\n";
    current = current.next;
    return result;
    // An inner class that represents a node in the CD list.
    // The public variables are accessed by the CDList class.
    private class CDNode
    public CompactDisc compactdisc;
    public CDNode next;
    // Sets up the node
    public CDNode (CompactDisc CD)
    compactdisc = CD;
    next = null;
    And here is the Driver Class:
    public class CDRack
    // Creates a CDList object, adds several CDs to the
    // list, then prints it.
    public static void main (String[] args)
    CDList rack = new CDList();
    rack.add (new CompactDisc("The Four Seasons")); // Vivaldi
    rack.add (new CompactDisc("Caught Somewhere In Time")); // Iron Maiden
    rack.add (new CompactDisc("New York City Underground Mix")); // Louie Devito
    rack.add (new CompactDisc("Whoracle")); // In Flames
    rack.add (new CompactDisc("Straight Outa' Compton")); // NWA
    rack.add (new CompactDisc("Elegy")); // Amorphis
    rack.add (new CompactDisc("Butterfly")); // Mariah Carey
    System.out.println (rack); // initially print the entire list
    System.out.println ("Deleting a node from the list");
    // code goes here to delete a node (e.g.. rack.delete(somenode); )
    System.out.println(rack); print the list with two nodes deleted
    Please help me with this. I would prefer if someone could just add the method and corresponding call to make the program delete. Then i would observe the code, and hopefully learn something. thanks.
