"setting up iCloud drive" keeps going, and never stops?
completed documents don't open when I open Pages.
It will depend on how much data has to be moved to iCloud Drive. 30 minutes is a long time, but not unbelievable.

My fan keeps running and never stop
my laptop is dell studio 1458
the system is the latest archlinx x64, and now i am using kde 4.6
the problem is that the fan of my laptop keeps running all the time and never stop.
Is there any solution to this problem?
Thx...The warning is there so that people realize they need to be aware of the possible outcome if they don't properly check their fans during the setting up of the software.
The guide even suggests to keep a constant watch on the CPU's temperature during testing, and suggests how you can immediately spin up the fans to max in case of a too high temperature:
Second warning: Some of the steps outlined below describe how to tweak fan speeds. Before doing this be sure you have a low cpu load and are comfortable playing around. If at any time during tweaking you notice the CPU temperature start to rise dramatically, do a echo "255" > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/pwm1 to spin up the fan all the way until things cool down. Basically, you should know what you're doing before fooling with the configuration file.
Alternatively, there's a fan control deamon called dellfand. A related topic can be found here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=54865
Essentially, all these tools do the same. The temperature is polled and the fan speed is adjusted.
As far as I know, there is no alternative way / graphical tool to do this for you.
*edit*
considering this is a dell studio, have you checked the system's bios to see if the automated fan control is enabled?

Imac stuck at white screen loading and never stops.
I recently ran a virus scan, and may have deleted important Apple files. Now, ever since I've turned it off, it won't come back on past the loading screen. It just keeps spinning and never stops. I did a hardware scan and everything seemed to be good. Do you think I should reinstall the boot discs? Will this be a problem since it won't stop loading? Any other suggestions?
Glad you are booted and running!

I have taken all the steps to verify my iCloud account but in Settings the "verifying" icon at the top of the page keeps spinning and never actually verifying the account
Did you respond to the verification email from Apple by clicking the Verify Now link? If not, check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

I have an iPhone5 that has the iOS 8.0.2 software installed.
Since the installation iCloud Drive keeps Upgrading (buffering) and I can't get it to stop. In the meantime, it is eating up my battery.
The other problem is that I now have to shut the phone down using the top button so that the icons page goes away and my phone goes black.
I have lost 8% of my charge in one hour and have only sent 1 small text.
Can anyone help please?Sorry to tell you but unless you have a Retail Apple Store close by, they are the only ones I have found with all the adapters and accessories. I bought an extra lightning to usb adapter the other day to use in my truck. Good luck....

