Preview and iCloud Related Questions

What am I missing here...
What's the point of having Preview with iCloud if I can't view it on my other devices like iPad/iPhone?
App with iCloud integration doesn't seem to function with folks who have a "lot" of documents.  For example, I have a folder with ~50 files organizaed into 4 sub-folders, but moving to iCloud and Pages I now have a flat file system in a single folder.  Is this really the future?
iCloud doesn't make sense for say a work Project effort where you would have multiple file formats or types for a single project (word, excel, numbers, pages, keynote, powerpoint, visio, etc).  I take it this isn't what iCloud is really intended for?  I would need to spread my single project out across multiple app folders?
Maybe it's me but it still seems half-baked and not really thought out regarding how people actually "work".

You have to turn on iCoud Photo Library
On your phone: Settings > iCloud > Photos > turn on iCloud Photo Library
This will upload any photos you take on your phone to the iCloud Photo Library (different than iCloud Drive).
Now when you sign into iCloud.com you will see Photos. From there you can upload photos from your computer.
They will still take up room on your phone but you can optimize it in the Photos section of the iCloud settings (Settings > iCloud > Photos)

    Preview allows me to save to iCloud. How do I view it and retrieve it?

  • Some Kernel and optimization related questions

    Last monday I asked about what was the best way to compile a kernel to apply a patch ( solving an hibernation resuming problem). Using the ABS turned to be an easy solution with a shiny patched kernel that works GREAT. Yestertay, I tried e4rat in order to speed up my boot process, wich now takes 1 min or so from burg to kde4 with Chrome, Eclipse, Spideroak and Dropbox all full loaded and functional on my laptop when before using E4rat that took nearly 3-4 minutes.
    Laptop specs: Fujitsu Esprimo Mobile V6535 --> Intel T4300, 4 GB 800MHz DDR2 RAM, Intel GMA 4500M, atheros wifi chipset. Non-laptop related hardware (if needed to have in mind) Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 and Lifechat LX3000 headset, Logitech G5 mouse.
    Currently the laptop is my main computer and used to internet-browsing, programming and sometimes to watch movies. No games.
    I really enjoyed all the tweaking involved on the last week with the kernel patching and e4rat, so I want more.
    Ok then, I was going to try readahead ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Readahead ) and then I see that on the AUR there are some packages related to it, and this is the point when the questions come:
    1) The article on the wiki points out to readahead-list, but there what seems to me another implementation, readahead-fedora. To me it seems obvious that the implementation may be different, but, what are the differences betweent the two?
    2) what has to do ureadahead with the two said before? Plus, what is the point with the package description? "ureadahead is used during boot to read files in advance. readahead-list and sreadahead are out-of-date. Needs patched kernel!" The last part has not problem to me as kernel26-yi 2.6.38.2-2 seems to patch the kernel to support ureadahead, but is the first sentence, the one that talks about readahead-{list,fedora} being outdated. Could someone clarify this?
    3) About kernel26-yi 2.6.38.2-2. ¿Does only a kernel install or a full compilation? ¿What kind of patches does it ship with? (Aside from ureadahead support)
    4) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Im … tom_Kernel . Aside from the warning about the possible trouble with modules, is there any kind of common incidence with that options? Any kind of suggestion about more config options related to performance or to have in mind?
    5) Any other kind of suggestion?
    Feel free to suggest any option that trades RAM for performance, currently only a third of my RAM is used (or said in other words, more than half of my RAM is being unused (therefore useless)) and only gets to half or 2/3 when virtualbox is launched (twice everyday, during 5 mins or so)
    Thank you all in advance for your help.
    EDIT: I forgot to say, I like KDE and changing it is not an option, but feel fre to comment options on that way if you consider it would be a big deal.

    Yes, I forgot to mention that, but already using fastboot parameter (if that is the fastboot on my burg linux line, then i'm using it). As said, I'm very happy with my current status about booting and performance, no complains, only that something inside me wants to keep pushing on this.
    I read a bit about BFS and the CK patches today, maybe I'll give it a try, maybe not now, but someday sure.

