Saving from Preview to iCloud?

I just cropped an image in the Preview app from Mac OS. In between the Save As PDF functions it allows to Save to iCloud. But how can I find that file in iCloud?

By opening up Preview on the same or another Mac (setup with the same iCloud account) and opening the file from iCloud in Preview's open file dialog.
It cannot be accessed anywhere else.

No JPG option When saving from Previewer?

I liked the jpg option when saving a screencapture in Tiger. Why was that jpg option removed in Lion?
Now if you want to save a png image as a jpg you need to buy software to do that.
Am I missing something?
Thank you.

Export in .jpeg -- it's the same as .jpg -- an explaination for why it has a different extension but is the same thing can be found at the link below.

I'm trying to find a way to move pictures from Preview to iPhoto. Tried "rebuilding library"...nothing happens. Help!

I'm trying to find a way to move pictures from Preview to iPhoto. Tried "rebuilding library"...nothing happens. Pictures ssomehow wound up in Preview after I needed to do a clean install (Snow Leopard) and moved files from an external drive. Help!

If you saw the images with Preview in the other iPhoto Library, than try to open iPhoto with that Library:

If the Photos are there, replace the iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder with the one from the external. (posted by Keith)
My response:
The pictures don't appear in Preview in the other user account. They also don't appear in the external drive (!!!????). I discovered I can get the pictures into iPhoto by saving from Preview to the desktop, then importing into iPhoto, but only one at a time.
Clearly the files are on the hard drive somewhere, but where? The 'iPhoto library" icon that appears in my Pictures folder is a "package" which can't be opened on it's own....it's only able to be imported into Preview.
This feels like the Twilight Zone to me.....

If I delete a backup icon for an old iPhone on my iPad will it delete all the photos saved from that phone in my iCloud??

If I delete a backup icon for an old iPhone on my iPad will it delete all the photos saved from that phone in my iCloud??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It won't affect any photos in photo stream but any photos within the back up itself will go.

If I delete my Iphone from the Icloud back up will it remove the items saved from that device?

I had to purchase a new Iphone today because it would no longer turn on. I had Icloud set up for that device. When I got my new phone I put in my exsisting apple ID and it is showing my other device. Since it has both phones listed, am I able to delete the old phone, or will that take whatever is saved from that device off of my Icloud account?

Welcome to the Apple Community Erica.
Just do another back up.

I accidentally deleted documents from Pages on my iphone - and now they won't show up on my mac anymore either. I must have saved them just on icloud and not on my mac, too. is there anyway to recover these documents?

On a mac, when you save docs to icloud, a local copy is also saved. It's saved at:
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
If the file(s) are no longer there, then use your Time Machine backups to get copies back to the mac.

HT4759 How do I view the photos and documents saved from my computer on iCloud

How do I view the documents and photos that are saved from my computer on iCloud?

I have the question I saved my pictures and contacts and music from my iPhone 5

ICloud on my phone, and I want to delete his iCloud account, without losing all my data, including, my apps, contacts, calendar events, music. If I delete his account, will I still have everything saved from before?

My nephew set up his own iCloud account on my phone, and I want to delete his iCloud account, without losing all my data, including, my apps, contacts, calendar events, music. If I delete his account, will I still have everything saved from before deleting his account?? I don't want to lose a single thing...I'm afraid to delete his iCloud account, and risk losing EVERYTHING I have on my phone. Is there another way to save everything without the risk of losing everything from deleting his iCloud account?

Deleting the iCloud account from your phone only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with the account (that is, any data that is set to On in Settings>iCloud). However, when you delete the account you are prompted about what to do with the iCloud data. If you want to keep it on your phone, be sure to choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Also, be sure to save any photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else before deleting the account. To do this, open the photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
Deleting the account will not touch any other data on your phone (music, apps, etc.).

What is Preview for iCloud used for?

What is Preview for iCloud used for? Is this to save any document that can be opened in Preview to iCloud?
Thanks.

Preview is a Mac application capable of viewing a whole range of file types. It can save those files to iCloud which can then be accessed on another Mac setup with the same iCloud account.
Currently, files saved to iCloud from Preview cannot be accessed on iOS devices, as there is no equivalent iOS Preview app.

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
Håkan

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

Can I use applescript to export PDF search results from "preview"?

My question is about "Preview". I have a very large PDF document that I am using preview to view. After doing a search for a specific word, preview has returned 1200 results. The results panel shows the page number the result is found on and the line of text on which the searched-for-word is found.
My question is this: Is there a way to export this information from preview to something like an excel file? The end result would look like a table with two columns. One with the page numbers and one with the line of text in which the word appears.
Is this something that can be done with applescript? I don't know if the system even stores that kind of information... /sigh. Any help is appreciated.

Using Preview.app, I have done a search for the word “AppleScript” in the PDF version of the AppleScript Language Guide. Then, I have used the following script to retrieve the information displayed in the results panel.
tell application "Preview" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Preview"
return value of text field 1 of rows of outline 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of window 1
end tell

Many items don't have any page number. Is that what you are asking for?

I live in a home with two other people, and one housemate tried to sync up his content from iTunes and iCloud onto another housemate's new iPad. the iTunes library only contains my content. is there any way to retrieve the there person's iCloud?

Can they go out of my account? Their content is saved on their iPads, but can another iCloud be on the same home computer?

The syncing of music is one way, computer to phone. See this helpful document from a fellow user. Credit goes to the author.

Can't open files saved from Safari

In SL, I have a new problem with files that are saved from Safari.
I first noticed it with an Automator service I made, which took selected text and made a text file out of it. But I eventually discovered the problem seemed to be with Safari. Any time Safari saves a file -- if for example, I click a link and it downloads a .zip file, then there is something wrong with that file that prevents me from opening it in another app.
When I try to open the saved file, either by double-clicking in the Downloads window or from the Finder, the target app just starts bouncing in the dock and never opens. I have to force-quit it. If the target app is already open, it switches to it but never opens the document.
This is only for files that were saved by Safari. Other PDF's and zip's open just fine.
And, if I manually launch the target app, and then go to Open... and navigate to the saved document, I can open it fine.
Files saved from Safari seem to have something wrong with them. If I quit Safari, logout, or even reboot, they still refuse to open by double-clicking.
What could be causing this?

Reset safari
Safari/Reset Safari
Go to Your HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and remove to trash the "AdobePDFViewer.plugin".
Open Safari and a .pdf and it should now open with Preview in a Safari/Browser window.
If not then re download

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)

PDF saving in Preview with IRS forms ruins PDF

I am trying to save my tax form after filling it out in preview and when you "save as" the entire pdf shifts to the top right margin cutting off the edge. It prints correct and if you print - save as pdf it is also correct. However, print -save as pdf destroys the editable fields.
Tax form 1040

Thanks for the help,

macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Phew, I'm glad to find out that it isn't my Preview. I am trying to do the exact thing, and got the same issue. But I'm glad to hear that it prints correctly at least, although I haven't tried it myself. It's VERY annoying why the pdf shifts like that.
Regarding why the editable fields are destroyed, I'm almost certain that it's just how Preview is. I'm quote-ing the help from Preview Help. Topic is "Filling out PDF forms."
"... However, after you save the document, you can no longer edit any of its fields. Before filling out a form, you may want to create a copy of it, so you can go back to the original. And before saving the form, be sure it's filled out completely and correctly. ..."