I made the fatal mistake of allowing iCloud to handle my @mac mail account.
I had set this address up with aliases and never had a problem.
Ever since iCloud has been handling it I have had problems.
It seams impossible to claim my account back from iCloud. How can it be achieved or has Apple set a booby trap?iCloud is the successor to MobileMe. MobileMe shuts down forever tomoorrow.
If you only want to use the email portion of your previous MobileMe account you can. You do not have to use all the other features of iCloud, just like you didn't have to use all the other features of MobileMe.
The email account has not really changed at all. Just the server address it comes from.
The sending emails problem you are having, is this on your Mac in Mail, in webmail at iCloud.com or on your iOS device?
When it doesn't succeed in sending, what does it do? Any error message?
What mail server settings are you using in Mail? What version of Mac OS X are you using? -
I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite
I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite - iPhone and iPad are updated but both say my iMac isn't (even though it is running Yosemite).
My iMac is OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389), memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and storage capacity is 273.64 free of 999.35 GB.
When i go to System Preferences and click on iCloud. The iCloud Drive section is greyed out and says setting up and a spinning pin wheel. It stays like this the whole time. I have tried restarting the computer. i amanita sure what else to do to make it work. Any suggestion would be great.I found another way to correct this...
1) Select Message, then go to Preferences,
2) a window will appear with 3 options, General, Accounts, Audio Video, don't be surprised when you see a video of yourself, your camera just turned on.
3) Select Accounts (you may have several here)
4) Select the account that has "iMessage" under the account name. This may likely be your Apple ID ****@me.com
5) Look at what is checked under the "You can be reached for messages at:"
6) Select the one account (or more if you like) and deselect the others
7) Close the window and the problem goes away.
I'm not longer getting my sons iMessages. -
Setting up iCloud Drive for a family is a nightmare!
Setting up iCloud Drive for a family is a nightmare! I have spent the last two hours trying to figure out a smart way to make it work! First off, even though the name is similar, iCloud Drive seems to be a very different thing than Google Drive or Dropbox. There is no "sharing" option. This is what is so frustrating at the moment.
My family has used one main Apple ID for years. I recently upgraded the iCloud space so my daughter could sync her iPhone to the cloud. So, I updated to Yosemite and iCloud Drive and REALLY LIKED many aspects of the new system. However, in order to make many of the new features work, like having the text messages come to the computer, and having the phone calls (which are linked to Facetime) come to the computer I am faced with all kinds of dilemmas. My wife and I have two Macbooks. In order for her to get her phone calls forwarded to her Macbook she needs to have her phone number AND e-mail address that's associated with the specific iCloud Account that her computer is logged into. We have mainly been logging in to the same Apple ID. In order for her to access her own phone vs. mine she will have to log her computer in to a different Apple ID - but that will also mean a new iCloud Drive.
I think these new features in Yosemite are great - but they are geared towards individual people. There have been many articles written about how to deal with Apple IDs within a family. There need to be some updated articles on how to deal with iCloud Drive and a family. To me it's just way, way too complicated. It seems like it doesn't "just work" anymore.It will depend on how much data has to be moved to iCloud Drive. 30 minutes is a long time, but not unbelievable.

Mail pinwheel just keeps going and going
After sending an email to hotmail.com the Mail pinwheel just keeps going and going and I keep receiving these massages (Delivery Status Notification (Failure)) with the same date and time. I delete them and they just keep on piling in the trash folder untill I decide to Delete them.
Text in the messages says:
The following message to <[email protected]> was undeliverable.
The reason for the problem:
5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable'
Final-Recipient: rfc822;[email protected]
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0 (permanent failure)
Remote-MTA: dns; [65.54.244.136]
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable' (delivery attempts: 0)
Reporting-MTA: dns; avas3.coqui.netIf they have already been removed from the server, you may be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with one message or just a few at a time).
If the problems persist, you’ll have to get rid of the *.emlx files associated with the offending messages and re-create the index.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), here are two alternative procedures that should allow you to fix the problem. Let me know which do you find more convenient and/or works better for you:
<hr>
PROCEDURE A
1. Select the offending messages in Mail.
2. Copy the following script, open /Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor, paste the script there, and click Run:
set theFileList to {}
tell application "Mail"
set theSelection to the selection
repeat with aMessage in theSelection
set aFileName to (id of aMessage as string) & ".emlx"
copy aFileName to the end of theFileList
end repeat
end tell
get theFileList
A list of the *.emlx files associated with the offending messages should appear in the script’s Result pane (and in Script Editor’s Window > Result History).
3. Quit Mail.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
5. In the Finder, go to the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder.
6. Move Deleted Messages.mbox to the Trash if there is nothing to be preserved there.
7. Locate the offending *.emlx files within INBOX.mbox’s Messages folder and move them out of there, e.g. to the Desktop. You can open the *.emlx files with a text editor to view their contents and check that they do indeed correspond to the offending messages before getting rid of them.
8. Go back to ~/Library/Mail/, locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
9. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it's “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
<hr>
PROCEDURE B
1. Quit Mail and make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
2. Open Mail.
3. Create a new custom “On My Mac” mailbox.
4. Select the affected account’s Inbox in Mail, then select all the messages it contains (Edit > Select All (⌘A)) and deselect the offending messages by Command-clicking (⌘-click) on them. That is, select all the messages in the mailbox except the offending ones.
5. Do Message > Move To, and select the mailbox created is step 3. That is, move to another mailbox all the messages that should be preserved and that are stored in the same mailbox as the offending ones.
6. Quit Mail.
7. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
8. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. Move INBOX.mbox and Deleted Messages.mbox to the Trash.
9. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it's “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.

Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder. -