    I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way; I mean it positively, from my own experience as a user and trainer: The "finer points" of difference between software products that seem to do similar things, are not trivial! My French teacher told us that there are some important rules, like, "All nouns that end in 'e' are feminine! (pause) EXCEPT..." and then he gave some of the many common exceptions.
    X-number of years doing <whatever> usually means X-number of years doing what I've learned to do and what behaves as I've learned to expect to behave. Those solid lessons and habits sometimes interfere with seeing other possible approaches, techniques, and outcomes for the same starting points. It's terribly frustrating to find that your reliable tools aren't effective. If you ever were comfortable with driving a stick-shift car, then changed to an automatic-transmission car, think of how many times you were surprised and frustrated when you stomped your left foot onto a non-existent clutch, until you adjusted to your new environment.

    A Document is a single file, which can contain one or many pages. Pages appear in "spreads" that can contain from one to ten pages. To save a document, use the File > Save or Save As... commands -- nothing odd about that.
    Are you familiar with the concept of the Master Page? Master pages are like templates for pages. Put stuff on the master page, then any document page based on that master page will have those elements in place (but they will not be selectable without overriding). You can hover a loaded "Place Gun" over an empty master frame and click, and the ID will automatically override that frame and put the content into it.
    Some people are comfortable thinking of a master page as a background that "shows through" on the document pages that the master is applied to.
    By default, every new document starts with two master pages, [None], which is used when you have other masters and you need a page with no master items, and A-Master which is the default name for the default master page applied to any pages when you first create the document. It starts out blank, unless you've checked the box for automatic text frame in the document setup, then it will have a single text frame that fills the are inside your margin guides. If you've selected "Facing pages" in Document setup, A-Master will actually be a two-page spread (with the spine in the center) and any automatic text frames will be "threaded" from left to right across the spread so that you can "autoflow" text. Automatic text frames are NOT required in most cases and are often a hindrance rather than a help. Page setup, including dimensions, margins, columns, and bleeds, is all together in the document setup dialog when you first create a file (you are creating the margins and columns for A-Master), but not all pages need to have the same margins or column setup (nor even the same size as of CS5), so once a document is created, you'll find margin and column adjustments under the Layout Menu. Changing the basic page size is still found under the Document Setup command in the file menu, but adjusting the size of an individual page in CS5 is done with the Page tool.
    A Book, in InDesign parlance, is a container for a group of document files that allows you to work on sections without having to scroll through one huge file and also allows for synchronizing colors, styles and even master pages across all the files in the Book. Individual documents may be included in more than one book, if you like, which allows you to multi-purpose documents.
    For some users, the idea of a book as a container for a group of files, thinking of the book as a folder, is fine. But other users may be more comfortable thinking of a book as a list of file names that should be treated as a single group, and the instructions for paginating, and applying other properties to them.
    Trust me, InDesign is a VERY complex bit of software, and you'll benefit immensely form buying Sandee's book or getting a subscription to Lynda,com.
    I like to think of InDesign as a pretty straightforward software application, and that its sheer number - several hundred - of specialized "core" plug-in components is what makes it complicated. There's at least a bit of learning necessary to take advangage of each  of these "building blocks."
    Please keep returning with your questions as you progress.

  • New PB 15" Fans, SMS, Temps, Gfx and other related questions!!

