TS3992 Is it possible to backup documents and photos from my imac to iCloud?

I thought it was possible to backup data to the icloud services previously but I can't see how to do this. Is it really only designed for backup of iOS devices and not from a mac? Thanks

It will only back up data on iOS devices, not computers. If you want a cloud-based service to back up files and photos you might consider a service like Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive, etc.

Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

.psd (photoshop) files should open in preview to view them and make some simple adjustments.
If you want to edit them but don't want the expense of buying Photoshop (or Elements) for your Mac, consider downloading Gimp - it's free.

I have deleted email and photos from my device but icloud still says I don't have any storage

I have deleted emails and photos from my device but iCloud still says I don't have enough storage to download the latest iOS version

You'll have to delete more data from the device.
Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. (Ignore storage on icloud, since that is not part of the equation.)

HT1175 How do I get Time Machine to backup Documents and Photos?

My backups do not include photos and my documents folder. How can I get them included in the backup?

Time Machine will backup everything on the Mac unless you specifically Exclude the files from being backed up. If the Documents and Photos folder are not being backed up, then someone placed them on a list of items to be Excluded from backups.
These folders will appear in the list of Excluded items.
Click the Time Machine "clock" icon at the top of the Mac's screen
Click Time Machine Preferences
Click Options
Click on the Documents folder to highlight it, then click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the Documents folder from Excluded items.
Time Machine will now back up the Documents folder on the next pass.
Do the same for the Photo folder and it wil be backed up on the next pass as well.

HT4910 how to move my videos and photos from ipad storage to icloud storage?

I would like to purchase more videos and music from apple store, however i dont have enough storage space left, i purchased more storage for icloud back up, now i am having hard time to move files of movies, photos and music to icloud back up storage and i still can not buy more movies or music. How to move things to icloud storage please?

iCloud doesn't store movies or music. It only allows you to redownload purchases from the iTunes store if you ever lose them (assuming they are still available to redownload, and in the case of movies, that the studio permits it.) Also iCloud only stores your camera roll photos in your backup, which can only be accessed by restoring your iPad to the entire backup.
iCloud isn't designed to do what you are trying to do. iCloud is for syncing data across all your devices and for backing up your devices, not storing your data. You use iTunes on your computer for that. iTunes will add your purchased videos and music to your iTunes library so you can remove it from your iPad and add it back later if you want. To save your photos you import them to your computer (and then delete them from your iPad if you want) as described in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

New to the MacAir. Moved documents and photos from computer to flash drive. How do I now move to Mac? And how do I drag and drop?

New to the Mac and not finding manual helpful. Did not want to move everything from my old computer so just put the phots and documents I wanted on a thumb drive but don't know how to now move them onto the computer. Something talks of drag and drop but it won't move.
thank you
Jeanne

Understood, ... go into FINDER at top then PREFERENCES then GENERAL tab
then check "hard disks" and "external disks"
THIS WILL PUT A HD ICON ON YOUR DESKTOP YOU CAN OPEN AND DRAG AND DROP FILES TO (or from)
THEN verify the format of your external HD
go to DISK UTILITY and verify what it says your HD is formatted as under the "ERASE" tab
HFS+ above is the "mac format" however do NOT erase / format the HD, since this will erase it.....UNLESS you want to do this
Format (erase) it in "mac osx Extended journaled"
AFTER THIS YOU CAN DRAG AND DROP FILES AS YOU LIKE

Document and photo transfer

How do I transfer Windows documents and photos from an external hard drive to the proper corresponding folders and locations on my iMac?

Sorry, I had a typo in that sentence - I meant "on the left" (ie, the window which has your external hard drive displayed), and then I mentioned the keyboard shortcut "cmd-A".
There are lots of keyboard shortcuts which will come in useful for you. You've probably used similar shortcuts on the PC - on the Mac, we tend to use the command key ("cmd") which is immediately to the left or the right of the spacebar (both keys do the same thing; use whichever one you prefer). (In Windows, the "ctrl" key is used to do the same things.)
So, "cmd-A" means hold down the command key, and while you're holding it down, click the A key. This will select everything in the current Finder window - so, if you have a folder of files open, clicking cmd-A will select all the files.
Once it's all selected, click the mouse down anywhere in the blue selected area, and drag into the second Finder window.
You can use the Edit - Select All menu if you prefer, but keyboard shortcuts are usually more efficient.

I syced Itunes music and photos to my Ipad. Have replaced PC with new Imac, but cannot sync music and photos from Ipad to Imac(previous sync) Is there a way around this without loosing items on Ipad

Is it possible to copy music and photos from the Ipad to the Imac without syncing

With content purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
You need to transfer your iTunes library and your photos from your PC to your Mac along with all other important data from your PC that you will want or need to access on your Mac - no different when switching from one computer to another under any circumstances.

When I try to delete my account from my iPod it says "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in Icloud will be deleted from this iPod touch" Will I lose my pictures on my iPod?

I changed my email on my computer for my itunes and icloud. It made me manually change it on my ipod even after I synced. It won't change my email for my icloud and I have to delete it manually. "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in Icloud will be deleted from this iPod touch" comes up. Will I lose all my data stored on my iPod?

You will only lose your iCloud data, That includes iCloud backup, iCloud Contacts and Calendar, Reminders, Notes, everything listed in Settings>iCloud

Storing certain documents and photos

Can I store certain documents and photos in my iCloud without everyting going in there?

PhotoStream shunts pictures taken on one device onto all the others but they are removed from iCloud after 30 days. Shared PhotoStreams will be held on iCloud so you could use that, it's about the nearest thing:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm218e61076c
Documents created in iWork or TextEdit go to iCloud by default for syncing to other devices, so they are stored there, but other types of documents are not.
Backup backs up your iOS device, so that would include photos on it at the time, but you can only access them by doing a full restore.
If you want straightforward online storage where you can just access the files you will have to find a third-party solution. This page examines some options, some with a free starting level:

Tdms-files: Is it possible to prevent LabVIEW and DIAdem from creating .tdms_index files?

Hello,
is it possible to prevent LabVIEW and DIAdem from creating .tdms_index files when opening/creating/editing a .tdms file?
I think I have no benefit from the .tdms_index files because our applications create a lot of little .tdms-files (repeat measurements). With the additional .tdms_index files we have unnecessary memory consumption and it takes longer for Windows to open the containing folder. Also it´s confusing when searching for a certain file.
Best Regards
Daniel
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Baui,
I'm afraid there's a direct way to disable creating .tdms_index file now from LabVIEW and DIAdem. You can use TDMS Advacend API in LabVIEW, which doesn't create any index file, or you can just make some simple programming and delete the .tdms_index file after closing the TDMS file.
This is a request for a long time, we'll consider to add this feature for TDMS in future releases.

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi. I believe All my settings are correct. Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible.

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi. I believe All my settings are correct. Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible. Tablet is past warranty, so TechSup won't help. Any suggestions?

Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?
