Posting PDF and other Documents to new iCloud site

I have "upgraded" to iCloud, and I keep reading about posting/sharing documents of ALL types...not just iWork documents. But, HOW do you post anything else but an iWork document to the website for sharing or just your own use on another computer. As long as the iDisk is going to the dogs, I am trying to prepare to have things available in another way. I HATE all of this new Apple hype about what the products can do, but no instruction anywhere on HOW TO DO IT!!

I appreciate your perspective, but read the other posts here too. The "ridiculous" part is that this whole upgrade happened and I have spent HOURS on the phone and online with regard to it and the fact that it was not planned well. Consider this:
The Apple servers could not handle the iOS5 traffic. My phone was totallly disabled for hours by the process (put into "recovery mode") so not only did I have to keep trying to get the upgrade, but, in the process, NOTHING worked on my phone. I spent at least an hour on this phone call to Apple.
There was nothing intelligible on the web about how to do anything in iCloud! I know it's changed in the past 48 hours, but there were more calls.
Then, my iDisk would not sync. After another frustrating phone call, I was told by a "technician" that I would no longer be able to use/sync iDisk since I had switched to iCloud, and that I had to manually upload my documents through a website connection he gave me. If you don't believe any of this, I saved a transcript of my entire computer-based chat with him. After more hours, I discovered that when I updated my 2nd computer at the office, the iDisk could sync again!
It has gone on and on like this for me (I'm in Canada) since Wednesday night. I should not have had to spend all this time and so many phone calls/computer chats with Apple to get the information that should have been there from the start. They claimed to be surprised that so many people were all trying to do this at the same time. What the heck did they expect?
My anger is about the fact that I don't want to work now on an iPad and I certainly don't want to work on documents on my iPhone. I like my computer (Macbook Pro) and I like Microsoft Office. Don't tell me overnight to start using iWork and that everything has to go through an iOS. That's what is ridiculous. At least give me that choice, but let me feel that I can also keep iDisk, or its equivalent. I have now paid for storage on Dropbox...just in case!

  • How can I back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account without losing any data?

    Hello
    Before Mountain Lion comes out I want to create a new iCloud account because I don't want to use the @me.com email that I created with my current iCloud account. I want to create an entirely new account with a new @me.com email address. I use iCloud to back up my iPhone, iPod and am signed into it on my mac. Basically I want to back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account and not lose any data. Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks so much for any help.

    Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
    Then back up manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to the new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • How can I attach j-pegs and other documents to an email unopened and stop each them taking up a whole page of my email ?

    How can I attach j-pegs and other documents to an email unopened and stop each them taking up a whole page of my email ?

    In addition to the last poster's suggestion  -  just so you know, it also depends on the email program the recipient uses as to how they will see any attachments - for instance, when I am using my Yahoo Mail, I am absolutely unable to view any attachment within the browser window - Yahoo forces me to download it; there is no way for me to check it (like a preview) to see if I want to download it or not.
    And, FWIW: the window shown in the screenshot does not show on my version of Mail 5.1 (which is the latest for 10.7.2); the only one similar shows when viewing a message received with an attachment, not while sending one. So that must be a different version.

    Drag them to your iTunes library.  Download the free iBooks app.  Select the PDFs you want too sync in the iTunes books pane.  The iBooks app will show your books collection or your PDFs collection as you select.

  • Photosmart C6180 prints too many copies of PDFs and HTML-documents

    Hi,
    My Photosmart C6180 prints multiple copies of documents even if I haven't asked for it. This seems to only apply to PDFs and HTML-documents, I haven't seen it happen with Word/Excel. It's not consistent, it happens most of the time but now always for these documents. When I look at the console, when it has started printing I see shortly the status "Printing - Restarting". That's probably when it starts the 2nd copy. Sometimes it stops by itself, other times it seems to be looping and I have to turn the printer off and delete the document from the queue.
    HP solution center SW is updated, I run Vista with latest service packs on a Thinkpad T400s.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    My C6180 printed multiple copies of any document from my Vista OS laptop ( wireless connection ), but not from my
    XP OS desktop ( USB connection), even though I selected 1 copy on the print menu. Unchecking "Enable bidirectional support" in the Properties / Ports dialog box solved the problem. Hope this helps someone too.

  • Storing PDF and Word document in oracle database

    any idea, how to store PDF and word document using oracle database.
    thanks

    The common approach is store as BLOB in database, use DBMS_LOB package to handle the loading and reading, sample script source asktom

  • PDF and other doc viewing

    The ability to view PDF (and other files) as email attachments is a good start, but I really need more.
    Especially with respect to PDF files, I want to be able to store and open these separately from Mail, have the iPhone remember the last page I was on for each document and provide some sort of jump to page feature.
    Also, for PDF files which have internal links, these should work...
    perhaps a "Docs" app like Photos that lets us sync documents with selected folders on our Mac...

    Email notoriously damages PDF files, so I'd recommend using a Dropbox or similar approach as standard.
    The causes of corruption can be very hard to track down and can include subtle incompatibilities between email programs, size limits, failure of email programs to treat PDFs as binary, and automatic processing of email, such as corporate signatures or antispam.

  • Urgent Help Regarding PDF and Word Document Downloading

    Many Thanks Shaik for you humble help. Actually now what I did in the past 3 days,
    I used Oracle Intermedia to store my PDF and Word Documents in the database using Oracle SQL Loader. Then I used PL/SQL Server Pages and Oracle Web Toolkit for the downloading of my documents.
    Now the problem is I saved all my formatted documents in the databse and for retrieval I am using following code in my stored procedure
    * Select BLOB Data
    select blob_data into myblob from mytable where blob_name = name;
    Setup headers which describes the content
    owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
    htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.get_length(myblob));
    owa_util.http_header_close;
    Initiate Direct BLOB download
    wpg_docload.download_file(myblob);
    end;
    The structure of the mytable table:
    create table mytable
    doc_id varchar2(128),
    doc_name varchar2(128),
    blob_data blob
    But when it prompt the client to download the file actually it gives the junk file name like 'B104ea56' (which i understand is the address of the blob address). What I want is to show the "SAVE AS" download box with the proper document name which is stored in my field in the following way
    1 SALES.PDF
    2 PLANNING.PDF
    3 MANUAL.DOC
    4 STANDARD.TXT
    If I set the MIME type for the file format than it automatically starts download the file to the client browser, that I do not want, It should ask the user to download with the proper document name.
    Waiting consiously for your help
    Regards

    Presumedly you'd like those documents being accessiable by users as well, so they should be put on a web server, ftp or nfs sharing. You can just add the urls to those documents, or the directory they are in, into robot system as starting points and let robot run to collect them.

  • How can I delete videos and other things uploads to icloud ?

    How can I delete videos and other things uploads to icloud ?

    If these are purhased movies they are not stored in your iCloud account and cannot be deleted.  They are stored in the iTunes store.  What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased movies, allowing you to redownload them.
    If you don't want to see these in the Videos app, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn Videos off under Show All.