    Hi All,
    Apologies if this is a long one - I have a few points to raise.
    As a new 15" PB user I have spent the last week or so scouring these boards for information on my new baby. Much of it has been interesting, and I'd like to address a few of the issues raised.
    Fan Noise
    Some folks have mentioned a constant but quiet noise from a fan on the unit. i too am aware of this, but it is not the cooling fan, but the HARD DRIVE. I recently upgraded my whisper quiet iBook with a Seagate Momentus 5400rpm 80 GB drive, and the sound on my new PB is exactly the same as that which began after this HD upgrade -these hard drives are slightly noisier than slower models, but i'm happy to live with it as it is non-intrusive.
    As to the fan/s themselves on the powerbook - when do they actually turn on? I'm used to the iBook fan kicking in after 20 minutes or so of World of Warcraft, but I have still yet to hear my Powerbook fan outside of running the Apple Hardware Test. How hard do you need to push the machine before they come on?
    Temperatures
    I can see that there is an issue with most temperature readers in that they don't update on the PB properly. I'm using the latest version of Temperature monitor which seems to update, however the readings seem weird to me:
    Graphics Processor 100C, Power Supply Bottom 48C, Processor Bottomside 40.8, Processor /Controller Bottomside 41.5C, Hard Drive 36C, Trackpad 32.5C.
    Are these in line with evryone else's? I am concerned specifically about the graphics processor reading, which is odd, as I am simply sitting here typing this with no other apps open. initially thought the program may have picked up on the battery charge rate, as it varied from 97-100, but sometimes it will change erratically for no apparent reason.
    Ticking in 3D apps
    This may or may not be a new one. When I'm playing 3D intensive games with the sound muted I notice a ticking noise coming from the centre of the unit under the keyboard - it's not hard drive related. The ticking changes in speed depending on the scene shown on the screen, and seems to be consistent with the frame rate, i.e the ticking slows down as the framerate does. Anyone else notice this really weird behaviour?
    Apple Hardware Test
    When I received the unit a few days ago i ran the Apple Hardware test and was surprised that when we got to the video memory part the screen suddenly went allpatchwork coloured for about 15 seconds. The screen then returned to normal and the test was 'passed'. Is this normal?
    Sudden Motion Sensor
    The AMS tracker tool at kernalthread.com didn't work on my SMS equipped iBook - I really wanted to try out the little toys the author made where you rotate your machine and the display rotates to suit - a bit like a £1400 version of Warioware Twisted...
    Anyway, it doesn't work on my new PB, even though it was specifically designed to do so. I have noticed some issues on here about SMS, so does anyone else with a new Hi res powerbook have the same problem?
    Well that's about the total of my observations for the moment - any comments/suggestions would be most gratefully received!
    15"PB HiRes, 1.5GB Ram etc   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  
    15"PB HiRes, 1.5GB Ram etc   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  
    15"PB HiRes, 1.5GB Ram etc   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Hi David --
    I have comments that might help with regard to a few points in your post.
    Re fan noise: I have a Seagate Momentus 100 GB 5400 rpm factory installed and it's whisper quiet. I can't hear it over the noise of my typing even in a quiet room.
    Re temps. I, too, have Temperature Monitor v. 3.1 installed. It was the first temp monitor (credit to Ned Snowing for turning me on to it) that appears to update its temperature readings on my PB. I have six temp readings, like you, but none of them are marked graphics processor. Where you have graphics processor, I have "Battery Temperautre." Maybe it's because you have the October 2005 revision PB and I have the February 2005 revision, i don't know.
    My temps, starting with "battery" and then following the same ones as you outlined in your post, are: 31, 41.4, 40, 43, 35, 33 all º C. That 100º C reading you have has to be wrong, because it would surely well exceed the outer limits for the machine -- I don't see any category with a specified outer limit temp higher than 82º C.
    Can't help on 3D gaming, not really what I use the PB for.
    As for the AHT, I haven't run it in a while, but if I remember correctly, the patchwork graphics for 15 minutes thing that you describe is just the AHT doing its thing and testing your PB's graphics capabilities as part of its diagnostic process.
    Finally, as far as the Sudden Motion Sensor issue goes, you might find the following (I warn you, very long) thread regarding the effect that upgrading to 10.4.3 (which I see you are running) had on people's SMS. Here's the thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=228309&tstart=50 the long and short of things appears to be that on many people's PB's (mine included), upgrading to 10.4.3 appears to have messed with System Profiler's ability to report accurately the status of the SMS. It also effects the AMS and the ability of the programs you described to tap into the SMS. You need to read the entire thread carefully to get all the subtleties of what's going on, and no one seems certain as to whether the problem is just a reporting one or whether the issue goes deeper and actually implicates the functionality of the SMS itself. I'm done with it, frankly, until Apple comes out with either a statement (unlikely) or a new update (likely) that hopefully fixes the situation. It's bee reported to death through proper channels.

  • Lua Alchemy Demo Preview and Function Callback Question

    Been working with Alchemy some more to get Lua working as a
    scripting language. You can now create any AS class (available at
    runtime) using Lua, call functions, set/get properties, and even
    make Lua functions event listeners. Here is a preview of the demo
    that will go out (including links to the google code project on the
    help tab)
    http://arcanearcade.com/Flex/LuaAlchemyDemoV.1a
    This is just a preview of the V.1a release of the project. At
    this time there isn't any Lua sugar to make calling AS look more
    natural in Lua.
    We have been trying to figure out how to detect when
    ActionScript has cleaned up or no longer has need of a function -
    we would like to cleanup the Lua reference to the function when it
    isn't needed.

  • Aperture with Scanner and other related questions

    One month ago I've purchased an iMac 24", and I'm planning to buy Aperture.
    If some one can help me, I have these Questions:
    1.- Can I scann from Aperture importing from my Scanner Epson Perfection 3170 and put the pics on the Aperture Gallery?
    2.- Which file format TIFF, DNG?
    3.- Why use VAULT if I have an external HD and I use Time Machine
    4.- It make sense use Photoshop Elements if I buy Aperture?
    5.- Can I import on Aperture the keywords I've created on BRIDGE?
    Thank you
    Best regards
    Luis

    Hi. Point three the vault backup is aperture just being safe, yes the time machine is great and will work trust me. If god forbid there is a small fire from a power pack etc you can loose the pc and backup drive this is the point of the vault make another backup keep the drive at work for safety simple. The vault is great for making incremental backup very fast. Point 4 elements works a treat with aperture you can set it as external editor if you need too, the pair complement each other and the best thing elements is cheep now.

  • Website cache and update related questions

    Please could someone help me with my questions? I have been searching and I hear so many views that I don't know what to think. The image has the question text in it.

    adninjastrator and kglad thanks for the help but I am still not getting anywhere  :-( Please stay with me. I tried the "blarg="+new Date().getTime());" method but it did not work for me. Maybe I did somethign wrong or I am just plain thick.
    I am posting a simple TEST.zip folder to mimic my questions. Everything is linked properly so could someone PLEASE PLEASE add the code to it so I can see what I am doing wrong?
    You can download the TEST.zip folder (73KB) here- http://www.mediafire.com/?e0gegmdvh4xzcvg
    It's completely safe to download and please ignore the annoying  pop up ads. I signed up for free service hence the ads. 
    So in the TEST.zip folder start with index.html. 
    1- There you will see >Enter Button< and >portfolio.pdf< button. Nothing will change on  index.html page but the portfolio pdf will be regularly updated. So I want the >portfolio.pdf< to fetch the latest pdf always. I assume the code will go on the >portfolir.pdf< button?
    2- >Enter Button< will take us to master.html page which contains master.swf.  Master.html is only a container but master.swf will be regularly updated and needs to always load the latest master.swf version.
    3- Load image.swf button will load image.swf. I want the button to load the latest image.swf file always.
    So if someone could take couple of minutes and add the code the correct way to achieve the 3 things I am trying to do then I would be ETERNALLY grateful!
    If you don't have an upload method to pass me the edited files then feel free to mail them to-

    I hope someone replies. Thanks for helping me with your valuable time!

  • IMessage and iCloud Syncing Question

    We have four iOS devices in our family, all synced to one Mobile Me / iCloud account. We need to share calendars and contacts. I'm in the process of upgrading all of them to iOS 5 right now.
    Do we all need separate iCloud accounts to make iMessage work? How do I set it up so we each get individual messages?
    Is there any way I could have each iOS device synced to two iCloud accounts? One for contacts / calendars and one for iMessage?
    I guess I'm just not clear on how iMessage works. Is it attached to the iCloud account, or does Apple somehow magically know what device to send the messages to based off your contact list?
    I've never set up Facetime either. Would I set it up similarly?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Huh? You're just not settings things up properly:
    That's because y'all are using the Apple ID for iCloud/iMessage & FaceTime.
    While you can continue to use your ID for iTunes content, for everything else everyone needs their own ID
    The Apple ID needs to be a verified email address. Once you have an email address, that can be verified, go here & create the IDs:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
    Then on each phone, turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple IDs, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID y'all share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

  • Macbook Pro and iCloud storage questions/help

    Hi all, Im needing help here as my Macbook Pro has become extremely slow and sluggish, is this because there is too much stored on it? Having iCloud should help take extra room up on the Macbook should it not?
    Just general help and advice regarding these matters would be appreciated.

    iCloud is a syncing facility, not a separate storage one, and any data on iCloud is duplicated on your Mac. You would do better to buy an external hard disk and use it to store bulky data such as media files.

  • ICloud email and Apple ID question

    I have an odd problem, heres the background:
    I signed up with an iChat account a year ago when I got my new Mac Pro and chose a new sign in with an @mac extension. Then I changed my apple ID to MYNAME@MACdotCOM to reflect my iChat and to streamline all of my Apple ID's, etc. This ID however was never tied into an email account.
    Now that iOS 5 and icloud is finally out, I enabled email sync in iCloud and was prompted to creat a new @me username. So I did and used the same name that is on my Apple ID, the only difference is this new address has @me insted of @mac.
    iCloud set up on my mac like a breeze and Mail sees the new address and syncs up great.
    Now I go to my iPhone 4 with the new iOS 5 and enable all the cloud stuff under my Apple ID and everything syncs great. I go into mail on my iPhone and compose a new message and heres the problem: The "from" address in the new message is showing my Apple ID MYNAME@mac not the one created for iCloud (MYNAME@ME) AND when I try to send the message I get this "The sender address MYNAME@MAC was rejected by the server" . But when using Mail on my Mac, it sends and receives great and doesn't try to use the @mac address, only the @me... same when logged into iCloud.
    Now I know that my @mac was never a functional email address, but in iPhone mail it doesn't give me the option to use the @me address, only the @mac one. I assume that Apple is combining the two extensions since I can log onto the Apple site with the ID "MYNAME@ME" in stead of @mac and it logs me in just fine.
    My question is how can I get Apple to activate or allow the @mac for email or get iphone mail mail to stop trying to use the @mac? I assume someone at Apple would be able to make that happen via email or phone. Hmmm.
    I tried myself to change my Apple ID to @ME but the "edit" option is not available, Apple won't let me change it. I tried both through iTunes and the Apple website.
    thanks for reading and any help on the matter is greatly appreciated!

    An email alias will act just like you iCloud email address, and it will receive incoming mail at the same inbox. It will be added to your existing iCloud account/ID so you can continue to sign into your account with your current ID.
    Your iCloud ID is separate from your iTunes account ID.  You can keep your current iTunes ID and add a second ID for your new iCloud account; they do not need to be the same.  If you want to migrate your data to a new iCloud account, on your device go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account (this only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud).  When prompted choos Keep on My [iDevice].  Then set up a new account with a different ID and turn your iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted, choos Merge to upload the data to your new account.

  • HT204053 i want to change my icloud id on my iPhone, but it won't let me now that i have upgraded.  I no longer have the password and the problem is It is using an old id which the email isn't valid and the security question does not think my birthday is

    I want to change my icloud id on my iPhone, but it won't let me now that i have upgraded.  I no longer have the password and the problem is It is using an old id which the email isn't valid and the security question does not think my birthday is valid.  I cannnot delete the account because "find my iphone" wants the password linked to this old account.  But when i go into the find my iphone app it is using my corect Apple ID.  How do i fix this?

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

Question: when I activate my new AUS iphone which option should I choose - new phone or restore from backup?  I would like to have all my contacts, email, etc. however wasn't sure that option was appropriate since it is a different/new number and a new phone.

    Yes, as new iPhone then restore from backup.
